Nothing happens

The redacted version of the Mueller Report is out. The administration is spinning hard saying there’s nothing to see here. Progressives are saying actually, there is a great deal here that’s damaging to the nasty guy.

From a Twitter thread from a couple weeks ago Sarah Kendzior lists things that we don’t need the Mueller report to see. These are things in the public domain. Some of them:

* The nasty guy asking Russia for HRC’s emails at a July 2016 presser.
* Roger Stone collaborating with Wikileaks.
* The changes to the GOP platform to make it more favorable to Russia.
* The 2016 Trump Tower meeting which Don Jr. tweeted about in 2017.
* Multiple staffers, including Ivanka, Jared, and Jeff Sessions, lying about illicit Russian contacts on their clearance forms.

I’ve heard it said that if these crimes are brazenly out in the open and nobody does anything, they must not be serious crimes.

Kendzior quotes her Gaslit Nation podcast:

You don't need the Mueller report to see all this. What we need are answers about why nothing was done when all this took place in public and was a massive security threat. And we need answers about why the media lied about it then and now.

Ilhan Omar, a new member of Congress who is a Muslim woman, is still learning how to be careful in what she says. The nasty guy created an inflammatory video from her words and she is getting death threats. Congress has enhanced her security detail. People are now asking what happens if Omar is killed or harmed because of that tweet.

A Twitter user with the handle 5’7” Black Male has an answer:

Nothing. Nothing happens.

Nothing happens then that didn't happen when an admitted rapist white supremacist became President.

Everyone keeps waiting for the critical moment that signals that it's all gone too far.

It already happened. We did nothing useful about it.

I know how everyone feels.

I get it. It's the same feeling I had when I was SURE that once we had video of the cops shooting an unarmed child, that things would finally change.

Because you think at some point it has to be obvious that it's all gone off the rails.

But nope.

People will continue to await the sign.

They will continue to wait for the signal in the sky that says "Now is the time to fight back"

And they'll ignore that it's been on the whole time.

He gives reasons why he feels this way:

There have been plenty of reasons outside the Mueller Report to impeach the nasty guy. Nothing done.

Every news network has continued to allow a network of itinerant liars to continually excuse and misinform the public about the long list of crimes committed by the President.

The media still treats him as a legitimate leader even as he incites violence towards them as he undermines their own legitimacy. They should be pushing back and aren’t.

The day that the Presidency is brought down by harm caused to a woman of color is the day after we already fixed white supremacy in America somehow.
