More dramatic news from the USA. The Tennessee state authorities officially named deliberate explosionthundering in downtown Nashville. How does this overlap with the countdown to transfer of power in Washington?
The Christmas bombing in Nashville was not without casualties. Human remains were found among the charred debris and broken glass at the corner of Second Avenue and Church Street there. The bomb was hidden inside a travel van, which took off at 6 a.m.
When the sappers approached the van, they heard a recording of a female voice, which announced that it would explode in 15 minutes. The explosion led to massive disruptions to cellular communications and the Internet. The alleged terrorist’s car was parked outside the telephone company building, but whether this was the target is also unknown. It is also impossible to identify the driver (the travel van was captured by the police camera). In general, while there are more questions than answers.
“We do not know if anyone was in the van at the time of the blast. Police, its partners, the FBI and ATF, are conducting a massive investigation. We believe the explosion was deliberate,” said Don Aaron, a Nashville police spokesman.
A curfew was imposed in the area where it all happened. Closed Nashville Airport. Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump were informed about the incident. The current US president was caught in Florida – he flew away for a long weekend to play golf. From his southern residence, Mar-a-Lago, Trump continues to argue with Congress – they cannot pass the budget for next year.
“Why don’t politicians want to give people $ 2,000, but give only $ 600? This is not the people’s fault, this is China’s fault. Give money to our people!” – Trump said.
The claim is addressed to members of the same party. Republicans are against the increase in the aid package. It looks like Trump wants to punish them for not enough, in his opinion, support in challenging the election results.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell privately warned Republican senators against denying the Electoral College’s January 6 vote, the day that Congress will be called to confirm the election results.
If the budget doesn’t pass, a shutdown will happen. The government will be left without funding. Trump’s Democrats (that’s the quirk of the end of his term) will support, but where do the Republicans go?
January 5 – the second round of the most important senate elections for them in Georgia. Voters there may not forgive Trump’s party members for running out of money in the midst of the coronavirus crisis. And so the majority in the upper house will not be deprived for long.
According to Newsweek, the Pentagon is already getting nervous. They fear that Trump will mobilize the street on the day of Biden’s inauguration and prevent him from taking office. Or even declare martial law. The command of the US Armed Forces allegedly prepared a special plan for this case. It was kept under wraps, but now, after publication, it is clear that Trump is already in the know.
