Ambulance arrives for Georgia voters 'passing out' in long lines: Report Controversy allegedly erupted as the chance to cast ballots on Georgia’s first day of in-person early voting Monday when thousands of people waited for hours to make their voices heard. Liberal activist Shaun King tweeted an image of the scene: “It’s OUTRAGEOUS. People are passing out. The ambulance just came. People are hungry and thirsty. People are leaving for work. This is voter suppression.” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ambulance-arrives-for-georgia-voters-passing-out-in-long-lines

Trump pushed McConnell to pass the nuclear option for SC confirmation, now we have all out partisan war. This will not end well.

Amy is well qualified but would she be confirmed if 60 votes were still needed. The Constitution does not set any qualifications for service as a Justice, thus the President may nominate any individual to serve on the Court. Senate cloture rules historically required a two-thirds affirmative vote to advance nominations to a vote; this was changed to a three-fifths supermajority in 1975. In 2013, Senate Democrats — then in the majority — triggered the nuclear option for the first time. Frustrated with what they considered the relentless Republican obstruction of Obama's appointments, Democrats led by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, changed the rules so that lower court and Cabinet nominees could be confirmed with a simple majority, rather than the typical 60-vote threshold. McConnell railed against the change at the time, though the 60-vote threshold still applied to high court nominees. However, when it came time to confirm Gorsuch in 2017, near-unified Democratic opposition and the GOP's own slim majority of 51 Republican senators made getting to a 60-vote supermajority impossible. Last April,2017 McConnell triggered a rules change, clearing the way for Gorsuch to be confirmed with a simple majority. The use of the nuclear option for Supreme Court nominees was dramatic for a body like the Senate, which operates on tradition and precedent. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/mcconnell-went-nuclear-confirm-gorsuch-democrats-changed-senate-filibuster-rules-n887271 2017: Supreme Court nominations On April 6, 2017, Senate Republicans invoked the nuclear option to remove the Supreme Court exception created in 2013. This was after Senate Democrats filibustered the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States, after the Senate Republicans had previously refused to take up Merrick Garland's nomination by President Obama in 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_option

"Buffalo, Taylor Hall here! It’s been a crazy past couple of days for me, but I can’t tell you how excited I am to be a Buffalo Sabres. I hope I get to play in front of you great fans soon. I was going to smash into a fold-up table for my intro, but it’s probably safest if I don’t. Hopefully we get playing hockey again sometime soon, but until then, Go Bills." https://buffalonews.com/sports/sabres/newest-sabre-taylor-hall-to-buffalo-i-was-going-to-smash-into-a-fold-up/article_ab79cd04-0cb5-11eb-af3a-571eedc1fe81.html

The Bills playing Tues instead of Sunday gives them more time to heal which is very good.

What if the Democrats win the WH , Senate , keep the House and pack the SC . Whatever law they pass the SC could say it is Constitutional. That is why I hate partisan politics it could get to that point.

Once the nuclear option was passed to go from 60 votes to confirm a SC Justice to a simple majority all heck will continue to break loose .

After Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell announced his impending retirement, Reagan nominated Bork to the Supreme Court in 1987, precipitating a contested Senate debate. Opposition to Bork centered on his stated desire to roll back the civil rights decisions of the Warren and Burger courts and his role in the Saturday Night Massacre. His nomination was defeated in the Senate, with 58 of the 100 Senators opposing his nomination. That Supreme Court vacancy was eventually filled by another Reagan nominee, Anthony Kennedy. David Hackett Souter (/ˈsuːtər/ SOO-tər; born September 17, 1939) is a retired Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. He served from October 1990 to his retirement in June 2009.[2] Appointed by US President George H. W. Bush to fill the seat that had been vacated by William J. Brennan Jr., Souter sat on both the Rehnquist and the Roberts Courts. A Supreme Court Justice should be bipartisan 60 vote to avoid extremists

However, if the Titans register any more positive tests, forcing Tuesday's game to be postponed, the Bills-Chiefs game will revert to its original slot on Thursday Night Football on Oct. 15. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30073030/tennessee-titans-buffalo-bills-moved-sunday-tuesday Titans game postponed till when ? Bills have a bye week 11 but Titans don't.

Would also be nice to have a backup QB like Frank Reich.

Titans broke protocols, gathered for a workout last week OCTOBER 07, 2020 12:35 PM NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A group of Titans worked out at Montgomery Bell Academy on Sept. 30 despite an NFL directive not to hold such get-togethers while team headquarters was closed because of a COVID-19 outbreak, according to sources who saw players there. A league source said that once the Titans building was closed down on Sept. 29, the franchise was told there were to be “no in-person meetings, workouts or activities at the facility or elsewhere.” Another source said he saw Ryan Tannehill there. https://www.paulkuharsky.com/news/titans-broke-protocols-gathered-for-a-workout-last-week

Gavin and Andrew won't be happy

Trump calls for stimulus negotiations to stop until after Election Day "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. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/06/politics/trump-ends-stimulus-talks/index.html

Goldman Sachs: A Democratic sweep would mean faster economic recovery New York (CNN Business)President Donald Trump is once again warning voters that Democrats would "shut our economy and jobs down" if they win in November. Goldman Sachs is telling its clients the exact opposite. Just hours after Trump's all-caps Monday morning tweet predicting economic disaster, Goldman economists pointed out that polls "suggest a 'blue wave' in which Democrats gain unified control of Washington is becoming more likely" -- and they're not suggesting investors dump stocks. In fact, "all else equal, such a blue wave would likely prompt us to upgrade our forecasts," Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a Monday report. It's true that if Democrats sweep into power early next year, it would likely translate to higher taxes and regulation. Such a reversal from the Trump agenda could eat into corporate profits and the earnings for affluent families. But Joe Biden is also promising a bonanza of government spending that, coupled with extremely low interest rates, would likely speed up the economy. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/06/business/economy-election-blue-wave-goldman-sachs/index.html Fed chair warns of economic tragedy if America can't control the coronavirus https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/06/economy/fed-powell-coronavirus-stimulus/index.html I was wondering why the stock market is still so high I'm still writing in John Kasich 🙂

I just hope the Bills- KC game could be delayed till Sunday Oct 18 if the Bills played the Titans Monday Oct 12

Flight of Boeing E-6B Mercurys amid Trump's coronavirus announcement 'purely coincidental': Strategic Command The E-6B is used by the government to convey instructions to the fleet of ballistic submarines the U.S. has in waters around the world. The vessels can deploy nuclear-tipped Trident submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). The planes are part of Operation Looking Glass – known today as Airborne Command Post (ABNCP) – and are used to provide command and control of U.S. nuclear forces if any ground-based command centers are either destroyed or inoperable. There was speculation the airborne command posts were deployed as a warning to any of America’s enemies after news broke of Trump’s positive test for the novel coronavirus. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trumps-positive-coronavirus-test-prompts-pentagon-to-deploy-nuclear-command-plane
