Donald Trump is acting like a kid on a bicycle with a flat tire hurrying to get home. He tries to ignore his mounting problems and just keeps going on that flat tire, wobbling and unstable. POTUS appeared on Fox & Friends Tuesday. It was bad.
As much as the president tries to ignore the coronavirus pandemic, it is not going away. As much as he ignores the close to a quarter of a million souls lying in their cold graves, they will never be less dead.
Fox & Friends asked Trump what he thought about Hunter Biden’s laptop supposedly having emails:
‘They say, right, that this is the laptop from hell. They say right in the laptop that, you know, the big man has to get 10 percent, and then in another case they say 50 percent. This is 100 percent. This is — and even if he didn’t get, and he does get, and he lives like a king — even if he didn’t get all of this money — and everybody’s known this in Washington for a long time.’
The president’s fixer Rudy Giuliani was hauled in for working with a known Russian spy to dig up the president’s own fake news on Hunter and plant it on a laptop. POTUS said:
‘[A]nd this has to be known about before the election.’
Then, POTUS said his campaign was doing “very well” and Joe Biden was “imploding” over news about Hunter:
‘It’s just going very well. I think he’s imploding, you look at all that corruption in his family, tremendous corruption.’
The commander-in-chief said there were links to Joe Biden in Ukraine and China:
‘That laptop, no one has ever seen anything like it, he’s gone into hiding.’
Trump is irritated with his Attorney General William Barr, saying he’s “gotta act” on Joe Biden’s only surviving son, Hunter. Nevermind his own grifter children. He wants Barr to appoint a special counsel to investigate the laptop story:
‘We’ve go to get the Attorney General to act, and he’s got to act, and he’s got to act fast. He’s got to appoint somebody. This is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election. We’re going to win the election.’
Just 11 of the 198 House of Representatives Republicans sent Barr a letter calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the Bidens.
Trump found a way to imagine a positive outcome when he was a young man. The trouble is he started believing his fantasies. He said he was going to win on November 3:
‘We’re going to win. I wouldn’t have told you that two or three weeks ago. … I am more excited today than I was two weeks ago.’
Trump said that:
‘I want to do it even bigger than the Democrats. This is money going to people that did not deserve what happened to them coming out of China. We want to do it, but Nancy Pelosi doesn’t want to do it.’
During the interview, Trump was asked the difference between him and Biden winning. He replied:
‘The bottom line: The American dream, the great American dream versus being a socialist hellhole. Because they’re going to turn us into a socialist nation, we’re going to be no different than Venezuela and I’ll tell you what — it can happen.’
Host Brian Kilmeade could not get a word in edgeways. The president continued:
‘It’s disgraceful that the media can’t cover it!. The media refuses to cover it!’
Then, POTUS started wobbling all over the place.

bipartisanreport--2020-10-20--GOP Navy Admiral From Bin Laden Raid Snubs Trump To Endorse Biden

Retired Adm. William McRaven — who is a former commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command and oversaw the 2011 raid that culminated in the death of terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden — has endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden .
McRaven , who has repeatedly spoken out against Donald Trump in the past , says that he has already voted for Biden in his home state of Texas , where early in-person voting opened up recently .
Over 4.6 million Texans have already voted , and in polls in the state , the presidential race is very close .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden in an article for the Wall Street Journal .
Although he did not use Donald Trump ’ s name in the article , the target of his ire was obvious .
McRaven characterized the current state of the U.S. government as fundamentally unsustainable , arguing that the current chaos allows for a shift away from a global perception of U.S. leadership .
McRaven insisted that “ the world no longer looks up to America , ” somberly adding that the world has been “ witness to our dismissiveness , our lack of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issues.
” ‘ Truth be told , I am a pro-life , pro-Second Amendment , small-government , strong-defense and a national-anthem-standing conservative .
But , I also believe that black lives matter , that the Dreamers deserve a path to citizenship , that diversity and inclusion are essential to our national success , that education is the great equalizer , that climate change is real and that the First Amendment is the cornerstone of our democracy .
Most important , I believe that America must lead in the world with courage , conviction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ “ Courage , conviction and a sense of honor and humility ” have all , of course , been rather absent from the Trump administration .
Donald Trump has repeatedly used the machinations of the federal government for the benefit of himself and those allied to him .
For example , he commuted the prison sentence of his ally Roger Stone , who had been found guilty of an obstruction of justice scheme meant to hide attempted outreach to allies of Russian intelligence services .
Elsewhere , Trump has derided NATO , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like France and Germany — and the list goes on .
Fundamentally , Trump has turned the U.S. into a spectacle .
The status of the U.S. with Trump in charge seemed well exemplified by an incident at a United Nations General Assembly .
Trump claimed during a speech that he had done more for the U.S. than almost any other president — and laughter rang out through the room .
‘ Now , the world no longer looks up to America .
They have been witness to our dismissiveness , our lack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ global issues .
They have seen us tear up our treaties , leave our allies on the battlefield and cozy up to despots and dictators .
They have seen our incompetence in handling the pandemic and the wildfires .
They have seen us struggle with social injustice .
They no longer think we can lead , because they have seen an ineptness and a disdain for civility that is beyond anything in their memory .

With two weeks until Election Day , Biden maintains significant polling leads .

Retired Adm. William McRaven — who is a former commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command and oversaw the 2011 raid that culminated in the death of terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden — has endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. McRaven, who has repeatedly spoken out against Donald Trump in the past, says that he has already voted for Biden in his home state of Texas, where early in-person voting opened up recently. Over 4.6 million Texans have already voted, and in polls in the state, the presidential race is very close.
McRaven revealed his decision to vote for Biden in an article for the Wall Street Journal. Although he did not use Donald Trump’s name in the article, the target of his ire was obvious. McRaven characterized the current state of the U.S. government as fundamentally unsustainable, arguing that the current chaos allows for a shift away from a global perception of U.S. leadership. McRaven insisted that “the world no longer looks up to America,” somberly adding that the world has been “witness to our dismissiveness, our lack of respect and our transactional approach to global issues.”
He shares:
‘Truth be told, I am a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, small-government, strong-defense and a national-anthem-standing conservative. But, I also believe that black lives matter, that the Dreamers deserve a path to citizenship, that diversity and inclusion are essential to our national success, that education is the great equalizer, that climate change is real and that the First Amendment is the cornerstone of our democracy. Most important, I believe that America must lead in the world with courage, conviction and a sense of honor and humility.’
“Courage, conviction and a sense of honor and humility” have all, of course, been rather absent from the Trump administration. Donald Trump has repeatedly used the machinations of the federal government for the benefit of himself and those allied to him. For example, he commuted the prison sentence of his ally Roger Stone, who had been found guilty of an obstruction of justice scheme meant to hide attempted outreach to allies of Russian intelligence services. Elsewhere, Trump has derided NATO, the Paris Climate Accord, allied countries like France and Germany — and the list goes on.
Fundamentally, Trump has turned the U.S. into a spectacle. The status of the U.S. with Trump in charge seemed well exemplified by an incident at a United Nations General Assembly. Trump claimed during a speech that he had done more for the U.S. than almost any other president — and laughter rang out through the room.
McRaven observes:
‘Now, the world no longer looks up to America. They have been witness to our dismissiveness, our lack of respect and our transactional approach to global issues. They have seen us tear up our treaties, leave our allies on the battlefield and cozy up to despots and dictators. They have seen our incompetence in handling the pandemic and the wildfires. They have seen us struggle with social injustice. They no longer think we can lead, because they have seen an ineptness and a disdain for civility that is beyond anything in their memory. But, without American leadership the world will indeed be transformed, just not in the way we hope.’
The good news is that Trump may be out of office soon. With two weeks until Election Day, Biden maintains significant polling leads.


bipartisanreport--2020-10-20--Trump Has Deranged Morning Conniption Fit During Live TV Interview

With weeks until Election Day , President Donald Trump does not sound remotely competent enough to effectively handle the duties of the presidency for four more weeks , let alone four more years .
His overarching campaign message is a rambling mish-mash of conspiratorial complaints about the Democrats .
During a phone interview on Fox & Friends this Tuesday , Trump claimed that , if elected , Democrats will “ take away… your God ” — which is , of course , ridiculous .
For starters , Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is a practicing Catholic .
Additionally : what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a previous occasion , Trump said that Biden would “ hurt God , ” which was similarly nonsensical .
Trump delivered his rant after one of the Fox co-hosts asked him about a recent New York Post story about Hunter Biden .
The story claims to reveal contents from Hunter ’ s laptop , including the supposed revelation that Joe Biden supposedly met with a Ukrainian energy adviser at Burisma .
There ’ s no corroborating evidence , but Ainsley Earhardt asked the president if he thought that the New York Post story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of his own family members involved .
‘ Well you know it would be , and they went through and put my son in particular — over a 15 minute meeting with somebody from Russia who met with everybody in Congress over the years .
Everybody knew , and it was a meeting about something totally different , and Don Jr. went .
It ’ s so unfair , what they have done — what they have done to this country , and we ’ re really hitting them back — we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ People are in love… Don ’ t worry about Texas .
Texas is with us .
They want to take away your guns , your oil , and your God — okay , that ’ s what they want .
They want to take away your Second Amendment .
They want to take away fracking and oil .
They don ’ t care — they want to take it away .
They want to go to the Green New Deal .
That ’ s not for Texas.
’ The president sounds unhinged .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not represent a solid path forward for the United States .
His reference to a 15 minute meeting refers to a meeting that Donald Trump Jr. had with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya , who Trump Jr. had been promised would bring dirt on Hillary , although she ended up bringing up another topic during the meeting .
At another point during his Tuesday talk on Fox & Friends , one of the co-hosts asked Trump “ what specifically ” that he would point to that would enact a “ socialist hell hole ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elected .
Trump replied that “ well , everything ” would , and he rambled : ‘ Socialized medicine .
They want you to go to a hospital if you have a cold , take away your health care .
They want to take away 180 million incredible health care plans that people love .
I mean , you can go down a list forever .
They want to take away your guns .
They want to defund your police or at least radically change your police… they want to destroy your police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , take away your guns so you can ’ t protect yourself.
’ Trump is lying , plain and simple .
Joe Biden specifically does not support doing away with private health insurance plans ; he just wants to enact a public option .
Biden specifically does not want to forcibly seize people ’ s assault weapons either ; he wants a voluntary buyback program alongside a program allowing people to keep the weapons if they ’ re registered .

Watch Trump’s comments below:
On Fox & Friends, Trump insists he'll win Texas because Biden wants to "take away" God. It's not the first time he's used this line but it's pretty bonkers.

They want to defund your police or at least radically change your police… they want to destroy your police forces and, at the same time, take away your guns so you can’t protect yourself.’
Q: What specifically would you point to with Biden and Harris that would take us to a socialist hell hole? TRUMP: "Well, everything. You know. Socialized medicine.

Donald Trump is losing it with only two weeks to go until the election. He has always been a walking emotion, but now he has the appearance similar to a lightning-strike victim. With smoke coming out of his ears, a bent golf club in his hand, and his clothing somewhat disheveled, people wonder when the big one is coming.
People normally walk on eggshells around him, but this is different. He blew up at CBS’ 60 Minutes host Leslie Stahl. Then, he took the stage in Erie, Pennsylvania and went off.
The upcoming program 60 Minutes invited him and his VP Mike Pence to interview together. His opponent Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris interviewed separately. Trump and Pence were with the show’s longtime cohost interviewing for about 45 minutes when something happened. All of a sudden, Trump de-miked and stalked out of the interview.
The Twitter machine said that he would be going public with his interview before Sunday evening when the show airs. In one of the tweets, Trump released a “behind-the-scenes video” of Stahl without a mask at the White House. He tweeted:
‘I am pleased to inform you that, for the sake of accuracy in reporting, I am considering posting my interview with Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes, PRIOR TO AIRTIME! This will be done so that everybody can get a glimpse of what a FAKE and BIASED interview is all about.’
According to the New York Times, the president became irritated with her questions. He tweeted:
‘Everyone should compare this terrible Electoral Intrusion with the recent interviews of Sleepy Joe Biden.’
POTUS never came back, leaving an awkward VP with Stahl in the truncated walk-and-talk interview.
Then, the president headed up to Eerie, Pennsylvania for another rally. He has told his people that he wants to do five rallies a day until November 3 in this election season. POTUS appears to be implementing his own herd immunity with the packed crowds. His top virologist world-renowned Dr. Anthony Fauci has warned the president and Americans about that danger.
Trump appeared to be slurring his words unless he had something in his mouth. “Get out and vote. Get out and vote. Get out and vote.” WTV Reporter for Capitol Tonight Ryan Whalen tweeted:
‘My iPhone doesn’t have a long lense but here is @realDonaldTrump taking the stage in Erie. ‘

The journalist continued, noting that the president’s mike had gone out. He caught what Trump had to say about it:
‘Trump’s mic briefly went out. “I wonder who did that to our mic. I don’t believe it was Joe. You know who that was? Frickin Hillary.'”
After that, Whalen added that Trump talked about fracking, Hunter Biden, and the “laptop from hell:”
‘Trump’s speech so far has focused on fracking and Hunter Biden. He says Joe Biden wants to ban fracking. The Biden campaign says that’s not true. He says the media is suppressing the Hunter story and the “laptop from hell.”’
Whalen continued his running commentary. Trump asked “You guys never opened (businesses). What the hell is going on in Pennsylvaniia:”
‘On the COVID pandemic Trump says to crowd, “You guys never opened. What the hell is going on in Pennsylvania?”’
Chances are no one had the courage to tell POTUS about his music. The reporter described Trurmp’s “YMCA dance:”
‘And I get to witness the Trump YMCA dance in person. He doesn’t mime the letters, he just kind of fist pumps a little.’
Since 2016, Trump has returned to Erie multiple times. He draws western New Yorkers down for support, too. First Lady Melania Trump was supposed to attend, but she still had a remnant cough from her bout with the coronavirus.

bipartisanreport--2020-10-21--NY Times Strikes Again With Tuesday Night Trump Tax Reveal

By now , it ’ s well known that The New York Times has copies of President Donald Trump ’ s tax returns and that Trump routinely lies about everything , but particularly about his political opponents .
One repeated lie from Trump throughout the 2020 campaign cycle is that Joe Biden will be “ owned by China ” should he win the presidency , which he insists is due to Biden ’ s son , Hunter Biden , having done business there and having been paid millions of dollars .
Not only is that not true , a new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just how much of a hypocrite the president really is when it comes to financial dealings in China .
Republicans in the Senate released a report saying that Hunter Biden had opened a bank account in China , which they said was proof of his father ’ s corruption somehow and Trump has used it as an attack against his Democratic rival .
As it turns out , Trump ’ s tax return lists a bank account in China owned by the Trump Organization , through which the president has earned money .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be required to pay nearly 200,000 in taxes , or about 188,000 more than he paid in the United States .
‘ It turns out that China is one of only three foreign nations — the others are Britain and Ireland — where Mr. Trump maintains a bank account , according to an analysis of the president ’ s tax records , which were obtained by The New York Times .
The foreign accounts do not show up on Mr. Trump ’ s public financial disclosures , where he must list personal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corporate names .
The identities of the financial institutions are not clear.
’ A lawyer for the Trump Organization , Alan Garten , insists that the account was opened when potential business deals in China were on the table , but that no business deals have ever been made by their office in China and that it ’ s not been active since 2015 .
That doesn ’ t explain the amount of money Trump owed there in taxes , nor does it explain why the office or the bank account are still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transactions or other business activities ever materialized and , since 2015 , the office has remained inactive , ” Mr. Garten said .

By now, it’s well known that The New York Times has copies of President Donald Trump’s tax returns and that Trump routinely lies about everything, but particularly about his political opponents. One repeated lie from Trump throughout the 2020 campaign cycle is that Joe Biden will be “owned by China” should he win the presidency, which he insists is due to Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, having done business there and having been paid millions of dollars.
Not only is that not true, a new report from The New York Times shows just how much of a hypocrite the president really is when it comes to financial dealings in China.
NEW: President Trump's tax records reveal a previously unknown bank account he has in China, where he's spent a decade pursuing business deals. w/@russbuettner, @susannecraig https://t.co/lklgXCqe9x — Mike McIntire (@mmcintire) October 20, 2020
Republicans in the Senate released a report saying that Hunter Biden had opened a bank account in China, which they said was proof of his father’s corruption somehow and Trump has used it as an attack against his Democratic rival. As it turns out, Trump’s tax return lists a bank account in China owned by the Trump Organization, through which the president has earned money. In fact, he earned enough there to be required to pay nearly 200,000 in taxes, or about 188,000 more than he paid in the United States.
‘It turns out that China is one of only three foreign nations — the others are Britain and Ireland — where Mr. Trump maintains a bank account, according to an analysis of the president’s tax records, which were obtained by The New York Times. The foreign accounts do not show up on Mr. Trump’s public financial disclosures, where he must list personal assets, because they are held under corporate names. The identities of the financial institutions are not clear.’
"The Chinese account is controlled by Trump International Hotels Management L.L.C., which the tax records show paid $188,561 in taxes in China while pursuing licensing deals there from 2013 to 2015." https://t.co/2Xm4DIdANA — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) October 20, 2020
A lawyer for the Trump Organization, Alan Garten, insists that the account was opened when potential business deals in China were on the table, but that no business deals have ever been made by their office in China and that it’s not been active since 2015. That doesn’t explain the amount of money Trump owed there in taxes, nor does it explain why the office or the bank account are still open.
‘”No deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialized and, since 2015, the office has remained inactive,” Mr. Garten said. “Though the bank account remains open, it has never been used for any other purpose.’ “Mr. Garten would not identify the bank in China where the account is held. Until last year, China’s biggest state-controlled bank rented three floors in Trump Tower, a lucrative lease that drew accusations of a conflict of interest for the president.”

The news comes after Trump has spent months attacking Hunter Biden for doing the same thing, although Trump twisted the truth in his accusations about the son of his political opponent. Namely, he’s said that the younger Biden received large sums of cash, more than a million dollars, while in China with his father.
‘In a misleading claim amplified by surrogates like his son Donald Trump Jr. and his lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president has said the younger Mr. Biden “walked out of China” with $1.5 billion after accompanying his father on an official trip in 2013. Numerous news articles and fact-checking sites have explained that the huge figure was actually a fund-raising goal set by an investment firm in which Hunter Biden obtained a 10 percent stake after his father left office.

In a scene from the new Borat : Subsequent Moviefilm , former mayor of New York City and current attorney for the actual president of the United States Rudy Giuliani is tricked by actor Sasha Baron Cohen and a woman posing as a reporter into going back to her hotel room .

The former mayor has an explanation for the scene , but it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scene itself .
Giuliani insists that he was “ tucking in my shirt , ” a story he repeated on Twitter after having said it earlier in the day , because the microphone cord had pulled his shirt up “ in the back , ” so he leaned back to tuck his shirt in .

(1) The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment. At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate.

President Barack Obama came to Philadelphia, PA, and people immediately remembered what so endeared them to this president. It was a community event that quickly reached across the nation. It started with systemic racism but immediately reached all people. The event asked the question, how do we get young people to vote?
The president said that we have to talk to them in a way that they can relate to what we are saying. When he was elected, he said he had 60 percent of the African vote:
‘We never tried 80 percent, 90 percent. In the midterms only 30 percent voted, and just 15 percent were young people.’
Obama reminded people that when the government tells you your vote does not count, that is how democracies wither and die. And it’s not just about the president and the vice president. He said to listen to kids:
‘What are they concerned about? I was on the Chicago Southside as an organizer. I was 25. The man who hired me told me to spend the first month talking and listening to what people care about. Let them tell me what they should care about.’
The following are excerpts from Obama’s event:
‘There is a trick perpetrated on people that government is separate from you. No. It is us. It works based on who sits at the table. If you don’t vote, there’s no seat at the table. Kids are part of the solution. Show them how they are impacted by state legislation, the federal government. How budgets work.’
‘Look, give this a shot. The country was better at end of my terms. Voting works. It’s not perfect. There are a whole lot of problems. Make it better. Nothing wrong with better.’ ‘There’s hope and change, sadness and destruction. The audacity of hope is not blind optimism. We do not ignore problems, but believe in the face of the difficult, we can get a better world. Look squarely at the problem then with effort, with community we will make things better.’ ‘I’ve been mad and frustrated, but I never lost hope over the past four years. Progress doesn’t move in a straight line. Victories slip away, we renew our energy, then there’s back-stepping. Hope isn’t overly optimistic, it is about change. Change is real. Pushback is real.’ ‘But the young people demonstrating reminded me that they internalized that optimism. Here we are to make another push. There’s disappointment, we fall short, but we come back. From the benefit of age, I realize in any endeavor there are setbacks and times fallen short. It is a test of our strength as a people that we are able to push through. Never give up on believing we are resilient and strong enough push through.’
‘But we cannot afford another four years. That would set us so far back. it would be really hard to dig yourself out of that hole.’ ‘The pandemic would be rough for anybody, but the degree incompetence and misinformation. The number that might not have died if we had just done the basics, the degree of disproportionally low-income people. Proof? Fixed? Canada has 39% fewer deaths.’ ‘Knowing Joe and Kamala and the people advising them, I know they will be a great deal more effective. It will not all be solved tomorrow. I know we can do better. But we have to vote.’
‘With education, it is never too early to explain “government is you.” Give kids examples of government at work. Like when you can only afford one pizza and have to decide what kind. A 7- or an 8-year-old can understand if you give actual experiences. Let them vote, participate when they are young…Give kids a sense they have a vote.

bipartisanreport--2020-10-21--NH Attorney General Thwarts GOP Student Vote Sabotage Scheme

In a new written response to a complaint from the state Republican Party , the New Hampshire ’ s Attorney General ’ s Office has affirmed the right of certain college students to vote in the state .
The New Hampshire GOP had sent letters advocating for blocking college students from voting in the state if they had registered there at one point but had since ended up residing outside of the state due to colleges setting up remote learning .
Remote learning would not require students to actually be present in the state , even if they remain registered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recent rise in remote , web-based education set-ups stems from concerns about in-person gatherings due to the spread of the Coronavius .
The state AG ’ s office says that college students “ who previously registered to vote in New Hampshire do not automatically lose their voting eligibility if they ’ re out of state due to remote learning or other circumstances , ” as reported by local NPR .
Assistant Attorney General Nicholas Chong Yen insisted in a response to state Republicans that a “ temporary absence ” from the state doesn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rights to cast their ballots in the state ’ s elections .
Furthermore , he added , voters must at some point establish a residence in the state in order to become eligible to vote to begin with , and college students who are originally from another state are already specifically allowed to vote in New Hampshire elections .

The GOP has carried out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country , including a recent case in which the Pennsylvania Republican Party asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block mail-in ballots received after Election Day from inclusion in the state ’ s final results .
In the wake of concerns about slowdowns in mail delivery service around the country , Pennsylvania authorities recently extended the deadline for receiving mail-in ballots to be counted to the third day after Election Day .
Republicans had asked for that deadline extension to be undone , but the Supreme Court did not approve their request .

In a new written response to a complaint from the state Republican Party, the New Hampshire’s Attorney General’s Office has affirmed the right of certain college students to vote in the state. The New Hampshire GOP had sent letters advocating for blocking college students from voting in the state if they had registered there at one point but had since ended up residing outside of the state due to colleges setting up remote learning. Remote learning would not require students to actually be present in the state, even if they remain registered at a New Hampshire college. The recent rise in remote, web-based education set-ups stems from concerns about in-person gatherings due to the spread of the Coronavius.
The state AG’s office says that college students “who previously registered to vote in New Hampshire do not automatically lose their voting eligibility if they’re out of state due to remote learning or other circumstances,” as reported by local NPR.
Assistant Attorney General Nicholas Chong Yen insisted in a response to state Republicans that a “temporary absence” from the state doesn’t mean that voters lose their rights to cast their ballots in the state’s elections. Furthermore, he added, voters must at some point establish a residence in the state in order to become eligible to vote to begin with, and college students who are originally from another state are already specifically allowed to vote in New Hampshire elections.
As Chong Yen put it:
‘As the New Hampshire Supreme Court has recently confirmed, it reflects longstanding domicile law that a student living in New Hampshire and attending an institution of learning may lawfully claim domicile in the town or ward in which the student lives if the student’s claim of domicile meets the requirements of [New Hampshire’s voting eligibility law].’
New Hampshire might not be a traditional battleground for the general election during a presidential race, but with a race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden that could end up close in the final results, every bit counts. (A Suffolk University poll conducted in the state during early October found Biden in the lead by 10 percent.) The GOP has carried out a slew of voter suppression schemes across the country, including a recent case in which the Pennsylvania Republican Party asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block mail-in ballots received after Election Day from inclusion in the state’s final results. In the wake of concerns about slowdowns in mail delivery service around the country, Pennsylvania authorities recently extended the deadline for receiving mail-in ballots to be counted to the third day after Election Day. Republicans had asked for that deadline extension to be undone, but the Supreme Court did not approve their request.


bipartisanreport--2020-10-21--Images Of Mitch McConnell Horribly  Bruised Released By AP

This week , Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-Ky. ) was caught on camera not looking too great .
In a Tuesday photo cataloged by the Associated Press , one of McConnell ’ s hands looks mostly dark purple , while the other looks definitively discolored but more mottled , with visible skin-like colors .
The photo was captured after a Republican policy luncheon as the Senate Majority Leader spoke with reporters .
What exactly is going on ?
Is there a health condition that he is hiding from Americans — even as he seeks re-election in an ongoing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Check out the images below : Republicans haven ’ t exactly been known for their transparency .
For days after Trump had supposedly begun moving towards recovery after a diagnosis with the Coronavirus , the White House would not even say if the president had tested negative , although they eventually confirmed as much .

That trip had not been previously on the schedule , but the White House claims that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ physical examination for the president — but reportedly , Vice President Mike Pence was held on standby at the time in case he needed to temporarily assume the powers of the presidency in case Trump had to undergo anesthesia .
During Trump ’ s bout with the Coronavirus , updates mostly came from White House physician Dr. Sean Conley , who repeatedly stonewalled when faced with even the most simple questions .
While Trump was hospitalized , it took Conley a day after initial questioning about the subject to even admit that Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all .
That behavior doesn ’ t inspire confidence .
There ’ s also , of course , the lengthy record of the Trump administration ’ s numerous brazen lies about a whole slew of subjects .
Trump , for instance , has recently been repeating the claim that a Biden presidency would do away with private health insurance plans across the country , which is an outright lie .
Biden has specifically refuted this idea .
So what ’ s up with McConnell ?
At this point , who knows .
Currently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confirmation of Trump pick Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court .

bipartisanreport--2020-10-21--Romney Defects From GOP & Announces He’s NOT Voting For Trump

The enmity between President Donald Trump and Senator Mitt Romney ( R-UT ) has been ongoing and well-documented .
During the 2016 campaigns , Romney spoke out against the bombastic and dangerous Trump and declared him unfit for public office , particularly the highest office in the land .
On Wednesday , Romney told CNN reporters that he had already voted in the 2020 presidential elections and that he “ did not vote for Trump.
” However , he would not say if he voted for Joe Biden , a third-party candidate , or if he wrote someone in as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when he cast his vote for Ronald Reagan .
In a statement released on Twitter last week , Romney said : While Romney has routinely vacillated between disparaging Trump ’ s actions and supporting the majority of his policies in the Senate , including promising to confirm Trump ’ s Supreme Court nominee while voters are still casting ballots , it ’ s been apparent for some time that the Republican Party has grown disenchanted with Trump , and Romney has never subscribed to the GOP hero-worship of the reality TV game show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ juvenile , divisive style .
‘ I have stayed quiet with the approach of the election .
But I ’ m troubled by our politics , as it has moved away from spirited debate to a vile , vituperative , hate-filled morass that is unbecoming of any free nation—let alone the birthplace of modern democracy.
’ In particular , Trump ’ s attempts to form an autocratic government , one in which political dissidents are thrown in jail and violence in support of the president is quietly supported by the lack of denouncements @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s leader .

On Wednesday, Romney told CNN reporters that he had already voted in the 2020 presidential elections and that he “did not vote for Trump.” However, he would not say if he voted for Joe Biden, a third-party candidate, or if he wrote someone in as the governor of Maryland says he did when he cast his vote for Ronald Reagan.
In a statement released on Twitter last week, Romney said:
‘The president’s unwillingness to denounce an absurd and dangerous conspiracy theory last night continues an alarming pattern: politicians and parties refuse to forcefully and convincingly repudiate groups like antifa, white supremacists and conspiracy peddlers.’
Mitt Romney went public and said he already voted in the election and adds: “I did not vote for President Trump.” He wouldn't say anything more. Hmmm. OK, we'll take it. — Duty To Warn 🔉 (@duty2warn) October 21, 2020
While Romney has routinely vacillated between disparaging Trump’s actions and supporting the majority of his policies in the Senate, including promising to confirm Trump’s Supreme Court nominee while voters are still casting ballots, it’s been apparent for some time that the Republican Party has grown disenchanted with Trump, and Romney has never subscribed to the GOP hero-worship of the reality TV game show host, publicly denouncing Trump’s juvenile, divisive style.

In particular, Trump’s attempts to form an autocratic government, one in which political dissidents are thrown in jail and violence in support of the president is quietly supported by the lack of denouncements, that turned Romney against his party’s leader.
‘The president calls the Democratic vice presidential candidate ‘a monster;’ he repeatedly labels the speaker of the house ‘crazy;’ he calls for the Justice Department to put the prior president in jail; he attacks the governor of Michigan on the very day a ploy is discovered to kidnap her.’
“I look at my race back in 2012 and there was a postmortem done about what we would do to get our party back in line with more of our voters," Romney told me of the RNC autopsy that called for a more inclusive message.

Former New York City mayor and prominent longtime Trump ally Rudy Giuliani was caught engaging in what The Guardian describes as an “ indiscreet encounter ” with a young actress during the production of the new movie Borat Subsequent Moviefilm , which is a satire produced by longtime comedian Sacha Baron Cohen .
In the incident , Giuliani was apparently led to believe that the young actress — 24-year-old Maria Bakalova — was actually a reporter with a far-right news organization .
In the “ interview ” that preceded their trip back to a hotel room , Giuliani makes outrageous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s response to the Coronavirus saved one million American lives .
As for once Giuliani and Bakalova — who he did not know as Bakalova at the time — went back to a hotel room , The Guardian reports the following : ‘ In the film , released on Friday , the former New York mayor and current personal attorney to Donald Trump is seen reaching into his trousers and apparently touching his genitals while reclining on a bed in the presence of the actor playing Borat ’ s daughter , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Following an obsequious interview for a fake conservative news programme , the pair retreat at her suggestion for a drink to the bedroom of a hotel suite , which is rigged with concealed cameras .

The “ indiscreet encounter ” was interrupted when Sacha Baron Cohen — in character as Borat — rushed into the room and exclaimed , “ She ’ s 15 .

A Maryland resident named James Reed has been criminally charged with threats against a major candidate for President or Vice President after he left a letter at the front door of a Biden supporter ’ s home in which he insisted that he would torture and kill the Democratic nominees .

A Maryland resident named James Reed has been criminally charged with threats against a major candidate for President or Vice President after he left a letter at the front door of a Biden supporter’s home in which he insisted that he would torture and kill the Democratic nominees. While there’s no apparent indication that Reed took substantive steps towards being able to accomplish his goals, what is clear is that this incident did not take place in a vacuum. President Donald Trump has helped foster a national political climate of vitriolic hatred, which helps give cover to people like James Reed.
Reed’s personal political affiliation isn’t immediately clear, but it seems safe to assume that he supports Trump. Reed didn’t only threaten Biden and Harris, but his violent letter threatened their supporters as well. On top of the federal criminal charge over targeting the candidates, Reed also faces state criminal charges of threatening mass violence and voter intimidation.
Reed’s letter read, in part:
‘This is a warning to anyone reading this letter if you are a Biden/Harris supporter you will be targeted. We have a list of homes and addresses by your election signs. We are the ones with those scary guns, We are the ones your children have nightmares about.’
CBS Baltimore says that the “rest of the message is too graphic to detail, but claims that they will allegedly beat Biden and sodomize Harris before executing them on national television.”
The Maryland resident who Reed targeted says that they do not know him personally. They note that they had “several” signs outside of their home expressing support for the Democratic ticket, CBS Baltimore adds.
