"I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business," Trump wrote in a series of tweets Tuesday afternoon.

Cheeto is gonna face a pile of legal trouble when he is no longer POTUS. I am really hoping that the New York Attorney General can nail him for tax evasion in relation to his real estate business.

Top White House aide Stephen Miller tests positive for Covid-19

Quote:
This month, Stephen Miller, the extremist anti-immigrant Trump adviser who has promoted white nationalist ideas, lost a relative to the coronavirus pandemic, and his uncle tells Mother Jones that the Trump administration is partly to blame for this death.

This is categorically false, and a disgusting use of so-called journalism when the family deserves privacy to mourn the loss of a loved one. His grandmother did not pass away from COVID. She was diagnosed with COVID in March and passed away in July so that timeline does not add up at all. His grandmother died peacefully in her sleep from old age. I would hope that you would choose not to go down this road.

Glosser, a former health professional, posted his mother’s death announcement on a public Facebook page. Responding to the White House statement, he writes in an email, “Keeping the tragic facts about COVID deaths of our countrymen and women, young and old, from the American public serves no purpose other than to obscure the need for a coherent national, scientifically based, public health response to save others from this disease. My mother led a long, satisfying, productive life of family and community service. She had nothing to be ashamed of, and concealing her cause of death to offer ‘privacy’ to me, our family, her hundreds of relatives and friends, does nothing to assuage our regret at her loss.”

Moreover, Ruth Glosser’s death certificate—which her son shared with Mother Jones—lists her cause of death as “respiratory arrest” resulting from “COVID-19.”

Trump thread 2.0

Is anyone watching the Kamala Harris and Pence debate??

Oh my, a fly flew on to Pence’s hair. It was stuck on his head.

-just goes to prove that flies love shit.



This is gonna be a new meme.

Sleepy Joe is quick to use the fly for his Twitter account:

Not exactly the same. The ones here in BC are "campaign promises".

The one that Trump did, a bill has already passed by congress, though will not pass the senate in its current form, and they were already in the middle of negotiating with Trump's team in making amendments so it would pass in the senate, BUT then he ordered his team to stop talking immediately and then say no further talks until the election, and only if he wins.

Does that sound like the same thing?

Maybe if house dems took the $1.6t stimulus offer for actual covid related aid rather than stonewalling for their pet projects, checks would be in the mail.
But no, democrats should get anything and everything their hearts desire... Because coronavirus.

The Biden-Harris campaign got a big boost in donations thanks to that fly on Pence's hair during the debate.

The campaign just sold out 35 thousand fly swatters at $10 US each.

350 grand US in campaign donations.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/08/busin...rnd/index.html

ETSY is lit now with T-shirts and other stuff about the fly on Pence.

Trump is bailing on the next debate, since they won't let him be there in person, so they're turning it into a virtual town hall meeting with Biden


Have we ever seen a presidential candidate THROW in a campaign before?

-felt absolutely disgusted after reading this CNN article about 13 militia group members who plotted to kidnap the Michigan state governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Domestic terrorists! It takes a special kind of evil men to think of a detailed plan to kidnap any person let alone a US state governor.

Do these militia morons not realize their rhetoric and actions to “defend the constitution” (not sure why it needs defending as if it’s a mortal being anyway...) are IDENTICAL to radical muslims misinterpreting the Quran????

Back in the 90s there was a lot of discussion about the role of private American militias not under the oversight of the United States Department of Defense.

There were problems like Ruby Ridge, the Branch Davidians, and the Oklahoma City Bombing. They had a few commonalities.

1 - Groups or persons who rejected the authority of the US government
2 - An unhealthy suspicion of the government
3 - They take up arms/amass weapons to fight the "big gubmint" or for "proteshun"
4 - "Master Race"

The Michigan Militia in particular became prominent because of its association with Timothy McVeigh (of the earlier mentioned Oklahoma City Bombing) and the perceived association with White Nationalism.

There are legal entanglements that are involved with constitutional rights, states rights, blah blah blah that make groups like this
Spoiler!
legal so they are tolerated until shit like this happens. Then there is a conversation, people with more gravy than blood in their veins scream about "Free Speech" and "Second Amendment" blah blah blah. Then it quiets down, everyone forgets about it, and nothing is really solved.

These people will never go away. They believe they are right and will wait for their moment to "strike" at the government, just as we saw in the recent news cycle.

And don't think those kinds of people are limited to 'murica. They're in Canada too.
