I think I expected something from the Mueller report, that Jr or another name we know was actively working with Russians but that POTUS was not personally involved. I expected a lot of allusion to collusion that couldn't be proven in order to justify the counsel, and maybe we'll get that as the redacted report is published later.

I'm relieved to hear that the campaign wasn't (at least to the knowledge of the 2 year investigation) engaged in conspiracy with the Russians in their email phishing that is called "hacking of the election."

A few things I'll wonder about tomorrow :

1. Well anyone change their mind about Trump because of this?
2. Did the Russians win by the constant push by the dems or main (left) media (though I repeat myself), to distrust the election process?
3. Does this justify any of Trump's Fake News and Enemy of the People talk about the media who communicated as if their conspiracy theory about Trump /Russia was proven and concluded?
4. Will this change anyone's perception of the press?
5. Are here a lot of people out there truly disappointed that there is not conclusion of collision, that wish, really wish that Trump had engaged in this conspiracy to fit their narrative?
6. Could there really be stuff that this investigation missed that the other investigations from the far left will uncover?

My sad initial guess is that most are too locked within their echo chambers for anything to change their perspective, and nothing will change much.

But it's getting late and there's tea and backgammon beckoning. No more thinking about politics tonight.

@peterdrake One major problem is that no one has asked the people. The Left will continue to destroy the checks and balances of the system in any way (and only on ways) that they believe will fix the entire system to give them more power.

The US was not founded to run by majority rule. There were reasons that don't disappear because "more people preferred a different one."

But on this subject about what the majority prefer, the leftists seem to not care what the people prefer, as we're not able to vote on the issue. It's decided on by a small number of dems in lockstep in secret and behind closed doors (at least as I understand how the governor of Boulder signed the bill into law here in Colorado).

So whatever this is, it's not about the will of the people, or they'd let the people vote on it.

If the dems could get a system where really only the counties around LA, Chicago, and New York mattered, of course they'd go for it. I don't think this goes any deeper than that. I think it's just a power grab by dismantling one of our checks and balances so it's imbalanced in their favor.

@peterdrake I'm pretty sure it's about If you can't win, change the rules.

@DaDenMan agreed. Seeing this domestically as so many people are fleeing California to Colorado, Texas, likely other places, then push to make their new home just like the one they fled.

@peterdrake at least we can find common ground in recognizing that this is about states giving up their voices.

@peterdrake A sad day indeed when Colorado cedes it's electoral college votes to California.

Our power was out for more than 12 hours with the blizzard that hit Denver metro yesterday. Glad our home has a wood burning fireplace because it's old enough to be grandfathered into the regulations that ban them.

I feel for those in newer homes where the only means of heat in a situation like this are outlawed.

Q: What did socialists use to light their homes before candles?

A: Electricity!

Employee income stays the same as whole foods raises to $15/hour pay and slashes hours while requiring the same amount of work done in fewer hours.

So employees get paid the same for contributing the same value. They just have to do so faster now.

How is the same pay now a "livable wage"? It's almost like those demanding arbitrary raises to arbitrary dollar amounts per hour don't understand how this works.

“... the overall store budget thus remained about the same despite the wage increase.

The employee also said that workers were directed to complete tasks faster to stay in line with their new hours"

Lack of backstory, character development, contribution to the greater MCU, any love interest....or for that matter any relationship of consequence, etc. Just lacking most of what makes any story a good story.

But there was girl power to substitute for all of that. So a female with no great back story, character development, etc.

Looking forward to the real captain marvel story, which is DC's Shazam, with Zachary Levi.
