teken aan de wand in Pennsylvania:

In a victory certain to reverberate across Pennsylvania’s political landscape, Democrats on Tuesday gained control of the Delaware County Council, the controlling body of the historically red Philadelphia suburb.

Tuesday’s race was the first time in generations that Democrats presented a real challenge to the Republican machine that has ruled the county since before the Civil War. Buoyed by a general anti-Trump sentiment and encouraged by the historic win of two seats on the council in 2017, Democrats anticipated an easy victory.

As results were being finalized Tuesday night, Democrats were poised to clinch three additional seats on the council, thanks largely to straight-ticket voting by their base, which outnumbers registered Republicans in the county by about 30,000.

A blue wave on Election Day shifted the political landscape in Chester, Delaware and Bucks counties.

It was a night of firsts in the Philadelphia suburbs. For the first time since the Civil War, Delaware County Council will be under Democratic control.

Christine Reuther, Elaine Schaefer and Dr. Monica Taylor won the three open County Council seats. They will join Kevin Madden and Brian Sidek, who became the first Democrats elected to council in 2017.

There will also be a new district attorney, as Democrat Jack Stollsteimer beat incumbent Kat Copeland.

In Chester County, for the first time ever, Democrats have the majority on the Board of Commissioners. Josh Maxwell and Marian Moskowitz will join the board in the only county in the Philadelphia region where there are more registered Republicans than Democrats.

Deb Ryan will be Chester County’s new district attorney after she defeated Republican Mike Noone, who is currently second-in-command in the DA’s office.

Also, in Bucks County, for the first time in 30 years, the Dems have the majority of the three-seat county commissioners. Robert Havie was elected and will join fellow Democrat Diane Ellis-Marseglia, who won re-election. Republican State Rep. Gene DiGirolamo will represent the minority.

Political strategist Larry Ceisler says Democrats were energized to vote against President Donald Trump's party.

"There was more excitemenet on the Democratic side," he said, "and that's why Democratic turnout was so much higher."

The woman who lost her job after she flipped off President Donald Trump's motorcade two years ago was elected Tuesday to a Virginia county's board of supervisors.

Juli Briskman, a Democrat, made headlines in late 2017 when a White House photographer captured her raising her middle finger while riding her bike in Sterling, Virginia, as Trump drove by leaving a golf course.

The simple act earned her praise from many liberal corners online, who called her a "she-ro" and used the hashtag, #her2020.

But the act also cost Briskman her job at government contractor Akima LLC.

Now, Briskman has beat out a Republican incumbent Suzanne Volpe to serve as the Algonkian District supervisor in Loudoun County, Virginia.

Virginia, House, 2017:

Republicans won the House in 2017 by the thinnest of margins — when a state elections official pulled Republican candidate David E. Yancey’s name from a bowl, breaking a tie with Democratic candidate Shelly Simonds.

Letterlijk, een papierje met de naam Yancy, nadat ze gelijk eindigden.

Maar dit jaar, 2019: Shelly Simmonds 57.% vs David Yancy 40.3%.

Most Republicans on impeachment committees aren’t showing up, transcripts reveal
Freedom Caucus members have taken lead role in questioning, foreshadowing public hearings

Republicans have for weeks blasted the closed-door impeachment process, but transcripts released this week of private depositions show most GOP lawmakers on the three panels at the center of the probe have simply not shown up.

The low attendance for most committee Republicans paints a very different picture of a party that recently stormed the secure room where the depositions have been conducted, demanding to participate in the process. Republican questioning during these private interviews have been driven by a handful of President Donald Trump’s allies and GOP staff.

Conservative Republicans, many closely tied to Trump from the hard-line House Freedom Caucus, have led the GOP questioning, a preview of the coming tumultuous public impeachment process. What is unclear is what role, if any, other Republicans will play.

Klagen dat ze niet deelnemen aan het process waar ze willens en wetens vrijwillig niet aan deelnemen.

Ocharm, wat een triest stelletje :-)

drain the swamp!

Oct 25

The Trump Organization is considering selling off the rights to the Trump International Hotel, the Washington hotspot near the White House that's become a magnet for Republicans, lobbyists, foreign governments and legal challenges.

"Since we opened our doors, we have received tremendous interest in this hotel and as real estate developers, we are always willing to explore our options," Trump Organization executive vice president Eric Trump confirmed to NBC News in a statement Friday. "People are objecting to us making so much money on the hotel, and therefore we may be willing to sell."

The company said it's hired the real estate firm JLL to assist with the possible sale of its interest in the Trump International. The company's moves were first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Citing people familiar with the matter, the Journal, said the Trump Organization is hoping to pull in over $500 million from the sale — about $2 million per hotel room.

The announcement came one day after the House Transportation Committee subpoenaed the General Services Administration for financial documents involving the hotel that the government agency has been refusing to turn over.

While the Trump Organization holds the rights to operate the hotel for 60 years, the property itself is owned by the federal government. The Trumps spent $200 million transforming the Old Post Office building into a five-star hotel.

"Political appointees at the GSA are trying to hide behind a pathetic excuse that Congress — a co-equal branch of the Federal government tasked with conducting oversight — can't have key documents regarding a federally-owned property currently leased by the president," Transportation Committee hair Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., said Thursday.

NBC News reported in June that representatives of at least 22 foreign governments have spent money at various Trump properties including the hotel during his presidency. The extent of that spending is unknown because the Trump Organization is a private company and has declined to disclose that information.

(Getting out while it is still worth something?)

During a rally Monday evening in Lexington, Kentucky, President Donald Trump urged his fans to go out and vote for incumbent Gov. Matt Bevin (R), warning them that a high-profile loss in a state he won by 30 points in 2016 “sends a really bad message” and pleading, “you can’t let that happen to me!”

Well, that “bad message” was sent. Though Bevin has not conceded the race as of Wednesday morning, with all of the precincts reporting, he appears to have lost to Democratic Attorney General Andy Beshear by just over 5,000 votes.

As it became clear that Bevin was headed for defeat on Tuesday evening, footage of Trump’s comments from the night before went viral.

Here’s Trump saying at his rally in Kentucky last night that Matt Bevin losing “sends a really bad message” and pleading with his fans, “you can’t let that happen to me!”

Welp, it happened.

Trump, as he is in the habit of doing, responded to Bevin’s loss with brazen gaslighting. Though the most recent Kentucky poll showed Bevin leading by five points, Trump tweeted without evidence that Bevin “picked up at least 15 points in last days, but perhaps not enough (Fake News will blame Trump!).” He touted Republican victories in down-ballot races and the fact that a Republican won the gubernatorial race in deep-red Mississippi (while ignoring Democrats flipping both the state House and Senate in Virginia).

Juli Briskman verloor baan vanwege foto
’Middelvingervrouw’ neemt wraak op Trump

Door onze redactie buitenland
8 min geleden in BUITENLAND

Amsterdam - Juli Briskman, de vrouw die in 2017 haar baan verloor omdat ze al fietsend ze haar middelvinger opstak naar de passerende presidentiële colonne van Donald Trump , heeft gisteren wraak genomen. Ze was een van de winnaars van de lokale verkiezingen in Virginia in het district waar ook een golfclub van de president gevestigd is.

Het ’moment van de middelvinger’ werd toevalligerwijs gefotografeerd en het beeld ging de hele wereld over. Briskman, die op dat moment bij bij een bedrijf werkte dat veel regeringsopdrachten kreeg, werd vanwege de foto ontslagen.

In een interview met de Guardian vertelde ze waarom ze destijds tot haar daad kwam. „Dit was gewoon de enige manier waarop ik mijn mening kon geven. Hij zou me toch niet kunnen horen door al het kogelvrije glas, dus dit was de enige manier waarmee ik kon zeggen wat ik wilde zeggen”.

De foto speelde een grote rol in haar verkiezingscampagne. Ze is nu gekozen in de raad van toezicht in haar kiesdistrict Loudon County, een district waar ook de National Golf Club van Donald Trump in gevestigd is.

EPA Unveils Plan to Relax Rules on Coal Power Plants in US

The Trump administration accelerated the pace of its environmental rollbacks for the country's coal-fired power plants this week, proposing to weaken two Obama-era rules aimed at cleaning up dangerous heavy metals and ash from coal plants and keeping them from washing into groundwater and waterways. EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler said “The new proposals reduce heavy burdens on electricity producers across the country.”

One proposal would relax some 2015 requirements on coal-fired power plants for cleaning coal ash and toxic heavy metals, including mercury, arsenic and selenium, from plant wastewater before dumping it into waterways. The other would give some utilities up to several years more to clean up or close the more than 400 unlined coal ash dumps around the country that lie within a few feet of groundwater.

These proposals would roll back an Obama administration regulation outlining the types of technology that coal-fired power plants must use to capture and treat the wastewater that flows out of their facilities.

The administration plans a 60-day period for public comment on the two rule rewrites.

So who is Andrew Wheeler, de man die het een goed idee vindt om de kolenindustrie en energieindustrie een hart onder de riem te steken, ten koste van schoon drinkwater en andere nutteloze gezondheids en milieuregels? (Wheeler, de man die Scott Pruitt opvolgde nadat deze bleek enigszins ethisch onbegaafd te zijn....)

So who is Andrew Wheeler? And what is it about his particular career trajectory that makes the White House, energy-company executives, and assorted climate deniers think he’s a perfect fit for the Trump-era EPA?

Well, for starters, his most recent job was as an energy lobbyist. His biggest clients included Murray Energy Corporation, which proudly bills itself as the largest coal mining company in America, and whose CEO, Robert E. Murray, vigorously fought the Obama administration’s attempts to reduce carbon emissions and strengthen environmental and public health laws. Shortly after Trump took office, Murray, an unabashed climate denier, presented Vice President Mike Pence with a ridiculously pro-coal “action plan” that called for doing away with the Clean Power Plan, withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, eliminating federal tax credits for renewable energy, and—yes—halving the EPA’s workforce.

In his spare time, Wheeler serves as the vice president of the Washington Coal Club, a powerful yet little-known federation of more than 300 coal producers, lawmakers, business leaders, and policy experts who have dedicated themselves to preserving the uncertain future of our dirtiest fossil fuel. Wheeler clearly loves coal, but he’s also made time to lobby the U.S. Department of the Interior to open portions of the Bears Ears National Monument to uranium mining.

It gets worse. Before joining his current K Street lobbying firm, Wheeler worked as a legislative aide to Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe. Inhofe is without question the most virulent climate denier on Capitol Hill—a man who regularly refers to the science of climate change as “the greatest hoax” ever perpetrated on the American people and who told one radio interviewer that educating schoolchildren on the basics of climate science was tantamount to “brainwashing.” When Wheeler’s nomination was announced last year, Inhofe effusively praised the decision, saying that “there is no one more qualified than Andrew to help Scott Pruitt restore EPA to its proper size and scope.” (The italics are mine; the anxiety that they denote should be everybody’s.) In that same statement, Inhofe referred to Wheeler as his “close friend”; indeed, the two are close enough that Wheeler thought it perfectly appropriate to organize a fund-raiser for Inhofe last May, an act that many believe crossed ethical lines.

:-) Ok then. Drain the swamp!

Hoe wanhopig zijn die republikeinen eigenlijk? En hoe pervers?

Nou, een voorbeeldje, Kentucky...

Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers threw another wrench into the state's razor-thin gubernatorial outcome late Tuesday night, saying that the legislature could decide the race.

Stivers' comments came shortly after Gov. Matt Bevin refused to concede to Attorney General Andy Beshear, who led by roughly 5,100 votes when all the precincts were counted.

“There’s less than one-half of 1%, as I understand, separating the governor and the attorney general,” Stivers said. “We will follow the letter of the law and what various processes determine.”

Stivers, R-Manchester, said based on his staff’s research, the decision could come before the Republican-controlled state legislature.

Under state law, Bevin has 30 days to formally contest the outcome once it is certified by the State Board of Elections. Candidates typically ask for a re-canvass of voting machines and a recount first.

The last contested governor's race was the 1899 election of Democrat William Goebel.

Stivers said he thought Bevin’s speech declining to concede to Beshear was “appropriate.” He said believes most of the votes that went to Libertarian John Hicks, who received about 2% of the total vote, would have gone to Bevin and made him the clear winner.

Jazeker, de verliezer en zijn maatjes vinden dat stemmen die naar een andere kandidaat gingen eigenlijk voor hen hadden moeten zijn, en daarom tellen ze die voor het gemak maar op bij hun totaal zodat ze alsnog winnen...

En ze zijn serieus.......

Virginia flipped blue because the Dem governor redrew the districts to favor Democrats.

Da's onjuist....

A federal court on Thursday approved new district boundaries for the Virginia House of Delegates that were drawn by a court-appointed expert and are likely to benefit Democrats in November’s state election.

The U.S. District Court for Eastern District of Virginia voted 2 to 1 to finalize the map, which would put six Republicans into districts that would probably become majority Democratic, according to an analysis of recent elections by the nonpartisan Virginia Public Access Project. Several of those Republicans hold leadership positions — including House Speaker Kirk Cox (R-Colonial Heights).

Federal judges ruled last year that 11 of Virginia’s House of Delegates districts in the Richmond and Hampton Roads areas were racially gerrymandered — designed to concentrate black voters and deprive them of representation. After the General Assembly failed to agree on a redistricting plan last fall, the judges appointed Bernard Grofman, a professor at the University of California at Irvine, to draw new boundaries.

ik zie 4 polls: Bevin +5 (vlak voor de verkiezingen), tie, Bevion +6 en Beshear +8

Wie gelooft er nou nog in polls :-) :-)

Andere bron:

If Bevin loses in his re-election bid in Kentucky’s gubernatorial contest, Trump said on Monday that pundits “will say Trump suffered the greatest defeat ever.”

“You can’t let that happen to me,” the president said at an election eve rally at the storied home of the University of Kentucky’s basketball team.

A Mason-Dixon poll last month showed Bevin and Beshear tied, with each at 46% support. Beshear, the state’s attorney general, is the son of Steve Beshear, who served as the state’s Democratic governor immediately before Bevin.

“This is Trump’s safe zone, nationalizing campaigns for Republicans in need of help in deep red states,” Beacon’s analysts said.

Kortom: Bevin maak zijn race een trump race, en zijn politiek trump politiek (screw teachers, screw healthcare). Hij gedraagd zich als een minitrump.

En mag nu naar huis.
