Everything Joe Biden--Gaffes, Miscues, Touching, Songs
ALF replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The Democrats would need a majority in the House , Senate and have the WH in the election or future to pack the court. If they had that majority no need to pack the court if they stay within the Constitution . They need to get back to 60 votes that means bipartisan legislation. -
Chris Wallace blames Trump for chaotic debate: He 'bears the primary responsibility' "I had baked this beautiful, delicious cake and then frankly the President put his foot in it," Wallace said. "That was frustrating," Wallace added. "It was frustrating for me because I tried hard to prepare for a serious debate, much more frustrating and more importantly for the American people because they didn't get the debate they wanted that they deserved." https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/01/media/chris-wallace-trump-biden-debate/index.html

BLACK AMERICANS NOW ACCOUNT FOR THE HIGHEST INCREASE IN GUN SALES OF ANY DEMOGRAPHIC August 7, 2020 “The highest overall firearm sales increase comes from Black men and women, who show a 58.2% increase in purchases during the first six months of 2020 versus the same period last year,” wrote Jim Curcuruto, National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) director of Research and Market Development, in his report according to AOL News. “Bottom line is that there has never been a sustained surge in firearm sales quite like what we are in the midst of.” Overall, gun sales have been surging across the United States. According to The Brookings Institution, nearly 3 million firearms had been purchased since March https://www.blackenterprise.com/black-americans-now-account-for-the-highest-increase-in-gun-sales-of-any-demographic/ -
Claims under the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program that Congress created to help workers who wouldn't usually be eligible for benefits, such as the self-employed, stood at 650,120. Adding these together, there were 1.4 million total first-time claims for benefits last week, roughly even with the prior week.

Will that stop the talk or actual packing the court with 11 or more justices ?
-
Doing away with the bipartisan 60 vote to confirm a SC Justice can result in more extreme jurists from whichever party controls the Senate. This will just further divide the country and that is dangerous.

SydneyBillsFan thought Chris Wallace worked for CNN so the point was to give him the truth

SydneyBillsFan According to Sky News Australia, the unofficial "Who Chris Wallace interrupted" count: Biden 15 Trump 77 Can you imagine a scenario where a CNN reporter gives Trump a free ride? Chris Wallace works for Fox News He had to interrupt Trump because Trump kept talking when he was not supposed to , imagine that.

It would be up to Congress and the WH to sign a bill increasing the size of SC ? I would be against having more then 9 justices. Congress needs to do it's job and legislate not have the SC do their job.

The US president was challenged about his white supremacist supporters during his debate with Joe Biden. But when asked to denounce the far-right group Proud Boys by name, he said: "Stand back and stand by." https://www.bbc.com/news/av/election-us-2020-54351472

If they are caught doing this give them the max sentence and a lot of media shaming to deter others. -
House Democrats unveil updated version of the Heroes Act House Democrats on Monday unveiled a $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief package intended to "avert catastrophe for schools, small businesses, restaurants, performance spaces, airline workers and others." Pelosi reportedly spoke with U.S. Treasury of Secretary Steven Mnuchin after Democrats unveiled the plan. The two agreed to speak again Wednesday morning. Pelosi and House Democratic leaders are expected to hold a vote as early as Thursday before going home to campaign ahead of the November election. During an appearance on MSNBC earlier Monday, Pelosi said Mnuchin "has to come back with much more money to get the job done. So I'm hopeful. I'm optimistic." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-democrats-unveil-updated-version-of-the-heroes-act

That turned out to be excellent police work Using a hostage negotiator like this should be even more widespread with so many mental health calls today.

The Governor said Florida is a law and order State. Maybe a social worker with the police might help . When the caller mentioned a firearm they might be less patient with a possible suicide call. Suicide by cop is also possible for someone in that frame of mind. I do hope he recovers.

Rams vent over costly pass interference call that lifted Bills to victory The Rams were the beneficiaries of a controversial call in Week 1 when Jalen Ramsey drew an offensive pass interference call on a late fourth quarter play from the Dallas Cowboys that would have put them in a position to win the game. The Rams also, of course, benefitted from one of the most controversial calls of all time back in the 2019 NFC Championship Game when they got away with a defensive pass interference against the Saints, which led to overtime where the Rams won and advanced to the Super Bowl. https://www.radio.com/wgr550/sports/nfl/rams-vent-over-pass-interference-call-that-helped-bills-win karma

RealKayAdams wrote : "Trump has made several specific comments recently on the California wildfires that demand immediate correction. He keeps blaming liberal politicians and radical environmentalists within the state for forest mismanagement, but about 55% of California’s forests are federal land and about 40% are private, with only about 5% the responsibility of the state. " Do state regs apply to fed and private forest land ?

The airline employees have been receiving pandemic unemployment assistance . When that runs out unemployment rate goes up. Pelosi now has leverage to get aid to states before election especially after tipping SC to right . Need to bail out Gavin and Andrew , Nancy is playing 4D chess 🙂

ALF replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Biden will have to delegate responsibility
