“The government chooses to persecute us for doing no more than exercising our right to defend ourselves, our home, our property and our family and now we’re getting drug here time after time after time and for what?”
There are politically motivated prosecutions, and then there are politically motivated prosecutions. The first rule of a prosecution is that you only prosecute cases that you believe you have a good chance to win. Prosecutions are not designed to "make a point" or otherwise used for any other reason than to put someone in jail.
This couple does not belong behind bars. They technically did everything that the law states they are allowed to do. The only way you can convict them of this particular crime is to demand that the State understands the motivation of the couple better than the couple does. The high burden of proof in this case is to prove (beyond reasonable doubt) that the couple's "intention" was not protecting their property, but rather to harass and cause "fear" in the minds of the protesters.
But in reality, this appears to be a matter of semantics and an attempt at turning the table and making the intruders the victim (which seems to be the point of liberal law enforcement lately). If you are allowed (as you are in Missouri) to own guns and to use them to protect yourself and your home, the question that is begged by these charges is how to do that without "striking fear" in the minds of the person(s) you believe are attempting to cause harm to you.
In other words, the prosecution (as a matter of logic) is stating that you can only wield your weapon with the intent to shoot someone in self defense. But if you were to pull a gun on a burglar and demand that he leave, then you would be in violation of the law in the same manner that the McCloskey couple is being charged with. The reason being is that you are using the gun "illegally" to strike fear in the minds of he burglar. The fact that this is part of the point of owning a gun to protect yourself seems to be missed by the prosecution.
So making it illegal to use your gun to scare someone off, only leaves the alternative to shoot that person instead. Is that really what the prosecution is attempting to
Moreover, this slippery slope could be applied to other similar situations. Perhaps putting up a sign that warns a potential burglar that you have a security system might cause similar fear of retribution if they attempted to burglarize your home. Same might be said for a beware of dog sign. A potential criminal might be fearful of being bitten or otherwise attacked by a dog, putting the homeowner in jeopardy of being charged with unlawful use of having a dog.
The reality here is that there is no way that you will convince 12 jurors that the McCloskey couple did not feel threatened or that the weapons were not being wielded in self defense (as in stay away from our property). People do not have the "right" to break into anyone else's property and they certainly have to right to so do without "fear". If this is what law and order will be like under liberal rule, then it will drive people away from the Democratic Party in waves.

a bowel movement perhaps. by all other measures they're an organized left wing marxist effort to destroy.
you've got Rose City Antifa, Antifa Seven Hills, Antifa Sacramento, Atlanta “Antifascists”... just to name a few. and that barely scratches the surface of organized and structured antifa presence across the nation.
Ace is on to something. had this "militia" (LOL) been antifa/BLM, Wray and his merry band of dirty cops at the FBI wouldn't have gone anywhere near them. but since he was peddling his white supremacist terror group fable on capitol hill recently, well lo and fucking behold... they just happened to slap this crew together to add 'credence' to the fable. throw in a laugh track and you've got a made for TV sitcom.
unlike you and the pederast alky, i'll be interested to see the "evidence" (LOL) the FBI has against these guys.
if it's anything like the "evidence" (BWWWAAAAA!!!) they had against Trump and his Russian collusion, these guys are not only going to walk, they'll file and win - a civil suit against the DOJ that will cost us million$.
it's a shame that no one can trust the FBI anymore. not that anyone really ever could mind you, but their latest fucking travesty with their attempted coup just received too much exposure.
win or lose, look for Trump to fire Wray right after election day.

On their official website, The Torch Network lists nine current official chapters as being part of its network. The chapters are autonomous, under devolved local leadership and each chapter agrees to abide by the "five principles" of Torch Antifa.[11] These nine chapters are Antifa Sacramento, Western North Carolina Antifa, Rocky Mountain Antifa (based in Denver, Colorado), Rose City Antifa (based in Portland, Oregon), Atlanta Antifascists, Pacific Northwest Antifascist Workers Collective (based in Oregon and Washington), Antifa Seven Hills (based in Richmond, Virginia), Central Texas Anti-Racist Action and Northern California Anti-Racist Action (NoCARA).[12]
In recent times,[when?] there has been an emerging crossover between these groups and the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) General Defense Committee[25] (this includes ARA founder Kieran Knutson[26] and other anti-fascist activists including Josh Dukes, also known as "Hex",[25] who was shot in the stomach at a protest against Milo Yiannopoulos at Seattle in 2017).[27]
Conferences
Since 2014, representatives of all of the chapters who are able to travel to the area meet at the Annual Torch Network Conference, usually held on Labour Day in September.[6] The location of the Annual Conference rotates between different chapters. The conference is usually held over two days, on the first day it is a private event, only directly affiliated or closely trusted groups are allowed to attend. On the second day, a semi-public, more open conference is held where various people who identify as anti-fascists are permitted to attend.
South Side Chicago Anti-Racist Action, Philly Antifa, Central Texas Anti-Racist Action, Milwaukee Antifa, Hoosier Anti-Racist Movement (HARM), Los Angeles People Against Racist Terror.[6] Matthew Nemiroff Lyons and Michael Staudenmaier were speakers. Chicago May First Anarchist Alliance and Black Rose/Rosa Negra Anarchist Federation (as "sponsors").[28]

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-trump-and-covid-19-have-reshaped-the-modern-militia-movement/
UPDATE (Oct. 8, 2020, 1:40 p.m.): On Thursday afternoon, federal charges were announced against six men who allegedly plotted with a militia group to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat. According to the FBI, the men held anti-government views and were planning to take Whitmer hostage and transport her to Wisconsin for a “trial.”
Whitmer has gotten a lot of flak during her time as governor from right-wing opponents of lockdown measures imposed earlier this year to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including armed militia members who protested outside the statehouse in May. In April, President Trump was openly enthusiastic about the protests, tweeting, “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!”
Last month, we wrote about how the COVID-19 pandemic and Trump’s presidency have transformed and invigorated the militia movement — in ways that some experts worry could lead to more violence like the thwarted plot against Whitmer.
In the video, the host of a local independent news radio program surveys the late-night shadows of a Kenosha, Wisconsin, car lot. You can just make out four men, long rifles in their hands, as they pace on top of the building. “We got militia on the roof here, and it’s pretty neat,” he says. On the ground, the videographer chats with other people he identifies as part of “the militia” — including an eager and excited-looking kid who tells the videographer his name is Kyle.
Kyle Rittenhouse would go on to allegedly kill two people and injure a third later that night. In the aftermath, the extent of his ties to militia activity — and militia activity itself — have been widely discussed: Are militias hate groups? Was Rittenhouse actually a part of a formal militia group? When people who identify as militia members show up in the middle of a protest … whose side are they on?
For the purposes of this article, when we refer to the militia movement, we are referring to an umbrella term that encompasses paramilitary activists and groups with strong anti-government leanings. But beyond that, modern militias are hard to explain and categorize — what even counts as a militia is up for debate. One thing is for sure: There is no one militia — not in Kenosha that night and not anywhere in the country. Instead, experts say, “the militia” is really a multifaceted movement with fluid boundaries. The key to understanding that movement’s role in the chaos of 2020 is knowing just how difficult it can be to pin down what apparent militia members believe — much less how they’re connected to each other and the broader movement.
While established militias are kind of like a heavily armed scout troop — formal organizations with ranks and membership dues and training programs and regular meetings — some academics argue that many people who are falling into the militia movement’s orbit these days are more like loosely affiliated individuals. “Members” is a strong word for this kind of community, with lots of people drifting along, sharing memes online or showing up, guns in tow, to protests — despite having no clear ties to any specific group. Even the organized, club-like militias don’t ascribe to a single overarching ideology, which makes it especially difficult to figure out what motivates individuals like Rittenhouse, or even how to describe them. “It’s almost like people are choosing their own adventure,” said Oren Segal, vice president of the Center on Extremism at the Anti-Defamation League.
So a crowd like the one that showed up in Kenosha can be made up of individuals, even strangers, with little connecting them except a shared interest in gun rights and a sense that they’re the only ones who can protect their community. And in these trying times — amid a pandemic and protests against racial injustice, plus a president who is giving them more public support than they’ve ever had from the national political establishment — those individuals are taking a collective turn in a direction that, experts fear, is likely to result in more violence.
An armed militia — or even a lone individual with ties to the militia movement — is not, of course, unique to 2020 or even the Trump era. Experts who study modern militias quibble over when the movement actually emerged, but most whom we spoke to date it to the late 1980s and early 1990s, when paramilitary groups and self-described “sovereign citizens” (who believe they, and not the government, get to decide which laws they follow) began to organize, partially in response to the deaths of political dissenters in Waco, Texas, and Ruby Ridge, Idaho. These groups didn’t bear much resemblance to the colonial-era militias mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but they had a few things in common — specifically, anger at the federal government, and a strong belief in their individual right to own weapons and use those weapons to defend themselves against perceived government overreach or a threat to their community.
How the various members of the movement define that threat is where things get muddy. For instance, some — but not all — militia members are also part of the white power movement, and see themselves as part of a struggle against the federal government that would eventually lead to a race war. Other parts of the militia movement, conversely, have explicitly rejected the white supremacist label. But that doesn’t mean that their members don’t hold racist views. And the decentralized nature of the movement has made it easy for militia groups or leaders to disavow individual people who committed acts of violence, even when they were likely influenced by some part of the movement’s ideology. Social media has made it even easier for someone with a passing interest to find out about militias online, and get involved — even tangentially — in whatever part of the movement fits their ideology and goals.
“People are organizing more around concepts and less around groups,” Segal told us. Some people might be pro-police; others might be anti-police. Some might be libertarian, others might be trying to stoke a race war. “They identify with an ideology, maybe with a movement. But not everyone is going to be part of Militia Group A, B or C,” he said.
The rise of President Trump, and the tumultuous events of 2020, have made it even more difficult to untangle what militias are doing and what their individual adherents believe. From the beginning of his candidacy, Trump’s rhetoric — his attacks on the “deep state” or the anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant insults that peppered his tweets and speeches — have resonated with and garnered public responses from people within the militia movement. When Trump tweeted about an impending civil war or warned about threats from the left, it brought extremist theories and conversations into the national conversation. “With Trump, the fringe entered the mainstream,” said Lawrence Rosenthal, the chair and lead researcher of the Berkeley Center for Right-Wing Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.

FBI director Wray.
Antifa
“It’s not a group or an organization. It’s a movement or an ideology.”
putting it in bold doesn't make it true, alky.
the FBI both corrupt and incompetent. not sure which is worse. but the place crawls with dirty cops. cops so dirty they bought personal liability insurance to cover their ass from the avalanche of lawsuits their anticipated.
so Wray went our and rounded up a half-dozen rednecks to support a narrative. it is scary that an agency so corrupt has so much power.
and if Wray spent 5 minutes on google, he'd know what antifa is and is not. an idea it is snot. it's a well organized domestic terror group.
The pandemic — and the racial injustice protests that have roiled cities throughout the summer — appear to have brought even more people into the militia movement’s orbit. Suddenly, people were at home all day, feeling anxious and fearful about the future and spending a lot more time online. Many in the militia movement chafed at state lockdown orders, and started appearing, heavily armed, at state capitols across the country to protest what they saw as an assault on their individual freedoms. “It’s the same central narrative about government tyranny: ‘I have the right to get a haircut, you don’t have the right to tell us we have to shelter in place,’” said Cynthia Miller-Idriss, a sociologist at American University, where she runs the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab.
The same messages were echoing across internet forums and Facebook groups, including among more loosely organized corners of the militia movement, prompting people who weren’t part of formal militia groups to show up. And they didn’t just appear at protests of government lockdowns — militia members also materialized at the protests of police brutality that sprang up in the wake of the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. People in that city are still arguing, months later, over whether those people were supporting protesters, supporting police, simply trying to incite violence, or some combination thereof.
Many of those people might never have met before in real life, but they sported signs of a shared identity, like Hawaiian shirts, the emblem of the apocalyptic “Boogaloo” movement, an amorphous online militia that has been described as a “meme-based insurgency.” “Boogaloo” identifiers aren’t held together by a coherent ideology — or even a shared sense of what it means to don a Hawaiian shirt. But their ranks have swelled quickly since the pandemic began, according to research by the Network Contagion Research Institute and others. And what these individuals do have in common is a tendency to be armed to the teeth in situations where tensions are already very high. For obvious reasons, that increases the likelihood of a violent confrontation.
Fear and anxiety are predictors of people — particularly young people — turning towards extremism and violence, said Miller-Idriss. In that context, the conditions of the pandemic are a perfect culture for radicalism to grow. “We know from the research that unemployment itself does not lead to greater risk of engaging in extremist behaviors but economic precarity does,” she said. For the last six months, the entire country has lived on the edge of economic and social precarity. What if our institutions crumble? What if we can’t get our normal lives back? Extremist ideologies can offer meaning, purpose and a narrative of control when everything feels out of it.
The president’s rhetoric has fed into that, experts say. By the time he was elected, Trump was a hero to many in the militia movement. “Donald Trump has succeeded in being at once the head of government and the head of anti-government,” Rosenthal said. “It’s a remarkable thing, actually.”
With Trump saying both implicitly and explicitly that militias or even just armed individuals are the only thing standing between America and the chaos of a leftist takeover of the country, the promise of control becomes even stronger. It becomes a call to arms — one that more young Americans, sitting at home without school or even work, may try to answer.
But if the head of the government isn’t the threat, who is? The answer, said Sam Jackson, a professor at the University of Albany and the author of a new book on one of the country’s most prominent modern militia groups, has turned out to be other Americans — specifically, left-leaning ones who oppose Trump.
That transition wasn’t as hard to make as it might seem, Jackson said, because many of the individuals loosely affiliated with the militia movement never really saw themselves as exactly “anti-government” to begin with. Instead, it’s better to think of them as radical libertarians, who wanted drastically less government, or maybe different government. “So when their man is in office, it’s an easier pivot for them to say … not all government is bad, but we don’t need to target the White House anymore,” he said.
But targeting opponents of the White House means a drastic change in the character of the American militia movement, said Robert Churchill, a history professor at the University of Hartford who extensively researched the militia movement of the 1990s. The majority of militia members back then were radical libertarians, he said, agreeing with Jackson, but their opposition to the federal government broadly meant they weren’t a partisan force. In fact, that definition of militias — small, armed groups of civilians fighting against the government — has characterized these kinds of movements throughout American history, Churchill told us.
Until now. Given the way things are changing, the people who study the militia movement and have spent years talking to its members think there’s a risk of American militias becoming more like the militias of other, often politically unstable, countries. “What matters is if the movement becomes essentially a more traditional Latin American pro-regime paramilitary, which seems to be what Trump is trying to create or wants,” Churchill said.

Political Wire
Pence Suddenly Cancels Campaign Events
4:45 pm EDT
Vice President Mike Pence, currently in Arizona, has cancelled campaign events in Indiana tomorrow and will be returning to Washington, D.C. instead, the AP reports.
His spokesman tells CBS News that “nobody’s sick” and “there’s no positive tests.”
Of course we can believe this White House.
Vulnerable Republicans are beginning to distance themselves from President Trump’s dismissive response to the coronavirus pandemic and his dramatic termination of negotiations with congressional Democrats over federal economic relief, with the latest cracks carrying enormous implications for Trump and the party with just four weeks until Election Day.
Facing a political reckoning as Trump’s support plummets and a possible blue tsunami looms, it is now conservatives and Trump allies who are showing flashes of discomfort with the president, straining to stay in the good graces of his core voters without being wholly defined by an erratic incumbent.
For some Republicans, the 11th-hour repositioning may not be enough to stave off defeat. But the criticism, however muted, illuminates the extent of the crisis inside a party that is growing alarmed about its political fate and confused by Trump’s tweets and decision-making.
“It’s a Republican Party unraveling,” presidential historian Douglas Brinkley said. “They’re seeking to rid themselves of Trump at this juncture but realize they can’t quite yet. But they know his name is no longer kinetic on the campaign trail.”
GOP strategists said on Wednesday that the angst in the party could exacerbate in the coming weeks if stock markets are throttled by Trump cutting off talks with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on a broader stimulus bill and if the pandemic’s toll worsens as temperatures drop across the nation and people move indoors.
Underscoring Trump’s unpredictability was the White House’s overtures to Pelosi Wednesday for a deal to rescue the airline industry.
“There are cracks and fissures all over the ice,” said Republican consultant Rick Tyler, a Trump critic. “The president spent months ignoring the virus and talking about the economy coming back. But when the president catches the virus and the economy doesn’t come back, what do you do? You try to survive.”
One senior GOP official close to Trump, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly, compared this crossroads to when the “Access Hollywood” story broke in October 2016 and many Republicans distanced themselves from Trump, who on tape had bragged in vulgar terms about groping women.
“The situation is getting worse and worse,” the senior official said. “This is like ‘Access Hollywood’ because we’re all seeing terrible poll numbers. We didn’t think it’d be this bad at this point. Everyone is wondering where the bottom is, and they’re figuring out what they need to do.”
Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005
The tumult within the GOP comes as the party remains jolted by Trump’s recent hospitalization and reevaluates the cost of being in lockstep with a president whose message on the virus that has ravaged families and killed more than 200,000 Americans is “don’t let it dominate you.”
In a video Wednesday night, Trump said contracting the disease was a “blessing from God.”
It is also a sudden turn for a party that last week was largely circumspect about Trump’s conduct at the first presidential debate, where he made incendiary remarks on white supremacy and baseless claims of electoral fraud, including an exchange where he said the extremist Proud Boys, a male-only far-right group known for street violence, should “stand back and stand by.”
“There is a long way to go and there is a pent-up Trump vote that I believe is underreported,” former Trump campaign adviser Ed Brookover said. “The president has his pulse on the country and a lot of America is going to get out there and make sure he has four more years.”
Others suggested that next week’s Senate confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, could be a galvanizing moment for the party if Democrats issue searing criticism of Barrett.
“People’s memories are so short that what has them down today could be forgotten by next week if the court or whatever else becomes the issue,” said Tom Ingram, a Tennessee-based GOP strategist. “It’s natural for this period to be a little nerve-racking for Republicans, given the president’s illness and the way he handled the first debate. That doesn’t mean it lasts.”
Still, the unease has been palpable this week as Republicans have appeared on debate stages and elsewhere, venting their frustrations after watching their Democratic challengers rise in the polls and raise millions.
Sen. John Cornyn (Tex.), a conservative in a tight race and close to GOP leaders, said this week that Trump “let his guard down” and “got out over his skis” by playing down the threat of the coronavirus.
“He tries to balance that with saying, ‘Well you know, we got this.’ And clearly we don’t have this,” Cornyn said in an interview with the Houston Chronicle’s editorial board.
Cornyn later said, “I think the biggest mistake people make in public life is not telling the truth, particularly in something with as much public interest as here because you know the real story is going to come out.”

ROFLMFAO !!!
Kevin Madden, a former top aide to House Republican leaders, said the senator’s comments nod to partywide fears.
“If it’s happening with Cornyn in a safe spot, it’s probably more widespread in the Senate conference and in the House,” Madden said. “It’s a reflection of worries about the impact everything is having on colleagues down ballot and across the country who are in much more difficult races.”
But Madden said most Republicans, even if eager to back away from Trump, “can’t do so without losing the base energy that they’ve become dependent on if they want to get across the 50-percent threshold.”

When asked for a response to the flurry of remarks by Cornyn and other Republicans about Trump’s handling of the pandemic, Tim Murtaugh, a Trump campaign spokesman, said in a statement that Trump “has been clear. People should be careful and take precautions, but we cannot allow the virus to dictate a complete shutdown of our society.”
Murtaugh added that Trump is “facing covid head on, just as he has been fighting for the country the last four years.”
Meanwhile, in Arizona, Sen. Martha McSally (R), struggling to hold on to her seat against Democrat Mark Kelly, whose candidacy has become a cause for Democrats nationwide, was evasive on Tuesday night at a debate when she was asked about whether she is proud of her support for Trump.
“I’m proud to be fighting for Arizona every single day,” McSally said, looking straight ahead and sticking to her talking points as the moderator pressed for clarity. “I’m proud that I’m fighting for Arizonans on things like cutting your taxes.”
Biden is leading Trump by eight percentage points in Arizona, a state that hasn’t voted for a Democrat for president since 1996, according to a New York Times-Siena College poll this week. The poll also finds that Kelly, a retired astronaut, is leading McSally, 50 percent to 39 percent.
Polling nationally shows the Republican Senate majority at risk with strongholds in the Deep South, such as South Carolina and Georgia, in play, and Biden leads Trump in a trio of key states that the president won four years ago, according to new polling released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University.
In Florida, Biden is leading Trump 51 percent to 40 percent among likely voters. That is a much wider lead than in early September, when Biden took 48 percent to Trump’s 45 percent. The change has been driven mainly by independent voters, according to the poll.
Trump Says Whitmer Is ‘Sowing Division’
6:28 pm
Shortly after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) addressed the public regarding an elaborate kidnapping plot thwarted by FBI, the White House released a statement on behalf of President Trump, who was directly mentioned in Whitmer’s press conference, WXYZ reports.
Said the statement: “Governor Whitmer is sowing division by making these outlandish allegations. America stands united against hate and in support of our federal law enforcement who stopped this plot.”

A new GOP internal poll in Kansas finds Barbara Bollier (D) leading Roger Marshall (R) in the U.S. Senate race, 45% to 42%, the Sunflower State Journal reports.
Trump Tells McCarthy He Wants a ‘Big Deal’
5:50 pm
Within a day of tweeting that he was calling off bipartisan talks for a coronavirus stimulus deal, President Trump phoned House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and indicated he was worried by the stock market reaction and wanted a “big deal” with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Axios reports.
CNN reports “it’s unclear what, exactly, Trump’s vision of a comprehensive deal would entail and there remains significant hurdles — and skepticism — when it comes to reaching an agreement through talks that have been largely stuck in the same place for several months.”
IT'LL BE NANCY'S DEAL OR NO DEAL
Biden Pulls In Another $12 Million
“Joe Biden’s campaign hauled in more than $12 million on Wednesday around the vice presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence, marking another watershed cash day for the already flush Democratic presidential ticket,” Politico reports.
“Earlier this month, Biden brought in nearly $10 million in three hours around the first presidential debate against President Donald Trump alone, breaking the campaign’s single-hour fundraising record.”
Quinnipiac also shows Biden leading Trump 54 percent to 41 percent among likely voters in Pennsylvania. In September, Biden took 52 percent to Trump’s 44 percent. Most other post-debate polls have shown Biden with a seven- to eight-point lead in the state.
In Iowa, Biden has a smaller lead, with 50 percent of likely voters polled by Quinnipiac supporting him and 45 percent backing Trump.
But the headwinds in traditionally Republican enclaves on the political map have sparked concerns of a Democratic landslide.
On Wednesday, the Cook Political Report said the race between Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and former South Carolina Democratic Party chairman Jaime Harrison is a “toss up,” following a recent Quinnipiac University poll that showed the contest tied.
In a sign of how Republicans are responding to the political turmoil, Graham, one of Trump’s staunchest allies, tweeted on Wednesday that he did not agree with Trump’s decision to stop negotiating with Pelosi until after the election.
“Strongly recommend all my colleagues and President Trump look at the House Problem-Solvers bipartisan $1.5 trillion stimulus relief package,” Graham wrote. “It has many good things for individuals and businesses.”
The Problem Solvers Caucus, a bipartisan group that proposed a $1.5 trillion stimulus package, has called for a resumption in negotiations.
Beyond Graham, other Republicans voiced concern about Trump’s negotiating tactics and pleaded with him to find common ground with Democrats as many Americans suffer from job losses and economic anxiety.
Rep. John Katko (R-N.Y.), a House member in a tough race, said he also disagreed with the president and would “strongly urge” Trump to rethink the decision.
And in Maine, Sen. Susan Collins (R) did the same as she fends off Democrat Sara Gideon in her reelection race.
“Waiting until after the election to reach an agreement on the next covid-19 relief package is a huge mistake,” Collins said in a statement.
Even Republican analysts say that the President is going to devastate the Republican party after the Orange monster goes to Florida and face bankruptcy again!

Trump Struggles to Project Sense of Normalcy
9:27 pm
“Trailing in the polls, stricken with the novel coronavirus and stuck in isolation at the White House, President Trump has tried to project an image of strength and normalcy that belies his troubled circumstances,” the Washington Post reports.
“But the president’s attempts to depict a back-to-normal presidency were punctured when the Commission on Presidential Debates announced Thursday morning that next week’s scheduled town hall meeting with Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would take place virtually rather than in person.
“The commission’s decision seemed to spark a frenzy of aggressive acrimony from Trump, and claims that were notable even by the president’s standards.”
Pelosi Pushes Bill on President’s Ability to Serve
9:22 pm
“Speaker Nancy Pelosi, alarmed by President Trump’s erratic behavior in recent days, is putting her weight behind a bill to give Congress a role in determining whether the President of the United States must be forced out of office because he’s incapable of doing his job,” CNN reports.

Complete blackout of the dem Cal Cunningham sex scandal by ABC, NBC, CBS that broke last week.
No bias there.
Tumult and Chaos. Lies and Corruption. Autocracy and Inanity.
Every day, the stories change. Each one of them in different times would be a scandal that demanded weeks if not months of press attention. But now, they are but bricks in a wall of horrors. Trump's tax returns? That was so last week. Waking up to see a sitting U.S. senator say he doesn't believe in "rank democracy?" Part of the noise of the news cycle. A plot to kidnap the Michigan governor? Chilling, yes. Shocking? Sadly, not really.
Each one of these outrages become but the latest rancid ingredients in a toxic stew poisoning all that is good and just about our fragile nation. It would be a mistake, however, not to see the deep roots of the present in our past. This nation was founded in a system of White Supremacy. We have long accepted different rules for the wealthy and the rest. We have battled with our demons. We have winked at injustice. We have suffocated the urgent voices of dissent.
And yet. And yet. It is perhaps the most hopeful phrasing one can assign to our national story. And yet. Time and time again the injustices of our history have been met by people and movements who have said, "And yet, we will fight on. And yet, we will not be discouraged. And yet, we will persevere."
It is overwhelming to try to chart all that is dangerous and disturbing in our current times. But if one changes one's perspective and starts to chart all who are rallying to the better angels of our nature, who are undeterred and fearless, who are full of grit and energy and a ferocity for truth and action, then one starts to see a glimmering horizon of hope.
I do not say this to dismiss or dilute the challenges we face. They are formidable and fearsome. But so are the ranks of an army of change marching across this country, to the polls, to an election, and on into a new, and far brighter future. Courage.

PHOENIX — Cindy Bishop is the sort of voter who has some Republicans bracing for a wipeout next month.
Standing inside her garage, shielded from the 102-degree desert heat, Ms. Bishop, a 61-year-old medical professional, said she voted for Mr. Trump four years ago because “he wasn’t a politician.” But then, she said, “I got a taste of him and I’m like, ‘God, he’s disrespectful’ — there’s so much about him I don’t like.” She is now leaning toward Joseph R. Biden Jr.
The inflammatory behavior that has alienated voters beyond his base has long posed the most significant impediment to Mr. Trump’s re-election. But one week after he rampaged through the first presidential debate and then was hospitalized with the coronavirus, only to keep minimizing the disease as it spread through his White House, the president’s conduct is not only undermining his own campaign but threatening his entire party.
New polls show Mr. Trump’s support is collapsing nationally, as he alienates women, seniors and suburbanites. He is trailing not just in must-win battlegrounds but according to private G.O.P. surveys, he is repelling independents to the point where Mr. Biden has drawn closer in solidly red states, including Montana, Kansas and Missouri, people briefed on the data said.

Peggy Noonan:
“It’s not only the past week’s events, not just the polls and their consistency, their upward tick from a lead of 6 or 7 to a lead in some polls of double digits; it’s the data about women and voters over 65.
“No one will talk about it in public because they’re not idiots.
Journalists don’t want to be embarrassed if they’ve got it wrong;
Democrats don’t want to encourage complacency;
Republicans don’t want to demoralize the troops;
and the networks have to keep everyone hopped up on the horse race…
“But if what a growing number of people are seeing as a real possibility happens, if we are in blowout territory, I think part of the reason won’t be political in any classic sense, or ideological, or having to do with some stupid question about which candidate you want to have a beer with. If Joe Biden wins big, part of the reason, maybe a big part, will be simply that he is normal.”
AS OPPOSED TO THE CREEP NOW IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
Ole Sleepy Joe?
No, just ole normal, dependable, likeable, decent, worthy of trust Joe.
According to the latest Gallup poll most people say they are better off than they were four years ago. So what are they lying about? Voting for Biden or being better off?
Because it simply makes no sense to fire the president who made your life better in favor of a substandard candidate.

Aug 20, 2020 · But that positive evaluation has disappeared. Now, three in five (60%) Democrats and about a quarter (23%) of Republicans believe they were better off four years ago than they are today. Americans overall are split: about two in five (41%) now say they were better off four years ago, and 38 percent believe they are better off now.

Barr Tells Republicans Durham Report Won’t Be Ready
TRUMP GOES OFF THE RAILS
“Attorney General Bill Barr has begun telling top Republicans that the Justice Department’s sweeping review into the origins of the Russia investigation will not be released before the election,” Axios reports.
“Republicans had long hoped the report, led by U.S. Attorney John Durham, would be a bombshell containing revelations about what they allege were serious abuses by the Obama administration and intelligence community probing for connections between President Trump and Russia.”

“A federal judge on Thursday blocked an order from Ohio’s secretary of state that would have required counties in the state to install ballot drop boxes just at the local election office, allowing additional drop boxes to be placed in areas that need them,” CNN reports.
Trump Lashes Out at Aides With Calls to Indict Rivals
New York Times:
“Mr. Trump has not been seen in person since returning from the hospital on Monday, but he sought to reassert himself on the public stage with a pair of telephone interviews with Fox News and Fox Business, a video and a series of Twitter messages. Even for him, they were scattershot performances, ones that advisers said reflected increasing frustration over his political fortunes only 26 days before an election with surveys that show him trailing Mr. Biden by double digits.
“The president castigated his own team, declaring that Attorney General William P. Barr would go down in history ‘as a very sad, sad situation’ if he did not indict Democrats like Mr. Biden and former President Barack Obama. He complained that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had not released Hillary Clinton’s emails.”
THE MAN IS DESPERATELY SICK BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY.
Democrats Flood Alaska Senate Race with Money
Politico: “New money from outside groups and small dollar donors are flooding into Alaska, where independent Al Gross, who is backed by state and national Democrats, is aiming to unseat first-term GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan. The race has been on the edges of the Senate map for months, potentially competitive but receiving far less attention than some more expensive and geographically closer contests.
“But now a new influx of outside spending and grassroots dollars into Gross’ campaign have given Democrats a major financial edge in the state in the final four weeks.”
Trump Pushes for Second Debate to Go On
Shortly after Dr. Sean Conley’s memo clearing President Trump to resume public activities, the president’s re-election campaign released a statement calling for the second presidential debate to take place in-person as originally scheduled, the New York Times reports.

Washington Post: Amid campaign sparring, plans for debate left in disarray.
Few Virus Safeguards as Trump Restarts Rallies
“The Trump campaign is hitting the road after being sidelined by the coronavirus for a week, while taking few precautions to ensure the rallies don’t become new hot spots,” Politico reports.
“While President Trump recovers at the White House, Vice President Mike Pence, members of Trump’s family and other proxies are fanning out to battlegrounds like Arizona, Florida, Nevada and North Carolina. Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stepien, also currently infected, is floating the idea of having the president hold a live rally next Thursday instead of participating in a virtual debate with Joe Biden.
“Many state and local officials say they’ve gotten little to no notice from the campaign about these events. And while many events are outdoors, some have not followed state and city limits on large crowds, the campaign isn’t requiring face coverings and social distancing doesn’t appear to be enforced, even though Trump officials with recent exposure to the virus will be speaking.”
Associated Press: Trump says he’s ready to resume rallies.

Is Trump Still Contagious?
“President Trump said Thursday he doesn’t think he’s contagious anymore, but medical experts say that’s impossible to know a week after his diagnosis with COVID-19,” the AP reports.
“Most people with COVID-19 can stop isolating and be around others about 10 days after they first showed symptoms… That’s provided their symptoms have improved, they have not had a fever for 24 hours and are no longer on any medication to reduce a high temperature. But there’s no way to know for certain that someone is no longer contagious so soon after falling ill, experts say.”

WOW!!! THIS IS 🔥🔥🔥!
Donald Trump went after Steve Schmidt (founder of Lincoln Project) on Twitter this morning. It did not go well. This is Steve’s reply:
"You’ve never beaten me at anything.
This is our first dance. Did you like, Covita? We are so much better at this than your team of crooks, wife beaters, degenerates, weirdos and losers. You are losing.
We heard you loved Evita. You saw it so many times. Where will you live out your years in disgrace? Will you buy Jeffrey Epstein’s island? One last extra special deal from him? Or will you be drooling on yourself in a suite at Walter Reed? Maybe you will be in prison? I bet you fear that.
The Manhattan District Attorney may not be around to cover for you or your crooked kids anymore. Eliza Orlins doesn’t believe in different sets of rules for the Trumps. What about the State Attorney General? You know what you’ve done.
Oh, Donald. Who do you owe almost $500 million in personally guaranteed loans to? It's all coming down. You think you and your disgusting family are going to be in deal-flow next year? Are you really that delusional?
You are lucky Chris Wallace interrupted you after Joe Biden said you weren’t smart. You started to melt down. That’s the place that hurts the most. Right? Fred Sr., knew it. You’ve spent your whole life proving it. You aren’t very smart. You couldn’t take the SAT on your own. What was the real score? 970? We both know you know.
Are the steroids wearing off? Is the euphoria fading? Do you feel foggy? Tired? Do you ache? How is the breathing? Hmmm. Are you watching TV today? We will have some nice surprises for you. Everyone is laughing at you. You are a joke. A splendid moron turned deadly clown.
Did you watch Martha McSally in her debate against American hero, fighter pilot, test pilot, astronaut Capt. Mark Kelly? She is so embarrassed by you. She is ashamed and full of self-loathing for the choice she made in following you over the cliff. She is in free fall now. She will lose, like most of them, because of you.
We hear from the White House and the campaign everyday. They are betraying you. They are looking to get out alive and salvage careers and their names. It’s Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner vs. Donald Trump Jr., and Kimberly Guilfoyle on the inside. They are at war over scraps and who gets to command what will be the remnants of your rancid cult.
It’s almost over now. You are the greatest failure in American history. You are the worst president in American history. Disgrace will always precede your name. Your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will grow up ashamed of their names.
One day, I suppose there will be some small and not-much-visited library that bears your name. It will be the type of place where a drunk walks by, staring at the wall for a minute, before deciding it is beneath his dignity to piss on. That’s what is waiting for you.
Joe Biden is a better man. He’s smarter. He’s winning. Do you remember when you didn’t want to name Donald Trump Jr., Donald because you were worried about him being a loser named Donald? You were right about that. He is. But it is you who will be remembered as America’s greatest loser. You will be crushed in the election.
Shhhhhhhh."
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Firearms experts say a ballistics report from Kentucky State Police shows Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend fired the shot that wounded a Louisville officer and prompted police to return fire, killing Taylor.
The authorities said the four-page report dismisses the theory that Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly was hit by "friendly fire" from his own officers and supports Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s conclusion that the 9 mm round that severed Mattingly's femoral artery came from the gun fired by Kenneth Walker.
The ballistics report, part of the investigative file released Wednesday by Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, shows that only one 9 mm bullet and cartridge casing was found at Taylor's apartment. Walker had previously acknowledged firing one shot from his legally-owned Glock 9 mm handgun.

Well, Ch, you posted plenty yesterday.
Hows about a new thread about the obvious coming defeat of the Despicable Donald?
Donald Trump is The Drowning Man. Yesterday he called for the ARREST of Joe Biden! And of President Obama. And Hillary Clinton. These are the barking orders of any drowning dictator, gasping for his last breath. In a fit of mad lunacy, Trump lashed out at his own Attorney General for not arresting Biden, at his Sec of State for not indicting Hillary, at his FBI director for saying there’s no election fraud taking place (other than Trump dismantling the Post Office). Trump has been so crazed in the past 5 days, there is now talk of triggering the 25th Amendment to take power away from an incapacitated president.
The ejection/election is 3 weeks from Tuesday. We are barely going to get there. Trump, like all drowning men, is seized by a monumental panic. He knows it’s over. He knows there is nothing he can hang onto. He’s a goner. Rats are jumping from his gold-plated sinking ship. We will not save them either. Thoughts & prayers, GOP sycophants. Gulp. Gulp. Gulp.
In order to attain my Eagle Scout medal when I was in Boy Scouts, the final test I had to pass was to fight off a drowning man trying to drown me in the middle of the Flint Central High School pool. The adrenaline of a drowning person is massive & he/she is instantly empowered w/ an overwhelming strength. So when I jumped into the deep end of that pool, the “drowning” muscular adult came at me with a violent vengeance, grabbing my neck and pushing my head down under the water. If you’ve ever been in a situation like this you know it is terrifying. Your strength cannot match the strength of the drowning man. Your brain realizes that it is YOU in fact who is going to die. But I remembered my training & used the water to pull out of his grip, got behind him & wrapped my arm around his neck to neutralize him.
That is our job between now and November 3rd. Stop the drowning man from killing us. But absolutely know that in his delirious state, he can still drown US. The difference here, though, from the Eagle Scout training is clear — for the sake of our Democracy, make sure HE drowns, in a sea of ballots. A TSUNAMI of ballots! So many ballots he can’t come up for air to call for his armed uprising.
VOTE!!
