The "October surprise" is here in all of its ugliness -- 

They called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage."

They said Blacks carve watermelons instead of pumpkins.

They said "hope your beeper doesn't go off" just for sympathizing with Palestinians.

The REAL October Surprise - MAGA is outing itself just in time for Election Day.

The Malignant Loser undermines his defense in Carroll defamation case --

NOW: Trump just blew up his defense against E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case by calling her claims a "hoax" on Truth Social. Trump's lawyers agued he was protected against defamation as POTUS - but Carroll can now amend her complaint since Trump is a private citizen.

1. Use an official ballot drop off box; 

2. Drop it off at an early voting site; 

3. Drop it off at your county election board office; or

4. Vote in person early or on November 3 if you don't do 1-3, above. 

Here's a place to start for more information.

Tweet Of The Day -- Paths Forward

 

Democrats' two likeliest paths forward, as I see it:

1. Win in November, decline to expand the court, enact a bunch of laws, lose the Senate in 2022, watch helplessly as the Supreme Court strikes down all their new laws in 2023.

2. Expand the court and save democracy.

Tweet Of The Day -- Visualize Victory

 

Good morning. We're in the last gasp of minority rule. In 2021, we will fix the democracy the GOP has broken: a modern, expanded Court, an end to the Jim Crow relic filibuster, a Right to Vote const amendment and statehood. A republic if we can keep it. 1st stop: flip the Senate.

Tweet Of The Day -- The Wages Of Spin

News item:  Trump campaign in financial turmoil.  Where'd the million$ go?

The Trump campaign has undertaken its own financial review of spending under Mr. Parscale. Among the first changes implemented was shutting down an ad campaign that had used Mr. Parscale's personal social media accounts to deliver pro-Trump ads. More than $800,000 had been poured into boosting Mr. Parscale's Facebook and Instagram pages; those ads ceased the day after he was removed as campaign manager.

Tweets Of The Day

News item:  Last night at his Bedminster golf club "press conference," moron vector Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump had a HUGE announcement to make:  he would be "pursuing" an executive order making coverage of pre-existing conditions mandatory for insurance companies.  Needless to say, there were plenty of folks happy to point out something about that announcement:

Trump says he's looking at doing an executive order to require health care providers to cover preexisting conditions, which is already the law of the land thanks to the Affordable Care Act he hates so much pic.twitter.com/2EG5iL9DCA

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 7, 2020

Trump has no shame. Tonight, he’s promising an executive order to protect people with pre-existing conditions when that’s already the law. The ACA does just that and he’s been trying to repeal it for years. Shameless!

— Rep. Frank Pallone (@FrankPallone) August 8, 2020

The President must be kidding with this “executive order.”

(1) Pre-existing conditions are *already* covered by law (ACA / “Obamacare”);

(2) Trump administration just argued that the Supreme Court must strike down the entire ACA, including coverage for pre-existing conditions.

— Elie Honig (@eliehonig) August 8, 2020

 

Trump says he's "pursuing" an executive order to require all health insurance companies to "cover all pre-existing conditions for all customers." Trump says, "This has never been done before." (Pre-existing-condition protections currently exist in Obamacare, a law.)

— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) August 7, 2020

 

📣 ANY reporter/media outlet which reports/tweets about Trump's XO "ordering" insurance companies to "cover pre-existing conditions" without mentioning that THE ACA ALREADY DOES THIS and TRUMP IS SUING TO STRIKE DOWN THE ACA is guilty of journalistic malpractice.

— Charles Gaba (@charles_gaba) August 8, 2020

So, after talking for weeks about an imminent health care plan, this is what they come up with?  Is it to provide cover for the Republican Supreme Court to strike down the Affordable Care Act in the pending cases, most likely after the election as a final f.u. to Democrats?  Regardless, there are millions of low information voters who might buy this as an "alternative" to the ACA, even though loss of coverage, junk policies and unaffordable premiums would be some of the ways the insurance industry would likely respond in an ACA- free America.

Democrats and the media can't let them get away with this COVID Donnie con job.

Meanwhile, the event turned into more of a mini- rally, with club members ($350,000 membership fee) assembled mostly mask- less and with their wine glasses to cheer COVID Donnie, while no action is taken to help unemployed Americans:

Tweet Of The Day -- "What Day Is It? Where Are You?"

Background: During an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox "News", there was this exchange with Very Stable Genius Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump:

With the president challenging presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden to go down and take the test with him, [Wallace] pulled the president up and smiled as he pointed out there is little to be proud about for passing such a simple series of exercises.

“I took the [cognitive] test too, when I heard you passed it,” Wallace said as a shot of the test scrolled on the screen for the viewers. “It’s not the hardest test. It shows a picture and it says, ‘what’s that,’ and it’s an elephant.” 

“No, no,” Trump snapped back. “You see that’s all misrepresentation. Because, yes, the first few questions are easy, but I’ll bet you couldn’t answer the last five questions. I’ll bet you couldn’t, they get very hard.”

Check them out:

Trump about the cognitive test he took: "... The first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't, they get very hard, the last five questions."
