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.

Proponents of the #NationalPopularVote fail to understand the most basic facts about the American presidential electoral system. The principal flaw in the plan is its assumption there will still be only two major parties competing for the presidency in 2020.

In the end, I think we'll just find that Russia played us and the campaigns to seed chaos That's been my take, we got played Nothing but smoke and mirrors by Russia to make it look like something was going on that wasn't
Sure, people are in jail Only for unrelated crimes

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"

A weekend project is still a weekend project no matter how much time has passed between the start and end weekend...right?

Frosted conifers earlier this week. It was uncharacteristically foggy and (characteristically) freezing. Not sure if freezing fog is responsible for the cool way the snow formed or if it was just coincidence.

And we've come full political circle

RT @joelpollak

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who rigged the Democratic Party primary so only Hillary Clinton could win, and was forced to resign because of it, is questioning Michael Cohen, who is going to federal prison for lying, about whether Trump rigged the election. You can't make this up! 🤣
