Hey Sarah Palin, what was that about death panels?

The far Reich SCROTUS will force Dems hands. As soon as SCROTUS rips away healthcare from millions of people, Dems will recognize that no matter how popular the piece of legislation, no matter how big the vote in favor, or how carefully crafted it is, this radical SCROTUS will take up any lunatic challenge if it meets their objective of a conservative Christian theocracy/oligarchy where all money flows to the top. Next, they'll be coming for your birth control, and I expect that even Social Security and Medicare (if they survive thanks to Dotard) will be in front of the court in a few years.

I don't recall who wrote it, but I read a column recently that was spot-on. I've long believed that the reason the GOP was working like meth-crazed weasels to re-make the courts at the expense of everything else is because they recognize that they are quickly becoming forever a minority party and this is their last gasp to hold onto some semblance of power. The column opened my eyes to the idea that the courts will actually push our government further Reich, because they are willing to make rulings that will destroy popular programs where elected officials were not willing to make those same uncomfortable votes, ACA is a prime example.

If Dems are serious about climate change legislation, about a $15 dollar minimum wage, about a public option, about preserving Medicare and SS, about congressional subpoenas having the force of law, this craven move by the GOP will force the Dems to act. Early in this next legislative session, they will have to re-balance the courts because they are tilted so far to the Reich that even moderately liberal laws, programs or pieces of legislation will not survive SCROTUS scrutiny!

Kremlin Ken and Kremlin Barbie have so much botox in their faces that they are incapable of human facial expressions.

Dotard has been responsible for a lot of horrible things, but this might be the move that, if he gets a second term, forever breaks our government. Dems will have to track the Cultists hired and hidden in the bureaucracy, root them out and fire them, because you know they will throw a wrench in the gears at every opportunity. The difference between Democrats, Republiclowns, and Trumpublicans in government service is that Democrats believe in the government's ability to make the lives of citizens better and that government service is an honorable profession; Republiclowns don't believe that government works but if they find themselves working in government at least show up for work and don't break too many things for fear of getting blamed; and Trumpublicans believe that government doesn't work, and will do everything in their power to prove that by breaking it. Trumpublicans used to be known as the Tea Party, a bunch of hypocritical racists POS who thought the deficit was the predominant issue in this country until their cult leader was put in the WH by James Comey an Putin.

Those 18-24s are so concerned with climate change and gun safety legislation; you'd think 100% of them would be voting for the candidate with an actual plan with achievable goals to help the climate and improve our economy. Millennials are the largest segment of the voting population, if they actually voted, they could elect candidates who would enact the policies they cared about.

Joe was on Pod Save America last week, I listened this past weekend, and he is so smart and well-versed on his policies. Because of the loss of Amazon rain forest, Joe talked about a plan to pay farmers to dedicate some of their cropland to non-food, deep rooted crops that aid in carbon capture, I was really impressed with the depth of his knowledge and understanding. Originally I wasn't excited to vote for Joe as much as I was to vote against Dotard, but the more I see Joe, and especially after he chose my favorite candidate as his running mate, I'm excited to vote for the Biden-Harris ticket.

This is why the Drumpf GOP and the Religious Reich are in bed together, they both target and attract the same mentally defective followers.

This is Putin denying that the Hunter Biden laptop story is a Russian disinformation operation. The prevailing belief among the National Security folks is that Putin is behind the laptop story. Here Putin is casting doubt on the veracity of the story, this is denial that he was involved. Now the Cultists will scream, "see, I told you it was real," thus keeping the story alive.

So basically they were experimenting on the POTUS?

They weren't experimenting, but he demanded to be given meds that the FDA had yet to approve or were still in the trial phase. Certainly the average COVID patient isn't getting convalescent plasma or until last week, Remdesivir, which the WHO as part of a large study reports that it does not help as a treatment for COVID.

Also, not one of Dotard's doctors was a virologist, nor had any of them previously treated COVID.

This is what happens when a retired radiologist/teevee talking head with zero public health experience is allowed to take over the pandemic response task force and run government policy.

Would they give it to the President if it wasn't any good for the covid?
Just asking - please don't throw bottles.

Actually, yes. I heard several public health experts lament the fact that his doctors pumped Dotard full of a bunch of different medications some of which appeared to counteract each other. They said this was an example of how doctors get captured by rich and powerful patients who then demand and get whatever treatments they want despite their efficacy. Early on, he was on an immune suppressant while at the same time receiving convalescent plasma, which is intended to boost immune response.

Dotard has been lying about the pandemic and his efforts to control it since at least February, it's strange that with eight days left they would try honestly. Next, somebody from the regime will admit that Dotard had the worst response of any head of state in the world.

I will say that it's strange they could find a regime surrogate not named Trump. I'm guessing Fredo Jr was too coked to the gills.

Huh, I heard we were rounding the turn? I guess it's more like he's rounding the bend.

I feel terrible for the non-Cult45ists, because they are just as likely to get sick when the MAGAts spread the TrumpVirus to others living in the community.

What's funny is that the latest Dotard bomb was bringing Hunter Biden's former business partner, Anthony Bobulinski to the debate last night. Bobulinski alleges that Joe new about a 2017 venture in which they would partner with a Chinese energy company to invest in the US and elsewhere. Excuse me for my lack of knowledge, but was Joe Biden in government in 2017? I didn't think so. So basically there was no influence to pedal. Anyway the Journal did their due diligence and reported that from their examination of the corporate records, "The Wall Street Journal show no role for Joe Biden."

Two things:

1. To answer your question; I think, if you are a Democrat, you must not just avoid corruption but also anything that could be perceived as corrupt even if looked at through a foggy lens in the middle of a fever dream at midnight during a full-moon lunar eclipse, because you know the GOP noise machine, amplified by Russian disinformation, is great at conflating nothing into a crescendo of VERY LOUD NOTHING which could cause certain soft-headed good ole' boys whose family trees don't branch to get up out of their Barcaloungers and vote; a certain birth certificate stands as Exhibit A and certain emails stand as Exhibit B. So it means that if your dad is VP, and will be expected to handle some overseas business on behalf of the administration, you sadly must limit your overseas business ventures because otherwise there is the potential for the screaming baboons to try to make something of it in the last two weeks before an election, or your dad has to recuse himself from the task and pass it off to somebody at State. Can you imagine the screaming baboons if Joe brought Hunter into the WH as an advisor? Read hatted heads would explode in trailer parks all over the country (mostly in the south)!

2. I didn't know that about Hunter and the WHO organization, good on him! Joe should have taunted Mango Mussolini last night with "how's that Nobel Prize thing going, you know who has a Nobel? President Obama. You know who built an organization that won a Nobel? My son Hunter!"

Dotard doesn't have a "soft spot" for authoritarian leaders, it's a "wet spot." Just look at the walk of shame photos and video from Helsinki, the orange blob had to check his "hair" for Putin's leavings before he walked out to the podium.

Anyone see photos of Moscow Mitch this week? He's not looking real good these days.

Congratulations, for the second day in a row, you have the stupidest take of the day!

Facts are NOT opinion! Dems expect that everybody will form their opinions from the SAME SET OF FACTS!

What's going on with Hunter Biden? Since most of us have not seen the hard drive or computer, we can only speculate. Is Hunter Biden's presence on the Burisma board problematic? Yes. Are Jared and Ivanka's presence in the WH pulling down government salaries and personally profiting like bandits MORE PROBLEMATIC? Hell YES! Interestingly, since Hunter's company has been involved with Burisma, international watchers of such things say the company is no longer the corrupt entity is was previous to his involvement, so his company has done what they promised and cleaned up the corruption.

So back to the computer. Since we KNOW from multiple sources that these emails were circulating for sale in Ukraine as far back as 2019; and we KNOW from multiple sources that the intel community warned the WH that Rudy was a prime target for Russian disinformation; and we KNOW based on what Sacha Baron Cohen did to him, that not only is Rudy a pervert thinking he was going to score with a 15-year-old girl, but that the dementia riddled old drunk is incredibly easily duped; and we KNOW that the intel community has identified Rudy's main source of dirt in Ukraine, Dmitry Firtash, a Russian operative; and we KNOW that Dotard was impeached for trying to extort Ukraine to start an investigation into what he saw as his primary threat, Joe Biden; and we KNOW thanks to the GOP led Senate Intelligence Committee that Russia interfered in the 2016 election on behalf of Dotard; and we KNOW that since the election, Combover Quisling has bent over backwards to help/agree with/defend Russia at every opportunity; and we KNOW that the MAGA computer shop owner, who is legally blind, has changed his story multiple times about the circumstances surrounding the computer and as to whether it was actually Hunter Biden who dropped off the computer; and we KNOW that Hunter Biden lives in LA, so why the hell would he be dropping his computer off at a Delaware shop, and why would he not reclaim it? With all the above facts and circumstances, I tend to believe all the national security voices who say this has all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation operation, especially since it was dropped two weeks before the election. Now some things I've heard from single sources, and have not had time to find confirmation for; the PDFs of the emails were all generated in Eastern Europe, thought that might be part of the fact that the emails were being peddled in Ukraine in 2019, and that the laptop is actually newer than the date that Hunter allegedly dropped it off.

Do I believe known liar "DNI" Ratface when he claims this is not Russian disinformation? Hell NO, he has lied on behalf of his cult leader before and I have no doubt he will continue to lie for him until President Biden kicks him out of his office and into some FBI handcuffs. I know Wray and the FBI had nothing more to add, but they have a policy of not speaking about ongoing investigations, whether this is money laundering, or counterintelligence, or whatever, it does not mean that they agree with Ratface, it's them following policy. We won't know for sure whether the computer is Russian disinformation until after the election when the FBI either issues a report, or as often happens with counterintelligence investigations, they just close it quietly, but even a blind MAGA computer shop owner could see that it stinks to high heaven!

And Hummer, if you read this entire piece, I'm sorry, I'm sure your lips are now really tired, take a break and rehydrate.

He's broke. He owes a billion dollars, much of that coming due in the next few years. There's an old saying about throwing good money after bad, he knows he's going to lose. In spite of his bluster, claiming that they're going to win back the House (HA), win the Senate and the WH, his internal polling is showing what all the public polls show, he's way behind, his October Surprise is a bomb because nobody believes somebody who has lied to the American people over 20,000 times in the last four years, and everybody saw that he was impeached for trying to do the same thing when he extorted Ukraine.

So there's no use throwing money at a lost cause. What's interesting is that Rick Wilson, who still has great contacts inside Dotard's campaign and in GOP world generally said that the campaign is so broke they've pulled down adds in almost all the battlegrounds to focus on FL and GA, but that they've also stopped paying their lawyers. In my experience, lawyers don't work for free. I understand the theory, that if he is declared the winner of FL, GA and TX on election night, he will declare victory, even though counting will continue for days after. He can then unleash the unpaid lawyers and the DOJ to try to seize uncounted ballots and run to court to have certain ballots declared invalid. I'm still hoping Joe can pull out a win in FL a state that Dotard has no possible map to victory without and will be finished counting on election night, but it's too close, those in the know say he needs to be up by five to win a tight race, and he's not.

Any death is terrible, but the Fatality Rate has been slowly but steadily dropping from a high in late July of 4.1 to 2.6 a 37% drop with Recoveries reaching over 3.3Million

Yes, because doctors have learned better ways to treat Covid, and because since the spring surge ended, ICU beds and ventilators have been more available. Now with a bunch of red states and northern swing states overflowing their ICUs, expect the death rate to start rocketing back up as doctors are going to have to start triaging in favor of younger, healthier patients over older, sicker patients. Again, we are nearing the point of Sarah Palin's death panels, thanks to Dotard and the GOP! This is why the WH is so opposed to spending those billions of dollars for testing, they know this will lead to hundreds of thousands more deaths, but if they weren't diagnosed, it was just a heart attack, a stroke or pnumonia. In fact, we have undercounted the Covid deaths by about at least 80,000, as so far this year 300,000 more people have died than in an average non-Covid year.

I'm sure Dotard's people edited out the sound of his bowels evacuating, just prior to his ending the interview.

Dotard has taken the country hostage, and the United States does not bargain with hostage takers.

This was a very strange press conference which had the feeling of pure politics. President Obama was dominating media coverage with a great day in PA taking it to Combove Quisling over his scandals and his incompetence, when all of a sudden this hastily put together news conference is rushed out with no warning. Political hack "DNI" Ratface talks about Iran and Russia having voter data, which is readily available to almost anybody with a public records request. He claimed that Iran circulated emails intended to hurt Trump, but never actually mentions what they are. If he's talking about the supposed Proud Baes emails, they are intended to suppress Democratic voter turnout, so how does that hurt Dotard? Also, Ratface rushed in a quick "thanks to Drumpf our elections are the safest they've ever been" or some such BS, when we know the opposite is true because Orange Adolf has done everything he can to damage our electoral system. Then Wray gets up there, and looking for all the world like he's participating in a hostage video, basically reads a statement from the FBI website about securing the elections. There was no info other than maybe the Proud Baes emails came from Iran but even that wasn't clear.

Pure politics to change the news cycle.

I would prefer that they picked John Barron or David Dennison.

Nope, sorry you can't change a precedent whenever it suits you. Since the early days of the Regime when Sean Spicer claimed that Dotard's tweets carried the force of law as official Presidential statements, to the military jumping through hoops everytime Orange Adolf fires off one of his illiterate military policy tweets, they have been seen as official statements. Now just because DOJ knows how bad the unredacted Mueller Report would be for Barr and Dotard, they're trying to change the rules mid-game. I hope the judge sees through this and releases the entire thing unredacted, serve him right, he'd be responsible for an October Surprise against himself, lol.
