Now I'm more curious than ever about the circumstances of the sudden and unexpected retirement of Justice Kennedy. Kennedy's son who was Drumph's personal banker at Deutsche Bank. I'm wondering if he's caught up in the DOJ investigation into Deutsche Bank and there would be a secret pardon awaiting him if Kennedy stepped down.

Durham found less than nothing, not even enough to misstate the findings and cast false doubts on people the way Comey did to HRC in 2016. So rather than going to the microphones and admitting that he and Barr have been travelling the world on the taxpayer (not Drumpf) dime on a fruitless political witch hunt, by saying he's holding his report until after the election, the Trumpanzees can still claim breathlessly that VP Biden, Hunter, and the Obama Administration are under DOJ investigation and ooooh boy are they in trouble after Dotard is reelected. Then Durham can quietly close this BS "investigation" of the oranges with as little fanfare as possible.

Wow, we again see that Dotard is the master of projection, he accused Joe of being on performance enhancing drugs when The Commander and Cheat was clearly geeked out of his mind on Adderall.

This is fine, the Biden Admin can call the Drumpf Census null and void, and do it over. Or they can pick up where the Drumpf regime left off, if they find that up until Ross unlawfully violated the judge's order things were done properly. We need an honest and accurate count for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is to insure appropriate representation and federal funding.

So let's do the math, it cost 200k Amercan lives to get to 10% of the population with antibodies. Hurd immunitycomes at about 70% with antibodies, so Dotard is willing to let 1.4 million Americans die to get to "hurd mentality."

DeJoy's going to jail, he lied in his congressional testimony. There will be emails regarding these machines and the reason for their destruction. Trump hires the BEST people, to crime for him.

Dotard's campaign is working on two fronts for the eventuality that he loses. The first is to have SCOTUS disqualify mail-in ballots and name him the winner as it did in 2000 for Bush in spite of Gore actually winning the election.

The second and more diabolical is to tie the election up in the courts so that the safe harbor period approaches for the naming of electors, then he will have Republican legislatures in swing states name electors faithful to Combover Quisling in spite of the vote going in favor of Biden. The head of the PA GOP admitted to either Politico or the Atlantic that he has had such talks with Drumpf campaign representatives. I could totally see the WI and NC GOP going for this plan which can be described as nothing less than a coup d'etat.

This will rate wall to wall gotcha coverage on Faux Spews and the Old ------ & Numbskulls Network.

"Majority Rule" means that 51% of the people can vote to piss in the Cheerios of the other 49%.

That's not how the country was set up, and for good reason.

BS, it was NEVER intended to work the way it does now. The courts were intended to be the referees, the moderator of radical ideology, not the political football the way GOP and Moscow Mitch have made them. Moscow Mitch has packed the court with radical Reichwing zealots who believe that money is political speech, political PACs can accept donations from anywhere (even Russia for the NRA) without disclosing, corporations are people, and that states have the right to make voting as difficult as possible for whichever group they want. The Dems are going to have to unpack the courts by either expanding them or by firing/impeaching a bunch of GOP judges starting with Judge Keg, who obviously lied during his confirmation hearings; because it's not right that SCOTUS has the ability to overturn broadly popular legislation like ACA simply because of hard Reich political ideology.

I'm sure if the Founders had seen the way the country would expand and change, they would have made the Senate more representative. The fact that we are moving toward a time when the vast majority of people in this country will live in 15 states, why should states like RI, WY, ID get two Senators when far more populace states like CA, TX, FL get the same. The votes of people in WY should not count five times as much the votes in CA, that's anti-democratic. Dems can fix some of that by making DC and PR states. That should be their first order of business.

Dime-store slurring Mussolini has to grift while the grifting is good. His time is nearly up; I'm sure he packing his bags to jump on a plane and flee to Moscow.

Thanks to the EC and the way the Senate is rigged, we are already in an apartheid state, where the minority rules the majority. The Democratic candidate has won the popular vote in six of the last seven elections, yet six of the nine justices on SCOTUS represent the views of 40% of Americans or in the case of ROE, about 25% of Americans. Good luck getting ANY moderate legislation on ANYTHING to stand up to judicial review, whether it's for equality, voting rights, environmental legislation, healthcare, you name it. The population of this country is trending left, but the levers of government are held by the radical, reactionary, authoritarian Reich.

Buying votes and not even trying to hide it anymore. That's fantastic.

More projection from Cult45, as we know Dotard FINALLY just two months before a presidential election approved Hurricane Maria recovery funds for Puerto Rico. The hurricane happened THREE FREAKING YEARS AGO. This is an obvious attempt to buy the votes of PR voters who had to move to Florida thanks to the devastation of their island and the lack of response at the time from the Regime of dime-store slurring Mussolini.

Wait, not a Democrat hoax? Who could have known?

We are headed toward a sort of apartheid in America. 66% of SCOTUS will represent the views of no more than 40% of citizens. The GOP is all about minority rule. In poll after poll, Americans by overwhelming margins support Roe, yet SCOTUS will strike it down likely next year. Currently, because of the anti-democratic EC and the anti-democratic way that Senate seats are not apportioned by population, the GOP, which is quickly becoming a permanent minority party, has outsized power. That plus the GOP supporting full-blown autocracy makes these dangerous times.

NY should find a way to immediately cease all tax dollars paid to the federal government. In the end, NY would be dollars ahead.

The GOP will be sorry if they jam this through. The Dems with Joe as POTUS, and with the House and the Senate can and should expand SCOTUS to 13 or 15 seats, and limit terms to 18 years. That way, the court becomes MUCH less of a GOP political football. The founding fathers never meant for SCOTUS to be politicized the way the GOP has made it. These are moves the Dems can make, and SCOTUS cannot overturn them. The Dem candidate has won the majority of votes in six of the past seven elections, yet Dem nominees will be outnumbered on the court 6-3, that's not right. The GOP is quickly becoming a minority party; SCOTUS should not so over-represent the minority and limit attempts by the majority to govern.

Then Dems should expand all the federal courts by about a third to water down the Dotard effect.

Either that or they could shrink SCOTUS to 7 justices. With the most recent additions, the rapist and the radically unfit GOP operative that dime-store slurring Mussolini is about to nominate being removed.

Dems can and should impeach and remove judge Keg anyway because he lied in his Senate hearing.

If dime-store slurring Mussolini wins reelection, that money will magically be redirected to the wall, or more likely into his pocket.

My bet is there's a fake saber rattling war already planned by Orange Jesus and his boss. War time Presidents win.

This used to be my fear, but I suspect the opinions of dime-store slurring Mussolini are baked in and would not move much even if he started a war. Also, since the illegal Iraq war debacle, the American people are still very skeptical of wars started for election purposes. Unless it was an attack on the US of Pearl Harbor proportions, I doubt a war would rally many votes to Drumpf.

For the Drumpf Regime, this is not a bug, it's a feature.

Screw that! I use a noise app when I sleep, I'm too cheap to pay for the add-free subscription so every Sunday night, it plays a 30-second ad for some stupid game app, and every time it makes me angry!

If any of those people die, she should be convicted of manslaughter!

Lock him up! When all is said and done for the Drumpf Regime, they're going to need their own wing in a federal prison!

It's sad that all Diaper Donnie and the GOP have left is cheating, lying, voter suppression, and voter disenfranchisement. Maybe if they came up with policies that the majority of Americans liked they might be able to win a free and fair election. Instead they insist on pandering to their shrinking base of poorly educated white male voters and white evangelical xtians so that they can hold power in order to make their benefactors, the 1%, richer and the rest of their base poorer and sicker.

I also think the Cover-Up General believes every word he spews. He has a very undemocratic view of Presidential power, mistakenly believing that the founding fathers wanted POTUS to be an authoritarian. It's the same view that Cheney had, but Barr is obviously more than willing blow through all the norms and laws in order to break the constitution and make it happen. I also think that Barr is either under Dotard's spell, or that the Russians or somebody else has something on Barr to make him roll over and be such a supplicant to the occupant of the WH.

Barr's disparagement of the lawyers working for DOJ made me scratch my head. I wonder if John Durham is now also pushing back regarding his sham investigation of oranges. Barr is desperate to drop a game-changer just before the election so that he can pull a Comey on VP Biden's campaign, but it's seeming more and more like that might not happen.

I read an interesting article about a study in the NE Journal of Medicine by a couple of infectious disease researchers. They posit that not only are masks helping to limit the spread of Coronavirus, but they are also likely increasing survivability if you get COVID. Their theory, based in data from cruise ships and the meatpacking industry, is that even if you are exposed to Coronavirus while wearing a mask, you ingest less of the virus. Because you have a lower viral load, the symptoms are far less severe or you might even be asymptomatic. Even if you have a lower viral load, you still gain the immunity you would normally get from having the disease. SO WEAR YOUR GD MASK!!!
