President Trump's 2017 Thanksgiving Message

Officiele statement ook. Man man man, en wat is er mis met zijn ogen?

Al Franken And The Right To Lead

It should NOT matter what a man’s politics might be when judging his actions. Unfortunately, it does. A single accusation against Franken, and one that could be considered a case of bad judgment, and we were calling for his resignation. Half a dozen cases against Roy Moore, including child abuse and outright rape, and we have a president who still supports him and a state that may still elect him.

Given the accusations and the fact that, from photographic evidence and his own admission, there is truth that he behaved badly, Franken is an "imperfect messenger." But he is also a human being. When was it that we started demanding perfection of our politicians, anyway?

Take these latest three entirely at their words and here is what you have: Franken, not yet a senator, got some kind of twisted pleasure from squeezing their asses. It may not be sexualized in his case, but it certainly makes him an "imperfect messenger" for women’s issues, doesn’t it? Yet many women who have worked with him argue that he's a wonderful advocate for women. What gives?

I am not suggesting we should simply forgive Senator Franken. By all means, we should have expected better from him. But now that we see that he is human, perhaps we can demonstrate that we too can be human and show that we understand what making stupid decisions and mistakes is all about, and that we know the difference between what he did and what, say, the Roy Moore did. (Or the president.)

Voorlopig nog niet hoor. Bovendien wordt olie voor nog wel meer zaken gebruikt dan je auto volgooien. En buiten dat maakt dit het voor Amerika makkelijker gas te exporteren vooral naar Azie, wat erg voordelig is en bovendien een stuk schoner, plus die markter sneller van bvb steenkool zal doen afstappen om de verbrandingsoven op gang te brengen.

Keystone

- Amerika consumeert ongeveer 19.69 million barrels per dag

- Keystone vervoert na fase 1+2 590.000 barrels richting Amerikaanse raffinaderijen
- Keystone vervoert na fase 3 700.000 barrels richting Amerikaanse raffinaderijen

Gezien het groeiende LNG-gehalte in Amerika kan ik me wel voorstellen dat Keystone zo'n noodzaak is, immers hoe meer je Goedkoop in je eigen land weet te brengen, hoe meer je weer duur kan verkopen.

Als de regering nu de ecologische risico's beter in kaart brengt en de nodige aanpassingen doet dan is het voor iedereen geschikt, maar ach, dat zal wel weer te veel gevraagd zijn.

Trump recently traded insults with Ball, whose son LiAngelo Ball was one of the three UCLA basketball players detained in China earlier this month on shoplifting charges. Trump took credit for the trio’s release, but Ball dismissed his involvement.

When asked whether Trump’s attack was down to “what LaVar Ball said or, as some are alleging, how he looks,” Schwartz replied: “Both. He's a tall black man, Trump is half awed and half frightened by black people, and his only way of dealing with them is to attack them. On the other hand, I think he has a zero tolerance for any criticism of any kind, that’s why he goes after anybody who says virtually anything about him that’s negative.”

Biographer Michael D’Antonio agreed: “There are these dual motivations on his part,” he said. “On the one hand, it is racial; on the other hand, he has very thin skin.”

Trump slammed for 'insulting' Thanksgiving comments to military by former general

Donald Trump’s comments that US troops were only now winning as a result of his military strategy, were “somewhat insulting”, a retired general has said.

During an address to US forces serving overseas, Mr Trump said US troops were defeating Isis because of changes he had made to the strategy of his predecessor, Barack Obama.

“Everybody’s talking about the progress you’ve made in the last few months since I opened it up,” he said.

“They weren’t letting you win before; they were letting you break even. They weren’t letting you win.”

He also talked about the soaring stock market, record jobs figures and the recent Republican tax.

But retired Lt Gen Mark Hertling said Mr Trump’s comments would not have “rung very well” with him had he still been serving.

“First of all, I’m thankful for the fact that he did address the soldiers,” he said. “But the message I heard and some of the things he said would not have rung very well with me had I been a deployed soldier.”

He added: “We have been winning You’re talking to soldiers and military personnel around the world who have been in this fight for 17 years, and to suddenly be told they’re winning now when they weren’t winning before is somewhat insulting.”

Mr Trump spoke from his Mar-a-Lago estate to troops deployed overseas via video teleconference. During the call, the President praised the military’s recent performance and the state of the economy.

Mr Hertling said he believed troops did not want to be told about the economy or the stock market, but wanted to be thanked for their service.
