Careful What You Wish For

Coronavirus, Democrats, emergency, Trump

If there was ever good cover for “the Storm,” then this invitation from Democrats is it:

Senate Democrats lead by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are preparing a letter formally calling for President Donald Trump to issue an emergency declaration to make more than $40 billion available to assist state and local governments’ coronavirus response, according to a Senate Democratic aide.

He’ll probably give them what they’re asking for. But, there’s a wide expanse in an “emergency.” What if he does more?

Democrats, politics, stupid

For decades, the GOP has cherished its role as the stupid party.™ Now, House Democrats ponder claiming it as their own.

House Democrats are grappling with whether to pursue further investigations of President Trump following his acquittal in the Senate, facing both an election in nine months and fresh White House actions that they say demand scrutiny.

Democrats want to look into whether the president improperly influenced the Justice Department’s sentencing recommendation for a Trump confidant, casting Mr. Trump as emboldened by the end of the impeachment process. At the same time, party leaders are eager to focus on pocketbook issues for voters, such as health care, and Democrats are wary of launching another drawn-out fight with the White House that could backfire in November.

Could backfire? After the Mueller report failure, and after the dismal impeachment trial, the American people will not take seriously any new claims about Trump made by these fools. They’d be best to let it go. Then again, they’d be best not to run with any of the candidates they currently offer for President. Just to be safe, the GOP had better do something really dumb, really quick.

The NH Primary – from TPC

Rockin’ in the Granite State: The New Hampshire Primary 2020

Just a quick update to keep things current as to election news – an update on my earlier column on Iowa (sans the music).

Vote free or die, they say in New Hampshire; and that they did. Trump cleaned up handily in the Republican race (yes, they had one of those), drawing out a hefty cadre even though it was patently obvious he would win. The real news was the Democratic primary. 

As an aside, I assume the minor non-parties may have held some sort of contest – or will – but, as the good people have decided that they will only suffer bi-polar (ha!) political control, then the outliers are as worthy of consideration as what the Old Man on the Mountain thinks about his late nose. Boothead Guy, while entertaining, isn’t viable.

THE WHOLE THING AT TPC

2020, Democrats, election, New Hampshire

So many rats and so little intelligence. NH Democrats just can’t decide on who will lose to Trump in November.

“In the past couple months, I’ve made a decision, then changed my mind, then made a decision, then changed my mind,” she said. “So, honestly, it’s right down to the wire.”

That’s the gist of the whole article and debacle. I’m sure they’ll get it right. Democracy and so forth.

Faith in the Election?

Democrats, idiots, Iowa, voting

Some idiots are surprised to learn that their votes do not count.

“I really do feel bad for the people of Iowa,” Sanders said. “What has happened with the Iowa Democratic Party is an outrage. That they were that unprepared, that they put forth such a complicated process, relied on untested technology … There is very little doubt that what happened on Monday night — that complicated process, that is never, ever going to happen again.”

And for some Sanders supporters, the Iowa aftermath confirmed a belief they’ve held since 2016: that the Democratic Party just didn’t want to give their candidate a win.

“I felt like it was expected; no matter what, they weren’t going to let Bernie win,” said supporter Robert Cromer, who traveled to Milford from his home state of New York to see Sanders speak.

It wasn’t just Sanders die-hards who were suspicious. The lack of hard numbers in Iowa on Wednesday night allowed confusion to run amok: Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg declared himself “victorious” before any of the results were released, and Sanders declared victory on Thursday, based on the fact he won the popular vote in the state. Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign openly questioned the validity of the process, after he came in fourth place in the caucuses.

They’re all winners! Yay. And, of course, the voters are losers. But no, just as in 2016, the DNC has no intention of letting Bernie be the nominee. Period. Get this democracy foolishness out of your heads.

“Total Meltdown” in Iowa

2020, Democrats, election, Iowa, politics

The DNC hates Bernie, it’s as simple as that. Robbed in 2016, it’s happening to him again in 2020. The clown show in Iowa:

“They are matching the paper worksheets by hand,” an adviser to one of the top tier campaigns said. The party said only 35 percent of the results were in and none of it was yet verified. “They literally have no verified results right now so we won’t know anything until sometime Tuesday.”

“We have no sense when results might come in,” said Anita Dunn, a senior adviser to Biden. “We are, as other campaigns are, very concerned with what they might release: the alignment numbers are not adding up.”

“It’s a total meltdown,” she added.

They can’t count the votes until after they manufacture them. Bernie, however, released some preliminary info:

ujWo7Hh

About the only thing of real interest is a small number at the bottom. There are 9 honest Democrats in Iowa, as indicated by the number still supporting, at the end of the circus, their only candidate dangerous to Trump.

I still think it’s going to be Warren. Yeah, they may broker the convention, with a possible dark horse by Hills or Michelle, but so what? It’s just as likely that Bernie would keep running as an independent, taking 1/3rd of Democrat voters with him. Trump might not even have to do debates or even campaign beyond a simple Tweet, “Please re-elect me. Thanks.”

The Differences Between the Lines

Asia TImes, Democrats, news, Putin, RT, Russia

Post 3,001 … back on the sad state of world politics. But, this is a story about the stories. There’s a wide gulf of a difference between reporting around the world.

In the US, Drudge, CNN, etc. lamented the sad spectacle of the latest Democratic “debate.” Yeah, TrumpSlide. Elsewhere, the same sources provided lackluster commentary (OH WOW! WHAT?) on the Putin/Medvedev shakeup (again) in Russia. The dynamic duo certainly plots something. What? Other sources speculate in various ways.

RT has a humorous, it’ll-be-okay approach.

The Asia Times sees something familiar – a ploy to keep power for life.

Which is right? Who knows. The point is to get off the standard US right-left charade and make independent assessments. There, that wasn’t so painful, now was it?

Democrats, impeachment, Trump, yawn

Obstruction and ABuse of Power – both subjective and vague. At least they drafted them.

Democrats have moved rapidly since launching their inquiry in late September after a whistleblower complaint about a July 25 telephone call in which Trump sought help from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading contender in the Democratic race to challenge Trump in next November’s election.

Rapidly? They’ve been dragging along since July of 2016! According to a few of the more bold enemy combatants, they plan to impeach Trump again after his reelection next year. Judging from the record, he’ll let them.

 

 

Easy Out for Dems?

censure, Congress, Democrats, impeachment, politics, Trump

Not a bad idea. Therefore, the Dems probably won’t go for it.

Censure would allow the Democrats to move on: Obviously, the Speaker wants to send a strong message to her base that she hears their concerns and is acting on them. But every day that Democrats are not talking about health care is a day that they are slowly but steadily losing the election. The media has a limited attention span, and right now impeachment is king. While impeachment might excite the partisan bases on both sides of the aisle, to the vast middle that isn’t paying attention to the latest revelations that are dripping forth on the front pages of The New York Times, this is time not well spent making the case for their reelections.

Censure would be better for the country than impeachment: What the president did with his Ukrainian call is clearly not impeachable. But it wasn’t a perfect call either. We all know that partisan Democrats have wanted Trump removed from office since the very day he entered it and have come up with a variety of theories as to why he should be thrown out, from invoking the 25th Amendment to the current impeachment imbroglio.

But the American people, in their collective wisdom, through a process designed by the Constitution, put him there, and they have the right to have their voices heard to replace him, should they decide that is the correct path to pursue. Short-circuiting the people is a very bad precedent and would needlessly divide the country for generations.

In 1998, some congressional Republicans and Democrats floated censure as a possible alternative to impeachment and when I worked for the House GOP Leadership, I thought that would have been a more prudent approach.

Part of the challenge with censure is it’s not outlined in the Constitution as a way to punish the president for actions that fall short of high crimes and misdemeanors. And indeed, the only president to be clearly censured by the Congress was Trump’s hero, Andrew Jackson. He was censured by the Senate because he defunded the Second Bank of the United States. That censure was later expunged from the record by Jackson’s Whig allies late in his second term in office.

I would vote against censure of this president, if I were in either the House or the Senate, because I think this has been a partisan exercise not worthy of the Congress. But if I were a congressional Democrat, I would prefer censure to impeachment. Impeachment would be bad for the country but probably good for the president. Censure wouldn’t be nearly as bad for the country nor nearly as good for the president.

But, they no more want to move on than the people have that collective wisdom. This all assumes, of course, that the House goes ahead with the impeachment charade – it’s already losing steam. And, again, it won’t help them with 2020.

Doomberg to the Rescue

2020, Democrats, Doomberg

This won’t help. Add in the DNC one-percenter.

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s essentially limitless budget for his Democratic presidential bid adds uncertainty to an already crowded and unsettled race while increasing the odds of a prolonged nominating battle in a contest that has yet to produce a definitive front-runner.

We’ll have some definitive losers though. Still think it’s Warren, who is sick of freeloaders like DoomBerg.
