Bonjour Sylvette, et transmettez toutes mes félicitations à vot' POTUS qui réduit le chômage et refroidit le climat plus vite que nos Ségolène et Nicolas réunis...

Dans un de vos articles, j'ai quand même relevé qques mots qui m'ont froid dans le dos :    "By Goldman Sachs' calculation"  

 J'etais en train de relire certains des articles concernant la "sante mentale de Bush 43", ce n'etait pas mal non plus.  (... In his 219-page clinical diagnosis of the President's mental condition, Dr. Frank concluded that Mr. Bush suffers from a range of serious, albeit curable conditions. These include: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); untreated and uncured alcoholism (what is frequently referred to in lay terms as "dry drunk"); an omnipotence complex; paranoia; an Oedipal Complex; sadism; a mild form of Tourette's Syndrome; and a diminished capacity to distinguish between reality and fantasy." ...)

Certaines personnes incapables d'accepter que la pensee n'etant pas unique, des dirigeants et les electeurs qui ont vote pour eux, ont des idees et meme des visions differentes des leurs pour leur pays. Leur seule solution detruire ce qu'il considere l'ennemi en faisant de lui/d'eux des sous-humains (n'oublions pas les "deplorables"); toutes les attaques sont autorisees.

Let's face it, si Trump avait des idees liberales, ce serait un genie et un original.

Democratic Senator Releases Transcript of Interview With Dossier Firm
...
The request inspired a tart back-and-forth with Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the committee’s Republican chairman, but appeared to be going nowhere until Tuesday, when Ms. Feinstein took the side of Fusion.
“The American people deserve the opportunity to see what he said and judge for themselves,” she said. “The innuendo and misinformation circulating about the transcript are part of a deeply troubling effort to undermine the investigation into potential collusion and obstruction of justice. The only way to set the record straight is to make the transcript public.”

MSNBC producer falsely claims Ambassador to Panama quit over Trump’s alleged ‘s---hole’ countries comment

...

“BREAKING: NBC confirms with the State Department that the U.S. Ambassador to Panama, John Feeley, has resigned because he can no longer feels he can comfortably serve under @realDonaldTrump. Feeley is the first U.S. diplomat to resign over the president’s comments,” O’Hara initially wrote.

...

Feeley’s resignation letter was dated Dec. 27, 2017 – so was clearly thinking about the decision well before Trump’s alleged remark.

O’Hara eventually deleted her tweet and sent a follow-up explaining the situation, but didn’t exactly apologize or retract the misleading first statement.

“I deleted an earlier tweet about Ambassador Feeley’s resignation over concerns the phrasing was misleading,” she wrote.

On Thursday afternoon, the Washington Post reported that Trump made the vulgar reference, prompting CNN and MSNBC to blow up their primetime coverage to examine the comment. Liberal pundits were especially outraged and the president was called racist on more than one occasion.

Meanwhile, Trump both defended his immigration stance while claiming the reports about his meeting with senators were inaccurate in a flurry of tweets Friday morning.
“The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!” Trump tweeted. 

Meanwhile, a variety of politicians have defended Trump saying they don’t recall him using the  “s---hole” term, while others have claimed it was an accurate quote. 


Evidemment les Trump Haters croient tres fort a l'exactitude de l'information et la colportent insultant le president et creant des remous a travers le monde, et, ceux qui en ont assez de s'entendre dire des "contre-verites" donnent le benefice du doute a 45 et aux politiques (dont 2 senateurs, meme si de nos jours...) presents qui le defendent. Voyons si un enregistrement effectue illegalement fera surface et departagera le reel de l'invente..)

Ceci dit, on pourrait croire que lors de meetings de ce genre des "minutes" sont enregistrees, mais bon..

Barack Obama: Obama rips Fox News viewers: ‘You are living on a different planet’

Une planete quelque peu surpeuplee tout-de-meme.. Despite Unprecedented Upheaval, Fox News Ends The Year On Top

Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro already established that Barack Obama's proposed presidential library on the campus of the University of Chicago is "shockingly hideous," and "inspired by Chinese takeout containers," but it turns out that harsh criticism for Obama's Brutalist behemoth isn't just limited to architecture aficionados.

La maquette qui semble avoir été élue par le jury me semble peu estravagante, qu'en pensez-vous ?
J'ai vu que les propositions de bureaux d'architectes qui concouraient pour enlever le marché comportaient
pourtant des projets très audacieux et futuristes. Peut-être trop chers ou trop voyants...

Le fait qu'aucun document historique ne serait contenu dans le batiment est lui aussi surprenant pour une bibliotheque presidentielle meme s'ils seront accessibles online, mais bon, grand soulagement: They include a recording studio that the former president said would be built to host artists like Bruce Springsteen, Chance the Rapper and Spike Lee.

‘New California’ movement hopes to create 51st state from rural counties


Posted 4:27 PM, January 17, 2018, by Bob Ponting, Updated at 04:40PM, January 17, 2018

SAN DIEGO – A group has launched a campaign to divide California into two states.

It isn’t the first attempt to split California, but unlike a failed campaign in 2016 to divide California into six states, the campaign to create New California would split the state into one made up of rural counties and another made up of coastal counties.

The movement was founded by Robert Paul Preston and Tom Reed. Their website claims that the current state government has established a “Tyranny over the Counties of New California.”

“After years of over taxation, regulation, and mono party politics the State of California and many of its 58 Counties have become ungovernable,” the organizers write. “The nature of the State becoming ungovernable has caused a decline in essential basic services such as education, law enforcement, fire protection, transportation, housing, health care, taxation, voter rights, banking, state pension systems, prisons, state parks, water resource management, home ownership, infrastructure and many more.”

The New California movement issued a “Declaration of Independence,” dated Jan. 15, 2018, that uses similar language to the U.S. Declaration of Independence. The document states that the counties of New California “strive to be free from the State of California, and that as a Free and Independent State, have full power to establish and maintain law and order.”

'New California' is actually an old-school idea for breaking up the state



Abby Hamblin

Here we go again. The “New California” movement — launched to little fanfare in 2016 — made a splash in the news this week thanks to the issuance of a public “declaration of independence” calling for the formation of a 51st state in the U.S. and headlines on CBS, USA Today and the Drudge Report.

It’s one in a long string of efforts for California to secede from the U.S. or be split into multiple states.

“New California is a new state in development by egregiously aggrieved Californians exercising our Constitutional right to form a new state separate from the tyranny and lawlessness of the state of California,” the group’s Facebook Page says.

The new state, as envisioned, would exclude parts of California along the coastline from Orange County north to Napa County; New California would include all other parts of California, including San Diego County, leaving the coastal stretch as California.

Democrats caved on the shutdown, and they’re admitting it
By Aaron Blake

You don't need me to tell you that Democrats just caved when it comes to ending the government shutdown; even some of their leading senators are admitting it. Here's Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.), a potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate:

Kamala Harris on McConnell: “I don’t believe he made any commitment whatsoever and I think it would be foolhardy to believe he made a commitment.”

Here's another critic, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.):

Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) says she’s “very disappointed” in deal because there’s no guarantee House will pass fix to help Dreamers.
— Alex Bolton (@alexanderbolton) January 22, 2018

And here's a statement from OFA, the political offshoot of Barack Obama's presidential campaigns: “Let’s be clear: This stopgap measure is not a solution. It’s merely a band-aid for a self-inflicted wound that remains untreated.” Another liberal group, CREDO Action, offered this:

To be clear, most Senate Democrats wound up voting to reopen the government. They did so after a deal was struck in which Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) was assured that the Senate would vote on some kind of immigration deal by Feb. 8 — and if they didn't have a deal, there would be an up-or-down vote on DACA, the program protecting the children of illegal immigrants from deportation. Just 16 of the 49 members of the Senate Democratic caucus voted no, and it's a group that is full of potential 2020 contenders like Harris who have a clear interest in appealing to the base.

But that's also the point. Those members have made appealing to the Democratic base their raison d'etre, and they've quickly wagered that this thing isn't going to fly with that same base. The base was cheering Democrats for taking a stand on behalf of so-called dreamers and demanding that they be protected; instead, Schumer has merely been assured of a vote on something to-be-determined that may or may not succeed.
