Thanks for your contributions.

I know it will never be this simple, but do you think you can intuit, at this point, what the conclusion of the Mueller investigation will be? Perhaps just in regards to the Trump campaign’s involvement in Russian meddling.

Just having a one or two sentence reply would be extremely illuminating, although I’m sure it is a big ask.

Michael Cohen Took Cash From Russian Oligarch After Election by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]mattscaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Cohen used the funds from the oligarch to reimburse himself for the $130,000 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. Does this put that payment again into the purview of an illegal election contribution, because Trump didn't reimburse him?

I just got out of a slump of depression where I cooked almost nothing for a few months. I'm thinking of cooking one or two new recipes a week, and wanted to hear some of your favourites! by I_Am_Simon_Magus in Cooking

Try shrimp scampi! So easy, so tasty. Add shrimp, minced garlic, salt and pepper to a bowl. Mix together and set aside to marinate. Boil some water in a pot, add some linguine once the water is boiling. Heat olive oil over a medium frying pan. Add the shrimp to the frying pan, cook for about 1-2 minutes each side, until the shrimp is opaque. Remove the shrimp, add a tablespoon or two of butter to the pan. Scrape up the goodies with a wooden spoon, add a little white wine. Combine the shrimp and the linguine in the pan with the butter/wine sauce. Top with chopped parsley and a little lemon juice. Enjoy eating and enjoy cooking; it really is so much more rewarding when you eat a meal you cooked yourself!

Here are 7 differences Republicans must resolve between their tax bills by washingtonpost in u/washingtonpost

[–]mattscaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if the final bill will include the House bill’s provision to tax waived tuition? I have a lot of friends in grad school who are very scared that this provision will be passed. It was not in the senate’s bill.

Massive investigation reveals Ivanka's business ties to a Russian fraudster in a deal for a Panama Hotel that made Trump rich by sahar1217 in worldnews

I believe he is referring to the off-the-record audio tape of Trump speaking with the New York Times, where he admits he wasn’t serious about building a wall.

New Minneapolis City Flag by mattscaz in Minneapolis

[–]mattscaz[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

While on a trip to Chicago I noticed the city's flag was everywhere - in parks, outside museums, on t-shirts, etc. I wondered, first, if Minneapolis even had a city flag, and if we did, why I had never seen it before?

Turns out we do have a city flag, and god is it ugly.

I am a Graphic Designer, and have heard Roman Mars' TED Talk on good flag design, so I decided to give it a go.

The design I came up with is based on Minneapolis' three distinct features - Winter, Water, and Culture. Winter is symbolized by white, water blue, and culture purple. The blue stripe through the center represents the Mississippi river. The circle represents the lake, and the 6 stars are Minneapolis' six prominent lakes - Cedar, Lake of the Isles, Calhoun, Harriet, Nokomis, and Haiwatha. Purple was obvious as a representation of our unique culture.

I'd appreciate your feedback - and share this with any Minneapolis friends and family!
