Trump Where Things Stand In My World

It doesn't matter what Donald says or does people have made up their minds to dig in. Same goes with this impeachment business. Far as I'm concerned whether it's tomorrow or next year members of the House send impeachment to the Senate we are going to have the same outcome. Dead on arrival. There's not a doubt in my mind. So let's stick a fork in it already. Leave it up to voters next year.

My impression is we have two kinds of people. Those who love Trump's trash talking bulling and those disgusted by it.

Frankly I'm not impressed by any of the Democratic candidates running. Each seem to being trying to outdo the other with their extremist ideas on liberalism. Trump and his supporters on the other hand would gladly walk into the gates of hell doing whatever it takes if it meant the end to Democrats. Ought to be interesting to see, come 2020, what kind of nation we become.

As for me...
I'm hoping, as unlikely as it may be, this nation will come to it's senses. I've said this hundreds of times. I'm not liberal nor conservative. I have my own ideas about how things should be. Neither party seems to fully support my views. Here are a few. Immigration: Allow a generous amount to temporarily work here on jobs Americans don't want. Farms, etc. Reinstitute the 'DACA' program. Allow a great deal more for 'refugee' status. Our main focus should be instantly deport anyone breaking our laws Others who've kept their nose clean receiving less priority. Bring back those families who've been deported because their spouse was killed in action while in the military serving this nation in hopes of earning a green card.

Reinstate our agreements Trump has broken with Iran, trade, aid, etc. To my way of thinking this creates distrust of us.

A president who speaks in support of our intelligence, state department, treasury, government programs and officials instead of casting doubt. A president should be a cheerleader not a critic of his own nation.

The U.N.'s 187 member states just passed, for the 28th year, calling for an end to the U.S. embargo on Cuba. Why the hell is Cuba considered an adversary when Trump butters up to the likes of North Korea who poses much greater threat. There are less restrictions on Americans visiting Iran, Libya, Syria, Russia or China. This makes no sense,

Someone who is for MORE regulations. Not less. But the right kind. Not ones making things so complex no one can avoid getting excessive fines. A few examples are regulations which disallow drug companies to endlessly renew patents preventing generic drugs to come to market. Disallow food ingredients till they're deemed safe by a independent test group instead of the company manufacturing them. Dittos with the airline industry and chemical manufacturers. Still other regulations requiring communications companies to end these robo calls. Which they can do if it were not for the profits they realize from them. These to name but a few.

Someone elected who would support placing a dollar limit on all campaigns. It's not as hard as they'd have us to believe. Let's say $50 million on presidential campaigns. Two or three million on congressional candidates. Nobody could exceed those limits equally. I'd even go far as require equal TV & radio airtime. It wouldn't matter if a individual candidate got 10 minutes or 10 hours. But it would require the matching amount of airtime to all those registered who are opposing them. I bet we'd see a hellva lot less of them.

I would support a candidate who favors income equality. I'm not in favor of a minimum wage as these current candidates describe one. Since each area is different I'd prefer a system which reflects the local economy. One which requires employers to pay 80% of the poverty rate in a given area. No way does $15 an hour go far in NYC. On the other hand $15 may negatively impact a businesses somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
These are just a very few of the issues I'd rather be talking about rather then Trump getting impeached or not. Assuming we will survive Trump's tenure I highly doubt anyone is going to address the positions I care about. All this extremisms coming from both sides turns me off. More in this upcoming election then some others I'm...

That's where I stand at the moment

    1. Can Schiff still block witnesses from testifying
      Yes otherwise Republicans will turn this into a zoo. Not only delaying hearings but calling Hunter Biden (who is not the subject of the investigation). Schiff himself. There was even talk of Hillary in an attempt to ensnare Obama. Then go after the whistle blower thus intimating anyone who dare go against this administration. These were the same rules Republicans initiated with the Benghazi hearings.

      Whistleblower-- It's like someone calling 911 seeing a robbery across the street. Cops show up and catch them. The store owner identifies them and they have them on CCTV. Thus there's no need to call the neighbor who could be threatened for snitching.

      The Republicans will have this opportunity when it ends up in the Senate unless Justice Roberts (overseeing it in the Senate) rules otherwise.
