Democracy BACK on the road - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its  12.55am post the following, " Senators are being escorted back into the Senate chamber to resume the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential race.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus DEMOCRACY is returned to Capitol Hill, the US Congress can get on with its business, one hopes the Republicans will not object to electoral votes, after the storming and death of a woman, this day needs to return to quiet Democracy.  The Trump President will end in 13 days, thank goodness, the Republicans needs to take a hard look at themselves, they need a new leader, yes like Reagan or Bush 43, someone who likes Democracy and will do the work, not someone who lives and breaths through Twitter or the media.  IN this day and age it will be hard, they do not make a lot Reagans or JFK's, it can be assumed that is why they are considered great, their successors are never them, with the exception of Obama for the Democrats, he had charisma and his former VP has won the Presidency even after Obama thought he should not run in 2016, thus the Obama legacy is restored with Biden beating Trump. 

Bush 43 to attend the swearing in of President Biden - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports " 'Peaceful transfer of power is hallmark of our democracy': George W. Bush in thinly veiled dig at Trump as he confirms attendance at Biden inauguration "

Lets Get Real:

The Bush family is part of the American elite, Bush 43's grandfather was a US Senator, his father was Vice - President and President in his own right from 1989 to 1993 when he failed to win re-election in 1992.   Then Bush 43 who was twice elected Governor of Texas was elected in 2000 or selected by the US Supreme Court, take your pick on that.  The Bush Dynasty has class and understands history, Bush 43 is a great reader of history, and understands the importance of form, if they are not ill former Presidents normally attend the swearing in of their successor.  One does not see Trump attending events with former Presidents, he is thinking of 2024 and can he keep his base within the Republican Party.  The Republican Party needs a new Reagan someone who can go to toe with Trump and has loads of charisma, WHO IS THE QUESTION?

A woman dies in Capital Protest - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports in it live blog, at 23.34pm the following, " Police have confirmed a woman who was shot at the US Capitol has died. "

Lets Get Real:

This is a shocking development, was the woman part of the protesters or an innocent victim who happened to be there, the extreme right will have field day if the woman was part of the rioters, she will be seen as a martyr, IF just an innocent victim, the uber liberal press will have field day saying the blames rest with President Trump, the details are rare this moment, a full picture should come tomorrow.  President Trump should have a hard look at himself in the mirror, his words were the fuel for todays action, the Biden Department of Justice must open a file on the incident and bring charges, of course Trump might pardon himself, he is that mental and does not care about the Presidency or the Country.  On the pure political side, its Biden town for the next two years, last night the Democrats took the two Georgian Senate Seats, let's if they can manage the Country better. 

Washington D.C under Curfew after Capitol stormed - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its live blog at 11pm that " The capital city in the US, after hours of violence at the heart of its government, has just started its citywide curfew.. The local time is 18:00 EST and it's in effect until Thursday morning."

Lets Get Real:

This blog was in shock when it watched the news to see the US Capitol being stormed, the US security in the place was lacking, this is not new, in 1984 this blog went over to the US to see the Presidential Election and visited the Capitol, security was not an issue, this blog got lost and found itself walking around the corridors of the US Senators, even passed the office of Senator Edward Kennedy, after 9/11 one would have hoped that US security has been upgraded, it seems not.  This blog is a firm Law and Order supporter, there should have been police on guard to stop the protesters, this act today was up there with sedation, even treason.  The last time the Capital was stormed, was by the British in 1814, we also burned the White House in 1812.   Thus after that and the US Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln, one would have thought that security would have been the first thing to get a upgrade.  The rioters must think they had the blessing of President Trump, he was still saying the election was stolen when by video he called for the protesters to go home.   Thus the Biden Department of Justice, should bring charges against Trump and his supporters.  This is at least sedation or even treason.  If not that then Trump's pension should be axed, he has enough money, as he keeps telling us he is a billionaire. 

Tony Blair would have supported the Brexit Deal - After Brexit 1

Daily Mail: Reports " Arch-Remainer Tony Blair says he would have BACKED the Brexit deal in House of Commons as he compares leaving the EU to 'shock therapy' "

Lets Get Real:

As the PM said in the House of Commons the Labour Party is planning to take the UK back in to the EU after the 2024 election if they win.  The HARD REMAINERS, and this includes former PM Tony Blair want to see the UK back in the EU and supporting removing the pound and trading in Euros. The UK at the moment is going through a fraught period, with Brexit and COVID - 19, once the vaccines are out in the public the crisis atmosphere will go down and Sir Keir Starmer will be seen as Captain Lockdown, always calling for Lockdowns, the UK can only take so much closing down the economy.  The polls should show LABOUR ahead, if they didn't there would be something wrong with either the polls or the people. The next election is in 2024, polls come and go, and Boris is a good politician. 

The MIND SET of POTUS ( Trump ) - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Extraordinary audio recording reveals worrying insight into Trump's state of mind...With just weeks to go before Joe Biden takes office, Mr Trump's behaviour seems increasingly erratic and potentially dangerous. "

Lets Get Real:

It is fair to argue that the taped conversation between Trump and a Georgian official, could cross the line when it comes to State or Federal LAW, but the real worry is that Trump will take action over Iran or Iran might try to force the issue before Biden becomes President.  One can assume that Biden will appease Iran, the sanctions will be lifted and the US and the UN will try to get the Obama agreement restored, that will help with the Obama legacy.  Of course one can be critical of Trump, he has lost he plot, but not when it comes to IRAN, they are already increasing their nuclear capacity that is well over the agreement signed by Obama and Iran.  Thus President Biden will try to restore a flawed agreement, the real worry is what he is going to do about Russia and North Korea, the Democrats have been critical of Trump when it comes to Putin, but what to they plan to do about it, while North Korea is nuclear armed, is Biden going to go to war with North Korea, one has doubts.  Time will tell. 

Is Trump committing Treason with his Georgia Gamble - Biden Era

POTUS is close to the line of TREASON! 

BBC News: Reports " US election: Trump tells Georgia election official to 'find' votes to overturn Biden win "

Lets Get Real:

This blog is not a US election lawyer, but the taped conversation of POTUS placing pressure on a Georgian official to find VOTES is crossing some US law, either State or Federal, the Republicans on the Hill seem to have been captured by Trump, the Party has to think about the 2022 Mid Term Elections and then 2024 Presidential run.  The Republican BRAND is being damaged, God knows what the Gipper would say about this latest move by Trump, but then Reagan won by 44 States in 1980 and 49 States in 1984.   Trump is acting like a old Chicago politician, thinking that he can over turn a Presidential election.  What he should have done was admit defeat in November and then get his base ready for the 2024 election, after this daft and stupid move the Republicans must wake up, and drink the Coffee.
