  1. ...so what say you Chuck The Schmuck?.......obstruct the people's poll as usual and demonstrate your leadership(COUGH)"??.....yet ANOTHER miserable NYS failure in a long list of putz's extraordinaire.....

    Majority favor confirming Barrett to Supreme Court, oppose court packing, polls show

    Barrett received greater support than Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh during their confirmations

     
    A new Gallup poll shows that a majority of Americans support the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court by a slim margin.
     
    The poll, released Tuesday morning, revealed that 51% of participants said they are in favor of President Trump's latest nominee joining the high court, compared to 46% who are opposed. Just 3% said they do not have an opinion on the matter, the lowest number since Gallup started taking polls on Supreme Court nominees.
     

    The poll was taken from Sept. 30 – four days after Trump nominated Barrett – to Oct. 15, the final day of her confirmation hearing.

     

    Barrett's 51% approval is higher than both of Trump's previous nominees. Justice Neil Gorsuch received support from 45% of those polled when he was nominated, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh garnered 41%. In both of those situations, far more people stated they had no opinion. For Gorsuch, 23% had no opinion and 32% were opposed, and for Kavanaugh 22% had no opinion and 37% were opposed.

     

    The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on Barrett's nomination on Thursday. The full Senate will then hold a vote on whether to confirm her to the Supreme Court. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tweeted Monday that he will make sure the process moves forward swiftly.

    Jeffrey Toobin will 'probably' return to CNN after ***** scandal dies down, insiders say

    'He's too valuable of a commodity,' one network insider tells Fox News

     
    CNN star Jeffrey Toobin is taking "time off" after he was suspended by the New Yorker magazine for allegedly ***** during a Zoom call with his colleagues. However, insiders at the cable network suggest that its chief legal analyst will "probably" return to the air after the scandal exits the headlines.

    Toobin joined CNN in 2002 and has been a staple ever since. While one network insider views the Toobin as "smug," the person also acknowledged that Toobin is "respected" among colleagues, a "smart guy," and "good on TV."

    And despite the incident being "embarrassing" and "humiliating" for CNN, the insider told Fox News that Toobin is "one of the biggest faces on the network" and "too valuable of a commodity" to let go.

     

    "I wouldn’t be shocked either way," said the insider, weighing the #MeToo implications of Toobin's alleged actions against the rapidly changing news cycle two weeks before the presidential election.

    I view Joe as being more incompetent, and now senile.  What I was getting at is that Hunter doing something stupid is like breathing for him.

     

    owning the state of Delaware much like the Landreaus owning Louisiana makes it easy to hide behind Daddy's coat tails........

    18 U.S.C. § 1112 defines “the commission…without due caution and circumspection, of a lawful act which might produce death” as “involuntarily manslaughter,” a felony punishable by 8 years in federal prison. Donald Trump commits that crime every time he holds one of his rallies.

    Biden mum on Hunter Biden emails, alleged knowledge of son's overseas business dealings

    Biden's campaign has hit back at the New York Post report and the emails, but the former vice president has yet to address the matter.

     
    Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has remained mum on questions about his knowledge of his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings, which were discussed in a series of emails purportedly found on a laptop belonging to his son.
     
    The New York Post last week published the controversial emails, which were later obtained by Fox News, related to Hunter Biden’s work with Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, as well as his work with a Chinese energy firm.
     

    While the Biden campaign has hit back at the New York Post report, the former vice president himself has not given a sustantive answer on the emails.

     

    Biden, over the weekend, was asked about the Post report by a CBS News reporter, to which he replied: “I have no response.”

     

    It's "another smear campaign," he said.

     

    One email, dated May 13, 2017, and obtained by Fox News, includes a discussion of “remuneration packages” for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy firm. The email appeared to identify Hunter Biden as “Chair/ Vice Chair depending on an agreement with CEFC,” in an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.

    Compton rolls out largest 2-year guaranteed income program amid racial injustice reckoning

    Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, voiced her support for the program

     

    Hundreds of people living in the California city of Compton, including those out of prison and illegal immigrants, will be eligible to receive guaranteed income as part of a new pilot program over the next two years.

     

    Compton Mayor Aja Brown announced Monday that The Compton Pledge, a landmark guaranteed income initiative, will distribute recurring, direct cash relief to approximately 800 low-income residents for two years, starting in late 2020.

     

    It’s the largest city-led guaranteed income program in the U.S. to date and comes amid a nationwide reckoning on racial injustice and inequality. According to the city, all funds are being raised privately in partnership with the Jain Family Institute, an applied research group, and the Fund for Guaranteed Income, a registered public charity launched to steward guaranteed income as a path to racial justice.

     

    Those who were formally incarcerated, as well as illegal immigrants, are eligible for the program and may receive regular cash payments worth at least hundreds of dollars.

     

    Patrisse Cullors, an advocate of the Compton Pledge and co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, said, “guaranteed income is an urgent and necessary strategy for addressing the economic realities of racial injustice. I’m thrilled Mayor Brown and Compton are leading the way in this growing national movement.”

    agree about Fauci

    disagree about the results of the "study"

    it is  designed to produce fear porn -that nothing works on the vrius

     

    It is accepted "science" that early treatment is critical

    yet this "study" ignored early treatment as a key variable

     

    from the link-

    "The trial participants were treated at 405 different hospitals around the world, each with their own treatment protocols, so factors beyond remdesivir may have impacted patient survival, he noted. In addition, remdesivir may still offer benefit to patients if given early in the course of their illness, but that wasn't specifically addressed by the new study, Dr. Maricar Malinis, an infectious diseases physician at Yale University, told the Times.

    Sad.  And with respect to Covid the virus doesn’t care a whit about politics, etc.

     

     

    ....my astute (COUGH) relatives lay the entire Covid-19 blame at Trump's feet.......now if, IF a Dem was in charge at 1600 Pennsylvania and the response was the same, their penny loafers would be drowning in positive drool......hypocrisy is a trait "solely for the other side"....

    I think there is some redeeming idea

    s Trump brought:

     

    1. Term limits on politicians

    2. Separating lobbyists from politics and not having politicians beholden to lobbyists

     

     

     

     

     

    ...we just need to forever take that nonsense off the table PERIOD......535 marginal lawyers (NOTE 535 includes BOTH sides) are going to bite the hand that feeds them?.....and you thought the private sector would pay better?.....the 535 epitomizes aggrandizement.....finding a "poor one" among the 535 is like finding a poor Union official....good luck.....

    It’s not easy, really. I couldn’t stomach seeing that fraudster Matt Whittaker but sat through some of the shows. 

     

    Some highlights so far: 

     

    Juan Williams is a real trooper and just does a good job answering with sanity many of the outrageous points some of the hysterical guests they have on. His facial expressions when some stupid point is made are funny. They were trying to bust Biden for the crime bill he helped author and I’m thinking who the hell are they trying to convince here? Do a lot of black voters watch Fox? 

     

    Then the main news people were all over Twitter for not allowing the NYPost Russian propaganda story to be retweeted. They never say why Twitter did it, never talk about how stupid the whole thing is , where it came from, how Rudy is now being looked at as a Russian asset, nope, it’s all a free speech issue supposedly and they are victims. 

     

    They had one show were a guy who thinks racism is scam that uses black people as victims was on. He had made a documentary on the Micheal Brown shooting and was saying something about how Democrats just make black people victims or something. Racism isn’t that bid a deal thing, I guess. 

     

    Last night they did a big build up for Trump flying into Wisconsin and then just turned the TV over to him to vomit out his nonsense. Do people really tune in to watch him blather on and on? 

     

     

    Im going to keep watching Fox through Election Day. 

     

     

     

    ...YOU watching Fox?........I need a drink ALREADY......

    The respondent wants folks like you and me to die so he can do what he wants.  If this attitude ever prevailed what would keep them from just gathering up all us older folk and eliminating us?

     

    ...their mantra is, "if you can't beat 'em....eliminate 'em"........at least us "seasoned folks", regardless of party affiliation, can engage in CIVIL discourse in a tolerant and respectful way....RESPECT in today's society is LONG GONE......BUT.....there are those within the "seasoned ranks" that are arrogant, condescending and want to force their views on you...my relatives are a perfect example....they are dyed in the wool, staunch Dems forever.......I'm talking "CNN IS gospel.......EVER voting for ANY Republican is heresy and treason...".....they loved family outings where they could bait and goad you into a "discussion (COUGH)"......their favorite line is/was, ".....let me explain THIS for you"........a cousin who is a Trump supporter was unfriended on FB by another cousin and his wife (epitome of condescending arrogance), citing him as "a lunatic and unfit to be a father raising children in such a radical household".....quarantined myself from all of them 12 years ago and still counting.....their "thinking (COUGH)" was ingrained by their late parents, my aunts in particular...my late mother referred to Reagan as "nothing but a B-rated movie actor"......her late sister, a self-proclaimed political EXPERT because she lived in VA said, "Ronald Reagan ruined my life" followed by 911 quip, "George Bush is NOT MY President"......or another late sister who agonized over voting for Obama because "I don't think I can vote for a black man".....black man vs a Republican vote?.....yup she voted Obama.....
