Could you give him a call and let him know what I think? They won't take any more of my calls.

Thanks

That’s actually what’s known as “A Round Tuit.” Whenever you ask Trump when he’s going to do something like get serious about the virus, build the wall, release a healthcare plan, etc., he says he’ll get a round tuit.

A little context for the SCOTUS fights present and future:

Kavanaugh referenced Bush v. Gore, the court's opinion that decided the 2000 election along partisan and ideological lines and is still so controversial that it is rarely cited as precedent. He is one of three current justices -- along with John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett -- who worked on Bush's side during the legal fight at the time.

Yeah. The quote was referring to his opinion.

Makes sense, given that he is one of the least qualified jurists in the history of the SC. He is also on record for saying that he will get his revenge on the Dems for how they treated him during his confirmation hearing.

He is a small, petty, immoral asshat.

It may take decades, but I think he will eventually be impeached and removed from the bench. Dems will need to likely possess close to two thirds of the Senate seats to make this happen. Adding DC and PR as states will help get us there.

I do fear that the Hunter Biden news is picking up "some" steam even if most of it is BS and nothing to do with Joe Biden. I also feel that any clout use Hunter or his groups may have used in Russia/China/Ukraine pale in comparison both in the breadth of allegations and evidence against the Trump family, but that doesn't matter anymore.

Were you not impressed with Trump's "COVID, COVID, COVID. It is all they talk about. Turn on the TV. COVID, COVID, COVID," speech?

I've seen some clips, the hits were good at this one. I liked the line about people sick with COVID giving it their all while the president was just giving up.

The positive of Biden winning, to me, is the streets of our major cities should be relatively peaceful on election night. If Trump were in a better position to be re-elected I'd be nervous about the response from the radicalized left. The radicalized right has their guns but I don't see the same type of outburst. Some squirrels might want to start their hibernation now.

The left and their violence...https://www.rawstory.com/2020/10/cbs-hires-24-hour-security-for-lesley-stahl-after-she-receives-threats-following-trump-interview/#.X5hqFHBctDo.twitter

The CBS News network has reportedly hired full-time security for “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl following a death threat one of her family members received after her exclusive interview with President Donald Trump.

The network’s decision came shortly after an unidentified suspect called Stahl and threatened her and her family saying “something about neo-Nazis,” according to TMZ. The mysterious call came just hours before Trump leaked his own copy of the interview via Facebook.

I was expecting it to end with footage of Trump mocking Covid from one of the many times he’s done that.

Per Forbes, here are the "NEWS" papers endorsing Trump (they are all hot garbage).

The Post, a Rupert Murdoch-owned paper that ingratiated itself to Trump this month by publishing unverified allegations about Joe Biden, enthusiastically endorsed Trump’s reelection bid on Monday, despite backing neither major candidate in the 2016 general election and imploring readers to “vote for the one you dislike least.”

The Boston Herald (a right-leaning tabloid controlled by hedge fund Alden Global Capital) and the Colorado Springs Gazette (owned by conservative billionaire Philip Anschutz) also lent their support to Trump this year after sitting out the 2016 race — though at least one member of the Herald’s news staff spoke out against their paper’s decision on Tuesday.

The family-owned Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Wash. endorsed Trump “with misgivings” this year, despite supporting challenger Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The conservative Washington Times — owned by members of the late Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church — endorsed Trump in both 2016 and 2020, but Tuesday’s reelection endorsement was decisive and unambiguous, compared to a more hesitant 2016 nod emphasizing Trump and Clinton’s flaws.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal, owned by Trump mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, again endorsed the president earlier this month, echoing its enthusiastic 2016 Trump nod.
