Most people who have read the Mueller report have reached a different conclusion, including Robert Mueller.

Fascist Burger King goes after the UK's Tommy Robinson like their hamberders attack my colon
Ramones "I'm Against It": I don't like playing ping pong I don't like the Viet Cong I don't like Burger King I don't like anything
What's happened to Justin Amash is simple: He'll be off the political stage in 2021 so he has nothing left to lose
Democrats are about to redistrict him out of a job, he's isolated himself in his own party over five terms, Trump's tariffs threaten the family's Chinese tool business fortune, and his best friends are the likes of WaPo's Jennifer Rubin and union president Randi Weingarten. Might as well go all in against Trump and help deprive him of a win in Michigan while losing re-election to MI-03 or as the inglorious Libertarian Party candidate for president in 2020. It's what libertarians are best at and live to do: spoil elections. Or, just switch to the Democrat Party and go on living like Arlen Specter. Republicans could hasten things along by kicking him out of the party.

People keep repeating the myth of "no immigration from the 1920s-1960s" because Rush Limbaugh spread it in 2014
Every time I tell people that there was no immigration in this country for over 40 years, from the 1920s to the 1960s, seventies, they’re shocked. You’d be amazed at the number of people that do not know we totally closed the borders after the wave of European immigration in the 1920s. And we did it for one reason. That mass arrival of immigrants needed to be assimilated.
The truth is between 1920 and 1965 inclusive we let in 10.1 million, 4.5 million of which came in between 1920 and 1930. It was the Great Depression and World War II which brought immigration down to a trickle. There were no jobs for the people already here in the 1930s for cying out loud, and we didn't want any Nazty Spies comin' in in 1940 either.
You can examine the data for yourself here:
Egads, the new Human Events has chosen the wrong side (the side of the Redcoats, not of colonial Bostonians)
A block away from the former Capitol Hill headquarters of Breitbart News — known in Washington as the “Breitbart embassy” — sits a second-floor apartment its occupant calls “the Consulate.”
Here, surrounded by memorabilia of the British empire, two right-wing entrepreneurs — a protege of Steve Bannon’s and a social media activist — are rebooting a dilapidated conservative publication from around a dining room table. ...
[T]he duo are positioning it as an alternative to what they derisively call “Conservative Inc.” ...
Human Events aims up-market and has been imbued with Kassam’s vaguely royalist sense of Anglo-American identity. ...
The ‘Consulate’ also features a map showing the British empire at its largest extent and a red hat that says “Make America Great Britain Again.”
Over the dining room table where the duo works looms a framed print of the Boston Massacre, prominently featuring the shooting of Crispus Attucks, considered the first black man to die in the American Revolution. But Kassam has not stuck it there as a celebration of American liberty. Instead, he said, he forces his American dinner guests to sit facing the print to shame them with the memory of the massacre, which he blames on the mobbish antics of colonial Bostonians, while praising the discipline of the Red Coats who fired upon them. ...
[T]his pronounced Anglophilia was not a feature of the original Human Events . . ..

Yang Gang hates on math as Boomer math because math shows Universal Basic Income is a BFD, not "nothing"
Total cost of federal regulations in 2012 was $2.028 trillion (in 2014 dollars), according to the National Association of Manufacturers.
Federal departmental spending in 2014 was about $1.654 trillion ($3.777 trillion in total outlays minus outlays for Social Security, Medicare and Interest on the debt).
Total = $3.682 trillion for "hundreds of agencies, departments and laws".
Eliminate all that (a GARGANTUAN and variously highly INADVISABLE proposition, you know, like NO defense spending, NO environmental regulation spending, NO food and drug inspection spending, etc.), and you could easily give every man and woman 18 and over in 2014 $2.868 trillion, with money left over: Universal Basic Income of $12,000 a year to 2014's 239.049 million people 18 and over (on average) = $2.868 trillion under Andrew Yang's plan.
Ray Dallio's estimate of $3.8 trillion must include all the kids, too (319 million US population in 2014 x $12,000).
Or are we just going to add the $2.868 trillion to the outlays of $3.777 trillion?
Either way, ain't gonna happen, because this ain't "nothing".
Pie in the sky, bye . . . and bye, commie.
Aristotle thought man was uniquely a political animal, Richard Spencer thinks man is merely an animal
And, of course, Richard Spencer is a very intelligent imbecile.
No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every man
is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine;
if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe
is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as
well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine
owne were; any mans death diminishes me,
because I am involved in Mankinde;
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
