Norwegian / old norse names and places

Every now and then I come across a book, movie, TV-series, fanfic, game or whatever, that mention a fictional "Norwegian" or "norse" place or person, and it just sounds so wrong it makes me either cringe or ROFL. Really. I still haven't recovered from the 1995 X-files episode, "Død Kalm", which took us to the port of "Tildeskan" where we met "Henry Trondheim", "Halverson" and "Olafsson". Hopefully this list will keep others from being that “creative” with names. :)

Common names for places, towns and villages in Norway

These names are very generic and suitable for a place, village or town anywhere (and pretty much any time) in Norway. Mix and match prefixes with suffixes for diversity. Bonus: All of these can also be used as surnames. Name (meaning) - usage

Common Norwegian surnames (contemporary)

Heredatory surnames didn't become mandatory in Norway until 1923. Many took the name from the farm or place they lived, or just changed their primary patronyms into hereditary patronyms. Example: Helgessønn/Helgesdatter (son of Helge / daughter of Helge) became Helgesen.

Names usage Double names, like Ragnhild Johanne or Ole Martin are common in Norway. Just keep them as two names and don't use "-", and you'll be safe, even if it ends up a tongue twister. Using only one of two given names is also common practice.

In Norway everyone is on a first name basis. Students call teachers and other kids' parents by their first name, workers call their boss by their first name, we call our Prime Minister by her first name (journalists will use her title when speaking to her though). Some senior citizens still use surnames and titles when speaking of or to people their own age.

There are some exceptions. For example, a doctor may be referred to as Dr. Lastname when we speak of them, but first name is used when speaking to them. A priest is "the priest" when speaking of him/her and their first name is used when spaking to them. In the millitary only surnames (and ranks) are used. If you meet Harald, the King of Norway, in an official setting you will refer to him as "Kongen" (the king). If you run into him at the gas station, or while hiking, he is "Harald".

If you don't know someone's name it is okay to use their title, or just say "you".

Names for pets (contemporary)

Dogs Laika (f) Bamse (m) (bear) Tinka (f) Loke/Loki (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cats Melis (m/f) (powdered sugar) Mango (m/f) (mango) Pus (f) (kitty) Mons (m) (tomcat) Nala (f) Pusur (m) (Garfield) Felix (m) Simba (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cows (yes, I am serious) Dagros Rosa Mira Luna Sara + characters from TV/film - Disney is popular, as are the Kardashians :)

Bynames Bynames, or nicknames, could be neutral, praising or condescending. Usually bynames described a person's

body, bodyparts, bodily features

age

kinship and descent

territorial origin

knowledge, belief, spirituality

clothing, armour

occupation, social position

nature

Examples: Eirik Blodøks (Eirik Blood-Axe), Gammel-Anna (old Anna), Halte-Ása (limping Ása). I suggest that you stick with English for bynames, or use (relatively) modern language if you are writing in Norwegian.

Surnames

Surnames weren't really a thing until 1923 when they became mandatory. Before 1923 patronyms (son/daughter of) were used, and the name of the farm you lived on was often added as an address.

For instance: Helgi Eiriksøn (Helgi, son of Eirik), who lived at the farm called Vollr (grass field), would be called Helgi Eiriksøn Vollr. If he moved to the farm called Haugr his name would change to Helgi Eiriksøn Haugr.

Patronyms

Men: Use father's first name and add -sen /-son /-sønn Women: Use father's first name and add -dotter / -dottir / -datter

Farm names

Farm names were usually relevant and derived from either the location, a nearby landmark, nature or from occupation. I suggest you stick with the modern forms for farm names.

Old Norse (meaning) - modern Bekkr (stream) - Bekk, Bekken Dalr (valley) - Dal, Dahl Horn (horn) - Horn Vollr (field) - Vold, Volden Lundr (grove) - Lund

The list of common names for places/villages/towns is still valid, although the spelling is modern. Just keep it simple and make "clever" combos based on meaning.

March 28

In the US, President Donald Trump said he might impose a short, “enforceable” travel quarantine on the New York metropolitan region, including parts of New Jersey and Connecticut, to restrict travel out of the area. But New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he hadn’t had any conversations with Trump about such a move.

Separately, Cuomo said the death toll in the state had hit 728, with the total number of cases climbing above 52,000. New York City itself has over 29,000 cases, with more than 500 deaths as of Saturday morning, officials said. Cuomo also tweeted that New York would delay its presidential primary to June 23. It was originally set for April 28.

In Europe, Ireland joined the list of countries issuing stay at home orders. “You can buy food and attend medical appointments and even get out for some exercise but you are being asked to do as little as you possibly can,” reads a notice on a government website.

March 27

US hits 100,000 cases

After surpassing China on Thursday, the US now has more than 100,000 COVID-19 cases. According to tracking numbers from John Hopkins University, the US is sitting at around 101,657 cases as of 3:30 p.m. PT. Italy has overtaken China in the last 24 hours, at 86,498 cases compared with China’s 81,897.

Deaths in the US have topped 1,500, while deaths in Italy are at more than 9,000 and in China are almost 3,200. China is re-closing all of its theaters nationwide, according to Deadline.

Trump signs up GM and Boeing

President Donald Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to force General Motors to make ventilators, he said during a coronavirus task force briefing. It came after Trump tweeted earlier Friday that GM must “start making ventilators now.” After signing agreements with other private companies, Trump said there’ll be 100,000 more ventilators in the next 100 days — and said any excess units will be given globally to countries that need them most.

Boeing is also pitching in, and will make thousands of plastic face shields each week and supply three planes to carry supplies, Trump said.

US House passes $2 trillion stimulus package

The House of Representatives approved a $2 trillion relief bill meant to respond to economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. The bill expands unemployment insurance, provides direct payments to many Americans and includes hundreds of billions of dollars in loans for businesses and for local and state governments.

The bill was passed with bipartisan support by a voice vote. Trump signed the relief bill later Friday.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson tests positive

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for coronavirus, his office announced. The 55-year-old has been displaying mild symptoms since Thursday, but will remain in charge of the government’s handling of the crisis, his office stated.

“I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus,” Johnson said in a tweet, which included his video tribute to the UK’s National Health Service.

Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.

I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus.

Together we will beat this. #StayHomeSaveLives pic.twitter.com/9Te6aFP0Ri

Within hours, UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced his positive test.

March 26

Trump pushes new guidance as US tops global cases

The US now has the most coronavirus cases globally at around 82,400, surpassing China’s 81,700. Trump called it “a tribute to our testing.” The president said he spoke with the governors of all 50 states and US territories on his idea to classify counties as either low, medium and high risk in an effort to update guidance on social distancing. “Our country has to go back to work,” he said during a White House coronavirus task force briefing.

Trump also spoke to G20 world leaders, including Germany, Australia, Russia, China, Japan, India and Saudi Arabia, as well as organizations like the UN, European Commission, WHO, World Bank and the IMO, to discuss how each are dealing with the pandemic.

Initial jobless claims surpass anything in US history

Initial jobless claims in the US hit nearly 3.3 million for the week ending March 21, according to the US Department of Labor.

“In the week ending March 21, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 3,283,000, an increase of 3,001,000 from the previous week’s revised level,” the Labor Department said. “This marks the highest level of seasonally adjusted initial claims in the history of the seasonally adjusted series. The previous high was 695,000 in October of 1982.”

US crosses 1,000 deaths

The number of COVID-19 deaths in the US has reached 1,046, the John Hopkins University tracking site reported Thursday morning, and the number of cases has surpassed 69,000.

Worldwide, the number of deaths has hit 21,100 and the number of cases has topped 463,000.

Keep track of the coronavirus pandemic.

March 25

US Senate passes $2 trillion stimulus package

The Senate passed a sweeping $2 trillion aid package 96-0 on Wednesday night. Four senators were absent because they have either tested positive for coronavirus or are self-isolating. The House may pass the legislation this week on a voice vote, allowing representatives to remain away from the Capitol as fears of infection rise. According to CBS News, the package includes:

Direct payments of $1,200 to most adults making up to $75,000, or $2,400 for couples making up to $150,000. Each dependent child increases the amount by an $500. The amount decreases for individuals with incomes above $75,000, and payments cut off for those above $99,000.

Expanded unemployment benefits that boost the maximum benefit by $600 per week and provide laid-off workers their full pay for four months. Eligibility is extended to independent contractors and the self-employed.

$130 billion for hospitals.

Hundreds of billions of dollars in loans for businesses and for local and state governments.

Apple donates millions more masks worldwide

Apple CEO Tim Cook provided an update on the tech giant’s efforts to help the world through COVID-19, saying Apple has now “sourced, procured and is donating 10 million masks to the medical community in the United States.” This is in addition to “millions more” donated to the hardest hit European regions. “Our ops teams are helping to find and purchase masks from our supply chain in coordination with governments around the world,” Cook tweeted.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s SpaceX is making hand sanitizer and face shields, according to a report by CNBC.

1M Californians have filed for unemployment

1 million Californians have filed for unemployment in the last 12 days, Gov. Gavin Newsom said. He added California has now distributed 24.5 million N95 masks, and has ordered 100 million new masks. Newsom also secured commitments from Wells Fargo, Citi, JPMorgan and US Bank to waive mortgage payments for the next 90 days for people impacted by the coronavirus. Bank of America only agreed to a 30-day period.

Prince Charles tests positive, self-isolates in Scotland

Prince Charles, the 71-year-old heir to the British throne, has tested positive for coronavirus, according to a spokesperson for the royal family. He’s been “displaying mild symptoms” of COVID-19 but is otherwise in good health and working from home, his office said in a statement.

His wife, Camilla, has tested negative, and the couple is self-isolating at home in Scotland.

Prince Charles tested positive for coronavirus and is displaying “mild” COVID-19 symptoms.

“It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks,” his office said.

Charles last saw his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on March 12, the BBC reported, but the 93-year-old British monarch “remains in good health.”

March 24

Senate, White House agree on $2 trillion stimulus package

US senators and the White House reached a deal to deliver a nearly $2 trillion stimulus package, according to The New York Times. The stimulus bill is the largest in US history and is expected to provide financial aid to individuals as well as struggling businesses. A Senate vote is expected Wednesday.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are done. We have a deal,” said Eric Ueland, White House legislative affairs director, at approximately 10 p.m. PT Tuesday.

The legislation, according to The Washington Post, will send many American adults $1,200 and children around $500. It will also boost small businesses with a $367 billion loan program, and hospitals are set to receive $150 billion in funding.

India in total lockdown

The Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, ordered the entire country — 1.3 billion people in total — to stay home for 21 days starting March 25. The extreme measures were announced late Tuesday, with Modi stating that “the only option is social distancing, to remain away from each other. There is no way out to escape from coronavirus besides this.”

Worldwide cases are approaching 420,000, but India has so far reported just over 500 cases, with 10 deaths.

Apple donates 9 million masks

Vice President Mike Pence said 9 million masks have now been donated by Apple. The remarks came during a White House briefing Tuesday afternoon, where Trump added that coming soon to hospitals around the nation are medical supplies including 8 million respirators, 14 million masks, 2.4 million face shields, 1.9 million surgical gowns, 13.5 million gloves and more than 4,000 ventilators.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said randomized tests are being done on a number of drugs, which are “queueing up to go to clinical trial.”

Trump hopes to have US open by Easter

During a town hall hosted by Fox News on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he would love to have the US “opened up and raring to go by Easter,” which is on April 12. The president added that people will still have to practice social distancing, but reiterated that the cure cannot be worse than the problem.

“I gave it two weeks and we’ll assess at that time,” said Trump, referencing his 15-day timeline to slow the spread. “But we have to open this country up.”

Speaking further on the Easter plan during the White House briefing Tuesday afternoon, Trump conceded that some sections of the country may have to be opened one at a time.

Tokyo 2020 Olympics postponed

The Olympic Games, originally set for this summer in Tokyo, have been postponed due to the coronavirus. In a joint statement Tuesday, the International Olympic Committee and Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee said the decision was made to protect athletes and everyone else involved in the sporting event.

The Games will be rescheduled to a date beyond 2020, but no later than summer 2021, said the IOC. The Olympic flame will remain in Japan, and event leaders say they hope it will serve as a “light at the end of the tunnel” for the world.

March 23

Trump says America will be open for business ‘soon’

During a White House briefing, President Trump said the US “wasn’t built to be shut down,” and he is hoping local data can be used to advise areas of when they can “cautiously” resume normal activities. “America will be open for business a lot sooner than three or four months,” the president said. “We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.”

Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus task force coordinator, said self-collected nasal swabbing is going to be made available later this week at clinics and drive-through sites. Birx added around 250,000 people have been tested in the last week.

Trump is also pushing an anti-malaria drug to be used in coronavirus tests, saying distribution of the drug, hydroxychloroquine, will begin tomorrow in New York City. It follows NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo announcing Sunday the state will begin drug trials using 70,000 doses of Hydroxychloroquine, 10,000 doses of Zithromax and 750,000 doses of Chloroquine Tuesday.

Also during the press conference, Attorney General William Barr said people hoarding essential medical supplies like face masks and hand sanitizer will “hear a knock at the door.” New laws prohibit both hoarding and price gouging.

The UK is on lockdown

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced a lockdown for the UK starting Monday night, with gatherings of more than two people banned unless they’re from the same household, and all non-essential stores and most public places closing. People are allowed to leave home only for essential shopping, medical needs, one form of exercise per day and travel to and from work only when absolutely necessary.

“From this evening, I must give the British people a very simple instruction: You must stay at home,” Johnson said. Visiting friends and family from other households is banned. Police have been given the power to enforce the new rules, including through fines and dispersing gatherings.

Five Florida spring breakers test positive

Five University of Tampa students have tested positive after traveling for spring break, the college tweeted. It comes after spring breakers in Florida were criticized last week for going ahead with their vacation plans and massing together at beaches despite social distancing guidelines and potential risk of contracting COVID-19.

Amazon to begin delivering test kits

Amazon will be delivering and picking up coronavirus test kits in Seattle, with the program part of the Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network (SCAN) backed by the Gates Foundation. If a person tests positive after the test kit is analyzed, they will be contacted by a health care worker. “Responding to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 crisis must be a community effort and requires support from both the private and public sectors,” Kristen Helton, director of Amazon Care, said. “We … are eager to leverage Amazon Care’s infrastructure and logistics capabilities to support this local effort.”

US Surgeon general warns things will get worse

Dr. Jerome Adams, the US surgeon general, warned Monday that the coronavirus outbreak in the US will get worse before it gets better. “We really need everyone to understand this is serious, to lean into what they can do to flatten the curve,” Adams told CBS This Morning. He added that it will be awhile before “life gets back to normal” and stressed that Americans must ake steps “right now” to help stop the spread.

Congressman with coronavirus hospitalized

Utah Rep. Ben McAdams, who tested positive for COVID-19 last week, was hospitalized on Friday after experiencing a “severe shortness of breath.” McAdams said Sunday that he’s feeling better and expects to be released once doctors determine it’s appropriate. In his message, the Democratic congressman also urged people to follow advice from the CDC and Utah Department of Health to stop the spread of the virus.

March 22

Weinstein reportedly tests positive

Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a report by Deadline. Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison in March on sexual assault and rape charges and recently transferred to Wende Correctional Facility in New York. Deadline reports he has been placed in medical isolation, but public relations representatives of Weinstein have no knowledge of the positive diagnosis.

GameStop backflips on decision to stay open

Days after defending its decision to stay open during the coronavirus pandemic, claiming it was providing “essential retail,” video game giant GameStop is closing stores to customers. It will allow curb-side pickups and continue to handle online orders.

“This is an unprecedented time and each day brings new information about the COVID-19 pandemic,” George Sherman, GameStop’s CEO, said in a press release announcing the change. “Our priority has been and continues to be on the well-being of our employees, customers and business partners.”

Australian lockdown measures in place

The Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison, has announced that stricter lockdown measures will now be enforced and that the country’s pubs, restaurants, bars, clubs, gyms and other “nonessential” services will be shut from midday on Monday, March 23. Morrison also requested all Australians stay home unless travel is essential.

“Those holidays that you may have been planning to take interstate over the school holidays are canceled,” Morrison noted in a press briefing on March 22.

Australia’s states and territories have also begun closing borders and will enforce 14-day quarantines for any domestic travellers. South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory all announced any incoming travellers would be required to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival by air, land or sea.

Another sport gets postponed: Australian Rules Football

In light of the new lockdown measures in Australia, the Australian Football League — the country’s preeminent professional sporting competition — has decided to postpone the season indefinitely. The AFL had planned to forge ahead with the first round of the season, playing in empty stadiums, but the new measures have made playing on untenable.

Gillon McLachlan, AFL CEO, said it would be an understatement to call the coronavirus pandemic “the most serious threat to our game in 100 years.” At the earliest, the AFL will continue its season in June, but a decision on its fate will not be made until the end of April.

Rand Paul tests positive

Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican of Kentucky, has tested positive for coronavirus. In a tweet Sunday, Paul’s account revealed the results and is in quarantine. According to the tweet, Paul is “asymptomatic and was tested out of an abundance of caution due to his extensive travel and events,” with a followup tweet noting that his staff has been operating remotely and that he “expects to be back in the Senate after his quarantine period ends.”

Paul is the first US senator to test positive for the virus.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel in quarantine

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has entered quarantine after being told that a doctor who gave her a pneumonia vaccine Friday has tested positive for coronavirus. According to the Associated Press, Merkel was put into quarantine shortly after a press conference on Sunday where she announced some “new measures to curb the spread of the virus.” The country has added a ban on gatherings of more than two people in a bid to slow the pandemic.

Senate, White House reach deal on $2 trillion stimulus package to lessen COVID-19’s economic impact

After five days of negotiations, Senate leaders and the Trump administration the White House said early Wednesday morning that Senate leaders and the Trump administration have reached a deal on a $2 trillion stimulus package to help relieve the economic impact of COVID-19.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are done. We have a deal,” White House legislative affairs director Eric Ueland told reporters around 1AM, according to the Washington Post.

Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who negotiated with Ueland, Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin and other officials, are expected to discuss the deal in Senate soon.

The deal still needs to be approved by the Senate and House of Representatives, but the stock market rose on Tuesday as reports came out that an agreement was imminent, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining more than 2,100 points, or 11.4%.

Wall Street roars on news of potential stimulus deal, Trump hints at opening economy

The size of the stimulus package has grown over the past week, from the $850 billion that the Trump administration reportedly first asked for, to the current $2 trillion.

The deal includes an increase in unemployment insurance, $130 billion earmarked for hospitals, $1,200 checks to many Americans and a $367 billion loan program for small businesses, among other provisions.

According to New York Times reporter Alan Rappeport, the deal also includes a provision, secured by Schumer, that bars businesses controlled by the president, vice president, members of Congress and heads of executive departments from receiving loans or investments from Treasury programs.

Schumer secured a provision in the agreement that will prohibit businesses controlled by the President, Vice President, Members of Congress, and heads of Executive Departments from receiving loans or investments from Treasury programs, per senior Dem aide.

— Alan Rappeport (@arappeport) March 25, 2020

President Donald Trump suggested this week that he wants to lift emergency orders much more quickly than public health experts have suggested. Yesterday Trump told reporters he wants the nation to be “opened up and just raring to go by Easter,” despite warnings by public health experts that more time is needed to contain the spread of novel coronavirus.

According to data from John Hopkins University, there are currently more than 55,200 cases of COVID-19 in the U.S., with a total of 801 deaths.

Biden Wants No Part of Impeachment Trial

LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com), Nov. 5, 2019.--On a day when 80-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) instructed House Judiciary Chairman Jerold Nadler (D-N.Y.) to write articles of impeachment on 73-year-old President Donald Trump, former Vice President and Democrat front-runner Joe Biden said he refused to testify. Trump insisted that if the impeachment went to trial in the Senate, he’d have his attorneys subpoena Biden to testify. Biden finds himself in the center of the controversy, where Democrats accuse Trump of abuse of power, violating his oath of office for his July 25 phone call with 40-year-old Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) compiled a 300-page report, summarizing weeks of testimony, concluding that Trump engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors withholding military aid until Ukraine produced information on Joe and his 50-yuear-old son, Hunter.

Biden wants no part of any impeachment trial, especially if he’s cross-examined for his role in 2014, while Vice President, in landing Hunter a $!50,000 a month job on Ukraine’s Burisma Holdings board. Hunter has already admitted Oct. 15 he wouldn’t have gotten the job without his father’s help. He also said, in hindsight, it was probably not a good idea. Joe wants to pretend he’s not at the center of the Ukraine controversy where Democrats accuse Trump of bribery and obstruction of Congress, essentially abusing power pressuring Zelensky to dig up dirt on the Bidens. Schiff’s 300-page report draws unwarranted conclusions from weeks of closed-and-open-door testimony, finding that Trump tried to manipulate the 2020 by seeking information from a foreign government on a U.S. citizen. Democrats leaped to the conclusion that Trump wanted to manipulate the 2020 election.

Not one witness could state with certainty Trump’s motives, often admitting under cross-examination that they were speculating why he withheld $391 million in Ukraine’s military aid. Democrats on the Intel Committee insist Trump jeopardized U.S. national security keeping funds from Ukraine. But Democrats wanted no part of any discussion that suggests withholding the funds was routine for a foreign government seeking Pentagon cash with a history of rampant corruption. Biden says he won’t participate in any Senate trial because he wants to keep House managers focused on Trump. “No, I’m not going to let them [House managers] take their eye off the ball,” Biden said in Iowa Falls. “The president is the one who has committed impeachable crimes, and I’m not going to let him divert from that. I ‘m not going to let anyone divert from that,” Biden insisted to reporters.

If the House sends articles of impeachment to the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) promised to conduct a fair impeachment trial. Trump’s attorneys will be allowed to subpoena anyone they like to defend the president. If Trump’s case revolves around investigating corruption in Ukraine, he’s got to show that Biden and his son Hunter were part of the problem. Biden was asked by former President Barack Obama to lead an anti-corruption task force in Ukraine, only to find Hunter a $150,00 a month job. If Trump’s afforded his 14th Amendment Due Process rights, he’ll be allowed to call all witnesses that could exonerate him, including the Bidens. Joe can’t arbitrarily refuse to testify, while, at the same time, accuse Trump of stonewalling Congress. Deciding to writes articles of impeachment, Nadler knows that all bets are off when it comes to witnesses.

Trump has been warning House officials that a Senate trial could embarrass a lot of people, now jumping on the impeachment bandwagon. “The president wants his case made fully in the Senate with a full trial and that’s a point we’re going to make consistently,” said Eric Uleland, White House legislative affairs director. “The underlying impeachment rules of the Senate afford the president a full suite of rights to argue his case on the facts and on the merits,” Ueland said, insisting the president needs the full set of options, including calling witnesses to testify. Biden wants to continue the biased House Democrat case against Trump, something that won’t happen in the Senate trial. Schiff and Nadler had their say in their partisan hearings, now they face a different test, proving their case under cross-examination. When the dust settles, it’s doubtful they’ll convince the GOP to back their case.

Spending months building a one-sided, partisan impeachment case against Trump, Democrats face a different hurdle, convincing GOP senators to back their impeachment case. So far, not a single Republican has shown any inclination to back their case. Democrats won’t be happy with Trump’s witness list, especially if it includes Joe and Hunter Biden. ”The president wants his case made fully in the Senate with a full-tirial and that a point we’re going to make consistently,” said Ueland. Unlike Democrats that called only prosecution-friendly witnesses, Republicans will call exculpatory witnesses once the Senate trial begins, giving Trump his Due Process rights. House Democrats have kept Trump’s lawyers out of the impeachment process, letting his detractors build a one-sided case. Democrats, like Joe and Hunter Biden, want to avoid the witness stand but Trump will get his day in court.

New story in Politics from Time: Inside Mitch McConnell’s Reluctant Preparation for Impeachment

It is obvious to all that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is still trying — against all odds and with little prospect of success — to keep the impeachment of President Donald Trump off his agenda for as long as possible. “This whole issue, as far as I’m concerned, is a House issue,” McConnell told reporters this week, when asked about how he was preparing for impeachment’s arrival in his chamber. “If the House does in fact act, the Senate will be in business with an impeachment trial.”

In normal times, McConnell’s to-do list in the Senate would be a challenge. In the era of impeachment, it’s a high-wire act of the first order. The wily Kentuckian has been tied up trying to push across the finish line a spending plan to keep the government’s doors open through September, a defense bill that would give the Pentagon a pay raise and, if the stars align perfectly, a rewrite of the NAFTA trade deal. Each is a weighty endeavor that requires intense attention from its disparate backers and at least a few Democratic votes.

Democrats, meanwhile, are insisting the raft of measures also include money for election security to curb any potential interference on the Russians’ behalf, a move Republicans say is extraneous to the Pentagon budget. And, for his part, Trump is signaling that he might not sign some of those big-ticket items unless he also is guaranteed funding for his wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, a non-starter for Democrats.

But the i-word looms over everything on Capitol Hill these days, and it’s become deeply personal to Trump. On Wednesday, Senators — who will serve as jurors in a trial if the House votes to impeach the President — got the order they were expecting: Clear your calendars for January. The directive came during a meeting of Senate Republicans, where White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, congressional liaison Eric Ueland, former-Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and ex-Treasury Department spokesman Tony Saygeh updated lawmakers on Trump’s mindset, preferences and flash points. Cipollone, who took the lead during the meeting and is expected to helm the White House’s defense, repeated the administration’s position that the impeachment lacks merit.

Meanwhile, lawmakers urgently need to move ahead with a spending plan or the government will run out of money next Friday — Dec. 20 — unless Congress and the White House can agree on a way forward. That same urgency, though, works against McConnell’s ambitious agenda. House and Senate leaders alike anticipate the House will first pass a spending plan before the deadline and then move quickly into its articles of impeachment. The one-two punch may prove too much for Trump; if he lumps impeachment with other goals, things will get ugly fast.

Republicans are putting the onus on Democrats to fall in line to avoid a crisis. “It’s going to require cooperation from Democrats to get through this year-end agenda: to get the spending bill done, to get the [United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement] done, to get the defense authorization done,” said Sen. John Thune, the Senate’s number-two Republican. “I hope they’ll see past impeachment.”

But the Senate’s top Democrat, Sen. Chuck Schumer, says it’s on Republicans to curb Trump’s demands. “He hasn’t learned his lessons. If President Trump doesn’t sit down with us and negotiate a bill, we will have a second Trump shutdown,” Schumer said, invoking last year’s 35-day shutdown over wall funding that never came. “It’s laughable that Republicans can blame Democrats when they know darned well that, on the appropriations process, it’s President Trump who is holding everything up and making the chances of a shutdown a little more real than anybody would like.”

For his part, McConnell, who has total control over the Senate agenda and calendar, is still publicly musing that perhaps the House will decide not to impeach Trump after all. “We’re going to have to decide — once we get this matter from the House, if we do — how we’re going to handle it,” McConnell told reporters on Tuesday.

McConnell says he is weighing his options for how his chamber deals with the almost inevitable impeachment arrival. The easiest path would be for McConnell and his Democratic counterpart, Schumer, to privately agree to a set of rules to govern both sides. So far, according to McConnell and Schumer alike, they haven’t even begun those talks.

A second option for running the Senate process would be adopting a rules package, which requires 51 Senators’ votes. Right now, Republicans have 53 seats — meaning a party-line vote could be sufficient to set the roadmap for a trial. Some Republicans fret that starting the trial from such a partisan posture will sully its credibility. Others argue that members like Susan Collins and Mitt Romney are unlikely to join an effort to protect Trump solely on partisan lines. (During Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial in 1999, the Senate adopted a unanimous rules package after closed-door talks.)

The third option, to McConnell’s mind, would be the most chaotic: Senators could decide, in real-time, the rules through a series of motions offered from the floor of the Senate. Senators don’t expect Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who would preside over a Senate trial, to take an activist role; McConnell suggested Roberts would be a “passive” participant and put the motions to votes among Senators, who would need 51 votes to adopt an idea put forward from the Senate floor. While this would presumably be the most democratic trial format, it also is the most unpredictable and unwieldy — and, perhaps most importantly for Trump, dangerous for the President should things spiral out of control. “It’s kind of a jump ball,” McConnell said, describing the motions option.

Nevertheless, it is drawing interest from the President and his advisers, who believe the format would allow Senators or White House lawyers to call witnesses who previously were not heard from, in particular Hunter and Joe Biden, who Trump believes, without evidence, are at heart of a corruption scheme in Ukraine. Speaking to reporters in London on Tuesday, Trump said this option may offer a chance for officials in his administration to testify in a “fair” environment, given a Republican majority.

Asked about Trump’s statements that he wants to call witnesses such as acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Energy Secretary Rick Perry during the Senate trial, McConnell was characteristically cool. “I don’t have any advice to give the President about the way they want to handle the representation,” McConnell said.

Thus has been McConnell’s posture since Trump took office: asked repeatedly about impeachment, McConnell ducks with skill. “There is no answer at the moment,” McConnell said when pressed for details about the Senate’s preparation this week. “I haven’t answered your question because there is no answer at this point.” Soon, there may have to be.

Trump and White House officials are guilty of Jury Tampering — the jurors are Republican members of the UNITED STATES SENATE.

Washington Post

In addition to Graham, the meeting Thursday included Republican Sens. Mike Lee (Utah), Ron Johnson (Wis.), John Neely Kennedy (La.), Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Tom Cotton (Ark.), along with Cipollone; acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney; senior adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner; and counselor Kellyanne Conway, according to the officials familiar with the discussions.

The meeting was organized by White House legislative affairs director Eric Ueland, who was also in attendance along with advisers Pam Bondi and Tony Sayegh, who were recently hired to guide the White House’s impeachment messaging and strategy, the officials said.

Jury Tampering Law and Legal Definition

Jury tampering is the crime of attempting to influence a jury through other means than the evidence presented in court, such as conversations about the case outside the court, offering bribes, making threats or asking acquaintances to interfere with a juror.

A person commits the crime of jury tampering if, with intent to influence a juror's vote, opinion, decision or other action in the case, he attempts directly or indirectly to communicate with a juror other than as part of the proceedings in the trial of the case.

A juror includes any person who is a member of any jury, including a grand jury, impaneled by any court or by any public servant authorized by law to impanel a jury. The term juror also includes any person who has been summoned or whose name has been drawn to attend as a prospective juror.

If they do this, there’s an awful lot of Republicans need to go to jail as soon as the Dems take Congress and the White House.

Kudlow Quotes Relief Bundle Might Be $2 Trillion …

WASHINGTON– A bipartisan group of mediators on Capitol Hill hurried Saturday to complete a stimulus costs developed to blunt the effect of the coronavirus pandemic that has actually brought the international economy to a virtual grinding halt and plunged financial markets into turmoil.

The GOP Senate leadership hoped to have details of the costs completed over the weekend, with the objective of passing it Monday. The objective was also to include numerous months of appropriations developed to keep the federal government running, according to one administration authorities– a relocation that would permit Congress to adjourn for the coming weeks.

Senators have been meeting behind closed doors on Capitol Hill this week to attempt to hammer out an arrangement on a stimulus bundle that might top $1.3 trillion suggested to rescue organisations and employees however had actually been caught up on several sticking points in the talks

Negotiators appeared to overcome one significant obstacle after the Trump administration endorsed an expansion of joblessness insurance that numerous Senate Democrats had actually been looking for. The administration had actually been pushing a proposal to provide money payments straight to numerous Americans; while Democrats wanted to expand the unemployment insurance coverage system for those whose hours have been cut or who have actually been laid off totally.

Eric Ueland, the White House congressional liaison, informed press reporters Saturday that the White House backed the unemployment proposition.

A lot of the details of the bundle remain under negotiation– with exceptional problems consisting of the size of the money payments to taxpayers, the details about the growth of joblessness assistance, also what the assistance to health centers, state and city governments and major U.S. industries will appear like.

Quickly before 2 p.m., Senate arbitrators headed back to a closed-door meeting to discuss the Republican offer to add a boosted unemployment insurance coverage program to the Trump administration’s strategy to send out cash directly to Americans. However the lots of moving parts of the larger stimulus bundle were posturing issues, with additions in one location putting pressure on mediators to give up on other areas.

” The pieces relate,” stated Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.), the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, without stating whether Democrats had backed the Republican offer.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the Senate would hold a preliminary procedural vote Sunday with the aim of passing the final plan Monday. The Democratic-controlled House would require to come back into session next week to make the bill law– however there were indicators that the costs could be voted into law under expedited treatments without bringing the majority of House members back to Washington.

Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill sounded a positive tone about the state of the settlements on Saturday– however cautioned that the plan wasn’t yet finished.

” We are making good progress on a lot of the problems that we Democrats feel are very important,” leading Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) stated in remarks on the Senate floor. He explained the bipartisan settlements between the Senate and the Trump administration as being conducted in “good faith.”

” We’ve made some development but I can’t tell you that we have an offer,” said Senate Financing Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa).

The expense now is likewise anticipated to consist of billions more in emergency funding for federal companies that White House spending plan authorities asked for recently, in big part due to the fact that it isn’t clear when legislators will have the ability to return to Capitol Hill, according to a senior administration official.

The Office of Management and Spending plan sent out a request Tuesday night for $458 billion aimed at boosting companies responding to the pandemic, proposing an extra $115 billion for the Department of Health and Person Solutions, with $3.4 billion of that put toward the Centers for Illness Control and Prevention.

The request likewise required an additional $8.3 billion for the Department of Defense, more than $16 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs and $3.2 billion for the Department of Homeland Security, among other boosts.

The senior administration authorities stated the White Home was working with Congress to form a bundle that looks after the demands but likewise doesn’t get slowed down in unassociated, ideological spats.

Congress currently passed an $8.3 billion emergency situation spending procedure earlier this month.

Larry Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council, laid out a total government monetary response to the coronavirus emergency situation at more than $2 trillion, or 10%of the country’s GDP, as negotiations over a rescue plan advanced Capitol Hill Saturday.

He at first explained a congressional costs bill that might top $2 trillion, leading to confusion over the size of the bundle under discussion by lawmakers. Another White Home official later clarified that the figure pointed out by Mr. Kudlow consisted of the additional impact of action by the Federal Reserve. Senators still are thinking about a stimulus amount between $1.3 trillion and $1.4 trillion, the official said.

Beyond employees, the plan is anticipated to include provisions to assist companies both big and little.

Legislators weighing industry aid are considering whether to require that any major U.S. industry that accepts government assistance aid safeguard employees’ jobs and advantages as conditions for accepting taxpayer assistance.

Mr. Schumer stated that Democrats were pushing for large corporations, including airlines and makers, to comply with particular conditions, consisting of dedicating to no layoffs, no wage cuts for employees, no compensation increases for executives, a warranty that laid-off employees might be rehired in a recovery and a restriction on stock buybacks.

President Trump on Saturday contacted lawmakers to restrict stock buybacks as part of the last costs.

Airlines have actually been ramping up pressure on lawmakers and government officials in recent days, joining with labor unions to warn that some 750,000 tasks hang in the balance. They have argued they require immediate infusions of money by means of federal government grants, not just loans, to avoid mass layoffs.

Chief executives of major traveler and freight airlines told congressional leaders Saturday that they would not cut staff through Aug. 31 if grants were enacted. They likewise stated that they would be willing to limit executive settlement and refrain from redeeming stock and paying dividends over the lifetime of any government loans or loan guarantees.

” Unless worker payroll defense grants are passed instantly, much of us will be forced to take oppressive measures such as furloughs,” the group of CEOs composed.

But the grants were looking less most likely on Saturday.

” The grant problem is a tough concern,” stated Sen. John Thune (R., S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican politician and a member of the Senate committee that supervises airline companies.

United Airlines Holdings Inc.

said the carrier required government aid by the end of the month to avoid payroll decreases in line with a formerly announced 60%cut in its schedules.

” Time is running out,” United CEO Oscar Munoz and President Scott Kirby wrote to workers Friday. That night, the Chicago-based carrier said it would stop almost all of its remaining international flying, citing government mandates or restrictions restricting travel.

Boeing Co.

signed up with airline companies in recent days seeking taxpayer aid The Chicago-based aircraft maker is looking for a minimum of $60 billion in private and public liquidity amid a cash crunch. Executives have actually stated they are seeking to prevent layoffs as global need for air-travel– and airliners– drops.

” We do need defenses for the labor force,” said Jon Holden, president of International Association of Machinists District 751, which represents Boeing factory workers in the Seattle location. “What makes the aerospace industry so essential is the numerous thousands of jobs that it supports in our community.”
