Trump BOWS to political pressure to Open the Government - Trump Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.34pm post the following, " Trump agrees to reopen government  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus this a 2nd win for the Democrats in Congress, Speaker Pelosi denied the President the House for the State of the Union and NOW the Oval Office has agreed to open the Government without any payment for the Trump Wall.  The Trump base must have worked out NOW that Trump can be rolled and does not keep to his WORD.   It can be postulated that the Trump White House saw the POLLS and were worried about 2020 and the Russia probe.   The Democrats will now think they can run the domestic agenda and just threaten to close the Government if they do not get what they want.   One doubts that the Trump Oval will want to close the Government again, also one presumes that Trump wants to do the State of the Union on the 29th, will the Speaker allow that without more concessions.   The above has shown that Trump is WEAK, Reagan sacked the Air Traffic Controllers when they went on strike, he was a leader, POTUS has shown that he is not great at the deal and  will  NOT stand firm.   The Republicans, well the Cabinet and VP should consider suspending POTUS and stating this is due to the Russia investigation, the Trump Presidency with this defeat and the Russia probe has become a RISK to Republicans in 2020.    Of course it would take the VP to stand up to POTUS. 

Could Roger Stone BRING DOWN Trump? - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

Mr Stone has stated he will not rollover on the President, that he will not lie for the Special Prosecutor, IF on the other hand Mr Stone is faced with YEARS in jail he could change his mind.   The charges against Mr Stone are FEDERAL, thus POTUS can PARDON him any time, that would scuttle the Special Prosecutor, the extreme LEFT WING media would go up the wall and the House Democrats would impeach him, but that would not matter if Trump can keep his BASE.   The Republican Senators will never impeach Trump if he still has the base, a few could defect but not ENOUGH.    At the end of the day this is about politics not the law, everyone else around Trump might be dragged in but a President has immunity.  It was interesting that CNN was at the Stone arrest, one does not need to be Mr Holmes to work out that they were told either by the FBI or the Special Prosecutor.   The liberal elite press already making the connection to POTUS, that Stone was a long term ally, that Trump surly would have known if Stone was in contact with WikiLeaks and thus Russia. The Oval Office must hope that Stone takes the fall for Russia, like Reagan's National Security Advisor Admiral POINDEXTER did for President Reagan during Iran - Contra.   This would blog would have taken the fall for Reagan, he was a great President, Trump on the other hand is NOT, if Mr Stone is offered a DEAL he should take it, Trump can not be trusted. 

No Brexit on 29/3/2019 ? - Brexit Update - Post Brexit?

Thus it starts folks, the HARD REMAINERS will place pressure on the May Government to extend Article 50, the HARD BREXIT SUPPORTERS have to fight this move, or Democracy is at PERIL in the UK. 


Lets Get Real:

This could be a tactic by the PM May to get the HARD REMAINERS to vote for whatever she brings back to the House of Commons, the threat is that BREXIT could be lost.    The Hard Brexit supporters have to remember that the House of Commons is being lead by a Bias Speaker, who wants to STOP BREXIT and is supported by Hard Remain MPs in the House.   It will be interesting to see if there is ANY movement by the EU when it comes to withdrawal treaty and what new plan the PM will have developed for Brexit.   This blog is still convinced that HARD REMAINERS will find a way to STEAL BREXIT and allow a UK Democracy to die a bit, so that they can keep BIG BUSINESS HAPPY.  Next week is going to be very interesting!
