Special Prosecutor gets close to POTUS - Trump Era ( 2017 - ? )

Fox News: Reports " The documents also say that in mid-December, a “very senior member” of the Trump transition team directed Flynn to contact foreign governments including Russia.....NBC News has reported the “very senior” official was Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner.  "

Lets Get Real:

IF the Son in Law knew then POTUS knew, no wondering that President Trump has being asking about his pardon power, one can see the deal now, Trump pardons those close to him and he resigns as POTUS, then President Pence can do what Ford did in 74 and pardon his former boss.   Of course that depends on grown ups being in charge.   As the US has become more partisan over the years it could go badly wrong and this scandal could last years.   The end result will be POTUS leaving in disgrace, that is not a word that Trump understands, he will blame the Washington Swamp instead. 

The END of Trump - Trump Era ( 2017 - ? )

Telegraph - Live Reporting: Reports " Flynn is prepared to testify that President Donald Trump directed him to make contact with Russians when he was a presidential candidate, ABC News reported. "

Lets Get Real:

It would be a nice Christmas present to the US and the World if President Trump was to resign at Christmas time.   The Presidency under Donald Trump has been devalued, its Moral leadership thrown in the bin.   Of course one wonders what kind of President Mike Pence will be, how will the US change, the VP has been very loyal to Trump, does he have his own agenda, he is more right wing that Trump, the World awaits.   Also let us recall there is still North Korea and Iran out there, will North Korea try a above ground nuclear test while the US is diverted by a POTUS on the way out.   It would not come as a shock to this blog if NK tries a above ground nuclear test around the Christmas period. 

Blackmail THREAT by the EU - Post Brexit

Guardian: Reports " Brussels may include 'punishment clause' in post-Brexit trade deal..Exclusive: EU could impose punitive tariffs on key British exports such as beef if UK seeks to lower regulatory standards "

Lets Get Real:

The UK as this blog has stated should walk out of the EU, they are a bunch of bullies and out to get as much money as they can for the EU.   Firstly they want nearly 100 billion euros, that is about 40-50 billion pounds, now they want to impose sanctions on the UK if we change EU rules.   This is enough, we have tried to be FAIR as is the UK is at all times, but this is ENOUGH.   It is time to play hardball, walk out and keep out money, make the UK the best place for business, cut taxes, allow the UK to become the place to be do business, low taxes, less regulations, a hub of the possible not the place wer business comes to dies.

Could the Ireland STOP a BREXIT DEAL ? - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " 'The UK's future lies in Dublin': Tusk warns Britain's divorce offer must be acceptable to Ireland before he'll even ask other EU leaders as Irish PM Varadkar demands more from May  "

Lets Get Real:

The Irish have to understand they are not on top of the totem poll, their main neighbour for exports is  the UK is not the EU, if need be the UK should force the Irish to build a dam customs border if they want to please the EU so much, or the Irish could come with the British and leave the EU, let us recall who is the major power here, it is not the Irish.  The British Government has to be firm with the Irish, they are small nation, we could place high taxes on Irish exports to the UK.   It is time to play hardball with the Irish!!

Is Donald Trump FINISHED ? - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI about meetings with Russia's ambassador weeks before Donald Trump became president. "

Lets Get Real:

In one word POTUS is FINISHED, it is just a matter of time before Vice - President Pence becomes President, it really depends how badly Trump wants to stay as President.  Let's recall the Watergate break in took place in 1972, Nixon lasted in till 1974 when Ford became President.  Those with a brain within the Trump Administration will try to move their support to Pence, the Cabinet will be wondering who will stay in a Pence Administration.   This blog made a mistake in 2016 in predicting that HRC would win and who would be in her Administration, in this case this blog would place a heavy bet on that PENCE will be President before the end of 2018.

A New US Secretary of State ? - Trump Era

Telegraph: Reports " Donald Trump 'plans to sack Rex Tillerson and make Mike Pompeo secretary of state within weeks' "

Lets Get Real:

At the end of the day, a President of the United States must have confidence in his Secretary of State, if for nothing else as to allow the Secretary to his job!! Of course in the modern era foreign policy comes out of the White House, with twitter it is more of a problem, a President like Trump causes massive problems for the State Department, they like clear communication, diplomacy not the ravings for a bored President.  The President should be able to chose his own Secretary of State and sack him or her if they are no longer of use, thus the point with Tillerson.   D.C will be full of gossip to see who shall be the next Secretary of State. 

Democrats still have problems with Bill Clinton and 1998 - Bill Clinton

Guardian: Reports "  Gloria Steinem on her Bill Clinton essay: 'I wouldn’t write the same thing now'..The feminist icon spoke to the Guardian about her 1998 op-ed, which drew criticism: ‘what you write in one decade you don’t necessarily write in the next’ "

Lets Get Real:

Democrats and those on the left still have a HARD TIME when it comes to being critical of Bill Clinton and his personal actions, the above article finishes the thought that policy is more important than personal actions, by that theory Democrats could or would support Jack Ripper as long as he was for abortion.   The Democrats if they are to go forward must axe the Clinton link to the Party or they face going down to defeat in 2018 and 2020.   The liberal elite are as toxic as the far right, GROW UP LEFT. 

The Moral leadership of the Presidency is too important to trade for some policy, no matter the left or the right, neither Bill Clinton or Donald Trump should have ever gotten to the Presidency.
