Laelth's JournalThank you.
All my instincts say were looking at a Biden/Harris landslide and liberal government in 2021. It will be a challenge to eliminate the filibuster, but it can be done if President Biden and Vice President Harris commit to it and TWIST all the necessary arms to make it happenLBJ-style. Expanding the SCOTUS is a little tougher, but it can be done because it makes sensethe SCOTUS has too few judges to deal with its current caseload, and it would de-politicize the Court if it were expanded. A vacancy on a 21-member Court would not create the kind of political crisis that we now see when the Court has a single vacancy.
Give me those two things and the United States will soon make a huge, liberal leap toward achieving its declared destiny ... a land of freedom with liberty and justice FOR ALL (including economic justice).

Both candidates failed to answer the question regarding ...
... the essential nature of the relationship between the United States and China (adversary, ally, trading partner, or what?). Both candidates ducked this question. I dont blame them for ducking the question, personally.
What do you think? What SHOULD be the essential nature of our relationship with China? How should we describe it? What should our diplomatic posture be?

"He can't protect the country. He couldn't even protect himeslf."
Panic in the West Wing following Trumps hospitalization for COVID-19.
Inside the West Wings narrow corridors, where staffers for months have worked in proximity largely without masks, what had long been an atmosphere of invincibility turned into one of apprehension and panic. People are losing their minds, said the outside adviser.
First, aides fretted about their own risks of exposure. If the president got infected, so might they. Then they considered the political implications, coming so close to the Nov. 3 election. We dont want to be talking about coronavirus and now were talking about coronavirus, the outside adviser said.
The hit writes itself: He cant protect the country. He couldnt even protect himself.
Then they considered the reality that the president could actually get very sick. Trump was unusually quiet Friday, not appearing before cameras nor even calling into Fox News Channel by phone, as he does from time to time.

Serves them right. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Obviously, this is quite serious.
11:17 AM: McCarthy says Trump sufficiently denounced white supremacist groups during debate.
Source: Washington Post
Well, I think the president has been very clear that hes against anybody committing violence in the streets, McCarthy said when asked about Trumps remarks. He pointed to the presidents recent pledge to designate the Ku Klux Klan and the loosely organized antifa movement as terrorist organizations.
I was concerned when I listened to Joe Biden try to claim that antifa was not a group, McCarthy continued. I dont know whats on the streets then. I dont know whats causing a lot of these problems.
Pressed further about Trumps comments specifically his stand back and stand by remark McCarthy doubled down on his defense of the president, saying Trump clearly denounced white supremacist groups in his initial response to moderator Chris Wallace.

This is pathetic. The Proud Boys are celebrating. They heard Trump loud and clear.

If you can't condemn White Supremacy in the United States, in 2020, YOU SUCK!
And you have no business being in ANY position of power in this multi-racial, multi-cultural society.
Thats it. End of story.

SHELLSHOCKED after the debate? You are not alone. That was ABUSE.
Nicolle Wallace explains how Trump's debate behavior (toward Biden, Chris Wallace, the American People, and the World) was abusive, and it was intentional.

I nominate General James Mattis for Secretary of Defense in the Biden administration.
If you have read Bob Woodwards book, Rage, you will fully understand. Mattis is a true patriot, the epitome of what it means to be a GOOD public servant and a tireless steward of Americas military might who is committed to civilian control of the military.
I dont know whether or not this is what the author intended, but Mattis is the STAR of the first half of Woodwards latest book.

"Superspreader" (A beautiful nod to Stevie Wonder's "Superstition")
This is insane, but its happening. Trump lied, and people died. He keeps lying, and more people are dying.
It is what it is. - DJT
