We also have a condition where the Democrat judges are on the bench because they got 60 plus votes. We also have Republican judges on the bench because they got 51 votes. That seems unfair and inconsistent. If Republicans defend Mitch McConnell's changes in the way OUR SENATE confirms judges --Just because they can-- then when we Democrats can use the CAN word, we should change the rules too, because we can. There is no reason to be nice after McConnell's abusive ways. I say end the filibuster, pack the court with more judges, and dismiss the ones who only got the job with McConnell's 51 bare minimum votes. All the judges on the supreme court should have the job pursuant same qualifications. We don't need affirmative action for Republican extremists.

 

Trump threatens PA governor and say that the state of PA is shut down when it isn't.


Trump Threatens Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf: I’ll Withhold Federal Aid Because You Didn’t Help My Campaign

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf on Monday, threatening to not come to the state’s aid as the deadly COVID-19 pandemic continues to plague it. “So Tom Wolf, next time give us a little notice, governor,” Trump said Monday at the Allentown rally appearance, claiming “your governor made it almost impossible for us to find any site” for the event. “And I’ll remember it, Tom. I’m going to remember it, Tom. ‘Hello, Mr. President, this is Gov. Wolf, I need help, I need help.’ You know what? These people are bad.”"

 

Barrett is confirmed.


Amy Coney Barrett: Senate confirms judge to Supreme Court

 

She's been confirmed... What a surprise.

 

No bipartisan support for Barrett.



https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...76c07e-1789-11eb-befb-8864259bd2d8_story.html

excerpt:

"With only Republicans supporting her confirmation, Barrett is the first Supreme Court justice since Edwin Stanton in 1869 to be confirmed without bipartisan support, according to a review of Senate voting data by National Journal. Even Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.), who backed now-Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh in 2018 and Barrett for her circuit court seat three years ago, did not support her.

There were other factors that made the circumstances of Barrett’s confirmation unique, including the ongoing coronavirus pandemic — meaning a nomination that would’ve surely drawn large throngs of protests to the Capitol in a normal time instead operated in a literally sanitized sphere.

Monday’s planned White House ceremony gives a fitting bookend to her nomination, as Trump hosted a similar Rose Garden event on Sept. 26 to unveil Barrett as his pick, a ceremony which later was deemed a superspreader event. Numerous attendees were later diagnosed with covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, including the president and first lady Melania Trump, two GOP senators and the president of the University of Notre Dame."

 

Susan Collins didn't vote for Barrett.

Collins noted that there hasn't been a confirmation for a Supreme Court justice during an election year since 1932.


Senate confirms Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court

excerpt:

"Barrett was confirmed by a vote of 52-48 on Monday evening, after Democrats exhausted the procedural maneuvers undertaken to delay her confirmation. Only one Republican, Senator Susan Collins, voted against confirming Barrett to the Supreme Court. All the Democrats voted against her, including red state Senators Doug Jones of Alabama, who is up for reelection this year, and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh in 2018."

 

The span from Ginsburg's death to Barrett's confirmation was only five and a half weeks with the confirmation occurring about one week before the election.

Trump didn't even wait for Ginsburg to be buried before announcing his nomination of Barrett.

Ginsburg was buried three days after Trump's nomination announcement.

 

Packing the courts...

 

Trump confuses missiles with toothbrushes.

He refers to the missiles as hydrosonic as well as super-duper.

Hydrosonic is a name of a toothbrush.


Trump keeps confusing the name of new hard-to-kill missiles the US military is working on with a toothbrush

 

And Trump accuses Biden of being senile.

 

Trump uses the term hydrosonic multiple times at a rally. He accused Obama of allowing the secret plans for the 'hydrosonic' missiles to be stolen.

He's still ranting about Obama, 9 years after he became frustrated that Obama ridiculed him at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

Trump has devolved to gibberish.

 

This is brilliant.. We will just force our enemies to brush their teeth.

That'll teach them to fuck with the USA...

 

An article about the blue shift phenomenon in U.S. elections and how the Trump administration can squelch it.


Why Do the Last Votes Counted Skew Democratic?

Why Do the Last Votes Counted Skew Democratic?

excerpt:

"But Trump’s exertions aside, there is another element of the story: even if Republicans and Democrats voted in person and by mail at identical levels, Democrats tend to vote later, which in turn (particularly in elections with heavy voting by mail) means early Republican leads in close races could be fragile.

This phenomenon, known by academics as “the blue shift,” is subtle enough that it only manifests itself in highly competitive elections. But as David Graham explains in an overview of the evidence (and as I have pointed out repeatedly) it became a big deal in 2018 when Democrats won several close U.S. House races in California as late mail ballots erased Election Night GOP leads. The same thing happened in an Arizona Senate race, and Democrats made significant post-election-day gains in Florida and Georgia gubernatorial races as well, though falling short of victory."

 

"But, supposedly the restaurants and luxury hotel took more than a dozen PPP loans from the U.S. small business relief program for as much as $28 million, according to government filings"

Lolz, and DeNiro is a libtard

DeNiro says fuck Trump, so honest are his Principles, he takes $28 million thanks to the Trump administration

 

Actually I have a great deal of respect for Robert De Niro and he’s very outspoken when it comes to Donald Trump, so naturally defenders of Trump will come after him over any small thing.

Divorces can get nasty

 

In the latest poll Sen.Susan Collins of Maine is down by 7 points to her Democratic rival so it's understandable she's hoping for a last minute surge.

 

Gouging $28 Million in covid loans is one small thing is it?

The guy is sooo full of shit

 

In some states. like Georgia, Democrats are the ones voting early.

fixed

 

Not yet sure I agree with doing that. It's a slippery slope.
I favor granting statehood to DC.
