Dit zal de GOP bij de midterms weinig helpen. En heeft Trump geen tools meer tot zijn beschikking, dan krijgt hij niks meer gedaan. Mijn hemel, de GOP had de beschikking over zowel de senaat als het huis, dan mag je best wel wat meer hebben bereikt dan een paar dozijn per decreet afgeraffelde besluiten.quote:

But in fairness, the Access Hollywood fallout taught us that he doesn't know the difference between "Yes" and "No" either, so it seems perfectly plausible to me. reageer retweet

Trump’s migrant fiasco diverts millions from health programs
HHS is forced to prioritize migrant crisis over medical research and other goals.
HHS is forced to prioritize migrant crisis over medical research and other goals.
quote:The health department has quietly dipped into tens of millions of dollars to pay for the consequences of President Donald Trump’s border policy, angering advocates who want the money spent on medical research, rural health programs and other priorities.
The Department of Health and Human Services has burned through at least $40 million in the past two months for the care and reunification of migrant children separated from their families at the border — with housing costs recently estimated at about $1.5 million per day.
The ballooning costs have also prompted officials to prepare to shift more than $200 million from other HHS accounts, even as the White House weighs a request for additional funding for the Department of Homeland Security — a politically explosive move almost certain to antagonize fiscal hawks in the run-up to the midterm elections.
"We have a public health emergency like Ebola, Zika, hurricanes — except this one is man-made," said Emily Holubowich, executive director of the Coalition for Health Funding, who says HHS should request emergency funding too. "We should not be taking discretionary funding away from programs that need it."
HHS didn't respond to questions about spending on the crisis.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd. Je moet je daarvoor eerst gratis Registreren.

quote:Was Georgia’s Election System Hacked in 2016?
Mueller’s latest indictments raise new questions about the integrity of Georgia’s voting infrastructure. Why is the state stonewalling?
An indictment last week of 12 Russian military officers is focusing new attention on election servers in Georgia that are currently embroiled in a lawsuit between election integrity activists and the secretary of state. The activists, intent on proving that the state’s paperless voting machines are not secure and should be replaced, want to examine two state election servers to look for evidence that Russian hackers or others might have compromised them to subvert elections. But the state has been fighting them for more than a year, citing sovereign immunity from lawsuits and also insisting to the media that Georgia was never targeted by Russian hackers.

Zelfs the Queen 0wnde Trump subtiel.

What fashion lessons can we learn from Trump’s visit?
Nancy, London
Well, none from Trump himself, other than the obvious; when meeting the Queen, it is best not to wear a suit that looks as if you found it at the bottom of a dry-cleaning pile and, for the love of God, button the jacket, man. Look at the state of you.
As for Melania, well, after last month’s Jacketgate – when, for her visit to incarcerated migrant children, she opted to wear a jacket with the timeless, moving slogan on the back: “I really don’t care, do u?” – she opted for a less wordy wardrobe on this trip. Her long, yellow dress by the ultra-pricey designer brand J Mendel prompted some wits on social media to compare it with Belle’s gown in the animated Beauty and the Beast, further prompting them to suggest she was implying her husband is a monster. Which is all rather amusing, except that the beast is actually good and smart and selfless, so that’s where the analogy collapses. It seems more likely that Melania was reverting to the look her fans like most, which is that of a high-maintenance, uber-feminine princess, exemplified by her refusal to take off her ridiculously high stilettos, even when playing bowls on the grass in London, and, really, who even knew that was possible? It’s funny how Trump fans insist that they like the Trumps because they seem so “real”, while at the same time preferring them when they look most like parodies of tasteless rich people. It’s sort of like how, on the one hand, Trump’s defenders claim he’s so smart and, on the other, insist any moronic mistake he makes prove he’s just a regular guy. But, truly, fathoming the double-think of a Trump supporter is beyond my paygrade.
One person, however, who seems to have mastered how to handle Trump has been on top form over the past week. One who really knows how to get the better of him without even noticing. No, I am not speaking about Vladimir Putin, but, someone who may well be the greatest political mastermind of our age: our one and only Queen Elizabeth II.
Casual royal observers such as myself barely noticed the Queen’s fashion choices during Trump’s visit, because we were too busy cringing at Trump’s behaviour around her. Whether you give a fig about the royals or not – and I come very much from the “no fig” end of the spectrum – watching Trump galumph around in front of her, get in her way and generally act as if she wasn’t even there was, just on a human level, throw-up-on-your-own-shoes nauseating. She’s a 92-year-old woman, show her some respect, you giant Oompa-Loompa! But, of course, expecting thoughtfulness from a man who, earlier this year, was photographed holding an umbrella over his own precious head, leaving his young son exposed to the elements, brings to mind words such as “blood” and “stone”.
And the Queen, wisely, appeared to expect none either, because it turns out she was sending us all coded messages via the medium of her brooches. Yes, her brooches – read on and bow down in awe, James Bond. Twitter user @SamuraiKnitter has pointed out that on the first day of the Trump visit, the Queen wore a simple green brooch that was given to her by the Obamas to signify their friendship. On the second day, she wore a brooch given to her by Canada, a country with which Trump is less than pleased at the moment (also, it was in the shape of a snowflake, a classic Trump term for people who disagree with him.) And, for the last day, she chose a brooch she wore to the funeral of her father, so not one associated with happiness and joy. Queen’s brooches: 3. Trump: 0.
Is this all reading too much into it? Well, it is known the Queen does choose her brooches according to the theme of the day, such as the love knot brooch she wore to William and Kate’s wedding. And, let us never forget the exciting time last year when, to open parliament, she wore a hat bearing a striking resemblance to the EU flag.
Has the Queen been trying to talk to us all this time and we just didn’t notice? Because we know she’s not allowed to make political statements, but what if she’s been sending them to us through her wardrobe? My God! I hereby declare that, like the British government, we all take an early holiday and spend the next couple of weeks combing through photos of the Queen, reading the runes of her twinsets. It’s OK, guys, the Queen is totally going to fix Brexit! Cherchez the brooches!

quote:Kremlin's transcript of Putin's remarks in Helsinki redacts admission that Russia was responsible for Crimea's separatist referendum
The Kremlin doctored its official transcript of Putin's remarks to journalists, following his meeting on Monday in Helsinki with U.S. President Trump, redacting the word “we” from Putin's statement about the 2014 referendum in Crimea that led to Moscow's annexation of the peninsula: “We believe [we] held the referendum in strict compliance with international law and the UN Charter.”
In video posted on the Kremlin's website, you can still hear Putin use the words “we carried out,” however.
The English-language translation posted by the Kremlin, meanwhile, still reflects what Putin actually said: “We believe that we held a referendum in strict compliance with international law and the UN Charter.” (Meduza).
Alleged Russian agent Maria Butina had ties to Russian intelligence agency, prosecutors saytwitter:NatashaBertrand twitterde op woensdag 18-07-2018 om 17:19:39 Prosecutors: Maria Butina had ties to Russian intelligence operatives and was in contact with them while in the United States https://t.co/UlFGneIFoG reageer retweet
Prosecutors: Maria Butina had ties to Russian intelligence operatives and was in contact with them while in the United States quote:The Russian woman arrested on charges of being a foreign agent had ties to Russian intelligence operatives and was in contact with them while in the United States, federal prosecutors said Wednesday. Maria Butina also had ties to wealthy businessmen linked to the Putin administration and appeared to have plans to flee the U.S., prosecutors said in a new court filing.
Butina, 29, was initially arrested on a criminal complaint on Sunday, federal authorities indicted her Tuesday on charges of conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government and failing to register as an agent of a foreign government. She is scheduled for a detention hearing Wednesday afternoon on whether to release her from jail before trial, and prosecutors filed a motion this morning outlining why she should be held without bond.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd.

Ik vind 15% voor iemand als Corker nog best hoog, overigens. Als Trump daadwerkelijk een challenger krijgt is dat slecht voor zijn kansen in 2020. Cue Bush en Buchanan in 1992.
Daar gaat het natuurlijk niet om. Je negeert het feit dat er nog nul kandidaten bekend zijn, niemand campagne voert, naamsbekendheid een grote rol speelt, er bij de Democraten door de peiler negen kandidaten worden gepeild en bij de Republikeinen slechts twee en ga zo maar door. Daar ben je al tig keer op gewezen.quote:
