WELCOMING ANOTHER YEAR. More politics .

WELCOMING ANOTHER YEAR.
More politics . For January we are going to expect the Government Shutdown to continue . Its real mess everyone! Washington D.C. is like a cracked egg . With the Democrats taking power with Nanci Pelosi , the whole "focus" of the elected representation is going after President Trump. The midterm elections brought an end to a period of one-party rule in Washington. In January, Donald Trump will face a newly empowered House Democratic majority eager to take him on. The incoming Democratic committee chairs have vowed rigorous oversight of Trump and his administration. Armed with committee gavels, they will now have the power and resources to pursue investigations, issue subpoenas and compel testimony.Trump in response has threatened to adopt a “warlike” posture, signaling a tumultuous end to an already-volatile first term. The issue of political instability is vary high.    In January, Cummings will become one of the Democrats’ chief investigators into the Trump administration.He describes his approach as having “two tracks”. One track will scrutinize the executive branch, including whether Trump has profited from the presidency; a decision to add a citizenship question to the US census; and hush payments made to women with whom Trump allegedly had affairs. A second track will focus on reforms such as overhauling the US postal service and lowering prescription drug pricesCummings has been wary of calls to impeach Trump. Rather than issuing subpoenas “like somebody’s handing out candy on Halloween”, the Democrat says he prefers a more judicious approach. Democrats in the House unveiled two bills Monday to fund shuttered government agencies and put hundreds of thousands of federal workers back on the job. They planned to pass them as soon as the new Congress convened Thursday, one of the first acts after Democrats took control, according to an aide who was not authorized to discuss the plan and spoke on condition of anonymity. With other focus , both Democrats and Republicans are going to sink the nation into legal quagmires . The government standing still is a bit frighting , many Americans are oblivious that even on the international front our nation's
respectability his hitting a all time low . The Russians and Chinese are filling the gaps in areas that our nation would take on as part of diplomatic relations. Our elected leaders had made a morass of any hope of a reset with Russia which is sinking under the witch-hunt Mueller investigation virtually wrecking any kind of open communications between the two powers.
Democrats are coming !
In the first two months of the year, the expected Democrats begin making their presidential announcements. Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Sherrod Brown, Jeff Merkley, Amy Klobuchar, Eric Garcetti, Andrew Gillum, and Beto O’Rourke will all throw their hats into the ring. Most of these candidates, however, will be unable to gain much traction with a Democratic electorate divided between moderates, progressives, activists, big business, and big labor. A virtually unknown aspirant, however, will have a stellar, Obama-like night during the first televised debate. The Democrats however are in a "out to get Trump mode" . Democrats say they want to pursue unanswered questions about Russian interference in the 2016 election and end what they call a campaign by House Republicans to undermine Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s continuing investigation. But Democratic leaders also play down Republican predictions that they’re out to impeach the president.When Democrats take a House majority Thursday, they plan to pass legislation to fund eight federal departments through Sept. 30 and reopen the Department of Homeland Security through Feb. 8 while lawmakers negotiate border money. In remarks after the White House briefing, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer challenged Republicans to support the plan — as the Senate GOP did before the shutdown started late last month.
