Dear Shadow Minister,

Here's a link from a Republican who did not vote
for Mr Trump (there's quite a few of them around)
and who will hold Mr Trump to account. I watched
the interview by Stan Grant last night.

Foxy,

That ranks along side those that were going to convince the electors not to vote for Trump.

First, politicians are essentially pragmatic. The Republican senate and congress now have a Republican president who will help them legislate their agenda. For that they will give Trump nearly everything he wants. As for the threat of impeachment, that requires a vote of 60% of the Congress and 60% of the Senate, which has zero chance. Also Trump will appoint the next Supreme court judge and possible even another.

There may be a few disaffected republicans and a lot of democrats that will huff and puff, but it will happen.

Dear Shadow Minister,

No - that link does more than what you suggest.
Richard Painter is a lawyer who advised former
President George W. Bush on ethics. He's a
Republican who has great concerns about President
Trump. However he's zeroing in on Trump's
business connections to International companies
and countries and whether there's anything that
goes against the American Constitution.

Michele Cuttle writing in The Atlantic, January 23, 2017
tells us that Democrat of Republican, no one on Capitol
Hill is certain what changes the new President will
bring. She states that she has no doubt "that while
Congress may not become significantly more functional -
or less maddening - in the coming session - it will get
shaken up a great deal as exotic new challenges are
layered atop deeply entrenched ones."

Adding that "In the Trump era the rule of thumb on
Capitol Hill will be the same as everywhere else:
expect the unexpected!"

Again my apologies for the typo:

Shadow "A year from now you might really have something to protest about, but having cried wolf so many times, no one will be listening."

And there lies a big part of the problem. The left are throwing so much mud at Trump and most that I've seen is overstated, misrepresenting the issue, outright lies or hypocritical as they ignore the same in those they endorse that when there really is something to pay attention to, something of serious concern it will be lost in all that's gone before. No sign of having learned from the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" as a child.

I have serious concerns about Trump but am finding it difficult to get any real sense of the issues because in almost every case when I've dug down to the available facts what's being presented to disparage him does not represent the truth. Over and over again the same story.

I've wondered about false flag trolls on alt-right postings, some almost look like they are trying to hide what truth sits in issues with a barrage of extremes to distract. Coverage of the PizzaGate issues seem to often significantly overstating the available evidence (just as the mainstream media heavily downplayed it) or adding in pet conspiracies of flying saucers etc.

Sadly I suspect many are not trolls and sadly I think the left are so caught up in their anti-Trump rampage that they don't stop to think of the longer term harm when they really have something to say and no one except those already in the echo chamber take them the least seriously.

And the media will be so obsessed with Trump for what could be the next eight years that all manner of crime and corporate fraud and political abuse will be given a free pass.

They have stopped being the voice of the people to become of the voice of the bitter and embarrassed because they too have been humiliated by the majority vote. It is all about trying to save face.
