Good Morning, it’s Friday, 3 November 2017 and this is the Mid-day edition of The Nightshift.
President Trump leaves for a long (12 day) trip to Asia today. Behind him, the hot mess in Washington continues as Congress ties to sort out a tax bill that some say favors the rich to the disadvantage of everyone else. Anyone surprised?
Bowe Bergdahl, convicted of desertion while serving a tour of duty in Afghanistan, where he was captured and held by the Taliban for 5 years, has escaped a prison sentence. He will be given a dishonorable discharge from the U.S. Army.
Donna Brazile, former head of the Democratic National Party, has published a book in which she alleges that Hilary Clinton and her campaign management team took control of the Democratic nominating process in 2016, effectively freezing Bernie Sanders out of a serious chance to win the nomination (and in the process, insuring that the Democrats would lose the election). Not good news for a party already in chaos.
Peter Schutz, the Porsche executive credited with saving the car model that became the company’s signature product–the Porsche 911–has died. A very well researched tribute to him is accessible via this link to the New York Times.
The Apple iPhone X goes on sale today. Expect long lines (and lots of people trying to flip them on eBay).
Today is National Sandwich Day. Celebrate by making or eating a sandwich. Yum.
Also, we added the CNN “text news” site, which is much faster than their full multi-media site. It’s also below at the end of the links.
Stay safe, stay dry, and help one other person today.
