The 2nd Impeachment Trial of former President Trump - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Donald Trump parts with lawyers a week before impeachment trial....The exit of the two senior lawyers causes uncertainty as the Trump camp prepares for a trial starting on 9 February. "

Lets Get Real:

Everything in D.C is political, only 5 Republicans approved of the Trial going on in the first vote on the issue, the Democrats need 17 Republicans to go off the reservation for the impeachment trial to lead to conviction.  Thus the TRIAL is a farce that takes up valuable Biden time to get his Agenda through the US Congress, it an be expected that Trump will make the Trial as messy as he can, and force the Republican in the Senate to justify their votes to their voters.  Thus expected the usual arguments from Trump, that the election was stolen, that D.C swamp is fighting back.  Also it will be a stage for Trump to be critical of Biden, he wont be able to help himself when it comes to the stage, he is an old ham. Politics is politics and does not change that much, also Biden will want to make sure that he does not sink himself before the 2022 Mid terms. 

The Conservative Media and Biden - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " In some ways, this is the natural cycle of politics. Power changes hands and the other side - the politicians, the media, the voters - switch roles from cheerleaders to complainers. But might this year be different? "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden week has been quiet compared to Trump, and the World is grateful, no endless tweets, non truths been used as truths, on the other hand, the Biden Oval has been accused of using Executive Orders as if they are going out of fashion, the success or not of a President, always comes down to what he or she can get passed by the US Congress, the Democrats have nominal control of the House by 4 votes and 1 vote in the US Senate with the tie breaking vote of the VP.  Biden is an old hand of the US Senate, he does not want to pass a massive liberal spending bill with no Republicans, that would make Democrats a election target in the 2022 Mid Terms, if he has cover with Republican votes then he can share the blame if it does not work.  On foreign policy front the new Secretary of State sounded tough on Iran, but this is cover, Biden has made it clear that he will appease IRAN, it depends how much leg Tehran has to show before Biden returns to the bad deal under Obama.   This blog has always argued you can be liberal or conservative on domestic policy but you have to be tough on Foreign policy, Trump was a DOVE, he stated as did his VP that they were the first Administration in 20 years not to start a War in the Middle East, in that the Democrats miss read Trump in a big way.   But also Trump miss read the American people, the US voter likes what POTUS shows a big stick and reminds the World who in the eagle when it comes to the games of the Great Powers. 

The EU playing games over the vaccine - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports " COVID-19: EU 'should consider' legal action and blocking exports over AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine row...The European Council president made the comments in a letter to EU leaders as the bloc is involved in a deepening row. "

Lets Get Real:

It wont be the UK leaving the EU that will bring the EU down, its power plays like this, the EU took to long to order the vaccine, its to full of diplomats who have nothing to do but check what everyone else has done.  Should the EU try to threaten our supplies of the vaccine, we should make it CLEAR, that any extra supplies that the UK does not need will go the OLD Commonwealth for FREE, as a sign of good will for future trade deals.  The EU needs to reform, its structure is out dates, and it is only time before another large Country leaves, if France was to leave then it would break up, even the Germans could not keep it together. 

Biden on Russia: The White House has published a readout of the telephone talks between President Biden and President Putin of Russia, " President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. They discussed both countries’ willingness to extend New START for five years, agreeing to have their teams work urgently to complete the extension by February 5. They also agreed to explore strategic stability discussions on a range of arms control and emerging security issues. President Biden reaffirmed the United States’ firm support for Ukraine’s sovereignty. He also raised other matters of concern, including the SolarWinds hack, reports of Russia placing bounties on United States soldiers in Afghanistan, interference in the 2020 United States election, and the poisoning of Aleksey Navalny. President Biden made clear that the United States will act firmly in defense of its national interests in response to actions by Russia that harm us or our allies. The two presidents agreed to maintain transparent and consistent communication going forward. "

Lets Get Real:

So the Democrats will be tough on Russia, in what way, are they going to defend the Eastern part of the Ukraine from Russia action, thus far NOTHING.   Are they going to bring Moscow to a standstill with its own cyber attack, not a good idea, the Russian systems are OLD, one would think, one does not want to start WW3 by accident, you hack something innocent, and it turns out to be the Russian nuclear codes, one never knows with the Russian bear. The readout states that Biden wants to extend the New Start Treaty, that benefits Russia and China, In other words Biden wants to return the Obama Era, when next is the appeasing of Iran, just a matter of time, tough words on the campaign trail are one thing, when in OFFICE, reality hits in.  Trump bent over backwards to PLEASE Putin, thus no difference from Biden. 

Biden and Abortion - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " US President Joe Biden has reversed a ban on federal funds going to international aid groups that perform or inform about abortions. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has long supported abortions as a right of every woman, when the Democrats start to demagogue the issue in other Countries or non government groups, this blog feels very uneasy, it is not for the resident of the Oval Office, Republican or Democrats to rant to other Countries about their abortion rights.  Also let's not forgot the fact that Biden is a catholic, this ruling will not go down well the Vatican.  Also the move is supported by Speaker Pelosi, a Democrat who will demagogue the issue to death, if it gets one more vote for the Democrats.   It seems that the left has taken over the US Government, while the right has taken over the Republican Party.  This blog misses the Reagan years, and he started the banning on oversees abortion, he did it with style and the election clock. 

The Impeachment Trial of former President Donald Trump - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump will begin next month after an agreement reached between Senate Democrats and Republicans. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog would not be surprised  if the Trumpster turned up for his TRIAL, there is no need for him to attended by the rules of impeachment, but the TRUMP will love the fact that he can take notes and looks the Republican Senators in their eyes, and also to remind these elite voters that his base can either mean a future in the US Senate or a hash been of US politics, only the uber liberal CNN covering what you are going to say.   Those thinking of running in 2024 do not want to Trump angry with them, there might be many candidates, and the Trump base might be the difference between winning and losing.  The American Presidential cycle gets started early by every election, thus candidates might be visiting IOWA and New Hampshire before the 2022 Mid terms.  If and its a BIG IF, the Senate confirms the impeachment then Trump can not seek public office again, his base directed by him might support another candidate, thus who are the 17 Senate Republicans will risk their political career to say GUILT when it comes to Trump. 

Biden and Iran - How to Appease Biden style - Biden Era

Giving POTUS the benefit the doubt might end sooner than I expected !

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.46 that the new Biden Press Secretary has stated the following on Iran, "  Also asked about the Iran Nuclear Deal, which Donald Trump pulled out of, she said that Iran "must resume compliance".  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Biden Administration starts its dance of appeasing Iran, one can see POTUS lifting some of the Trump sanctions, in this he will be helped by a WEAK Europe and the UK, and then allowing some nuclear material by Iran, Tehran will of course break any deal with secret operations that will only come to light by Israeli intelligence, the US can never match the Mossad when it comes to spy craft in the Middle East.  Thus in a couple of years, Tehran will have the bomb and it will be re - run of the North Korea problem.  Tehran will sabre rattle knowing that the West can not act, due to the fear of how Tehran will react.  This game has been played before, if it was not serious and dangerous it would be funny.  History does repeat itself.
