Trump moves to strip India of special trade status

The Trump administration announced Friday that it would no longer permit India to have special trade status.

The White House will cut off special treatment of India, which is currently exempt from billions in tariffs, on June 5, The New York Times reported.

The notice of the change asserted that India did not allow the U.S. “equitable and reasonable access to its markets.”

The administration will also tax Indian solar panels and washers, according to The Times, halting an exemption that India and other countries obtained.

A Saturday statement from India's Ministry of Commerce called the development "unfortunate," saying that the country tried to offer the U.S. ways to move forward.

"India as part of our bilateral trade discussions, had offered resolution on significant US requests in an effort to find a mutually acceptable way forward," it said. "It is unfortunate that this did not find acceptance by the US."

The U.S. and India have been in disagreement over trade for months, particularly over Indian protectionism and U.S. attempts to prevent the country from buying Iranian oil, according to The Times.

Er zit inderdaad geen enkel verschil tussen een gewapende agent met een geweldsmandaat en iemand die je bedient in een fastfoodrestaurant. Goed verhaal Hans.

A Georgia police officer was indicted Thursday on felony charges after a video surfaced showing him beating a homeless woman.

DeKalb County police officer Phillip Larscheid, 29, was indicted Thursday by a grand jury on charges of aggravated assault and violation of his oath of office, The Associated Press reported, citing county District Attorney Sherry Boston.

Officers initially cleared Larscheid of wrongdoing after he was arrested in 2017, Boston told the AP, but it reopened its investigation after a video of the incident surfaced.

The video of the incident, posted to YouTube by a local TV station, shows an officer beating up a woman with his police baton

Als het nodig is om een agent te filmen is er sprake van een ander probleem dat vraagt om een andere oplossing.

Central to this reality is that Robert Mueller, an honorable but antiquated public servant who is ill-suited for these bizarre times, is clearly not willing to do what would be necessary for impeachment to be publicly viable among a populace which is lazy and ignorant.

His supposedly dramatic statement Wednesday was far too nuanced and reserved to impact real voters, and was easily dismissed by the state-run “conservative” media as meaningless.

In short, what Mueller said might have been effective enough if it happened when his report was released, but now, especially after the damage done by Barr, it is simply too little, too late. His current unwillingness to testify publicly strips the impeachment movement of its most powerful weapon.

quote:

While hardly a complete list, here are the most clear-cut impeachable acts for which there is sufficient evidence to impeach President Trump:

1. Being in constant and blatant violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, prohibiting the acceptance of payments from foreign governments.

2. Welcoming help in an election from a foreign adversary, with whom he was trying to do a massive business deal, and not informing the authorities what was happening, before eventually lying about those same intelligence agencies for his own political survival.

3. Firing FBI Director James Comey just AFTER telling him to go easy on fired NSA Michael Flynn, and demanding his personal loyalty.

4. Directing his then lawyer Michael Cohen to commit campaign finance violations to cover up his affairs, and doing the same, possibly through his lawyers, to get Cohen to lie to Congress about the timing of the Trump Tower Moscow project.

5. Directing then White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire Robert Mueller and then telling him to make a false statement saying Trump never actually did that.

6. Obstructing justice in the Paul Manafort case by overtly dangling a pardon for him and, bizarrely, condemning the prosecution and defending Manafort, in what was effectively an act of jury tampering, while his unsequestered jury was still deliberating.

7. Lying multiple times in his written answers to Mueller, claiming an absurd 37 times that he could not remember key events.

8. Firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions clearly because he recused himself from the Russia investigation, which was proven to be his intent when he replaced him with Bill Barr, who has actively deceived the public in an obvious, and somewhat successful, attempt to kill the impact of the Mueller Report.

A Great Country Would Have Already Impeached Trump, But Maybe We Should Just Admit We No Longer Qualify

Aardig spot on opiniestuk dat in het huidige politieke landschap de democraten geen impeachment gaan bereiken tegen Trump.

A list of accomplishments by Nevada Dems since gaining control of the state:

- Defying the Trump EO and continuing to let trans people serve in the NV National Guard
- Expanding early and absentee voting
- voter re-enfranchisement for everyone not currently incarcerated
- banning prison gerrymandering
- moving local election dates to coincide with state/federal ones
- allowing polling places on Native American reservations
- expanded marijuana decriminalization and medicinal legalization
- sealing records for marijuana offenses
- made minor traffic violations into civil infractions so you don't have a criminal record for things like speeding or parking tickets
- passed a law making it easier for city governments to upzone
- tax credit program for building low income housing near public transportation
- repealed the ban on collective bargaining for unions
- banned gay conversion therapy
- banned the use of a victims sexual or gender orientation as an excuse for violent crimes. The "gay panic" defense will no longer be accepted in the Nevada court of law.
- codified the ACA's protection for pre-existing conditions into state law, so that even a federal repeal would not affect the state's.
- Passing a bill which removes restrictions on abortions such as age restrictions, requirements for doctors to ask about the husband, and requiring a witness to approve the abortion. It also decriminalizes giving women after-sex contraception, birth control, and abortion drugs without doctor's consent.
