It’s Monday.
From today there are 28 days until Iowa holds the first Democratic Party Presidential contest.
For Monday, January 6th, 2020, the President has whined on Twitter 6 times.
The Impeachment is a scam/hoax tweets.
“The reason they are not sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate is that they are so weak and so pathetic.” @LindseyGrahamSC @MariaBartiromo The great Scam continues. To be spending time on this political Hoax at this moment in our history, when I am so busy, is sad!

The president of the United States is so busy that he's watching a recording of a Fox Business show that aired Sunday morning and tweeting about it.

CBS News reported that after ten-days in Florida, the President returned to Washington D.C., on Sunday afternoon.
The Impeachment Hoax, just a continuation of the Witch Hunt which started even before I won the Election, must end quickly. Read the Transcripts, see the Ukrainian President’s strong statement, NO PRESSURE – get this done. It is a con game by the Dems to help with the Election!

“The Impeachment Hoax,” isn’t a Hoax, the President is Impeached.
“just a continuation of the Witch Hunt which started even before I won the Election.” no it isn’t.
“Read the Transcripts,” still doesn’t mean what President Trump thinks it means. The two publicly released memo’s of the phone calls between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky are just that a memorandum of the phone calls, based on notes, both call memorandums caution the reader that “(TELCON) is not a verbatim transcript.”
On November 15th, 2019, the White House released the Memorandum, of the April 21st phone call conversation between President Trump and newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The July 25th call Memorandum, was released two months earlier, on September 24, 2019.
“It is a con game by the Dems to help with the Election!”
Say’s the man that in fact pressured a foreign power to publicly announce they were investigating his Political Rival.
Congress & the President should not be wasting their time and energy on a continuation of the totally partisan Impeachment Hoax when we have so many important matters pending. 196 to ZERO was the Republican House vote, & we got 3 Dems. This was not what the Founders had in mind!

As if he has a clue what the Founders had in mind….right.
Moving on.

On Sunday, following a U.S. led-airstrike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani on Friday, Iran announced that they would no longer abide by the limits placed on them following the signing of the 2015 Iran Deal.
According to PBS’s News Hour, Iran on state run media insisted that they were still open to negotiations with European partners.
Javad Zarif, Foreign Minister of Iran tweeted on Sunday, that Iran still intends to cooperate “w/IAEA.”
As 5th & final REMEDIAL step under paragraph 36 of JCPOA, there will no longer be any restriction on number of centrifuges
— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) January 5, 2020
This step is within JCPOA & all 5 steps are reversible upon EFFECTIVE implementation of reciprocal obligations
Iran's full cooperation w/IAEA will continue

The first clip appears to be from 2020, the second video clip appears to be from October 2019.
Full Disclosure, I’m not watching the video’s, I’m battling the plague aka the Flu. My head already is pounding enough.
