Seriously... is anyone this stupid?

| The rioting is being done by white supremacists fueled by Trump |
- So the ad fades into a classic riot, then cuts to Joe Biden telling everyone that rioting is not protesting and that rioters should be arrested and held accountable...
- Then it cuts to a scene which shows people marching, but the people marching are obviously being depicted not as blm or antifa members, but as white supremacists.
- Then Joe Biden tells everyone that Donald Trump is to blame and that he refuses to call out his own supporters for these riots and their responsibility for them.
- He then explains how he will be able to barter an end to the violence and destruction, which is only apparently being caused by Donald Trump "fanning the flames" and his supporters causing all the problems.
By creating an ad that blames Trump supporters and Trump for these riots and not mentioning either blm or antifa, Joe is quite literally doing what he is accusing Trump of doing. Not calling out his own side for their actions.
Is this the new normal?
Liberals openly lie and we demand that it's politically incorrect (or even racist) to call them on it? It's not just this ad, but it's everything having to do with blm and antifa right now. Literally nothing that happens anymore can be reported as it is. There seems to be a requirement of at least one big lie, which generally is the sort of lie that attempts to change complexion of the situation in order to shift blame.
Whether that lie is "hands up, don't shoot" or the "no-knock warrant" that wasn't a no-knock warrant, or calling a neck restraint a "choke hold", hiding drug toxicology reports from the public, or claiming Jacob Blake was just breaking up a fight rather than breaking into his ex's house or just wanting to peacefully drive off in his SUV rather than steal his ex's SUV... America apparently cannot just tell the truth anymore.
News flash: If the truth is not on your side, then justice can never be either.

His lies and anti-scientific advice and intentional downplaying of the coronavirus pandemic has led to countless American deaths.
He is callous and cold and unfeeling because he has no conscience.
He denigrates and humiliates anyone and everyone in his path.
He has no respect for military heroes or renowned experts.
He is racist and xenophobic.
He incites violence and culture wars.
He is obsessed with power and adoration.
He is a greedy opportunist.
He is corrupt to the core.
Now Trump is desperate to win re-election. He does not want to lose his hold on power for a number of reasons, most notably his insatiable thirst for attention. He is afraid of facing criminal charges once he leaves office. He is already essentially an unindicted co-conspirator in a campaign finance crime. He knows he is lawless and corrupt; that is why he lies about it so frequently and fervently.
Donald Trump in the White House
Trump will do absolutely anything — no matter how untruthful or illegal or immoral — to win this election. He has already compromised the Postal Service.
Trump will declare victory as soon as he can, even if millions of ballots have not been counted. If need be, he will challenge the election results so that the Supreme Court will ultimately choose him for a second term. In fact, he has openly admitted that he wants to immediately replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg because of the upcoming election. Trump’s desire to sabotage our election process is the behavior of a dictator.
Trump is letting the Russians intervene on his behalf in this election. They are doing so. Before Trump, such an invitation would have been considered treasonous and criminal.
Plus the polls show he is losing in a landslide

The boyfriend stated that Taylor and he both believed it was a "trick" and that it was actually Taylor's ex-boyfriend rather than the police.

September 24, 2020 at 4:50 PM EDT
Wednesday’s announcement from Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron about criminal charges in the Breonna Taylor case set off a frenzy of misinformation on social media. Based on what we do know — which I’ve culled from my own reporting, reporting from the New York Times and the Louisville Courier-Journal, as well as from conversations with the lawyers for Taylor’s family — the decision to charge Detective Brett Hankison with wanton endangerment was probably correct, as was the decision not to charge the other officers involved in the shooting. If ballistics had conclusively shown that one of the bullets from Hankison’s gun killed Taylor, he could be charged with reckless homicide, but according to Cameron, the bullets that struck Taylor could not be matched to Hankison’s gun. There’s the problem that the police who conducted the raid were relying on a warrant procured by another officer, which was then signed by a judge. There were many flaws and abrogations in that process, but it would be unfair and not legal to hold them accountable for any of that.
But “not illegal” should not mean “immune from criticism.” Part of the problem was Cameron himself, who was selective in what information he released to the point of misleading the public about key facts in the case. (This raises real questions about whether the grand jury was also misled. That’s why an attorney for Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker, who fired at the police during the raid, is demanding that Cameron release the evidence that was presented to the grand jury.)
Furthermore, Taylor’s death was not, as Cameron suggested, simply a tragedy for which no one is to blame. The police work in this case was sloppy, and the warrant service was reckless. Taylor is dead because of a cascade of errors, bad judgment and dereliction of duty. And it’s important that the record on this be clear. So here are some correctives for the misinformation I’ve seen online:
“This was not a no-knock warrant.”
It absolutely was. It says so right on the warrant. Moreover, the portion of the warrant authorizing a no-knock entry cited only cut-and-pasted information from the four other warrants that were part of the same investigation. This is a violation of a requirement set by the Supreme Court that no-knock warrants should be granted when police can present evidence that a particular suspect is a risk to shoot at police or destroy evidence if they knock and announce. They didn’t do that.
The police claim they were told after the fact to disregard the no-knock portion and instead knock and announce themselves, because, by that point, someone had determined that Taylor was a “soft target” — not a threat, and not a major player in the drug investigation. But there are problems with this account. If Taylor was a “soft target,” why not surround the house, get on a megaphone, and ask her to come out with her hands up? Why still take down her door with a battering ram? Why still serve the warrant in the middle of the night?

The real story is the President is a threat to the American dream
The Republican Party is sealing its fate.
While President Trump refuses to guarantee a peaceful transfer of power, his vassals in the Senate are moving quickly to guarantee that Trump’s latest Supreme Court justice will be on the court in time to swing the results of any election challenge. GOP leaders, of course, have the constitutional right to jam through a vote, but any victory they secure in the coming confirmation fight will be Pyrrhic.
Washington insiders have long considered Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to be a shameless and cynical operator. But the Kentucky Republican’s actions over the past four years have so radicalized the Supreme Court selection process that Democrats will surely respond to McConnell’s extreme partisanship once back in power. During Trump’s presidency, “the world’s greatest deliberative body” has been reduced to a crude vote-counting chamber; this new legislative reality means Democrats would need only 50 senators and one president to pack the Supreme Court in 2021. Expect that to happen, since McConnell’s callous response to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death will speed the GOP toward a permanent minority status.
To be fair, the Republican Party’s future was already grim; White resentment doesn’t mix well with revolutionary demographic change. And the appointment of yet another Trump justice before the election will only further alienate Republicans from women, suburban voters and independents.
It should be noted that when discussing the judicial nominating process, Rome was not burned in a day. The court wars have been running hot since Reagan nominee Robert Bork was vilified on the Senate floor as a champion of segregated lunch counters and back-alley abortions less than an hour after his nomination. With decades of inglorious history as a backdrop, Trump will soon nominate a judge for the highest court in the land with the goal of ending health-care coverage for millions and reversing almost 50 years of pro-choice precedent. But before Democrats submit to despair, they should remember wisdom I recall Illinois Sen. Paul Simon imparting upon his retirement: “In politics, sometimes when you win, you lose; and sometimes when you lose, you win.”
I was reminded of the late senator’s words when my phone began ringing after Ginsburg’s death. Democrats were inconsolable at the loss of their legal hero and believed her death would guarantee Trump’s reelection. Democrats always seem predisposed to assume the worst, but they should look more closely at the dynamics of this Supreme Court fight. The GOP’s brutish moves will end in defeat for Trump, McConnell and the Republican Party’s most endangered senators.
The biggest political loser will be Susan Collins. Maine’s senior senator spent her political career posing as a pro-choice moderate. But when the future of Roe v. Wade hung in the balance in 2018, Collins backed Brett M. Kavanaugh’s nomination. That flip-flop transformed Collins from the most popular Republican in the Senate chamber to the least — her approval rating in Maine was a towering 78 percent in 2015; after she voted for Kavanaugh, it fell to 42. Maine’s maladroit senator promised voters that the new justice would respect precedent. But Kavanaugh quickly made Collins look foolish when he voted to undermine Roe this year.
Trump likewise made a liar of the Maine senator after she voted to acquit him of all impeachment charges because, as she explained, “the president has learned from this case.” Soon the “newly educated” president fired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman for the sin of testifying truthfully to Congress, interfered in confidant Roger Stone’s sentencing and encouraged congressional allies to launch a partisan investigation of Joe Biden. Now the prospects of another anti-choice justice on the court will only remind voters of all this.
Sen. Cory Gardner will meet a similar fate in Colorado, where the endangered GOP incumbent is already bleeding support from suburban voters and women. Iowa’s Joni Ernst is running in a state where 25 percent of Trump’s voters identified themselves as pro-choice in 2016. Ernst, North Carolina’s Thom Tillis and Montana’s Steve Daines will also feel the wrath of the constituencies Trump is alienating.
Still, the impact on Trump himself will likely be greater. The Kaiser Family Foundation polled Americans this year and found that 69 percent opposed the overturning of Roe; only 29 percent support its reversal. That is a political gantlet that only this president would charge through weeks before an election.
The collateral damage caused by Trump and McConnell’s strategic misstep will contribute to the president’s defeat and a Democratic majority in the Senate next year. The long-term impact on cases involving health-care coverage and abortion rights will likely be muted by the Democratic Senate’s response to McConnell’s brinkmanship. The Kentucky senator’s guiding principle of “might makes right” will soon be turned against him, and all his hard work destroying political norms in the U.S. Senate will be for naught.
It simply could not possibly be this one that Trump so graciously made for him:

The U-Haul truck captured on video distributing riot gear for Louisville protesters following a grand jury decision in the Breonna Taylor case was reportedly tied to the Louisville Bail Initiative, a left-wing activist group stacked with George Soros Justice Fellows.
Almost immediately after the grand-jury announcement, protesters swarmed a U-Haul truck in a parking lot and took out riot gear, weapons, gas masks, and anti-police signs to use during clashes with police.
Time to RICO
Well Rog...
Perhaps you can get right down to the Grand Jury and provide them your evidence that the police did not knock or identify themselves. Because there is actual sworn third party witness testimony at this point that they did and that is sort of what Grand Juries tend to believe (sworn third party witness testimony). Not to discount the testimony of Walker (the boyfriend who opened fire on the police) which was basically that they believed it was the ex-boyfriend attempting to break in.
But if they knew that there was a differing opinion from a feeble minded old commenter on an obscure blog, I am sure they would reverse their decision. Very quickly.
The story the formerly Coldheartedtruth would have covered.
It would have been unthinkable, not long ago, for a White House to have to issue such a clarification. Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany averred Thursday that President Trump “will accept the results of a free and fair election.” Ms. McEnany was not rebutting some kind of fevered left-wing conspiracy theory but the president’s own words. “We’re going to have to see what happens,” Mr. Trump said Wednesday when asked whether he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power. “Get rid of the ballots and you’ll have a very peaceful — there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation,” he said.
Sadly, there’s a limit to how much reassurance Ms. McEnany can provide. Mr. Trump will reserve to himself the right to determine whether the election is “free and fair,” and he has already said the only way he could lose is through fraud. Mr. Trump and Attorney General William P. Barr have pre-spun the results by fanning conspiracy theories about mail-in ballots. “Get rid of the ballots” means curbing the mail-in voting that large numbers of Democrats say they will use this year.
There’s a touch, but only a touch, more reassurance to be had from the mild condemnations that Republicans issued following the president’s antidemocratic statement. There is some comfort in the fact that they said anything at all; such things are not guaranteed these days. But it is easy for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to say that “the winner of the November 3rd election will be inaugurated on January 20th.” It may take more gumption for them to do the right thing after their president has spun a narrative of massive electoral fraud.
The most distinct danger, in other words, is not that Mr. Trump will refuse to cede power after unambiguously losing. It is plausible he will lead in key states on the evening of Nov. 3, based on an advantage in in-person voting — and that his lead will then diminish or disappear as mailed ballots are counted. If he falsely portrays the shift or the delay as scandalous, will Republicans stand up for democracy and the truth? Or will they support him as he seeks to do what he has openly said he intends — to “get rid of the ballots”?
A president with a modicum of decency would seek to reduce national tensions and assure Americans that the government is working to ensure that every American has a fair opportunity to vote. During a pandemic, that would mean acknowledging that many more Americans will want to vote by mail, which was not controversial until Mr. Trump decided it might hurt his chances. It would mean explaining that the shift toward mail-in voting might make things feel different — full results will not be available on election night, for example — but assuring people that this is not evidence of fraud.
That is not the president we have. So it falls to others — Democrats and, we hope, Republicans — to explain and explain again. Mail-in and early voting are safe and appropriate. The winner may not be known on election night. It is more important that every vote be counted. Vote, be patient, and do not be swayed by the president’s lies.
I really have to wonder why Ch doesn't just give us a link to the ad he refers to in his thread article.
Is he afraid it might look too good and reasonable to us and other readers?
McConnell Won’t Attend Ceremony Honoring RBG
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is on the “list of regrets” for the ceremony honoring Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the Capitol today, where she is the first woman ever to lie in state, NBC News reports.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is also not expected to attend.
___________
I guess they don't want to hear references to her "most fervent wish" or chants from somewhere to "vote him out."
Pentagon Worries Trump May Pull Military Into Election
“Senior Pentagon leaders have a lot to worry about — Afghanistan, Russia, Iraq, Syria, Iran, China, Somalia, the Korean Peninsula. But chief among those concerns is whether their commander in chief might order American troops into any chaos around the coming elections,” the New York Times reports.
“The concerns are not unfounded. The Insurrection Act, a two-century-old law, enables a president to send in active-duty military troops to quell disturbances over the objections of governors.”
Obama Endorses Warnock In Georgia Jungle Primary
“Barack Obama endorsed Raphael Warnock’s (D) U.S. Senate campaign, becoming the latest Democrat to rally behind the pastor’s challenge to Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R) as pressure mounts on his rivals to drop out of the free-for-all race,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
“The development comes as Warnock aims to consolidate Democrats behind his campaign – and his allies urge Matt Lieberman (D), another Democrat in the contest, to abandon his bid.”
Michigan Moves to Ease Processing of Absentee Ballots
“Michigan lawmakers voted Thursday to made it easier for clerks to process a surge in absentee ballots in the battleground state’s presidential election by letting them start a day earlier than normal,” the AP reports.
GOOD!
The Democratic governor of Kentucky has said that he wants the evidence that was presented to the grand Jury investigation, so the public can see why they decided to not indict the police officers who killed Breanna Taylor.
Insults are all you have. a differing opinion from a feeble minded old commenter on an obscure blog,

Release the Transcripts
Well Rog...
Whether or not it was written as knock or no knock by the Judge is irrelevant. There is no testimony provided to the Grand Jury that suggests that the police officers did not knock or identify themselves. All testimony from everyone involved as well as neighbors in the apartment building have testified that the police knocked.
Seriously Roger... they knocked. That is a fact. Undisputed in front of a Grand Jury. Nobody associated first hand with this case is arguing differently.
Your argument... that the Judge provided a no-knock warrant is somehow an indictment of something makes no sense.
In fact it actually proves that the Police officers in question were actually showing additional restraint and deference to the safety of everyone by knocking first (when they legally didn't have to).
Donald Trump’s astonishing suggestion at a campaign rally last weekend that the US president will deploy government lawyers to try to hit the brakes on the counting of ballots on election night relies on the complicity of one federal official more than any other.
Trump’s most powerful ally in undermining the election: William Barr
That official is attorney general William Barr, who, as leader of the justice department, directs the army of government lawyers who would sue to halt the counting of votes.
Conveniently for Trump’s stated plan, Barr appears not only ready to acquiesce, he seems eager to bring the lawsuits, having laid groundwork for challenging the election with weeks of misleading statements about the integrity of mail-in voting.
To some observers, the attorney general appears to have also laid the groundwork for a further alarming step, one that would answer the question of what action the Trump administration is prepared to take if a contested election in November gives rise to large new protests.
In order for Trump to steal the election and then quell mass demonstrations – for that is the nature of the nightmare scenario now up for open discussion among current and former officials, academics, thinktankers and a lot of other people – Trump must be able to manipulate both the levers of the law and its physical enforcement.

Joe Biden said Wednesday that his campaign had convened a group of 600 lawyers and thousands of volunteers to prepare for any “chicanery” that might disrupt or interfere with the November election.
“We’re continuing to fight any effort to exploit the pandemic for political purposes, support the countless state and local officials working like hell to make voting safe and accessible for citizens, especially the most vulnerable, or call out local rules that don’t adequately ensure access to vote,” Biden said during a fundraiser on Wednesday night.

KEY FACTS
The list of nearly 500 signatories includes retired generals, admirals, senior noncommissioned officers, ambassadors and senior civilian national security leaders.
“We are former public servants who have devoted our careers, and in many cases, risked our lives, for the United States. We are Republicans, Democrats and Independents. We love our country,” the letter reads. “Unfortunately, we also fear for it.”
The letter is signed by 22 retired four-star military officers (including Navy Adm. Samuel Locklear and Adm. Harry Ulrich), as well as retired Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, who served as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs under President Donald Trump until stepping down in 2019.
The group, National Security Leaders for Biden, said that Trump “has demonstrated he is not equal to the enormous responsibilities of his office; he cannot rise to meet challenges large or small.”
The letter adds, “Thanks to his disdainful attitude and his failures, our allies no longer trust or respect us, and our enemies no longer fear us.”
Last week, 235 retired U.S. military leaders published an open letter supporting President Trump in what they described as arguably “the most important election since our country was founded.”
KEY BACKGROUND:
A report published in The Atlantic earlier this month claimed, citing four senior staffers, that President Trump refused to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France in 2018 because he regarded the dead World War I veterans as “suckers” and “losers.” “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers,” Trump reportedly said. The president and White House have called The Atlantic “fake news” and a “total lie.” While campaigning for president in 2015, Trump called the late John McCain a “loser.” “I like people who weren’t captured,” Trump declared.
CRUCIAL QUOTE:
“While some of us may have different opinions on particular policy matters, we trust Joe Biden’s positions are rooted in sound judgment, thorough understanding and fundamental values,” National Security Leaders for Biden wrote in their letter. “We know Joe Biden has the experience and wisdom necessary to navigate America through a painful time.”

They aren't suckers and losers
He's lost his mind.
He used to be a conservative libertarian normal person, but he's been brainwashed by the President
Well Roger...
By your own cut and paste, long before the police presented the warrant to Taylor, they were told to treat is as if it was not a "no-knock warrant" because it was determined that Taylor was not considered dangerous.
So whether or not it was written originally to be no-knock, there was never an intention for the Police to treat the warrant as anything but normal and according to pretty much everyone they did identify themselves.
So to say that they went to her door with a no-knock warrant is by all practical purposes a lie by omission and a blatant attempt to mislead. They were under orders to knock (which means that they no longer had a no-knock warrant).
I am curious if you read your own cut and paste?
Moreover, the police served several warrants in regards to Taylor's ex boyfriend (who listed Taylor's apt as his address and was still having parcels delivered there within a couple of weeks of the search) that very same night. Obviously they are going to do this all in the same night, since not doing so sort of misses the point of a surprise warrant.
Which answers the question as to why they were there after midnight. That would have been standard and routine police practice. To do all of the relevant searches as close to simultaneously as they could. Certainly not wait for the next day as a matter of not waking someone up.
So as a matter of full disclosure and honesty... it is not a lie to repute the actual lie that they went there with a no-knock warrant and just busted the door down without knocking. That situation did not happen. Period. End of subject.
You still demanding it did... is silly at this point.

MESSAGE TO REPUBLICANS
I am proud to say I have been a Republican all my life. My first campaign was as a teenage volunteer for Barry Goldwater in 1964. When I attended college at Northern, I had the honor of working for Congressman Ben Reifel as a Field Rep, and was selected as the Outstanding College Young Republican in 1967.
After college, I was drafted into Army and proudly served my country in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne. I was awarded the Army Commendation Medal and the Bronze Star.
In 1972, I was elected SD State Treasurer on the Republican ticket. I would be re-elected 4
times. I also had the good fortune to serve for eight years in Governor Bill Janklow’s state cabinet. In 1976 I was President Ford’s state chairman.
I provide this background not to blow my own horn, but I fear that once my letter is published there will be charges that I am RINO (Republican In Name Only). Nope, not true, simply put I do not support Trump, and I am a patriotic American.
I have not abandoned either the Republican party or my country in my opposition to Donald Trump. In fact, it is my firm opinion, and fear, that those who have joined the Party of Trump are the ones who have abandoned the GOP -- its history and its principles.
Two former Republican presidents that I admire the most are Abraham Lincoln, who defeated the Confederacy in the Civil War, and Dwight Eisenhower, who defeated the Nazis in WWII. Yet, whenever Trumpers gather you will see countless Confederate flags and Nazi Swastikas. (See below)
To me, and Republicans like me, it is my hope that soon, once this Party of Trump has been defeated, we can once again reclaim our party and restore it to what it was in lieu of this current nightmare.
I won’t list all of the ways Trump has failed this country over the last four years, won’t underscore the chaos he has brought. Yet, only recently his remarks about veterans and his lies about the dangers of Covid are prime examples of his term in office.
Finally, this message is not directed towards those who have abandoned the Republican party for allegiance to Trump. Regretably, nothing about Trump and his disastrous leadership will change their mind.
However, to any and all loyal and thoughtful Republicans -- I urge you to vote for change on November 3rd. This is clearly one of the most important elections in the history of America. Put your country first. Vote to end the failed, corrupt and chaotic reign of Donald Trump.

oh hey David.
did you know there was a psychotic alcoholic fool names Roger Amick - AKA Agolf Twitler - who is copy/pasting your screed on a relatively obscure political blog?
yeah, like you he suffers from stage IVTDS.

The list of nearly 500 signatories includes retired generals, admirals, senior noncommissioned officers, ambassadors and senior civilian national security leaders.
Probably similar to that recent program showing "uncommitted voters" which included multiple Democrats who had been using social media for nearly four years to demean and call the President names.
Guess what? Yep, all of those uncommitted Trump hater Democrats decided after the focus group to vote for Biden. Boy is he doing great convincing those undecideds, huh?
Her boyfriend heard them knock the door open. Because they had no identified themselves, he fired one round.
The police officers fired multiple rounds and killed her in her bedroom.
The family wants the transcript of the grand jury proceedings.
Only then can we know what they presented to the grand jury, so we can be sure exactly what happened in the Jury hearings and the information on the officers testimony.
Boy is he doing great convincing those undecideds, huh?
well, i think Slow Joe has the dementia/alzheimers vote locked up...
...provided they can remember what day is election day and where their polling place is.
Military veterans rarely speak out on political issues.
You believe that they have TDS so you can discredit them because they spoke out against the President.
Brainwashed
Look it up
Because they had no identified themselves, he fired one round.
now you're just flat-out fucking LYING alky.
a witness under sworn testimony corroborated the police account that they DID identify themselves.
what kind of a goddamned fool, other than you perhaps, would be stupid enough to LIE to a grand jury knowing the penalty for doing so???
Many of them had worked for George W Bush and Trump.

VETERANS FOR TRUMP
President Donald J. Trump has done more for our nation’s heroes than has any other President in history. In 2016, President Trump campaigned on giving our great veterans the care, benefits, and respect they deserve, which is why he won their votes by a 2 to 1 margin. Veterans for Trump will highlight how President Trump has delivered on his promise to reform the VA, including signing key veterans legislation like the VA MISSION Act and the Forever GI Bill. Beyond that, the Trump economy has led to the lowest unemployment rate among veterans EVER. Re-electing the President ensures that veterans will have a leader in the White House who will fight for those who have answered the call to defend our great country. Together, with President Trump, we will Keep America Great!
235 SENIOR MILITARY LEADERS ENDORSE PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, CONDEMN JOE BIDEN’S RECORD ON SERVICE MEMBERS AND VETERANS
After years of neglect from the Obama-Biden Administration, our service members and veterans have finally found a strong advocate in President Trump. The Trump Administration has rebuilt the military, completely overhauled the Department of Veterans Affairs, and launched groundbreaking initiatives to assist military families and prevent veteran suicide. In contrast, Joe Biden's record on the military and veterans is one of failure: debilitating budget cuts, failed foreign policy decisions, and an inability to provide our nation's heroes with the quality healthcare they deserve. Today, 235 senior military leaders endorsed President Donald J. Trump's re-election and refuted Joe Biden's failed liberal agenda:
"The 2020 election affords the American people an urgently needed opportunity to affirm their devotion to the Constitution of the United States and to the American way of life. As senior leaders of America’s military, we took an oath to defend the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic. At present, our country is now confronted with enemies here and abroad, as well as a once in a century pandemic. As retired military officers, we believe that Donald J. Trump has been tested as few other presidents have and is the proven leader to confront these dangers."

President Donald Trump lashed out once again at Fox News after the network’s latest poll showed him losing to Democratic nominee Joe Biden in key states like Pennsylvania and Ohio.
“One of the worst polls in 2016 was the @FoxNews Poll. They were so ridiculously wrong. Fox said they were going to change pollsters, but they didn’t. They totally over sample Democrats to a point that a child could see what is going on. Rasmussen, which was accurate, at 52%,” wrote the president on Twitter.
The new poll, released Thursday, shows Biden at 52% in Nevada while Trump is at 41%. In Ohio, Biden had 50% and Trump and 45%. Pennsylvania earned Biden 51% and Trump 44%. A majority of respondents in each state were displeased with Trump’s handling of the coronavirus and indicated they’d prefer Biden to make the next Supreme Court nominee.

Trump Has Lost Patience with CDC Head
“President Trump has lost patience with the head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, as well as with the other public health experts on his coronavirus team because their sober messaging on the future of the pandemic clashes with his rosy assessments,” CNN reports.
“Trump believes that breakthroughs are not coming swiftly enough… Trump’s frustrations have caused some to question whether Redfield is on the chopping block, but a Trump adviser said they did not expect the President to make major staffing changes before the election.”
NO, BUT HEAD WOULD ROLL IF HE'S REELECTED, WHICH THANKFULLY IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
Documents Show Postal Executives Lied About Changes
“A senior executive at the U.S. Postal Service delivered a PowerPoint presentation in July that pressed officials across the organization to make the operational changes that led to mail backups across the country, seemingly counter to months of official statements about the origin of the plans,” according to internal documents obtained by the Washington Post.
*HEADS
that's nice, Agolf.
vets for Trump has a list TWICE as long. i was just being polite by not spamming the fucking blog with it.
look at what you've been reduced to alky. sitting here all day every day posting someone else's shit.
pathetic.
Democrats Regain Favorability Edge Over GOP
Gallup:
“Americans’ opinions of the Republican Party have soured since January but are similar to what they were a year ago. Meanwhile, Americans’ favorability ratings of the Democratic Party (47%) have been stable and again surpass those of the GOP (42%).”
“I fervently believe that military officers should not be involved in presidential politics, even when retired,” said Boyd, who is the only former POW to have reached four-star rank, and served as deputy commander of the U.S. European Command. “But this year is different. Donald Trump’s assault on the rule of law that makes a democracy possible has been so egregious I’ve decided to speak out. . . . We need to vote for Joe Biden this year. I’m going to vote for him. I hope you do, too.”
Trump has spoken often of what he believes is his support from the military, although earlier this month he said that some leaders at the Pentagon probably weren’t “in love with me.” Some military leaders, he said, “want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy.”
The troops, he indicated, were happy with him. His remarks came at a White House news conference after an article in the Atlantic quoted unnamed senior administration officials as saying Trump had called American troops “suckers” and “losers” for dying in battle.
A poll of active-duty service members conducted last month by Military Times, in conjunction with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University, indicated a drop in military support for Trump. It showed Biden with a 41 percent to 37 percent advantage over the president, with remaining active-duty service members saying they were planning either not to vote or to support a third-party candidate. A similarly timed survey by the Military Times in 2016 gave Trump a two-to-one advantage over Hillary Clinton.
The new letter, addressed “To Our Fellow Citizens,” says that Trump “has demonstrated he is not equal to the enormous responsibilities of his office; he cannot rise to meet challenges large or small. Thanks to his disdainful attitude and his failures, our allies no longer trust or respect us, and our enemies no longer fear us.
“Climate change continues unabated, as does North Korea’s nuclear program. The president has ceded influence to a Russian adversary who puts bounties on the heads of American military personnel, and his trade war against China has only harmed America’s farmers and manufacturers.”
Biden, it says, “has the character, principles, wisdom, and leadership necessary to address a world on fire. That is why Joe Biden must be the next President of the United States; why we vigorously support his election; and why we urge our fellow citizens to do the same.”
Retired Navy Adm. Charles S. “Steve” Abbot, who joined the newly formed National Security Leaders for Biden last spring and is part of its leadership team, served as commander of the U.S. Sixth Fleet and deputy commander of the U.S. European Command. After retiring from the military, he became deputy homeland security adviser to former president George W. Bush.
It was while he was in the White House during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Abbot said in an interview, that he gained “some appreciation for what it’s like in the White House when you have to deal with a major crisis. . . . I thought they did it with skill,” he said.
It was what he considered Trump’s leadership failures in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic that led him to speak out, Abbot said. “I think the ship of state is listing badly, and we need a new captain.”

Trump lost another battle on reality
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge has stopped the 2020 census from finishing at month's end and suspended a year-end deadline for delivering the numbers needed to decide how many seats each state gets in Congress.
The preliminary injunction granted by U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in California late Thursday orders the once-a-decade head count of every U.S. resident to continue through the end of October.
Koh said the shortened schedule ordered by the Trump administration likely would produce inaccurate results.
Her boyfriend heard them knock the door open. Because they had no identified themselves, he fired one round.
The police officers fired multiple rounds and killed her in her bedroom.
That is what YOU have been told by the media.
The Grand Jury was provided sworn testimony.
The shot fired by Walker struck officer Mattingly in the leg as he came through the door. The police returned fire from the doorway and into the hallway where the shots came from (as they are trained to do).
The police did not go into any Bedrooms and shoot anyone. They shot from the doorway as they entered. In fact the fatal shot was determined by ballistics to be from Cosgrove who was the second cop entering. There is no evidence or suggestion by anyone associated with the "real" investigation that suggests either police officer went into any bedrooms.
It's almost as if you want to make up a worst case scenario without any evidence what-so-ever and just pretend that the actual evidence presented to the grand jury (including all witness testimony) was all fake.
It doesn't even occur to you that it might be the "media" or "attorneys for Taylor and Walker" who are the ones not telling the whole truth or trying to rouse extra suspicion?
Just intellectually incapable of removing fact from fiction?
The media told me what to think.
You have lost your mind Scott
I look at things with an open mind, I come to my own opinions, I don't let my political beliefs to effect my conclusions.
Keep in mind that it was the Attorneys for Jacob Blake that spread the rumor that Blake was just there to break up a fight between two women, rather than what the 911 call and (again) all relevant testimony prove: That Jacob Blake had entered his Ex's place of residence without permission and against an order of protection.
The media reported it as fact and some in the media continue to report that the 911 call was in regards to this fictional fight between two women over a car accident.
The local police force took the unprecedented step of releasing the 911 call, the relevant facts, including the statement of fact that the silver SUV he attempted to get into was not even his vehicle.
I look at things with an open mind, I come to my own opinions
And where did you get your "opinion" that the Police engaged in a no-knock raid, since your own media source suggested that the Police were instructed to knock?
Where did you get the opinion that the police went into a bedroom to shoot Taylor since there is no evidence presented by anyone anywhere to suggest as such.
Did you look at the police reports?
Did you wait for the grand jury to make a judgement?
Where (other than the media) did you garner your information here?
More proof of a dangerous President and his staff.
The FBI Wray said under oath that there is no evidence of voter fraud at the national level.
From the hill.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows publicly attacked FBI Director Christopher Wray on Friday, a day after the director said there was no evidence to support claims of widespread voter fraud that have been pushed by President Donald Trump.
The rebuke by the president’s top aide of the leader of the nation’s premier law enforcement agency represents the latest escalation of the White House’s efforts to sow doubt about the outcome of the November election.
Advertisement
In an interview on “CBS This Morning,” Meadows was pressed on Wray’s testimony before a Senate committee on Thursday, during which the FBI director said bureau officials “have not seen, historically, any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it’s by mail or otherwise.”
Meadows rejected that finding on Friday morning, saying: “With all due respect to Director Wray, he has a hard time finding emails in his own FBI, let alone figuring out whether there’s any kind of voter fraud.”
Meadows’ criticism comes after the Justice Department announced on Thursday that it had begun an inquiry into nine military ballots in a northeastern Pennsylvania county that were found “discarded.” The department said seven of the ballots had been cast for Trump after initially saying all nine were in support of the president, and officials did not allege any particular crime or wrongdoing.
It is more of the deep state conspiracy theories are dominant in the administration.
Scott agrees because he's chosen to believe the President, no matter what he says. Cultism
Grand Jury testimony is secret.
Unless we can see the evidence we really can't come to a conclusion about it.

Scott, do you agree with this?
Republican Senator Proposes Bill That Would Make It Illegal to Count Votes
Sen. Rick Scott thinks we should have less than 48 hours to count ballots.
You have been avoiding this shit. It's not hyperbole, it's a clear and present danger to the Constitution. Trump could be President for life!
Last week, President Donald Trump said he was “counting on the federal court system to make it so” that whatever preliminary tally is complete on Election Day will be validated as the final vote count, meaning states would not have the opportunity to count the anticipated record-high numbers of mail-in ballots. This would functionally end American democracy. And it appears that other Republicans are going all in on the idea that we should just not count actual votes.
On Thursday, Florida Sen. Rick Scott proposed a bill that would change election laws with less than six weeks to go until November’s election, causing complete mayhem and ensuring that untold numbers of otherwise valid votes would not be counted. Scott’s proposal is simple and entirely unworkable. His Help America Vote Act of 2020 would require that mail-in ballots be counted within 24 hours of when voting closes on Election Day. Scott’s proposed legislation would also prevent mail-in ballots received prior to Election Day from being processed and counted until the morning of Nov. 3, contradicting state election statutes across the country including one that he signed when he was governor of Florida. Basically, the bill would move back the date by which votes can start to be counted and move up the date by which the count must end. This would limit the count to a single less-than-48-hour window, shortening the count in some cases by weeks. In Scott’s own home state of Florida, as one example, votes can start to be counted up to 22 days before Election Day. In Colorado, which does all mail-in voting, they can be processed as soon as they are received and counted 15 days before Election Day. Under Scott’s law, those votes would all have to begin to be counted on Election Day itself. Any votes that did not get counted simply would not count.

Well Roger...
This is the United States of America, is it not?
A place where you are innocent until proven guilty?
Can we agree on that?
You posted a link to a fake website showing the Vice President Biden had struggled to speak clearly it was total bullshit.
On Sept. 21, Steve Guest, rapid response director for the Republic National Committee, posted on Twitter an eight-second Trump campaign clip of a speech by Joe Biden with the comment, "Joe Biden completely botches the Pledge of Allegiance."
The clip was viewed more than 1.5 million times and generated comments regarding Biden's mental state.
Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry in Manitowoc, Wis., Monday, Sept. 21, 2020.
Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry in Manitowoc, Wis., Monday, Sept. 21, 2020.

It was subsequently posted twice on Facebook by The Political Insider, a conservative news and media website, which initially said, "This may be Joe Biden's most humiliating gaffe yet." It linked to an article by the publication that commented at length on the speech. On Sept. 24, the Facebook post was removed
Because it didn't go to trial they are innocent
Our rating: False
It is clear from a full viewing of Biden's speech that he was not attempting to recite the entire Pledge of Allegiance. The claim that he had botched it is unfounded. We rate that claim as FALSE.
AP news. I don't have a link
You didn't post the link to campaign videos, because they didn't say anything like you said
Because it didn't go to trial they are innocent
Then why is it your "opinion" that they are guilty?
Obviously no actual evidence has been presented by anyone actually with authority to present evidence that would suggest that they were guilty?
- They were pursuing a perfectly legal warrant.
- They were shot at by someone they didn't expect to be there.
- They shot back.
There is literally nothing remotely even improper or unwarranted about any of it.
Yet, you claim it is your opinion based entirely on things outside of what the media told you... that there is sufficient reason to charge them with murder.
But it seems as though you are at a loss to provide anything of substance that might explain why you have such an opinion... other than citing many fake media reports that offered bad allegations rather than facts.
Scott, do you agree with this?

Jell-o drink.
Washington (CNN)There is a pattern: President Donald Trump's campaign and its allies keep dishonestly snipping, editing or describing video clips of former Vice President Joe Biden to try to make the Democratic presidential nominee seem confused or senile.
They did it again early this week.
On Tuesday morning, the Trump campaign posted an eight-second video on Facebook that it titled "Joe Biden completely botches the Pledge of Allegiance." It was the same clip that was tweeted on Monday, with the same caption, by Republican National Committee rapid response director Steve Guest; Guest's tweet generated more than 13,500 retweets, at least 1.5 million video views and numerous comments questioning Biden's mental acuity.
The clip shows Biden saying this: "I pledge allegiance to the United States of America. One nation, indivisible, under God. For real."
If that was indeed Biden's attempt to recite the entire 31-word Pledge of Allegiance, it would indeed be wrong. But it wasn't.

- They were pursuing a perfectly legal warrant.
BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!! A report said the warrant was not valid ........Oh well, I am sure that info will eventually come out!!!!!
Scott lied about Then Joe Biden tells everyone that Donald Trump is to blame and that he refuses to call out his own supporters for these riots and their responsibility for them.
Aug. 25: Biden campaign spokeswoman Symone Sanders denounces “burning down communities and needless destruction” in Kenosha, Wis.
Aug. 26 at 3:04 p.m.: Biden says in a video and tweet, “Burning down communities is not protest, it’s needless violence — violence that endangers lives, violence that guts businesses, and shutters businesses that serve the community. That’s wrong.” He adds: “We need to end the violence — and peacefully come together to demand justice.”
Aug. 26 at 9:10 p.m.: Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) tweets a clip from an appearance on Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s show, alleging, “Joe Biden won’t call out the rioting & looting & burning around the nation b/c he’s in thrall to the Marxist Left.”
Biden had clearly called out the violence — citing “burning,” specifically — just a few hours prior.
He didn't blame the President

Trump and allies keep accusing Biden of not condemning violence — shortly after Biden condemns violence.

Scott, I have been deeply interested in politics and legal judgments and history for my entire life. I got interested when Kennedy and Nixon were running for president in 1960.
I try very hard to interpret what I see and read without prejudice
At Pentagon, Fears Grow That Trump Will Pull Military Into Election Unrest
Defense Department officials said top generals could resign if Mr. Trump ordered the active-duty military into the streets to quell election protests.
President Trump gave officials no solace on Wednesday and Thursday when he again refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power no matter who wins the election, and on Thursday, he doubled down by saying he was not sure the election could be “honest.” His hedging, along with his expressed desire in June to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to send active-duty troops onto American streets to quell protests over the killing of George Floyd, has incited deep anxiety among senior military and Defense Department leaders, who insist they will do all they can to keep the armed forces out of the elections.
“I believe deeply in the principle of an apolitical U.S. military,” General Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in written answers to questions from House lawmakers released last month. “In the event of a dispute over some aspect of the elections, by law, U.S. courts and the U.S. Congress are required to resolve any disputes, not the U.S. military. I foresee no role for the U.S. armed forces in this process.”
But that has not stopped an intensifying debate in the military about its role should a disputed election lead to civil unrest.

In regards to legal issues, I follow the evidence, without political bias.

So again Roger...
What evidence are you following to come to your conclusion?
Just want to know the plain cold facts that are guiding you.
I have provided mine, over and over.
You just duck and cover and shuck and jive.
Trumpets will drink the Koolaid like Jim Jones's followers!
So far Roger has just quoted a factually incorrect media article while claiming he gets no information from the media.
I said before that in order to come to a conclusion, we need the grand Jury evidence and possible prejudice in favor of the police officers.
I said before that in order to come to a conclusion, we need the grand Jury evidence and possible prejudice in favor of the police officers.
Grand Jury testimony (if there is no indictment) is sealed by nature and by requirement of the 5th amendment of the bill of rights. Unless an individual is to be criminally prosecuted (which would provide them with the chance to redeem their name in court) - they are entitled to their privacy in this matter. Otherwise prosecutors could simply use the media to trash people they do not care for, even if they do not have enough evidence to convince a grand jury to indict.
So no Roger... you are not entitled to see grand jury testimony nor is anyone else. What we know from the police reports and the police statements is what we will know. There is not going to be anything else coming down the line to provide you with what it is that you "want" to believe.
So bottom line Roger: This is over.
Tell us based on what you know and can prove.
Why are the cops guilty of murder?
