POL Politiek
Discussies en diepgaande gesprekken over de politiek in de breedste zin van het woord kun je hier voeren.

Het is dan dus afwachten wat de Canadezen kiezen. Ik zie net op wikipedia dat zij ook zo'n raar systeem hebben waarbij een minderheid alle macht kan krijgen. De liberalen van Trudeau hebben nog geen 40% van de stemmen. Ze hebben echter wel 54% van de zetels. Dat kan dus makkelijk kantelen.quote:Op woensdag 22 februari 2017 10:35 schreef Mystikvm het volgende:

Dat zijn ze daar ook niet. Geen enkel land is een baken van tolerantie, ook Canada niet. Men zit daar wel dik onder de plak van de politieke correctheid, op een niveau dat zelfs ik het belachelijk vind. De tegengeluiden worden dus ernstig onderdrukt in de politiek en media.

Trump advisers' space plan: To moon, Mars and beyond
A push for privatization is inspiring a battle between aerospace contractors and the new breed of tech entrepreneurs. The early indications are that private rocket firms like Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and their supporters have a clear upper hand in what Trump's transition advisers portrayed as a race between "Old Space" and "New Space," according to emails among key players inside the administration. Trump has met with Bezos and Musk, while tech investor Peter Thiel, a close confidant, has lobbied the president to look at using NASA to help grow the private space industry.
We weten in ieder geval nog dat iniatieven zijn besproken in December met Musk, Bezos en ook met afgevaardigden van Bigelow en B12.

Ze nemen blijkbaar de tijd om ja-knikkers om zich heen te verzamelen.quote:The White House’s deep involvement in hiring decisions across the government is frustrating some of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet secretaries, spurring early tussles between the president’s advisers and leaders of federal agencies.
White House officials have sometimes rejected candidates who have previously criticized the president — even if they boast sterling credentials or have the endorsement of top Republicans. And they’ve often imposed their choices on agencies, according to more than a dozen people inside and close to the administration.
.
Many Cabinet nominees joined the administration believing they’d have wide latitude to pick lieutenants, but they’re beginning to realize Trump’s powerful advisers are looking over their shoulders. The White House’s approach has already slowed hiring — and the dozens of vacancies at key agencies could make it more difficult to implement some of Trump's policy proposals.
So far, Trump has nominated fewer than three dozen of the 550 most important Senate-confirmed jobs, according to an analysis by the Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit group that advised Trump officials during the presidential transition.

Samenvatting over de uitspraken omtrent de Russische betrekkingen (van reddit):
Donald Trump's claims his team had no contact with Russia during campaign contradicted by Moscow officials
In reactie op dit bericht:quote:Yes, a long time ago," Trump said. "[Putin and I] got along great, by the way."
https://talkingpointsmemo(...)-claims-he-met-putin
Trump declared, “I do have a relationship and I can tell you that he’s very interested in what we’re doing here today He’s probably very interested in what you and I am saying today, and I’m sure he’s going to be seeing it in some form."
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/in-a-2013-interview-trump-said-i-do-have-a-relationship-with-vladimir-putin/
"Putin has big plans for Russia. He wants to edge out its neighbors so that Russia can dominate oil supplies to all of Europe," Trump said. "I respect Putin and Russians but cannot believe our leader (Obama) allows them to get away with so much...Hats off to the Russians."
"Will he become my new best friend?" Trump asked of Putin in a tweet wondering whether Putin would attend the 2013 Miss Universe pageant Trump brought to Moscow.
"I think I'd get along very well with Vladimir Putin. I just think so," Trump said in one of his first comments about the Russian leader since launching his presidential bid last June.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/28/politics/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-quotes/
Trump said of the letter: "A very nice letter from Vladimir Putin; his thoughts are so correct. I hope both sides are able to live up to these thoughts, and we do not have to travel an alternate path.”

"Russia does not respect our country any longer. They see we've been greatly weakened, both militarily and otherwise, and he certainly does not respect President Obama. So what I would do—as an example, I own Miss Universe, I was in Russia, I was in Moscow recently and I spoke, indirectly and directly, with President Putin, who could not have been nicer, and we had a tremendous success. The show was live from Moscow, and we had tremendous success there and it was amazing, but to do well, you have to get the other side to respect you, and he does not respect our president, which is very sad."

During an interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Trump expanded upon his welcoming of praise from Putin, remarking that “when people call you brilliant, it’s always good, especially when the person heads up Russia.”

"Trump has seemingly even endorsed Putin’s militaristic leadership style, claiming that America is at a disadvantage because Obama is merely “a community organizer,” while Putin is “ex-KGB.”
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/456895966327480320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
"Putin has become a big hero in Russia with an all time high popularity. Obama, on the other hand, has fallen to his lowest ever numbers. SAD"

"He's running his country and at least he's a leader, unlike what we have in this country," Trump said on MSNBC in December, a day after Putin, in his annual press conference, called the billionaire "an outstanding and talented personality" who had emerged as "the absolute leader of the presidential race."

He had arrived in the state in 1986, aged 13, and most of his family still live there.
He did not have a proper driving licence and had an immigration violation dating from 1997, when he was stopped at the border after a trip to Mexico.
Mr Nava Cabrera was imprisoned for seven months and then deported, leaving a son behind. He is now sleeping on the floor of a friend’s apartment in Mexico City and slightly baffled by the whole experience. “I don’t know anything about Mexico,” he says.

Ik vraag me wel af hoe lang Trudeau dit soort dingen kan doen. Volgens mij gaat het hier overwegend over economische migranten (niet dat dit betekent dat er geen schrijnende verhalen zijn). Ik weet weinig van de financiële en politieke situatie in Canada. Het zal me alleen heel erg verbazen als bijna alle Canadezen super gastvrij zijn en graag grote aantallen immigranten opnemen. Op een gegeven moment loop je tegen grenzen aan.

In reactie op dit bericht:

Z'n ontmoetingen in Moskou zijn niet te checken, dat hij Putin bij 60 minutes had ontmoet wel, dat is een leugen, Time schrijft:
http://time.com/4108198/donald-trump-60-minutes-putin/quote:Trump and Putin did not meet in a "green room" for the show, which does not have the typical off-stage waiting area for guests that a talk show has.
In fact, they weren't even on the same continent. Trump was interviewed by CBS's Scott Pelley in his New York City penthouse for the season premiere of the hour-long docu-series, while Charlie Rose travelled to Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin.
Trump praatte tijdens de primaries haast even onsamenhangend als nu:
Benieuwd wanneer/of we de details over de Russische contacten ooit zullen vernemen. Misschien weten ze na maanden nog niet of er iets verdachts aan de gang was omdat de gesprekken zo absurd als Trump's speeches waren. Lijkt me bij Carter Page, Flynn of Trump's advocaat niet uitgesloten...quote:China is a problem, both economically in what they're doing in the South China Sea, I mean, they are becoming a very, very major force. So, we have more than just Russia. But, as far as the Ukraine is concerned, and you could Syria -- as far as Syria, I like -- if Putin wants to go in, and I got to know him very well because we were both on 60 Minutes, we were stablemates, and we did very well that night.
But, you know that.
But, if Putin wants to go and knocked the hell out of ISIS, I am all for it, 100%, and I can't understand how anybody would be against it...
