Quid pro quo. This for that. On the second day of President Donald Trump’s defense in the Senate impeachment trial, former National Security advisor John Bolton leaked information from his yet unpublished book alleging that the president withheld aid to Ukraine in order to get an investigation into his political rival.
Threatened by a rising tide of hysterical pundits claiming the Bolton revelations changed everything, one of the president’s star lawyers, Democrat Alan Dershowitz, reversed the entire course of the public narrative:
“Nothing in the Bolton revelations, even if true, would rise to the level of an abuse of power, or an impeachable offense. You cannot turn conduct that is not impeachable into impeachable conduct simply by using terms like “quid pro quo…”
If anyone is still ignorant of what quid pro quo means, they must be living under a rock. The whole country has been hearing about a quid pro quo for months now.
Keeping in mind that asking for one thing in return for another is not illegal. President Trump allegedly demanded a quid pro quo from Ukraine’s president Zelenskiy. He allegedly demanded that Zelenskiy investigate the activities of Hunter Biden in Ukraine in exchange for US aid; aid for investigation.
Two things:
- one, the president has the right to ask for something in return for US aid.
- two, Trump did not mention withholding aid until Zelensky started an investigation of the Bidens
The Democrats have been framing the argument this way: the president withheld aid to Ukraine to get President Zelenskiy to dig up dirt on the president’s political rival, Joe Biden.
But, that is not what happened. The president released transcripts of two calls that he had with Zelenskiy, and he does not ask in either of them for political dirt on Joe Biden. What he does ask for is cooperation investigating the 2016 election and help getting to the bottom of the firing of Viktor Shokin.
Read the transcript. The US and Ukraine have a lot in common and have good reason to cooperate in the ongoing battle against corruption.

Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I found this during my hunt for something regarding this.|

Le principe reste d’insérer ces mots clés de manière naturelle. Dans les mentions légales par exemple, vous pouvez aussi rajouter des mots clés comme « spécialités normandes », « gourmands » etc. Autant de mots qui ont un rapport avec le champ lexical de la cuisine et qui concerne notre entreprise / site internet. Voilà pour la partie optimisation « on-page » de la page Facebook qui se fait donc pour la majorité dans la catégorie à propos (sous la photo et le nom de la page

L’Inbound propose, le consommateur dispose. Après toutes ces définitions, il faut bien admettre que les termes de ‘pull marketing’ et de ‘Inbound Marketing’ ont sensiblement le même sens.?Le pull, plus orienté SEO et référencement naturel, attire le client potentiel et offre à l’Inbound la visibilité nécessaire pour transmettre ses contenus riches en informations. Autrement dit, l’Inbound a besoin du pull pour exister, et inversement. Nous avons donc deux méthodes complémentaires et qui ne peuvent pas fonctionner individuellement.?En fusionnant les deux, on obtient « l’Inpull Marketing », qui se définit comme la démarche marketing globale, de la rédaction des contenus informatifs (= inbound), au choix des cibles de communication (= pull).

L’occurrence du mot-clé : un rôle primordial sur le positionnement d’une page ? L’occurrence du mot-clé était auparavant une composante essentielle pour le référencement naturel et il correspond au nombre de fois où un mot-clé est présent et donc répété sur une page.?Dans son principe de base, le mot-clé est intégré de manière naturelle dans au contenu et celui-ci doit être placé dans les zones prises en compte par le robot de Google.??Aujourd’hui, il ne joue plus un rôle primordial dans le SEO. Cependant, cela ne veut pas dire qu’il faut négliger cette approche et quelques rappels sont nécessaires. Le mot-clé principal doit être intégré dans les balises principales et le texte
