Watching the Senate and "Craziness"


Craziness

If you believe what the Trumpublicans are saying, you probably will believe this too:

Trump's Traveling Salesmen

Ivanka and Jared, the 'smart' ones
Before this is over, both Rudy Giuliani and William Barr will come close to being sentenced to prison time (but will not be) and certainly will be disbarred.  The President will not come to their support and will even point out that that is what such perpetrators of acts of corruption deserve.  Both will “flip,” but the President will get still get off, claiming that what he did was a set-up engineered by Ivanka and Jared, both very much smarter than he is.  This lovely couple, when threatened with long jail terms, will also “flip” and the reveal the real conspirators
Hmm.
behind the President’s unconstitutional acts, 
Melania and Barron, who will be convicted of something or other which Nancy Pelosi will figure out and be exiled to Slovenia.  Trump will remarry, his new love being Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who will end up the Republican Presidential nominee in 2024.

Watch the Senate

Senators Collins, Romney and Sasse: Likely to desert Trump!
Seriously, for a moment, watch for the steady erosion of support for the President among Senate Republicans, especially the ones who must to run in 2020.  Like the “end game” in a chess match, they are being backed into a corner by (1) the President’s outrageous behavior in regard to the Kurds and of course (2) his holding back Congressionally-approved arms from Ukraine until they agreed to investigate the Bidens.  (Obstruction of Congress and defying the Constiturion are merely icing on the cake.)


Unlike House districts which are more solidly dominated by one party and not so easily swayed, Senate seats have been determined by a broader statewide electorate since the passage of the 17th Amendment in 1913.  Only 20 Republican votes in the Senate will be needed to confirm any Bill of Impeachment voted on by the House.  Right now there are possibly three or four such votes, but soon there may be more, many more.

Don't Get Me Mixed Up With This Stuff! I Wouldn't Have Him!

Told Ya So

Ex-Foxer Smith
In this blog's Sept. 29 posting, I alerted followers to the possible resignation or firing of anchors at Fox News.  Less than a month later, Shepard Smith, their daytime anchor is gone.  He may have been involved in serving Fox's "Kool Aid" to the gullible, but that didn't mean he drank it himself.  His honest reporting of the Fox News poll showing 51% of Americans agreeable to the House's impeachment inquiry is what probably did him in.
