Every Republican active in politics during the Trump era should be remembered based only on where they drew the line.

Did they draw the line at his openly racist immigration platform?

Did they draw the line when Trump mocked a disabled reporter?

Did they draw the line when he was sued for fraud?

Did they draw the line when he said a Hispanic judge can't be fair because of his race?
Did they draw the line when he urged his supporters to shoot Hillary Clinton?

Did they draw the line when he boasted about assaulting women?

Did they draw the line when he encouraged violence against journalists?

Did they draw the line over his ties to Russia?
Did they draw the line when he tore up every global treaty that keeps the world safe?

Did they draw the line when he banned flights from Muslim countries?

Did they draw the line when his administration shredded civil rights for workers, rape survivors, and disabled students?
Did they draw the line when he banned transgender military service because Fox said he should?

Did they draw the line when he forced a tax bill that gave trillions to the rich despite public opposition?

Did they draw the line when he tried to strip 20 million of health care?
Did they draw the line when he called neo-Nazis "very fine people"?

Did they draw the line when he ripped families apart at the border and threw innocent kids in camps?

Did they draw the line when he paid off a porn star?
Did they draw the line when he put an accused rapist on the Supreme Court?

Did they draw the line when he shut down the government for a month because Congress wouldn't fund his wall?

Did they draw the line when he then stole that money from the military budget anyway?
Did they draw the line when his administration relentlessly ignored every ethics law on the books, hiring family, campaigning in government roles, stealing taxpayer money?

Did they draw the line when he attacked pro athletes who kneeled for racial justice?
Did they draw the line when the special counsel found he obstructed justice?

Did they draw the line when he tried to bribe the president of Ukraine to prosecute Joe Biden's family?

Did they draw the line when he fired every public servant who spoke at his impeachment?
Did they draw the line when he tear gassed civil rights protesters at the White House?

Did they draw the line when he sat back and let 350,000 people die in a pandemic?

Did they draw the line when he sabotaged the Postal Service?
Or did they wait, through ALL OF THOSE THINGS, until he's two weeks from leaving and fomented a violent coup attempt at the U.S. Capitol, and decide, wow, I had no idea he could do something like this, all that other stuff was okay but THIS is a bridge too far?
If you're a Republican, then my respect for you directly depends on how long you took, from the day Donald Trump descended down that escalator in 2015, to realize this guy was a fundamental threat to the basic principles of this country.

If you waited until now...sorry. Nope.

Trump is gonna let the Mueller investigation end all on it's own. It's obvious. All the hysteria of the past 2 weeks about his supposed impending firing of Mueller was a distraction. He was never going to fire Mueller and he's not going to


Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.

Mueller's team was 100% partisan.

That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election

They looked high.

They looked low.

They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.

And they found...NOTHING.

Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.

What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?

THERE WEREN'T ANY.

Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.
My piece in the NY Times today: "the Trump administration is denying applications submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services at a rate 37 percent higher than the Obama administration did in 2016."

Based on this analysis: "Denials for immigration benefits—travel documents, work permits, green cards, worker petitions, etc.—increased 37 percent since FY 2016. On an absolute basis, FY 2018 will see more than about 155,000 more denials than FY 2016."

"This increase in denials cannot be credited to an overall rise in applications. In fact, the total number of applications so far this year is 2 percent lower than in 2016. It could be that the higher denial rate is also discouraging some people from applying at all.."

Thanks to @gsiskind for his insightful comments. The increase in denials, he said, is “significant enough to make one think that Congress must have passed legislation changing the requirements. But we know they have not.”

My conclusion:
