Ed anche questa e' America

  Oltre alla carta igienica gli americani si precipitano a comprare armi FBI firearm background checks set another all-time record in June By Josh Campbell  (CNN) (CNN)More and more Americans appear to be arming themselves following a month of continued fears over the deadly coronavirus pandemic and images of some rioters causing damage after hijacking peaceful protests demanding racial justice. The FBI conducted more than 3.9 million background checks associated with the sale, transfer or permitting of firearms in June, making it the highest month on record for background checks since the bureau began keeping statistics in 1998, according to new data released on Wednesday by the agency. By comparison, the bureau conducted 2.3 million checks in June 2019. The figures released for June 2020 also eclipse the previous record set in March 2020, when the bureau conducted 3.7 million checks. The states with the highest number of background checks conducted were Illin...

  Scenario: Trump perde e rifiuta il verdetto delle urne. Anche se le analisi recenti mettono in evidenza che Biden gode di un margine di nove punti rispetto a Trump, sono frequenti gli allarmi messi in circolo da esperti elettorali circa la possibilita' che il presidente rifiuti il verdetto delle urne adducendo accuse di frose a vario titolo. Questo scenario di 'guerra' e' stato analizzato nei giorni scorsi da un team di politology a George Town University ed ha portato a sconcertanti risultati. Si aggiunga che il venerando sistema di voto americano basato sui collegi elettorali e non sui voti popolari si presta a interrogativi sulla sorte della democrazia mericana dopo il 3 novembre 2020. _____________________________________________ What if Trump loses but insists he won? Opinion by Max Boot (TWP) On his present trajectory, President Trump is heading for a whopping defeat in November. The Economist says there’s nearly a 99 percent chan...

  Perche' l'America di Trump non puo' essere come l'Italia? By   Paul Krugman The New York Times I don’t mean to peddle facile national stereotypes. For all its problems, Italy is a serious and sophisticated country, not a comic-opera stage set. Still, Italy entered this pandemic with major disadvantages compared with the United States. After all, Italy’s bureaucracy isn’t famed for its efficiency, nor are its citizens known for their willingness to follow rules. The nation’s government is deeply in debt, and this debt matters because Italy doesn’t have its own currency; this means that it can’t do what we do , and print lots of money in a crisis. Unfavorable demography and economic troubles are also major Italian disadvantages. The ratio of seniors to working-age adults is the highest in the Western world. Italy’s growth record is deeply disappointing: Per capita G.D.P. has stagnated for two decades. When it came to dealing with Covid-19, howeve...

  INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history, Trump floats idea of delaying the November election, a power granted to Congress, as he ramps up attacks on voting by mail As the coronavirus pandemic continues to evolve, several states have begun preparations for vote-by-mail options in the 2020 election. (Blair Guild/The Washington Post) By John Wagner and Amy Gardner (TWP) President Trump on Thursday floated the prospect of delaying the November election, as he ramped up his attacks on mail-in voting, claiming without evidence that its widespread use would be a “catastrophic disaster” that could lead to fraudulent results. “With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history,” Trump tweeted. “It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???” The U.S. Constitution gives the power to regulate the “time, plac...

  Ipotesi: Trump rifiuta il voto e ordina ai generali di prendere il controllo della nazione Will Trump defy the voters? Let him try. Opinion by Matt Bai  (TWP) In 2017, Donald Trump became the first American president in history to complain about the fairness of an election he had just won. So it should surprise no one that Trump has already declined to accept the results of an election he is likely to lose. The vote in November will be “ INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT ,” Trump tweeted in his latest salvo on the subject, intensifying fears that he will become the first American president to refuse an orderly transfer of power. You know what? We should hope he does. Because that kind of constitutional crisis might be exactly what the country needs to put this nightmare behind us. It’s no longer really a question of whether Trump will try to defy the will of the electorate, should he lose, but rather how. For months now, he’s been assailing the credibility of mail-...

  President Obama's Full DNC Speech from Philadelphia | NBC10 Philadelphia Un discorso di grande valore politico. Questa e' la risposta di Trump su Tweet Trump tried to minimize Obama’s full throated support of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden by asking why he didn’t endorse Biden earlier in the primary. “WHY DID HE REFUSE TO ENDORSE SLOW JOE UNTIL IT WAS ALL OVER, AND EVEN THEN WAS VERY LATE? WHY DID HE TRY TO GET HIM NOT TO RUN?” Trump tweeted Wednesday.

    L'ultima di Trump L'ultima di Trump. Siccome la direzione della Goodyear che ha stabilimenti in Ohio (stato da cui dipende la rielezione di Trump) ha deciso che gli operai non possono portare durante le ore di lavoro i berretti MAGA (make America great again) distribuiti da Trump o quelli di altri partiti, il presidente ha invitato gli americani a non comprare gli pneumatici di quella marca.

  E se ci provasse...?   Donald Trump ha ora una sola e grande preoccupazione personale: quella di non farsi incastrare dal Eastern District of New York presso il quale sono accese indagini che riguardano accuse e denunce di stupro, bancarotta, relazioni con potenze straniere e via citando. Al momento ha dato inizio ad una campagna di perdoni cominciando dal discusso generale Michael Flyin sul quale pendeva la condanna a sette anni di reclusione per avere negato all'FBI i suoi contatti con esponenti russi e la sua posizione quale agente del governo turco nonostante ricoprisse l'alto incarico di consulente per il presidente della sicurezza nazionale. Perdonare la cricca di yes men condannati ma incapace di perdonare se stesso. Sta circolando in questi giorni a Washington l'ipotesi che Donald Trump pensi ad utilizzare il 25º emendamento della Costituzione americana specificamente per quanto riguarda la sezione numero tre che recita:  Section 3. Whenever ...

  Supreme Court rejects Texas' effort to overturn election in fatal blow to Trump legal blitz to stop Biden While the suit attracted President Trump's support and was endorsed by many Republicans in Congress, it suffered from several legal and factual shortcomings.     President Donald Trump arrives for the Operation Warp Speed Vaccine Summit in Washington on Dec. 8, 2020.Saul Loeb / AFP - Getty Images Dec. 11, 2020, 6:40 PM EST By Pete Williams WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday said it would not consider a lawsuit filed by Texas that sought to overturn Joe Biden's election victory in four battleground states. While the suit attracted President Trump's support and was endorsed by many Republicans in Congress, it suffered from several legal and factual shortcomings. President Donald Trump called the case "the big one ," and 126 of the 196 Republicans in the U.S. House urged the court to take it. Supporters of the Trump campaign saw the Tex...

  Legge Marziale, Nuove elezioni, contro Inaugurazione Pro Trump   Lo abbiamo scritto qualche settimana fa su questo blog e 'non' ci fa piacere verificare che le nostre informazioni erano valide: si vivono oggi a Washington ore di trepidazione di cui si fanno portavoce ormai tutti i media a cominciare da CNN e MSNBC. La domanda di fondo ricorrente è: "Che combinerà adesso Donald Trump?". Ci si attende un colpo di coda da far rabbrividire. Ad essere preoccupati sono soprattutto gli alti responsabili del Pentagono che, a parte una insistente attività di soffiate agli amici giornalisti, non hanno la possibilità di emergere perché l'attuale presidente ha decapitato il vertice della Difesa mettendoci dei propri giannizzeri il cui primo impegno è stato quello di proibire ogni contatto con il team di Joe Biden per la transizione dei poteri. Comunque a parlare fuori dai denti è stato il generale Michael Flyinn già condannato per aver mentito allo FBI in ...

  Basta con la follia ! Questo e' il giornale preferito dell'editore australiano Murdoch, grande amico e sostenitore per decenni di Trump. Anche il genero del presidente ha una sostanziosa partecipazione. Mr. President, it’s time to end this dark charade. We’re one week away from an enormously important moment for the next four years of our country. On Jan. 5, two runoff races in Georgia will determine which party will control the Senate — whether Joe Biden will have a rubber stamp or a much-needed check on his agenda. Unfortunately, you’re obsessed with the next day, Jan. 6, when Congress will, in a pro forma action, certify the Electoral College vote . You have tweeted that, as long as Republicans have “courage,” they can overturn the results and give you four more years in office. In other words, you’re cheering for an undemocratic coup. You had every right to investigate the election. But let’s be clear: Those efforts have found nothing. To take just two exam...

  Trump’s 'biggest fear' is 'massive' IRS bills and potential tax fraud charges, says Michael Cohen (Yahoo News) Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime former personal attorney, has a theory. He believes the president is terrified of receiving a large bill from the Internal Revenue Service. “His biggest fear is … he will end up with a massive tax bill, fraud penalties, fines, and possibly even tax fraud,” Cohen said in an interview with Yahoo News on Monday, the morning after the New York Times published a report detailing how Trump, a self-described billionaire, paid zero dollars in income taxes for more than 10 years. Michael Cohen, former attorney to President Trump, says the president's biggest fear is a huge tax bill from the IRS. (Matt McClain/The Washington Post via Getty Images) The article, which was based on tax return data obtained by the Times, also revealed that Trump paid only $750 in income taxes both in 2016, as he ran for office...
