The story came out last night....Trump now hints that he may not participate in the 2020 Presidential debates.
Logic? He doesn't say much.
You would ponder over this? Bias reporters as the moderators. Stupid questions. Audiences made up of 'favorite-players'.
Presidential debates didn't start up until the 1960s and it's been marginally a plus-up for Republican candidates since Reagan.
So what's this all about now? I would suggest that Trump has laid the trap. To get him over to the table....you will have to play by his rules.
Just me guessing but I would think that he will require three central situations:
1. No audience. It'll be a camera crew in one theater, and no one else allowed.
2. The moderator will be a non-journalist. Maybe you could select some Iowa farmer, a Topeka barber, or a retired 1990s Braves pitcher. Trump might shock people by asking that one of the three moderators be a NY City taxi driver, or a Taiwanese-American businessman.
3. The topics will be canned and known by the two candidates for at least 24 hours prior to the debate.
The odds of the journalists and special agenda folks getting around this? Near zero. Because of the biased nature of the past five election debates....most people will agree that they are almost worthless.
Frankly, I've reached a point where if I watch a debate....I will immediately turn the TV off once it concludes, and avoid the dimwit reporters trying to tell me who won or who lost. It's terribly controlled....like some Italian opera, and you just start laughing over their fake nature.

Antisemitism Story
While the impeachment chatter is the number one topic right now....the President went and created a secondary topic which will get him additional negativity....over Antisemitism. It's a curious twist coming up.
So it's mostly rumors, but apparently the Present will expand out the protections against Antisemitism to campus areas. This means that if you went and did something really stupid and labeled this effort at a college in some way Antisemitic....the federal guys would come around and drag you into court.
If he'd stopped there....it might have gone to page two, but then the rumor is....the executive order coming....will make Judaism as a race/nationality as well.....not just a religion.
The hate-speech crowd? Well, they will get all hyped-up over this.
Here's the odd historical part of this story. Way back, 2,000 years ago....the Romans came into the Judah region of the Middle East and were introduced to the Judah people. Rome meant this as a conquering episode, and figured that they've go in with the same strategy and tactics as everywhere else.
The conquering strategy was a miserable failure. The residents of Judah were connected....not by a king, royal council, or laws. They were one society based on their religion, and the 'book' that tended to bind society.
As the first conquering effect failed....Rome went back to the strategy session (involving the Greeks). They returned for a second conquering effort and recognized the religion and the people.....as one single society or race. From that point, Rome gained respect.
All of this may trigger a massive amount of hate-speech but in the end, it's Trump's table because of the 2016 election.

Impeachment: Two Charges?
Yep, just two charges.
So number one....abuse of power, and number two: obstruction of Congress.
In terms of powerful summaries? The obstruction of Congress will be easily fought back with obstruction of the executive government by Congress. The abuse of power? It'll rattle around and be mostly about the Ukraine business, and if Joe Biden was the target of Trump's enthusiastic call with the 'boss' of the Ukraine.
The necessity of Hunter and Joe Biden being called in to provide sworn testimony? Well, that's part of the bigger problem. Both will refuse to play along with the subpoena. Neither will show up, and the impeachment will falter very quickly with that charge.
Great drama? Well, if you got the natural gas company from Ukraine to come over and talk about their board and how Hunter fits into it (for five years)....it might be curious to hear the rest of the story.
I would offer this judgement....Joe Biden's ethical standards won't clear this mess, and he's finished for the 2020 election. It's sad to be in this mess....because of the cocaine-addicted son (Hunter). If Joe hadn't run.....he wouldn't have come into the cross-hairs of Trump's discussions with the Ukraine. He invited this upon himself.
Lousy charges with marginal outcomes.

Number Story
Its an interesting statistic.
The population of the US is around 322-million people (more or less).
Half of the population (161-million) live in 9 states. Yep, just nine states.
Georgia, Texas, NY, California, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Penn and Illinois.
The other 41 states? They make up the other half of the nation's population.
If we dumped the Electoral College? Well, those nine states would be the basic line of politicizing....to entice the majority of those residents to side with X-party.

Trump Impeachment II, III and IV?
Late Thursday, a comment came from a Democrat who said that even if Trump impeachment I fails....this will only lead to II, III and possibly more.
I sat and pondered over this.
In general, this impeachment episode will be handled to the Senate around Christmas week (assuming it passes the House with 218 votes). The Seante won't pick up the impeachment until 6 or 7 January. You can figure that within 30 days....it will end, and likely be voted 'down'.
So the odds of a second impeachment coming up? Presently, I'd say it's near a 99-percent chance.
But here's the big problem lingering. The news media will have burnt every single bit of enthusiasm to get the public all pepped up, and once that January episode ends, the public enthusiasm will drop like a rock.
So getting into March, with new evidence? More than likely. So more hearings in the House will occur, and by May....I would anticipate a new series of charges to be done by the House.
The Senate? They will take this....spend two weeks on this....with half as much interest by the general public, and vote it down.
So by August, another impeachment hearing period will start, and run through the same results....with impeachment handed to the Senate by late November (after the election).
Results achieved by the Democratic House members over a 2-year period? Mostly nothing, and this will be long discussed by the public. Some might even go and suggest that we need two Houses....one doing strictly impeachment around the clock, and the other doing business related to the nation and the public.
At some point, a Fox news reporter will rename the Democratic Party to the Impeachment Party, and this will be laughed about for weeks.
The saving 'grace'? Well, assuming Trump and heavy House numbers go to the Republicans in November....it all ends in early January, and the nation can finally go back to work.
As for the news media and trust? I would suggest that the networks will be tired of the message and confirming a lack of trust among the general public. Sad times.....if you think about everything talked about.

That Pelosi Moment
House Speaker Pelosi had finished up her comments late yesterday, and then started to proceed to walk off the stage....when this reporter asked if she 'hated' Trump.
She's almost off the stage....maybe two more steps and she's clear and done.
But this hate-question draws her back....oddly enough.
Blood pressure up? Yeah....way up. She turns and points to this guy (front row) and she's doing a lot of finger-pointing at him. Eyes twitching? Well....yeah, this is another odd part of this 90-second tirade.
There's at least a dozen 'hand-signals' involved, and direct eye-to-eye contact. At the 30-second point, she's maneuvered herself back to the podium to start another comment or two on the President.
There at the podium, she then delivers another dozen-odd hand-signals. Eyes still twitching.
Medicated? My humble opinion is that she is on some type of medication and this 90-second situation was just the stress and medication acting together.

What Happens if 'Fantastic Five' are Subpoenaed to the Impeachment?
The 'Fantastic Five'? Shifty, Pelosi, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and the whistle-blower.
Well....I think all will subject the subpoena to the court system, and draw this out for six to eight weeks....meaning that the Impeachment is stalled in the Senate.
If the Supreme Court says they must appear? They will simply say nothing and use their lack of speech to motivate the situation.
McConnell will then say the Impeachment can't move on, and settle it with a end-vote.....no impeachment.
A one-star ending to all the drama? Well....yeah. McConnell will go and say that they could have brought the house down (like the fat lady singing)....if they'd just spoke up.
The public perception of this type of ending? I would suggest that people will sit there for days....admiring how this subpoena was the 'golden goose', and this really turned into a Sugar Bowl game between a number 88-ranked NCAA team and a 104-ranked team.
A drama without drama? More or less.
But here's the one odd thing. Trump can pick up the phone, call the Ukraine on the day after the impeachment is tossed out in the Senate, and do the exact same thing all over again.....this time with forty 'weasels' in the room (maybe even that US Army Lt Col). He might even call Nancy Pelosi over to the White House, and let her listen into the call.
