Trump on China, Ukraine and the Bidens - US Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump, already facing an impeachment inquiry after urging Ukraine to investigate his political rival Joe Biden, has now urged China to do likewise.  "

Lets Get Real:

One thing about POTUS, he really does not give a d-m, he is so used to reality TV that he is taking the format of reality to the White House.  What is shocking, is that the Party of Reagan has not draw a line in the sand, the Ukraine crisis is about US national security and the defence of the Ukraine against the Russian Bear.   Today POTUS asked China to investigate the Bidens, this is illegal, and Trump does not care, one has to ask, is he so self deluded or has the Republican Party by the political balls, there is few resistance to Trump from the GOP, also over the past few days, the Ukraine has dragged in the VP, Attorney General Barr and the Secretary of State, so the 25th Amendment is out.  POTUS is making Washington D.C a laughing stock, what will it take for the Republican Senate to remove Trump, as it seems that the VP is implicated in the crisis, there is no way that Republicans would ever allow the Speaker of the House to get in shouting distance of the Oval Office.  What a FARCE, poor US. 

The Impeachment of Trump and the US voter - US Election 2020

Daily Mail: Reports " Support for impeachment swells to 49 per cent as Americans absorb whistle-blower's bombshell allegations about Donald Trump "

Lets Get Real:

In 1974 Richard Nixon only agreed to resign when the Republicans in the US Senate told him it was over, if this had not happened the history could have been different.   Also the polls for Nixon were bad, it was the reverse for Bill Clinton, the US voter did not think that Clinton deserved to be impeached because of an affair and he was found not guilty by a Republican US Senate.   As long as Trump can keep the defections to a few Senators up for re-election in 2020 he will be all right.  Of course if House hearings next week can push the story along, then there might be a difference, does the White House hold other compromising transcripts of Trump with other State leaders.   This blog would be interested to read the transcript of the talks between Trump and Putin, one would assume that the Trump White House will fight tooth and nail to keep them quiet.  It is going to be dramatic week next week. 

POTUS vs. Senator Warren ? - US Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " Trump v Warren rallies preview possible 2020 populist duel "

Lets Get Real:

The above article is interesting, it was published a few days before the Ukraine scandal broke, and looks at the possible match up of Trump vs. Warren.   The Democrats are rushing for Impeachment to finish by the end of November, of course they have already made their minds up, a thorougher impeachment would take almost a year, the Dems want to keep their base happy, also they do not want the process to damage the Democratic race that will start in 2020 with the Iowa and New Hampshire votes.   The blog has read the transcript, it is damaging, but not enough to impeach a duck never mind a President, it depends of the House Committees can bet officials to come to talk to them and how much roadblocks the White House places on the process.   Trump will be ready for bear, he is a good counter puncher, the CIA official who was the whistle blower better have no connection to the Democrats in any form, otherwise Fox News and the supporters of the POTUS will go after him or her with a fury.    As long as Trump keeps the Senate the trial will be very short, there is no chance, that 20 Republicans will defect to support impeachment, POTUS will be found innocent, and then he can go in to 2020 with the mantra that the Democrats have tried two Coups in attempt to overturn the 2016 Election, and Warren will argue that TRUMP is corrupt, it will be a VERY DIRTY campaign. 

The White House: Transcript of a call between the Presidents of the United States of America and the President of the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

Having READ the actually document I think the Democrats and CNN are doing another Mueller, GOING OVER THE TOP! there is no threats per say, one can take the view that the POTUS was concerned about corruption in the Ukraine, that happened to include allegations against former VP Joe Biden and his son.  The Democrats and CNN have allowed their hatred of Trump to allow the impression to be reality.   One doubts any Court, even liberals Courts would take this only as evidence of corruption, the Democrats should dial it back a bit, they could LOSE the House if they go over the top again and hurt a Democratic nominee in 2020.  Of course there might be other information, we shall see, if this is IT, not that impressed. 

POTUS states executive privilege over Mueller Report

Daily Mail: Reports " Trump asserts executive privilege to keep full Mueller report SECRET from Congress as his AG Bill Barr is held in CONTEMPT for refusing to hand it over  "

Lets Get Real:

The above is ALL SHOW, the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee faces a left wing challenge in his District if he does not impeach President Trump.  Nearly all the Democratic candidates for President have called for Trump to be impeached, they are trying to get some traction in the polls, thus far VP Biden is smashing the field.  Of course the Democratic Debates have not happened yet, and a year is a long time, anything could happen, Trump could go to WAR with IRAN, the economy could carry on with its great upward path, the Democrats only have a chance in 2020 if the economy tanks, or if POTUS has a disaster on foreign policy, in that matter Trump is trying to bring US troops home, but as stated, you never know, North Korea could blow up, at the same time as Iran, that would challenge for ANY President, and let's be honest Trump is no JFK or Reagan, could he manage a double crisis.  It a long road to the Iowa in 2020. 

William Barr to be held in Contempt of Congress - Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " Mr Barr would be the first attorney general held in contempt of Congress since the Obama administration's Eric Holder in 2012.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US House Judiciary Committee is to hold the US Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress.  The House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi has lost control of her caucus, the left wing of the Democratic Party could cost the the Democrats the House in 2020 and the White House.   The extreme LEFT is listening to AOC and Senator Warren, a candidate for the Democratic nomination and other Democratic candidates.   Warren and her fellow candidates are trying to appeal to the LEFT WING BASE, the ones on social media, the problem is that the US voter has made it clear that it does not want impeachment and half want the investigations to END.  In fact as mentioned on CNN, POTUS approval ratings  have gone up, in fact he wants the Democrats to go for impeachment, it will not fly in the Senate, were he will be found innocent, it did not hurt Bill Clinton over all in 1998/99.   If Speaker Pelosi can not control her members she is in OFFICE but with no power, very much like PM May in the UK. 

AG Barr vs. House Democrats - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Attorney General Bill Barr might not show up Thursday for Mueller report hearing after House Democrats say they want their LAWYERS to grill him  "

Lets Get Real:

The House Democrats are playing POLITICAL GAMES, they do not watch to impeach as this could backfire on them, thus we have this political harassment by the Democrats on the Hill.  The AG should refuse to meet them if they do not treat him as his rank would expect, he is after all the Attorney General of the United States, the Democrats are playing to their very liberal base, the base wants to impeach, not because they will win, it is just to make a point.  They hate POTUS so much, they would rather face the political blowback of impeachment, than allow Trump to get away it from their view after the Mueller Report.   The Trump White House is RIGHT to fight back when it comes to Democratic House Committees, the Dem members do not want to face a primary fight in two years time, thus the US does not matter, this is pure politics on their part.  I take the word of the AG over partisan Democrats. 

The LAST WORD on the Mueller Report!! - Trump Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 7.48pm post, " White House senior counselor Kellyanne Conway told reporters that the publication of the Mueller report is “really the best day since he got elected”. She reiterated Trump’s insistence that there was “no collusion, and there was certainly no criminal conspiracy with any Russians”...“We’re accepting apologies today, too, for anybody who feels the grace in offering them,” Conway said.  "

Lets Get Real:

One can expect the uber liberal press to force the House Democrats to impeach President Trump, not because they will get rid of him, just because they can, as long as the economy is going well and the Republican base is with him the Republican Senate will find him not guilty.  The Trump Campaign of 2020 will use the impeachment move to get donations in from the base, also remind voters that while it was Conservative districts that gave the Democrats a majority in the House, it is being run by far left liberal such as AOC.  In 2020 the Democratic nominee will have to defend the actions of the House, this could sink any Democratic campaign in Congress and for the OVAL.   In this 24/7 media age, the fight never stops, CNN and the other liberal media networks will ask why the Democrats have not impeached Trump, they want to create the news, thus FAKE NEWS. 

Vice - President Pence on the Mueller Report - Trump Era

The White House: Has released the following statement by Vice - President Pence, " Today’s release of the Special Counsel’s report confirms what the President and I have said since day one: there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and there was no obstruction of justice.

After two years of investigation, conducted with the full cooperation of this Administration, that involved hundreds of witness interviews and millions of pages of documents, the American people can see for themselves: no collusion, no obstruction.

Now that the Special Counsel investigation is completed, the American people have a right to know whether the initial investigation was in keeping with long-standing Justice Department standards — or even lawful at all. We must never allow our justice system to be exploited in pursuit of a political agenda.

While many Democrats will cling to discredited allegations, the American people can be confident President Trump and I will continue to focus where we always have, on advancing an agenda that’s making our nation stronger, safer, and more secure.  "

Lets Get Real:

In this modern world of social media, you live in your own political planet, if you watch CNN you think that POTUS did colluded with the Russians even after the Mueller cleared the Trump Campaign of that allegation.   Also you think POTUS tried but failed to obstruct justice but was prevented by his staff from doing any damage.  If you are a Fox News watcher you will take the words of AG Barr, the President was cleared of collusion, by the way for liberals, collusion is not a crime. Also the AG did not agree with the special prosecutor when it comes to the legal theory of obstruction of justice, and thus cleared the President.   Let's recall Mueller works for AG Barr not the other way around, the AG calls the shots on the final interpretation of the law for prosecution.  Thus those that are sane, just want the matter over with, Mueller cleared POTUS of collusion, however many ways CNN try to say it did not happen, and the AG, and the Deputy AG, are the top law enforcers in the land have cleared Trump when it comes to obstruction.   One will postulate that the Democrats will try to impeach the President on obstruction, but they will fail because it will be seen as partisan, and no Republican is going to go against the AG when it comes to a matter of law.   Again to Democrats, impeachment is not about the law, it's is about the art of politics. 

US illegal Asylum Seekers FACE LONG TERM JAIL - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Asylum seekers who have proven a credible fear of for their safety will no longer be able to ask a judge for bond, the justice department says.  "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS must be overjoyed with his new Attorney General, this is a drastic move by the Trump Administration and will get liberals hopping mad.  Of course that could be the point, even some liberals consider that there is a CRISIS at the border and something must be done.   But the idea that the US will throw illegal asylum seekers in to long term prison, is against the spirit of the US, in the 19th and 20th Century the US was seen as a beacon of hope to those immigrants seeking a new life, the very idea that the present US will throw illegal aliens in to prison for years is a PR disaster for the US.   On the realistic side it is a harsh warning to those from the Souther America's that the US is in essence closing its BORDER.  POTUS has stated that the US is full, this will make his base happy, and help in 2020, it goes against what Reagan said in his farewell address to the nation, that if there have to be WALLS there should be DOORS to allow people in.   The US is a melting pot for ALL people, it needs new people for it to grow, as they are absorbed, new people, it is a never ending cycle, not something to be afraid off.   The decision by the new AG will be taken to the Courts.
