Robert Mueller was a wounded Marine, a decorated veteran, and a public servant who spent his life defending the rule of law. The President of the United States responded to his death with glee.
My question exactly, this despicable behavior,coupled with his overt corruption and a war no one wants and that will take years for the country to recover from…the Reps have got to do something to stop this, this level of evil is unsustainable
Ego yes and money most of all. They'll do anything to keep their paychecks and right now Trump controls that. They are afraid he'll fire them. But the American people should fire them when we vote. That's why the Republican Congress and Trump are trying to control upcoming elections.
Unfortunately, members of the Republican Caucus don't have the backbone to drag themselves out of the cesspool. Apparently, they have concluded that their “job” in Congress is more important than the country they “supposedly” serve. Every one of them who will not stand up and do the right thing deserves to lose.
Trump is an evil blasphemer and immoral liar. To be hated by him means that you stand for everything that he is not. Truthful, honest, devoted to goodness and integrity. Trump doesn’t know what any of that means.😔
I’ve come to think EVIL (as Mr. Kinzinger says)stands for Egocentric Venal Illiterate Loser. I had trouble finding a word for the “L”; perhaps someone who is more clever can find a better one. All suggestions cheerfully accepted.
Thank you, Adam, for putting into words what we all are feeling. I was shocked by Mueller's death and horrified by the response of the president. RIP, Robert Mueller.
This struck me hard too today, seeing our US President's shameful words in reaction to the passing of an honorable public servant. Thank you for putting words to my feelings. My thoughts are with his family.
yet there are many many many trump supporters in the military and all law enforcement.
and as for the people who voted for putin-style-dictator trump and the putin-style-rubber-stamp-repugnican-congress….. well they can all rot in hell.
yes i constantly get people saying ‘well i’m not going to turn my back on my grandparents’, or ‘my uncle is a very nice person’, or ‘my friend has always been part of my life’ etc etc etc ad nauseum…..well, why not think of them as actually having zero in common with you and your values – because that is the fact of the matter. 1 of you is not being true to your values...you decide if it's you or them....
Being a trump voter is more than just wanting an end to wars, or wanting the inflation rate to come down etc – it is about accepting and supporting ‘hatred of others’, bullying and demeaning American citizens, weakening EPA and other environmental laws putting everyone’s health in danger, taking away ACA healthcare will cause many people to suffer or die, supporting the trump ICEstapo will ensure regular americans like alex pretti, renee good, ruben ray martinez, the blind rohinga man Nurul Amin Shah Alam will DIE – and all of that is OK to them? They’ll continue to vote for the putin-style-repugnicans and the putin-style-trump-dictator?????….
imagine you had married a jew in nazi germany and your grandmother gave his/her name to the nazi gestapo who hauled him/her off to a concentration camp, never to be seen again….you’d still love your wicked horrible racist grandmother??????
until your grandparents, uncles, friends all admit they made a mistake by voting for trump, why the fcuk are you pandering to them???? you have to be stronger than them - family does NOT mean love - and in this case it means the exact opposite. they despise you and your values, and you let them, and YOU ‘change’ the subject when it comes up, because you are unable to stand up for your so-called values!!!!!
yeah, make whatever fcuking excuses you want, you are part of the problem that is propelling this country along a dark-putin-style-path, and verrrrry little will be capable of being reversed. when trump’s putin-style-billionaire-oligarchs control all the media, and most large corporations, it will NEVER become free again.
IT’S ALL ON YOU…..even though you are obviously reading this on progressive independent media…..your lack of YELLING and changing the way that you and mushy-sloppy-mylk-toast-dem-politicians see the world, the faster we will become a putin-style-russia with state controlled media, healthcare for the elite only, a wealth gap wider than the deepest part of the ocean, and a complete lack of any form of equality!
100%. I’ve had to make some hard choices throughout this nightmare but so be it. At 72, I hope I’m around long enough to see our country right itself from this travesty. And yeah, Bob Marley was right!!👍👍👍
Ajay, I feel and share your anger and have essentially cut off relations with family members who support this evil. I told them I could understand someone voting for him in 2016 (although I couldn’t). But after January 6, whoever voted for him again was complicit in the chaos that would follow. And here we are.
thanks for your honest comment - yes it is hard…..but as we found, it is harder to deal with our moral convictions and ethics if we don’t fully commit to them. thank you for your support. it is a warm feeling knowing we are not alone :)
Adam, thank you for this post. And thank you for saying all of this out loud. Especially the part about Republicans denouncing Donald Trump‘s evil ways.
The ocean and it's creatures don't deserve the pollution of his vile, stinking corpse-expel him into space without any casing like a coffin or space suit- where his evil will get diluted faster.
There’s a garbage dump I can suggest putting him in. He’d be good fertilizer. 💩 always is. Then something can be appropriately named after him. And they can take his name off anything else he’s placed it on.
Ivana is buried near the first tee at his Bedminster NJ golf course. He did it so he could get a tax break on the course as a cemetery. He's a vile cretin through and through.
Well, shame on him AND her children for not speaking up in her behalf. The poor woman, who actually from all accounts I’ve read about her (Ivana), was very helpful to Trump in the early days of his businesses, gets buried on a golf course??. The more I learn about Trump the more I feel just creepy disgust. It’s hard to find even one redeeming quality in this man.
You can bet that will happen eventhough he’s going to want some golden mausoleum built for himself. Stick him in his private family plot on his golf course with his first wife, Ivana. Otherwise, it will be defiled…guaranteed
Donald Trump is indeed evil. Robert Mueller served this country with honor and commitment. He is a perfect example of an American committed to this country. Donald Trump is only committed to himself. Despite his thoughts that he is the greatest president ever, to the contrary he is the worst president this country has ever had.
I shared Adam's post on FB and a friend who is a Trump fan said that "Regardless of who is in the oval it always should be about policy over personality." Have we discovered the core difference between Trumpers and others? They can deal with ANYthing he dishes out since he supports things they care about?! For me, when I don't agree with a person's policy AND they are the antithesis of Christian values, it's an absolutely intolerable situation to deal with vs. just a bit concerning because I cannot trust their judgement/base instincts when it comes to the big decisions that impact hundreds of millions of people, when the 'greater good' is often more important than policy.
I heard what Trump said about Mueller's Death on the new this evening and I gasped, I have done this many times since trump took office this second time. I was angry and disgusted as I have been many times before since trump entered politics years ago and has soiled our nation over and over again. His state ment was vile and from a heart that is dark and selfish, insecure and bloated with ego and drunk with power. That is him. Those who cannot see this have been blinded and brainwashed. I am so sorry for this. I am not some craven lunatic from the left but as pretty regular American trying to be mind, work for the common good and try to avoid useless name calling but I cannot be silent about the terrible things trump is doing and saying all of which reveal his true character and the deep motives of his soul. This man is not somehow god's elect and the savior of American. He has jettisoned us and them world on a dangerous destructive path.
Adam's well worded essay and commentary underline this.
God help us get though this dark and chaotic period that one man has thrown us into. Any other president that said adn did what he has done would have been impeached already or arrested and faced justice in the courts. I am so disgusted with the Republicans who have consented to all this with their tails between their legs in fear of trumps punishments and retribution should they come out and challenge or condemn his words, policies or action. Oh how the mighty do eventually fall and give en trump trajectory, he is well on his way. The weight of his own lies and malfeasance will be his undoing.
After what Trump said about Rob Reiner and his wife, I’m not surprised. I’m horrified and sickened, but not surprised. What do you expect from a sociopathic narcissist? I’m sure he knows deep down that that’s the sentiment most of the world will have when he dies.
Your former republican colleagues should be ashamed of themselves. How can they continue to enable this sociopath?
My question exactly, this despicable behavior,coupled with his overt corruption and a war no one wants and that will take years for the country to recover from…the Reps have got to do something to stop this, this level of evil is unsustainable
They lack both the courage and the moral character.
Yet a few, including ones like Greene and Boebert, are actually opposing him. It seems to be the men who are lacking courage and moral character.
It’s the ego, always about their ego. They have zero moral character.
Ego yes and money most of all. They'll do anything to keep their paychecks and right now Trump controls that. They are afraid he'll fire them. But the American people should fire them when we vote. That's why the Republican Congress and Trump are trying to control upcoming elections.

There’s no bottom to this evil creature
What a lovely eulogy for a *true* patriot!
Trump is an evil blasphemer and immoral liar. To be hated by him means that you stand for everything that he is not. Truthful, honest, devoted to goodness and integrity. Trump doesn’t know what any of that means.😔
I’ve come to think EVIL (as Mr. Kinzinger says)stands for Egocentric Venal Illiterate Loser. I had trouble finding a word for the “L”; perhaps someone who is more clever can find a better one. All suggestions cheerfully accepted.
i believe he thinks all the positive qualities you enumerated, francine, are weaknesses.
Their silence is deafening..and we won't forget....shame shame shame
thanks for commenting on their silence. it truly is deafening. and appalling.
You’re 💯 % correct. I’d like to start publishing all their names so people won’t forget who they are.
Yes, I agree, bring all of the names out into the open. American's need to know who they voted for.
Thank you, Adam, for putting into words what we all are feeling. I was shocked by Mueller's death and horrified by the response of the president. RIP, Robert Mueller.
This struck me hard too today, seeing our US President's shameful words in reaction to the passing of an honorable public servant. Thank you for putting words to my feelings. My thoughts are with his family.
If anyone in the military is still on his side there’s something wrong with them
yet there are many many many trump supporters in the military and all law enforcement.

GET UP. STAND UP. STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHT.
GET UP. STAND UP. DON’T GIVE UP THE FIGHT.

Adam, thank you for this post. And thank you for saying all of this out loud. Especially the part about Republicans denouncing Donald Trump‘s evil ways.
We appreciate you.
We need you.
Trump is a disgrace to the human race.
Just vile excrement. There will be a line 100 miles long to pee on his grave. They better bury him on one of his golf courses in an unmarked grave.
He should be buried at sea because he doesn’t deserve the honor and privilege of being buried in American soil.
The ocean and it's creatures don't deserve the pollution of his vile, stinking corpse-expel him into space without any casing like a coffin or space suit- where his evil will get diluted faster.
Maybe Elon Musk can help with the space flight. 😂
There’s a garbage dump I can suggest putting him in. He’d be good fertilizer. 💩 always is. Then something can be appropriately named after him. And they can take his name off anything else he’s placed it on.
At least the ocean will dilute all of the urine poured on him.
Why pollute the seas? Put him on one of Musk's exploding rockets to the sun. The sun will remove every bit of pollution emanating from his corpse.
It won't even make it to orbit, but explode and scatter Trump's shit all over the world. Who wants that?
Too late - it has already happened!!
Touché
Just burn him up!! Gonna be plenty hot where he's going anyway!! 😂
Trump’s grave will never be safe from desecration.
I think he buried a former wife on his golf course. 🤔
Ivana is buried near the first tee at his Bedminster NJ golf course. He did it so he could get a tax break on the course as a cemetery. He's a vile cretin through and through.
Well, shame on him AND her children for not speaking up in her behalf. The poor woman, who actually from all accounts I’ve read about her (Ivana), was very helpful to Trump in the early days of his businesses, gets buried on a golf course??. The more I learn about Trump the more I feel just creepy disgust. It’s hard to find even one redeeming quality in this man.
There isn’t any redeeming quality about this person!
You can bet that will happen eventhough he’s going to want some golden mausoleum built for himself. Stick him in his private family plot on his golf course with his first wife, Ivana. Otherwise, it will be defiled…guaranteed
No, I like another poster’s gravestone with three words on two lines: Despicable… Piss Here
We missed the opportunity to strangle this presidency in the crib. Now it is a freak on steroids acting like a Tasmanian devil.
Or Lucifer.
Well said...and so true.
Trump’s response is disgraceful! Better he would say nothing! I have NEVER considered him fit for any public office!
Donald Trump is indeed evil. Robert Mueller served this country with honor and commitment. He is a perfect example of an American committed to this country. Donald Trump is only committed to himself. Despite his thoughts that he is the greatest president ever, to the contrary he is the worst president this country has ever had.
Trump hates him because he was everything Trump isn't.
Exactly right.
May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort knowing he was very much loved by many many good people.
Thank you for this…it puts into words the nauseous feeling I have and the shock that I can still be shocked by his misdeeds…😔

May Mr. Mueller rest in peace.
You have spoken for many of us!! BRAVO!!!!
Thanks, that is a nice compliment.
I didn't gasp because it's in perfect character for Trump.
Yes I agree!! Very well said. 👏👏👏
After what Trump said about Rob Reiner and his wife, I’m not surprised. I’m horrified and sickened, but not surprised. What do you expect from a sociopathic narcissist? I’m sure he knows deep down that that’s the sentiment most of the world will have when he dies.
My thoughts exactly....he cannot even show a shred of decency with someone's death.
He is evil to the core.
Well stated. The Mueller family and (most) Americans are grieving the loss of a great man. Rest in Peace.
Evil Trump
