Donald Trump faces two impeachment deadlines as inquiry shifts focus
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump faced two deadlines in Congress on Sunday as Democrats prepared to shift the focus of their impeachment inquiry from fact-finding to the consideration of possible charges of misconduct over his dealings with Ukraine. The Democratic-led House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, tasked with considering charges known as articles of impeachment, has given the president until 6 pm EST (2300 GMT) on Sunday to say whether he or his legal counsel will participate in an impeachment hearing on Wednesday. The hearing, the first in a series of proceedings expected before the committee, will hear testimony on the impeachment process established under the US Constitution from a panel of legal experts that has yet to be named. Hearings before the committee, which has responsibility for crafting any formal charges against Trump, are a major step toward possible charges. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who will make the final decision, has not said yet … [Read more...] about Donald Trump faces two impeachment deadlines as inquiry shifts focus
Trump slams Minnesota for accepting large numbers of Somali refugees before attacking ‘American-hating socialist’ Ilhan Omar and ‘weak and lousy’ Mayor Jacob Frey on their home turf in front of 20,000 jeering Republican supporters
Donald Trump brought his political might to Minnesota Thursday night, offering a fiery defense of the impeachment inquiry into him, touting his re-election campaign and slamming his political rivals, including 'American hating socialist' Ilhan Omar and the 'lousy' Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. The president didn't hold back in a fiery, 102-minute speech to the packed Target Center, which holds 20,000 people. It was his first campaign event since Democrats launched the impeachment inquiry into his presidency. 'This is a great state. We are going to win this state,' he told the cheering crowd. He attacked several Democrats including Omar, one of his favorite targets, and Frey, with whom his campaign battled with over the security bill for the rally and over cops who wanted to support the president while in uniform. And he attacked the mayor for allowing refugees into the city. Omar came to the United States as a teenager with her family, who were fleeing violence in … [Read more...] about Trump slams Minnesota for accepting large numbers of Somali refugees before attacking ‘American-hating socialist’ Ilhan Omar and ‘weak and lousy’ Mayor Jacob Frey on their home turf in front of 20,000 jeering Republican supporters

Ukrainian President Thanks Trump for Releasing Delayed Anti-Russian Military Aid: ‘I Like This Kind of Relationship’
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has thanked President Donald Trump's administration for releasing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid, earmarked to help Ukrainian forces in the ongoing conflict against Russian-backed forces in the east of the country. Last month, the White House delayed $250 million in funding, citing concerns that the money was not being spent in the U.S.'s best interests. The move raised concern among U.S. and Ukrainian allies that Trump might be softening his support for the government in Kiev, given his repeated overtures to Russian President Vladimir Putin. But on Thursday, it was announced that the funds would be released, plus—Zelensky said—an additional $140 million. The White House was pressured to release the funds by bipartisan lawmakers on the Hill, who warned it was vital in helping fend off the threat of further Russian aggression. Speaking at the Yalta European Strategy annual meeting—organized by the Victor Pinchuk … [Read more...] about Ukrainian President Thanks Trump for Releasing Delayed Anti-Russian Military Aid: ‘I Like This Kind of Relationship’
Finding Mr Alt-Right: my adventures on a dating site for Trump fans
I’m not normally in the habit of joining dating apps while already in a relationship, but over the weekend I made an exception. The internet was abuzz with news of a website for Trump supporters called Trump Dating and, well, the temptation to connect with the morally bankrupt fascist of my dreams was too hard to resist. I sat my girlfriend down and broke the news as best I could: “Sweetie, I love you, but I feel like joining Trump Dating is the alt-right thing for me to do. I hope you understand.” Succumbing to temptation when you’re already taken certainly seems to be something the people behind Trump Dating can understand. The site has been described as a sort of Ashley MAGAson, as you don’t need to be single to sign up. At first you could stipulate if you were “happily” or “unhappily” married, but they appear to have removed those options due to all the bad press. Meanwhile, one of the activists used as a face of the website was … [Read more...] about Finding Mr Alt-Right: my adventures on a dating site for Trump fans
