It's morning in America. I share Cortes' belief that in light of the economic results we're enjoying, impeachment is pretty much the only card democrats can play. Imagine if congress was actually working to capitalize on the prosperity.

There actually are many stories out there where American companies are finding it hard to hire enough employees ...., almost unheard of...., What a contrast in Trumps economic policies to those being presented by the Democrats now running against him.

... Which is how those workers will make more $$, only this time it will be real gains instead of the artificially induced minimum wage increases.

Which is the major reason why Trump will win an ever bigger re-election in 11 months. |

Maybe a bit off topic, maybe not, I don't know ? News on the economy in the UK... Wasn't sure where to put this news, i could find no place about Brexit or the UK or the election they had over there. But here it is. It looks like our friend Boris has this.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ....... Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party is likely to win a solid majority of seats in Parliament, an exit poll suggested late Thursday — a decisive outcome to a Brexit-dominated election that should allow Johnson to fulfill his plan to take the U.K. out of the European Union next month.
It would also make Johnson the most electorally successful Conservative leader since Margaret Thatcher, another politician who was loved and loathed in almost equal measure.
The survey, released just after polls closed, predicted the Conservatives would get 368 of the 650 House of Commons seats and the Labour Party 191. In the last election in 2017, the Conservatives won 318 seats and Labour 262.
It would be the biggest Tory majority since Thatcher’s 1980s’ heyday, and Labour’s lowest number of seats since 1935.
That result would be a triumph for Johnson and a disaster for left-wing Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who faced immediate calls for his resignation.
Based on interviews with voters leaving 144 polling stations across the country, the poll is conducted for a consortium of U.K. broadcasters and is regarded as a reliable, though not exact, indicator of the likely result. The poll also projected 55 seats for the Scottish National Party and 13 for the Liberal Democrats.
Ballots were being counted, with official results expected early Friday.
A decisive Conservative win would vindicate Johnson’s decision to press for Thursday’s early election, which was held nearly two years ahead of schedule. He said that if the Conservatives won a majority, he would get Parliament to ratify his Brexit divorce deal and take the U.K. out of the EU by the current Jan. 31 deadline.
The poll suggests that message had strong appeal for Brexit-supporting voters, who turned away from Labour in the party’s traditional heartlands and embraced Johnson’s promise that the Conservatives would “get Brexit done.”
“I think Brexit has dominated, it has dominated everything by the looks of it,” said Labour economy spokesman John McDonnell. “We thought other issues could cut through and there would be a wider debate, from this evidence there clearly wasn’t.”

We might wonder what this portends for our up-coming elections. IF it does ..?But it looks like people of the UK have made a pretty clear statement. . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boris Johnson has broken down Labour's red wall with incredible wins across the North of England and Wales With all but one seat declared Boris has won 47 extra seats for the Tories, but Labour has lost 59..
The ecstatic Tory boss said his "stonking" win has given him a "powerful mandate to get Brexit done" as humiliated Jeremy Corbyn vowed to quit.
The results mean Britain's political chaos could finally be over, leaving Mr Johnson with the numbers to finally push his Brexit deal through Parliament in just weeks.
Mr Johnson was applauded and cheered by supporters as he gave a tub-thumping speech in Westminster just after 7am, following the Tories' best election win since 1983.
Thanking the British people for putting their trust in him, he said in echoes of Tony Blair after his 1997 landslide: "We did it, we pulled it off!"We broke the deadlock, we smashed the roadblock and a new dawn rises on a new day." Boris' aide Dominic Cummings said this morning: "After the shock of the referendum MPs and journalists should have taken a deep breath and had a lot of self-reflection of why they misunderstood what was going on in the country but instead a lot of people just doubled down on their own ideas and f****d it up even more. "That's why something like this happens against expectations." www.thesun.co.uk/news/10541284/election-results-boris-johnson-jeremy-corbyn-quits/----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So Britain doesn’t, after all, want to be run by an antisemitic, terrorist-supporting Marxist and his gang of nasty, aggressive, intolerant, historically illiterate Social Justice Warriors who think the only problem with Communism is that it hasn’t been tried properly yet…
Who would have thought, eh?
Mainly, I was thinking about the most important reason why this crushing Conservative victory matters so much: the tears and lamentations of the liberal left.
I’m thinking of Lily Allen, the pop star, who claims to have wept for joy when she read Labour’s manifesto.
And crisp salesman Gary Lineker.
And Care Bear Commies Owen Jones, Ash Sarkar, Aaron Bastani, and Grace Blakeley.
And luvvies like Hugh Grant.
And all those myriad woke grime artistes like Stormzy.
...today is like the morning in June 2016 after the Brexit referendum result came in, and the day in November 2016 when Trump got elected: all the worst people in the world were really, really, really unhappy; while the rest of us couldn’t be more pleased or relieved.www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/12/13/rejoice-rejoice-britain-just-dodged-the-marxist-bullet/ |

If history repeats or maybe COPIES, Labour is busy today drafting impeachment article against Big Bad Boris! Look what's happening in London. Radical leftists are the same everywhere it seems. Blocking streets, defying police orders, violence, hell, they even have the same chants and signs. According to their signs, Boris is evidently a racist, a liar, a xenophobe, and Tory rule needs to be resisted (although they are using the word "defy" instead of "resist"). Oh and I even saw signs that said "Not my Prime Minister." What is it about this generation of leftists, that they refuse to accept the results of fair elections? Or, in other words, will of the majority of the voters? |

Professor, when you ask why that happens, I think you're still not taking into account the left's overwhelming feelings of intellectual superiority, as well as social and political enlightenment. When they lose an election, it can only be because of tampering, ignorance or antiquated social and political beliefs. They always know better, therefore the results are invalid as far as the general good is concerned, and they must be resisted or overturned.

I've seen example after example where the left's attitude is one of their perceived moral and intellectual superiority. I even saw one case in the Episcopal Church, concerning an openly gay in a gay relationship being named a bishop. The battle split that church apart, but the liberal wing actually said out loud "We know better, and many will resist this, but eventually they will come to accept it, and realize that we are right." Not an exact quote, but as near as I can recall it. We see the same things today in the movies, and TV, and commercials. Extreme liberal values are seen everywhere, (in, I believe, much more frequency than in real life), with the obvious intention of making us eventually just accept it as normal. |

Liberals are terrorists, they're just proving that again. Mob rules, moronic terrorists from Hell. If they impeach Trump for bad hair, he has no defense. He may just be out on his ass. In todays environment, it may be acceptable to impeach leaders with bad hair ... Boris, Trump, Kim Jong Il .. or Un or Oof whatever the north korean dictator goes by... ONE good thing that may come of the bad hair deal LOL IF it is allowed in places like North Korea of course ? Can dictators be impeached ? Probably not LOL |

Its just not good times for Democrats.... seriously, it really is "impeachment" or bust for these nuts.... this is CNN !!! Clinck the link and watch the headline video on the present polling numbers..., the CNN guys are like WTF MELTDOWN DUH HUH !! CNN Poll: US economy receives its best ranking in nearly 20 years
www.cnn.com/2019/12/20/politics/cnn-poll-economy-2020-matchups/index.htm
(CNN)As 2019 comes to a close, the US economy earns its highest ratings in almost two decades, potentially boosting President Donald Trump in matchups against the Democrats vying to face him in next year's election, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
Overall, 76% rate economic conditions in the US today as very or somewhat good, significantly more than those who said so at this time last year (67%). This is the highest share to say the economy is good since February 2001, when 80% said so.
Almost all Republicans (97%) say economic conditions are good right now, as do 75% of independents and 62% of Democrats. Positive ratings are up across parties compared with August of this year, when 91% of Republicans, 62% of independents and 47% of Democrats said the economy was in good shape.
America's housing market is coming back to life just in time to boost the 2020 economy
Looking ahead, nearly 7 in 10 expect the economy to be in good shape a year from now (68%), the best outlook in CNN polling since December 2003. The new finding includes 63% who say things are good now and will continue to be good next year, while just 9% say they economy is currently good but will turn south in 2020.
