Double standards in American politics? Maybe!
A story broke recently about Trumps alleged s*xual misconduct against a woman.
Let's pretend for a minute, that a similar story broke 10 years ago, but the accused was Barack Obama. Some of you will go "But this isn't relevant" - I assure you it is!
Let's say that a woman came forward, accusing Barack Obama of sexually assaulting her in a dressing room. Same situation as E. Jean Carroll describes with Trump. Exactly the same situation.
Obama has the same reaction as Trump: Comes out, denying the story. Saying it's a made-up statement, because the person is trying to sell a book, and will do ANYTHING to get that book more press and hype.
Alright, the scene is set. Obama has been accused of raping a woman in the eighties.
What would the reaction be? I can guarantee that EVERY single Republican member of Congress, Senate and across the United States would DEMAND Obama be impeached and put in jail for the rest of his life. Why? Because he is black. It's as simple as that.
The US Penal system is designed to incarcerate blacks. Black people are 3.6 times more likely than white people to be incarcerated, even for small misdemeanors. We recently saw the treatment of black Americans with that 4 year old girl, who walked out of the Dollar Store with a doll, that she didn't pay for. The police SWAMPED the area, guns drawn yelling "Get out of the f*cking car", and "I will put a cap in your dome". Really, that's what they said. Video evidence here:
All this for an unpaid doll.
There is also a story about a black gentleman, who was facing an arrest when he was spotted picking up trash at the dorm where he lived. The cop in question has since quit the police force.
I am not saying that every single white cop in the US is a racist, but there are a few out there. A few hundred of them, are members of groups called “White Lives Matter” and “Death to Islam Undercover.”, just to name a few.
What will it take for those cops in America to be less racist? What will it take for racism to be COMPLETELY gone? You can never truly stop or kill racism, which kills a bit of me every single day. There are also cops out there, who are loved by the black community. Cops like Tommy M Norman, from Little Rock, Arkansas. You might know him as Social Media Cop, and he is by far the shiniest example of how a cop SHOULD interact with the community.
But for now, the racial tension in America is, sadly, rising.

Will Donald Trump really cure cancer?
A few days ago, Joe Biden said, that if he was elected President, "we will cure cancer". I read a lot of people mocking that idea.
In Orlando, at Trumps re-election campaign launch, the sitting President promised, that "we will cure cancer".
Does that mean that Trump is "stealing" other candidates promises? Does he REALLY want to cure cancer? What will the medical industry in the US think of this?
He wants to put American astronauts on the surface of Mars, which will cost a LOT! I kind of doubt if Trump knows how far away Mars is, because he tweeted "For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!"

I will look forward to this presidential campaign! Both Trumps and whoever gets the Democratic nominee!

President Trump Draws Record Crowd & Sets New Fundraising Record On First Day Of 2020 Campaign
President Trump drew a record crowd of 20,000 enthusiastically cheering supporters yesterday to hear his official announcement that he will be running for a second term next year. Thousands had to be turned away as the stadium was filled to capacity for this record breaking historical event. Contrast this with Joe Biden who had about 85 people attending his announcement.
In less than 24 hours after his announcement, President Trump’s supporters had donated a record $24.8 million to his campaign, more than the top four Democrat candidates raised in the 24 hours after their announcements combined.
The fake socialist propagandist “news” media once again proved that it has nothing to do with news and everything to do with pushing the agenda of the Democrat party by not covering the event: not covering the historical announcement by the President of the United States about running for a second term. They call themselves “news” organizations? WHAT A BUNCH OF FAKES, PHONIES AND FRAUDS!
CNN was one of the few leftist fake news networks to cover it and they cut away after only 6 minutes when President Trump called them out as being on the list of fake news organizations. They proved it by that move. Message to CNN, how about you report the news and let your viewers decide who is right?
It’s clear that the fake media propagandists, and the Democrat Party that writes their scripts, felt threatened by the enormous show of support for President Trump, the message of gloom it spells for their fraudulent agenda and how it once again exposed their phony "polls." And so they should! President Trump has their number, has exposed them for what they are and there is no going back. Their devious agenda is doomed to be relegated to the festering trash heap of socialism where it belongs.

The Pressure to Impeach Trump grows every day.
In response to:
Ocasio-Cortez says pressure to impeach Trump grows every day
By Kate Sullivan, CNN
Updated 5:33 PM ET, Sun June 16, 2019
Washington (CNN)Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Sunday that the pressure to impeach President Donald Trump is growing with each passing day.
"And I think that it's justifiable," the freshman New York Democrat told ABC News.
"I think the evidence continues to come in, and I believe that with the President now saying that he is willing to break the law to win reelection ... that transcends partisanship, it transcends party lines and this is now about the rule of law in the United States of America," the congresswoman said.
Trump said in a recent ABC News interview that he would listen if a foreign government approached him with damaging information about a political rival and wouldn't necessarily report the contact to the FBI.
When asked how real the progressive frustration is with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's opposition to impeachment, the congresswoman said, "I think it's quite real."
"I believe that there is a very real animus and desire to make sure that we are ... holding this President to account," Ocasio-Cortez said.
"I think there is a growing sentiment even among many of these front-liners -- as we call them, swing district Democrats -- that think we should at least open an inquiry and look into the abundance of evidence," she said.
"Ten counts of obstruction of justice, four with rock solid evidence, we have violations of the emoluments clause," Ocasio-Cortez said. "We need to at least open an inquiry so that we can look at what is going on."
Pelosi has been steadfast in her opposition to impeaching the President, but an outspoken bloc of members want Democrats to take a tougher stance against Trump. CNN previously reported that House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat, lobbied Pelosi to support an impeachment inquiry.
More than 60 House Democrats -- and one Republican -- have called for an impeachment inquiry as of Sunday afternoon.
"Our decision on impeachment should be based in our constitutional responsibilities and duties and not in elections or polling," Ocasio-Cortez said.
"That being said, with the increase in polls," the congresswoman said, "I think the American people are now recognizing in a much broader scale the depth and the severity of the misconduct coming out of the White House."…

This gal has a fire in her belly to do the right thing. Most Republicans appear terrified of her.
However, amazingly, she is collaborating with Ted Cruz on several projects.
Perhaps she can inspire actual bipartisan accomplishments in the near future.
As she matures and gains experience, she is likely to become a political
powerhouse, who truly represents the people who voted for her.

Political meeting cut short!
In my previous blog, I wrote a tribute to my nations flag, Dannebrog. All over the country, people were celebrating this icon, that still looks amazing! At the same time as the celebrations for the flag took place, our politicians were assembled on the small island of Bornholm. I say it's tiny, because it is. You can walk the entire island in a day, and the population is just 39,695 people.
Sidenote: It's the same island my friend lives on. I have been there once, and it's a true gem! Anyway, back to the topic at hand!
We are currently in a period of extreme weather here, because cold air meets hot air. That means thunderstorms and torrential rain. One such thing hit Bornholm, forcing the politicians to seek shelter in the nearby houses. My friend told me, that when she got off work, the rain was hammering down. Before the rain came, though, the lightning started to show itself. They were yellow and quite violent, so it was pretty dangerous.
I have checked the lightning radar, and it seems like they aren't put of the woods yet for at least another hour! I will ask her tomorrow how long it went on for.
In other news: I have to be up at 5 am tomorrow, so I am gonna go to sleep soon. After I finish my dinner, of course!

When Conservatives Lose Elections They Change Strategy. When Liberals Lose They Change The Rules.
Ever notice that? When conservatives lose an election they ask themselves how they can do better the next time. But when liberals lose they whine and moan that it's not fair and try to change the rules: eliminate the electoral college, let non-citizens vote, change the way senators and congressmen are divided up and on and on and on. What a bunch of SORE LOSERS.
Message to liberals. You don't get do-overs every time you don't like the results. The 2016 elections are OVER. You don't get a do-over. The Mueller report is OVER. You don't get a do-over.
When are the Democrats FINALLY going to accept that they LOST the election and they LOST their attempt to frame President Trump, give up their hateful, spiteful, juvenile assault on the country because they didn't get things their way AND GET TO THE JOB THAT THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING THEM TO DO: NAMELY GOVERNING THE COUNTRY?!!!

Trump fried by Congress today
Oh man ! Trump got filleted and deep fried today while the House of Representatives examined the Mueller Report, questioning legal experts.
It was clear from the legal experts, 2 law professors, and also John Dean, who gave historical perspective and the parallels between the situation with Trump and with Nixon.
Much like on here, the Republicans kept trying to change the topic from the Mueller report, or make excuses for the president, or attack the messengers, especially Dean.
However, the consensus was clear, that at least 4 of the 10 obstruction of justice incidences in the Mueller Report would hold up in court for all the criteria and together with the other 6 and the other partially obstructive, would show consistent intent and multiple counts.
I don't see how impeachment would not happen, unless Trump resigns.
Even if they find nothing from all the other investigations and his financial records, Trump is done. Even if the Senate obstructs justice by not voting to remove him from office,
there will be a revolt, when it comes to election time. And that's before all the other witnesses testify. When all is said & done, he's going to be more done than burned toast.
Below is the video of the opening statement from Dean.
I also watched the complete session, which I doubt most of you will have the patience to do.

Post-election - now what?
Yesterday saw the biggest shift in Danish politics - ever!
One party was effectively halved, making it VERY difficult for them to get pretty much anything done. The party in question is the Danish People Party, or simply DPP. Their political agenda is to "protect Danish values", by making sure that we all eat pork, because that is apparently a Danish tradition. Granted, most of the meat we eat here is pork or pork-related, but it's not written into our Constitution, that we HAVE to eat it. One of their figures is gonna give up his seat to someone else, which makes me smile. It's one of two political parties that I despise.
The second one is called "Tight Course", and their agenda is simple: Denmark must deport every non-Western person who has received asylum and is not a native-born citizen of one Denmark's neighboring countries. Denmark must deport every non-Western person who isn't a Danish citizen. For non-Westerners with temporary visas, the visa will not be renewed. Non-Westerners with permanent legal status should also have their status revoked and be deported.
Foreigners who have received Danish citizenship by the legal naturalization process should have their citizenship reevaluated, with the assumption that it will be annulled. Foreigners who have received asylum in Denmark, should of course be deported immediately, given that the foundation for asylum is no longer valid. This applies to their offspring, as well. Thus, deportations to Bosnia and Kosovo obviously must begin immediately.
Every person without legal status in Denmark shall be interned until they can be deported. Individuals who lack legal status while they wait for response to a visa application will be deported while the case is under review. If deportation isn't possible, the applicant should be interned while the application is reviewed
Sound familiar?
However, there are a few things that prevent that from happening:
1: We have religious freedom in Denmark. You are free to practice any religion you want to, free from persecution.
2: There is something called human rights, that dictate that everyone is to be treated fairly - even if you don't agree with the person.
3: They need to be a huge party with majority, before they can even begin to execute their agenda
Now, regarding Tight Course, they needed 2% of the total votes to be able to get into Folketinget, and they received 1.7%. That means they are NOT coming in, which makes me VERY happy. I am just worried about those 1.7% who voted for them.
Regarding the current government, it's tradition for the Prime Minister to go to the Queen to formally resign, and to introduce the new Prime Minister. That will happen in about 2 hours time from now.
The party, that I voted for, won the election, so they will now spend a few weeks assembling the new government, that will lead us into the future. I am excited to see which direction the country is headed.
