The Democrats are Fishing for Russian Ties to Trump - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Election hacking: Obama orders 'full review' of Russia interference..President’s decision to have US intelligence agencies look over evidence comes after unrelenting pressure from Democratic lawmakers to declassify information "

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats think this is 1968 ALL over again, as the reader might recall the Nixon Campaign in 68 had talks with the Government South Vietnam as to place pressure on them not to attend the Paris peace talks, this helped Richard Nixon in the 1968 Presidential fight.  The Democrats are looking for ties between Russia and Trump, they WANT to find that Russia and the Trump campaign were working together to subvert the will of the American people.    The 1968 story is true, it came out decades later, and has been linked to the Watergate scandal, as it was Nixon was checking to see what the Democrats had on him for the 1972 election.   The idea that Putin and Trump are working together sounds MAD, and in the real world it would not happen, to many ways the story would leak.   Both President Putin and President Elect Trump are ego maniacs, they like to be considered as great Statesmen.   The very basic truth is that HRC was not a good candidate, she is not President Obama, the Obama magic did not transfer to her, she lost, it is that simple and brutal.

The Russians and the 2016 Presidential Election - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " President Obama has ordered his intelligence agencies to conduct a review of hacking during the 2016 presidential election and present their findings before he leaves office, a top adviser said Friday. "

Lets Get Real:

The is a good move by President Obama, the FBI, CIA, NSA, MUST have some information that would either confirm or clear the Russians of doing the hacking.   The FACT is this blog thinks the Democrats are right on this subject, it was in the interest of the Russians for Trump to win, and they pushed ALL buttons to make sure it happened.   The question is what will the new Trump Administration do with the investigation once it takes power, it will be faced by the US intelligence agencies stating that Russia via hacking tried to subvert the US democratic system.   As winner takes ALL, one expects a Trump Oval to deep six the report.   President Obama should have made more of the issue before the election, he should have taken the right to Donald Trump, being cool and losing is not winning.

The LAST chance for the US ? - Trump Era

The Hill: Has this opinion piece on the electoral college, the article states the following, " Donald Trump has demonstrated a predilection for tyranny at home and chaos abroad, and the Electoral College is our constitutional safety valve that can keep him out of the White House.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is very much the last chance to STOP Trump becoming President, it is what called a Hail Mary Pass, and the result, it will not work, liberals have to accept and concerned Conservatives also that Trump with be the next President of the United States.  One has to be fair to the Trump, he has saved jobs even before becoming President, that is more than President Obama can claim.   On foreign policy he will have a Cabinet of Generals, one might say top heavy in Generals, but as long as they keep US foreign policy on the road, that is the main thing, also external pressure on the Oval Office will start at once when Trump is President.  One can only hope that he wants to be become another Reagan and not another naive Obama.   IF Trump sets a red line in foreign policy he has to carry it through, the Obama reversal of policy when it came to his read line was a disaster for his Presidency and for the US as leader of the Western World.  One is crossing one fingers and hoping that Trump will be  a lucky and wise President.  

VP Biden on 2016 Presidential Election - Trump Era

The Hill: Reports " Vice President Biden on Thursday voiced disgust with the tone of the 2016 presidential campaign. "

Lets Get Real:

At a base level the 2016 Presidential Elections was the lowest the US has seen in years, it was ALL about the personality of the candidates, and how far down the toilet they would go, the Democrats went after Trump in the most horrid way, yes it can be argued they used his own words against him, but still, it was not about actual policy.   On the Republican side, the Trump got the base of the Republican to see HRC as a criminal who needed to be sent to jail, neither side smelled like roses.  The problem is that the US election cycle makes the politicians in D.C wary of crossing the base of the Party, as the base funds elections, thus actual government tends to lose its focus, the next election in the 2018 Mid terms, the pols in D.C are already looking forward to it and getting the cash in ready for another election fight.

Recount Process - Part 12 - The Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Michigan recount stopped after judge says Jill Stein has no legal standing...The Green party candidate finished fourth in Michigan and didn’t have a chance of winning even after a recount and therefore isn’t ‘aggrieved’, the court said "

Lets Get Real:

IN less there something new that the Green's and Democrats can try in the legal field this recount process IS over.  Thus even this concerned Conservative will have to get used to a President Trump!  How BAD can it be, pretty bad, Trump has a very thin skin, he allows petty things to upset him, then goes to Twitter to start a War of Words.    As POTUS Trump will have to control himself, it's not going to be boring, the White House will become interesting again, the press will NOT fawn over President Trump, there will be no Nobel Prize for doing nothing, politics will be back to normal, of course that depends if you think US politics is normal, the election of Trump might have thrown that out of the window.

Trump and the Trade Union Boss - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump has blasted a union leader who accused him of lying about his deal to stop an air conditioning maker from moving jobs to Mexico. "

Lets Get Real:

PLEASE, will someone take away the President-Elect's cell from him, as President in January HE can not have these fights with individuals, there will be REAL threats to the US from the Middle East; Daesh in Syria, Eastern Europe; Putin and Russia, Asia; China's land and sea takeover in Asia.   Once in the Oval Office President Trump can not allow these personal fights to take up his day, thus the importance of finding a good Secretary of State, someone who does not outshine the boss but give structure to Trump Foreign Policy.  TAKE AWAY THE CELL.

Recount Process 11 - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " Recounts barely making dent in election results; Trump gains in Wisconsin "

Lets Get Real:

IF the Greens and Democrats want to overturn the November result they have only a few days to go, they need to find a hundred thousand votes in three States to beat Trump, so far not so good.   The process has moved to the Courts, even the Federal Courts can not move the deadline of Dec 12.    Thus if you're a liberal or a concerned Conservative you just might have to accept the fact that Trump will the be the 45th President of the United States, it going to be a rollercoaster for the US and the World.
