The post-Mueller presser reporting on NPR was really good - Steve Inskeep used the word "lie" often

As in "after listening to Mueller, it is clear that every time that Trump comes out and says "no collusion, no obstruction", or "the report cleared me of any wrong doing", he is simply lying - and lying often.

Had to stop the car briefly and process that.

Then I started going again, because WE KNEW THIS - most of us here have known since election theft night. And still - he is there, shitting all over the world with every vacuous though, action, tweet.

Another comment made - "given what we just heard, Nancy Pelosi is the most powerful politician in the country right now - what will she do"?

your previous posts that you don't watch much (if any) cable news, and I appreciate the view from another source.

Note the date of this tweet...
Mary Louise Kelly (@NPRKelly) Tweeted:
"Lie" speaks to intent, which is hard thing to prove. Trying to stick to facts. But this is a live conversation @NPR & in other newsrooms. https://t.co/S44Fahq5nX

The tap dancing and dervish whirrling on this topic that NPR did was worthy of another movie on Ballroom Dancing.Glad to see/hear the change, finally.


And as to print media-Haberman & Thrush of the NYT, both who have sold themselves for access and money so cheaply, need to go far away & STFU.
