Trump & Mueller Report

It is good news that we are told the President did not provably cooperate with an enemy government in seeking election.

The right's Deep State "witch hunt" of Trump and the left's "Mueller as Savior" collusion scenarios are both equally distasteful beliefs in conspiracies that match their holder's fears/desires.

The investigation wasn't a "witch hunt". It found widespread Russian meddling in the election, and widespread contacts between Trump's people and Russian influenced contacts. There was every reason to investigate.

Mueller had a single charter: Trump's campaign collusion with Russia on election tampering. Mueller's report on Trump's documented obstruction concluded he could not exonerate Trump himself. Why? And there are a dozen continuing investigations handed off to other agencies for irregularities outside Mueller's charter.

We should expect more from a President than merely being able to limit his involvement to just a reasonable doubt in colluding with a foreign government.

It is wrong to meet with Russian agents to try to obtain kompromat on your political opponent. It is wrong to encourage Russian intelligence agents to steal data from your political opponent. It is wrong to direct your lawyer to lie to Congress. It is wrong to payoff mistresses to further your candidacy. It is wrong to commit criminal campaign finance violations. It is wrong to hire foreign agents to run your campaign without proper vetting. It is wrong to attempt to obstruct the DOJ from its investigations. It is wrong to bypass security clearance failures to hire your son-in-law to a position of power.

And this list doesn't include following the money into Trump Inc. barely legal slimy business dealings which continue to this day, including monetizing the presidency by touting his properties and engaging in pay to play with the members and clientele of his clubs and hotels.

Trump’s defense budget: bloated, illegal, and doomed.

Another line has been crossed: In the last several years, defense spending has nearly equaled the discretionary budgets for all programs other than defense combined. In this budget, it finally surpasses them.

Neither the Republican Senate nor the Democratic House are likely to let slide a budget that gives defense $750 billion—a 5 percent increase over last year and more than the military chiefs requested—while cutting Medicare by $850 billion, especially since the cut would be enacted in 2020, an election year.

How to transfer photos from your iPhone to a computer
Business Insider

You can transfer photos from your iPhone to a Mac or PC computer by connecting the phone to your computer's Photos app. Here are the corresponding steps for each process. If you have an iPhone - particularly any recent model of the phone - you also have a professional-quality camera that can catch great pics wherever you are. But storage for photos is limited on any device (unless you put everything in the cloud), so you may need to offload those great pics from time to time. Here's how to Read the full story

Shannon Waves | Mapping Dubliners Project

http://mappingdubliners.org/shannon-waves/

Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead"

A Major-League Divorce | Vanity Fair

By showing the business had operating losses, the McCourts paid no federal or state income taxes on that $108 million, causing outrage in L.A. when reported by Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times: "To everyone who claims that our wealthiest citizens pay more than their fair share of income taxes and we should cut them a break because they're the ones who … create jobs in our economy, I have four words for you: Frank and Jamie McCourt." (Frank disputes the $108 million figure and says the taxes were deferred.

"Do you really, honestly believe millionaires—billionaires—go to Las Vegas, Monaco, Ibiza, Playa Mujeres for strategy breakout sessions followed by a bit of high-stakes poker? No. Certain—appetites—can only be satisfied by well-trained, well-paid, beautiful women and young men who exceed most any sexual fantasy.""
