Changes in Washington are not always beneficial to the country; that is why every U.S. citizen must keep a finger on her pulse. These days obtaining useful intel may be difficult. Consider using different news sources because they are sometimes biased.
Forced to defend himself, a cornered rat will do anything, including bring down a nation to survive. The president of the United States is above the law, and there is a good reason for that. Presidential distractions must be kept to a minimum for the office to function effectively. If the government was distracted with litigation, matters of national security, would not be attended too. The Framers provided safeguards, the office is allowed extraordinary power for a good reason; in a crisis, quick, precise, decisive action is needed. Both sides are equipped to defend themselves; an objective viewpoint will add credence to both.
We will live this nightmare for the rest of our lives; everybody is affected, some more than others. The fortunate will experience no discomfort, suffer no loss, and continue with a healthy life; the rest of us will pay for mistakes made. Attention must be directed to a series of tragedies that got us here; I do not place blame for that would serve no purpose. In order to understand the implications presented, we must learn what went wrong.
It is not by accident America hates itself; it is part of the plan. A government take over requires division among its citizens. It is usual for the Republicans and Democrats to be at odds with one another, and in some ways that is a good thing. There is nothing wrong with healthy competition, but it must be healthy. What is unusual is for the President of The United States to be at odds with the Constitution, which he is sworn to preserve, protect and defend.
Taking a step back will help explain the logic of the conclusions reached. His chief complaint is that the media is unfair to him, which is true. The press is unjust to everybody, especially me; they gave the evening anchor position to somebody with experience. “Get over it,” life is unfair. Don’t watch the news if it bothers you; these days most American’s don’t anyway. Mr. Trump is playing us; he sings the “woe is me” song while slapping down his opposition.
If you were sitting in my office, I would ask you to relax, I know, how do you do that? “Please take a deep breath and carefully listen to the words,” with no background noise, you will understand the situation more quickly. I have been paying close attention to strategically placed words, revealing body language, distinctive mannerism, and behavioral tendencies; the indications are clear; there is a Deep State.
The movement is well on its way to succeeding and was orchestrated by Mr. Trump. Corruption is like cancer, “uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells,” a government take over begins the same way. If a branch of government gains control of the other two, democracy turns into a dictatorship. On his present course, he will have his Authoritarian government within four years.
Mr. Trump is aggressively putting people, loyal to him, in critical positions to protect him. That accounts for the mass turn over in Washington. When qualified career officials are replaced with unqualified, Trump loyalists, America’s natural security is at risk. Mr. Trump leaving the White House was never part of the plan; he’s aware that if he is stripped of his powers, he is no longer above the law.
When his illegal activities are exposed, Mr. Trump will be convicted, put in prison, where he will hang himself of rot. Mr. Trump will do everything in his power to avoid that, including overthrowing the American Government, any questions? Future article to follow.
The power possessed by the POTUS is unimaginable; millions of lives are changed by a simple statement or a tweet. Since his election, Mr.Trump has turned this country upside down. Irresponsible leadership has enormous damage that can never be undone.
Mr. Trump is assembling a firing squad; he won't use it if the Senator is willing to change parties and obey him like the other republicans, except Romney. Correct, "Fake news," he is not assembling a firing squad, or is he? Senator Schumer is no dummy, dummies do not graduate from Harvard Law School. Mr. Trump is getting ahead of himself when he tweets that the Senator should be arrested, in America, we still have free speech. In North Korea, Senator Schumer could have been shot, imprisoned, or tortured. He could have had acid rubbed on his face, and his family could have been detained. Mr. Trump has not completed his goal of moving The United States into an authoritarian government, yet. I am not saying anything you haven't already heard; I am repeating what I heard and expressing my opinion. Remember free speech in America, for now; in Mr. Trump's government, he would do what he wants and not be held accountable. In Mr. Trump's government, I would not be writing this article because my life would be destroyed, as would my family. If Trump's government is your kind of government, keep it up, he's winning.
The State of the Union address would mean more if the guy, upfront, spoke the truth. Mr. Trump started, the night, in rare form; every gentleman knows when a lady extends her hand, the gentleman takes it; Trump did not. What he did was unkind, uncalled for, unpresidential, rude, and a mockery of the United States Government; his actions were shameful, perhaps he knows no better. Speaker Pelosi got him back by tearing up his speech in front of the audience.
Mr. Trump shows no shame; he cannot put three words together without two of them lies; he is incapable of telling the truth. If you were to believe him, then you must ask yourself, who's the idiot, him or me? "Our future is blazing bright; what does that mean? "Blazing bright future," will it burn? He is writing his speeches; no one else could come up with this stuff. It is typical for him to brag about his deeds; listen carefully, what he says is contradictory to what he does.

The lovely things he said about all those people were beautiful. I'm sure it made them feel good, but it had little to do with today's pressing issues. It is sickening to watch half the room stand and applaud at every sentence while the other half sits and stairs, in disbelief. It is one thing to have a country divided, but it becomes dangerous when the two sides have no professional courtesy, respect, neutral ground, or desire to work together. Trump did nothing to unite the country; a golden opportunity was missed.
The pace in which high ranking government and state department officials are leaving their posts is alarming. The primary reason for their departure is the inability to work with Mr. Trump. The reports vary, but the consensus is that he can be difficult. An unsustainable workforce is a national security nightmare, a less qualified staff, will make more serious mistakes. In some situations, it could cost lives. If Trump is unable to gain full support and loyalty from his team, he will fail. There have been whistleblowers, witnesses, and public officials whose lives have been made miserable by the wrath of Trump.
In the rules of chess, the object is to protect your king and destroy the opponent's king. In an imaginary game, Trump is the black king; Senator Schiff is the white. Trump has lost most of his pawns and some of his power pieces but has managed to hold on. By changing the rules, he was able to stay in power. Mr. Trump granted himself the ability to put captured pieces back on the board. That is why he still has a Secretary of State and Chief of Staff. Schiff is closing in for the kill; Trump has few pieces left to sacrifice; once they are gone, it will be checkmate for Trump. He has pulled rabbits out of a hat before, this time the rabbits a donkey that will kick him out of office.
Concerns exploded when Trump's lack of moral character did not prevent him from being elected. Trump supporters claim he was elected to get things done, not have good moral ethics. He was heard on national television, telling the host how he gets away with grabbing woman wherever he wants. He has been involved in numerous scandals and is involved in hundreds of court cases. More alarm bells went off when he refused to show his taxes; he is under court order to present them to the Southern District of New York but has not yet done it. When the leaders of a nation lack respect, the country lacks it also.
Mr. Trump's lack of experience manifested itself when it came to foreign affairs. He announced to the world that he takes the word of a Russian dictator over the Intelligence Community, the director left his post over it. The meeting between Mr. Trump and Putin was secret, with only two interpreters in the room. Mr. Trump's relationship with the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is a disaster for the United States; it worked out great for Jong-un. After there the first encounter, Mr. Trump said the North Korean nuclear threat is over; they are still testing missiles. Trump elevated Noth Korea in the global standing, elevated Kim in the eyes of the world, and his people and America got a dead hostage, container of ashes, and a massive blow to America's world image.
The Commander and Chiefs handling of the war in Syria is the worst so far. When he ordered our troops out, he abandoned U.S. allies on the battlefield. The Kurds were driven off their land by Turkey, working with Russia, who gained control of the region. Russia now determines what takes place there. They now control what America once did; our troops have not come home. Hundreds of Isis prisoners have escaped and are relocating to Iran, to fight our forces there. America gained nothing, our enemies, everything.
He talks about all the great things he does, but if you look closely, he has done more harm than good. If you reduce corporate taxes, the economy will grow, the deficit will balloon up, but the economy will grow. If environmental controls get rolled back, and the industry is allowed to run loose, the economy will grow as our world dies. The Paris Agreement is a significant step in combating global deterioration. Air quality in many parts of the world is inferior and is causing major health issues. The world once looked up to America now the world looks down and scratches their heads while asking, how could this happen?
The sooner, the better, we can get back to work. The impeachment hearings are going public next week; the committee has done their due diligence so the proceedings should move along. The Senate will do everything in their power, including ethics violations, to protect the White House. They have to fight for their lives because that is what's at stake. The Republican Party will be devastated, and the damage may take generations to recover. The Republicans will decide to protect American Democracy or to protect, a corrupt, President? I fear that human nature may take precedence over doing the right thing.

The speaker of the house, third in line for the office of the Presidency, asked Trump if he had a plan for military forces in Syria? He replied by throwing a tirade, calling her, a third-rate politician, the language was inappropriate. His actions are uncalled for and serve no purpose.
The Kurds were driven off their land by Turkey, working with Russia, who gained control of the region. Russia now determines what takes place there. They now control what America once did; our troops have not come home.
To drain the swamp, the demons must be, cast out, the quick sand must be encased in concrete, and the foliage must be cut back. Once he is impeached the most powerful snake in Washington will be, out. When new legislation is enacted the quicksand will be covered, and the foliage cast wild be cut beck when the corrupt members of parliament are sent packing. This will take time, brave and wise men a lot of luck and the will of God but it must be done; it will be done for the sake of mankind.
The Republican party is reeling from the actions of the State Department, the impeachment process, is no longer, solely, Trump's fault. The enablers are as responsible as Trump; he put the plan in motion but they ran with the ball. The ball was intercepted by the whistleblower and is on its way back, to the citizens, goal line. In an attempt to move the goalposts the Republicans are putting up a mediocre defense, but more and more are beginning to realize, two wrong does not make it right.
At the time of this writing, there are three Republicans who are willing to listen to the evidence before making a decision; a few are holding out hope that this will blow over. Trump and his allies know that this is the end, his short-lived victory has run its course. The damage done will be difficult to correct, but lessons were learned and consequences accepted. Trump's removal will be the first step in restoring the democracy that Trump and Putin almost destroyed.
“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer,” has been taken to a, whole, new level by Trump. Keeping your friends’ close makes sense, why then has this president pushed away America’s allies
His actions tell the story, Trump prefers a dictatorship over a free democracy; the rule of law separates them. Trump continues to bump heads, with the Democrats, in order to get his way.
If you who witnessed William Barr testify to the Senate Judiciary Committee, you would agree it was a fiasco, a national, embarrassment, in the world’s eyes. This was to be a bipartisan effort, to get to the truth of matters concerning National Security. It’s not about the President; it’s not about the Republicans, and it’s not about the Democrats; it’s about the US. The listener did not need to know, whether the senator is Republican or Democrat, you could tell by the questions asked.
At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I’m saying it anyway; the public is misinformed, ill-advised, and is getting manipulation by the government of the United States. Please don’t take my word for it; in fact, don’t take anybody’s word for anything. When America was being Framed, good intentions were abundant. The lawmakers were on the same page, there were differences of opinion, but the goal was the same. Peace, harmony, freedom, and compassion were on the agenda, the times, and the government has changed because people have changed.
