Scheer Being Stupid...

Look Andrew, Unifor ain't on the bailout panel because it loves Liberals and hates Conservatives. Sure, most of their members are NDP or Liberals but that is neither here nor there.

They are on it because the union represents journalists, you know, their          M-E-M-B-E-R-S.

Give me a break!

The Final Accounting Is Coming.

It will come in the form of an absolutely extraordinary non-recoverable cardiac event.

And it will change everything politically across the globe.

For one man, the chains of destiny are not far off.

JWR And JP.

They have a choice: go for their principles, or power.

That means either the NDP or CPC. However, conventional wisdom and the rumour mill has them moving to the Greens instead.

With the Greens, I could easily see them as part of a wave that elects enough MPs to get party status. But certainly not government. Totally inadequate ground organisation to pull that off.

My money is on the NDP. We'll find out on Monday! Can't wait.

Post-May.

I'm very sad to see May go. She quits as party leader on June 7 and will resign as PM at the end of July.

People need to get it into their heads that not only did May quite literally bust her ass, but that no one, including the Almighty, can get a better deal out of the EU than she did. It's easy to vote every single thing down in Parliament.

Juncker, Tusk, Et Al. are on the record: no one is going to get a better deal, period.  So expect no deal in the end. And prepare for Britain's departure in October cause it will happen, even with no deal.

History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes. That got us Trump and an assorted cast of right-wing characters in power. That's why Johnson is in the race -- and why he'll win hands-down.

Johnson takes them out in October and then slowly but surely there will be hell to pay with the British public. But between now and then, Johnson has voters locked up.

Johnson is the wrong person, at the right place and time. That's why he's the United Kingdom's next prime minister. Good help Britain.

McGahn And Sekulow.

Jesus Murphy. Apparently, McGahn won't even show up to testify before the House. This is the former White House counsel.

Is he not aware that a State bar will not look too kindly at ignoring a Congressional subpoena. The correct decision is to at least show up.

Then let him claim Executive Privilege or take the 5th. But to do this is beyond stupid.

Trump says he never did anything wrong. Then why is he fighting all subpoenas? That legal opinion is beyond bogus -- it's absolute bullshit.

This makes Trump look like he's desperate. You can't say Trump has got plenty to hide but you can't say that he doesn't either.

Congress won in court on taxes today. Expect a lot more. The case law is crystal clear,  ironically enough, a favourite expression of none other than Nixon. Expect the same result repeatedly in court as Nixon got, cause it's going to happen.

And just wait until the House moves on to Sekulow.

Vance.

Vance says he owns it. Not pressure by the PM or Minister.

Given the stay and reimbursement of legal fees, shouldn't Vance resign?

So Trudeau Supports The Norman Motion.

I don't know about you but it seems that when you support something, you say it before hitting the trail.

How about during members' statements -- or before Raitt introduced the motion? Don't you look ridiculous post-event issuing a statement of support? Sure, Liberals would not have voted in favour if the Prime Minister was against but jeez, this comes off as amateurish to say the least.

I'm Stupid!

Colour me stupid! Someone, pretty please, explain how the Norman charge can be stayed while also agreeing to reimburse him for his legal fees?

I must have fallen asleep in Sheer Logic Class...

Booker.

My God, Cory is nothing if not formidable. You know how O'Dowd's Political Law winces when they say: When I'm...

But with Booker, it really sounds both possible and strangely enough, credible. That's a FIRST for me.

Watch Booker. He's seemingly coming out of almost nowhere in this campaign.

Is a Booker presidency possible? It looks increasingly likely to this observer. No longer a no-go on the ground, if the United States gets to truly know this candidate for president. There's a raw determination there that's stealth-like, compared to the 21 others.

Is It Sinking In Justin?

You used to be good at tapping into people's feelings -- not to mention genuine empathy.  You knew where most people were at and what to do about it. Not anymore.

What's that? Is it five or six polls that reflect reality?

They don't like you on SNC. They won't like you even more on Norman when it comes to light what the denizens in the PMO were up to...

Practically nobody but your subordinates agrees with you on JP and JWR. With each poll, you only dip down further.

Has it finally sunk in yet that failing to reverse course on so many matters is a recipe for political disaster?

Get this: you're going down without JWR and JP on your side. Nothing is plainer to see politically.

You're lucky to have a clear choice: return these remarkable people to the fold or meet your day of reckoning  in a calamity that will make Dion or Ignatieff's take look good.

It's truly sad that you'll make the wrong decision -- because you always do lately.

Quite simply, you can't help yourself.
