The President of the United States learned that Robert Mueller had died.
And he picked up his phone and typed:
“Good. I’m glad he’s dead.”
I need you to stop.
Put down whatever you’re doing and feel the full weight of those words.
Good. I’m glad he’s dead.
Said by the man who holds the most powerful office in the history of human civilization. The office of Washington. Of Lincoln. Of Roosevelt standing in the rubble of Pearl Harbor promising a nation trembling in the dark that we would rise.
That office.
Those words.
Now let me tell you who Robert Mueller was.
He did not have to go to Vietnam.
He had every reason not to. A Princeton degree. A blown-out knee. A future waiting for him in the comfort of civilian life.
He waited a full year for that knee to heal, just so he could serve.
Let that sink in.
He walked into hell when other men were running from it. He came home with a Bronze Star for heroism and a Purple Heart soaked in the blood of his sacrifice. He spent the next four decades standing in the breach, as a prosecutor, as FBI Director, as the man who held this nation together in the smoldering ash of September 12th, 2001, when we were all afraid and we needed someone steady, someone serious, someone who loved this country more than he loved himself.
He was all of those things.
He was a Republican.
He was, by every honest measure, an American hero.
And the President danced on his grave.
Congress…
You get paid $174,000.
You only work 160 days.
You get fantastic benefits.
You can legally insider trade.
You get a pension after just 5 years.
You can pass bills that funnel $ to a family member.
You can approve your own travel with other people money.
Unbelievable.
@WhiteHouse The US Government: “We’re 37 trillion dollars in debt and Americans are barely making it.”
Also the US Government: “GUYS! Wouldn’t it be fun to build a 90,000 sq ft ballroom to host parties?!”
A local Liverpool boy showed up at the Springsteen concert tonight and played a couple Beatles songs with the Boss. The crowd went WILD!! Thank you, Bruce and Sir Paul McCartney!
You know what happens when you erode the rule of law? Businesses hold off on taking risks and making investments.
You know what happens when businesses hold off on taking risks and making investments? Economic growth stalls.
You know what happens when economic growth stalls? People lose their jobs and their retirement savings shrink.
Don’t think this won’t personally affect you. It will. It already is.
Historian here:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
Putin is a lifelong officer of the KGB. It's hard to think of an organization in history that has done more killing of Christians and destruction of Christian churches than the KGB. Now, that same KGB officer is murdering innocent Christians in Ukraine every day. Christians in America, please take note. As a Christian myself, I do not want my government to seek an alliance with this KGB killer.
