And notice how they are already doing their report before interviewing him. When has that happened before?

I seem to remember anti-Hillary folks saying it was deep state to do a write up before the final interview. I explained that it was logical to start a report earlier, but everyone was convinced it was a deep state. I mean how else could you make a conclusion prior to the interview?
Lack of evidence of intent - exactly!
Mueller is part of the Deep State. He is working for the DC Establishment.
Another mixed week for the Trumpster.
China and trade - A- Our intellectual property cost us billions (maybe trillions) to create, so doing something serious to push back was obviously needed. A simple negotiation would have involved China agreeing to stop and then continuing with business as usual, so some sort of hardball was needed here because they cannot be trusted. Finally we are hitting the right target with our trade grievances, but my only concern is that the insulting rhetoric will make it impossible for China to actually remedy those tings that need to be fixed because it will look like they were spanked and HAD to comply. I was glad to hear Trump say he was friends with Xi and say he could work with him, so that might take some of the sting out of a possible compromise. Zuckerberg is the only one that thinks stealing intellectual property is no big deal....because it made him very rich.
Amazon - F- It's up to these brick and mortar guys to figure out how to compete with Amazon. Attacking Amazon like Trump is doing is much like the leftist idiots that continually attacked Walmart. Yes, Jeff Bezos is an azzole, but so is every self-made billionaire (yes Guisslap, even the Donald).
The Caravan - C+ or B- In the world of 20+ trillion dollars of debt, run away entitlements, terrorism, sanctuary cities and a growing welfare state, he gets an A+ for protecting our borders. He loses credit for not pointing out the very hypocrites that were attacking him for saying some countries were chitholes are saying we should allow these people entrance because their countries are unbearable chitholes. He should also be promoting the proper way to become an immigrant (because we DO want immigrants) does not involve dragging your infants and pre-teen children across a hostile landscape. It's difficult to not feel compassion for them whether they can come here or not.
Trump gains ground, much to liberals’ horror
In 2010, as President Obama’s popularity spiraled downward, Jeff Greenfield wrote for CBS News that “historically, no president in modern times has significantly improved his approval numbers in his second year.” Don’t look now, but some polls show President Trump is doing just that.
In the second year of his presidency, President Trump’s approval ratings are climbing, to the utter horror of liberals, who cannot for the life of them understand why.
Some 51 percent of the country now supports the president, according to the Rasmussen poll – up from 42 percent a year ago.
President Obama, at the same date, had 47 percent of the country behind him, down from 57 percent the year earlier.
The stock market is skittish, trade wars loom, President Trump tweets with abandon, Stormy Daniels dominates headlines, White House staff members come and go, and – oh yes – there’s pesky Special Counsel Robert Mueller trying to find evidence that President Trump obstructed justice or that he or his campaign conspired with the Russians.
Democrats wonder, how on Earth can Trump be gaining ground?
Here’s a clue: real growth is running above 3 percent, unemployment claims are the lowest since 1969, wage growth is the best since 2009 and Americans are more optimistic than they have been since 2004.
These are stunning stats, but just as important is this: many Americans think the president is trying to do the right thing. They view him as confronting a hostile media and an entrenched bureaucracy. And on numerous policy issues – like immigration, gun control and trade with China – President Trump is in synch with most Americans.
The same cannot be said for progressive Democrats or, for that matter, many of the Freedom Caucus very conservative types.
How do we know? Polling on the “direction of the country” indicates that Americans are more positive on what’s going on in the United States than they have been since 2009.
Meanwhile, approval ratings for Congress show it surely isn’t our legislators who are getting credit for the positive trend.
The president has long called out media bias; the public is beginning to agree with him. In a recent Gallup survey, nearly half the country thinks that there is a “great deal” of political bias in our news coverage, up from 37 percent in 2012.
A new Rasmussen poll finds that 52 percent of likely U.S. voters believe “when most reporters write or talk about the president, they are trying to block him from passing his agenda,” up from 44 percent a year ago and 47 percent in August.
This is why President Trump calls out the media at every opportunity. Not only is he right, it makes him an underdog, and Americans love underdogs.
On immigration, the president, like most of the country, supports a path to legal status for the so-called Dreamers, but also favors tightening our borders. A huge majority of the country agrees, with both those opinions.
A Harvard Harris poll conducted earlier this year found that 79 percent of Americans favor a secure border, and nearly 70 percent oppose the diversity lottery system now in place. Almost 80 percent prefer merit-based immigration to a policy that prioritizes family ties. A Morning Consult/Politico poll also revealed a preference for merit-based immigration.
The left has become untethered on this topic, increasingly equating legal and illegal immigration. Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez says that asking about citizenship on the U.S. census form is a "craven attack on our democracy." He’s got it exactly backwards; sending legislators to Congress to represent people who are in the country illegally is an attack on our democracy, and most Americans agree.
Gun control is another issue on which the president has veered towards the popular middle, demanding that his administration produce a rule banning bump stocks, for instance.

A little tidbit about the dem voting base.
http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2018/...-earth-survey/
Yet, they believe we control the climate of the entire planet.
the democrap base believes the Earth is flat....why am I not surprised by that.
The flat Earth map shows the US has 57 states....
