Caricature Donald Trump et Porto Rico
Caricature de RJ Matson, CagleCartoons.com
Matson est un brin malhonnête dans sa caricature, l'aide a été déployée et elle serait adéquate dans les circonstances. Une fois de plus c'est la gestion des relations que Trump envenime en tardant à se manifester puis en s'en prenant à la mairesse de San Juan qui lançait un cri du coeur.

Travailler jusqu'à sa mort: la nouvelle réalité des gens âgés aux États-Unis?
"People are living longer, more expensive lives, often without much of a safety net. As a result, record numbers of Americans older than 65 are working — now nearly 1 in 5. That proportion has risen steadily over the past decade, and at a far faster rate than any other age group. Today, 9 million senior citizens work, compared with 4 million in 2000.
While some work by choice rather than need, millions of others are entering their golden years with alarmingly fragile finances. Fundamental changes in the U.S. retirement system have shifted responsibility for saving from the employer to the worker, exacerbating the nation’s rich-poor divide. Two recent recessions devastated personal savings. And at a time when 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every day, Social Security benefits have lost about a third of their purchasing power since 2000."

Hugh Hefner meurt à 91 ans
"Love him or loathe him, no one doubts Mr. Hefner's influence in American cultural history," The New York Times wrote in 2009. "As a magazine publisher, he essentially did for sex what Ray Kroc did for roadside food: clean it up for a rising middle class."
Although he was accused repeatedly throughout his career of objectifying and degrading women, Hefner remained unapologetic about Playboy's mission.
"If you don't encourage healthy sexual expression in public, you get unhealthy sexual expression in private," his magazine quoted him as saying in 1974. "If you attempt to suppress sex in books, magazines, movies and even everyday conversation, you aren't helping to make sex more private, just more hidden. You're keeping sex in the dark. What we've tried to do is turn on the lights."

"Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House" (critique du New York Times)
"But whether "Mark Felt" adds clarity to the legend of Watergate or further mythologizes it is up for debate. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the famed journalists whose reporting earned the Washington Post a Pulitzer Prize, say Peter Landesman's film overstates the importance of Felt in untangling Watergate, portraying him as a puppet master pulling the strings that would, as the subtitle asserts, topple Richard Nixon.
Felt, then the No. 2 official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, played an integral role in exposing Nixon's attempted cover-up. But by depicting Felt as the grand orchestrator of the president's demise, Woodward and Bernstein say, "Mark Felt" distorts the history — and lessons — of Watergate.
"Felt played a role, at times a courageous one," Woodward told The Associated Press. "But this portrait of him as 'the man who brought down the White House' just isn't accurate."

Abrogation d'Obamacare: le Sénat ne votera pas sur le plan Graham-Cassidy
"The Senate will not vote on Republicans' latest bill to repeal Obamacare this week, putting an end, for now, to the GOP's seven-year campaign promise to dismantle the health care law.
The decision was reached at a party lunch Tuesday after it became clear the plan would fail, GOP senators said. Three Senate Republicans had already said they would vote against the measure, and the GOP could only afford two defections."

Courriels privés: six membres de l'entourage de Donald Trump ont utilisé leur compte personnel dans le cadre du travail
"The disclosures came a day after news surfaced that Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and adviser, used a private email account to send or receive about 100 work-related emails during the administration’s first seven months. But Mr. Kushner was not alone. Stephen K. Bannon, the former chief White House strategist, and Reince Priebus, the former chief of staff, also occasionally used private email addresses. Other advisers, including Gary D. Cohn and Stephen Miller, sent or received at least a few emails on personal accounts, officials said.
Ivanka Trump, the president’s elder daughter, who is married to Mr. Kushner, used a private account when she acted as an unpaid adviser in the first months of the administration, Newsweek reported Monday. Administration officials acknowledged that she also occasionally did so when she formally became a White House adviser. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter with reporters.
Officials are supposed to use government emails for their official duties so their conversations are available to the public and those conducting oversight. But it is not illegal for White House officials to use private email accounts as long as they forward work-related messages to their work accounts so they can be preserved."

Facebook et la publicité achetée par des intérêts russes: on tentait de favorise Jill Stein, Bernie Sanders et Donald Trump
"There is no indication Stein, Sanders or Trump was aware of the advertisements, which were described to POLITICO by people with knowledge of them.
Facebook declined to comment on the specifics of the advertisements but noted a previous statement: “The vast majority of ads run by these accounts didn’t specifically reference the U.S. presidential election or voting for a particular candidate. Rather, the ads and accounts appeared to focus on amplifying divisive social and political messages across the ideological spectrum — touching on topics from LGBT matters to race issues to immigration to gun rights.”
U.S. officials are investigating whether about 3,000 ads purchased on Facebook by the Kremlin-linked Internet Research Agency might have been part of a larger Russian government scheme to meddle in the 2016 election."

"“I'm about 99 percent sure there will be some criminal charges from this investigation,” said Blumenthal, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Blumenthal has also served as a U.S. attorney and spent 20 years as his state's attorney general.
Blumenthal said he is less certain Trump himself would end up facing charges, including for possible obstruction of justice for his firing of FBI Director James Comey."

Le Texas, Donald Trump et la NFL
"In a state-of-the-art sports bar alongside Interstate 20 about an hour east of Dallas on Monday night, there came the oddest non-sound: a silence that began to seem loud. It came from 14 tables and the crowded bar area. It filled the room as only silence can, and it lasted all the way through the national anthem being played through the screens from Arizona. It featured bar patrons who had been chattering or studying phones, their faces rapt with what looked like a mix of curiosity and respect.
It ended when the anthem ended, and with a booming cheer."

Les Cowboys de Dallas et leur propriétaire s'agenouillent avant le match
" Charlotte Jones Anderson, a Cowboys executive and the daughter of the owner, told ESPN’s Lisa Salters Monday that the team would take a knee “as a statement for equality and as a representation of unity.” According to Salters, Anderson said that the players wanted to “separate that message from the national anthem.”"

Donald Trump et la gênante décision des Penguins (Martin Leclerc, Radio-Canada)
"Quand un fabricant de jeans exploite des enfants et que vous achetez ses produits, vous n’êtes pas neutre. Vous prenez position. Quand des travailleurs sont en lock-out ou en grève et que vous franchissez les lignes de piquetage, vous n’êtes pas neutre. Vous prenez position. Dans la même veine, si le président américain s’attaque à des valeurs fondamentales et que vous acceptez d’aller vous faire photographier avec lui, vous n’êtes pas neutre. Vous prenez position.
Et c’est franchement désolant."

Donald Trump, la NFL et le NASCAR: encore et toujours la base...
"And while the NFL has borne the brunt of Trump’s criticism, the president’s national anthem-related focus wandered Monday morning to NASCAR, with the president praising the stock car racing league “and its supporters and fans. They won't put up with disrespecting our Country or our Flag - they said it loud and clear!”
Multiple team owners from NASCAR, which is especially popular in the South and in more rural parts of the U.S., took a tougher stance than those from the NFL, warning that they would fire crew members or drivers who protest during the anthem. The Associated Press reported that Sunday’s race in New Hampshire appeared to be protest-free during the anthem."
Dale Earnhardt Jr., the recently retired NASCAR driver who nonetheless remains perhaps the sport’s biggest star, weighed in Monday morning, writing on Twitter that “all Americans R granted rights 2 peaceful protests” and quoting former President John F. Kennedy, “those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

NFL: nombreuses manifestations pour dénoncer les propos de Donald Trump
"Rather than taking a knee, most NFL players opted for a show of unity Sunday, locking arms ahead of their games amid criticism from President Trump who slammed players opting to protest during the national anthem.
Still, plenty opted to kneel during "The Star-Spangled Banner," with the Baltimore Ravens' Terrell Suggs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Mike Evans among the stars following the lead of former pro quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who pioneered the anthem protests last year."

La NFL offre une réponse mesurée à Donald Trump
"Wisely, Goodell and other owners refused Trump’s bid to separate players from fans by playing on their economic and racial differences. “Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game, and all of our players, and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities,” Goodell said in a statement. It’s at its best as a league when it has “unity,” Goodell stressed."

Hassan Rohani le prochain Rocket man?
"The North Koreans may have been willing to trade away the possibility of nuclear weapons for promises of better relations. After the first nuclear weapons test, however, the window on denuclearizing North Korea began to close. Bush and then President Barack Obama each tried to reach an agreement with Pyongyang, but those efforts collapsed for many reasons that leave enough blame to go around.
It is far easier to persuade a country to abandon nuclear weapons it does not have. That is why the Obama administration threw itself into finding a solution to a not-yet-nuclear Iran. When asked about the festering problem of North Korea’s nuclear weapons, the administration had little to offer other than to point to its efforts to stop Tehran from following suit.
And so here we are. Trump is faced with precisely the same choice as Bush — although with one important difference. Unlike North Korea, with its covert uranium enrichment program, Iran remains in compliance with the agreement signed in Vienna. The IAEA is absolutely clear on this fact, and Trump has twice certified that Iran is in compliance. And yet, like Bolton in 2002, there are those who are simply looking for a hammer."

La maladie mentale affecte-t-elle-t-elle Donald Trump ou tout le pays? (Washington Post)
"If so, what should we make of the nation that entrusted him with precisely such powers? In his new book, “Twilight of American Sanity,” psychiatrist Allen Frances asserts that Trump is not mentally ill — we are. “Calling Trump crazy allows us to avoid confronting the craziness in our society,” he writes. “We can’t expect to change Trump, but we must work to undo the societal delusions that created him.” And those delusions, Kurt Andersen contends in “Fantasyland,” have been around for a long time. “People tend to regard the Trump moment — this post-truth, alternative facts moment — as some inexplicable and crazy new American phenomenon,” he writes. “In fact, what’s happening is just the ultimate extrapolation and expression of attitudes and instincts that have made America exceptional for its entire history.”
So, depending on which of these books you trust — and their persuasive powers vary considerably — you might conclude that Trump is of unsound mind, or that we’re the deranged ones for electing him, or that America has always been disturbed, with Trump’s presidency just the latest manifestation.
And here’s the really crazy thing: These options are not mutually exclusive."
