Biden blasts Trump for saying doctors are using Covid to boost payments
The head of the American Medical Association also denounced the attacks on the motivations of health care workers.
Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Friday decried President Donald Trump for alleging medical providers are juicing Covid-19 statistics to generate additional revenue.
“The president of the United States is accusing the medical profession of making up Covid deaths so they make more money,” Biden said at a drive-in campaign event in St. Paul, Minn. “Doctors and nurses go to work every day to save lives. They do their jobs. Donald Trump should stop attacking them and do his job.”
At a rally in Michigan earlier in the afternoon, Trump said “our doctors get more money if someone dies from Covid,” and so “when in doubt choose Covid.”
“Our doctors are smart people, so what they do is say ‘I’m sorry but, you know, everybody dies of Covid,’” Trump continued, asserting that each coronavirus death was worth “like $2,000 more” without providing further details.
The head of the American Medical Association on Friday denounced attacks on the motivations of health care workers during the pandemic as “malicious, outrageous and comply misguided,” without mentioning Trump by name.

Trump’s H-1B ban may have shaved $100 billion off America’s biggest firms
Trump administration’s decision to temporarily suspend the H-1B visa programme (https://qz.com/india/1871956/h-1b-h-4-suspension-will-hit-trumps-america-more-than-indian-it/) has taken a toll on the valuations of several large American companies.
The cumulative average abnormal returns (CAARs) of 471 companies from the Fortune 500 list dropped by 0.45%—equivalent to over $100 billion—in the 10 days after the order to halt H-1B was signed on June 22, according to a new study (https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w27997/w27997.pdf?utm_campaign=PANTHEON_STRIPPED&%3Butm_medium=PANTHEON_STRIPPED&%3Butm_source=PANTHEON_STRIPPED) (pdf). The CAAR is used to measure the effect of lawsuits, buyouts, and other events.
The June order has barred nearly 200,000 foreign workers and their dependents from entering the US, making it harder for American companies to hire skilled immigrants. :lol CHEAP skilled immigrants
The impact was most pronounced for the financial, information technology, and real estate (FIRE) sectors,

Any vendor still doing work for the Trump campaign on credit has itself to blame. It's been widely reported for a few weeks that advertising firms and media aren't doing anything for Trump's campaign on credit anymore.
Trump has also stiffed like 10 different cities/towns on rally costs (i.e., extra police as security). The only reason Trump's campaign isn't totally out of money is because it hasn't paid its bills and its used government resources for campaigning.

Ernst was getting dragged down by McConnell, and she had a feel gaffes that made her vulnerable, namely her COVIDspiracy theory about inflated deaths.
Will be interesting to see how some of these races play out. Greenfield was ahead in the polls but is losing momentum. Ossoff was behind in the polls to Perdue but has all the momentum in the world now.

Biden’s being polling 2-3 points ahead in Iowa and so has Greenfield for a good bit. This one been the exception.
This race is between a toss up and barely lean R. Greenfield definitely has a higher percentage of winning than does Biden though.

If Trump is really 7 points up in Iowa it’s a red flag for Biden in the Midwest. Iowa isn’t THAT much more red than Wisconsin/Michigan, so if this poll is right it has implications that exceed just Iowa.

I've been looking at some of the betting sites, like PredictIt, and they've had Iowa red for a bit now, while they have WI, MI, MN all blue. Not saying it's something conclusive, just adding to the picture.
I mean, you know I mentioned my philosophy in this election is any place that's within the MoE goes to Trump, so this is basically coherent with that thinking.
Will Hunting
10-31-2020, 10:03 PM
I don’t think the poll is right though because Iowa’s first district isn’t 15 points in favor of Rs, it has a Dem house rep and is usually a tossup seat. My guess is that IA is Trump +2-3% with the senate race being a coin flip.
If Trump is really 7 points up in Iowa it’s a red flag for Biden in the Midwest. Iowa isn’t THAT much more red than Wisconsin/Michigan, so if this poll is right it has implications that exceed just Iowa.
That's extreme.
The onus is on Trump to carry a state he won by like 10 points in 2016. Suddenly Biden needing Iowa more than Trump is a real reach.

That's extreme.
The onus is on Trump to carry a state he won by like 10 points in 2016. Suddenly Biden needing Iowa more than Trump is a real reach.
I don’t think he needs Iowa, I’m saying if he loses Iowa by 7 it’s suddenly not too distant from 2016 when Hillary lost it by 9 points. If Iowa is a close race but Biden still loses it, likely a non-issue. I was speaking to the scenario of him being down 7.

I've been looking at some of the betting sites, like PredictIt, and they've had Iowa red for a bit now, while they have WI, MI, MN all blue. Not saying it's something conclusive, just adding to the picture.
I mean, you know I mentioned my philosophy in this election is any place that's within the MoE goes to Trump, so this is basically coherent with that thinking.

the $200 senior drug cards are yet more presidential vaporware.
President Donald Trump's plan to distribute $200 drug-discount cards to all Medicare recipients remains in limbo after officials missed an earlier goal (https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/08/seema-verma-mark-meadows-drug-card-plan-427950) of sending out millions of announcement letters and even some cards by Election Day, said three officials with knowledge of the plan.
The officials said that there are still unresolved concerns about the legality and logistics of the nearly $8 billion plan, including how it would be financially structured, and that there are no current plans to roll out the program.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, also known simply as the PG, is the largest newspaper serving metropolitan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_metropolitan_area) Pittsburgh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania). Descended from the Pittsburgh Gazette, established in 1786 as the first newspaper published west of the Allegheny Mountains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegheny_Mountains), the paper has existed under its present title since 1927.
It ended daily print publication in 2018 and currently puts out print editions only three days a week, going online-only (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_newspaper) the rest of the week. In 2018, the editorial tone of the paper shifted from liberal to conservative after the editorial pages of the paper were consolidated with the The Blade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blade_(Toledo,_Ohio)) of Toledo, Ohio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo,_Ohio). After the consolidation, Keith Burris, the pro-Trump editorial page editor of The Blade, directed the editorial pages of both papers.

Trump’s coronavirus failures destroyed his presidency — and will be the first line of his obituary
President Donald Trump and his health advisers made critical mistakes handling the coronavirus,
current and former officials admit, and
those errors have cost tens of thousands of lives and imperil his political future. :lol
the White House was well aware of the danger it posed but purposefully misled the public about the risk and moved too slowly to contain its spread.
The president and his team ignored warnings from national security and health officials,
the White House moved too slowly to ramp up testing,
lock down the country as others had done, and
invoke the Defense Production Act to distribute needed medical supplies.
asked ... seven Trump advisers and confidants
if they ever heard him express regret about his handling of the virus,
and all of them said no — and
one senior administration literally laughed out loud.
his mishandling of the pandemic will prove to be his political undoing — and will likely be his lasting legacy.

Florida stronghold of elderly Trump voters sees COVID-19 infection spike days after hosting campaign rally
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/florida-stronghold-of-elderly-trump-voters-sees-19-infection-spike-days-after-hosting-campaign-rally
The real reason Trash is staying in the WH Tue night, rather than at his hotel?
The White House is about to be officially on lockdown with new ‘non-scalable’ fence
https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/White-House-Fence.jpg
D.C. businesses are being told to board up their store-fronts
and give their staff the week off.
According to NBC News’ Geoff Bennett, the White House is now locking down.
crews will build a ‘non-scalable’ fence to secure the White House complex, Ellipse and Lafayette Square,”
“250 National Guardsmen have been put on standby, reporting to Metro Police officials.”
Less than a month ago,Army leaders said that there was no plan (https://www.stripes.com/news/us/army-leaders-say-there-is-no-plan-yet-to-deploy-troops-for-election-day-1.648472) to deploy troops for Election Day.
Those troops are now on “standby” just outside the city, prepared to police the streets of the American capital.
. During the BLM events, the FBI said that there were
“opportunists” and “anarchists” who tried to take advantage of the protests and cause violence.
BLM protesters ultimately began grabbing these agitators and taking them to police officers (https://www.rawstory.com/2020/05/watch-dc-protesters-turn-over-agitator-to-police-then-the-agitators-try-to-start-a-fight-with-cops/) to arrest if they disturbed property.

no doubt, FUCKING CATHOLIC PAPIST BARR has given "shoot to kill" standing orders.
In Trump's head, there is no problem that a fence can't solve.

New York banker:
'No bank would touch' Trump post-presidency
Trump is "done in the real estate business" because "no bank would touch him,"
likely leaving him without the capital necessary to get back in the game.
The banker reportedly believes (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/11/09/why-trump-cant-afford-to-lose) that even Deutsche Bank
— which Mayer notes is, "notoriously, the one institution that continued loaning money to Trump in the two decades before he became president" —
would shy away from reviving their relationship.
"They could lose every American client they have around the world," the banker said (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/11/09/why-trump-cant-afford-to-lose).
"The Trump name, I think, has turned into a giant liability."

How SCOTUS could elect yet another Repug Pres who loses the popular vote
Conservative Supreme Court justices are threatening a post-election coup
They are pushing a theory that makes a mockery of America’s constitutional design.
Four justices —
Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Clarence Thomas —
have resuscitated a half-baked theory three justices espoused in Bush v. Gore
to let Republicans trash ballots after Election Day.
Last week, in an opinion blocking an extended ballot deadline in Wisconsin,
Kavanaugh highlighted (https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/20a66_new_m6io.pdf) this minority rationale from Bush v. Gore —
the first such reference to that infamous decision since 2000.
The "text of the Constitution requires federal courts to ensure that state courts do not rewrite state election laws,” Kavanaugh argued.
Rehnquist had “persuasively explained” this two decades ago in his concurrence, Kavanaugh claimed, and the court had “unanimously” affirmed it in Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board, an antecedent to Bush v. Gore.
But that’s fake history. Rehnquist spoke for just three justices.
And in its unanimous Palm Beach ruling, the court pointedly declined (https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/531/70/#tab-opinion-1960857) to resolve whether it had the authority to set aside a state court decision regarding state electoral law.
Alito wrote in the Pennsylvania case (joined by Gorsuch and Thomas),
“a state court could override the rules adopted by the legislature, simply by claiming that a state constitutional provision gave the courts the authority to make whatever rules it thought appropriate for the conduct of a fair election.”
And in the North Carolina order, Gorsuch lamented that a six-day extension to the ballot-receipt deadline
“do[es] damage to faith in the written Constitution as law, to the power of the people to oversee their own government, and to the authority of legislatures.”
This ascendant chorus from the Supreme Court’s most conservative bloc is frightening.
It affords
exclusive and unbounded power to state legislatures to set the terms of federal elections without oversight from or supplementation by any entity including any court — state or federal.
And it clashes with the checks and balances that animate our federal system.
under the theory of Kavanaugh et al., it seems state courts have no power to enforce such a provision: the legislature is supreme.
State legislators could scrap elections entirely, if they like. Article II of the Constitution gives them unlimited power.
Sound absurd? That’s because the whole argument clashes with core features of America’s constitutional design.
In all states, a governor must sign a bill before it becomes law (http://www.dorfonlaw.org/2020/09/state-legislatures-cannot-act-alone-in.html).
Do the four conservative justices really believe a legislature may dictate an election’s result without overriding the state governor’s veto?
the Right-Wing Four are inviting Barrett to join:
any measures not explicitly endorsed by a state’s legislature can be overturned by the Supreme Court —
even if local authorities are reasonably striving to facilitate voting during a pandemic in a manner that upholds the state’s constitution.

Trump is ‘a ball of volatility’ behind the scenes
it’s reasonable to assume that the president could be fearful that he is about to be entering a season of litigation.
Trump has worked over the past months
to try and suppress votes,
to convince Americans the vote can’t be trusted,
intimidate Democrats, and
with the help of the GOP sue his way into throwing away Democratic ballots.
Everything has failed.
“The president.. has drawn encouragement from his larger audiences and from a stream of
relatively upbeat polling information that advisers have curated for him, typically filtering out the bleakest numbers,” :lol.
Trump’s aides are even telling him that he’s going to win the Electoral College, something that isn’t supported by any polls. :lol
Trump is a mixture of misplaced giddy excitement and
anger that the delusion in his bubble isn’t the reality seen on television anywhere. :lol
a closing campaign message that
makes no sense,
has no agenda,
absent of any plan for dealing with any problems and
generally making him look far out of touch with the country.

Trump's call for an 'army' of poll watchers is falling flat so far
the poll-watching army that the Trumps have tried to rally hasn't materialized.
Although there's no official data,
election officials across the country say that they have seen relatively few Republican poll watchers during early voting, and
that at times Democratic poll watchers have outnumbered the GOP's.
In Colorado and Nevada, where the Trump campaign was particularly active in recruiting poll watchers, its efforts largely petered out.
“I am receiving reports of a few thousand poll watchers from a variety of left-leaning groups.
There are very few poll watchers from right-leaning groups,"
Trump campaign is betting on
scaring voters into staying home to avoid confrontation.
But, he said, that tactic appears to have backfired,
as young people and other likely Democratic voters have flocked to the polls during early voting.

Supreme Court throws out First Amendment ruling against Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson
WASHINGTON – The Black Lives Matter movement got a favorable ruling Monday from the Supreme Court.
The justices tossed out a federal appeals court decision that allowed a Black Lives Matter protest organizer to be sued by a police officer injured by an unknown assailant.
The 2016 incident in Baton Rouge, La., followed the shooting death of Alton Sterling by a white police officer, which triggered weeks of protests across the U.S.
The officer, identified as John Doe, was struck in the face by a rock. He sued DeRay Mckesson, a Black Lives Matter activist, on the theory that he “knew or should have known … that violence would result.”
The officer, who suffered injuries to his brain, jaw and teeth, also sued Black Lives Matter. That was tossed out on the theory that BLM is a social movement and cannot be sued.
McKesson rose to prominence as an activist in the BLM movement during protests in Ferguson, Mo., following the August 2014 shooting death of Black teen Michael Brown by a white police officer.
The American Civil Liberties Union took up Mckesson's cause after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, based in New Orleans, reversed a district judge's ruling and ruled the lawsuit could go forward.
The Supreme Court, in an unsigned opinion, said that appeals court should not have reached its ruling, based on free speech rights, without a clear understanding of Louisiana law. They sent the case back for further review.
"The Fifth Circuit should not have ventured into so uncertain an area of tort law — one laden with value judgments and fraught with implications for First Amendment rights — without first seeking guidance on potentially controlling Louisiana law from the Louisiana Supreme Court," the justices said.
Associate Justice Clarence Thomas dissented from the ruling. New Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett did not participate in the case.

“In meetings in recent months, a Deutsche Bank management committee that oversees reputational and other risks for the lender in the Americas region has discussed ways in which it could

As the world watches US election,
the appeal of America is diminished
The 2020 election symbolically aligns with
a paradigm shift in the world order, a disassembling of western and more particularly American dominance.
What is at stake here is
the idea of the US as the world’s leading nation,
an idea that forcefully shaped “the American Century” and
is now fast dissolving.
By almost all quantitative measures the US’s global standing has plummeted since the election of Trump and this downward spiral is more often than not associated with his leadership.
the number of countries with a favorable view of the US is “as low as it has been at any point since the Center began polling on this topic nearly two decades ago.”
link the decline in confidence in American leadership to Trump’s mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, both nationally and internationally.
the US’s maligned and depleted image and influence in the world today.
the images of domestic turmoil that travel swiftly in real time:
scenes of overworked healthcare workers (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/15/us-nurses-doctors-mental-health-coronavirus),
of mass demonstrations over the police killings of African-Americans,
of armed vigilantes challenging pandemic orders,
The first presidential debate provoked shock and dismay in international news media (https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54354405).
a widespread and increasing sense of European disillusionment with the US, centred on Trump but also pointing to an acceleration of American decline.
“European attitudes to Americans are shifting from envy to compassion.” (https://www.ft.com/content/8ed8fca1-ce5f-4d41-bd0d-6c4622bdc987?fbclid=IwAR0MqooIw7SK39w8yaQmpg9isXOz GZMxo66yYZpmTxGNhUxAd7peh-vS_00)
a deep but barely coherent disinvestment in the fantasy of “America” as a liberal and redemptive power, :lol
one that acts on behalf of a global common good. :lol
a fantasy that dramatises and idealises American narratives – the stock example being “the American Dream”
The fantasy is now fast unravelling as the American Century comes to an end.
the US is losing its power to communicate, and is no longer seen as a cultural or political beacon.
The common measurement of this is the claim that
American soft power, understood as the power to attract rather than coerce, has been greatly reduced (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/25/opinion/trump-soft-power.html),
not least because Trump and his administration eschew it as irrelevant to the promotion of “America First”.
Cultural power takes many forms and the US continues to provide cultural and political influence across the world,
A recent example is the global impact of the protests for racial justice and the international spread of the Black Lives Matter movement.
the US has fomented a cultural backlash (https://www.vox.com/conversations/2017/3/27/15037232/trump-populist-appeal-culture-economy) both against liberal democracy at home and the liberal world order abroad.

the federal bench is construed as being somewhat analogous to retail management status, wherein the collective bargaining right is contractually waived.
A federal labor authority Tuesday ruled to strip the collective bargaining powers of a national union representing more than 450 U.S. immigration judges that has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration’s policies.
The Federal Labor Relations Authority sided with the U.S. Justice Department in saying that immigration judges hold a position akin to management and therefore do not have a right to collective bargaining.

Well we have elected 2 of 3 dumbasses to be president the last 20 years. The first time it was Bush who was awful and I'm sure the world could dismiss it as a fluke. Now with electing Trump it's clear it was no fluke that we are dumb nation to the rest of the world. We are always one republican president way from doing awful things.

Inside the ballot-counting process in Pennsylvania

Election office workers process ballots at the Allegheny County elections returns warehouse in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on November 6. Gene J. Puskar/AP
There are still approximately 35,000 outstanding mail-in ballots in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania,
but results could start coming in today, CNN's Brian Todd reports from an elections warehouse in Pittsburgh.
"Some of those were postmarked before Election Day, some were postmarked on Election Day. They're arriving and they didn't start counting until after Election Day," Todd reports.
Inside the election warehouse in Pittsburgh, Todd described the vote counting process.
"These are the people doing the most critical work. They're called the return board," he explained.
"They're counting ballots right now. Right now, the ballots that we're told they're counting are from military members overseas ... who have registered to vote in this county. Earlier, they went through damaged ballots," Todd said.
He added that the return board members had counted about 3,000 damaged ballots of the 35,000 outstanding ballots. "We're told they have about 3,500 military and overseas ballots that they're going through," Todd also noted.
There are an additional 29,000 other ballots that need to be counted as well, which are being segregated because they had the "wrong information put on them when they were mailed out. That was corrected," Todd said.
"They were re-mailed out and then people mailed them back, but because of that issue, by court order, they've got to be counted starting at 5 p.m. ET today," Todd explained.
Todd explained that there is an observer watching the voting process from behind.
"Very transparent process," Todd said,
noting that there are cameras mounted in the room and monitors showing the voting process.

Trash says it's totally fraudulent counting process and therefore he is the winner.
