The Brexit PROBLEM for Remainers - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The moaning of REMAINERS of the BBC/Guardian/Sky News still have not gotten the message, the EU does not work for the UK, it never has, the mess of invoking and then revoking Article 16 to place a HARD BORDER on the border between the Republic and the Northern Ireland showed that when it comes to the crunch the EU does not care about Ireland or the problems of Northern Ireland.  The last three years was about avoiding such an issue and what does a PANIC EU do, it lets the genie out of the bottle, there are border problems, a friend of this blog stated that parcels sent to the Republic via Northern Ireland have to pay tax on such goods, double the the cost.  In fact it can be argued that the problems at the border should allow the UK to invoke Article 16, foods and other good are not reaching the Republic.  To think that the border costed us billions in monies to the EU, we should have kept out money, the EU can never be trusted. 




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


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


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.
