Trump posted on social media after the announcement of Mueller’s death: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead.” The Republican president added, “He can no longer hurt innocent people!”

What an uber-douche. I read the morning news Every. God. Damned. Day. And the headline is never, "Trump is dead."

But there's always tomorrow.

Edit: I did not mean to change the focus from Mueller to Trump. Buuuuutttt... they might want to check his polonium levels...

It's one of the only things keeping me going, knowing that today could be the day.

It's why I get up every morning and check the news. One day will be the day.

Trump said he's glad he's dead.

He’s also glad hundreds of Iranian school children are dead by his hands. He’s a piece of shit sociopath. Mueller was the one responsible for limiting the scope of the investigation, so he should probably be happy with him. Just like Comey handed a Trump the election in 2016.

That'll be nothing compared to the jubilation when Trump is called to Hell by the devil.

Robert Mueller failed to bring charges for specious reasons while readily admitting crimes had in fact been committed.

from the article

Trump on Saturday celebrated Mueller's passing. "Good, I'm glad he's dead," Trump wrote on the Truth Social site. "He can no longer hurt innocent people!"

Died of regret for not finishing his job. Yeah it would suck to convict a president, but look at how many lives would have been better and saved altogether if he had finished the job.

Is it a dead link now for anyone else?

It's still listed in some search engines, but that is also a dead link.
