Nu nog uit het witte huis. Er gaan stemmen op bij de democraten om hem (wanneer ze het huis en de senaat kunnen veroveren) Trump tot aan de presidentsverkiezingen te laten zitten waar hij zit zonder al te veel blijvende schade te kunnen veroorzaken. Ondertussen kan dan de hele Trump org. ontmanteld worden en kan Trump zich later niet meer verschuilen achter zijn poen.
Die krijgt gewoon nog een tweede termijn hoor. Zolang het economisch nog voorspoedig gaat als de herverkiezing begint. Het enige wat hem tegenhoudt is als Mueller genoeg vind. En zelf dan moeten ze hem schoppend en schreeuwend het Witte Huis uitdragenquote:Op maandag 27 augustus 2018 14:17 schreef Zwoerd het volgende:

John McCain’s Epiphany About Paul Manaforttwitter:kylegriffin1 twitterde op maandag 27-08-2018 om 15:20:30 Manafort saw managing the 2008 Republican Convention as almost a birthright, according to The Atlantic. But McCain denied him the job. He couldn’t abide Manafort's pro-Russian clients—and told him so, a rejection that sent Manafort into a fit of rage. https://t.co/vJOyyBNk4d reageer retweet
quote:A central feature of John McCain’s biography was his capacity for change. After he sullied himself in the Savings and Loan scandal of the late eighties, he self-consciously transformed into a warrior on behalf of the cause of political reform. And then, in the course of his insurgent challenge to the anointed candidacy of George W. Bush—which McCain referred to as the “Death Star”—he came to understand how the mindless libertarianism of his early political career didn’t fully reflect his true beliefs. McCain began to criticize the regressive tax cuts that he once supported—what began as a tactical maneuver, then seemingly acquired the weight of conviction. Luke Skywalker didn’t win that fight, but he returned to fight the Bush tax cuts in the Senate.
This is what made McCain so admirable to those who disagree with his politics: a profound sense of humility, openness to learning from his own error, an ability to adjust core beliefs in response to changing evidence, an insatiable hunger for rebellion.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd.

En toch VOELT zijn aanhang zich veiliger nu, alleen maar omdat Trump beweert dat de dreiging voorbij is en hij dikke vriendjes met Kim is.quote:"We are worse off than where we were when the summit happened because, in the meantime, China and Russia have alleviated sanctions pressure on North Korea. We've also unilaterally canceled our military exercises with South Korea with our own president even labeling these exercises provocative which certainly unnerved Japan," said Sean King, senior vice president at public policy and business development firm Park Strategies.
Even during the June summit, King said, both parties seemed to have misunderstood to what the other was agreeing.
"Trump thinks he (Kim) said he will give up his nukes and then we will work toward some kind of peace deal. But in Kim's mind, it is the end of the U.S.-South Korea alliance first and then maybe he will denuclearize," King said.
King suggested that part of the problem was a difference of opinion about strategy within the White House.
"You have a professional staff that is talking a hard line, and the president feels he could do his own deal based on personal chemistry. It is like we have two parallel administrations and North Korea is trying to exploit that," King said.

Student Loan Watchdog Quits; Blames Trump Administrationtwitter:kylegriffin1 twitterde op maandag 27-08-2018 om 16:50:12 WASHINGTON (AP) — Nation's top official overseeing student loans resigns, citing White House hostility to protecting borrowers. reageer retweet
quote:The federal official in charge of protecting student borrowers from predatory lending practices has stepped down.
In a scathing resignation letter, Seth Frotman, who until now was the Student Loan Ombudsman at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says current leadership "has turned its back on young people and their financial futures." The letter was addressed to Mick Mulvaney, the bureau's acting director.
In the letter, obtained by NPR, Frotman accuses Mulvaney and the Trump administration of undermining the CFPB and its ability to protect student borrowers.
"Unfortunately, under your leadership, the Bureau has abandoned the very consumers it is tasked by Congress with protecting," it read. "Instead, you have used the Bureau to serve the wishes of the most powerful financial companies in America."
The letter raises serious questions about the federal government's willingness to oversee the $1.5 trillion student loan industry and to protect student borrowers.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd.

quote:Republicans on the Hill have again and again claimed that there is no Donald Trump scandal worth investigating. But in a sign that maybe they aren’t operating totally on the level, Jonathan Swan at Axios reports that a “senior House Republicans office” has compiled a spreadsheet of all the things they believe House Democrats will investigate if they win a majority in November — and they are terrified what these inquiries might turn up.
In total defiance of the (flawed) logic of the Madisonian constitutional system, Republicans have used their control of the congressional agenda to stymie any kind of rigorous investigation into dozens of urgent scandals swirling around the Trump administration.
Swan reports that “it has churned Republican stomachs” and includes the following:SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd. Je moet je daarvoor eerst gratis Registreren.

But the sheer length and gravity of this list is an indictment of congressional Republicans’ total abdication of their responsibilities to the country.
But instead of seeing it that way, they’re just using it as a scare story to try to motivate greater effort toward winning the midterms so they can continue the coverup.
