Many have been hoping that 2019 will somehow show an improvement over last year. (The same was said in 2018…and ’17, and ’16…) All signs though are pointing to only more of the miasma continuing.
Case in point: a company has come out to announce it is producing an action figure of the jowly, taciturn DOJ special investigator Robert Mueller.
It's Mueller Time! We're excited to announce the Robert Mueller Action Figure is now available for pre-order. https://t.co/5rLHMOpi2V pic.twitter.com/iC7wcdhoxJ

Seriously. This is a thing, and it is happening. According to The Hill:
FCTRY CEO Jason Feinberg called Mueller the closest thing to an “anti-Trump.”
“Mueller is literally the closest thing there is to an anti-Trump and he has come to symbolize all the virtues [President] Trump lacks — honor, dignity, integrity, ohh … and silence,” Feinberg said in a statement. “We’re legitimately excited about the real-life [Mueller] and what he brings to the narrative of these times.”
For the record, this is the same posturing doll maker that created the Ruth Bader Ginsburg action figure that became a tree topper for Michael Moore. Though in the case of Mueller it could be more accurately described an Inaction figure.
The pitch to sell these, shall it be said, is a bit forced.

There can be other attributes to sell this one. The lack of communication, the implied usefulness absent proof, the small hole from whence leaks can emminate.
Is it a bobblehead? https://t.co/o1Coq4Qd1c

Does it take 4 years to arrive?

Another good one!
Will it have a pull string that makes him say "Russia did it!" and come with an empty box labeled 'Proof Russia did it'??

Those are extra.

How many roses will #TheResistance send to Mueller to congratulate him? And how many will they send to each action figure? #VerySeriousPeople https://t.co/YlJnXY1LUO

That is what is at play here. Anyone who postures in any fashion as a resistence fighter – Michael Wolff, Avenatti, Stormy — becomes lionized by the organized left.
This is a perfect example to demonstrate the economy is strong.
Thank you President @realDonaldTrump
Why else would anyone throw money away on such an idea? #MoneyToBurn #MAGA #BuildTheWall— Charlton (@charlton_ar) January 15, 2019
That IS another way of looking at an item of this nature.
Robert Mueller has officially declined to comment on the news of being turned into an action figure. Pretty sure that means the cat’s out of the bag! https://t.co/5rLHMOGTrv pic.twitter.com/OxkFqAPTZc

Really now?! The man who consistently fails to deliver any substantive content has failed to deliver a substantive statement?
Of course, not everyone is enamored.
