Trump is not a traitor -- So why did he praise Putin so much?

The Mueller report was given to the Justice Department on Friday, and aside from those in trouble right now -- and going to jail there is little new "bad news" for Trump.   It turns out that there appears to be insufficient evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russians.  It doesn't mean that the Russians didn't try to influence the American vote towards Trump, just that Trump didn't seek this support he just got it...because as far as the Russians were concerned he was the better candidate (for them).

So why was Trump so pro Putin in virtually any environment?  That too came out during the Mueller investigation; commerce seems to be at the source of his support for Putin.  It seems that for personal reason Trump views his relationship with Putin as very important, Trump confused the interest of America with the interest of Trump.  Not entirely surprising from such a narcists, but this doesn't equate to TREASON!!!

Some were saying (like the Guardian's Greenwald) that there was no real evidence of collusion, rather meetings were attended and information was given to the Trump organization that was used to damage Clinton's campaign, but the FBI's late investigation probably did more harm than anything the Russians could have cooked-up and that was done by 100% domestic players (who may have had their own agenda too).

The largest impact is on Pelosi (the fact that she downplayed the impeachment "card" for the last few months) and some of the centrist candidates for the Democratic nomination.  All this hurts the press (actually both side talked complete BS during the entire investigation), with their crazy allegations.  It also killed off Biden's presidential ambitions (he's the candidate of the past).  The facts are not as bad for the press than some of the commentators would make believe -- there were some seriously bad people involved in Trump's campaign and they will/are paying a heavy price. 

But seriously, how could Trump be involved in anything like a conspiracy, he doesn't have the patience or the bandwidth to do such a thing.   Late into the election cycle Mueller has shown that Trump was working very hard on building his Trump tower project in Moscow -- it would have been a huge payday for him...that reasoning for being pro-Putin does make a lot of sense!

Ok so I lied...a little (revised)

When we began looking at farming in 2013/14 as something we both wanted to do as a "second career" we invested time and money to understand what sector of farming was profitable.  A few things emerged, First, high-quality, source-proven, organic farm products consistently have much higher profit margins.  Secondly, transformation accounted for nearly 80% of total profits, and production and distribution accounted for 20% of profits: Farmers and retailers have low profit margins and the middle bits make all the money. A profitable farm operation needs to be involved in the transformation of its produce.  The low-hanging fruits: cheese and butter.  Milk, generates a profit margin of 5% to 8%, depending on milk quality.  Transformed into cheese and butter, and the profit margin rises to 40% (Taking into account all costs).  Second:  20% of a steer carcass is ground beef quality.  The price is low, because (a) a high percentage of the carcass, and (b) ground beef requires process

21st century milk parlour

When we first looked at building our farm in 2018, we made a few money-saving decisions, the most important is that we purchased our milk herd from a retiring farmer and we also purchased his milking parlour equipment.  It was the right decision at the time.  The equipment dates from around 2004/05 and was perfectly serviceable, our installers replaced some tubing but otherwise, the milking parlour was in good shape.  It is a mature technology. Now, we are building a brand new milk parlour because our milking cows are moving from the old farm to the new farm.  So we are looking at brand new equipment this time because, after 20 years of daily service, the old cattle parlour's systems need to be replaced.  Fear not it will not be destroyed instead good chunks will end up on Facebook's marketplace and be sold to other farmers for spare parts or expansion of their current systems. All our cattle are chipped, nothing unusual there, we have sensors throughout the farm, and our milki

So we sold surplus electricity one time last summer...(Update)

I guess that we will be buying an additional tank for our methane after all.   Over the past few months, we've had several electricity utilities/distributors which operate in our region come to the farm to "inspect our power plant facilities, to ensure they conform to their requirements".  This is entirely my fault.  Last summer we were accumulating too much methane for our tankage capacity, and so instead of selling the excess gas, that would have cost us some money, we (and I mean me) decided to produce excess electricity and sell it to the grid.  Because of all the rules and regulations, we had to specify our overall capacity and timing for the sale of electricity (our capacity is almost 200 Kw) which is a lot but more importantly, it's available 24/7, because it's gas powered.  It should be noted that the two generators are large because we burn methane and smaller generators are difficult to adapt to burn unconventional gas, plus they are advanced and can &qu
