The TWO Madame Presidents .



Madame President says that she could beat President Trump again because she did it once.

First you have to keep your eye on what happens with the impeachment inquiry surrounding President Donald Trump. Which isn’t easy when all of it is taking place behind closed doors. Is there is a hidden agenda ? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler have not proposed to do anything illegal or capricious. BUT it seems strange that Pelosi is calling the shots on the inquiry.  Pelosi is the most qualified presidential candidate who could be drafted at the Democratic National Convention. She is the de facto Democratic Party leader,  (1)>>heading the effort to impeach President Trump. AS the de facto leader there is just a vary disquieting thought. On the one hand, the most powerful woman in America had just unequivocally thrown her support behind an official effort to remove the president from office, abandoning her long-standing opposition to such a drastic move. On the other, Pelosi had merely offered her endorsement of a process—an investigation to determine whether to recommend articles of impeachment—that was already under way in the House. But Pelosi is a strange one , she had been prepared to retire after the 2016 election if Hillary Clinton had won the presidency.  Remember that the "theory" is that Clinton lost because of Russia meddling in the election , somehow the Russians  made people vote for Trump. That's why Hillary lost.This has been spun around by the Democratic  left since 2016 , while ignoring that Donald Trump won his office with about 63 million votes nationwide . But she decided to stay on after Donald Trump’s election to ensure there would be a woman at the negotiating table as the other top three congressional leaders are all men. But after the 2018 midterms  that something else is at work . (1.2)>>What if Nancy Pelosi became President , its vary easy create a  (1.3)>>Constitutional Crisis -Constitutional coup d'etat (1.4)>>Besides impeaching Trump for "'High crimes and misdemeanors' has never been understood to be limited to or consigned to things that are crimes in the narrow legal sense"". There is also a chance that Mike Pence is also a target of the Democrat's fury .  Mike Pence takes over, and before he can name his own vice president, he is impeached and removed for his own role in the scandal.  SO we might be looking at Nancy. What might follow could be a double impeachment scenario that would make heads spin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi the president of the United States. After Pence, she's next in the line of succession.   This is one of many compelling reasons the speaker of the House, like any member of Congress, should be nowhere near the line of succession to the presidency. WAIT, the way it is set up , it is vary fishy at the glance . What I am saying is that there is something at work here , that has placed certain "key people" in line , since the 2018 midterm elections last year with the ascension of Pelosi , it  seems more and more to corner Trump against the wall. In fact,  (1.5}>>IF there was never any quid pro quo and the witness claimed that President Trump demanded compliance but couldn’t point to anything in the transcript or anything else in the call that qualifies as any demand at all. The lack of quid pro quo and demonstrated bias of the leakers is the reason Dems have to do this in secret and deny Republicans participation by restricting what they can even ask the ‘witnesses.” Though Pelosi is vague on just how much longer the inquiry will go on, she expressed concern about Americans’ appetite for a lengthy process. “How much drama can the American people handle?” she asked. “Where does the law of diminishing returns set in? Where is the value added not worth the time?” TheDemocrats have fired a salvo — their largest and potentially their last —
(2)>>Joe Biden drops out of the Race ???Mr. Biden leads the field in the polls and has proved himself a fund-raising powerhouse by collecting $21.4 million in his first two months in the race. BUT with the impeachment looming there is something problematic . You be guessing by now that he is going to get the Democratic nomination anyway , the others should be droping out of the race with the exception of Tulsi Gabbard . It is ironic that the media is playing the same game as they did in 2016 . "The View" co-host Joy Behar argued that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., as well as other 2020 Democratic contenders, should clear the way for former Vice President Joe Biden to grab the party's nomination. It MAY BE TRUE as Trump Tweeted that  claimed the Democratic Party was pulling strings for Biden,  in which he said the DNC was manipulating the race to favor the former vice president over Bernie Sanders, the progressive senator and other primary front-runner. [ It might be added here that rigging the nomination just happened 3 years earlier see shorturl.at/fkxTW  ]  For what was 2016 , there’s a larger context that is more important than what happened at the DNC and is getting lost in the back and forth over joint fundraising agreements and staffing power. The Democratic Party — which is a different and more complex entity than the Democratic National Committee, and which includes elected officials and funders and activists and interest groups who are not expected to be neutral in primaries — really did favor Hillary Clinton from early in the campaign, and really did shape the race in consequential ways. Baffling as 2020 is it reeks of Deja Vu , The irony is that Sanders was a prime beneficiary of this bias. The losers were potential candidates like Vice (2.1)>>President Joe Biden, Sen. Warren who are now back in the race .Hillary wants to be appointed President. She would get in the race, but can’t hack it physically. Biden is just in the race to try and head off corruption charges. Although Hillary Clinton has not entered the 2020 presidential race, a new poll shows that she would be a leading contender among potential Democratic voters.The poll carried out by Harvard Harris found that 19 percent of people would support former Vice President Joe Biden and 18 percent would support Clinton for the nation’s highest office, according to the Washington Examiner.


"Only one thing is keeping Hillary out of the 2020 race"

Clinton did indeed call Trump an “illegitimate president” on CBS News’s Sunday Morning show sowing the chaos  later calling Tulsi Gabbard as a "Russian Asset ". With ALL that (3)>>HILLARY CLINTON is , she is a thorn in the Democratic party  . While we might think of Nancy Pelosi as the "Next President" after the Trump coup . Mrs . Clintion is tryiong to make a second round to the White House. She gave a few "hints" to Trump via Twitter. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday shot back at President Donald Trump after he taunted her about entering the 2020 presidential election, saying, “Don’t tempt me.” “Don’t tempt me. Do your job,” Clinton saidThe terse comment came in response to an earlier tweet from Trump that said, “I think that Crooked Hillary Clinton should enter the race to try and steal it away from Uber Left Elizabeth Warren.” She MAY NOT BE JOKING !!! The Washington Post reports two sources close to Clinton say she’s still considering entering the 2020 race for the White House, potentially setting up a rematch with President Donald Trump.Although Hillary Clinton has not entered the 2020 presidential race, a new poll shows that she would be a leading contender among potential Democratic voters.Clinton entering the 2020 race would do the party an enormous disservice. Further, given that there are still currently 19 Democratic candidates vying for the nomination, Clinton’s ability to re-clinch the nomination is a long shot at best. The Democratic party has moved on—only 18 percent of Democrats want her to run again, according to Rasmussen Reports—and Hillary knows it. She herself observed in March, “I’m not running, but I’m going to keep on working and speaking and standing up for what I believe.” So she will continue to throw shade at Trump. If her recent activity is any sign, then she’s becoming more aggressive about deploying Trump’s favorite medium, Twitter, against him.There is still time for Hillary Clinton and Michael Bloomberg to enter the 2020 presidential race, as a field of weak candidates like it was in 2016 . Hillary  has been running since the day she lost the election. She sees her herself as too big to put up with all these Clown Car debates. Once they have ended, here comes Hillary Again!


NOTES AND COMMENTS: 
(1)>>heading the effort to impeach President Trump. The transcript states that President Trump said:“I would like you to do US a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it.” Emphasis on “US” is mine, added because that President Trump was asking for a personal favor. Honest Americans want to know more about Dems/DNC/Hilly colluding with corrupt Ukrainians to impact the 2016 election and it’s President Trump’s responsibly to ask for assistance finding out.President Trump goes on to talk about “Crowdstrike” and “the server,” and says: “I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine.” President Trump continues: “The server, they say Ukraine has it.”That section of the conversation end up with President Trump saying: “... but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do - it’s important that you do it - if that’s possible.”President Trump never asks Ukraine President Zelensky to look into Biden’s admitted corruption as any favor to President Trump or any favor at all. Much later in the conversation President Trump states that “a lot of people want to find out about that” (“that” being how Biden got the prosecutor fired to protect his son since he’s on video bragging about it) and says to Zelensky “whatever you can do” to assist with the (already ongoing) investigation so we can know what happened “would be great.”In fact, there was never any quid pro quo and the witness yesterday claimed that President Trump demanded compliance but couldn’t point to anything in the transcript or anything else in the call that qualifies as any demand at all. The lack of quid pro quo and demonstrated bias of the leakers is the reason Dems have to do this in secret and deny Republicans participation by restricting what they can even ask the ‘witnesses.”I’m going to enjoy watching the jackwads who’ve lapped up every tinfoil hat conspiracy— from the fake removal of the MLK bust from the Oval to the fake Russian hack of the Vermont power grid to the fake 25th Amendment/Emoluments hooey to the fake Stormy Avanatti campaign finance crap to the fake Russians everywhere dung to fake Mueller collusion nonsense to fake obstruction lunacy to now and this fake Ukraine quid pro quo— line up to lap up some more MSM manure.(1.2)>>What if Nancy Pelosi became President . In 1792, the Presidential Succession Act deemed the Senate’s president pro tempore as next in line after the vice president. Then, in 1886, Congress expanded the succession list by adding Cabinet members. In 1947, President Harry Truman signed a new version of the Presidential Succession Act, making the House Speaker second in line. In 2006, with the passage of the Patriot Act, the Homeland Security secretary was made 18th in line.If Trump and Pence are swept away by conviction or resignation, then Pelosi becomes president under the law. Under the 25th Amendment, and with the consent of Congress, she can then appoint a vice president of choosing, just as Richard Nixon appointed Gerald Ford after Spiro Agnew pleaded guilty to tax evasion and resigned. This is how, in the great irony of ironies, Nancy Pelosi could become president of the United States.(1.3)>>Constitutional Crisis. In the divisive, chaotic political climate pervading the US, it can be difficult to know what it really means when people suggest there's a "constitutional crisis." And the truth is there's no single or simple definition. Yet Pelosi said even a constitutional crisis is not grounds to launch impeachment hearings against the president before Nadler and the heads of the other investigative committees are able to gather more evidence — and convince more voters — that such a step is necessary. There were 55 Republicans and 45 Democrats. Not enough to impeach, I believe. I think they require 2/3 to convict, but back in those days, Senators didn't blindly vote along party lines as much as they do now, and if Clinton's popularity had been low and their own re-election had been in jeopardy, they would have impeached him. Incidentally, that's why Trump is being savaged 24/7 in the Ministry of Truth press: if his popularity numbers drop to the low 30s, then the Democrats believe they'll embolden the Republicans to vote to impeach with them. (1.4)>>Besides impeaching Trump for.  Do you know that if the House does Impeach Trump and it goes to the Senate, there is NOTHING that forces McConnell to schedule a trial?And for that matter, Dershowitz argued the other day that the Founding Fathers' intention of allowing Impeachment solely for "high crimes and misdemeanors" means some kind of GRAND crime, like treason or bribery -- not the petty BS that Trump is being accused of. According to Dershowitz, it is unconstitutional to impeach "over a ham sandwich."  But that’s not all. Americans are also now learning that the Obama administration asked foreign governments — including Ukraine — for their help in getting dirt on Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign as part of the whole Russian collusion hoax(1.5}>>IF there was never any quid pro quo. Please stop using the Latin phrase “quid pro quo” regarding the impeachment inquiry. Most people don’t understand what it means, and in any case it doesn’t refer only to a crime. Asking for a favor is not a criminal act; we frequently demand things from foreign countries before giving them aid, like asking them to improve their human rights record. Yet when the impeachment shoe was on the other foot, it was Democrats who lined up to condemn the use of a constitutional tool as an illicit insurrection. The same "coup" language used so promiscuously by overwrought defenders of Trump today was used just as loosely by agitated backers of Bill Clinton then."This partisan coup d'etat will go down in infamy in the history of this nation," thundered Nadler in 1998, as the House of Representatives — then led by a Republican majority — debated whether to impeach the 42nd president. Ed Markey, who at the time represented Massachusetts' 7th congressional district, was just as appalled: "We are now on the threshold of overturning the people's choice for President," he said. "We are permitting a constitutional coup d'etat which will haunt this body forever."Joe Biden, Charles Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Bernie Sanders — all of them made the exact same argument against the impeachment of a Democratic president that Team Trump is making against the impeachment of a Republican: that only the voters should decide who sits in the Oval Office, and anything that overrides their will is tantamount to mutiny.   (2)>>Joe Biden drops out of the Race ??? Trump's  "sleepy Joe" name calling may have originated with the fact that in 1988 dropped out of the race,  his candidacy was cut short by accusations he had plagiarized material and exaggerated his academic record. These “character issues” re-surfaced in partisan social media posts that proliferated after Biden launched his 2020 presidential bid in April 2019.In the summer of of 1987, when he officially declared his candidacy, he positioned himself as an opponent of “materialist values, declining industries, drug abuse, inadequate schools and kids abandoned to poverty,” per TIME. The rap against him was one that’s continued to haunt him, but which he’s often shown doesn’t have to hold him back: the headline on that story wondered whether he talked too much.Within weeks, he announced that he was no longer in the race. It was a conclusion that had been predicted, in a way, by an Iowa activist who’d spoken to TIME the year before: “He might just talk himself out of the nomination.”(2.1)>>President Joe Biden.  "real quid pro quo has been revealed by Biden himself, on video, at a Council on Foreign Relations event."There was no real quid pro quo. Biden was carrying out US government policy. The European Union and the International Monetary Fund all said that the prosecutor should be removed because he wasn't investigating corruption.I'll believe the numerous fact checks of the allegation, not the guy who has lied to the American people over 12,000 times.Top Mitt Romney adviser Joseph Cofer Black joined Burisma’s board of directors while Hunter Biden was also serving on the board.He became director of the National Counterterrorism Center from 1999 to 2002.He was in Romney’s campaign as a “special adviser” on Romney’s Foreign Policy and National Security Advisory Team. It's common to have people on boards of directors with no expertise in that area. Biden was recommended by his business partner who was already on the board. Prominent Americans and Europeans were chosen to give the company credibility.The New York Times had an article claiming that Ukraine stopped their own investigation of Manafort and stopped cooperating with Mueller because they were afraid Trump would stop militaryaid.Apparently that fear wasn't without merit. The senators wrote to Ukraine asking if this was true.The Obama administration didn't asked foreign governments for their help in getting dirt on Donald Trump.The dossier wasn't used to launch criminal investigations into the Trump camp. The investigation began before the dossier.  Barack Obama repeatedly discouraged Joe Biden from running for the presidency to clear the path for Hillary Clinton, the former US vice president has claimed.  And Mr Biden even reveals suspicions that Mr Obama gave an “explicit commitment” of support to Mrs Clinton, believing she was best placed to secure his legacy.   According to David Brock, Vice President Biden will not run because “he’ll realize that at this point in his career, he can go out with everyone’s respect and esteem". Does this mean that Hillary Clinton, having lost what was supposed to be hers in 2008, is running again because she realizes that at this point in her career, she has not earned everyone's respect and esteem. Biden supported the 0bama agenda, since he is partially responsible for it, so it would be quite amusing to hear Clinton running again. Joe! We all love a good comedy.(3)>>HILLARY CLINTON.  Steve Bannon, he was furtively attempting to incite a populist revolution in Europe, only to be rejected from the continent’s thriving nationalist networks. But Donald Trump’s exorcized White House adviser resurfaced Monday evening on Fox Business with the bold claim that “crooked” Hillary Clinton is attempting to shoulder her way back into the political arena. “She is running. She’s just trying to decide how to fit her way in,” he told Fox Business Monday evening, predicting that she could take over the centrist lane from Joe Biden.
