Winner Take All
Winner Take All economic think of Adam Smith and Donald Trump is not the only way to carry out global trade. In 1994 John Forbes Nash Jr and others were awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for their work in mathematical game theory.
Nash's doctoral thesis - titled “Non-Cooperative Games" suggested business negotiations need not be solely a winner take all competition as Smith suggested, but a cooperative dynamic equilibrium.
Ever notice how gas stations, pharmacies and grocery stores cluster together. This is about Nash, not Smith. It is about a cooperative effort to share the market instead fighting each other to the death. Too bad Trump can't set aside his Winner Take All think. The world would be a better place if he did.

Trump defense takes a hit
The secret is out, Bolton's book backs up the fact Trump held back Ukraine aid for dirt on Biden.
No way Bolton will be called to testify now. That's for sure.

Maxine Waters Punk'd By Russians Claiming They Have Dirt On President Trump: She Wants It
PS: One of the other Democrat Fake, Phonies And Frauds in Congress, Adam Schiff was punk'd by the same exact Russians in 2018 and did the same exact thing. (see video in first post below)
You know, Adam Schiff who for years claimed he had incontrovertible evidence that President Trump was in a conspiracy with the Russians but to this day NEVER PRODUCED IT.
WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE MR. SCHIFF, YOU FAKE PHONY AND FRAUD? WE ARE STILL WAITING.
What Trump is hiding
Impeachment has been understood to be about the next election, while it may be far worse. It may really be about the security of Europe. Stability in Europe is directly coupled to energy. What is Trump actually up to ?
Trump may seem stupid in his many strange attacks on energy politics, windmills, light bulbs, dishwashers, etc. It may seem funny, but there is a different picture behind the scene.
And he is pushing for shady deals in the energy market in Europe, for example exporting LPG gas to Ukraine, perhaps involving Poland. So, the question about Biden and Burisma may just be a cover up for a total different reason.
"Giuliani pals leveraged GOP access to seek Ukraine gas deal"
This may disrupt security in Europe, which may explain expressions like:"Bolton (according to a NBC report) warned that Trump could “go full isolationist” if he wins re-election next November, withdrawing from Nato and other international alliances."
The tragedy of United States and the world is that business men and wall street are cutting their own deals, in conflict with National and common people's interests. It is the same old story. Vietnam, Afganistan, etc. Most of the world have little idea of some of the causes for the World Wars, for example "The Treason Of Rockefeller Standard Oil (Exxon) During World War II"
Hitler moved troops across Europe, much thanks to Henry Ford. If you do a little digging, you will find American business involved in so much that it may make you sick.
Recent poll in Germany shows that they fear Trump much more than Putin.
What is taking place in the middle east, have a backstage filled with very different agendas then what we are supposed to believe.
So, we may laugh at many of the odd things Trump may say. It is a show, designed to confuse and have your eyes looking in the wrong direction. Take a step back and ask yourselves about his ethics and moral, his business, and ask if his "Make America great Again" is for you or the top 1%.
Trump is hiding his intentions from you.
Pray that someone will be able to have what he is hiding exposed.

All you need to know
Democrats constantly try to convince you that Trump is an 'existential threat' to the world :shocked: yet, time and again they have approved Trump's massive military budget. You don't do that if you truly believe he is an 'existential' threat.
The truth is the only existential threat Trump provides, is to Democrat's power to which they feel entitled

Trump’s Impeachment and “Impeachment Lite”

The shock of Donald Trump’s election, in November, 2016, obscured a tragedy of equal moment—the eclipse of reason, fact, and ethical judgment in the Republican Party.
Twenty-one years ago, during the impeachment of Bill Clinton, there were numerous Democratic lawmakers who lambasted him for his trespasses; five voted against him. Clinton, for his part, apologized to the American people before the House voted on his fate. “What I want the American people to know, what I want the Congress to know, is that I am profoundly sorry for all I have done wrong in words and deeds,” he said. “I never should have misled the country, the Congress, my friends or my family. Quite simply, I gave in to my shame.”
Clinton had lied about sex. That was the root of the accusations against him. Trump, with the help of Rudy Giuliani and others, attempted to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in military assistance to Ukraine, an ally under assault from Russia, as a way to extract a crude and distinctly personal political favor. Was this not a far graver offense? And yet everyone knew that there was never the remotest chance of hearing a word of contrition from Trump—and that from the Republican Party there would be no self-questioning, no doubt. Tribalism—and the demands of Trumpism—would not permit it.
There was a time, not so long ago, when Lindsey Graham recognized, and said publicly, that Trump was “unfit for office”—and when Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, Susan Collins, Cory Gardner, and so many other Republicans in Congress recognized Trump for the moral vacuum that he is. Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s acting chief of staff, once called Trump “a terrible human being.” Rick Perry, his Secretary of Energy, saw him as a “barking carnival act” and deemed his candidacy “a cancer on conservatism.” Ted Cruz called him a “pathological liar” and “utterly immoral.” They used to care. But things have changed.
At the same time, nearly every loyalist who leaves the Trump White House—James Mattis, Gary Cohn, H. R. McMaster, John Kelly, Rex Tillerson, et al.—comes clean, on or off the record, about despising Trump. They describe in detail the President’s countless acts of duplicity and incompetence. Only fearful, humiliated ex-Trumpers in need of campaign support, such as Jeff Sessions, who is again running for the Senate in Alabama, abase themselves and speak of his virtue. Nikki Haley, who seems intent on being Trump’s successor (or perhaps Mike Pence’s replacement on the ticket), refers to Trump as “great to work with” and “truthful”; in 2016, she said that he was “everything a governor doesn’t want in a President.”
In other words, when it comes to Trump, everyone knows. As the Republican caucus members fell into line on Wednesday, they revealed themselves. No one defended Trump on the merits, on the facts—not with any conviction or coherence. Who came to praise his character or values? No one. Instead, there were only counter-accusations, smoke-bomb diversions about procedure, ill will, and even talk of the President’s martyrdom. Barry Loudermilk, a Georgia Republican with a name fit for Mencken, was distinguished in his metaphors, yet hardly eccentric among his caucus, when he said, “Before you take this historic vote today, one week before Christmas, keep this in mind: when Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers. During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than Democrats have afforded this President in this process.” Democrats, in fact, had offered the President the chance to defend himself, but he had declined to do so....

Mascots
Ever wonder how the two parties picked their mascots?
The Republicans......the mighty elephant.
The Democrats......a donkey.
Someone dropped the ball when choosing for the Democrats. A mule, not a particularly handsome animal, often given to remaining seated, refusing to move anywhere, hence the nickname, an a**. Also when prodded to move forward much of what can then be heard is.....the bleatings of an a**.
Generally they are thought to be lazy, very stubborn, unmindful of their purpose and solitary in sex. Nobody likes watching an a** mount a**.
Now as regards the elephant......HUGE.....intelligent beasts they are in that they can be trained, they're social and familial.... for the most part, they're clean being given to showers of their own invention....their trunks. Definitely a symbol of strength....takes alot to push one around or piss one off....slow yet methodical in life, priceless in death....their trunks are worth tons....no pun intended. Yes, they were a part of a three ring circus but ended up losing that job because some liberal thought they were being treated badly. That in itself qualifies as a distinction and a higher rung on the scale of life.
But no one cares about a donkey (a**) do they? And kiss my a** never happens for them because of those prominent lips (Maxine) Alot of times we hear about them fondling an a** (Don Lemon)...no one listening to their a** (Schiff), and more often then not they manage to duplicate themselves....making an a** of themselves (Pelosi).
And lastly. Can you change your a** in midstream like a horse? If so, I think it's time for the demos to chose a new mascot. Not only has this one been beat to death but its showing all the signs of disappearing like one....ie... a hauling a**.

I wish Trump all of the best...
He has gone through a lot since before his election.
To appease all he is going to lengths, that should not be required from him.
Do you really believe that he should be replaced?
Honesty will be appreciated?

Democrats now considering not sending articles of impeachment to Senate
Just when you thought the FARCE couldn't get any worse 
We really are living in ClownWorld. The implosion is unbelievable. The most rigged, unconstitutional, and blatantly unfair 'impeachment inquiry' in history, and now that they led their congress members off a cliff and somehow got them to vote for it, talk from Democrats is that may not send the articles of impeachment over to the Senate
Of course the Constitution makes it clear that the House is DUTY BOUND to send the articles over
Whoever's writing this script really has a sense of humor

Snow
You know I would tell it is snowing here, but if I did all the Climate Deniers will jump up and claim proof positive that Climate Change is a Chinese Hoax.
