The house had a trial and offered to the senate 2 articles of impeachment. If their case was overwhelming then why do we need more witnesses and documents? There is no crime in the articles which is the standard set by the constitution. With a two thirds vote required in the Senate to impeach, it is obvious this will never happen. This is political theater and Adam Schiff is in the starring role.

A global survey was taken and 56% of the people said capitalism does more harm than good. Are they crazy? Hunger has been nearly eliminated, infant mortality has been cut in half, and GDP has grown exponentially making the entire world a better place. It is only because of capitalism. What will you replace it with, Socialism? Socialism creates starvation, chaos, and violence. The biggest problem is not an economic system but the human heart.

The first day of the Senate Impeachment Hearing was given to setting up the rules. Many of the rules are perfect for a Junior High classroom. The Ukraine phone call lasted 30 minutes. Each side of the trial will get 3 days for opening arguments. I have a few rules to add that would add a little flavor to the process. I would start with vagina hats.

Davos, Switzerland is the place where the annual World Economic Forum is held. At the same time will be the Senate impeachment hearings. It is a meeting for the elite of the elites. They all arrive in their private jets to lecture the rest of us on climate change. Trump will be Trump and speak on behalf of individual freedoms and condemn the ideas of collectivism, socialism, and the dangers of global solutions. Trump and Thunberg should dance!

Elizabeth Warren is on record saying that Facebook should be broken up. In other words, government would have to invade this private company. Big government (socialism) vs freedom and individual rights is the issue for the 2020 election. I hate much about Facebook – privacy abuses, collection and marketing of personal info, silencing free speech to name a few examples. But governments roll is in protecting consumers, not taking over companies.

The impeachment of Donald Trump is not something to be celebrated, but mourned. You don’t slap each other on the back and give out ceremonial ink pens signed by Nancy Pelosi at a funeral. And now we have the report from the GAO (Government Accounting Office) that Trump broke a law with his phone call with Ukraine. It is the “Impound Control Act”. There is nothing impeachable.

Since the introduction of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Green New Deal, the democrat presidential candidates and the press have joined the call. It is supposed to be great for the economy, create better jobs, and better paying jobs. If it is so good for the economy, then why will it cost taxpayers trillions of dollars for years? It is unrealistic and unscientific.

I fell asleep during the debate. That may be the best thing for the democrats. We are all tired of Donald Trump and boring would be nice for a few years. This debate was important since it is the last one before the Iowa Caucus. I missed Andrew Yang. There was no clear winner and Tom Steyer should go home.

Iran has admitted, to their pain, that they shot down that Ukrainian airline. I believe them when they say it was an accident, almost half of the passengers were Iranian. Democrats (Jackie Speier), the press, world leaders, the mullahs, and others want desperately to blame Trump. He is to blame and be thanked for the citizens of Iran protesting in the streets against their own regime of mullahs and the Iranian Islamic Republic.

Quid Pro Quo has to be the top political phrase of 2019. The call between Ukraine’s President Zelensky and Trump has been the reason for impeachment with the possible bribery. The greatest example of a quid pro quo in our history is the presidential election of 1824, and what is known as the “Corrupt Bargain”. Andrew Jackson won the popular vote and the electoral college, yet John Quincy Adams became president.
