“Nous sommes à l’asile” : le portrait terrifiant de la Maison-Blanche par Bob Woodward Dans son livre Fear, le légendaire journaliste à l’origine des révélations du Watergate dépeint un président immature, incontrôlable, dont les collaborateurs atterrés recourent à toutes sortes de manœuvres pour éviter le pire. The Washington Post en a publié de larges extraits mercredi 5 septembre. John Dowd était convaincu que Donald Trump n’échapperait pas au parjure s’il s’entretenait avec le procureur spécial, Robert Mueller. Pour en fournir une démonstration concrète, l’ancien avocat personnel du président a organisé un entraînement le 27 janvier. Dans les appartements privés de la Maison-Blanche, John Dowd a bombardé Trump de questions sur l’enquête liée à l’ingérence russe. Le président, après avoir fourni une série de réponses hésitantes, contradictoires ou mensongères, a fini par perdre son calme. “Ce truc est un putain de canular !” Un portrait terrifiant Philip Rucker et Robert Costa Abonnez-vous à partir de 1€

Why do we binge-watch (and is it actually good for us)? - BBC Ideas États-Unis. Une tribune anonyme explosive du New York Times fait trembler la Maison-Blanche Un haut responsable de l’administration Trump témoigne mercredi, sous le sceau de l’anonymat, de l’instabilité du président américain. Il affirme que des conseillers de la Maison-Blanche ont envisagé d’invoquer le 25e amendement qui prévoit d’engager une procédure de destitution du chef de l’Etat. Mais tous y auraient renoncé pour éviter une “crise constitutionnelle”. C’est une véritable bombe qui vient d’exploser en plein cœur de l’administration Trump. Mercredi, le New York Times a créé la stupeur en publiant le témoignage anonyme d’un haut responsable de la Maison-Blanche qui dénonce “l’amoralité” du président américain. L’auteur de ce texte, intitulé “Je fais partie de la résistance au sein de l’administration Trump”, explique notamment que plusieurs de ses conseillers ont envisagé d’invoquer le 25e amendement, qui comme le précise le magazine Newsweek, prévoit d’engager une procédure de destitution du président. “Un couteau dans le dos” sorti de “Gorge Profonde”
12 songs to practice the pronunciation of -ED endings - Luiz Otávio Barros As you know, the “-ed” endings of regular past tense verbs can be pronounced in three different ways: /t/, /d/ and /ɪd/, which is the one most students tend to overuse. Click here for an overview of the rules. Over the years, I have found that /t/ and /d/ are easier to notice and to produce if the verb comes immediately before a word beginning with a vowel sound: liked it – /laɪktɪt/dreamed of – /driːmdəv/ To help students get their tongues around the two sounds, I usually ask them to move /t/ and /d/ to the front of the vowel sound. liked it – /laɪk tɪt/dreamed of – /driːm dəv/ Out of all the ideas and techniques I’ve used in class, this has probably been the most effective. So I decided to put together a 7-minute video containing 12 song excerpts you can use to help your students notice how /t/ and /d/ are linked to the vowel sounds that follow. You will notice that the activities do not test whether students can choose between /t/ and /d/. Thanks for reading – and watching.

Anonymous NYT Op-Ed Reports Trump Cabinet Whispering About Invoking Rule In a scathing anonymous op-ed written by a senior official inside the Trump administration, the author wrote that the president's cabinet has whispered about invoking the 25th Amendment, which would jumpstart the lengthy process of removing Donald Trump from the Oval Office.

Opinion | I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration The erratic behavior would be more concerning if it weren’t for unsung heroes in and around the White House. Some of his aides have been cast as villains by the media. But in private, they have gone to great lengths to keep bad decisions contained to the West Wing, though they are clearly not always successful. It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there are adults in the room. We fully recognize what is happening. The result is a two-track presidency. Take foreign policy: In public and in private, President Trump shows a preference for autocrats and dictators, such as President Vladimir Putin of Russia and North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, and displays little genuine appreciation for the ties that bind us to allied, like-minded nations. On Russia, for instance, the president was reluctant to expel so many of Mr. This isn’t the work of the so-called deep state. The bigger concern is not what Mr.
100 Women of the Year For 72 years, TIME named a Man of the Year. With a few exceptions, it was almost always a man, usually a President or a Prime Minister or perhaps a titan of industry. Throughout history, these are the kinds of men who have wielded influence over the world. In 1999, Man of the Year gave way to Person of the Year. While the name rightly changed, too often the choice was the same. With this 100 Women of the Year project, we’re spotlighting influential women who were often overshadowed. To recognize these women, we have created 89 new TIME covers, many of which were designed by prominent artists. This process prompted just as many questions as answers: “What does it mean to be a woman?” actualite.20minutes « Quand on voit comment fonctionne la Maison Blanche, on se dit "Prions pour qu’il n’y ait pas de crise" », lâche Bob Woodward sur la chaîne CBS News. Le journaliste d’investigation, connu pour ses révélations dans l’affaire du Watergate, publie mardi son nouveau livre Fear : Trump in the White House, déjà annoncé comme un brûlot lourd en révélations sur le gouvernement de Donald Trump. En guise de crise, c’est une guerre avec la Corée du Nord qui aurait été évitée de justesse selon le journaliste. « A ce moment-là, l’état-major au Pentagone s’est vivement alarmé, en pensant : "Mon Dieu, ce tweet alors que nous disposons d’informations fiables selon lesquelles les Nord-Coréens vont interpréter cela comme le signal d’une attaque imminente" » de la part des Etats-Unis, a déclaré Bob Woodward. Selon lui, Donald Trump est obsédé par la dépense annuelle de 3,5 milliards de dollars pour maintenir les troupes américaines en Corée du Sud, en guise de rempart contre le Nord.
