Depuis quelques semaines, la pétition contre l’instauration d’un statut officiel de première dame (et d’un budget) pour Brigitte Macron prend de plus en plus de poids. Son auteur, Thierry-Paul Valette, un artiste de 40 ans, s’est déjà illustré dans plusieurs prises de position cette année…

Elle compte à ce jour plus de 270 000 signataires.La pétition en ligne contre le statut de Brigitte Macron prend de l’ampleur d’heure en heure, et pourrait devenir un obstacle gênant pour le couple présidentiel. Son auteur, Thierry-Paul Valette, se définit comme un « artiste complet ». Au fil de sa biographie, on découvre effectivement qu’il est à la fois comédien, peintre, et écrivain. Il tient un blog hébergé par Médiapart, il est aussi le fondateur du mouvement Egalité nationale, qui vise à « replacer le citoyen au cœur des décisions ».

A propos de la première dame, il écrit : « Il n’y a aucune raison pour que l’épouse du chef de l’Etat puisse obtenir un budget sur les fonds publics. » Selon lui, une telle réforme serait paradoxale, au moment où l’on demande justement aux élus de renoncer aux emplois familiaux dans le cadre de la moralisation de la vie politique. « Emmanuel Macron ne peut pas décider de tout à lui tout seul », estime-t-il encore.

Thierry-Paul Valette est également à l’initiative de nombreuses autres pétitions, comme celle qui demandait la panthéonisation de Simone Veil, ou encore l’interdiction de l’importation de « robots sexuels ». Au cours de la campagne présidentielle, il s’est fait connaître en organisant le contre-rassemblement anti-François Fillon, place de la République, le 5 mars dernier. Comme le montre le Huffpost, qui dresse son portrait, des photos de lui portant une grande croix en bois lors de cette manifestation, sont encore visibles sur les réseaux sociaux.

Ces derniers jours, la pétition contre le statut de Brigitte Macron a valu à Thierry-Paul Valette d’être invité dans de nombreux médias. « Je demande un référendum sur le sujet et j’aimerais être reçu à l’Elysée en tant que citoyen », a-t-il par exemple déclaré en direct sur LCI. A ceux qui lui reprochent déjà de vouloir à tout prix faire le buzz, l’homme qui doit bientôt fêter ses 41 ans répond, dans une entretien au Huffpost : « Je ne cherche pas à me faire connaître, au contraire. Dans le milieu artistique, c’est plutôt mal vu de s’engager. » Emmanuel et Brigitte Macron vont-ils entendre son appel, et accepter de le recevoir ? Sur BFM, il expliquait vouloir rencontrer Brigitte Macron pour lui parler de l’autisme, une cause qui lui tient à coeur.

L’Elysée semble avoir déjà reculé en ne proposant non plus un statut mais une « charte de la transparence ». D’après la loi française, le Conseil économique et social, c’est à dire la troisième assemblée constitutionnelle française, peut-être saisi lorsqu’une pétition citoyenne atteint les 500 000 signatures.

Le cinquième épisode de la saga “Pirates des Caraïbes” pourrait voir revenir le personnage de Will Turner, puisque son interprète Orlando Bloom a déclaré être “en discussion” pour retrouver Johnny Depp dans la suite des aventures de Jack Sparrow.

Selon le Daily Mail, qui rapporte les propos de l’acteur au Comic Con Oz, Orlando Bloom serait en discussion pour revenir dans Pirates des Caraïbes 5. Si les négociations venaient à aboutir, il reprendrait son rôle de Will Turner. Rappelons pour ceux qui ne s’en rappellent pas que dans le troisième épisode de la franchise (le dernier dans lequel il apparaissait) :
spoiler:
son personnage devenait immortel et le capitaine du Hollandais volant, mais la malédiction qui s’en est suivie ne lui permet de revenir à terre que tous les 10 ans.

Reste donc à savoir comment son retour sera expliqué, le cinquième épisode se passera-t-il très longtemps après l’épisode 4 ?

Ce qui est certain, c’est que ce cinquième opus est toujours à l’état de développement, puisqu’il n’est attendu que pour juillet 2017 aux Etats-Unis. Pour le premier film, la présence de Johnny Depp était à l’origine de celle d’Orlando Bloom, qui avait accepté pour tourner avec une de ses idoles. Leurs retrouvailles sur le cinquième film, intitulé Dead Men Tell No Tales, seront très attendues, et marquent sans doute un retour aux origines du ton de la saga flibustière.

WASHINGTON — 

When President Clinton launched a series of military strikes in Sudan, Afghanistan and Iraq in 1998, critics quickly denounced the moves as cynical, political attempts to distract Americans from his impeachment.

They pointed to the 1997 movie “Wag the Dog,” in which a president embroiled in a sex scandal stages a fake war with a tiny country to change the national conversation.

Before entering politics, Donald Trump as a private citizen several times predicted — incorrectly — that President Obama would resort to a similar strategy. “In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran,” he tweeted in late 2011, making a similar statement in 2012.

So when President Trump this week ordered drone strikes that killed an Iranian leader blamed for the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers, he risked a similar backlash.

But so far, few elected Democratic officials have directly accused Trump of launching the attack to divert attention from his impeachment and impending Senate trial, appearing reluctant to mix the politics of two of Congress’ gravest responsibilities: declaring war and impeaching a president.

The top Republican and Democrat in the Senate, during speeches to open a new session of Congress on Friday, went to great lengths to verbally separate the two topics.

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer of New York said that Trump acted recklessly without congressional approval in the targeted killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Suleimani. But he spoke separately about the pending impeachment trial in the Senate. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) likewise made no effort to link the two in her statements Friday.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) acknowledged that both impeachment and a possible military confrontation with Iran are “two big momentous decisions” Congress now faces. “As to their collision,” he said, “we’ll have to just see what happens.”

As lawmakers return to Washington next week, the political debate around both issues will only grow more feverish. And the subtext is all but certain to bubble to the surface.

A few Democrats are already questioning Trump’s motives.

“I’m concerned that the now impeached president’s actions may have been predicated in politics rather than sound foreign policy,” said Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles), citing Trump’s past tweets about Obama and Iran. “Perhaps Donald Trump believes that if he drags the country into war, the American people and Congress will rally behind him. Perhaps he thinks that war is a diversionary tactic. Perhaps he thinks it will drown out the criticisms of his scandal-plagued administration and protect him from removal by the Senate.”

The strikes have also prompted a debate over whether Trump had congressional approval to take the action. Republican allies say Trump has a right to take quick action when the country’s safety is at risk. Democratic critics say the action needed explicit congressional approval, as well as the customary notification to a select, bipartisan group of congressional leaders.

Schumer and Pelosi were not notified in advance, according to their aides. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who played golf with Trump earlier this week, said he was informed about the impending strike. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) aide declined to say when the leader learned about the strike.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) has introduced a resolution to force a debate over whether to go to war with Iran. Senate rules require that the Senate take up the resolution for debate and a vote, forcing lawmakers to choose sides.

“We owe it to our service members to have a debate and vote about whether or not it’s in our national interest to engage in another unnecessary war in the Middle East,” Kaine said.

Meanwhile, the standoff between the Democratic House and the GOP Senate over the upcoming impeachment trial grew more protracted on Friday. The status of the trial has been in a state of limbo since shortly after the House voted, almost entirely along partisan lines, to impeach the president Dec. 18.

After the House voted last month, the articles of impeachment were expected to swiftly go to the Senate for a trial to determine if Trump should be removed from office. Trump is not expected to be convicted in the Senate because Democrats have nowhere near the 67 votes needed to remove him.

But Pelosi has held the articles in the House, hoping to give Senate Democrats leverage in their negotiations with Senate Republicans for more favorable terms for the trial. McConnell wants to hold opening arguments and then decide whether to allow subpoenas for witnesses and documents. But Democrats want witnesses from the outset, warning that McConnell’s plan would allow Republican senators to present only a “mock trial” to the country while delivering a positive verdict for Trump.

McConnell on Friday appeared unmoved from his position, arguing that the Senate has no responsibility to act as an impartial criminal court.

“Instead of sending the articles to the Senate, they flinched,” McConnell said of House Democrats. “The same people who’d just spent weeks screaming that impeachment was so serious and so urgent that it could not even wait for due process now decided it could wait indefinitely while they checked the political winds and looked for new talking points.”

Pelosi showed no sign of changing her mind either.

“Today, Leader McConnell made clear that he will feebly comply with President Trump’s cover-up of his abuses of power and be an accomplice to that cover-up,” she said. “The GOP Senate must immediately proceed in a manner worthy of the Constitution and in light of the gravity of the President’s unprecedented abuses. No one is above the law, not even the president.”

McConnell indicated that the Senate will continue to confirm Trump nominees to administration jobs as it waits for Pelosi to send the articles of impeachment.

NEW YORK — 

A federal judge on Friday allowed a Rudy Giuliani associate indicted on campaign finance charges to turn over documents to Congress as part of the impeachment proceeding against President Trump.

U.S. District Court Judge Paul Oetken granted Lev Parnas’ request to turn over to the House intelligence committee documents and data seized by federal investigators when Parnas was arrested in October.

Parnas’ attorney said in a court filing he expected to receive the materials from the U.S. Justice Department this week.

Parnas and another man, Igor Fruman, played key roles in efforts by Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, to launch a Ukrainian corruption investigation against Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Parnas and Fruman were indicted in October on federal campaign finance violations related to a $325,000 donation to a group supporting Trump’s reelection. They have pleaded not guilty.

Parnas already has provided documents to the intelligence committee in response to a congressional subpoena. His attorney says he wants to provide more information that falls “within the scope” of the subpoena, including two batches of documents seized from his home and the contents of one of his iPhones, according to court filings.

“Review of these materials is essential to the Committee’s ability to corroborate the strength of Mr. Parnas’s potential testimony,” Parnas’ attorney, Joseph Bondy wrote in a filing.

Prosecutors did not object to Parnas turning over the information.

The U.S. military carried out an airstrike that killed an Iranian commander, Gen. Qassem Suleimani, escalating the standoff between Washington and Iran. The U.S. Embassy has urged all Americans to leave Iraq — where the killing happened — and Iran has vowed to retaliate.

Los Angeles has one of the largest populations of Iranians outside of Iran, so we want to know how those with ties to the region are handling the news. If you’re Iranian American or have family in Iran or Iraq, tell us what you’re feeling and what questions you have about the killing of Suleimani. To be clear, we care about the opinions of all our readers, but for this article, we are focusing on the members of the Iranian diaspora, given how directly affected they are by the geopolitical crisis.

Democratic presidential candidates attacked President Trump on Friday for ordering the killing of Iran’s top general, saying his recklessness risked dragging the United States into another war in the Middle East.

Campaigning in Dubuque, Iowa, former Vice President Joe Biden warned that militants could soon mount violent assaults on American diplomats and civilians. U.S. military bases and oil assets are also potential targets, he said, and Iran is likely to ramp up efforts to build nuclear weapons.

“Unfortunately, nothing we have seen from this administration over the past three years suggests that they are prepared to deal with the very real risk that we now confront,” Biden said.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders recalled Trump’s campaign pledge to extract America from “endless wars.”

“Tragically, his actions now put us on the path to another war, potentially one that could be even worse than before,” Sanders told a crowd in Anamosa, Iowa.

At his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., Trump said Friday that he ordered the deadly drone strike against Gen. Qassem Suleimani because the Iranian was plotting to kill many Americans.

Trump’s sudden escalation of U.S. tensions with Iran played to the different strengths and weaknesses of the Democratic candidates.

For Sanders, a staunch anti-interventionist, the attack provided a moment to remind voters he opposed the Iraq war because he believed it would lead to greater destabilization. For Biden, it was a chance to highlight his foreign-policy expertise.

Several of the Democrats vying to challenge Trump’s reelection in November acknowledged Suleimani was a threat to U.S. interests, but cast the president nonetheless as impulsive and unreliable in his dealings with Iran and other foreign adversaries.

On Thursday night, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren called Suleimani a “murderer, responsible for the deaths of thousands, including hundreds of Americans.” She went on to warn Friday morning on Twitter that the U.S. was “on the brink of yet another war in the Middle East — one that would be devastating in terms of lives lost and resources wasted.

“We’re not here by accident,” she wrote. “We’re here because a reckless president, his allies, and his administration have spent years pushing us here.”

At a town hall in North Conway, N.H., Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., conceded Suleimani was “not a good guy.” But America’s recent experience in the Middle East, he said, has shown that “taking out a bad guy is not a good idea unless you’re ready for what comes next.”

“This must not be the beginning of another endless war,” said Buttigieg, an Afghanistan war veteran.

Another Democratic candidate, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, said Trump’s history of making reckless and impulsive decisions that undercut U.S. strategic goals and harm allies in places such as Syria left him “deeply concerned” ab
out the president’s decision.

“I think it is imperative that this administration now tries to de-escalate this crisis because we don’t want to provoke a wider conflict and we want to make sure we protect American lives around the world,” Bloomberg told supporters at a campaign stop in North Carolina.

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker echoed the concerns of his Democratic rivals.

“We have a president who has had really a failure in his Iranian policy who’s had no larger strategic plan and has made that region less stable and less safe,” he told CNN.

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, another Democratic contender, told a crowd in Waterloo, Iowa, that she was concerned about Trump not consulting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other congressional leaders in advance of the attack.

“We need to restore sanity to our foreign policy,” she said.
