POL Politiek
Discussies en diepgaande gesprekken over de politiek in de breedste zin van het woord kun je hier voeren.
Wel een interessant fenomeen dat tegelijk Trump sinds anderhalf jaar niet zo goed pollt, waar ik wel benieuwd naar ben waardoor dat dan komt, en tegelijk de kansen voor het Huis voor de Democraten nog nooit zo hoog zijn ingeschat als we fivethirtyeight kunnen geloven.
Tja we hebben ook gezien dat als je heel positief over de kansen van de democraten bent, en meld dat het een gelopen race voor de democraten is, dat ze dan thuis blijven.

How the man behind Khashoggi murder ran the killing via Skype quote:Turkish security sources say he was immediately seized inside the consulate by 15 Saudi intelligence operatives who had flown in on two jets just hours before.
According to one high-ranking Arab source with access to intelligence and links to members of Saudi Arabia’s royal court, Qahtani was beamed into a room of the Saudi consulate via Skype.
He began to hurl insults at Khashoggi over the phone. According to the Arab and Turkish sources, Khashoggi answered Qahtani’s insults with his own. But he was no match for the squad, which included top security and intelligence operatives, some with direct links to the royal court.
A Turkish intelligence source relayed that at one point Qahtani told his men to dispose of Khashoggi. “Bring me the head of the dog”, the Turkish intelligence source says Qahtani instructed.
It is not clear if Qahtani watched the entire proceedings, which the high-ranking Arab source described as a “bungled and botched operation”.
The Arab source and the Turkish intelligence source said the audio of the Skype call is now in the possession of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan. The sources say he is refusing to release it to the Americans.
Erdogan said on Sunday he would release information about the Turkish investigation during a weekly speech on Tuesday. Three Turkish officials reached by Reuters declined to comment ahead of that speech.
The senior Saudi official who laid out the official version of events – that Khashoggi had got into a fight – said he had not heard about Qahtani appearing via Skype, but that the Saudi investigation was ongoing.

Hoezo zal hij er niet naar luisteren? Als er toch iets is waar hij gevoelig voor is, is het wel dat de rest hem niet als een sterk alphamannetje ziet.quote:

Net als abortus is transgenders een emotioneel onderwerp en daardoor erg geschikt voor politiek gewin. Republikeinen mobiliseren er grote groepen Christenen mee en kunnen zo de rest van hun conservatieve agenda erdoor drukken, want daar gaat het om.quote:

Explosive Device Found Near George Soros’s Home in Westchester County
quote:An explosive device was found on Monday near the Westchester County home of George Soros, the billionaire philanthropist who is a favorite target of right-wing groups, according to a law enforcement official.
The device did not explode on its own, and bomb squad technicians “proactively detonated” it, the official said.
Federal and state law enforcement officials responded to the scene in Katonah, N.Y., a hamlet in the upscale town of Bedford in northern Westchester.
The Bedford Police Department and the Westchester County Department of Public Safety said Monday night that they were investigating at that location. The police declined to answer questions but said that a hazardous device unit had been requested.
The F.B.I. and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives did not respond to requests for comment.
It is unclear if Mr. Soros was home at the time. His foundation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Soros, who was born in Hungary, made his fortune running a hedge fund and is now a full-time philanthropist and political activist. He donates frequently to Democratic candidates and progressive causes and has given at least $18 billion to his Open Society Foundations to promote democracy and human rights around the world.
His activism has made him a villain to conservative groups and the target of anti-Semitic smears. Roseanne Barr called him a Nazi in an infamous tweetstorm, and Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, falsely speculated that Mr. Soros had funded a caravan of migrants moving north toward Mexico.

In A Heated Debate, Galvin And Amore Clash Over Trump, Election Security, And Personal Credibility
quote:Secretary of State William Galvin agreed to only one debate against election opponent Anthony Amore, but the single 30 minute engagement produced enough light and heat to illuminate the race for the state's top elections officer.
The two traded barbs and ad hominem attacks on everything from election security, President Trump's immigration policies and the frequency with which Amore did — or didn't — vote.
The debate ended with the challenger calling the 20-year incumbent a "liar", and Galvin calling Amore a "faker".
Amore came to the debate, moderated by WGBH's Jim Braude, armed with a litany of critiques of Galvin's years in office and focused his message on making the state's voting system more secure. The challenger said Galvin isn't doing enough to modernize the 12-year-old paper ballot system.
Amore said Galvin's request for funds from the federal Department of Homeland Security to enhance security shows that the system is vulnerable.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd.

Warren, Diehl Take On Local Issues, Washington Partisanship In Springfield Debate
quote:Democratic incumbent Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Republican challenger state Rep. Geoff Diehl met face to face for the second time in two days Sunday evening, this time in Springfield for a debate that took on a much more measured tone than the first and focused heavily on local issues.
The roughly one-hour debate moderated by WGBY’s Carrie Saldo, touched on a series of policy areas impacting western Massachusetts such as the state’s nascent marijuana business and expansion of the commuter rail service. The issues of social security and tenor of politics also provided for moments of stark disagreement between Warren and Diehl.
Warren, of Cambridge, frequently returned to her record in Congress as a reason she deserved another term and Diehl touted his knowledge of local issues and record as a state legislator from Whitman as an example of him being more in sync with Massachusetts voters.
On marijuana, Diehl and Warren both affirmed that the budding industry is vital to Western Massachusetts and believed the federal government, which outlaws the drug, should offer leniency to state that have legalized it.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd.

Aldus Jim Acosta op twitter.quote:Trump’s continued talk of a middle class tax cut right before the midterms, like at tonight’s rally in Texas, apppears to be an acknowledgment that the GOP tax cut is not viewed by enough Americans as particularly helpful to them and perhaps more geared toward wealthier folks.
Inderdaad, waarom wil de GOP dit nu? De Taxgrab was toch al zo'n succes? Of toch niet? Kreeg de middenklasse slechts wat kruimels?
