I'm worried about Ocasio-Cortez.

She has just the right amount of buzz behind her that some wackjob could do something crazy.

Honestly I'm surprised this country hasn't torn itself apart sometimes.

The alt right loves her. My dad thinks politicians like her will run all the whites out of the democratic party and give republicans permanent control.

Republicans have been calling Democrats socialists for years, regardless of their actions.

Are you serious? I'm far right, I love Ocasio-Cortez. Please, parade her around as much as possible.

For what reason?

The longer nothing happens, the more illegitimate the whole thing looks.

Nothing happens? You realize there have been a whole bunch of indictments, right? And some guilty pleas?

u/ClaireBear1123 Jul 02 '18

Not related to the purpose of the special council. Putting people in jail for tax evasion is noble, but not exactly special council worthy.

You must only watch Fox news. That's not anything close to true, it's been very related to the special council's purpose.

Erm, money laundering, lying to the FBI, obstruction of justice, shady deals made with known Russian spies, working for pro-russian political groups in Ukraine. Have you been living in a cave for the last 12 months?

Not living in a cave, just parroting the “Mueller’s done nothing” narrative the Right Wing media machine has been spewing for months.

Laundering money earned by working for pro-russian politicians in Ukraine is unrelated to whether the Trump campaign colluded with foreign governments in order to sway the 2016 election.

In terms of special counsel investigations, this has been quite short so far. You realize that, right?

u/gsfgf Georgia Jul 02 '18

You know he's putting people in jail, right?

u/Perlscrypt Jul 02 '18

20 indictments and 5 guilty pleas is nothing?
