I have a feeling it is a bit more insidious. I think that they are trying to preserve themselves so that if they can beat him back from investigating Joe as they beat him back from investigating Hillary ..then each of these scummy corrupt politicians will be safe.

If he DOES investigate them, he is now "corrupt" and a "tyrant".

They are selling the narrative now. He is a threat and the law only good when it sides with them against him.

There has been essentially 5 tiers of support (examples):

1. Biden, Sanders, Warren (15%+ to 30%)
2. Buttigeig, Harris (10+ to 15%)
3. Steyer, Klobacheur (5%+ to 10%)
4. Gabbard, Yang, Bloomberg, Booker, Beto (2% - 5%)
5. Bennett, Williamson (under 2%)

** I know some people have dropped out. **

Some movement between these but generally there has been a distinct separation (I particularly liked Harris falling from tier 1 to tier 2). But they are starting to work themselves out to The moderates - Biden on around 30% and Buttigeig on about 10% vs the Progressives - Sander on around 20% and Warren on around 15%

I think think this fight between Warren and Sanders will do nothing good for either of them. I think Sanders will lose some sheen but I think Warren will too and with time off the trail I can see them both bunching up with Buttigeig at around 10%-15%

HOWEVER I see Biden getting a caning as a result of investigations currently at work, backed by the results of whatever comes out about Hunter and he during the Senate hearings.

So HOPEFULLY his support will drop like a rock. IF this happens I can see he will he will join Warren and Sanders.

Can you imagine all of them clumped together and not far off the Yangs and Steyers and Klobacheurs? Suddenly competitive and even more unpopular and divided

Look this is not necessarily to bum you out. Don't get me wrong, if they do ANYTHING of note i will be very pleased, but after everything is common knowledge and so little done to all these seditious lying immoral fiends, i do not expect anything mindblowing.

There may be a couple of scalps. By scalps i am not even sure about prison. By couple, i mean a couple

So what? On far less look what they did to Pappadopolous and Flynn and Stone.

Do not look for anything comparable.

However Trump will keep keeping on. With very little aid besides his intellect, cunning, tenacity and sheer force of will, will achieved much., because he already has.

He just needs all of you to do everything you can to get him another 4 years

Losing the House and Senate will hamstring him so see if collectively you can get him that too.

"So..." "Yeah.." "We could not have predicted..." "Of course not.." "You still think Iranians will accept our intel and advice?" "No" "How much do you think Trump knows?" "Everything" "So....we're fucked?" "The best we can do is lube up and hope they go easy on us"

A while back Trump chose not to do a strike when it was assessed that the civilian death toll was estimated at around 150.

This emboldened the Iranian leadership to escalate and escalate, because in their minds, Trump had proved himself a soft touch and too weak to do anything about it.

Now Soleimani and his deputy are dead and Trump is going through their proxies' leadership like a wrecking ball.

It would have been better when he gave them and their citizens a let off, to breathe a sigh of relief and admit they dodged a bullet.

Their game of chicken with the Trump Train is over. Play silly games...

Nancy told us this, leading up to the Impeachment. This was her justification for her power plays.

There were some other catch cries

"No one is above the law" and such, but underpinning all of this was a sense of Congress being a check on the President. So therefore she is a head of Congress and Trump is the head of the Executive. Tbey are equals and so therefore she gets to run roughshod over him.

Obviously you see flaws in this reasoning. There is not JUST Congress and the Executive. There is a third arm. The Judiciary.

Also, she controls the House of Representatives NOT Congress. In figurative terms, it would be like her being the Head of a company with 17% shares in another company with 2 other shareholders both with 33% shares each and remaining shareholder having 17%. Yet she believes she can dictate how that company can be run and that her 17% is worth at least 50%. It is not.

The Supreme Court needs to be bought in because she is out of control.there is precisely one reason not to......John Roberts the swinging Judge.

The spiteful toadie does not like Trump. . I wonder if Trump has this and a lot of other issues waiting in the wings for RBG to die/retire and be replaced, nullifying Roberts swing vote power.

I would love to see the reaction if the Supreme Court wiashed the Impeachment on grounds of unconstitutionality. Similarly getting Supreme Court to compel Pelosi to hand over Articles of Impeachment would be great.

House of Representives is not the only power and sure as Hell can and should be checked

The poor old rascal. He is a little diminished in his old age. He sometimes forgets where he is and says silly things. Yet he still has a bit of fight to him. Its just that he is old. The being overly affectionate was charm. The forgetting things and being a tad irrelevant is possibly dementia. After having lost a son we can't pick on this old, confused old man can we??

Unless we thought this was all carefully orchestrated bullshit. There was no lack of clarity when he told the Ukrainians they had to sack their own Prosecutor was there? No stumbles, vagueness or confusion?

Lets not beat about the bush. He is still a front runner despite his act. Believe me this confused old man persona will fade away if it is him against Trump and he has a chance to shut shit down. Up until then he is doing just enough to be sympathetic and remain viable. Its a waiting game and he is treading water.

What he has done he has done. It does not make it okay because now he plays the senile old man nor does his physical inappropriateness to women and girls become okay because he is an old rascal and does it all publicly with a smile.

He is a POS and needs to be taken down hard for this. He can see how far this "touchy feelly Uncle Joe" bullshit gets him in prison.

How many SHOULD be charged? How many will?

Love to see Johnson come in asking for a nice fair post-Brexit deal.

I am pretty certain that the various reports from Barr's investigations and various FOIA requests will show wrong doing and illegality committed.

Rashilda not living and having never lived in Michigan and therefore being ineligible to hold the position she has, Ilhan having fraudulently married her brother, Alexandra having committed xampaign violations, Schiff having create and helped the whistleblower launch the process of impeachment to then to rule over, and so on and so on and so forth.

We know they act with impunity. We know the break rules and laws. Hell that goes double for the Intel folks.

The prolem i see is that these things are known and who acts on it? Any Republican doing this would be exoriated in the press and have charges bought to bear.

There seems to be a base level of understanding that a certain amount of slack be cut and even then actually going all in to charge someone with crimes is somehow wrong or overkill and that being fired is a huge blow to these elites.

Look what thet did to Roger Stone and for what. Look what they did to Flynn.

We need to go overkill if anything. Republicans are trying to turn the other cheek, and keep gloves on. EVERYTHING they do wrong needs to be jumped on. Next term better be cleaning house because McCabe and one FBI lawyer is not nearly enough scalps.

Barr NEEDS to go to town and take a figurative bat to the Intel agencies and the Democrat party and start dictating terms. Use the Supreme Court where needed and rattle and wake up the Senate.

Pay the Bastards back!

Thinking back to the crap he got about inauguration picture and his statement:

"Here's a picture of the crowd. Now the audience was the biggest ever. But this crowd was massive. Look how far back it goes"

Ready for your mind to be blown? Let's parse these statements.

1. "Here's a picture of the crowd" - It was, in fact a picture of the crowd
2. "Now the audience was the biggest ever" - Which audience? The people physically there or the people watching? Given streaming capabilities and the ever increasing reach of the internet I would suggest that there were FAR more people watching Trump be inaugurated than there was Obama. FAR more AUDIENCE
3. "But this crowd was massive" - Hell yes, it WAS massive. Not the biggest of any inauguration maybe but very substantial in its own right.
4. "Look how far back it goes" - A long way by the looks.

Find the lie.

I say every snake will come out of the bushes. There will be queues of people begging for leniency and roll over and throwing their friends and colleagues under the bus.

Then Barr will just need to connect dots and evidence and start prioritising and pushing. Brennan, Pelosi, Biden, Schiff, Stroyk, Glenn Simpson. Plenty of candidates.

MAGA is more than a Conservative movement.

Would you be offended to your core if I told you I was indifferent to Conservative values? I hope not. Would you doubt my support of Trump as a non-Conservative? I hope not.

I am a Classical Liberal a little left of Centre. I will tell you some truths and you will better see my position. Every year the mainstream Left get crazier and less reasonable and rational. Every year they are moving further and further away from my positions. They are not moderate and not able to be reasoned with. They are Authoritarians and not to be trusted.

So as a reasonable person do I side with people who for the most part are completely reasonable and rational, that I disagree with to a degree on specific topics? Or do I side with dangerous nutcases. It is not a hard choice.

I have been against these lunatics for years. I see them for what they are. They are cultural cancer and will march culture and society off a cliff.

Years of Obama-resque Global Progressives and Global establishment Republicans all feeding from the same trough and hat tipping their contemporaries World Wide like Merkel and Trudeau.

Then came Trump and I had hope. He was going to smash this Progressive Globalist status quo and show the world a different way to do things. I hoped like Hell he was serious and he would succeed. That he would say no to the Authoritarians and the elitists. I have been hoping this for years.

I never had a problem with the things he said per se as I was worried things said poorly or inarticulately would sink him and it never did and my confidence in hos ability to do his thing increased.

I believe in Trump.

As a result I believe in you guys too. I think you may be surprised at how large the tent is of Trump supporters. People who back the man and will defend him to the hilt.

Trump and MAGA eclipses Conservatism.

We have every reason and every right to be excited over RBG replacement. Her replacement is likely and will nullify the swinging vote of that DH Roberts.

But something i want you to consider. Let's assume Trump is President until the end of his second term . Lets also consider the average life expectancy of white males is 77 years of age.

Democrat appointee Judge Stephen Breyer

81 now. 82 start of next term and 86 at end of next term.

Pretty decent odds of a 7/2 majority.

MAGA

First drag it out as long as they can until the Public is completely turned off it and make every chance to redirect any public angst back at the Dems.

"Hey we did not want this either but if they insist on a trial we have to do it properly. Wouldn't it have been better to avoid this?"

Use the opportunity to open up avenues for different enquiries.

Call up Schiff, his staff and the whistleblower.

Do the same for the Bidens

Ruin Joe Biden

Get all the Presidential candidates who are Senators to be forced to be taken off campaign trail whilst this goes on.

Expose the House investigation as a complete and absolute crock of shit

Finally when the vote is a forgone conclusion and the Investigation completely expoused and impotent, get Supreme Court to expunge the impeachment.
