Trump Polls Higher?

Posted By Mel Maki

Looks like last Wednesday's Gallup shows Trump at 45, 3 points higher than Obama was at the same time. Also 6 points higher than when Pelosi opened the impeachment inquiry!

The Pause

Posted By Mel Maki

Pelosi knows she will lose in the Senate. She is stuck. If she continues she will lose. For now her best move is to stall. Do nothing and hope that somebody can come up with something. Anybody have a suggestion for her?

Did you notice which poll that was? This is the kind that depends completely on which words were used and how they used them in the question. If Pelosi thought she had enough she would have continued forward. She knows she does not have enough on Trump.

The Pause

Lindsey Graham said the Democrats are treating impeachment as an open bar tab. Time to cut them off, take their car keys away (put GOP in control of the House) and end this insanity.

The Pause

This whole thing is just buried in political bs. Hunter having that position so clearly smells funny. There is nothing wrong with Trump asking Ukraine to look into it. If Hunter was a Repub and his dad had a high office a million Dems would be screaming about it. But Trump can't ask about it because if Hunter is dirty it would help Trump politically!
People yelling, "The claim Hunter did wrong has BEEN THOROUGHLY DEBUNKED." should slow down. Possibilities of Hunter committing crimes is being investigated.

The House impeached Trump because, "There is plenty of evidence." 
Now they are looking for evidence and this pause could give them time to get evidence!

Trump Polls Higher?

How many that gained 10 or 15 thousand will credit Trump?  Some will claim it would have been the same under Warren or Sanders. Even Warren's promise to read the names of murdered trans-gender people every year will be worth more to some. But yes, if a Dem was president I would have to admit the president deserved credit.

You have been more faithful to the Dems than I have been to the Republicans.

Breaking News: The Hit!

Posted By Mel Maki

How could anybody think giving them billions of dollars in cash (if they promise to behave) would have even a 5% chance of working? Did the politicians know it was BS but thought their stupid base would believe it and that was good enough?
Maybe some convinced themselves cash would work. Well, you have to try something and doing nothing is worse?

I think Iran will probably attempt to retaliate, but they got a pretty good hit that I doubt they thought would happen.  

They have been weakened by the Sanctions in place and I don't necessarily believe we will get hit hard. They might attack Saudi Arabia for all we know.  

This rocket attack by us proved to them one thing, we have the intelligence and capability to get them wherever they hide.  Its just a matter of the will to do it on the part of politicians in Wash.  

This was LONG overdue IMO.  I'm glad to see that we did.  

What isn't surprising is the accolades that are NOT being given to Pres. Trump and his admin. by the mainstream media. 

Had this been an action taken by Obama, the leftist press would have been GIDDY and they would have praising for weeks on end how amazing it was that Obama was able to get this fiend by using such precision weaponry, and excellent intelligence work.  

That is a certainty.  

This was a great move by Donald Trump and his cabinet.  
Yep,. they knew we had the capability but thought the more liberal mindset had enough sway in this country to prevent any action like this.

Bolton Puts the Screws To Moscow Mitch...

Posted By Mel Maki

Russ, I think Dems are putting quite the spin on that phone call. Many of us just do not agree with the way the Dems are spinning it, that's all. To nail Trump for something like that you need some kind of naive, Boys Scout take on US politics. Every president would be tossed out if that was all that was needed. You can really listen to Schumer and Schiff with a straight face? This is completely political.
