Elezioniusa2020. Il Conto Alla Rovescia. Meno 70 Giorni #elezioniUsa2020. Il conto alla rovescia. Meno 70 giorni Si apre oggi la convention repubblicana. Nonostante il Covid-19, non sarà virtuale ma in un luogo fisico, anche se in numeri ridotti. Trump non sarà presente in loco nella giornata della sua re-investitura come candidato repubblicano ma parlerà, inusitatamente per un evento di partito, dalla Casa Bianca. Secondo gli organizzatori la convention dovrebbe assomigliare alle puntate di “The Apprentice”, lo show condotto da Trump prima di lanciarsi in politica: sarà prevista quindi un’apparizione del presidente alla fine di ogni serata di convenzione. Tra i dieci interventi che andranno in prime time cinque saranno di familiari di Trump (la moglie Melania e i quattro figli). Nessun candidato presidente o vice delle passate elezioni sarà presente alla convention. Tra gli interventi vi saranno anche quelli dei McCloskey, la coppia di St. Louis che brandiva dei fucili contro i manifestanti di Black Lives Matter. Tra gli interventi che hanno suscitato perplessità in campo democratico vi è quello di Vernon Jones Vernon Jones, un deputato statale democratico in Georgia che ha deciso di sostenere Trump. I temi delle serate dovrebbero essere l’ordine pubblico, la ripresa economica e la lotta contro la “cancel culture”. La consigliera della Casa Bianca Kellyanne Conway ha annunciato che lascerà l’amministrazione alla fine di agosto. Suo marito, George Conway III, un feroce critico del presidente, ha annunciato che si ritirerà dal Lincoln Project, un’organizzazione che lavora per sconfiggere Trump a novembre. I Conway avevano trascorso gli ultimi anni in una faida pubblica su Trump: Kellyanne Conway lo difende in regolari apparizioni televisive e George Conway lo critica duramente su Twitter e in editoriali sul Washington Post. I loro scontri pubblici hanno messo a dura prova i quattro figli della coppia e i due hanno deciso di occuparsi della loro famiglia. Maryanne Trump Barry, la sorella maggiore del presidente Trump, ha dichiarato che suo fratello “non ha principi” in un audio registrato segretamente e ottenuto dal Washington Post. La sorella, che è un ex giudice federale oggi in pensione, afferma nell’audio che “tutto quello che [Trump] vuole fare è eccitare la sua base. Non ha principi. Nessuno. Nessuno. E la sua base, voglio dire mio Dio, se fossero delle persone religiose cercherebbero di aiutare le persone. Non dovrebbero far questo”. L’audio è stato registrato da Mary Trump, la nipote del presidente che ha recentemente pubblicato un libro sulla famiglia del quale il presidente ha cercato inutilmente di impedirne la pubblicazione. Le dichiarazioni della sorella erano in risposta a una domanda sulla politica per l’immigrazione del presidente che aveva citato l’ex giudice federale per verificare il rispetto dei diritti umani nel trattamento dei migranti al confine con il Messico. Joe Biden ha detto in un’intervista trasmessa domenica che non aumenterà le tasse per gli americani che guadagnano meno di 400.000 dollari. Sondaggi post convenzione democratica. Un nuovo sondaggio CBS News/YouGov pone Biden in vantaggio con 52 per cento, identico al vantaggio prima della convention. Le primarie per il candidato senatore democratico in Massachusetts diventano sempre più nazionali (e più dure). Ed Markey, l’attuale senatore sostenuto dai progressisti, è stato sfidato dal deputato Joe Kennedy III, sostenuto dai centristi del partito. Kennedy ha recentemente ottenuto l’appoggio della Speaker della Camera Nancy Pelosi, un sostegno che ha suscitato molte critiche poiché è nella tradizione del partito quello di sostenere i candidati uscenti e non gli sfidanti. Markey è sostenuto dai progressisti ma anche anche da una prte dell’establishment democratico, tra i quali il leader della minoranza al Senato Chuck Schumer. | 1 #elezioniUsa2020.

    Gaslit Nation Transcript 17 February 2021 Where Is Christopher Wray? https://www.patreon.com/posts/wheres-wray-47654464 Senator Ted Cruz: Donald seems to think he's Michael Corleone. That if any voter, if any delegate, doesn't support Donald Trump, then he's just going to bully him and threaten him. I don't know if the next thing we're going to see is voters or delegates waking up with horse's heads in their bed, but that doesn't belong in the electoral process. And I think Donald needs to renounce this incitement of violence. He needs to stop asking his supporters at rallies to punch protestors in the face, and he needs to fire the people responsible. Senator Ted Cruz: He needs to denounce Manafort and Roger Stone and his campaign team that is encouraging violence, and he needs to stop doing it himself. When Donald Trump himself stands up and says, "If I'm not the nominee, there will be rioting in the streets.", well, you know what? Sol Wolinsky was laughing in his grave watching Donald Trump incite violence that has no business in our democracy.

Lincoln Project Faces Exodus of Advisers Amid Sexual Harassment Coverup Scandal by Morgan Artvukhina Donald Trump was a political outsider in the 2016 US presidential election, and many Republicans refused to accept him as one of their own, dubbing themselves "never-Trump" Republicans. When he sought re-election in 2020, the group rallied in support of his Democratic challenger, now the US president, Joe Biden. An increasing number of senior figures in the never-Trump political action committee The Lincoln Project (TLP) have announced they are leaving, with three people saying Friday they were calling it quits in the wake of a sexual assault scandal involving co-founder John Weaver. "I've always been transparent about all my affiliations, as I am now: I told TLP leadership yesterday that I'm stepping down as an unpaid adviser as they sort this out and decide their future direction and organization," Tom Nichols, a “never-Trump” Republican who supported the group’s effort to rally conservative support for US President Joe Biden in the 2020 election, tweeted on Friday afternoon. Nichols was joined by another adviser, Kurt Bardella and by Navvera Hag, who hosted the PAC’s online show “The Lincoln Report.” Late on Friday, Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt reportedly announced his resignation following accusations from PAC employees that he handled the harassment scandal poorly, according to the Daily Beast.

  • PCG Annual Report 2014-2015
    HARVARD LAW SCHOOL Program on Corporate Governance Report of Activities, July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015 A. Introduction and Executive Summary The Program on Corporate Governance seeks to contribute to policy, public discourse, and education in the field of corporate governance. It seeks to advance this mission in two inter- related ways: • Bridging the gap between academia and practice: The Program seeks to foster interaction between the worlds of academia and practice that will enrich both. Such interaction enables academic researchers to better understand the issues and the environment facing practitioners, thereby facilitating research that will be more relevant for practice. Interaction between academia and practice also keeps public and private decision-makers better informed about research activities in corporate governance, and enhances the public discourse on corporate governance. • Fostering policy-relevant research: The Program fosters empirical and policy research that sheds light on corporate governance questions facing public and private decision- makers. By providing relevant research that is grounded in the best methods of academic research, such projects can have an important impact on decision-making and public discourse in the field. The Program’s director is Professor Lucian Bebchuk, and other Harvard Law School faculty members contributing to its activities during 2014-15 were Robert Clark, John Coates, Alma Cohen, Allen Ferrell, Jesse Fried, Oliver Hart, Howell Jackson, Reinier Kraakman, Mark Ramseyer, Mark Roe, Robert Sitkoff, Holger Spamann, Leo Strine, Jr., and Guhan Subramanian. Also contributing to the Program’s activities were its Senior Fellows, Alon Brav, Stephen Davis, Assaf Hamdani, Oliver Hart, Ben W. Heineman, Jr., Robert J.

  • STEPHANIE COONTZ the Way We Never Were
    After her book Marriage, A History was published in 2005, Coontz was playfully photographed for Evergreen’s magazine in a kitchen, 1950s style. Martin W. Kane/The Evergreen State College (TESC) STEPHANIE COONTZ The Way We Never Were tephanie Coontz was off her daily diet of research and writing in late June 2015 while she was vacationing in Hawaii. After a Friday of hiking, body-boarding at the beach, and snorkeling out to a rock where turtles gathered, she checked Sher email. Waiting was a flurry of messages from excited colleagues. They wanted to know whether Coontz, a Washington historian, had caught the news. The U.S. Supreme Court had just announced its landmark ruling on same-sex marriage. The court’s 5-4 opinion cited Coontz twice. Just after Confucius and Cicero. A longtime faculty member at The Evergreen State College, Coontz had made a big impression on the country’s top legal minds. “Like national, epic-historical big,” said columnist Danny Westneat in The Seattle Times. Her writing about the evolution of marriage from an unequal property contract to a gender-neutral bond of love had influenced the court’s thinking, the law of the land, and millions of lives. It wasn’t the first time the limelight reached Coontz. She had chiseled a niche as the nation’s leading fact-checker on matters of family and marriage. Her 1992 book, The Way We Never Were, took a trenchant look at American nostalgia for the good old 1950s. Coontz brought a basket of hard- boiled reality to the picnic of soft-focus memories.

  • Next Solicitor General Can Expect Tough Road Under Trump by Andrew Strickler
    Portfolio Media. Inc. | 111 West 19th Street, 5th Floor | New York, NY 10011 | www.law360.com Phone: +1 646 783 7100 | Fax: +1 646 783 7161 | [email protected] Next Solicitor General Can Expect Tough Road Under Trump By Andrew Strickler Law360, New York (February 15, 2017, 7:55 PM EST) -- President Donald Trump's pick for the usually coveted position of solicitor general should expect an unusually rocky tenure, experts say, given the legal battles already underway, criticisms the president has heaped on the judiciary and the likely difficulty of dissuading a president who shoots from the hip from pursuing untenable legal positions. Often described as the best legal job in the government, most solicitors general in recent decades have been able to focus on a short list of executive branch legal goals and high-profile cases headed to the U.S. Supreme Court, and have enjoyed a high level of deference from the justices. But fast-moving policy changes promised by the Trump administration on a wide range of complex issues like tax and trade will force the next SG to juggle a greater range of legal questions with wide repercussions and more politically fraught cases. And in light of Trump’s professed desire for undivided loyalty from his underlings, some experts are raising concerns that the SG's traditional behind-the-scenes role as an independent sounding board for the president and attorney general on legal issues will be eroded if Trump’s pick can’t dissuade his or her bosses from taking shaky positions. Mayer Brown LLP managing partner Kenneth Geller, who served in the Solicitor General’s Office during the Ford, Carter and Reagan administrations, said the executive branch wins so many cases at the Supreme Court in large part because of the office’s credibility with the court, built up over decades of well-reasoned arguments and through shifting political winds.
