A Real President would never, ever disagree with investigating the Russians...

...for attacking our election system. He would be behind it 100%. But we don't have a "real President". We have a Russian stooge, it appears?

A real President would not stand in a foreign country and talk down America and our institutions while praising the leader of an adversarial country, as Donald Trump did in Helsinki.

A real President would not call our White House a "dump". It's not good enough for the privileged, I guess?

A real President would not lie every time he opens his mouth. He acts like a big mouth from the World Wrestling Federation.

A real President would be empathetic and compassionate towards our fellow Americans who have experienced disaster and are suffering. Only a sub-human would act the way Donald Trump acts.

A real President would respect our history, our institutions, and our laws. This scofflaw of a President respects none of those. He does not deserve the respect of even one American.

We deserve a real President.

Breaking News for America

You might hate the Democrats. You may loathe the "Libs". But, they have been placed into a point in our history where they may be the only ones to save us?

We still have the Courts. But if they are manipulated and used for partisan reasons, they too, could be at risk. We don't know yet?

It could end up being the Democrats that save our country. Republicans may as well be in Iceland or Antarctica. They are hiding from history.

Everyone knows we have a buffoon in the White House. He is a lying, deceitful, criminal, piece of crap. But, he holds onto power and looks to extend it.

There are people that know secrets about Donald Trump and could step forward and help our country. Most of them are Republicans and they are silent. They are not patriots. They are not courageous people. They are cowards. Don McGahn and Robert Mueller come to mind.

The last bullet in the gun may be the impeachment process. That will be up to the Democrats whether or not to pull the trigger. The Democrats may be the only ones that can save our country from this scourge that has crept over this great land.

Does this latest maneuver by Trump and Barr make impeachment more likely?

He's going after his political enemies.

And he's using the intelligence agencies of the United States to prove them guilty. He's using Barr to do his dirty work.

It is more than likely that they can find selective intelligence to help prove their theories. There is a lot of stuff in intelligence reports.

But, we have to ask.

Why does William Barr get access to all our intelligence in regards to the Russian investigation and the Congress cannot even get the full Mueller report from Barr?

This is getting very serious very quickly.

What is Trump "covering-up"?

First of all, he is covering up the Mueller Report. Much of it has not been seen by Congress or the public.

Second of all, he is covering up his income tax returns and his financial dealings. We have no idea how much business he is doing with adversaries of this nation?

Thirdly, he is covering up his physical condition and his doctors reports. American citizens need to know the physical condition of their president.

Actually, his entire life is a "cover-up". We have no idea what he has been doing with his money over the last 20 years and where he gets it?

He is covering up the many times he has lied to his staff and the times he has asked them to lie for him. For example, why doesn't he want Don McGahn to testify before the Congress. He doesn't want anyone to testify before the Congress.

Because his entire presidency is a "cover-up".

Okay Democrats. Trump says you want to "re-do" the Mueller Report.

What do you say?

What is your response?

Mueller's private testimony: If it was in a transcript?

"I want all of you to take off your Party hats.... I have something to tell you."

"There has been a deep misunderstanding of what happened. First of all, I was asked to end the investigation. We still had work to do."

"Furthermore, we did not clear Mr Trump of 'collusion' or obstruction. We were not hired to look at collusion - we were hired to look at conspiracy between the Russians and anyone in the Trump campaign. We were limited in what we could look at."

"However, with that said, there were well over a hundred incidents of collusion or meetings with the Russians. We showed ten examples of obstruction in the Report, some of them criminal obstruction."

"We did not exonerate Mr Trump from any charges. The Mueller team, to a man, felt that we were obstructed from the very first day of our investigation. It was obvious that Mr Trump did not want to be investigated."

"There are still many issues and questions to be asked, especially on the counter-intelligence front? It is not up to us to recommend or not recommend impeachment and conviction, but we can give you the evidence to make your own decisions."

"We only ask that you look at it in the most clear and sober manner possible. Then, ask yourself, is this the person we want to lead our country? Each and every one of you will need to make that decision from your own moral and patriotic leaning."

"All we can do is give you the facts."

"Democrats need to stop talking about Trump and start talking about issues that affect us..."

We hear that often from news reports. Somebody, somewhere in middle America, wants Democrats to stop talking about Trump and start talking about healthcare and jobs.

That would be nice but, unfortunately, it is not possible.

In fact, the Democratic House has been very busy passing legislation that would benefit the people but then it is sent to the graveyard in the US Senate. Mitch McConnell refuses to take up anything that is not in Trump's interest.

At this time, the only issue that matters is the one sitting in the White House, however much we are tired of it. Does anyone really think we can have a debate about healthcare or jobs or education without the White House taking over and dominating the discussion. We see it everyday.

The reality TV president has a script and he sticks to it everyday. It is all about making him look good and keeping the focus on him. Those that wish to talk about the "issues" are under the illusion that it is possible. So long as Donald Trump is in the White House, everyday will be about Donald Trump.

The only way to escape it is to turn off the TV and ignore the news.

DEFCON 1 for Donald Trump

He has finally blown his stack. He has lost it.

He has now appointed his self-picked lawyer, Mr William Barr, to be in charge of the "Investigation against the Investigators". He has given Barr the unprecedented power to de-classify intelligence from all the intelligence agencies involved in the Mueller investigation.

So the war against his political enemies has begun. He is accusing his political enemies of "treason" and seems to relish the idea of executing them.

Some wondered what would happen when the investigation crossed his "red line"? What would happen when they started to get close to his tax returns and his financial information? What would happen when a couple of judges ruled that he didn't have a leg to stand on?

He seeks to reverse the blame.

Perhaps it was the words of Speaker Nancy Pelosi that drove him over the edge? She has a way of pointing out that the emperor has no clothes. The truth scares the beJesus out of Donald Trump.

Our country is entering a new phase of threats from the White House. Pelosi mentioned that Trump's family and staff might want to stage an intervention for him? That might not be such a bad idea?

Note to Republicans: Bill Barr was not the final word on Mueller Report

Especially since he chose to lie about the contents of the Report. It's a good bet that he never read it. His intent all along was to end the Mueller investigation.

Democrats were intent on taking back the House in 2018 so they could investigate where the Republicans refused to go. They did not agree to end their investigating on the word of William Barr. If Trump and Barr thought they could define the Report in their own words and then bury it so that it would never be seen again, then they made a major miscalculation,

The "cover-up" will not work. Bill Barr cannot be trusted. For his deceitful and dishonorable behavior, he should be impeached. It would send a strong message to the criminals in the White House, in my opinion.

Why Trump was so pissed off for being accused of a "cover-up"?

Because his self-denial had been shattered. He is guilty of a cover-up and he has been called out for it.

Did he really think he could withhold documents, deny witnesses to Congress, deny Congress the right to have a different opinion of the Mueller Report than he or his AG, Bill Barr, and show outright contempt for the first branch of government, and not be accused of a cover-up?

It's a problem he can easily fix. He can release the documents that the Congress is requesting and he can encourage his staff and former staff to cooperate with the Congress. He can decide to tell the truth and be trasparent, rather than acting like a spoiled child.

But he cannot tell the truth.

Because the truth would destroy him and his criminal empire, that he has built on lies and deceptions. Also, it could open him up to criminal penalties. But he hopes to convince his followers that all his criminal activities are the work of Democrats and the fake media, not his own doing.
