>>The Russians did not get Trump elected of your country though did they? The 'boogeyman' exists here.

JR's "Lets Think for Ourselves" exercise of the day:

1) What, precisely, did the boogeymen do to get Trump elected? Be specific- no sweeping generalizations, no "if you can't see the WMD I mean Russians under your nose you're an idiot and I'm not going to waste my time."

2) How, precisely, is what they did different from an unflattering blimp of Trump floated by foreign activists in campaign season? Apart from the fact that Russians fits the narrative spun by the DNC and Hillary Campaign when they conspired with Russians and other foreigners to accuse Trump of conspiring with Russians.

>>How has Trump placed us well for the upcoming robotic revolution?

By bringing jobs home in advance of sweeping replacement of factories by automation. If the US leads robotics and has repatriated industry, that's as important as the earlier quest to get a man on the moon, except with a different ideological/temporal opponent. In fairness, it may happen by default: if costs are similar wherever the robots are sited, that eliminates the advantages from low-wage subsidized industry elsewhere and now transport becomes a much more important driver of cost... the closer the robot is to its target consumer, the better.

>>As for Trump's legal problems -- he has to worry about Donald McGahn testifying and for those of us that have read the Muller report ..mmm...that will be quite bad for Trump. In regards to his tax returns I have no doubt that this will lead to more legal issues for him -- that much is obvious based on sword testimony we have already heard.

So you're carrying on without apology or insight after years of identical "any moment now" predictions of Mueller's report?

Exercise 2 of the day:

1) If Mueller says there was no conspiracy with foreigners by Trump's campaign: what crime, exactly, was obstructed? Unless you think obstructing the DNC/Hillary Campaign's deception was a crime?

2) If the narrative is that if not for McGahn Mueller coulda-woulda been fired: what an own goal that would be, denying Trump the "no conspiracy" finding after Mueller was allowed to complete to his own satisfaction. Firing would have allowed conspiracy theorists to swear forever that Trump did it because he was guilty; instead the attackers are left grasping at process crime straws to justify 2 years of vicious prejudice.

>> Biggest blunder Trump made with McGahn was letting him talk to Muller and not doing the ol' executive privilege bit.

Make up your mind- did Trump try to obstruct or was he foolishly cooperative, a mistake your sort of candidate never would have made as they deleted emails and hammered phones, right? Both of which are contempt of subpoena and 24-carat obstruction, btw.

>> Now that this has happened, Trump is not going to be able to block him from testifying before congress lol lol. Sure Trump is trying to block it -- but it will fail - all it will do is buy a little time lol.

lol lol and it's be another "we embarrassed him, yay" while Joe Voter asks what about jobs and you've been calling him dishonest for 3 years and now want us to screech in horror that he and a lawyer disagree on whether or how Trump wanted to fire somebody who wasn't fired in the end: sorry dude, too busy with real life to get caught up in that bubble of yours..

Exercise 3 of the day: imagine if any businessman's confidential advisors were brought before legislature or special investigator, forced to reveal that the businessman wanted to do illegal stuff that the advisor said not to and then threatened to resign if they went ahead. So the businessman didn't do it, but now people say s/he was a criminal for raising it with their confidential advisor. That would end business opportunity for most honest lawyers and accountants as well as for many law-abiding businesspeople who ever discussed ways to reduce tax or enlarge a building against code. Only the shady deceivers and liars would thrive. So another own goal. I suppose priests would be next if you're determined to dig and dig to find something...
