Not my dreams - the words of some close to Republican senators.
Most probably not going to happen - but the Rep Senators are only watching out for the balance in supporting Trump to switch from it being good for their re-election to it being detrimental. Still good - but they know that Trump is actually just a switched-Democrat in it all for himself. And at some point too much negative around 'himself' might well tip the balance.

I'm not dreaming - I'm just saying what Republican watchers are saying as Trump crashes about like a bull in a china shop. Might have been a dream for democrats over the last two years as the nightmare for them of a Trump presidency unfolded - but not so much a dream these days as impeachment proceedings have commenced and Trumps denials get wilder - and Giuliani's random utterances get even more random. Even Fox News is having problems as their presenters war behind the scenes and in front of the camera on this...
See for example Tucker Carlson on Shep Smith or Chris Wallace.
And have fun watching Fox and Friends hosts squirm, wriggle and play Taboo as they try to avoid using the 'server' word in the context of Trumps conversation transcripts.

Trump’s press conference with the Finnish President - childish insanity from Trump. Quite astonishing. The guy truly does seem a bit unhinged. Not surprising perhaps that McConnell has accepted that if Congress finds for impeachment then the Senate will try Trump - McConnell could have got out of that but he didn’t.
Plus it seems that many republicans are looking at such as Nikki Haley knowing that she would beat any Democrat in the next election - but it is Trump they have...Fun times.

And so we have a second whistleblower (and maybe more) who claims to have 1st-hand knowledge of the PotUS telephone conversation - the first whistleblower did not have 1st-hand knowledge - one of the main lines of attack on that whistleblower.
And so the committees want sight of everything held about the conversation - including the full transcript (though that might not exist). But then also there are the text exchanges between Taylor and Sondland on the matter.

Oh what fun for the PotUS.

oooh - he is sooo not going to like that. Just watch him refuse and dare Congress to put him in front of a judge. Fortunately that sort of thing would never happen here in the UK.

Ultimately it's all for show as he won't get impeached and kicked out. But could be fun to watch.

I think it is slightly worrying when I can't initially tell if this is a real or parody account. And even more frightening if we are talking about the president of the US.
When did he last destroy the economy of Turkey?
Have SNL hijacked his Twitter account, great and unmatched wisdom? Has he become the Wizard of Oz? Even for him that's a bizarre one.

In my great and unmatched wisdom - it is a bit frightening when you know his account and his words...

Some of his main GoP supporters in Congress (e.g. Lindsey Graham) not at all happy at the withdrawal from Syria - the risk of ISIS reforming - and what that says about the trustworthiness of the USA as a partner.
But apparently his action is supported by the UK - or so, in his great and unmatched wisdom, he has said. Have we supported it. Where is DRaab when you need him?

Maybe Trump wants ISIS to reform so that his friends in the defence industry (defence-lol) will get more contracts.

Whatever happens I suspect that Trump will be blaming the EU and the UK etc for not stepping up to the mark. Has DRaab told us yet whether the UK is supportive of this withdrawal - as Trump said last night. Or are we afraid to push back and contradict him - telling him that the UK does not support the withdrawal.
Let's be hearing you DRaab!

Trump blocking his Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland testifying to the Congress impeachment committees - even though it appears that Sondland is keen to appear. Well he is a businessman hoping to have a business life after Trump. And so Sondland is subpoena'd to appear. The optics of this blocking by Trump are not good.
