No Collusion!

The President and his cronies, on HUNDREDS of occasions, have said that there was NO COLLUSION!  Why do they continue to drive that narrative, and why do they continue to use that specific word to drive it?

The truth is they know that specific word isn't in the law as being an illegal act (other than in Anti-Trust cases), but if you look at the definition of that specific word, and dig just under the surface of the ridiculousness we are hearing out of Washington on a daily basis, it can become very eye opening. 

COLLUSION - Secret agreement or conspiracy especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose.

Trump and his cronies have been throwing the "No Collusion!" catch phrase around now for a long time, but it has ramped up in recent months as the ongoing investigations surrounding Trump's former Campaign Manager and Lawyer have both presented the possibility of incriminating evidence against Trump. 

After the recent Cohen Tapes came to the forefront and after Cohen stated through his lawyers that he is willing to acknowledge that Trump knew about the infamous Trump Tower Meeting with the Russians and signed off on it before it happened, Trump has sent Giuliani on a rampage in the media to send a new message, and Trump has also went to Twitter to do what he considers to be diversionary damage control with his base. 

The new message isn't, "There was no collusion!"  The new message is, "There was no collusion, but if there was it wouldn't be illegal."

The simple fact is that Collusion can be illegal.  You see, Conspiracy is a crime, and depending upon the situation, some acts of Collusion amount to conspiracy under the law.  Notice you don't hear Trump or his lawyers spouting off on a regular basis, "There was no Conspiracy!"  They don't because they know Conspiracy is illegal.

Conspiracy is illegal when more than one person or entity works together to commit a crime or to defraud the United States Government.  Conspiracy to defraud the United States Government involves the use of deceit to prevent a government agency from doing its job. 

There have already been indictments for conspiracy, many of which at this point are aimed at the Russian Hackers who tried to prevent the Federal Election Commission from doing its job properly.

The President is running a constant damage control campaign before anything that could possibly come out against him gets out.  That way he controls the court of public opinion to the best of his ability.  This is why Trump continuously denigrates the press and anyone who speaks the truth about things he has said and done.  The more he denigrates, the more people start to believe that he is the victim and not the perpetrator. 

Don't let the President fool any of you.  He is lying through his teeth every time he opens his mouth.  as of day 528 of his presidency, he had already been logged as providing 4,229 lies and mistruths to the American Public since taking office.  That is an astounding number, averaging around 8 lies per day throughout his first year-and-a-half. 

The entire reason for this blog today is to inform you all that you need to look below the surface when it comes to Trump, because everything he says and does right now is calculated and has an alternative motive than what it seems.  He is backed into a corner and trying on a daily basis to set up a case, denigrate people and institutions like the justice department, and provide alternative facts that will paint him a victim who is simply being bullied and picked on. 

That wasn't, isn't, and will never be the case.  Trump is a deceiver, he lies, and he misinterprets the truth to make himself look better than he is. 

It is to the point that it makes me want to throw up in my own mouth every time he opens his and speaks.

Trump and the DOJ Trying to Silence Mueller...

Mueller is set to sit in front of Congress on Wednesday this week and answer questions regarding the Mueller Investigation.  The DOJ, and organization that is supposed to look out for the best interests of America but has recently decided to become Trump's personal Law Firm, has sent correspondence to Mueller about what he can and cannot answer. For instance, you have the question of the 10 documented cases of obstruction in volume 2 of the report.  Mueller made it clear that he was bound by DOJ policy and could not indict a sitting president.  One very important question the Congressional Leadership will likely ask is, "If Donald Trump wasn't the sitting President, would you have indicted him based on the amount of evidence in the report?"  That question in every respect is fair.  You are asking the head of an investigation if they would have indicted someone had an arbitrary roadblock not been in place.  I say arbitrary roadblock because the policy is...

Let's talk about kids

So here we are, waiting patiently and watching what the government is doing to reunite children with their parents who have been separated at the border.  The government said all it would take was a few key strokes and they could immediately identify which children were where and get them reunited.  Interesting comment considering that we are now past the court mandated timeframe within which the government was mandated by the court to reunite the 102 children under the age of 5 with their parents.  They had a month to do it, and only managed to reunite around 54 children by the deadline.  They have resorted to taking DNA samples from children and parents to try to match them up in a database because the process they used to separate these children from their parents didn't take into consideration the reunification process, so in most cases they have no idea which children match up to which parents. Instead of the President taking a more compassionate approach to...

Technology, the Double Edged Sword

Technology is an amazing thing isn't it?  Look at the evolution of the computer.  Below I am providing a history of the evolution of the computer.  It is not all-inclusive, but does document some very important moments in history starting in 1801 and ending in 2017.  If you aren't a huge reader, you can jump past the history lesson to the remainder of my blog below, but it is very interesting and I recommend you read through it.  In France in 1801, Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a loom that used punched wooden cards to automatically weave fabric designs.  Early computers would use similar punch cards. In 1822, an English Mathematician named Charles Babbage conceived of a steam-driven calculating machine that would be able to compute tables of numbers.  The project was funded by the English government and was a failure.  More than a century later, however, the first computer was actually built in the world. In 1890, Herman Hollerith designed ...
