Dirty Politics in Virginia, Part 4 - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " Virginia Lt. Gov. Fairfax retains lawyers used by Kavanaugh; accuser hires Christine Ford's ex-attorneys "

Lets Get Real:

In normal circumstances this would help the female candidates who are running for the 2020 Democratic Nomination, but it does not, Warren is a laughing stock after her claim that she was a Native American, while Harris wants to take away the private medical insurance of Americans.   Also Warren wants to tax the rich in till the bleed, while Harris is on a sorry spin for her time as a Special Prosecutor.   The OTHER female candidates as of this time are famous in their own houses, just.   As for Senator Booker he does not have the Obama charisma, he is no JFK, Bill Clinton or as stated Barack Obama.   Thus it is being reported that former VP Biden might enter the race, a recent poll showed a majority of Americans want this, but then Biden also has his problems, he supported tough criminal laws in the 80s and 90s, as with Harris he has said he is sorry.   Also he will have to carry the Obama record, the good and the bad.   This is not the first time Biden might run, he has run before and LOST, also he has a foot in mouth problem.   At present the Democratic candidates for President do NOT IMPRESS, it might be time for a THIRD PARTY for US politics. 

May MEETING with the EU - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " Will the EU wipe the smile off Theresa’s face? May to insist UK is not 'trapped' by Irish backstop as she heads to Brussels today... but with leaders set to rebuff her, the vote on her deal 'is put off until the end of the month' "

Lets Get Real:

PM May has to be TOUGH with the EU, she has to get what she wants, a modification of the backstop or she walks away.  The PM should show the EU that she means it by sending the House of Commons in to recess and use the Royal Prerogative to get the UK ready for a HARD BREXIT.   The UK managed to get through WW1, WW2, the Spanish Flu, the Cold War, we can get through a few trucks having to take their time at the PORTS.   The EU should be told that they will not get their 39 billion, they can take us to COURT, at whatever the result they still wont get the money.   The HARD REMAINERS will try to thwart Brexit, the Government must keep control of the process.  The meeting today will be VERY INTERESTING. 

Better in HELL than in the EU! - Brexit Update 1- Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports " Donald Tusk's 'hell' jibe risks turning Britain towards a no-deal Brexit..Donald Tusk may be exasperated, but he'd do well not to provide Brexiteers who'd walk away without a deal with more ammunition.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is why the UK voter voted to leave the EU.   The EU at its most basic is saying that Leave voters are going to HELL.  Well if that is the case the UK Government can spend the 39 billion it was going to give to the EU to the NHS and also TAX CUTS.   The EU was never that popular in the UK, the EU might under the impression of Tony Blair that if they wait and play hardball then the UK will change its mind or go for a SOFT BREXIT.   Europeans have never understood the UK, there have been reports that the Germans want a EXIT for all parties, one hopes that Berlin reminds the EU who funds them most, and it's not the French.  The meeting between the PM and the EU should be interesting, the EU have to give something or the UK is heading for a HARD BREXIT. 

Dirty Politics of Virginia, Part 3 - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring has acknowledged wearing "brown makeup" to a party, days after the state governor admitting wearing blackface.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog does not normally sorry for Democrats, but with the case of the Virginia Governor, the Lt. Governor and now the Attorney General one has to feel that the voters have been defrauded by the Democratic Establishment.  As stated in this blog Governor Northam's record should have been checked, even more so by the Republicans, with Lt. Governor the Party should have had defence strategy in place in case the information came out, as to the Attorney General who has called for the Governor to quiet he comes across as a hypocrite of the FIRST ORDER.   It should be noted that the first two both deny the allegations, the Governor at first stated that he was in a picture that has some who had blackened up and another person in the outfit of the KKK.   The next day he stated that he was not in the picture, but had done an impression of a singer in a singing contest, he had blackened his face.   As for the Lt. Governor he has denied the allegation of sexual assault, and has hired lawyers to deal with the case.   The political context is simple, there are elections in Virginia, and the Democrats had a good chance of taking both Chambers, one has to ask will the African - American vote still go for the Democrats with these scandals.   Then we come to 2020, if the above stay in OFFICE, what will the Democratic candidates do, skip Virginia, go there but not have the main OFFICE HOLDERS by their side.  If one did not know better one would think that POTUS was paying Democratic pols to screw up the election for the Democrats.
