Als het niet was gestegen had ik m'n hoed opgegeten. Je wist gewoon dat de Sondland hearing effect zou hebben op independents.

Blijkt dus, van de 14 YouGov polls sinds begin oktober haalt deze het hoogste percentage "Yes", laagste percentage "No" (voor independents). Een verschil van +6 procentpunten, het gemiddelde van de 13 andere polls was -1.7.

Maar het is slechts een momentopname idd.

Natuurlijk is Carlson voor Poetin.

quote:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Mark Esper declared that President Donald Trump ordered him to stop a disciplinary review of a Navy SEAL accused of battlefield misconduct, an intervention that raised questions about America’s commitment to international standards for battlefield ethics.

Esper’s comments Monday were the latest twist in the case of Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher, which led to a conflict between Trump and armed services leaders over military discipline. The dispute peaked over the weekend with the firing of Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer.

Gallagher was acquitted of murder in the stabbing death of an Islamic State militant captive but convicted by a military jury of posing with the corpse while in Iraq in 2017.

Esper initially favored allowing the Navy to proceed with a peer-review board which could have resulted in Gallagher losing his SEAL status, but he said he was obliged to follow Trump’s order. Still, Esper also directed the Pentagon’s legal office to review how service members are educated in the laws of armed conflict and trained to wartime behavioral standards.

“I can control what I can control,” Esper told reporters when asked whether Trump sent the right message to U.S. troops by intervening to stop the Gallagher review. “The president is the commander in chief. He has every right, authority and privilege to do what he wants to do.”

Vind dit trouwens erg bijzonder. Inmiddels is onomstotelijk vastgesteld dat de Russen de Amerikaanse verkiezingen hebben proberen te beïnvloeden (en daar ook deels in zijn geslaagd). Daarnaast is Rusland Oekraïne binnengevallen (zonder dat de grote buurman werd geprovoceerd) en hebben de Ruski's een vliegtuig neergeschoten waar ook Amerikanen in zaten.

En Carlson is 'rooting' voor Poetin? Oke.

PoliticsWolf twitterde op maandag 25-11-2019 om 23:06:32 Just as I expected, Kentucky Republicans are now plotting to strip Democratic Gov.-elect Andy Beshear of certain executive powers after he defeated GOP Gov. Matt Bevin this month. Republicans simply refuse to respect Dems' legitimacy to govern https://t.co/gQlGY8GCmb reageer retweet

quote:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – State Senate leaders are backing a bill that would limit the governor’s power to name a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet secretary, essentially shifting that role to a citizen board nominated by influential business and government groups.

The newly created board would develop the first draft of the state’s two-year road budget and base it on an “objective scoring system.” The governor’s administration now creates the plan sent to legislators.

Among other duties, the nine-member Kentucky Transportation Board would compile a list of candidates for Transportation Secretary, then send the names to the governor. He or she would choose from that list.

The bill also would make the Transportation Secretary subject to Senate confirmation – the only cabinet leader in a governor’s administration with that requirement.

The measure is sponsored by three Republicans in the GOP-controlled legislature – Sen. Jimmy Higdon; vice chair of the Senate Transportation Committee; committee chair Sen. Ernie Harris; and Senate President Robert Stivers. It was prefiled on Nov. 5, the day Democratic Gov.-elect Andy Beshear defeated incumbent Republican Gov. Matt Bevin.

Devin Nunes and Ukraine Disinformation Efforts"Let me also highlight one important finding....https://t.co/6LmTrXrwnY reageer retweet

quote:

Rep. Devin Nunes (R.-Ca) and his top aide, Derek Harvey, have allegedly been working in part with Rudy Giuliani and his associates, including indicted businessman Lev Parnas, to get dirt from Ukraine on Joe Biden and to pursue other discredited conspiracy theories that would benefit President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign, according to a series of news reports in recent days (CNN, NBC, Washington Post, CNBC, and Daily Beast). The information largely comes from two of Parnas’s lawyers, Joseph Bondy and Ed MacMahon, who say their client is prepared to provide testimony under penalty of law to Congress. Representative Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee conducting the probe, says he will decide whether to call Parnas based on a review of what Bondy says are thousands of pages of records Parnas has provided to the panel under subpoena.

Because of Parnas’s interest in securing a potential immunity deal with Congress, it is important to consider his lawyers’ statements to the press in that context, as Marcy Wheeler has cautioned.

The following Timeline will be updated as new information becomes available. Please contact us if there are items, favorable or unfavorable to Rep. Nunes, that you believe should be added to the Clearinghouse.

Het 'Oekraine anti-Trump inmenging'-narratief wordt nu heel erg gepusht door de Republikeinen. Een duidelijke tactiek om de invloed van de (anti-Clinton) Russische inmenging te bagatelliseren.
