Des émeutiers pro-Trump ont répandu des excréments dans les couloirs du Capitole américain

Les voyous de Trump à l'assaut du Capitole américain

Certains des émeutiers pro-Trump qui ont pris d’assaut le Capitole américain mercredi ont déféqué à l’intérieur du bâtiment historique et «traqué» leurs excréments dans plusieurs couloirs, a révélé le Daily News.

Une source proche du sénateur Chuck Schumer a déclaré que les membres du personnel avaient découvert le fiasco fécal jeudi.

Les attaquants, dont la violente invasion du Capitole a fait quatre morts, sont apparemment allés dans une salle de bain et ont ensuite répandu leurs excréments autour du bâtiment, laissant derrière eux des «empreintes de pas» brunâtres, selon la source.

Les partisans du président Trump ont affronté mercredi des agents de la police du Capitole devant la salle du Sénat à l’intérieur du Capitole américain. Encouragés par le président Trump, la foule d’émeutiers d’extrême droite a brisé des fenêtres, combattu des policiers et vandalisé les bureaux de législateurs.

Trump, apparemment inconscient de la tâche que sa présidence laisse sur l’histoire des États-Unis, a applaudi ses partisans extrémistes dans une vidéo Twitter supprimée depuis. «Nous vous aimons», leur a-t-il dit.

Schumer et des dizaines d’autres démocrates de Capitol Hill appellent à la destitution ou à la destitution de Trump via le 25èamendement à la lumière de son incitation à l’émeute.

La source a déclaré que la merde dans les couloirs du Capitole était le moindre des problèmes de Schumer pour le moment.

Méres Weche

C’est dans ma résidence familiale, en arrière de cette bâtisse en construction pour loger la ``Bibliothèque patrimoniale de Beaumont`` que j’ai dégusté la soupe de l’indépendance. Faite avec les mêmes ingrédients naturels qu’avait utilisés Marie-Claire Heureuse, pour ce repas de libération, le 1^er Janvier 1804, cette soupe traditionnelle, de grande valeur nutritive, constitue le plus précieux souvenir de ces valeureux ancêtres auxquels nous devons la fière patrie d’Haïti.

Ce rituel de cuisine qui est répété, à l’aube de chaque année, dans tous les foyers haïtiens, à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur du pays, nous rappelle la nécessité de toujours nous unir pour l’indispensable force nationale. Cette soupe de l’indépendance porte en elle une valeur spirituelle qui ravive notre mémoire de peuple et qui impose un devoir de solidarité dans les moments les plus difficiles de notre histoire. Deux-cents dix-sept ans après la première soupe de l’indépendance, nous nous devons, Haïtiennes et Haïtiens de partout, de vivre ce rituel de la soupe de l’indépendance, non seulement comme un impérieux devoir de mémoire, mais aussi comme une quête de forces nouvelles pour la régénération du pays.

Trump-directed email criticizes McConnell, includes polling graphic

By Leigh Ann Caldwell and Rebecca Shabad

WASHINGTON — House Republicans received an email Monday from a White House aide that showed a graphic critical of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and that said it was sent at the request of President Donald Trump.

The email wa from Molly A. Michael, special assistant to the president and Oval Office operations coordinator, according to two House Republicans who received the email.

A graphic was attached to the email, obtained by NBC News, and it showed a timeline of McConnell's polling numbers since May against his 2020 Democratic challenger, Amy McGrath. It suggested that McConnell was re-elected only because of Trump.

It said: "Sadly, Mitch forgot. He was the first one off the ship!"

The email suggested Trump is good for the Republican Party and led to the re-elections of GOP members. This comes as congressional Republicans face pressure to defend the president and challenge the election results

The email was sent after a meeting between the president and House Republicans Monday about "fighting back" in support of unfounded claims of voter fraud.

McConnell recognized Joe Biden’s election victory and called him the president-elect last Tuesday, after the Electoral College certified his win.

Michelle Obama Defends First Lady-Elect Dr. Jill Biden After That Misogynistic Op-Ed

"Is this really the example we want to set for the next generation?"

By Rachel Epstein

On Friday evening, the Wall Street Journal  criticizing First Lady-elect Dr. Jill Biden's use of the title "Dr." before her name, calling it "fraudulent, not to say a touch comic" because she isn't a medical doctor. To be clear, Dr. Biden earned her doctoral degree, as well as master's degrees—the author simply decided it wasn't up to his standards.

People expressed their anger and frustration on Twitter, calling the op-ed "a disgusting display of misogyny," as well as sexist and disrespectful. Today, Michelle Obama has something to say about it as well. On Monday morning, the former first lady posted a message on Instagram praising Dr. Biden's accomplishments and asking us, "Is this really the example we want to set for the next generation?"

Read Michele's story  about her 

For eight years, I saw Dr. Jill Biden do what a lot of professional women do—successfully manage more than one responsibility at a time, from her teaching duties to her official obligations in the White House to her roles as a mother, wife, and friend. And right now, we’re all seeing what also happens to so many professional women, whether their titles are Dr., Ms., Mrs., or even First Lady: All too often, our accomplishments are met with skepticism, even derision. We’re doubted by those who choose the weakness of ridicule over the strength of respect. And yet somehow, their words can stick—after decades of work, we’re forced to prove ourselves all over again.

Is this really the example we want to set for the next generation?

Dr. Biden gives us a better example. And this is why I feel so strongly that we could not ask for a better First Lady. She will be a terrific role model not just for young girls but for all of us, wearing her accomplishments with grace, good humor, and yes, pride. I’m thrilled that the world will see what I have come to know—a brilliant woman who has distinguished herself in her profession and with the life she lives every day, always seeking to lift others up, rather than tearing them down."

Giuliani sweats profusely while falsely accusing Biden of ‘horrible’ crimes…

Rudy Giuliani sweated so much during a press conference Thursday that streaks of what appeared to be dark hair dye streamed down his cheeks, making for a bizarre juxtaposition as the ex-mayor insisted without evidence that Democrats stole the election from President Trump.

Giuliani, who’s spearheading the Trump campaign’s bumbling legal battle to overturn Joe Biden’s election, did not appear to notice the black liquid dripping down from his sideburns, though he kept dabbing pearls of sweat from his face with a napkin.

It’s unclear what caused Giuliani’s profuse perspiration. Four other Trump campaign attorneys present for the press conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington did not appear clammy.

Sweating aside, Giuliani’s press conference was called to amplify Trump’s completely unfounded claim that Democratic officials used mail-in ballots to rig the Nov. 3 election against him.

“This is real! It is not made up!” Giuliani, who served as a federal prosecutor in New York in the 1980s, shouted at reporters in the room, as the black liquid smeared his face. “There is nobody here that engages in fantasy. I have tried a hundred cases. I prosecuted some of the most dangerous criminals in the world. I know crimes. I can smell them.”

Sidney Powell, one of Giuliani’s fellow Trump attorneys, piled on by falsely claiming Trump won the election “by a landslide.” She also took the conspiracy theory-mongering a step further than Giuliani.

Biden’s decisive victory, Powell claimed, was facilitated by “communist money through Venezuela, Cuba and likely China,” with operatives from the countries hacking into voting machines used in some states.

There’s not a shred of evidence for any of Powell’s outlandish claims.

In fact, election officials from both parties in all 50 states have asserted that the Nov. 3 contest was remarkably secure, and even the Trump administration’s own top cybersecurity official, Chris Krebs, said there were no irregularities or fraud. Trump fired Krebs this week in retaliation.

Despite the total lack of evidence, Trump’s team of lawyers have pushed ahead with filing a flurry of long-shot lawsuits alleging that an insidious voter fraud plot carried Biden to victory and that millions of ballots should be thrown out as a result.

Giuliani brought the matter to a new low Thursday as he accused Biden personally of committing crimes.

“He doesn’t get asked questions about all the evidence of the crimes that he committed,” Giuliani said without explaining what crimes Biden supposedly committed.

“What’s going on in this country is horrible,” he added.

One component of the Trump campaign’s dubious web of accusations involve the idea that Republican election watchers weren’t allowed to stand close enough to poll workers in Pennsylvania and other states.

Giuliani tried to drive home that point by referencing a scene from the 1992 movie “My Cousin Vinny,” which he called “one of my favorite law movies, because he comes from Brooklyn.”

“These people were further away than ‘My Cousin Vinny’ was,” the Brooklyn-born Giuliani said of the poll watchers. “They couldn’t see a thing!”

Most of the Trump campaign’s lawsuits have been thrown out by judges who note that the wild assertions of voter fraud are baseless.

On Thursday, a judge in Georgia dismissed a Trump campaign-backed lawsuit seeking to block certification of Biden’s razor-thin victory in the state. A few hours before that ruling, the Trump campaign withdrew a similar lawsuit in Michigan, where Biden won by more than 100,000 votes.

Still, Giuliani vowed to keep filing more lawsuits.

“We’re about to file a major lawsuit in Georgia. That will be filed probably tomorrow,” he said.

The ex-mayor also lashed out at the FBI after a reporter asked why the agency isn’t getting involved if election crimes are as rampant as the Trump campaign claims.

“I don’t know where the FBI has been for the last three years,” he said. “What do we have to do to get the FBI to wake up? Maybe we need a new agency to protect us.”

Trump, who has barely been seen in public since losing the election, cheered on his lawyers from the White House.

“Lawyers now on,” he tweeted as the nearly two-hour-long press conference got underway. “An open and shut case of voter fraud. Massive numbers!”

Giuliani repeatedly insisted in the press conference that the campaign’s failed lawsuits are packed with evidence of Democratic voter fraud.

“All you’ve got to do to find out if I’m misleading you at all is to look at the lawsuits,”

However, Giuliani sang a different tune when pressed under oath by a federal Pennsylvania judge earlier this week on the specifics of one of the campaign’s fraud-claiming lawsuits.

“This is not a fraud case,” Giuliani admitted during a Tuesday hearing in that suit.

Trump’s refusal to concede is beginning to have dire consequences.

Biden said this week that he’s concerned his administration will be behind the ball on shipping doses of a potential COVID-19 vaccine because Trump has blocked the incoming president’s transition team from accessing federal distribution plans.

Trump est « à 100 % en droit » de contester les résultats selon McConnell

Mitch McConnell 
Le chef de la majorité républicaine au Sénat

Le chef de la majorité républicaine au Sénat Mitch McConnell a jugé lundi que Donald Trump était « à 100 % en droit » de contester les résultats de la présidentielle, mais n’a pas repris à son compte les accusations de « fraude » brandie par le président sortant.

« Le président Trump est à 100 % en droit d’examiner les allégations d’irrégularités et de peser ses options légales », a-t-il déclaré dans l’hémicycle, lors de sa première intervention depuis l’annonce, samedi, de la victoire du démocrate Joe Biden à la présidentielle.

Évoquant des « fraudes » sans apporter de preuve, Donald Trump refuse de concéder sa défaite et a annoncé vouloir demander des recomptages et déposer des plaintes dans les États où les résultats sont très serrés.

Dans un discours très prudent, Mitch McConnell, l’un des hommes les plus puissants de Washington, s’est bien gardé de faire siennes les accusations du milliardaire républicain et a même semblé minimiser la portée des actions de la Maison-Blanche.

« Une poignée de recours en justice de la part du président ne signe pas vraiment la fin de la République », a-t-il déclaré. Ils « ne représentent aucune sorte de crise », a-t-il insisté.

Affichant sa confiance dans les institutions, il a assuré que les États-Unis se réveilleront avec un nouveau président le 21 janvier, sans s’avancer sur son nom.

À quelques exceptions près, dont l’ancien président George W. Bush et trois sénateurs modérés, les républicains n’ont pas encore ouvertement reconnu la défaite de Donald Trump.

La grande majorité de son camp s’est retranché dans un silence prudent, et seul son cercle rapproché s’est fait l’écho de ses accusations.

Le sénateur Lindsey Graham, un proche allié, a incité M. Trump lundi à « continuer à se battre ». Mais même lui a laissé entendre que ces efforts pourraient être vains.  

« J’encouragerais le président Trump, si ses efforts ne suffisent pas, […] à ne pas laisser ce mouvement mourir, à réfléchir à se représenter » en 2024 et à créer des plateformes qui pourraient l’aider à « garder ce mouvement en vie », a déclaré M. Graham sur Fox News Radio.

Don't "Trump" twice with Trump - It’s now or never!

French Version 

As I follow the waves of international news, certain reminiscences disturb my peace of mind, in relation to certain stories, read and heard in the last century.

Everything about this unexpected American president reminds me of events, which I did not experience, of course, but the films, the documentaries, the readings of this time of darkness have always captivated me to the point of becoming paranoid with the feeling that the world has lost all its bearings. In the face of this imminent danger, I must shake the ashes of history to awaken the frozen shadows of memory.

Along with the unpredictable groups, such as the supremacists, the Neo-Nazis that have increased in North America since the election of Obama. With the police who don't give a damn about the lives of blacks and other colored people. With small groups with stupid and sometimes absurd speeches like QAnon. With a president who dreams of recreating the America of yesteryear where the white Caucasian reigned as king and master of lives and goods, never, ever, to relive the effrontery of another negro in the White House..., we find ourselves once again in the stupid madness of the xenophobic European idealists of 1939-1945. To summarize the famous political sociologist Seymour M. Lipset: "Emotion dominates over reason to restore the greatness of America".

Indeed, if it is necessary to describe this prefigured, anticipated scene, let's do a flashback in the years mentioned, of a Germany, humiliated in the 14-18 war, which dreams of revenge, of rebirth, with the vision of the Third Reich, for understand the fear of worried minds. Let us simply remember the early Nazi occupations and the dramatic chronicle of the “Bastards of the Rhineland” in the name of the misrepresentation of the races of sub-humans.

But today, in 2020, racism supported by incredible titles such as: Neo-Nazi, electrifying slogans: Make America Great Again, uneducated people in the system with seductive-sounding names and overestimated egos: Proud Boys or PB, dissuasive images of weapons of war, the discreet and subtle orders of the Republican candidate, such: Stand-back and Stand-by, launched casually, on the fly, in inconsistency and delirium, leave an indefinable aftertaste in the psyche of certain citizens who had lived or who are quite familiar with the suffocating history of fratricidal wars.

This is exactly how the Holocaust began in the1930s. The same warning signs, the same slogans, the prohibitions left no room for doubt when the books of famous Jewish writers and thinkers began to be burned at a high stake. We listed the works of Karl Marx, Henrich Heine, Sigmund Freud, Henrich, and Thomas Mann or Berthold Brecht… etc. Thus began the flight of the first Jews from Germany among writers and artists. By this date, the Waffen-SS had not yet reached its peak in its sordid crimes. But their embryo was available to start the dirty job, intimidating today like the militia racist Proud Boys.

The Nazi ideology, synthesized by the formula "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer" "A people, a state, a leader", brings us back to scenarios of an outrageous madness of a pure America, whiter than white, which we are currently seeing, with the closure of borders, the Mexican wall, the entry ban for certain peoples of the Middle East, the “Shit holes” or “Land of latrines”, the disabled, the weak, police officers with innocent blood on their hands. Even the dead American soldiers are "losers", suckers. The Chinese who have become Uncle Sam’s pet peeves? Mix everything up and you have a pot of hate ready to explode in our face, just like in 1939. 

We must thank, once and for all, the American Constitution, which still resists as the last impassable shield that prevents this megalomaniac president from obtaining, for the moment, the wonderful title (sic) of "Continental Dictator", the master supreme of life and property, as Adolph Hitler had almost become in Europe in 1939-1945.

If Trump had the ability to write, he would have written a book like Mein Kampf, setting his societal agenda for the purpose of enforcing his petty nationalism, his much-advocated white supremacy, or, to determine invariable, the place of each in the hierarchy of races. Does Trump's German origin have anything to do with this apprehended saga? Let’s not wait for the masks to fall!

Thinking about the distinctive signs of the German Führer, such as the Nazi salute, the Heil Hitler, arms raised, we are not far from Trump's triumphant thumb as a sign of master of the game, in front of his spellbound supporters. Hitler’s facial expressions in public, always cynical, an angry face still froze, leaves us with the impression that they have been studied and adopted by our Donald, this junk actor with a peroxidized wick. The looks of the Führer on his rugged Mercedes Benz 770K and that of Trump descending the steps of his "Air Force One", to the applause of his mercenaries, are strangely alike.

Will minority immigrants and their descendants are at risk for the future if the election cycle stops its focus on Trump's name? Nothing is reassuring. I always have in mind the image of Jews, Gypsies, and Blacks, born in Germany for generations, who were wiped out because they were simply not born into the right community.

This feeling of "the eternal stranger" sometimes makes me think about the case of my own children, born in my adopted country. Because, never forget: For fools, the belly of the beast is always fruitful.

In fact, if Trump, as supreme leader, could corrupt and control the US Armed Forces, as Hitler had pulled off, on "The Night of the Long Knives" of June 1934, the case would be in the bag. Still, he doesn't have this evil genius, this comma of intelligence to rewrite history. This is what just protects America and the world so far.

Therefore, on November 3, 2020, dear Elector, for you who will never be an integral part of the "America Great Again", the only opportunity to save your skin from the apprehended Gehenna, is at the polls:

Go ahead! You have no right to make mistakes! Don't "Trump" twice.
