Steve Bannon appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the pros and cons of a partisan impeachment. Bannon was one of the early political observers who identified the likely entry of Mayor Michael Bloomberg into the 2020 race.
Bannon notes that Bloomberg has enough money to outlast the field; however, I doubt Bloomberg can fill a venue. If there’s no connection to the base party voter, candidate Bloomberg just can’t win the primary.

I don’t like Bloomberg for many reasons, but he’s no dummy. Why doesn’t he see that Trump is about to destroy the Dem media and Dem political world and get re-elected in a historical landslide? In this scenario, no Dem can be President,nor would be for a decade or more.

TO: President Trump, Americans
cc: All on the Left and on the Fence
RE: Before proceeding making America great let us thank Nancy and her gang!
Americans, let’s all thank Mrs. Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and all of those players in the Congress, the bureaucracy, the media, etc… who have participated in what I will simply refer to as a ‘Resistance Movement’. They have validated without a reasonable doubt not only the 12 lessons learned (see below) that I introduced to the citizens of my community in 1989 after 26 years as a military officer and into my third year as their police chief, but the four I have added since President Trump’s election. Also, their actions have started an avalanche of information revealing a level of corruption matching or exceeding what most of us old cops came to know over 30 years ago (see next paragraph). I personally cannot wait to watch the difference styles of dancing we are bound to see from those trying to manage damage control!
The lessons learned were to be the preface of a yet to be published book titled: Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America, You’ve Been Had! To date the book has not been published due to the large amount of still classified information therein. I will reveal that the book discusses the results of a Senate requested investigation as to the actual relationships between the governments of the United States, Panama, China, Russia, other nations, certain international banking organizations, and the international drug trade/money laundering ring operating in/around the Panama Canal. The investigation was requested to address concerns of senators regarding issues related to turning control of the Panama Canal over to the government of Panama. For your information; in addition to the names of several officials in the Carter Administration, one first term senator (J. Biden) and one state attorney general (W. Clinton) made it on to the list of individual subjects.
Please, asking for your tolerance for one final comment from an old retired cop. The events surrounding and/or occurring within the parameters the so-called Special Prosecutor (Mueller) Investigation of Russian/Trump collusion/obstruction of justice in/around the 2016 National elections were by no stretch of any DOJ and/or other federal government statutes/laws/regulations/SOP’s/etc… an investigation. It was crystal clear that all of the activities before, during, and after the Mueller affair were/are a collection of grossly screwed up attempts to maintain the power of the long established oligarchy and distract from learning the real facts surrounding the 2016 election and post election efforts to negate the 2016 presidential elections.
A Soldier/Cop’s Lessons Learned
1. Omitted.
2. The Seven C’s of Leadership according to a 1980 survey of 1646 of Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the soldiers in the survey chose the word “candor” is because to them candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat soldier lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! In short, soldiers expect/demand absolute candor from their leaders before all else.
3. Omitted.
4. The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to the American political class, the American bureaucracy, the American media, and American academia.
5. Arrogance coupled with ignorance equals stupidity.
6. The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the American so-called media.
7. Most of the politicians/bureaucrats/academicians I have encountered during my years as a soldier/cop I most kindly refer to as; self-serving, witless, cowards.
8. The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and most especially domestic.
9-11. Omitted.
12. There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
13. American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks, learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs and their vision impaired 50% or more. (Added 2019)
14. After carefully watching the whole of the political class since Donald J. Trump walked down that escalator in Trump Tower to date, I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power. (Added 2019)
15. Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left takes control of the government? Take your pick, New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or the complete package; California. (Added 2019)
16. If the so-called resistance movement continues unchecked a number of able veterans are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood? (Added 2019)
Soldier/Cop/Grunt, Retired
PS
1. Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
2. A man who trims himself to suit everybody will soon whittle himself away!
3. An ounce of gold cannot buy a second of time.
4. It is far more difficult to judge one’s self than to judge others!

So Bloomberg essentially bought the Democrat’s 2018 House takeover. Now he will “call in chits” of the politicians who owe him for paying for their election. Does anyone else see this as corruption?
To the extent Bloomberg identified himself as a “centrist” (that’s how Dems will see him even if we don’t), he will to lose the Socialists that comprise 25+ percent of their base. His biggest pitch is that he is a boring, staid, old, megarich, white man from NY who will restore order by putting Wall Street in charge. That’s really going to fire up the Bernie communists and minorities, not to mention American workers who will see their jobs moved back offshore.

IMHO,…Bloomberg as Democratic nominee in 2020.
Well, first off, having followed the Democrat Convention in 2016, I have been saying SINCE then, if the Venterists, or WallStreet faction tries, once again to game their system, to put a candidate Like Hillary, or Biden on the ticket, the,2020 convention will make the 1968 Dem convention in Chicago, look like a,’walk in the park’.
The demcoms are STILL P.o.’d from ’16, they are militant and organised (BLM and Antifa), and they will burn the place down.
Second, Bloombergs got money. No charisma, known for wanting to limit our softdrinks.
Nothing against those with,…lesser stature, but him, on a debate stage with PDJT? Its gonna look like Trump should sit down, so Bloomberg can sit in his LAP!
Actually, like PDJT and many of us, I have thought about debates for 2020 election.
I seriously DOUBT we will see any.
ANY candidate the Dems put up, is going to be a mop.
There is NO advantage to debate, and every reason to believe it will be a faceplant for them.
So, I don’t anticipate whoever ‘wins’the Dem nomination to debate PDJT.
But Bloomberg? The optics alone would be terrible.
And if party does what it did in 2016 (they already ARE) and rigs the primary process, to knock out the demcoms, like Warren etc. in order to put in a ‘centerist’, there will be a riot at the,convention.
So, Bannon may be,right, Bloomberg will change the dynamics for the Dems, but it ain’t gonna help.
