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!

what people get wrong about tariffs

 The issue is simple. What percentage of the economy is dependent on tariff goods? The truth, is that the US economy is far more closed than people understand. People genuinely believe that all manufacturing has ceased to exist in the United States all given to China on the altar of woke policy the truth can be further from That statement. Only about 15% of US GDP is related to foreign trade. Of that amount, slightly more than half is from Canada in Mexico. And half of that is energy. What that means, is that about 7% of US GDP is tariff dependent. The proof in the pudding, is how little money tariff generates. People think that 30 or 50 billion is a lot it’s not in an economy that has $3 trillion. The impact on the US economy will be less visible but not absent. Inflation hasn’t occurred yet first because tests have hardly started to bite, but more importantly it’s such a small percent of the economy. Now certain things are critical. The rare earth metals from China were critical....

Trump and Venezuela...

The US now owns Venezuela…and not in a good way.  America is not known for its nation building skills, and yet it now owns the disaster that is Venezuela.   Starvation and exodus are the natural progression.   In addition it will become a haven for narco-terrorists, more so than it already was. I am sure that Trump and his friends really thought that little attack very well…I guess that he will now attack Iran now.

Demographics

 I am preparing a kind of family tree for our children so that they know where they came from.  In my family I am the only survivor, although my brother and sister died recently they were both in their seventies (a story I told already).    It was a fun process, but it provided more than that.  First, I married relatively young I was 26 when I married and nearly 30 when our first child was born.   I was looking at my ancestors.  On my mother's side, she had 6 siblings, Four died before the age of 30, two in war, and two from illnesses.  Only she and a single sister survived.   The two boys had a child each but they died in WWII, and the other sister died as an infant.   what is interesting is that every one of my mother's siblings had children in their early 20s.   I know that my mom was hardly 20 when my brother was born.    What is remarkable is that among our friends, we are the only ones to have fou...
