Everyday Treasoning: Sweet Release (The Terason Thread, Part 39)

Link to previous thread for reference.

Pres Bone Spurs seems to have stepped in it in a way he hasn’t before. That Proud Boys endorsement has turned off some of his softer support. Internal polls are brutal for him and republicans. I imagine they’ll be off a cliff after that “debate.”

[quote] I imagine they’ll be off a cliff after that “debate.”

Pics please

FCI/r2, can you go into a little bit of detail on the internal numbers and how they’ve changed, and what they mean? We are all familiar with external polls, but this stuff is incredibly scientific and much more accurate than external polls like Monmouth. I think it will help people better understand where the race is actually at. Thanks!

Are we going to talk about the neurostimulator Dotard had attached to his head last night?

[quote]I'm asking it here, [R579].

And apparently here as well r5.

Yes, I am, R6. New thread. Deal with it.

R5 his supporters don't care. They'll come up with some weird ass excuse like his brain is just so powerful since he is the smartest man alive that Scientists wanted to measure just how much brain activity he uses because it's off the charts and never been seen before!

He wears diapers and fucks Ivanka.

Buttfuck Mitch

So what is that apparatus used for?

To keep him alert?

To keep him from stroking out?

The Collapse

I'm smart...

R11, it's the clip-in part of a hair extension. Disgusting.

I saw on twitter some professional hair lady saying that that didn’t look like any hair styling apparatus.

You said it, sister!

It's not a hair styling apparatus. It's clearly a neurostimulator. Didn't he just have a visit to the hospital not too long ago? Wasn't the rumor that he had a stroke?

Are those that proclaim to love the military acting upset that Dotard responded to Biden saying those that died in Iraq were heroes with, "are they?"

I don't know the Proud Boys. Never heard of them. Even though I told them to stand by, I don't know who they are!

Wow DL is hopping today! Did something happen? Seriously, can someone post the links to the discussion of Dump’s metal plate? A search reveals nothing, and I want to post my opinion!

This may or may not be relevant to anything, but I thought I'd post it here:

Ukraine is investigating the murder of a US Embassy employee who was killed while jogging in Kyiv

R4 I don’t get a lot of details. People know I post here. This thread is and has been popular among some people high up in govt and campaigns. I’ve said that before. I had told my DC friends and they said the Treason/Mueller threads were very popular due to the quality of discourse. (Notice trolls stay out of this thread). Because of this, I don’t get told a lot of details (except from one person). The biggest scoop I got was impeachment which I spilled the night before.

Back to internals- they are the gold standard. Campaigns pay huge bucks to get highly accurate data. Can they be off? Of course, but rarely. You see the campaign pulling TV from a lot of markets like AZ, MI, even OH someone reported. I was told the internals were the worst they had ever seen in decades. I was told AK, TX, GA, KS, MT, IA were very much in play. Someone here predicted a surprise Sen win for a Dem. I think it’s looking favorably. Possibly (fingers crossed) it looks to be Cornyn. A lot can happen but vote, get others to register and vote, spread the word. I want a tsunami blowout.

Cornyn is awful. I'd love to see him go.

R22 Sometimes I have grammar mistakes like using “got” instead of “received” but that’s my Texas coming out in me. Or I get lazy.

Thanks, FCI/r22!

R29 She’s fighting for her place as a lobbyist now.

Susan Collins IS the both sides troll!

Biden has pulled within a point of Trump, in South Carolina of all places. Jamie Harrison is even or a point above Miss Lindsey. She's on show after show on Fox nightly and on weekends. She can't face a gathering in SC unless it is carefully structured and attendance is by invitation.

The Murdochs must really adore Lindsey.

The "both sides" crap is really irritating. There is no contest. A vote for trump is a vote to destroy our democracy. Biden may not be perfect but he's all we have right now to lead us out of the darkness. He will surround himself with the best and the brightest, true patriots and experts who actually believe in democracy. Biden will carry the torch and we will be the team.

I can't wait to wash the stink of trump out of our government.

r33, well said.

Whataboutism is all they have and it’s a tried and true strategy for republicans. When you can’t sell voters on your ideas or policies, you whatabout everything to death.

It was in MN tonight and attacked Ilhan Omar relentlessly. Totally devoid of shame.

[quote] Trump spent over $10k on FB ads alone since yesterday demonizing Somali refugees, before the ads were removed for violations.

Yes, but I feel it's the easiest thing to ignore.

Here I go saying we should ignore the trolls but I have to admit that I love it every single time one of our real Dataloungers takes down one of those annoying nazi infiltrators.

I guess racism and pandering to the Proud Boys is all they have left

I should clarify- I told my friends in DC about this place and how we had brilliant posters in the Treason/Mueller thread, in particular. Some of them checked this place out and were impressed (and amused) at this little site. Many of them were impressed enough to spread the word.

I need to stop multitasking while posting.

Trump is Treason

[quote]“The interrupting on both sides, the name-calling was very unbecoming for a presidential debate.”

Unbecoming? Does the woman never look in a mirror?

I am so frustrated....here's what happened. What nobody is talking about...

In Sept 2016, the Trump campaign contracted with Russia to hack U. S. voting machines. To make Trump's surprise win more believable, they sent Comey out to announce a fake re-investigation of Hillary. That way they could say her loss was a result of this last minute bad news for her.

Most intelligence professionals claimed they didn't think the hacking was successful. But Harry Reid , the senate minority leader in 2016 , told writer David Shimer there’s “no question” Moscow changed the outcome. “The Russians manipulated the votes. It’s that simple,” he declared.

The Trump administration did nothing to combat our voting system. Not out of incompetence, deliberate! They deliberately left us wide open so that Russia can do it again. Oh yeah, AND they've improved their methods. ...

Remember, EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES IS PROJECTION. He accused Joe Biden of being a pedo. Why? Because Trump is the one who raped a 13yr old girl. Why is Trump claiming our Mail-in voting system is rigged? Because it's not! Because he knows our Voting MACHINES are - they can be hacked and will be hacked - in his favor! Russia can only change your vote if you vote at the polls, or, you know, it's cool if you don't vote at all.

There is more than enough evidence this is happening. Why isn't it out there? Why isn't Anderson Cooper reporting it? Or Rachel? Or Lawrence? Does he really not know? C'mon, who hates Trump more than Lawrence O'Donnell? He'd report this even if he didn't think it true.

I don't get it!!!!

Here is a link supporting at least one of my statements...

[quote]The Trump administration did nothing to combat our voting system.

I beg to disagree.

FCI do you know if through the regular bureaucratic mechanisms the Democratic Senators can delay the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett until after the election?

If yes, and the election goes well, could the House then quickly send article of Impeachment up to the Senate? (And then more articles as needed?) Could the Senate be tied up in trials until the new Senate is seated?

R47 Hey ElderLez- I do believe Nancy has said she has some tools to use. Impeachment is one. It’s risky. It would look incredibly partisan at this point. House Dems in close races would likely have their re-election chances hurt.

Senate Dems have little power to stop this on their side-that I know of.

I’m afraid she’ll be confirmed but we can add seats to the SC provided we get enough of a cushion in the Senate.

Remember, internal polls look brutal for republicans- worst in decades. I’m seeing ads for candidates in Texas I’ve never seen before. That tells me polls for down ballot races here are tight.

agreed it wouldn’t make sense before the election.

The neurostimulator meme is 4chan stuff. For one thing, they're used for chronic pain, not to improve cognition. Second, it wouldn't be on his head, it would be just above his ass, according to Johns Hopkins.

r48 FCI - always enjoy reading your insights. Now that it's Oct, any insider thought or "word in your circle" re: what a potential October surprise instigated by Trump et al, would be?

I agree, r50. My only other thought besides hair tape is some kind of medical thing to prevent strokes. Any doctor out there want to chime in? Hair tape is usually clear, not shiny, so I’m interested in what others think.

Sorry, but Pelosi needs to have Impeachment Articles ready to go...especially on the outside chance that Trump wins. The new Senate takes office WEEKS before the inauguration. You have to be prepared to beat them at their own game. I have no doubts that Russia will alter the vote totals again like they did in 2016...AND YES, THEY ALTERED THE VOTES. Reality Winner was rushed off to prison (no bail pending trial) for exposing it....and she still sits there today.

r52...its obvious...its an audio piece...thats why Trump et al made such a big deal of Biden supposedly wearing one for the debate.

Focus Group

Well, r50, wouldn't it be just like him to *not* follow directions?

How did I not see this before?

Did he forget she was with him because it's her, "double?" ha.

So MANY things to remember, r57!

Trump fans sure like to project. They're falsely attributing a "I want to take away your guns" type quote to Kamala Harris, when it was actually Trump who said it. Oops!

Lady G and her Russian disinformation.

[[quote]In other words, Republicans spent a five-hour hearing Wednesday haranguing the FBI for advancing possible Russian disinformation, while busily doing the same thing themselves.

Ratcliffe is a gentleman caller of the utmost standards.

R48/FCI riddle me this - if the internals are so brutal, why in the hell aren't these idiots distancing themselves from this traitor? They seem to be more determined than ever to die a horrible death.

Not that I care. These assholes have been all in on their bigotry, racism and mysogyny for the last 30 years. Now they can die by it.

R62, I'm not FCI, but I've often thought about this. It's possible that the people who still work for Trump know that by now they have no future even if they do jump ship. It's too late; they're trash. There's also the Sunk Cost Fallacy, which is to say, they've put so much time, effort and money into Trump and everything that he represents that they cannot bring themselves to accept that it was all for nothing.

R51 There’s a lot of speculation but nothing we would be privy to. They will have sn October surprise there is no doubt. It’ll be a huge lie and Barr will be behind it.

R62 Easy. They have a chance to win. A chance. Some races are close like IA and SC. They piss off those hard core 37% and they’re toast. This is the dilemma for republicans. They’re stuck with exciting this newly awakened rabid base. They go back to boring republicans the base will sit it out. That would be devastating for a party which is already shrinking.

Hope Hicks has tested positive for Covid... and yet again, Dotard has not.

Amazing.

Now Dotard has to go into "quarantine." Maybe it is all a hoax!!! A hoax so Dotard doesn't have to do the next debate.

He trashed Biden for wearing a mask at the debates....lol

How do Deplorables justify Dotard quarantining if it's all a hoax?

Does he have COVID-19? He supposedly already had it. The bad debate, white supremacy backlash, Melanie tapes. Hmmmm. Distraction? He could pull a Jairo (or however you spell that Nazi’s name) and say he had no symptoms which makes him tough.

This quarantine is nothing but a distraction. How many times has someone been around Dotard and been diagnosed with Covid and he hasn't quarantined?

Is the only difference that he's fucking Hope?

Confirmed: Trump and Melania have Covid-19.

Ho-ly shit.

It's weird that I don't believe it. Like, I feel like it's a lie to either distract all the shit that just came out and the debate or they're using it to try to get sympathy for votes.

Impeach Pence

Trump Expires

Nancy becomes first female POTUS

Smooth Transition for Biden

October Surprise!!!

I don't believe it, either, r72.

He lies about everything. This is just another distraction.

If he really does have COVID I hope it doesn't kill him because then the conspiracy theorists will be saying he was murdered and we'll NEVER hear the end of it.

Bill Barr must be stress eatng. His coup d'etat scheme keeps hiting roadblocks.

Wasn't Kimberly Guilfoyle an early spreader?

Dunno about early r78, but man, that bitch sure can spread!

The WH leaks like a sieve. If Trump is lying, I don't see how he would be able to keep things under wraps for more than a day. Besides, his getting the virus emphasizes his response to it, the one subject Trump desperately wants to avoid talking about. His campaign message, after all, is "it's over, we won." Every time some one mentioned COVID-19 during the debate he went berserk and tried to change the subject.

I'm worried about all those people who attended the debate. I know there was social distancing on stage, but what about in the audience? His stupid family didn't wear masks.

The most fucking irresponsible person ever. So many deaths directly because of his extreme incompetence and sociopathy.

Thank goodness he can’t hold those rallies in WI, those events would have infected a ton Of people.

Yup, I believe he has it. As someone upthread said, his whole re-election strategy hinges on Covid being over. In fact, if he were asymptomatic, I bet he would have tried to hide his diagnosis totally. Because he has symptoms, he can’t hide it.

[quote] What's happening is clear. American intel agencies, that are supposed to be totally apolitical, have been folded into Trump's campaign.

[quote] They are keeping info about Russian interference hidden, and overhyping info about China and Iran helping Biden.

Miss Lindz weighs in.

Lindsey 🐞 🐞 🐞:

[quote]Talked to Senator Lee earlier today and wished him a speedy recovery. Look forward to welcoming him back to the @senjudiciary to proceed with the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barret on October 12.

So, did Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) pick up his COVID infection at the WH?

Either that or he spread it there.

[quote] I read it too @justinamash , it's a non-binding resolution that condemns a dangerous digital cult that is destroying people's lives.

People are claiming that Amy will have to quarantine for 14 days and that she also met with Senators who will now also have to quarantine for 14 days and because of that there's now no way it can go through before the election.

Is that just wishful thinking?

When Trump claimed he was going to drain the swamp, I didn't realize he meant to do it by giving them all Covid.

Can't the Senators just kiss her Christian whackjob ass on Zoom?

Why were Trump and Pence speaking from different podiums spaced far apart on Sep. 28? Has he known since then that he had Covid?

I think that's just ego, R110.

(Not that they really care but) wouldn't it be against protocol for Pence to speak from behind the POTUS emblem? Mikey got shunted to the kids table so 45 could look presidential instead of having to speak from behind the White House emblem.

So its starting to look more and more like the Amy Coney Barrett event was ground zero for this outbreak

Chris Wallace just did an interview stating both parties agreed to be tested at the debate but Orange's team did not show up on time... by the time they got there it was too late to be tested so they did the "honor system," with him and trusted him when he said he had been tested negative.

They've taken our time, and our peace of mind, and our friendships, and our faith that we live in an orderly, democratic country of good and decent people.

And now through their own pig ignorant carelessness these amoral ghouls have plunged the country even deeper into uncertainty by risking their own lives and the lives of thousands of people who come into contact with them.

Lindsey and the Proud Boy

Notice Home Ec major & ex-beauty queen, Marsha Blackburn, is a major Trump surrogate? She tested negative yesterday.

Will she be heading to SC to campaign for Lindsey? She's on the Senate Judiciary Committee with Lindsey.

Steve Schmidt for Project Lincoln:

We are hearing from many sources within the Trump campaign about the fear and panic in the ranks. Staffers are scared. Some are terrified. They know the walls are crumbling. Some like Miller and Meadows are irredeemable and will face history’s brutal judgement.

Old friends, you came to Washington, most of you with idealism in your hearts and a love of country and her people. Look what’s happened. It’s not too late. We will protect your confidentiality. What is happening inside? Is there talk of inciting fascist militia’s like the proud boys? Is there talk of proclaiming illegitimate victory? Is there talk of illegal voter suppression? It is not too late to do right.

Remember all you had to do, once upon a time was be in the Resistance by midnight on June 6, 1944. The time to act is now. Reach out. We will protect you. What are you seeing in the inside. We know about the mutiny tonight. So many of you are working from home now. No one is watching. Slow it down.

Do no more damage. Incite no more racial animus. Incite no more violence and insanity. Be complicit in no more lies. Look at the monuments in Washington. Remember what they stand for. We are your friends. The American people are your friends. Hurt us all no more. Help us end this. Reach out to us.

Be Patriots in this hour of crisis. It is your next act that will be remembered. Trump will ask more of you. If you do as he asks there will be no place to return from. Infamy will linger forever around your names. It is America or Trump in the final analysis. It is time to come home. T

he sickness is spreading among you because Trump doesn’t care about you. His recklessness has put your families in danger as he has put all Americans in danger. Help us end this nightmare.

"Miss Senatrice and her proud boys" are a big drop-down from the "proper lady and her gentleman callers".

Sen Ron Johnson, Putin asset, also tests positive.

He looks like an old drunk.

He has Children of the Damned eyes.

There are a big bunch of sleazy, deplorable Senators. Ron Johnson takes the cake. Wisconsin is a weird state.

Yes, Johnson's connection to Putin should be under scrutiny.

Ron Johnson tested positive for Covid.

^ he has tweeted that he misspoke and is actually negative!

Rick Scott is the one who misspoke. Ron Johnson is positive.

Krispy Kreme is positive.

I'm on a roll!

Masque of the Red Death, only much, much trashier.

When does Rudy announce he is positive?

Trump was wearing an oxygen tube under his mask on his walk to the helicopter, right? They keep showing the clip on MSNBC and I swear you can see it, right under the strap.

The tweet below has 3 images of Trump walking to M1, with possibly a small O2 canister in his jacket pocket, something that looks like a tube running up his back under his jacket, and what looks like a small tube at the back of his neck, and then running under his mask.

Note to Schumer: here is what McConnell would do if situation reversed. 53 D’s, 5 or more quarantined. Keep Senate in session, bring in all Rs, replace you as leader, change committee chairs, direct Sergeant at arms to bar entry to any with Covid, reject SCt nominee. Just sayin.

r133, that's Franklin Graham behind Kellyanne and Barr! Fingers crossed.

Steve Schmidt smacks down Stephen Miller

With Three Senators testing positive for Covid... if they lose one more they won't have quorum to conduct business.

That's assuming they'll actually quarantine.

James Harrison brought his own plexiglass to his debate with Lady G.

And a great debate it was, R160.

Harrison is not quite as smooth a talker as Graham. But most of what the Senator had in his quiver was paste he used to attempt to stick his opponent to the usual boogymen of the RADICAL LEFT. Unfortunately, he did have the incumbent's advantage. On the other hand, every time he pulled that out, Harrison would return volley basically calling him on out as a do-nothing, bench warmer.

TBH: they were both prepared and able to discuss policy. Graham is a better orator but he looked nervous and sweaty and anxious. Harrison looked composed and confident.

Harrison should have mentioned Graham's, "Lady Bugs."

Treason Bump!

R163 Are you saying those aren’t lady bugs?

They are Treasonous ladybug bumps, damn it!

Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman commented on twitter: Just watched Trump hospital video a second time. His breathing is clearly labored. He seems to be leaning on table for support. And there’s so much fear in his eyes.

Trump's rich friend died of Covid, so that has to be playing with his head.

Totally.

Trump is lucky there are no gods.

Shocker.... Dotard's financial disclosures from 2017 and 2018 reveal he has a financial stake in the experimental drugs they claim he took.

He should tear down the White House and have it rebuilt from scratch. I'm totally serious. Aside from the Trump Administration completely trashing it in oh so many ways, it is now a hot room of Covid infection. IF this election should all work out, this could be one of the first steps towards healing this nation.

So Dotard walks out of the hospital to, "recover at home."

More and more I'm thinking it's possible he just faked the whole thing. According to several Doctors the medication he was on is only prescribed when conditions are severe and he wouldn't be healthy enough to go around waving to his cultists or walk out of there as if nothing was wrong.

Why is everyone flipping out Eric sitting down with NY Investiagors?

Despite his testimony not being made available people are acting like it means he flipped on the family. Why?

I’m sure Eric will do the right thing. You can always count on the Trumps to be fair-minded, pragmatic and truthful. And strong-chinned, of course.

Exactly. It's like people have fucking amnesia as to who these people are.

Someone earlier posted

[ "..... the administration doesn't want anyone to figure out that Trump had COVID earlier than thought. (Before the Saturday Rose Garden massacre.) He had it earlier, somehow carried on, but kept it secret. Just like he is telling people to do now. "]

Reportedly, Trump gets tested every day, sometimes more than once. "Reportedly" being the operative word.

I suspect otherwise. He can't be bothered. The only thing he allows up his nose is Adderall, (allegedly). Therefore, his medics can't release evidence of his last negative test, because they don't have any. Nobody really knows when he was last tested..... Just like we've been led to believe Trump has been paying taxes for the last 10 years, same thing with his testing.

He probably has had Covid for at least 10 days or more, and only last week started showing symptoms. He not only went into the debate contagious, but the Rose Garden Party as well.

Claudia Conway is trending on Twitter again and people are constantly hailing her as some kind of hero and calling her things like, "The Girl that will save America."

Anyone else think she's full of shit and playing a game along with her parents?

For instance she just went Live on Tik Tok and KellyAnne came into the room supposedly not knowing the camera was on. She started saying all this gibberish like nobody was sick, etc. etc. and then "noticed," the camera was on and reached and grabbed it and turned it off.

Claudia reappeared a few minutes later with KellyAnne nowhere in sight.

Shit like that seems so obviously staged and yet everyone seems to believe it's legit.

Well, Claudia may have better sources than CNN. Tune-in to Claudia on Tik Tok to really know what's going on with Trump.

Gov. Ayers and gang have ramped-up voter suppression in Texas. In Harris County (Houston), all but one drop boxes have been removed.

^Gov. Abbott

If Trump is as okay as he claims to be, then Biden needs to restore the negative ads. And the next debate should go on as planned. And I look forward to his next three hour rally speech.

Abbott, deSantis, and Kemp are practitioners of voter suppression. There are others.

[quote]And I look forward to his next three hour rally speech.

SO DO I!

As long as I don't have to listen to it. Or watch it. Or hear about except if it's to say what an amazing shitshow it was.

Trump is in a manic state (even more so than usual) from Steroids.

You should bottle that shit r207. Xmas is coming up.

I was just thinking today, once Trump loses in November who the hell would want to keep working in the White House until January 20th? Especially if Covid is still spreading among the staff. This country might be rudderless come November. Trump won't give a shit any longer every one else will be trying to clean up their resumes from the last four years. Stephen Miller, Jared and Ivanka will be the only people who stick around, everyone else will leave or just stop showing up and hope they can still pull a paycheck for a couple of months because no one notices they aren't showing up to work. Will the country be better off with no one there instead of these grifters?

r209...every day hes in office, is another day he can pilfer more money from our coffers.

What does Amy Barrett embrace that would displease a fascist?

Stephen Miller tests positive.

I don't care about Miller. He's skinny and will easily dodge the reaper. It's Christie and Barr's progress I'm interested in.

Republicans are going for herd immunity. Members of Congress are fully on board. Well, all the republicans members of Congress, that is.

Y’all- internals have dropped through the floor for republicans. Cornyn is very concerned. Texas is very, very much in play. Dare I say it’s looking to turn blue.

Is that you, FCI?

R215 Yes

Biden says they should not debate again if Orange is still sick.

This of course will make Rethugs spin it that Joe is trembling and afraid of getting demolished "again."

[quote]Republicans are going for herd immunity

Herd immunity and an end to coverage of pre-existing conditions. That’s billions they won’t have to pay out to dead seniors and even more added to the bottom lines of health insurance CEOs who donate to Republican campaigns.

R214, I assumed that the confiscation of ballot drop-off boxes in Texas was a huge tip-off. If they’re worried about *Texas* what does that say?

Yeah, that was my first thought on hearing that news, R219. They are terrified of losing to the Dems. In. Texas.

If Texas goes blue, the Rethugs will never get it back.

Interesting ... the Justice Dept. will hold a press conference on “a matter of national security” tomorrow.

R222, cool. Maybe it's a mutiny!

Hmmm r222, could this be Barr’s October surprise? Maybe they moved it up considering how Dump is tanking in the polls. If it has anything to do with Biden, it will fail spectacularly. People haven’t forgotten how we were fucked by Comey’s surprise.

Are they arresting Trump for Public Endangerment?

tik-tok covid.

Just guessing, but the press conference could be about cyber security.

R219 Right! Why would Gov. Front Parking do that?

I’m not saying I saw internal polling in Texas *ahem* but I’ve heard, people are saying it’s close to gone. It will depend on turnout.

R228 is me.

R228/FCI, that would be epic. I’m fantasizing about it right now!

DIdn't they already release something about how they are cracking down on election hacking both from outside and inside the country?

The skeptic in me feels like this is another one of those things which on the surface seems like it's for our benefit but is just some other way they're going to steal it.

I've been avoiding cable news because I get so upset by what's going on and I cannot stand looking at or listening to ScumTrump.

Todays I broke down and watched Maddow and then O'Donnell and was reminded by how much I despise the look of trump's thumbs when he does a thumbs up. I would like to give them a wrench before socking him in the face. I loathe his creepy, freaky thumbs.

So, Trump is trying to blackmail the nation into voting for him in order to get Covid aid? I don't think he's thought that one through....

His tweeting is next level bat shit tonight. I love it.

He's already reversed course and is now on Twitter saying he will happily sign a standalone bill and @ed Pelosi. Obvs a ploy to make it look like Dems are the ones holding it up.

And of course Dems care about optics so much they might try to fucking do it and he'll walk away right before the election saying he gave everyone money!

R241 Like most narcissists, he will burn it all down. He’s pissed at his supporters bailing on him so he’s going to do the most damage to them.

He’s going to execute the plan covered in the Atlantic two weeks ago.

So am I reading that right? The only way to circumvent this is for the Left to hang on to the house and win the Senate?

Which means Rethugs are definitely going to fuck with the Senate elections.

The Lincoln Project is playing to the DL demographic now.

Y’all, I never knew I had my own thread from a hater. I feel so special.

[quote]The only way to circumvent this is for the Left to hang on to the house and win the Senate?

Actually the House Dems need to up the number of state delegations they control, i.e. win more seats. It's because the House vote in the doomsday scenario is by state delegation where each get one vote.

[quote]Pelosi, in a Sunday letter to House Democrats, urged them to consider whether the House might be pulled into deciding who is president when determining where to focus resources on winning seats in November. This could lead to more concerted efforts by Democrats to win in states such as Montana and Alaska — typically Republican turf but where Democrats have been competitive statewide. In these states, Democratic victories could flip an entire delegation with a single upset House victory.

[quote]“The Constitution says that a candidate must receive a majority of the state delegations to win,” Pelosi wrote. “We must achieve that majority of delegations or keep the Republicans from doing so.”

[quote] But according to an email sent Friday by an official in the Public Integrity Section in Washington, now if a U.S. attorney’s office suspects election fraud that involves postal workers or military employees, federal investigators will be allowed to take public investigative steps before the polls close, even if those actions risk affecting the outcome of the election.

[quote] Specifically citing postal workers and military employees is noteworthy, former DOJ officials said. But the exception is written so broadly that it could cover other types of investigations as well

[quote] Justin Levitt, a former deputy assistant attorney general in the DOJ’s civil rights division, also expressed concern that the department could be encouraging prosecutors to make more public announcements about incomplete investigations, as they did in the Pennsylvania case. “It alarms me that the DOJ would want to authorize more of the same in and around the election,” he said. “It’s incredibly painful for me to say, but given what we’ve seen recently, Americans shouldn’t trust DOJ announcements right now.”

The wedding & event consultant probably does funerals. She's well-connected.

Oops, missed earlier reports on this.

Checked too soon before posting.

A federal judge in California has ordered that Twitter reveal the identity of an anonymous user who allegedly fabricated an FBI document to spread a conspiracy theory about the killing of Seth Rich, the Democratic National Committee staffer who died in 2016.

The ruling could lead to the identification of the person behind the Twitter name @whyspertech. Through that account, the user allegedly provided forged FBI materials to Fox News. The documents falsely linked Rich's killing to the Wikileaks hack of Democratic party emails in the lead up to the 2016 election.

R275 And that user has been identified. His name is Sean Hannity.

Not sure if posted: from CNN (can't link)

The Justice Department said Wednesday that it "inadvertently" altered documents that it recently submitted to a federal court as part of its ongoing effort to dismiss the criminal case against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.

At the request of Attorney General William Barr, federal prosecutors began reviewing the Flynn case earlier this year and have been sharing internal FBI and Justice Department documents with Flynn's lawyers. After a recent batch of handwritten notes were released, two former FBI officials wrote to the court saying that their notes contained dates and markings that were not authentic.

Useless fossil Steve Chabot is crying because kate Schroeder is running "mean" ads against him pointing out that in 2018 he couldn't name his campaign manager NOR account for over $100,000 that went "missing" from his campaign.

Every last GOP prick needs cunt punted into deep space. They're just useless eaters.

Their usual “Dems are socialist, tax and spenders” bullshit is not working anymore. Republicans have finally been seen as the party of nothing. No real ideas. Nothing for anybody but huge business and the very rich. People yawn at their tired talking points.

Breaking on MSNBC: Next presidential debate will be remote/virtual

But but we don’t know how to adapt to a pandemic! It has to be in person!

If Trump is losing outright on election night, won’t the strategies to suppress counting mail in votes have to be abandoned? Won’t they need to “count every vote” in that case?

Just the republican ones r288.

I love you R289.

Let's share a piece of spaghetti r290.

Trump is saying he won’t participate in a virtual debate.

Oh...you...

No virtual. No virtual. Waste of time. They come to me with tears in their eyes. Blood. Sweat. Eyes. Tears. One of them comes to me with blood in his eye. Blood coming out of his whatever. Crying like bitches. They say, 'Mr. President, sir. Sir, we long to breathe the same air as you, sir. Mr. President, we would be honoured if we could catch a hot load, sir. Please, Mr. President, sir, no virtual. Please, sir. Please'. No virtual. Trump doesn't do virtual. Waste of time.

90 minutes of Trump free airtime for Joe.

R295, that’s what I said. We can listen to Joe in peace and quiet! Also, I go back and forth about whether Dump will cave and participate. I can’t see him allowing Joe that much free time on the air. But I also think he knows it’s a disaster for him. He won’t be able to interrupt, which is all he had the last debate.

I think he'll do it. Maybe they've convinced him — for now — not to, but without his daily rallies and weekend golf he's going to be bored out of his mind by then. All it will take is Biden saying he's afraid to debate him a second time and, aided by his new newly acquired Dexamethasone superpowers, he'll fall right into the trap.

A Datalounge ewww!

Did the fly come out of there?

Oh my, the fly!

So why hasn't Christie received the antibody cocktail? Heck, why hasn't Melania?

The GOP is cooking something up. Between Trump and Pence refusing to commit to a peaceful transition of power, rushing a Supreme Court nominee when they could just wait until the lame duck, the seeming lack of any type of care from the trump campaign that he’s down 10 points 3 weeks before the election, Mike Lee going off on twitter about how America is “not a democracy.” They’re up to something. We can combat it by showing up in huge numbers but I am very fearful for the next 3 months. It’s not going to be pretty.

The top five craziest moments from Trump's unhinged Fox Business call-in

Six men charged in alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

The FBI was apparently well aware of the activities of the men charged Thursday and there does not seem to have been an imminent threat posed to the governor.

"We were just following President Trump's order to liberate Michigan!"

Food banks across the United States are intercepting and removing a signed letter from President Donald Trump included in federal food aid.

In the letters, in English and Spanish on a White House letterhead, Trump gives himself credit for providing the enclosed food, Politico reported.

The letter also encourages people to wash their hands and promises “our Nation will emerge from this crisis stronger than ever before,” according to the publication.

They are included in U.S. Department of Agriculture coronavirus food aid to be distributed to hungry families from local food banks. But charities from Boston to San Francisco are pulling the letters out before delivering the food, despite USDA orders to the contrary.

How today would be covered if today happened somewhere else.

'Mother' says......

[quote]In a statement to USA TODAY Thursday, the second lady's spokesperson Kara D. Brooks said the maskless moment on stage was previously agreed upon by both sides. "Second Lady Karen followed an agreement established between both campaigns prior to the debate," the statement read. "Both sides agreed that the spouses would remove their masks when they walked onto the stage at the end of the debate."

"Both sides agreed that the spouses would remove their masks when they walked onto the stage at the end of the debate."

*

I'm not even gonna post the gif. But if any statement called for it...

R301, it's distraction. Keep everyone in a state of panic while they're doing even more heinous shit behind you rback.

How does it even make sense that they needed a "maskless" moment for the spouses? If they're going to go "maskless," for any point in time, they might as well have just not bothered for any of it.

And Pence is the one in charge of the Pandemic Taskforce?

Enact the 25th Amendment now.

DJT is totally unhinged.

He really does appear off the rails. I always thought most of it was just a dog whistle to his supporters, but if he’s dead serious, he needs to be removed ASAP. He has major delusional behavior going on there. I’d like to think that everyone is waiting for the stock market to close tomorrow before acting, but with this administration, who the hell knows.

It's more food for his crazed base. They literally believe in this October 10, "Red October," thing.

Reading through what they believe has been going on and is about to happen is disturbing. It's like they're living in a fever nightmare.

It’s nuts, r316. I remember arguing with some nut online last year about “red October”. Of course, it came and went with nothing.

[quote] They literally believe in this October 10, "Red October," thing.

What’s that?

Just for your google challenged self r318.

So is Mother Pence the only one claiming it was okay to be without a mask?

If there were to be a next time, they should make sure she's wearing panties. That fly did not help her husband.

And can you believe that old skank blamed it on Me? DOES SHE KNOW WHO I AM? Everyone knows I love Mike. That's why I put my panties in his coat pocket.

R318 they essentially believe things like Dotard was faking having covid so he could go on a top secret, "mission," yes, "mission," like he's fucking James Bond. The fruits of this mission will be revealed on Oct 10 when people like Biden, Obama, and of course Hillary, are all rounded up and arrested.

Their conspiracy went in so far as to say that the time stamp of his Tweet about having Covid and going into the hospital was code... a secret message to THEM. Something about it being 10/2 and the time stamp if you took the time and put it on a clock, the hands would be at 10 and 2... and counting the number of minutes there were 8.... and 10/2 plus 8 would equal 10/10!!!!!

Additionally, the last line of that tweet read, "TOGETHER," which was of course a signal that he was going to finally get Hillary because TO GET HER.

The sick thing about it is how they talk about it like they're in the know. They'll "hint" about what's "coming," but won't answer directly because only they are "in the know." It's such delusional smugness... I have to say it makes me go Susan Collins and I get very very "concerned."

Elliott Broidy, a former top Republican National Committee fundraiser, has agreed to plead guilty to violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, a person familiar with the plea agreement said.

Federal prosecutors in Washington, DC, on Thursday unsealed charges against Broidy, the owner of an investment fund and a defense intelligence company, for illegally lobbying the Trump administration to drop an investigation into the embezzlement and laundering of $4.4 billion from a Malaysian state investment fund known as 1MDB.

Adding on to what R321 wrote, a quick look at Twitter reveals that they believe a war is going to break out — military intelligence and Trump on one side vs. the CIA, FBI, and NSA on the other. You can guess who's going to win.

As a result, mass military tribunals are going to take place; the adrenochrome farms will be liberated; the Matrix will be crushed; those who have already entered 5D consciousness will be left and a new age of enlightenment will begin.

Also, JFK Jr. has been sending messages about this for a very long time. Yes, they are seriously posting the photo below as 'proof'.

And that's only from five minutes of reading Twitter! I can't even begin to imagine what's going on where they really discuss their theories.

Thank you for distilling that, R323.

JFK Jr,,,, HOW? I am fascinated! You'd think they'd pick a Republican, at least. That's the part I want to know more about, not because I believe, but because I cannot believe anyone would.

I forgot about that part... part of their conspiracy is that JFK Jr is still alive.

And let's not forget the others that believe Orange did get Covid BUT it was because Covid didn't really exist but Obama had scientists get in a lab and create a virus that was similar to Covid and then had someone put that virus on Orange's microphone, intentionally making him sick.

[quote]Hardcore Q believers think that JFK Jr. is not only alive and well, but also that he plans to emerge from his 20-year hiatus from public life by coming out and supporting Trump as his running mate in 2020. Moreover, they believe that a guy in Pittsburgh named Vincent Fusca is actually JFK Jr. in disguise, and they have made T-shirts promoting this belief. (Seriously. You can buy them on Amazon.)

The VP part didn't pan out but they have 1,001 explanations for that.

Holy funk. I don’t need to know people believe this shit.

That's the thing about these people that's terrifying. They believe in this shit wholeheartedly and when it doesn't pan out.. which it never does... they just make up excuses and jump to the next conspiracy that is going to happen, "for real." They just keep believing the person who keeps feeding them this shit and never once think about how the person telling them this is always wrong and therefore I dunno... they should stop believing him.

These are people who are accustomed to spreading BS, probably back to childhood religious bullshit. They know it's not true but they stick with it because it puts them on a team that might defeat another team. They are like cheerleaders and rodeo clowns.

And Trump will be the hill where they fail.

After this they'll either shut up or go full blown racist. I prefer they go racist enough to be shot on sight. Enough is enough.

Like the Wolverine Militia, QAnon wouldn't be what it was today if it hadn't been for Trump and co. deliberately engaging with and encouraging them.

So apparently Pence has cancelled his plans in Indiana and is headed back to the WH. Some are speculating that it's because he has Covid and others believe it has to do with invoking the 25th tomorrow.

REGENERON!

The media may have it all wrong. Lindsey fraternizing with the Proud Boys may not have been about politics; at least in part.

You'd be amazed at what some people would believe, r328...

Don’t get my hopes up, r332.

I'm looking forward to the MAGA Church Blues Brothers version.

"Do you see the light?"

"What light?"

Like you’ve seen and heard, there is much chatter about a temporary 25th amendment event tomorrow. The story might be blamed on doctors giving him too much of the steroid which is causing side effects. It’s all chatter but loud chatter.

If they did invoke the 25th we should be given Pence's medical write up. He's not fit either. Just cut straight to Nancy.

Republican operatives keep sending Marsha Blackburn out there and she embarrasses herself. On The View....

[quote]Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) may have thought she was going on The View to promote her new book The Mind of a Conservative Woman: Seeking the Best for Family and Country. Instead, she spent her entire appearance struggling to defend President Donald Trump. Blackburn began the interview by fawning over the “fantastic job” Vice President Mike Pence did in his debate against her Senate colleague Kamala Harris the night before. But she had a harder time defending Trump’s decision to bail on what the Commission on Presidential Debates decided on Thursday would be a virtual second debate with Joe Biden next week.

Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!

BWAHAHAHA

Oh dear Lord.

I just scrolled past Fox news and someone was saying that Democrats were at fault for an uprise in Covid at colleges... and that Democrats are trying to make people forget what life was like pre-Pandemic and that, "Keeping you home is keeping you helpless."

^^^So DESPERATE.

Mike Pompeo came late to our Christmas Eve mass in McLean, Va this past year and plopped his fat ass right at the end of our pew. My parents (who are Trump supporters) were enthralled, but I gave him several nasty looks - the kind where you sort of crumple up your nose and act like the person near you hasn’t bathed, but then quickly pretend to hide it and look away.

Fuck the repigs.

Good, R386. One of those counties that was allowed only one drop off box is the size of Rhode Island.

R387 ??? Some of those counties were the size of Utah

That's insane, R388. I wonder why the news show I heard talking about it used the Rhode Island example? Are you talking population or area? I was thinking driving distances as opposed to sheer numbers. Either way, the fuckers got taken down.

The Rhode Island thing was because they were talking about Harris County, where Houston is located. They didn’t say it’s the biggest country — it has Houston and it happens to be the size of RI.

LadyG is hiding something and refuses a COVID test.

Some men are concerned, says Susan.

Bill Barr's scheme for Trump failed.

Trump is angry with Barr.

Barr refused to quarantine. But he hasn't been seen on camera lately.

BREAKING: According to @JewishNewsUSA , @realDonaldTrump held a meeting this morning with senior campaign staff, legal advisors and his children to discuss his possible resignation. Resignation would be contingent on a pardon by Pence, and the dismissal of SDNY criminal charges.

Jewishnews??? Haha.

Wait, what? Serious?

So his NY state charges can’t be subject to pardon and he may still end up in jail.

If he and his spawn would agree to permanent exile in Russia, I’d rake him up on that offer.

jail for Trump would be plush. I would rather just see him lose his money and all the rest of them go to jail.

Literally none of them had coronavirus. They all went and hid because the lies would be obvious. Listen to Trump himself. He can’t even describe the symptoms because he never had it to begin with. Chris Christie is “out of the hospital he checked himself into” and says “I’ll have more to say about this next week. Melania is to stupid to lie well, so they are totally hiding her.

Melania is probably getting her tits or twat redone.

Maybe they aren't so much. They've been busy for weeks posting in the 'Golden Girls Inconsistencies' thread.

I' older R419. Everyone I know is traumatized, some talking of leaving the country if the diseased pile of shit "wins" again. I was among the marchers in SF the day after the 2017 inauguration. A friend formed a political group (of friends) and we marched in every nearby march for the rest of the year, sent emails, letters, etc to every representative we could but it soon became clear none of it helped.

It's been one outrage after another and I just don't see how it can continue any longer. The shit stain is ruining this country. I knew he was bad, but the immensity of his narcissism, evil, and greed is beyond anything I have seen, and the craven depravity of the repukes is laid bare like never before. I'm sick at heart but have hope that if Americans can get out the blue vote we can win. The damage he can do between the election and the inauguration is frightening. As former CIA Chief John Brennan has been saying, we're in a very dangerous period right now through January.

I think we will need a Datalounge poll to determine the veracity of this scurrilous claim.

Although I personally skew to the left.

If Trump could have resign, he would have long ago. As much as his narcissism feeds off the extras attention, he clearly hasn't been enjoying the non-performative duties of the president and avoids them whenever possible. He would have been much better off in every way.

Also, in this day and age, why are Supreme Court Justices lifetime appointments?

The founding fathers had no idea that we would be facing some of these things like Women's Rights, Gay and Trans Rights, etc. They also in no way expected judges to live well into their 70s and 80s.

Wouldn't it make much more sense for there to be term limits of say, 12 years, for Supreme Court Justices so that appointments would also be a part of voters being engaged in a Presidential election?

At least limit Supreme Court Judges to 18 years max and a mandatory retirement at age 75. That is generous.

Help me out, please..... My older brother turned 65 and moved to Florida, (near Sarasota), with his wife 3 years ago. He's never paid much attention to politics, but always voted Democratic like my Dad and the rest of us. But since moving, his wife suddenly started watching Fox and is now a Trump supporter. She's very influential with him, and I fear he might be slipping away. (She and I haven't spoken in 12 years. No falling out. But I live in CA, and she's always made me uncomfortable so I've avoided her). She claims they've paid the lowest in taxes the past 3 years under Trump. I believe that's because of Obama's policies still in effect, policies Trump is trying to destroy...... Can someone offer me a better explanation that I can pass on? I suspect my sister-in-law is a lost cause, but I want my brother to at least cancel out her vote. Thanks.

R454, 455. You guys aren't helping! I made him promise me he won't watch Fox with her, (he kind of hates watching the news, anyway). He can be partial to blonds, though so I made a point of telling him what a cunt Laura Ingraham is.

Aside from Trump, I'm concerned about a lot of these close Senate races is what are now called swing-states. (Arizona? Texas?). I don't trust their voting systems, which of course, are being managed by corrupt Republicans. I hope any Democrat who loses a close Senate race refuses to concede and calls for a full investigation. We already have evidence of mail tampering by the Republicans, and it's 3 weeks before election day.

Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court Confirmation Hearing Exposes Hypocrisy of Graham and McConnell

Kentucky must be the most 'offed up state in the country to not be voting for McGrath.

Watching the debate I couldn't decide if McConnell was more full of himself or more full of shit...

McGrath was insanely disciplined with her concise, informed, passionate and biting responses to every single question (usually coming in exactly at the allotted time). Not only did McTurtle never answer the question asked, not only did he deflect and repeatedly blame Pelosi for EVERYTHING wrong with the country, not only did he continually take the lazy way out and make almost every answer hackneyed, partisan tropes.... he actually used some of the same worn out and factually incorrect phrases as Graham last week (and probably Cornyn as well).

That this woman can't break through is painful.

That he represents ANYTHING American is even more odious.

Trump is lagging behind.

But he's getting ready to unleash his secret weapons.

President Trump told supporters in Florida on Monday night that he wanted to give all of them “a big fat kiss” after falsely insisting he has developed immunity against the coronavirus.

“I went through it and now they say I’m immune. I feel so powerful. I’ll walk in there, I’ll kiss everyone in that audience,” Trump said on stage in Sanford, Fla., during his first campaign rally since being diagnosed with the virus on Oct. 1. “I’ll kiss the guys and the beautiful women, just give you a big fat kiss.”

One of her better attacks:

You fags better let my dad kiss you!

R522 They have teeth?

The sharpest clash took place when Perdue dismissed Ossoff’s critiques of his pandemic response as little more than “Monday morning quarterbacking” and “idle chatter.”

“Senator, I’m astounded. It’s not idle chatter, senator. It’s 220,000 Americans killed by a virus,” said Ossoff, who runs a firm that makes investigative documentaries, adding: “And listen to you — schoolyard insults. Not a shred of empathy. Not a shred of personal responsibility.”

No matter the question, whether it involved school waivers or Barrett’s appointment, Perdue pivoted to call Ossoff as a “radical socialist agenda” — a variation of a charge Perdue used at least a half-dozen times. Ossoff, meanwhile, raced to paint his opponent as hopelessly disconnected from the “real world where people are suffering."

“This isn’t about Democrats versus Republicans and liberals versus conservatives,” the Democrat said. “It’s about the people of the United States against crooks like you in Washington, too busy enriching yourself in office.”

[quote] If you wanted me to be mad about foreign entanglements, you should have done something about Trump

Republican Sen. Ben Sasse excoriated President Trump in a telephone conference call with constituents this week, saying he had mishandled the coronavirus response, "kisses dictators' butts," "sells out our allies," spends "like a drunken sailor," mistreats women, and trash-talks evangelicals behind their backs.

Trump has "flirted with white supremacists," according to Sasse, and his family "treated the presidency like a business opportunity." He said Trump could drive the Senate into the hand of the Democrats and cause permanent damage to the Republican Party.

Sasse, a possible GOP candidate for president in 2024, is up for reelection on Nov. 3 and is expected to cruise to victory.

In an audio clip of the call, obtained by the Washington Examiner, a female constituent asks Sasse to explain “your relationship with the president” and wonders, “Why do you have to criticize him so much?”

...

Sasse fretted that Trump and his "stupid political obsessions" could drive the country further to the Left. “If young people become permanent Democrats because they've just been repulsed by the obsessive nature of our politics, or if women who were willing to still vote with the Republican Party in 2016 decide that they need to turn away from this party permanently in the future," Sasse said. "I've spent lots of the of the last year on a campaign bus, and when you listen to Nebraskans, they don't really want more rage tweeting as a new form of entertainment," he said. "I think the overwhelming reason that President Trump won in 2016 was simply because Hillary Clinton was literally the most unpopular candidate in the history of polling.”

Leading up to the state’s Republican primary earlier this year, Sasse tempered his periodic criticism of Trump, perhaps to keep his longshot GOP challenger at bay. But the senator resumed his occasional tongue-lashing once he secured the renomination. At least, that is how Sasse’s pro-Trump critics on the right have interpreted his public comments regarding the president.

Seems appropriate. When happy.

Documents show funding for a host of health programs is at risk under the president’s order targeting liberal strongholds.

"Pope Francis called the Trump administration policy of separating children at the border “cruelty of the highest form” in a new documentary that premiered in Rome today.

“It’s cruelty, and separating kids from parents goes against natural rights,” the pope says in the documentary “Francesco.” “It’s something a Christian cannot do. It’s cruelty of the highest form.”

Ashley Feasley, the director of migration policy and public affairs at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said that while separations from children and parents happened on occasion under the Bush and Obama administrations, the Trump administration policy is different. “This has been large scale and strategic and intentional,” she said.

The Trump administration also had no plan to reunite the children with their parents, and they have yet to establish a tracking system to keep track of children, Ms. Feasley said. She noted that Lutheran and Catholic agencies worked together to reunite 1,500 families in 2018. Yet, Ms. Feasley said, many of those families suffer ongoing mental health problems stemming from the traumatic separation experience."
