Winning - January 2020

Keeping track of the GOP and Trump Administration:

• 01/05 - The Iraq Parliament votes to oust US troops from the country.
• 01/05 - Iran ends all commitments to the nuclear ban deal. No limits on uranium enrichment.
• 01/05 - The US-led coalition suspends its fight against ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Resurgence time for ISIS.
• 01/05 - Trump reiterates that he would target Iranian cultural sites as retaliation. That's a war crime.
• 01/06 - John Bolton says he would testify in the impeachment trial if he is subpoenaed. 
• 01/07 - Duncan Hunter (R-CA) to resign from the House after admitting to campaign finance violations.
• 01/09 - Congressional members on both sides of the aisle unconvinced that Soleimani posed an imminent threat. The administration's presentation is roundly panned. 
• 01/10 - The House votes to limit Trump's authority to take military action against Iran without Congressional approval.
• 01/12 - The imminent threat from Iran/Soleimani story continues to change. DOD secretary Esper contradicts Trump.
• 01/14 - New evidence emerges from Lev Parnas in the Ukraine impeachment case.
• 01/15 - A federal judge halts Trump's policy on blocking refugees by local governments.
• 01/16 - The impeachment Senate trial officially begins.
• 01/17 - Trump supporter and former Representative Chris Collins (R-NY) sentenced to two years in prison for insider trading.
• 83% of Black Americans say Trump is a racist.
• 01/17 - Trump's best buddy Devon Nunes and his aides had contact with Lev Parnas concerning Ukraine mess. More swampiness.
• 01/22 - The DC attorney general sues the Trump inaugural committee for overpaying at Trump’s DC hotel. How to personally profit from the presidency.
• 01/24 - The Pentagon now says that 34 US service members suffered brain injuries from Iranian rocket strikes. Not the "no injuries" Trump said.
• The latest count is 50 injuries.
• 01/26 - Leaks of Bolton's book alleges that Trump did link Ukraine aid to a Biden investigation.
• 01/27 - SOS Pompeo berates an NPR reporter for asking questions he didn't want to answer. Then calls her a liar. Turns out he is the liar. No surprise.
• 01/28 - The UK defies Trump and allows Huawei to supply 5G cellular network equipment.
• 01/30 - Another Lev Parnas video leak.
• 01/30 - Anti-human trafficking groups boycott Ivanka's White House summit. Daddy is going to be pissed. He'll probably look for a way to punish those groups.
