Donald Trump's reaction, on Truth Social this afternoon, to Mueller's passing: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” [1] What a great guy. [1] https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1162683345353...

> His 448-page report released in April 2019 identified substantial contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia but did not allege a criminal conspiracy. Mueller laid out damaging details about Trump’s efforts to seize control of the investigation, and even shut it down, though he declined to decide whether Trump had broken the law, in part because of department policy barring the indictment of a sitting president. It still boggles my mind that Trump was even allowed to run for president again, when he publicly and very evidently did whatever he could to try to stop the investigation of himself. In what world does it serve democracy well to let people like that even be candidates or involved in politics at all?

I get why this got flagged and I'm kind of sad for that. I found Mueller to be highly ethical at times and driven by irrationality (to the point of disingenuousness) at other times. There was a lot to cover about him.

Why is this eulogy flagged but the Chuck Norris eulogy not? Mods? Some consistency would be nice.
