bipartisanreport--2020-09-23--Brand New Swing State Polling Reveals Six-State Biden Sweep

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden continues to lead in important polls across the country .
In a new set of polling from CNBC/ Change Research , Biden leads President Donald Trump in six swing states , including Arizona , Florida , Michigan , North Carolina , Pennsylvania , and Wisconsin .
Across the states , Biden has a 4 percent advantage , but his leads in a selection of the individual states are higher .
In Wisconsin , for instance , Biden leads by 9 percent in the latest polling .
Similarly , in Michigan he leads by 8 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percent .
Trump won every single one of the six swing states in question in 2016 .
Biden would not have to secure victories in the whole list of states in order to successfully deny Trump a second term in office .
Together , Florida and Michigan alone have 45 electoral votes .
If all else stayed the same as it was in the 2016 results , switching those two states alone from Trump to Biden would mean a Biden victory .
In the new Michigan polling data , Biden had 51 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percent support level bodes well for the stability of his lead , since no number of undecided voters would be able to shift the state to Trump if Biden successfully secures that level of support in the final election results .
In the CNBC/ Change Research data , Biden ’ s leads were smallest in North Carolina , Florida , and Pennsylvania , where he led by 2 percent , 3 percent , and 4 percent , respectively .
FiveThirtyEight estimates that Pennsylvania is the state that ’ s most likely to deliver @ @ @ @ @ @ @ winning candidate this November ; in other words , it ’ s the most likely “ tipping point , ” they estimate .
They forecast that Florida is the second most likely “ tipping point ” state , followed by Wisconsin , Arizona , and Michigan .

If all else stayed the same as it was in the 2016 results, switching those two states alone from Trump to Biden would mean a Biden victory. In the new Michigan polling data, Biden had 51 percent of the support, and his above-50 percent support level bodes well for the stability of his lead, since no number of undecided voters would be able to shift the state to Trump if Biden successfully secures that level of support in the final election results.
In the CNBC/ Change Research data, Biden’s leads were smallest in North Carolina, Florida, and Pennsylvania, where he led by 2 percent, 3 percent, and 4 percent, respectively.

Cindy McCain, the wife of the late John McCain, has endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. After Cindy’s endorsement came out, Donald Trump promptly rushed to Twitter to complain, as if he doesn’t have actual real-world crises that he’s supposed to be dealing with, since he is the president, after all. He insisted that he “hardly” knows Cindy, and complained about her late husband, yet again, who he outrageously blamed for “So many BAD decisions on Endless Wars & the V.A.” During a Wednesday morning appearance on Good Morning America, Cindy reacted to the president’s tweet. She shook her head in apparent incredulity at the president’s belligerent pettiness and insisted that she had no comment.
I hardly know Cindy McCain other than having put her on a Committee at her husband’s request. Joe Biden was John McCain’s lapdog. So many BAD decisions on Endless Wars & the V.A., which I brought from a horror show to HIGH APPROVAL. Never a fan of John. Cindy can have Sleepy Joe! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 23, 2020

Trump blames John McCain for “bad decisions” at the Department of Veterans Affairs, but it’s McCain himself who co-sponsored Veteran’s Choice legislation that opened up opportunities for veterans to get medical care outside of the VA hospital system if they ran into obstacles within the system. Trump signed an extension of the program into law, but he is not the one who is personally responsible for enacting Veteran’s Choice provisions. He’s just not — McCain co-sponsored it alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, and it was signed into law by then-President Barack Obama.
Notably, Trump’s angry antagonism towards the McCains comes after he feverishly tried to deny a report in The Atlantic that claimed that he had referred to fallen American service members as “losers” and “suckers.” These comments are not that far off from the public comments that Trump has made over and over again, so the alleged behind-the-scenes disparagement of those who have given their lives on behalf of the United States is not exactly hard to believe! What’s Trump ever really done of significance for someone other than himself anyway?

Those behind the anti-Trump conservative group known as The Lincoln Project are among the many Americans who are fed up with President Donald Trump ’ s belligerence towards the very foundation of American democracy .
This week , Trump refused to even commit to a peaceful transfer of power following his time in office , insisting that if you “ get rid of the ballots , ” then there won ’ t even need to be a transfer at all ; he ’ ll just continue in office .
None of this nonsense is how democracy works !
In a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , speaking for Americans as a whole , that “ we will vote ” and Trump “ will go ” — period .
As they put it in the caption : Check out the video below : The specific ballots that Trump seems to have been referring to with his insinuation that authorities could and/or should “ get rid ” of ballots are mail-ins .
Trump has consistently alleged that “ mail-in ” and/or “ universal mail-in ” ballots are ripe with fraud , but this claim is baseless , even though he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he has claimed — as The Lincoln Project noted in their new video — that the only way that he ’ ll lose if is the election is “ rigged ” against him .
This claim is untrue ; intelligence officials from within the Trump administration itself have rebuffed the president .
An FBI official , for instance , recently said that authorities “ have not seen , to date , a coordinated national voter fraud effort during a major election and it would be extraordinarily difficult to change a federal election outcome @ @ @ @ @ @ @ given the range of processes that we need to be affected or compromised by an adversary at the local level.

There is literally nothing that Donald Trump and his spokespeople can drag out against former Vice President Joe Biden or the Democratic Party that wouldn ’ t be pure irony at this point , but using a well-known Q Anon conspiracy theory on Thursday , Donald Trump Jr. attempted to do just that and found out quickly why it was a very bad idea .
At a speaking event in New Hampshire , Junior tried pushing conspiracy theories straight from the Q Anon conspiracy webpage .
Q Anon followers believe that Donald Trump is on a mission from God to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and liberal elites , and yet that isn ’ t insane enough to detract the Trumps from shilling for their votes .
Saying that Democrats are trying to “ normalize pedophila , ” Junior got a quick response from an onlooker who shouted “ your dad raped 22 women !

Ivana later said that she wasn ’ t defining the incident as rape in the legal sense of the word , but the incident she described in that deposition meets the legal definition of rape .
Besides those three women , 24 other women have accused the president of other forms of sexual assault , such as groping and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ harassment .
Junior would do well to avoid discussions of sexual abuse on the campaign trail .
Twitter was just as critical of Junior as the heckler in New Hampshire .

Then, hours before McCabe was set to retire and draw his retirement benefits after a long FBI career, Trump had him fired, too. McCabe sued the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleging that being fired was actually “retaliation” by Donald Trump:
”Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe says in a new lawsuit that Director Chris Wray wouldn’t tell him why he was demoted from that job. He says “Wray and (then-Attorney General Jeff) Sessions had agreed not to discuss the specific reason” with him.’
At the president’s behest, Attorney General Bill Barr tried to get McCabe’s lawsuit dismissed in court, but no luck. The judge just ruled on Thursday that “the wrongful termination suit will move forward:”
‘It was Trump’s unconstitutional plan and scheme to discredit and remove DOJ and FBI employees who were deemed to be his partisan opponents because they were not politically loyal to him.’
Congress Reporter for The POLITICO Kyle Cheney tweeted the news a “federal judge *denied* Barr’s “political retaliation:”
‘JUST IN: A federal judge has *denied* AG Barr’s effort to dismiss Andrew McCABE’s lawsuit alleging he was fired as an act of political retaliation. The case now moves to discovery.’

bipartisanreport--2020-09-24--Obama Issues Call-To-Action Rallying America To Defeat Trump

This week , via NowThis News , former President Barack Obama ( who remains popular after leaving office ) issued a call to action for Americans .
He insisted that folks need to weigh the imminent redistricting process when making their choices this November in the next round of elections .
Next year , Congressional and state legislative district lines will be redrawn across the country , and this process can be and has already been co-opted for partisan political gain .
For example , Republicans could draw the lines in order to break up populations of their usual opponents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ districts , which would mean that Republicans would the majority in as many districts as possible , even if overall , there ’ s a huge number of constituents who definitely do not support the GOP .
Nevertheless , if Republicans are able to redraw lines in this way , then they may be able to more easily hold onto power in the future and impose their ideological agenda across the country .
Obama has some experience with this issue .
In the NowThis video , he pointed out that despite widespread public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and gun violence during his presidency , Republicans in Congress resisted , and little was done .
Their ideological agenda flatly did not reflect the majority public opinion — but they pushed ahead with it anyway , and the co-opting of district line drawing for political ends ( which is called gerrymandering ) helps fuel this disconnect .
‘ In this election , the state leaders we elect will help redraw electoral districts all across the country… These maps will stand for 10 years .
That could mean a decade of fairly drawn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in their government , or it could mean a decade of unfair , partisan gerrymandering… This year , educate yourself on the candidates at every level on your ballot .
They can make a profound impact on your community and our country.
’ Obama also noted that “ lately , we ’ ve been seeing our critical ” that local leaders are .
After all , he noted , these local leaders can “ determine our pandemic response , or lack thereof , ” “ can work to improve policing strategies , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can work to protect your vote , or try to silence you.

Next year, Congressional and state legislative district lines will be redrawn across the country, and this process can be and has already been co-opted for partisan political gain. For example, Republicans could draw the lines in order to break up populations of their usual opponents, placing portions of them in different districts, which would mean that Republicans would the majority in as many districts as possible, even if overall, there’s a huge number of constituents who definitely do not support the GOP. Nevertheless, if Republicans are able to redraw lines in this way, then they may be able to more easily hold onto power in the future and impose their ideological agenda across the country.
Obama has some experience with this issue. In the NowThis video, he pointed out that despite widespread public support for action on issues including immigration and gun violence during his presidency, Republicans in Congress resisted, and little was done. Their ideological agenda flatly did not reflect the majority public opinion — but they pushed ahead with it anyway, and the co-opting of district line drawing for political ends (which is called gerrymandering) helps fuel this disconnect.

They can make a profound impact on your community and our country.’
Obama also noted that “lately, we’ve been seeing our critical” that local leaders are.

Mary Trump — the president ’ s niece , who recently released a book that was harshly critical of her uncle — has filed a lawsuit accusing the president , his sister Maryanne , and their late brother Robert of financial crimes .
According to Mary , these crimes had the net effect of fraudulently denigrating her assets in the family estate that she should have had a part of .
According to the suit , Donald and his siblings “ exploited ” the family real estate business “ to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone around them.

Mary ’ s lawsuit says , in part : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s team says that the defendants in her lawsuit — meaning the president and his siblings — got their father , Fred Trump Sr. , to formally designate them as the executors of his estate .

Mary Trump — the president’s niece, who recently released a book that was harshly critical of her uncle — has filed a lawsuit accusing the president, his sister Maryanne, and their late brother Robert of financial crimes. According to Mary, these crimes had the net effect of fraudulently denigrating her assets in the family estate that she should have had a part of. According to the suit, Donald and his siblings “exploited” the family real estate business “to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone around them.” That alleged financial exploitation included transferring money out of Mary’s interests to their own under fraudulent pretenses, among other issues.
According to Mary’s lawsuit, the Trump siblings’ schemes deprived Mary of “tens of millions of dollars or more.” Mary is the daughter of Fred Trump, Jr., who seems to have been unpopular in the family, did not participate in the family real estate business to any major extent, and died in the 1980s of alcoholism complications. Mary’s lawsuit says, in part:
‘For Donald J. Trump, his sister Maryanne, and their late brother Robert, fraud was not just the family business — it was a way of life. They concocted scheme after scheme to cheat on their taxes, swindle their business partners, and jack up rents on their low-income tenants.’
Among other alleged behavior, Mary’s team says that the defendants in her lawsuit — meaning the president and his siblings — got their father, Fred Trump Sr., to formally designate them as the executors of his estate. The move, it appears, gave them the excuse to deny rights to Mary Trump as they wished. The siblings targeted Mary through fraudulent transfers of money from her interests to their own that were made under the false pretense of legitimate business transactions, fraudulent appraisals and financial statements that were meant to further tamp down the value of her interests, and pressure to sign “a stack of fraudulent valuations and financial statements,” as her lawsuit explained it.
The allegations include a laundry list of specific crimes, including fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, two counts of civil conspiracy, breach of fiduciary duty, and aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. Mary says that she learned of the Trump siblings’ breach of their fiduciary duty towards her via a lengthy article about the Trump family finances that The New York Times published in 2018.
This week, Mary said:
‘My father died when I was still a teenager, and my uncles Donald and Robert and aunt Maryanne were supposed to be protecting me as my trustees and fiduciaries. Recently, I learned that rather than protecting me, they instead betrayed me by working together in secret to steal from me, by telling lie after lie about the value of what I had inherited, and by conning me into giving everything away for a fraction of its true value. I am bringing this case to hold them accountable and to recover what is rightfully mine.’
The president has previously mocked Mary as “unstable.” There is, of course, no particular evidence for this insult. The president is the one who seems to struggle to let even the slightest criticism slide.

While serving as vice president, Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, had financial entanglements with various possibly questionable sources — and that’s it. During a Thursday interview on Fox Radio, Trump claimed that the then-vice president “knew everything” about his son’s business dealings, but there’s no apparent evidence supporting this claim.
On Thursday morning, Trump tweeted:
‘Russian Billionaire wired Hunter Biden 3 1/2 Million Dollars. This on top of all of the other money he received while Joe was V.P. Crooked as can be, but Fake Mainstream Media wants it to just go away!’

No, the fact that Hunter Biden was paid money is not as “Crooked as can be.” Hunter Biden was not in public office or trying to gain public office, and there’s no indication that he may be doing so any time soon, so it’s not as though this money could have posed immediate conflict of interest problems for government policy.
Meanwhile, the evidence that Joe Biden was somehow in cahoots with his son’s business dealings is just not there. One point that Trump and his allies have repeatedly pointed to is that Joe helped pressure Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who looked into a business that his son had worked with, Burisma Holdings. In fact, pressure against that prosecutor was official United States government policy, because the official was widely seen as corrupt. Removing them meant that an investigation into Burisma might have even been more likely to be launched, if one was warranted.

Usually , he robs banks with a naked face and an appointment .
His son-in-law Jared Kushner thought it would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people sick and dying from the coronavirus , do nothing , then blame the blue state governors .
Of course , that did not work out as planned .
Now , he is explaining that if he took out all the coronavirus in blue states , his death numbers would not be so bad .
He is currently sending out his armies of volunteer door-knockers .
They wear masks , but even masks are not a sure-fire protection about this very nasty disease .
It attacks people ’ s blood vessels , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leads to inflammation spreading throughout the body , attacking various organs .
And that is just what we understand about it .
We really do not know the long-term complications .
That is why any day that does not lead with the 203,091 dead and nearly 7,000,000 sick American loved ones is a good day for Donald Trump .
So , no wonder Virginia Department of Public Health District Director Dr. Natasha Dwamena sent a letter to the company leasing the hangar .
She warned about the 4,0000 people who plan on packing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ News/Williamsburg International Airport sans masks .
She explained that this will be breaking Governor Ralph Northam ’ s executive order that bans all groups larger than 250 people .
She urged the campaign and its potential attendees to reschedule it or just limit the number of people to .

Dr. Dwarnena wrote : Trump said that he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue , and no one would care .
Maybe , his fans did not realize that he meant to shoot them .
Every time there is a rally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crowds .
Every time he makes fun of people wearing masks , he fires more COVID-19 bullets into a crowd 100-fold larger .
Every time he tells his vapid followers that the coronavirus is “ a hoax ” or young people can not catch it , he intentionally hits up to 90 percent of his supporters .
That is the percent of Americans left to get infected .
The thing is , Donald Trump does not care if they die , as long as most of them can crawl to the voting machines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The doctor ’ s top health and transportation people sent letters to the airport officials throughout the state .
These letters reminded them they have “ the authority to enforce ” state laws .
Conservative radio talk show host and chair of the Virginia Trump campaign delegation John Fredericks just blamed the Democrats for playing politics : Fredericks noted that the Trump campaign ’ s internal polling data shows the race in Virginia ever-tightening .
That may or may not be true .
The fish stinks from the head down , and this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hillary Clinton easily won the state in 2016 .
Reporters asked the man who rarely sits in the Oval Office about the danger of contracting the virus at his rallies .
After all , his top Black supporter and pizza magnate Herman Cain died two weeks after he attended Trump ’ s Oklahoma rally .

Every time there is a rally, he fires coronavirus bullets into the crowds. Every time he makes fun of people wearing masks, he fires more COVID-19 bullets into a crowd 100-fold larger.
Every time he tells his vapid followers that the coronavirus is “a hoax” or young people cannot catch it, he intentionally hits up to 90 percent of his supporters. That is the percent of Americans left to get infected. The thing is, Donald Trump does not care if they die, as long as most of them can crawl to the voting machines and pull the levers for him.
The doctor’s top health and transportation people sent letters to the airport officials throughout the state. These letters reminded them they have “the authority to enforce” state laws.
Conservative radio talk show host and chair of the Virginia Trump campaign delegation John Fredericks just blamed the Democrats for playing politics:
‘Panic has set in amongst Virginia Democrats.’
Fredericks noted that the Trump campaign’s internal polling data shows the race in Virginia ever-tightening. That may or may not be true. The fish stinks from the head down, and this fish head lies a lot. Secretary Hillary Clinton easily won the state in 2016.
Reporters asked the man who rarely sits in the Oval Office about the danger of contracting the virus at his rallies. After all, his top Black supporter and pizza magnate Herman Cain died two weeks after he attended Trump’s Oklahoma rally. Trump replied that he was safe, all the people behind him wear masks.
Apparently, the crowd will just have. to fend for themselves.

bipartisanreport--2020-09-25--$40,000,000 Cash Donation Announced To Defeat Trump In Florida

The state of Florida will likely be a key addition to the column of whichever presidential candidate wins the election this November .
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has now unveiled plans for $ 40 million worth of anti-Trump television ads across Florida ; following his own unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination , Bloomberg has endorsed Democratic nominee Joe Biden and pledged to spend a total of $ 100 million in the state in support of the Biden campaign .
According to POLITICO , Bloomberg ’ s new Florida TV ads “ will focus on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus pandemic , Trump ’ s attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act , and Biden ’ s economic development plan.
” ‘ This fall , the path to the presidency goes through Florida — and with mail-in ballots going out this week , voters will soon start deciding who gets its 29 electoral votes .
That ’ s why we ’ re doing everything in our power to tell the story of Donald Trump ’ s failed presidency and why we need Joe Biden as the next president of the United States.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5 million mail-in ballots are getting sent out across the state of Florida this week , as mail-in voting gets underway in the state ( and elsewhere in the country ) .
Trump has tried to discredit “ mail-in ” and/or “ universal mail-in ” voting , claiming that it ’ s full of fraud — although it ’ s worth noting that he has actually singled out Florida as supposedly doing mail-in voting the right way , since voters have to request that a mail-in ballot get sent to them rather than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Still — any voter in the state can request a mail-in ballot for any reason .
Trump ’ s fraud claims are baseless .
Bloomberg ’ s Florida ads will air in all ten of Florida ’ s media markets , with a particular focus on the Miami , Tampa , Orlando , Jacksonville , and Fort Myers media markets .
The strength of the respective campaigns varies across those areas .
Overall , FiveThirtyEight says as of Friday afternoon that Biden is , on average , up by a meager 1.6 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of course , generally well within margins of error of polls .
As of Friday , the site estimates that Florida is the state which is second most likely to deliver the decisive margin to whichever candidate wins the upcoming election .

The state of Florida will likely be a key addition to the column of whichever presidential candidate wins the election this November. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has now unveiled plans for $40 million worth of anti-Trump television ads across Florida; following his own unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, Bloomberg has endorsed Democratic nominee Joe Biden and pledged to spend a total of $100 million in the state in support of the Biden campaign. According to POLITICO, Bloomberg’s new Florida TV ads “will focus on the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, Trump’s attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and Biden’s economic development plan.”
Bloomberg said:

That’s why we’re doing everything in our power to tell the story of Donald Trump’s failed presidency and why we need Joe Biden as the next president of the United States.’
It’s true — nearly 5 million mail-in ballots are getting sent out across the state of Florida this week, as mail-in voting gets underway in the state (and elsewhere in the country). Trump has tried to discredit “mail-in” and/or “universal mail-in” voting, claiming that it’s full of fraud — although it’s worth noting that he has actually singled out Florida as supposedly doing mail-in voting the right way, since voters have to request that a mail-in ballot get sent to them rather than the ballots getting sent out automatically. Still — any voter in the state can request a mail-in ballot for any reason. Trump’s fraud claims are baseless.
Bloomberg’s Florida ads will air in all ten of Florida’s media markets, with a particular focus on the Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Fort Myers media markets. The strength of the respective campaigns varies across those areas.

The blind followers of Donald Trump , especially those in the U.S. Senate , have allowed him to wreak havoc on the country and the Constitution over the past four years .
Now , the Lincoln Project , a group of Republican strategists , are calling out those followers for their willingness to sacrifice the country for their own political gain , all in service to the most dangerous leader the country has ever had .
The naked power grab of Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in vowing to fill the Supreme Court seat of Ruth Bader Ginsburg within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despite denying President Obama an opportunity to appoint Merrick Garland in 2016 , is not helping restore the Republican ’ s image of strict constitutional purism and respect for the law .
In fact , much of what the GOP has done under Trump has done more to hurt than help them , and they ’ ll be reaping the rewards of that in November .
Republican senators up for reelection in 2020 are not faring well , and the latest rounds of Trump controversies and GOP kowtowing hasn ’ t helped .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ competitor by more than six points .
Thom Tillis of North Carolina is behind by five points in the polls , as is Arizona ’ s Martha McSally .
Prominent names like Lindsey Graham are embroiled in tight races in areas that should not even be in contention , and states where Donald Trump won decisively in 2016 are now up for grabs .
Republicans gambled on a con man , and it seems they may have lost that bet .

The naked power grab of Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in vowing to fill the Supreme Court seat of Ruth Bader Ginsburg within two hours of her death, and despite denying President Obama an opportunity to appoint Merrick Garland in 2016, is not helping restore the Republican’s image of strict constitutional purism and respect for the law. In fact, much of what the GOP has done under Trump has done more to hurt than help them, and they’ll be reaping the rewards of that in November.
Republican senators up for reelection in 2020 are not faring well, and the latest rounds of Trump controversies and GOP kowtowing hasn’t helped. In Maine, Susan Collins trails her competitor by more than six points. Thom Tillis of North Carolina is behind by five points in the polls, as is Arizona’s Martha McSally. Prominent names like Lindsey Graham are embroiled in tight races in areas that should not even be in contention, and states where Donald Trump won decisively in 2016 are now up for grabs.

bipartisanreport--2020-09-25--Trump Tells Black People What’s Good For Them During Friday Freak-Out

The GOP argument on why their party is the better option for black Americans seems to be that : 1 ) the party isn ’ t as racist as it looks ; 2 ) black people have been dumb enough to be fooled into voting for Democrats all these years ; 3 ) a party full of mostly white men definitely know more about what ’ s good for black people than , say , black people themselves .
None of this , to them , sounds racist at all .
Trump began his speech at a campaign event in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but a city with a majority black population , by talking about serving as president in an indefinite sense , saying that he might add more terms in order to stay in the White House for 10 to 12 more years .
It is , of course , against the law to do so , and seems to be just one more ridiculous thing that Trump has said during his time as president .
With a president like Trump , though , a man who appears totally willing to take the right to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ win , it ’ s a scary proposal .
The real controversy began , though , when Trump began talking to the crowd of Atlanta residents about Democratic-run cities , calling them worse than war-torn Afghanistan .
Atlanta , Georgia ’ s mayor is Keisha Lance Bottoms , a black female Democrat .
Since Trump wasn ’ t dodging any bombs during his speech , we can rate that claim to be a complete lie and more than a little insulting to the people of Atlanta .
Trump then told the crowd that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ run by black Americans , and meant to address the issues black Americans face while men like Donald Trump ignore them , is really more interested in hurting black Americans .
Why trust a black American to know what black Americans need when there ’ s a rich , white man to teach us , right ?
If this is Trump ’ s plan to win over black America , he ’ s failing badly , and the polls show it .

bipartisanreport--2020-09-25--Ex-Trump Coast Guard Chief Defects To Warn American Voters

Retired Adm. Paul Zukunft , who led the Coast Guard until June 2018 , is among the hundreds of former top national security officials who signed a recently released letter endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden .
In a new interview with POLITICO , he insisted that there ’ s been a serious undercut to Americans ’ constitutional rights under the current administration .

I am concerned that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from within.

There are some prominent recent examples of Trump ’ s threats to the basic rights of Americans .
For example , he ’ s spent months winding himself up against “ mail-in ” and/or “ universal mail-in ” voting , which he claims is full of fraud .
It is not — mail-in ballots have been used at high levels across the country for awhile , and there is no looming systematic threat from their continued usage .
The evidence for Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Democratic “ rigging ” of the election is just not there .
He ’ s pretty much pulling his claims out of thin air at this point .

We can all see Trump ’ s endlessly belligerent , self-serving behavior , and it ’ s putting the basic stability of American democracy at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s ego .

Zukunft said:
‘I’ve seen an insurgency, if you will, on our constitutional rights and more power being centralized at the executive level that has really divided our nation. I am concerned that our constitutional rights are being infringed upon from within.’
That’s a very steep charge! There are some prominent recent examples of Trump’s threats to the basic rights of Americans. For example, he’s spent months winding himself up against “mail-in” and/or “universal mail-in” voting, which he claims is full of fraud. It is not — mail-in ballots have been used at high levels across the country for awhile, and there is no looming systematic threat from their continued usage. The evidence for Trump’s grandiose claims about some kind of Democratic “rigging” of the election is just not there. He’s pretty much pulling his claims out of thin air at this point.

He has previously refused to commit to the basic step of accepting the election results and acting accordingly, insisting that he’d wait and see what happened before making that determination — but that’s not how democracy works! Nobody appointed Donald Trump to be the arbiter of whether presidential elections are fair enough to be allowed to stand. That’s not his role and it will never be his role.
Speaking with POLITICO, Zukunft “described a chaotic administration often thrown off balance by an unpredictable leader,” according to the outlet, but the basic premise of this revelation isn’t exactly new. We can all see Trump’s endlessly belligerent, self-serving behavior, and it’s putting the basic stability of American democracy at risk in the name of Donald Trump’s ego.
