US Elections

Not Fun and Games

Whether the President seriously warns Putin against interference in our next election is never a private matter between Trump and Putin. This is of utmost national security imperative and critical to deterring further #Russia meddling.
This is undoubtedly and without question, the business of the American people.

POTUS shares a chuckle with a despot who kills. Journalists are not the enemy of the people - We Are The People. Those who would seek to silence the free press are tyrants.

Preposterous POTUS

Has he become a national security threat for stating he would accept foreign intelligence on his political opponents? Is it Democratic?

The President swears to defend the US Constitution but now appears to be welcoming foreign interference in our democratic elections. Is he announcing his scorn for his solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend The United States of America?

POTUS tells ABC News that he has no problem accepting opposition research on any political opponent from any nation regardless that is being provided to him by a foreign power country.

US Constitutional Crisis

The #USA has been slowly approaching a Constitutional crisis and following The US House Judiciary committee holding Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt, the federal government has entered a new phase.

Wannabe dictators become intoxicated by the desire for power and when they start losing, they become increasingly desperate.
President Donald Trump is forcing a showdown with Congress which now ends with the beginning of a Constitutional crisis.

UNITY Seriously?

POTUS is expected to call for unity in his attempt at reset after two years of partisanship deep divide and personal attacks. #SOTU will come with a large serving of partisan divide which could lead to another government shutdown or to an emergency declaration over the #Mexico border, but what about the #Canada northern border? Politically wounded from his federal shutdown, #Trump may face an uphill battle with his agenda.

Will Americans, or the rest of the world buy this White House attempt at turning a new leaf? We’ll have to wait and see, Mr. T.

Blue Wave vs Red Tide

This latest alarming report on climate change must now begin to reverse our inaction. This is the most pressing issue and perhaps the biggest news story of our generation.

While some leaders mock scientific studies and reverse the significant amount of progress which still needs to be made, the future of planet Earth has become a voting issue.

Social Media Grilling

Grilling usually involves a significant amount of direct, radiant heat, and tends to be used for food and now for public figures.

Social Media Executives Testify on Russian Interference in U.S. Elections. Invited are Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg to testified on Russian interference in U.S. elections before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Waiting For Godot

Waiting for Godot is an infamous play in which Vladimir waits for the arrival of someone named Godot who never arrives, and while waiting engages in a variety of amazing discussions.

Everyone knows that politics can sometimes be a difficult venture, but never to conspire against an enemy using foreigners.

Make no mistake about it, Republicans are anxiously analyzing the results of polling in yesterday’s votes in Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Washington, and Ohio.

GOP Strikes At Strzok

Peter Paul Strzok II was the Chief of the Counterespionage Section who led the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server. Strzok rose to become the Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division, the second-highest position in that division. He also led the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.

Purging US Voters

By a 5-4 decision, US Supreme Court Justice Alito reverses the 6th circuit and upholds Ohio's purging of infrequent voters. The state of Ohio has purged 2 million voters since 2011, more than any other state. Black voters 2x as likely as whites to be purged in state's largest counties.

This means it is OK to purge voters from the rolls if they skipped voting a couple of times. Apparently, casting your ballot is no longer a right, but a privilege. This is why GOP lawmakers collaborate with POTUS. They know voter suppression helps them to make elections neither free nor fair.

Blue Horizon Waves

What happens when an administration and their Grand Old Party, which is in control fails to serve We The People? Stay tuned for a blue wave approaching over the horizon.

The message from the billionaire-led donors to @POTUS, @HouseGOP, and @SenateGOP in the Republican-controlled Congress it helped to shape was clear: Pass a tax overhaul, or else. So they did and there lies the problem. They made their bed and now are sleeping in for the time being.
