Waar blijft de jeugd, die anti-gun lobby is.
Na Maryland, waren zij met zovelen ( plus ouders) .
Lezen jullie daar wel eens over?
Zij hebben toch ook de leeftijd om te stemmen?

Waar moet die jeugd precies heen?

Registreren - stemmen -
Ik hoor zelden meer iets over de jonge mensen ( waarvan ik namen niet meer weet ), na Maryland en de herdenkingsbijeenkomsten met geweldige speeches.

Duidelijk.
Vanuit mijn stoel volg ik de info en links in het topic en cnn.
Sommigen van jullie zitten dichter op ( betrouwbare) nieuwsbronnen.
Tot nu toe miste ik berichtgeving over de millenials en voter registratie.

Ik zou eerlijk gezegd bijzonder verbaasd zijn als de jeugd wederom lethargisch op hun luie reet zou zitten na alles wat er gebeurd is....

Ze zijn behoorlijk verdeeld. Aan de linker kant is een behoorlijk conflict tussen de progressieve vleugel en de liberale vleugel van de Democratische partij en ook de green party wint terrein. De strijd tussen Hillary en Sanders is doorgesijpeld naar de rest van de partij. Er zijn ook veel nieuwe Republikeinse jongeren bewegingen. Daarnaast is er nog een behoorlijke drempel tussen online comments plaatsen en naar de stembus gaan.

Mwoah, die walk-outs uit scholen en universiteiten en protestmarsen de afgelopen periode geeft wel aan dat ze bewust zijn van de noodzaak om hun stem te laten horen. Welke kant de schaal uitvalt is iets anders. Ik heb geen idee, heb geen specifiek op de jeugd gerichte polls gezien.

Dat de green party flink zou groeien of er een enorme interne strijd in de partij gaande is, is ook meer wensdenken dan realiteit van onze huisfantast.

Dat is wel degelijk zo als je naar de uitslagen kijkt van de primaries tot dusver. Het veld is meer verdeeld dan voorheen. Dat gezegd hebbende. Aan het einde van de rit is er per partij altijd een kandidaat, maar zoals we met Sanders hebben gezien is er een behoorlijke groep die alleen op de progressive (of justice democrat) stemt en niet op de liberale partijkandidaat.

Oh ja? Kom eens met cijfers.

Personal income has gone down in several Eastern Kentucky counties where coal employment has been decimated in recent years, according to a report from the Appalachian Regional Commission.

In Harlan County, for instance, per capita market income fell from $13,053 in 2015 to $12,579 in 2016, while in Perry County it dropped from $19,726 in 2015 to $19,043 in 2016, the most recent year covered in the ARC’s calculations.

Pike, Knott, Bell, Breathitt, Leslie, Letcher and Johnson also were among the Eastern Kentucky coal counties that saw a drop in per capita market income.

The declines were a factor in income in Appalachian Kentucky losing ground in comparison to the U.S. level.

Per capita market income in Appalachian Kentucky equaled 48.3 percent of the national level in 2015, but that fell to 46.8 in 2016, according to the ARC report.

Nationally, the income figure went up in 2016 to $40,679, but in Kentucky’s Appalachian counties, it edged down from $19,204 in 2015 to $19,022 in 2016.

That was the lowest level of any area in Appalachia, which the federal government defines as covering all of West Virginia, about half of Kentucky and parts of 11 other states.

Per capita market income is a measure of an area’s total personal income not counting transfer payments such as public assistance, according to the ARC report.

Coal jobs in Eastern Kentucky have plummeted from 14,619 in 2011 to 3,909 in the second quarter of this year, according to the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet.

Studies have cited competition from cheap natural gas for electricity generation as the biggest factor in coal’s decline, though other factors have played a role, including efforts to beef up environmental rules in the Obama administration and the rise of renewable energy such as wind power.

There has been no significant increase in coal jobs in Kentucky under President Donald Trump.

quote:

President Trump’s lawyers do not know just how much the White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, told the special counsel’s investigators during months of interviews, a lapse that has contributed to a growing recognition that an early strategy of full cooperation with the inquiry was a potentially damaging mistake.

The president’s lawyers said on Sunday that they were confident that Mr. McGahn had said nothing injurious to the president during the 30 hours of interviews. But Mr. McGahn’s lawyer has offered only a limited accounting of what Mr. McGahn told the investigators, according to two people close to the president.

That has prompted concern among Mr. Trump’s advisers that Mr. McGahn’s statements could help serve as a key component for a damning report by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, which the Justice Department could send to Congress, according to two people familiar with the discussions.

Mr. Trump’s lawyers realized on Saturday that they had not been provided a full accounting after The New York Times published an article describing Mr. McGahn’s extensive cooperation with Mr. Mueller’s office. After Mr. McGahn was initially interviewed by the special counsel’s office in November, Mr. Trump’s lawyers never asked for a complete description of what Mr. McGahn had said, according to a person close to the president.

Mr. McGahn’s lawyer, William A. Burck, gave the president’s lawyers a short overview of the interview but few details, and he did not inform them of what Mr. McGahn said in subsequent interactions with the investigators, according to a person close to Mr. Trump. Mr. McGahn and Mr. Burck feared that Mr. Trump was setting up Mr. McGahn to take the blame for any possible wrongdoing, so they embraced the opening to cooperate fully with Mr. Mueller in an effort to demonstrate that Mr. McGahn had done nothing wrong.

realDonaldTrump twitterde op zondag 19-08-2018 om 13:15:12 ....and have demanded transparency so that this Rigged and Disgusting Witch Hunt can come to a close. So many lives have been ruined over nothing - McCarthyism at its WORST! Yet Mueller & his gang of Dems refuse to look at the real crimes on the other side - Media is even worse! reageer retweet

Last fall, Mr. McGahn believed that he was being set up to be blamed for any wrongdoing by the president in part because of an article published in The Times in September, which described a conversation that a reporter had overheard between Mr. Dowd and Mr. Cobb.

In the conversation — which occurred over lunch at a table on the sidewalk outside the Washington steakhouse B.L.T. — Mr. Cobb discussed the White House’s production of documents to Mr. Mueller’s office. Mr. Cobb talked about how Mr. McGahn was opposed to cooperation and had documents locked in his safe.

After the account of the lunch conversation was published, Mr. McGahn became convinced that Mr. Cobb believed that he was hiding documents. Concerned that he would be blamed, he decided to try to demonstrate to Mr. Mueller that he and other White House lawyers had done nothing wrong.

As Mr. Trump’s lawyers have shifted to a more antagonistic approach toward Mr. Mueller, it has seemed increasingly unlikely that Mr. Trump will sit for a voluntary interview. On “Meet the Press,” Mr. Giuliani repeated his fear of a “perjury trap.”

“It’s somebody’s version of the truth, not the truth,” Mr. Giuliani said of any statements by the president in such an interview.

“Truth is truth,” the show’s host, Chuck Todd, answered.

“No, it isn’t truth,” Mr. Giuliani replied. “Truth isn’t truth.”
