The Tuesday night presidential debate was a nationally televised metaphorical train wreck, and President Donald Trump is the one who drove it off the rails. He belligerently interrupted Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden ad nauseum, and he even harassed moderator Chris Wallace, as if the petulant excuse for a president took the proceedings about as seriously as a reality television game. During the debate, amidst Trump’s stunning outbursts, Biden looked directly at the camera and called on Americans to vote, thereby getting Trump’s nonsense out of the White House. On Wednesday, former President Barack Obama — who Biden served alongside — shared this clip on Twitter.
In his caption for the video, Obama shared:
‘Joe knows this isn’t about him—it’s about us. Make your plan to vote right now. We’ve got to vote like our democracy depends on it. Because it does.’
In the actual moment from the debate, Biden — who, again, was looking directly at a camera, which he did multiple times during the night — said:
‘Show up and vote. You will determine the outcome of this election. Vote, vote, vote. If you’re able to vote early in your state, vote early. If you’re able to vote in person, vote in person. Vote whatever way is the best way for you.’

Trump has suggested that he may not accept the election results in November and ensure a peaceful transition of power if he loses. Trump and his allies have suggested that they’re going to wait and see what happens before making their determination of whether they’ll accept the election results, but that’s not how democracy works! No one appointed Donald Trump to be the one-stop arbiter of the democratic process.
Biden addressed this issue during the debate. He insisted that if voters turn out in droves against Trump and he loses, then there is no sustainable method by which Trump can stay in power. There’s no “out.” He will have to leave. Biden commented:
‘[If] in fact he says, he’s not sure what he’s going to accept. Well, let me tell you something, it doesn’t matter, because if we get the votes, it’s going to be all over. He’s going to go. He can’t stay in power. It won’t happen. It won’t happen, so vote.’
Early voting is currently underway in some states, and the pace will only pick up as Election Day gets closer.

After nearly three years of investigation into Donald Trump and his campaign ’ s ties to Russia and their alleged collusion with Russian operatives , William Barr was appointed and announced that there was “ no collusion , no obstruction ” found by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team .
The actual report wasn ’ t released for several weeks afterward , and that narrative from Barr stuck even though his summary of the report ’ s findings were more than questionable upon reading Mueller ’ s findings .
The report took several days to be released because Attorney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ privileged ” information , according to the Department of Justice , and the resulting report still didn ’ t hold up to his professions of Trump ’ s innocence .
What wasn ’ t seen in that report , however , soon will be , and the Barr spin on the Mueller team ’ s findings may finally be undone .
After reviewing the documents , the district judge had much to say on Barr ’ s complicity in covering up the truth from the American people .
Saying that Barr lacked candor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the public and damaged his own credibility in the process , Judge Walton ordered that certain redactions be removed because Barr had not shown that they included any privileged information .
So while Trump and Barr are still claiming that the Mueller report found “ no collusion , no obstruction ” – but included at least 10 separate incidences of obstruction and court cases since , such as Roger Stone ’ s , have made the possibility of collusion more questionable , a less heavily redacted report may tell an entirely different story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the DOJ to give him access to an unredacted copy of the report so that he could review their withholdings .
He excoriated the department and Attorney General William Barr at the time for misrepresenting the report ’ s conclusions before it was actually released .

After nearly three years of investigation into Donald Trump and his campaign’s ties to Russia and their alleged collusion with Russian operatives, William Barr was appointed and announced that there was “no collusion, no obstruction” found by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team. The actual report wasn’t released for several weeks afterward, and that narrative from Barr stuck even though his summary of the report’s findings were more than questionable upon reading Mueller’s findings.
"…Attorney General Barr's lack of candor specifically, call into question Attorney General Barr's credibility" and the DOJ's arguments…, the judge added.
Judge orders DOJ to publish info redacted as privileged from Mueller report https://t.co/owcePg96ZM — Richard J Llewellyn Jr (@duhhh_duh) September 30, 2020
The report took several days to be released because Attorney General Barr needed time to redact “privileged” information, according to the Department of Justice, and the resulting report still didn’t hold up to his professions of Trump’s innocence. What wasn’t seen in that report, however, soon will be, and the Barr spin on the Mueller team’s findings may finally be undone.
The Hill reports that:
‘District Judge Reggie Walton said the Trump administration had failed to justify certain redactions from the report on the special counsel’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.’
BREAKING: Barr’s motion to dismiss Andy McCabe’s lawsuit against him is DENIED. They will now proceed to discovery. https://t.co/gALvx4aGyg — Mueller, She Wrote Podcast (@MuellerSheWrote) September 24, 2020
After reviewing the documents, the district judge had much to say on Barr’s complicity in covering up the truth from the American people. Saying that Barr lacked candor in his summary of the report to the public and damaged his own credibility in the process, Judge Walton ordered that certain redactions be removed because Barr had not shown that they included any privileged information.
Judge Walton’s decision stated that:
‘Based on the Court’s review of the unredacted version of the Mueller Report, the Court concludes that the Department has failed to satisfy its burden to demonstrate that the withheld material is protected by the deliberative process privilege.’
Former FBI Director James Comey slams AG Bill Barr for his attacks against the Russia investigation. Probe began under Comey; IG has said it was proper. Barr has said the investigation was "abhorrent" and has taken many steps as AG to undermine its legacy. Comey now pushing back. pic.twitter.com/8jdvFgWB3a — Marshall Cohen (@MarshallCohen) September 30, 2020
So while Trump and Barr are still claiming that the Mueller report found “no collusion, no obstruction” – but included at least 10 separate incidences of obstruction and court cases since, such as Roger Stone’s, have made the possibility of collusion more questionable, a less heavily redacted report may tell an entirely different story.
‘In March, Walton ordered the DOJ to give him access to an unredacted copy of the report so that he could review their withholdings. He excoriated the department and Attorney General William Barr at the time for misrepresenting the report’s conclusions before it was actually released.’
"We did not anticipate the treachery of William Barr," says Andrew Weissmann on @Morning_Joe. "We were basically hoodwinked." Weissmann had a management role under Mueller after running criminal fraud for DOJ. — Cat Rakowski (@catrakowski) September 29, 2020


bipartisanreport--2020-09-30--Judge Starts Contempt Proceedings On Trump Admin Over Corruption On Census

The U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh started contempt of court proceedings at a Tuesday hearing .
She alleged that the Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross defied her order to continue taking the census until November 1 .
Ross has to appear before her Friday .
The contempt charges were directed toward both the Commerce Department and its secretary after the US Census Bureau and Ross tweeted October was their “ Target date ” to wrap up the self-response and field data collection for the 2020 census .

The U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh started contempt of court proceedings at a Tuesday hearing. She alleged that the Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross defied her order to continue taking the census until November 1. Ross has to appear before her Friday.
The contempt charges were directed toward both the Commerce Department and its secretary after the US Census Bureau and Ross tweeted October was their “Target date” to wrap up the self-response and field data collection for the 2020 census.
August Flentje, an attorney for the Commerce Department, expressed frustration about her order to provide administrative documentation on why Ross designated Oct. 5 as a “target date.” He told Bloomberg News:
‘To call this a contempt situation is not reasonable. We need significant time to address something that weighty.’
The attorney called Koh’s labeling the October 5 target date as a “decision.” He described it as “contingency planning for the re-imposition of the December 31st date.”
Koh bit right back. She said she did not care if it is labeled a “pickle” or a “banana.”
‘I’m not invested in what you call it, but I think it’s inconsistent with what I ordered last Thursday.’
In addition, several civil rights and activist groups have already sued the White House, including Ross” for prematurely halting the census data collections on September 30 versus the original date of October 31. Their argument was that this would mean minority groups would be “undercounted.”
As a result of Judge Koh’s finding, the Trump’s White House appealed the case in a higher court.

bipartisanreport--2020-09-30--Kayleigh McEnany Embarrassed After Trying To Spin Trump’s Debate Disaster

There ’ s an old saying that goes “ if you can ’ t beat ’ em , join ’ em.
” In Trump ’ s world , the saying goes , “ if you can ’ t beat ’ em , just tell everyone you did.
” That ’ s exactly what White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany did in an interview on Fox Business , and it was as laughable at best .
Fox Business host Stuart Varney asked McEnany if Donald Trump thought after the debate ended that he had come out on top .
McEnany insisted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was in “ good spirits ” and that he held Biden ’ s feet to the fire while the media never does .
That , she said , is bringing “ the fight ” that America wants to see .
Of course , what Americans who watched the debate said they wanted to see was clear answers on the issues they care about , but Trump gave them none of that .
Varney brought up Trump ’ s childish , yelling over everyone style .
McEnany insisted that was what Americans wanted , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , unemployment , a tanking economy , and racial injustice that Americans say they ’ re concerned about .
Instead , Trump screamed debunked conspiracy theories at both Joe Biden and moderator Chris Matthews , bit out insults about Biden ’ s intelligence , and spewed ridiculous lies .
Varney brought up another subject , but then came back to the debate performances .
McEnany bristled , saying that Biden doesn ’ t even want to debate Trump anymore because he knows he lost .
Actually , Biden didn ’ t bring up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; the media has .
They ’ ve done so because it ’ s clear that debating Trump is pointless .
Biden did , of course , denounce violence but repeated the words of Trump ’ s own FBI Director Chris Wray , who said that antifa is an ideology , it ’ s anti-fascism , but not any kind of organization .

There’s an old saying that goes “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.” In Trump’s world, the saying goes, “if you can’t beat ’em, just tell everyone you did.” That’s exactly what White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany did in an interview on Fox Business, and it was as laughable at best.

Of course, what Americans who watched the debate said they wanted to see was clear answers on the issues they care about, but Trump gave them none of that.
Varney brought up Trump’s childish, yelling over everyone style.
‘However, his style, the frequent interruptions, the frequent interruptions and the talking over everybody, that was a lot from President Trump. And I think that’s what the audience didn’t like and will turn off.”’
McEnany insisted that was what Americans wanted, ignoring the very real issues of COVID-19, unemployment, a tanking economy, and racial injustice that Americans say they’re concerned about. Instead, Trump screamed debunked conspiracy theories at both Joe Biden and moderator Chris Matthews, bit out insults about Biden’s intelligence, and spewed ridiculous lies. Varney brought up another subject, but then came back to the debate performances.
‘What’s your response to this? Biden won simply because he got through the whole 90 minutes, no gaffe, no senior moments, no lack of focus and reasonable amount of energy all the way through. Therefore, he survived, he won.’

McEnany bristled, saying that Biden doesn’t even want to debate Trump anymore because he knows he lost. Actually, Biden didn’t bring up the subject of cancelling the next debates; the media has. They’ve done so because it’s clear that debating Trump is pointless.
‘That’s a really subjective interpretation. I would consider it a pretty big gaffe when asked about antifa, an organization that has killed Americans and targeted police officers, and there’s no condemnation of that group. I consider that a pretty big gaffe along with many others.’
Biden did, of course, denounce violence but repeated the words of Trump’s own FBI Director Chris Wray, who said that antifa is an ideology, it’s anti-fascism, but not any kind of organization.
Trump says Biden "can't say the words" law and order, saying "you saw" this at the debate… …the debate at which Biden said, "Yes, I'm in favor of it. Everybody's in favor of law and order" and continued, "Law and order with justice, where people get treated fairly." — Daniel Dale (@ddale8) September 30, 2020

He ’ s been in power for four years and is still blaming everyone but himself for COVID-19 , a failing economy , and now his disastrous debate performance .
Trump ’ s taunting about “ radical left Democrats ” is in reference to Joe Biden saying that his healthcare plan is not the same as Medicare for All and his climate change policies aren ’ t the Green New Deal .
Voters knew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the primaries and selected Biden as the Democratic candidate that they weren ’ t getting a Bernie Sanders by another name , and Sanders has repeatedly endorsed the former Vice President .
To Trump , however , a politician must appease his most radical voters .

Trump’s taunting about “radical left Democrats” is in reference to Joe Biden saying that his healthcare plan is not the same as Medicare for All and his climate change policies aren’t the Green New Deal. Voters knew when they went to the polls during the primaries and selected Biden as the Democratic candidate that they weren’t getting a Bernie Sanders by another name, and Sanders has repeatedly endorsed the former Vice President.

On Wednesday afternoon , President Donald Trump spoke to reporters outside the White House in his first on-camera comments since a chaotic presidential debate the previous evening .

On Wednesday , Trump claimed that he doesn ’ t even know who the Proud Boys are — but for starters , the debate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which their name emerged made their nature obvious .

He might be lying .

Trump said that the group should “ let law enforcement do their job , ” as if he actually does know that the group operates under the pretext of fighting back against left-wing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Proud Boys are violent , terroristic instigators . )
‘ I don ’ t know who the Proud Boys are .

Law enforcement will do the work more and more .
As people see how bad this radical liberal Democrat movement is , and how weak , our law enforcement ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stronger , but again , I don ’ t know who Proud Boys are .
Whoever they are , they have to stand down ; let law enforcement do their work.
’ Journalist Christopher Orr observed that Trump has made similar dismissive comments in the past after getting confronted about his ties to white supremacists .
In 2016 , he claimed that he was not familiar with Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke , but Trump had publicly spoken about Duke as early as 1991 .
At one point on Wednesday outside the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fine with white supremacists in general .
A reporter asked Trump if he “ welcomes ” the support of white supremacists , and his first response , before he said anything else , was not “ no.

Trump knows the drill. In Feb 2016, it was "I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists." (His public statements on Duke go back to at least 1991, and in 2000 he called him "a Klansman," "a racist" and "a bigot" when Duke joined the Reform Party.) https://t.co/6zfix4xP0D — Christopher Orr (@OrrChris) September 30, 2020
At one point on Wednesday outside the White House, Trump also seemed uneasily fine with white supremacists in general. A reporter asked Trump if he “welcomes” the support of white supremacists, and his first response, before he said anything else, was not “no.”
He said:
‘I want law and order to be a very important part, it’s a very important part of my campaign, and when I say that, what I’m talking about is law enforcement, the police have to take care, and they should stop defunding the police.’
Asked if he denounces white supremacy in particular, Trump said that he “always denounced any form of any of that.” What a remarkably vague statement from the president of the United States.
Watch below:

It shouldn’t be so difficult to get the president of the United States to denounce white supremacy. Besides that issue, Trump raised other ones during the debate, when he also said that he is “urging my supporters to go in to the polls and watch very carefully, because that’s what has to happen,” which sounds like an endorsement of physical intimidation of opponents.

I’m not going to give a lot of advice on debate, but when I heard at the very beginning, when Chris Wallace said here are going to be the rules, ‘two minutes for each side,’ and then open discussion, I thought oh my goodness. I don’t recall that ever being the format.’
It’s worth noting — although ground rules including a provision for “open discussion” are definitely pretty open-ended to begin with, even the loose rules that were in place were quickly ignored. Across the hour-and-a-half long event, there were barely any segments that weren’t marked by an interruption. At points, Trump just would not stop bellowing, as if he was pathologically unwilling to even pretend to have the basic level of decency required to have a normal conversation.
Following the Tuesday night chaos, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) announced that they planned to “carefully” reassess the best path forward. They said:
‘Last night’s debate made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues. The CPD will be carefully considering the changes that it will adopt and will announce those measures shortly.’

At this point, it’s clear — Trump has essentially nothing to offer the American people other than desperate bluster. He’s a failure and a history-making humiliation.

What ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is a group of primates fighting , throwing things , and making fools of themselves .
It may not be real video , but it ’ s accurate in tone .
Trump walked onto a debate stage on Tuesday night , angry and combative , and threw insults at his opponent while never answering fully any questions on policy or plans , never rebuking the white supremacist groups who support him , and never getting a single fact right .
Meanwhile , Trump ’ s debate prep team seems to have consisted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Christie and White House advisor and Trump son-in-law , Jared Kushner , two political figures with a long history of disaccord .

Teasing viewers with promises of a “leaked” tape of Donald Trump’s debate prep against Joe Biden, the video pans down a long hotel hallway before entering the “debate prep room” to show details of the Trump team’s strategy. What’s found inside the room, however, is a group of primates fighting, throwing things, and making fools of themselves.
It may not be real video, but it’s accurate in tone. Trump walked onto a debate stage on Tuesday night, angry and combative, and threw insults at his opponent while never answering fully any questions on policy or plans, never rebuking the white supremacist groups who support him, and never getting a single fact right. Meanwhile, Trump’s debate prep team seems to have consisted of just former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and White House advisor and Trump son-in-law, Jared Kushner, two political figures with a long history of disaccord. The amateur hour was apparent during Trump’s debate as he failed to rise to the occasion and instead spent the night screaming at his opponent and, even more alarmingly, at the debate moderator, Chris Wallace.
The video, meant to be a joke, was quite controversial on Twitter. Many of the comments stated that the time for jokes is long past and that things have become too serious for laughter, while others disagreed. Read some of their comments below:

Trump does not want them to change. He could always totally disregard them, but POTUS showed his hand. Things could get difficult for the man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office.
The millions of viewers became disgusted and frustrated with the Cleveland-based debate. Most of the blame for that went to Trump for his childish name-calling. But people were not crazy about the former vice president calling the president “a clown” and for telling him to “Shut up.” Still, many viewers were already saying that and worse.
The major source of the audience’s frustration was when Trump kept up rapid-fire interruptions when Biden tried to give a response. The president full-well knew that his technique would interfere with Biden’s ability to control his stuttering — a diabolical stunt. His plan was to give the appearance that the Democratic candidate was befuddled.
On Thursday, Donald Trump suggested that he would not accept any expected changes to the rules for his remaining debates with the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. He tweeted:
‘Why would I allow the Debate Commission to change the rules for the second and third Debates when I easily won last time?’
The Twitter post came a day after the Commission on Presidential Debates announced it would be making changes to the formats of the next two debates. One commission recommendation under consideration has been cutting the candidate’s mike for violating the rules.
The commission decided on Wednesday, according to CNBC:
‘Last night’s debate made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues. [It] intends to ensure that additional tools to maintain order are in place for the remaining debates.’
White House Spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said:
‘With regard to the commission rule changes, the president made clear his view on that yesterday, that he thinks the only way there’s a fair debate is a change in the moderator and a change in the Democrat nominee’
McEnany continued:
‘He wants to debate, he plans on being at the debate, but he wants the rules to be fair and wants a fair exchange and doesn’t want rules that cover for a certain candidate’s inability to perform well.’
Trump’s Spokesperson Tim Murtaugh said:
‘They’re only doing this because their guy got pummeled last night. President Trump was the dominant force and now Joe Biden is trying to work the refs. They shouldn’t be moving the goalposts and changing the rules in the middle of the game.’
Of course, POTUS added a snide comment:
‘Try getting a new Anchor and a smarter Democrat candidate!’
But on Wednesday, Biden had said changes were needed:
‘I just hope there’s a way in which the debate commission can control the ability of us to answer the question without interruption.’
Twitter world went nuts over this news. Check out what Americans had to say about it:

The purpose of the commission was to create a report for Attorney General William Barr in October .
This report was to include a proposed set of “ law and order ” reforms .
The judge said the panel would not be able to continue with its work products until it does so , and that could be well after the November elections .

A federal judge was not happy and ruled on Thursday that the panel “ broke a federal open @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to put down their pencils , paper , and computers and walk out of the room .
U.S. District Judge John Bates told them they could not go back to work until they complied with the law .
Uh , oh .

POTUS appointed what he called a “ blue-ribbon law enforcement panel.

Basically , Bates ’ 45-page ruling was built around a 1972 transparency law .
At its heart was .
the need for the panel to be “ fairly balanced ’ in its member make-up .
The judge said populating it with only members of the law enforcement community did not meet that bar .

Nor does it include any criminal defense attorney , academic , civic leader , or representative of a community organization or social service organization .
Instead , all eighteen Commissioners are current or former law enforcement .
This precisely the type of imbalance that FACA sought to prevent.
’ The San Francisco-located 9th Circuit decided that the “ fair balance ” requirement in FACA was too broad for the courts to decide , Bates wrote .
However , he believed stare decisis ( settled law ) came down on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in grievous situations such as this one .
In addition , Judge Bates rejected the Department of Justice ’ s ( DOJ ) legal arguments that this panel could be exempted from the transparency rule , because it fell within a 1995 exemption .
That exemption applied to committees which only worked on situations between the “ federal and state , local or tribal governments.
” The judge continued writing that as the DOJ defined this exemption , there would be “ no limiting principle.
” In other words , that would take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law .
Thus far , the panel has held 14 of the meetings by teleconference due to the coronavirus pandemic-limited face-to-face meetings .
The panel ’ s attorneys argued that the majority of the meetings were public with a transcript and audio recording .
Judge Bates added that the DOJ admitted the meetings were not public when applied to the transparency statute .

In the aftermath of the chaotic first presidential debate earlier this week between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee is maintaining a strong standing in a prominent electoral college forecast. As of Thursday afternoon, FiveThirtyEight gives Biden an 80 percent chance of winning the presidency. Although he’s had a high standing for awhile, it’s the apparent first time that Biden has hit the 80 percent mark in FiveThirtyEight’s forecast.
Broken down into specific electoral vote totals, as of Thursday afternoon, FiveThirtyEight estimates a final total of 335 electoral votes for Biden and just 203 for Trump. (In 2016, for comparison, Trump got 304 electoral votes and Clinton got 227.) The forecast also includes an estimate for final national popular vote totals, and in the numbers, FiveThirtyEight currently estimates a final total of 52.9 percent of the national popular vote for Biden and just 45.8 percent for Trump. Although Clinton also won in the national popular vote in 2016, her lead was significantly smaller than the Biden estimate, which provided Trump with the opportunity to rack up enough individual states to secure a win in the electoral college.
As of Thursday afternoon, FiveThirtyEight’s average of national level polling data has Biden with an impressive 7.9 percent lead. Although the sites seem to sometimes calculate their averages differently, for a rough comparison, Hillary Clinton led Trump by merely 2.7 percent in the RealClearPolitics average of national level polling on October 1, 2016. Thus, Biden seems to be in a significantly stronger poll position than Clinton was. Americans have gotten a chance to see the chaos of the Trump administration for four long years; Trump, through his belligerence and consistent refusal to take crises like the Coronavirus pandemic with the systematic seriousness that they demand, has put American lives on the line.
There’s one noteworthy piece of data that suggests that Democrats may already be on their way to getting Trump out of office. Among ballots that have already been cast for which party affiliation data is available (which has been compiled by University of Florida Professor Michael McDonald), Democrats have a huge lead. States including Florida, Iowa, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania report affiliation data for their ballots, and among 686,705 across all of those states as of Thursday afternoon, 54.7 percent have been cast by Democrats. Even unaffiliated voters have cast more ballots from that total — 23.2 percent of the Thursday afternoon total came from them. Just 21.4 percent came from the GOP.


bipartisanreport--2020-10-01--Kayleigh McEnany Embarrasses Herself During Public Thursday Debacle

The White House is continuing to face pressure over President Donald Trump ’ s dodgy answers on white supremacy , which should not be difficult and arduous to get a condemnation for from the president of the United States and his top allies .
On Thursday at a White House press conference , White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany sparred with Fox News reporter John Roberts over the issue after Roberts asked McEnany for an unequivocal and straightforward on-the-record condemnation of white supremacy .
In her rush to try and discredit the media , she still struggled to provide unequivocal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earlier this week , moderator Chris Wallace asked Trump if he would condemn white supremacists , and he said “ sure ” — but then he never actually did .
The next day , a reporter outside the White House asked Trump the same question , and his initial response was that he supports “ law and order ” — which , of course , has absolutely nothing to do with white supremacist groups .
He did eventually claim that he has consistently condemned white supremacists — but that ’ s not true @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he ’ s stumbled big time on the issue .
On Thursday , after Roberts ’ s initial request for an unequivocal condemnation of white supremacy from McEnany , she said : ‘ This has been answered , yesterday by the president himself , the day before by the president himself on the debate stage , the president was asked this , he said “ sure ” three times .
Yesterday , he was point-blank asked , do you denounce white supremacy , and he said I ’ ve always denounced any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for you , in August 2019 , “ In one voice our nation must condemn racism , bigotry , white supremacy.
” In August 2017 : “ Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals… ” I have an entire list of these quotes I can go through with you .
He has condemned white supremacy more than any president in modern history.
’ Why couldn ’ t she have just provided an unequivocal and on-the-record condemnation of white supremacy right then and there without resorting to her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there no issue of national importance that the Trump administration is unwilling to subsume into their endless chaos campaigns ?
Roberts noted that McEnany reading off old statements is not the same thing as a new , concrete establishment of the White House ’ s position on the issue .
She ranted in reply : Check out the debacle below :

He has condemned white supremacy more than any president in modern history.’
Why couldn’t she have just provided an unequivocal and on-the-record condemnation of white supremacy right then and there without resorting to her familiar attacks on the media? Is there no issue of national importance that the Trump administration is unwilling to subsume into their endless chaos campaigns?
Roberts noted that McEnany reading off old statements is not the same thing as a new, concrete establishment of the White House’s position on the issue. She ranted in reply:
‘[Trump’s] record on this is unmistakable, and it’s shameful the media refuses to cover it.’

bipartisanreport--2020-10-01--Wisconsin Mayor Publicly Snubs Trump Ahead Of Rally In State

President Donald Trump is holding a pair of rallies in Wisconsin on Saturday , despite the fact that the state has recently been facing rising Coronavirus cases , hospitalizations , and deaths .
Consistently , the Trump campaign has held rallies with essentially no meaningful social distancing or other public health measures in place , which means that the rallies could be catalysts for rapid spread of the Coronavirus among local communities if the pathogen happens to be present on site .
On CNN this week prior to the rally , La Crosse , Wisconsin ’ s Tim Kabat — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump will be visiting this weekend — said that he wants to see the rally at least put on hold “ based on what we ’ re experiencing right now.

As of the time of the mayor ’ s appearance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ event had apparently not been finalized .
Camerota subsequently noted that the White House ’ s own Coronavirus response task force has designated Wisconsin communities as a “ red zone ” for community spread of the Coronavirus , and yet , the president ’ s team is still planning a social distancing-free event anyway .
To be clear : over 200,000 Americans have died due to the Coronavirus , and millions have been infected .
This issue is not a matter of mere convenience , and it is not simply a case of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as the president has so ludicrously claimed in the past .
Americans are dying on his watch .
Asked if he knows why the president might be ignoring the counsel of his own administration ’ s task force , Kabat commented : ‘ I do not understand .
I think that ’ s something that we expect out of our leaders is to really lead by example .
And in this case , obviously , it ’ s ‘ Do as I say , not as I do , ’ and coming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talking about trying to again keep people safe , get our economy back to a place where it was before COVID — we lose all kind of confidence here with these high numbers , and not to mention obviously the impacts to our health systems and to our communities .

Donald Trump was an abysmal loser in the first Presidential elections, but he believed that he gave a stellar performance. The people around him who had the courage to express their disagreement with him are long gone. Those remaining White House officials might have disagreed, too, but they went around keeping silent. Why?
People do not call Trump a loser and stupid, or simply “No” unless they want to crawl up into the president’s tinder box and set themselves on fire. It must be a hellish existence.
However, the pollsters were busy, and they showed a far-different viewpoint from Trump. Thursday morning, POTUS started out with a post declaring victory:
‘I won the debate big, based on compilation of polls etc. Thank you!’
Senator Moscow Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said according to The Fix News:
‘If Trump wins the televised encounter and improves his chances of re-election, there is a greater probability that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his colleagues would devote more time to boosting the economy and their chances of holding onto the upper chamber. In this case, the greenback could fall while stocks and gold would shine.’
Fox News’s Sean Hannity jumped onto the wagon to hell and agreed with the president:
‘Early reviews, instant response, instant polls. I’m sure the, you know, the main steam media will have corrupt polls, as they always do, but those are the two flash polls that we have already.’
Grinnell College reported their articles:
‘I’m going to mention some people in the news. For each, please tell me if your feelings are very favorable, mostly favorable, mostly unfavorable, or very unfavorable. If you don’t know enough about the person to answer, just say so. ‘
CNN had asked its respondents before the debate whom they expected to win. Biden had the advantage there, too, by 13 points, according to Washington Post. Tellingly, Trump was far less likely to have been declared the winner than respondents expected, across party groups.
The CBS poll was just released its most recent one: ‘A poll released by CBS News and conducted by YouGov had a narrower margin of victory for Biden, with 48 percent viewing him as the winner and 41 percent saying that Trump prevailed.’
The interviewer asked the interviewees before and after the debate: ‘how they viewed the candidates on three qualities: physical and mental stamina, honesty or trustworthiness, and the extent to which the candidates seemed to care about voters like them. The debate did little to change people’s views of Trump or Biden on these measures, with Trump maintaining an advantage on stamina and Biden being viewed as more honest and caring.’
The Fortune magazine reported:
‘Throughout the morning, the gap had widened further. As of 7 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Biden had taken a 20-point advantage (59.3% to 39%) in win probability for the White House, according to Election Betting Odds.’
The Politico reported a 19-point margin win in poll including race relations:
‘Voters also prefer Biden on race relations by a 19-point margin. Though a narrow majority of voters still view the Black Lives Matter movement favorably, bipartisan support has eroded over the past two months, as Trump has encouraged police violence against protesters, called the Black Lives Matter movement a “symbol of hate,” “discriminatory,” “Marxist” and “bad for Black people.” This week, Trump has tried to pin blame on Biden for violence in American cities.’
The Vox claimed that the president lost:
‘A new poll by Data for Progress provided exclusively to Vox shows that viewers thought Democratic nominee Joe Biden decisively won Tuesday’s first presidential debate against President Donald Trump, by a 52-39 margin.’

He claimed , for instance , that Mexico is “ paying for ” the southern border barriers that his administration has been working on , but this claim is entirely untrue .
Mexico is not paying for the wall .
Trump also went on a xenophobic anti-refugee rant , insisting that a Biden administration “ will turn Minnesota into a refugee camp , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ Biden ’ s team ] pledged a 700 percent increase in refugees — 700 percent !
Congratulations , Minnesota — congratulations… [ U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar ( D-Minn. ) ] tells us how to run our country ; can you believe it ?
How the hell did Minnesota elect her ?
What the hell is wrong with you people ?

Outside the rally, there was an incident in which an angry Trump supporter violently attacked a journalist, and inside, Trump made such a spectacle of himself that he at one point started half-dancing to the Village People song “Y.M.C.A.” No half-hearted dances are going to make Americans suddenly forget the spectacle of belligerence that Trump displayed at a presidential debate earlier this week, when he interrupted Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden dozens of times.

In his actual remarks in Minnesota, Trump spread some of his usual but no less obtuse nonsense. He claimed, for instance, that Mexico is “paying for” the southern border barriers that his administration has been working on, but this claim is entirely untrue. Mexico is not paying for the wall. Trump also went on a xenophobic anti-refugee rant, insisting that a Biden administration “will turn Minnesota into a refugee camp,” which is outrageous racist fearmongering.
Trump said:
‘[Biden’s team] pledged a 700 percent increase in refugees — 700 percent! Congratulations, Minnesota — congratulations… [U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.)] tells us how to run our country; can you believe it? How the hell did Minnesota elect her? What the hell is wrong with you people? What the hell happened?.. AOC also; it’s time. It’s time. You take a look at what they did; the corruption, the disgusting corruption. 700 percent increase, the refugees, coming from the most dangerous places in the world… Biden will turn Minnesota into a refugee camp.’
Watch his comments below:

This rant is racist, period. Ilhan Omar is an immigrant from Somalia — and an American citizen and duly elected member of the United States Congress. She doesn’t tell “us how to run our country.” This is her country. Trump’s supporters booed the mere mention of the country of Somalia — the racism is brazen and appalling, and this nonsense is what Trump has to offer the American people as Election Day approaches.


bipartisanreport--2020-10-01--Michelle Obama Issues Post Debate Rallying-Cry To Americans

The presidential debate that took place this past Tuesday was a disaster thanks to the endless petulant interruptions from President Donald Trump , who repeatedly adamantly refused to let Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden speak without interruption .
Trump sounded as though he was pathologically unwilling to even attempt to hold a stable conversation with someone other than one of his closest sycophants — it was a national and international embarrassment .
Following the debate , former First Lady Michelle Obama issued a public statement calling on Americans to turn their disgust with Trump into action and vote him out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turned off by the President ’ s behavior last night , I feel you .
Believe me , I do .
But we can ’ t let him win by tuning out altogether .
That ’ s what he wants .
So turn those feelings into action—turn them into votes for my friend , [ Joe Biden ] .
’ She added that voting Trump out of office is “ the only way we can get out of this chaos and restore some stability to this country , ” and she said that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to everyone ” they know and making sure that they ’ re registered to vote so that they can cast their ballots without a hitch as Election Day itself rolls closer .
The former First Lady also insisted that “ in this election , we ’ ve got to vote for Joe in numbers that can not be denied.
” Trump has threatened to reject the election results and refused to commit to ensuring a peaceful transition of power if he loses , insisting that he ’ ll wait and see what happens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appointed Donald Trump to be the arbiter of democracy !
He has used conspiracy theories about supposed fraud problems with mail-in ballots as boosts for his threats against the election , but there is no evidence for his claims of some kind of system-threatening fraud — but he ’ s working to dupe his supporters into believing in it anyway .
At the debate , Trump seemed to endorse physical intimidation of opposing voters , insisting that he is “ urging [ his ] supporters to go in to the polls and watch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what has to happen.

Make sure they know how and when they’re going to vote. And then follow up with them, every day, to make sure they cast their ballot. Because in this election, we’ve got to vote for Joe in numbers that cannot be denied. https://t.co/vS12U5kabm — Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) October 1, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-10-01--Trump Supporter Violently Attacks Journalist At Latest Rally

At a Wednesday night Trump rally in Duluth , Minnesota , a Trump supporter ( whose name has not been apparently publicly identified ) violently attacked a local photojournalist who was on the scene , working with a local CBS affiliate .
Photojournalist Dymanh Chhoun , whose particular CBS affiliate is called WCCO , “ was attacked by a Trump supporter who was confronting a group of Joe Biden supporters , ” as the outlet reports .

This incident did not take place in a vacuum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rhetoric against his political opponents , including interests in the media .
Although it ’ s unclear what the violent Trump supporter knew about Chhoun and his job and reason for being on the scene , Chhoun was clearly filming at the time of the incident .
Trump has repeatedly pushed the violent , totalitarianism-leaning idea that mainstream journalists who he disagrees with — a group essentially including the majority of journalists as a whole — are the “ enemy of the people.
” Trump is turning his supporters against the media and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the issue of violence on the part of Trump ’ s supporters emerged during the contentious presidential debate that took place this past Tuesday .
Moderator Chris Wallace asked Trump if he would “ urge [ his ] supporters to stay calm during this extended period , not to engage in any civil unrest ” in the event of delayed election results , and Trump ’ s immediate response was not an unequivocal yes .

I am outraged by this violent attack on my @wcco colleague,friend &photojournalist @Dymanh in Duluth- I am so thankful he was not hurt.
