By just about all appearances , the Trump campaign is sinking , and it ’ s sinking fast .
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden routinely leads by formidable margins in polls on both the national level and in individual swing states .

As the election cycle draws to a close , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( at the very best ) story about supposed Biden family corruption .
On Wednesday , he claimed that Twitter wasn ’ t allowing “ any mention ” of the allegations… although Trump himself was “ mentioning ” them right then and there .
‘ It ’ s amazing .
Twitter refuses to allow the any mention of the Biden corruption story which was carried so well on @ TuckerCarlson last night .
It ’ s the biggest story and Big Tech , together with the Lamestream Media , isn ’ t allowing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ The president ’ s allegation just fundamentally is not true .

By just about all appearances, the Trump campaign is sinking, and it’s sinking fast. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden routinely leads by formidable margins in polls on both the national level and in individual swing states. Based on the huge number of Democratic voters who have already turned in their early ballots and the Biden’s campaign recent wild fundraising success, it’s also clear that there’s a ton of grassroots enthusiasm for voting Donald Trump out of office. As the election cycle draws to a close, Trump has leaned in on a dubious (at the very best) story about supposed Biden family corruption. On Wednesday, he claimed that Twitter wasn’t allowing “any mention” of the allegations… although Trump himself was “mentioning” them right then and there.
On Wednesday, Trump angrily tweeted:
‘It’s amazing. Twitter refuses to allow the any mention of the Biden corruption story which was carried so well on @TuckerCarlson last night. It’s the biggest story and Big Tech, together with the Lamestream Media, isn’t allowing a word to be said about it.’

The president’s allegation just fundamentally is not true. The very existence of his own tweet disproves the central premise of its allegation! Right there, he’s “mentioning” the allegations. There is no conspiracy on the part of “Big Tech” to remove every “mention” of the Biden corruption allegations. It’s very important to note: these Biden corruption allegations, which hinge on multiple supposed examples of the Biden family supposedly using their name and political connections for financial gain, may be founded in Russian disinformation and election meddling efforts. The Trump administration itself — albeit, not the White House/ President’s personal team — has characterized Ukrainian legislator Andrii Derkach, who’s been working to spread dirt on the Bidens, as a Russian agent. Derkach has been sanctioned — and he also once met with the president’s top ally, Rudy Giuliani.
It’s true that, at one point, Twitter attempted to block shares of a link to a New York Post story about the Biden corruption allegations, although they have since reversed their position.

bipartisanreport--2020-10-30--Evidence Reveals Pompeo Family Used State Department For Personal Benefit

The Pompeos appear to have personally benefited from Mike Pompeo ’ s role as the Trump administration ’ s latest Secretary of State .
NBC News has obtained a trove of Pompeo family-involved messages to and from State Department officials via a lawsuit filed under the Freedom of Information Act , and the messages reveal issues including Mike Pompeo ’ s wife , Susan , repeatedly seeming to use the State Department to complete personal requests .
NBC says that the emails show “ show that Susan Pompeo routinely gives instructions to State Department officials from her personal email address @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reservations to the elite Madison Dinners , ” the latter of which feature top political operatives as guests at the State Department .
There ’ s a foundational level of coordination between the Secretary of State ’ s family and State Department officials that could be expected in the name of goals like security for the Pompeos .
However , some of the coordination extends well beyond these basic security-related concerns .
NBC says that “ emails appeared to show State Department employees working at Susan Pompeo ’ s direction to organize parts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members of the Kansas chapter of the Young Presidents ’ Organization and their families.
” Mike Pompeo served as this group ’ s education chair for a whopping 15 years .
This apparent official government logistics work on behalf of a private group that the Pompeos were involved with unfolded as speculation also swirled about a potential Mike Pompeo run for an open U.S. Senate seat in Kansas .
NBC describes the Young Presidents ’ Organization as “ an elite global networking club for wealthy CEOs ” — so its members could have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Despite the fact that NBC obtained an email in which a State Department staffer clearly sends Susan Pompeo an itinerary for the Young Presidents Organization group , a Department spokesperson “ disputed that employees planned the entire visit for the YPO group , ” NBC says .
Well — they did a lot !
No matter the precise level of planning that the State Department employees did , it ’ s clear that the Pompeos tasked State Department staffers with personal and even political errands .
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Pompeos as handling the question of whether they used the State Department “ as a personal travel agency or political exploratory committee.
” Engel added that Pompeo has refused to sit for an interview with the State Department inspector general ’ s office about the issue .

This apparent official government logistics work on behalf of a private group that the Pompeos were involved with unfolded as speculation also swirled about a potential Mike Pompeo run for an open U.S. Senate seat in Kansas. NBC describes the Young Presidents’ Organization as “an elite global networking club for wealthy CEOs” — so its members could have helped boost a Pompeo Senate run.

On Thursday , First Lady Melania Trump appeared alongside President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Tampa , Florida .
Her comments were , quite simply , ridiculous .
While at the rally , she blamed “ the media ” for spreading “ hate , negativity , and fear , ” as if she ’ s never listened to her own husband ’ s campaign messaging for any significant period of time .
Obviously , she is familiar with the Trump campaign ’ s vitriolic and fear-riddled messaging — she ’ s just lying .
At another point during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Donald and his team “ are focused on creating ways for people to safely stop isolating ” amidst the pandemic — but the Trump campaign is not practicing any kind of consistent social distancing .
Melania was speaking to a packed rally crowd when she made these remarks .
Melania ’ s allegation that “ the media ” are responsible for spreading “ fear ” is just galling — it ’ s her own husband who has ludicrously claimed that Democrats would even “ abolish ” the suburbs if elected .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from an Obama era housing regulation that directed communities to explore ways to do away with racial segregation .
Of course — this fear-riddled nonsense is one of many examples of similar messaging from the Trump campaign .
‘ In a time when hate , negativity , and fear are the messages the media streams into our homes and the large tech companies are protecting political censorship , we need to remember what is really important : my husband ’ s administration is focused on the future , the health and safety of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well-being of our children , the safety and security of our streets and communities , and the protection of our fundamental family values.
’ It ’ s simply wild for Melania to suggest that her husband is in any way systematically and consistently “ focused on the future.
” Frequently , Donald Trump seems much more focused on playing golf and complaining on Twitter .
Check out Melania ’ s wild comments below : At a later point during that same rally , Melania referenced the Trump administration ’ s supposed commitment to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stop isolating.
” Trump supporters are already frequently not isolating .
Just look at the rally crowds !
The rhetoric from Melania to the contrary hearkens back to the president ’ s own lies that states like Michigan are currently “ locked down.
” The notion that Michigan is “ locked down ” is nonsense .
‘ This president and his team are focused on not only destroying the virus and building back the economy , they are focused on creating ways for people to safely stop isolating and safely start gathering with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is about mental health as much as it is physical.

While at the rally, she blamed “the media” for spreading “hate, negativity, and fear,” as if she’s never listened to her own husband’s campaign messaging for any significant period of time.

Melania was speaking to a packed rally crowd when she made these remarks.
Melania’s allegation that “the media” are responsible for spreading “fear” is just galling — it’s her own husband who has ludicrously claimed that Democrats would even “abolish” the suburbs if elected. This claim is entirely false; it stems from an Obama era housing regulation that directed communities to explore ways to do away with racial segregation. Of course — this fear-riddled nonsense is one of many examples of similar messaging from the Trump campaign.
Undeterred, Melania insisted:
‘In a time when hate, negativity, and fear are the messages the media streams into our homes and the large tech companies are protecting political censorship, we need to remember what is really important: my husband’s administration is focused on the future, the health and safety of the American people, the education and well-being of our children, the safety and security of our streets and communities, and the protection of our fundamental family values.’

At a later point during that same rally, Melania referenced the Trump administration’s supposed commitment to finding ways for Americans to safely “stop isolating.” Trump supporters are already frequently not isolating. Just look at the rally crowds! The rhetoric from Melania to the contrary hearkens back to the president’s own lies that states like Michigan are currently “locked down.” The notion that Michigan is “locked down” is nonsense.
Melania said:
‘This president and his team are focused on not only destroying the virus and building back the economy, they are focused on creating ways for people to safely stop isolating and safely start gathering with friends again on safe distances. This is about mental health as much as it is physical.’
So many of Melania’s remarks are just laughably ridiculous. Watch below:

bipartisanreport--2020-10-29--Trump Spazzes Into Afternoon Meltdown As Campaign Officially Implodes

President Donald Trump hasn ’ t exactly taken well to the new revelation that former Department of Homeland Security official Miles Taylor is “ Anonymous , ” the pseudonym-identified author of an infamous piece in The New York Times claiming the existence of some kind of secret resistance inside the Trump administration .
Taylor also wrote a book under the pseudonym , and now that his actual identity is in the public , Trump is freaking out .
Sure , Americans are struggling through yet another surge of the Coronavirus pandemic , with rising cases , hospitalizations , deaths , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recovering ” in fits and starts .
Nevertheless , Trump is laser-focused on whining about Miles Taylor .
‘ So it turns out that the wise guy promoted as “ Anonymous ” by the @ nytimes , named Miles Taylor ( who I never even heard of ! )
, was only a little known “ staffer ” as opposed to a “ Senior Administration Official ” .
He then scammed @ CNN , lied to @ andersoncooper , & got a job there .
He also worked at , of all places @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big liability !
!
!
’ Trump ’ s reference to a lie to CNN host Anderson Cooper refers to the fact that Cooper once actually asked Taylor if he was “ Anonymous , ” and at the time , Taylor said no .
While it ’ s true that Taylor has some of his own problems and definitely isn ’ t some kind of liberal hero — he had a hand in some of the Trump administration ’ s destructively cruel immigration policies , after all — it ’ s also true @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the president to be obsessing over Taylor so closely .
There ’ s no indication that news organizations that have associated themselves with Taylor actually have some kind of “ big liability.
” What would they even be liable for ?
Irritating the president ?
That ’ s not illegal .
This occasion is not the first time that Trump has complained about Taylor on Twitter .
On Thursday , Trump also touted the fact that weekly unemployment claims had just hit a 7-month low — but that ’ s still higher than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , at 751,000 , is still significantly higher than the pre-pandemic record !
Trump also claimed that an extension of the time in which to receive mail-in ballots for counting in Pennsylvania is “ a disaster for our Nation , and for Pennsylvania itself.
” He added that ” Democrats are trying to steal this Election.
” This is a lie .
An extension of the time for receiving and counting properly submitted mail-in ballots that may have been delayed in the Postal Service does not automatically entail a single instance of fraud @

President Donald Trump hasn’t exactly taken well to the new revelation that former Department of Homeland Security official Miles Taylor is “Anonymous,” the pseudonym-identified author of an infamous piece in The New York Times claiming the existence of some kind of secret resistance inside the Trump administration. Taylor also wrote a book under the pseudonym, and now that his actual identity is in the public, Trump is freaking out. Sure, Americans are struggling through yet another surge of the Coronavirus pandemic, with rising cases, hospitalizations, deaths, and an economy that’s “recovering” in fits and starts. Nevertheless, Trump is laser-focused on whining about Miles Taylor.
On Twitter on Thursday, Trump ranted:
‘So it turns out that the wise guy promoted as “Anonymous” by the @nytimes , named Miles Taylor (who I never even heard of!), was only a little known “staffer” as opposed to a “Senior Administration Official”. He then scammed @CNN, lied to @andersoncooper, & got a job there. He also worked at, of all places, @Google . They all have big liability!!!’
….He also worked at, of all places, @Google. They all have big liability!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 29, 2020
Trump’s reference to a lie to CNN host Anderson Cooper refers to the fact that Cooper once actually asked Taylor if he was “Anonymous,” and at the time, Taylor said no. While it’s true that Taylor has some of his own problems and definitely isn’t some kind of liberal hero — he had a hand in some of the Trump administration’s destructively cruel immigration policies, after all — it’s also true that it’s utterly outlandish for the president to be obsessing over Taylor so closely. There’s no indication that news organizations that have associated themselves with Taylor actually have some kind of “big liability.” What would they even be liable for? Irritating the president? That’s not illegal. This occasion is not the first time that Trump has complained about Taylor on Twitter.
On Thursday, Trump also touted the fact that weekly unemployment claims had just hit a 7-month low — but that’s still higher than the pre-pandemic level — and the number, at 751,000, is still significantly higher than the pre-pandemic record! Trump also claimed that an extension of the time in which to receive mail-in ballots for counting in Pennsylvania is “a disaster for our Nation, and for Pennsylvania itself.” He added that ” Democrats are trying to steal this Election.” This is a lie. An extension of the time for receiving and counting properly submitted mail-in ballots that may have been delayed in the Postal Service does not automatically entail a single instance of fraud.
Weekly Jobless Claims just hit a 7 month low! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 29, 2020
A 3 day extension for Pennsylvania is a disaster for our Nation, and for Pennsylvania itself. The Democrats are trying to steal this Election. We have to get out and VOTE in even larger numbers. The Great Red Wave is coming!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 29, 2020

He was smoking and spitting fire when he addressed the Democratic senators during his Confirmation Hearing before the Senate Justice Committee on his way to the Supreme Court (SCOTUS). People just do not do that, because it demeans the decorum of the office he was seeking. But then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh performed his ballerina/wrestling dance for an audience of one.
Donald Trump wanted his second Supreme Court pick, credibly accused by a sexual trauma expert witness. She was also his victim, according to the BBC. At the time, she feared he was going to smother her to death as he lay on top of her, his hand on her mouth to keep her from screaming.
Committee Chair Senator Lindsey Graham (R-KY) led the Republican majority in confirming him to the nation’s highest court, the Supreme Court. Graham performed his infamous rabid-raccoon dance for the president, too. The minority Democrats argued, but to no avail. The Republicans should have listened to them.
Kavanaugh offered a controversial opinion Wednesday regarding mail-in voting. In that opinion, he made an error, according to CNN.
By Thursday, thousands of Pennsylvania’s voters had not received their mail-in ballots. They were also disproportionally Democratic voters. His careless writing revealed a serious mistake. Usually, SCOTUS justices are extremely thoughtful in their writings.
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh changed a line in the very controversial opinion regarding Wisconsin’s mail-in voting. Vermont officials criticized him for saying their state did not change its elections rules just to accommodate the coronavirus pandemic. The high court is facing a number of voting appeals regarding voting access and mail-in ballots in the handful of days before the official election date.
That was unwise of the Supreme Court. Its voting decisions, which are in the states’ purview could easily change the high court into a feared political body.
Monday evening Kavanaugh wrote a concurring opinion:
‘The court rejected a Democratic bid to allow Wisconsin to count ballots returned up to six days after Election Day. Kavanaugh wrote a concurring opinion that cited Vermont as a state that hadn’t made changes to its “ordinary election rules.’
Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos requested in a formal letter Wednesday, Kavanaugh to correct his opinion.
Condos explained Vermont’s significant changes in a formal letter to the justice, so he should correct the concurring opinion:
‘[Vermont had] for the first time sent mail-in ballots to every registered voter and also began counting votes earlier than in previous years. Those actions meant Vermont did not have to change its Election Day deadline to receive mail-in ballots.’
Before:
In his opinion, Kavanaugh chose Vermont as an example of a state “exercising its ability to change — or not change — election rules and deadlines.” [He] wrote on Monday: “
‘To be sure, in light of the pandemic, some state legislatures have exercised their Article I, §4, authority over elections and have changed their election rules for the November 2020 election. Of particular relevance here, a few States such as Mississippi no longer require that absentee ballots be received before election day. … Other States such as Vermont, by contrast, have decided not to make changes to their ordinary election rules, including to the election-day deadline for receipt of absentee ballots.’
The variation, Kavanaugh said:
‘[R]eflects our constitutional system of federalism. Different state legislatures may make different choices.’
After:
‘Late Wednesday, without comment or explanation, Kavanaugh issued a revised opinion, changing the phrase “ordinary election rules” to “ordinary election-deadline rules.’
Kavanaugh’s corrected opinion read:
‘Other States such as Vermont, by contrast, have decided not to make changes to their ordinary election-deadline rules, including to the election-day deadline for receipt of absentee ballots.’
Kavanaugh instructed the states to make certain their mail-in ballots in officials’ hands by Election Day:
‘[I] want to avoid the chaos and suspicions of impropriety that can ensue if thousands of absentee ballots flow in after Election Day and potentially flip the results of an election.’

bipartisanreport--2020-10-29--GOP Makes Last Minute Legal Move To Disqualify Thousands Of Votes

Republicans in Texas are apparently getting desperate .
According to voting rights lawyer Marc Elias , “ Republicans in Texas have filed TWO new lawsuits to disenfranchise thousands of Harris County citizens who voted via curbside drive-thru voting.
” Drive-thru voting , which is only available in the state ’ s Democratic-leaning Harris County , features a station where voters can cast their ballots without leaving their vehicles .
Voters move through the polling station one at a time , with poll workers checking their identification , handing them electronic voting machines , and then sending them on their way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voting threaten tens of thousands of Texans ’ votes that have already been cast through the method .
In short : it ’ s yet another dirty Republican trick meant to undermine the electoral process .
As a patchwork of litigation has unfolded across the country in the lead-up to Election Day , it ’ s become clear that the GOP strategy hinges on suppressing the vote .
No matter what excuses that the Republicans present featuring dubious ( at best ) claims like protecting election security , the unequivocal net effect of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suppression .
In one of the latest challenges to Harris County ’ s drive-thru voting locations , Texas state Rep. Steve Toth ( R ) , Republican judicial candidate Sharen Hemphill , and Republican Congressional candidate Wendell Champion ( alongside co-plaintiff and GOP activist Steven Hotze ) are explicitly seeking to have a court throw out votes that have been supposedly “ illegally ” cast at Harris County ’ s drive-thru polling sites .
Republicans allege that the drive-thru polling sites are an illegal extension of curbside voting , which is a service @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to safely and securely enter polling places .
In fact , the Texas Supreme Court has already thrown out two Republican challenges to drive-thru polling places — although the court did not issue an opinion when they rejected the two previous Republican requests for action .
Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins ( D ) “ has said drive-thru voting is just another polling place with a different layout and structure , and that it was approved by the Texas secretary of state ’ s office before being adopted , ” the Austin American-Statesman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government is led by Republicans — although that didn ’ t stop an unsuccessful GOP court challenge to Texas ’ s Republican Governor Greg Abbott ’ s extension of early voting in the state .
Despite the lack of Republican success in tamping down drive-thru voting in Harris County , Republicans have been successful in other challenges to voting access .
Recently , Republicans got the pre-Barrett U.S. Supreme Court to strike down an extension of the deadline for receiving mail-in ballots for counting in Wisconsin .
Now , ballots must be received @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Election Day in order to remain valid .
Ballots always had to be postmarked by Election Day , and the deadline extension had been meant to help deal with slowed down mail service .

Donald Trump is in a very bad mood, and it is about to get worse. He rides his stick horse all around the economy, touting his “great” accomplishments. At the same time, leaves behind older Americans and children shivering in his freezing Nebraska wake. Then, he waves his dark-magic wand over a MAGA (Make America Great Again) hat and pulls out a dead rabbit.
The Economist magazine endorsed his opponent former Vice President Joe Biden. Why would the publication do that? The sitting president has been “destructive” for four years, but a second term would affirm “all his worst instincts.” The Economist called Biden “his antithesis.” Its subheadings tell it all: “King Donald” and “President Joe:”
‘THE COUNTRY that elected Donald Trump in 2016 was unhappy and divided. The country he is asking to re-elect him is more unhappy and more divided. After almost four years of his leadership, politics is even angrier than it was and partisanship even less constrained.’
It continued, pointing at the “almost 230,000” coronavirus deaths:
Daily life is consumed by a pandemic that has registered almost 230,000 deaths amid bickering, buck-passing, and lies. Much of that is Mr Trump’s doing, and his victory on November 3rd would endorse it all.’
The magazine wrote that “‘Donald Trump has desecrated the values that make America a beacon to the world:”
‘BREAKING: The Economist endorses Joe Biden. They say Trump “has desecrated the values that make America a beacon to the world.” While Biden “would enter the White House with the promise of the most precious gift that democracies can bestow: renewal.”’
Joe Biden is not perfect, but “he is a good man.” He would also be “putting a fractured country back together again.” Unlike the Trump Humpty Dumpty fracturing, healing America is still possible, so far:
‘[He is not] miracle cure for what ails America. But he is a good man who would restore steadiness and civility to the White House. He is equipped to begin the long, difficult task of putting a fractured country back together again. That is why, if we had a vote, it would go to Joe.’
Things were going well in the economy for conservative Republicans before the coronavirus pandemic hit Trump and uncovered a whole warren of rat holes beneath the so-called leader of the free world:
‘[O]ur bigger dispute with Mr Trump is over something more fundamental. In the past four years he has repeatedly desecrated the values, principles and practices that made America a haven for its own people and a beacon to the world. Those who accuse Mr Biden of the same or worse should stop and think. Those who breezily dismiss Mr Trump’s bullying and lies as so much tweeting are ignoring the harm he has wrought.’
The Economist made no bones about it. Trump stoked racial tension, and now “40 percent of the country thinks the other 60 percent is “evil:”

Today, 40% of the electorate believes the other side is not just misguided, but evil.
The publication wrote about misguided “Wavering Republicans:”
‘Wavering Republicans worry that Mr Biden, old and weak, would be a Trojan horse for the hard left. It is true that his party’s radical wing is stirring, but he and Kamala Harris, his vice-presidential pick, have both shown in the campaign that they can keep it in check.’
Yet, The Economist said that going with Biden would help down-ballot “moderate centrist” Democrats, like “Steve Bullock in Montana or Barbara Bollier in Kansas:”
‘Ordinarily, voters might be advised to constrain the left by ensuring that the Senate remained in Republican hands. Not this time. A big win for the Democrats there would add to the preponderance of moderate centrists over radicals in Congress by bringing in senators like Steve Bullock in Montana or Barbara Bollier in Kansas.

President Donald Trump clearly seems to be feeling the pressure of the impending election. With a staggering pace of campaign rallies planned for coming days, he’s keeping up the pace of his petulant Twitter posts, as if he thinks that if he can sound unhinged enough on Twitter, then he will somehow secure another term in office. On Friday, among about 18 mid- to late-afternoon tweets and counting, Trump freaked out on Twitter over a speech that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden gave that was broadcast on Fox News. Trump ranted on Twitter that Biden “spent the last 47 years outsourcing your jobs, opening your borders, and sacrificing American blood and treasure in endless foreign wars,” and he insisted that Americans “elected an outsider as President who is finally putting AMERICA FIRST!” — meaning himself, of course — but Trump’s claims that he’s led the U.S. into some kind of utopia are a myth.
Trump angrily tweeted, in part:
‘At every turn, Biden twisted his knife into the back of Michigan workers. In 2016, Michigan voted to FIRE this corrupt political establishment and you elected an outsider as President who is finally putting AMERICA FIRST!’
In this rant, Trump failed to mention that — among other hallmarks of the current crisis — weekly unemployment claims in the most recent report were still higher than the pre-pandemic one-week record for nationwide unemployment claims. A little under three-quarters of a million unemployment claims were filed across the country in the seven-day period that the most recent report covers. The U.S. economy is in crisis — and it’s on Trump’s watch.
Many of Trump’s Friday posts were directly campaign-related — and they frequently sounded disturbingly apocalyptic, as if Trump is hoping to frame the ongoing presidential race as some kind of metaphysical battle between good and evil. There are, of course, serious consequences of this kind of framing of the election. Trump is pitting Americans against each other on the basis of concocted divisions designed to increase vitriol and get his most cultish followers amped up about the possibility of a second Trump term. There is no “deep state.” There is no conspiracy to take down “patriots.” These facts don’t seem to matter to Trump. His movement runs on hatred — not facts. The president’s claims that the Bidens might be a “crime family” are ludicrous. At the recent final debate between him and Biden, Trump claimed that “Joe got $3.5 million from Russia and it came through Putin.” This claim is a lie.
At one point, Trump claimed that Biden “stands with the rioters & looters.” This is make-believe. Check out Trump posts below:

Barack shared some critical information in one of his own posts: a list of hotlines that voters can call if they run into problems while attempting to cast their ballot. Across the country, Republicans have consistently worked to turn back voting rights through means like curtailing access to polling places. In Texas, Republicans tried (unsuccessfully) to get an extension of early in-person voting thrown out, and elsewhere, Republicans have fought to throw out valid and originally on-time ballots that happen to arrive back at election authorities’ offices after Election Day because of slowed mail delivery.

bipartisanreport--2020-10-30--Trump Announces Doctors Inflate COVID Deaths For Cash During Unhinged Rally Rant

President Donald Trump ’ s rhetoric is a dangerous scourge upon the United States .
At a Friday rally in Michigan , Trump pushed the conspiracy theory that doctors have been artificially inflating Coronavirus death tolls in order to “ get more money.
” This claim is vitriolic and unhinged — and it ’ s coming from the president of the United States .
To be unequivocally clear : there is no conspiracy on the part of the medical community to artificially inflate Coronavirus death tolls in order to increase their profits .
There ’ s no apparent evidence that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even get hospitals more money .
Trump is lying .
Healthcare workers have been putting their lives on the line throughout this pandemic , and the president of the United States is reacting by accusing them of partially manufacturing the very real Coronavirus crisis at hand .
Trump ranted to the crowd : ‘ Our doctors get more money if somebody dies from COVID .
You know that , right ?
I mean , our doctors are very smart people .
So what they do is they say , I ’ m sorry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But in Germany and other places , if you have a heart attack , or if you have cancer , you ’ re terminally ill , you catch COVID , they say you died of cancer , you died of heart attack .
With us , when in doubt , choose COVID .
It ’ s true .
You know it ’ s true.
’ The president is unequivocally lying .
No matter any differences among countries in their respective ways of tabulating Coronavirus casualties , there is no conspiracy among American medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Coronavirus — period .
Suggesting that the only “ real ” Coronavirus deaths are those where pre-existing conditions weren ’ t present is deranged .
Millions of Americans have pre-existing conditions — and over 225,000 Americans have died while battling the Coronavirus .
Physicians ’ groups have spoken out against the president ’ s allegations of a conspiracy to tie deaths to the Coronavirus that are really from some other cause .
The American College of Physicians ( ACP ) called Trump ’ s remarks “ a reprehensible attack on physicians ’ ethics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when he made the same claim .
The American Medical Association ( AMA ) also spoke out after the same earlier incident , tamping down “ misinformation about how patients are counted ” and insisting that “ physicians are not inflating the numbers of COVID-19 patients.

President Donald Trump’s rhetoric is a dangerous scourge upon the United States. At a Friday rally in Michigan, Trump pushed the conspiracy theory that doctors have been artificially inflating Coronavirus death tolls in order to “get more money.” This claim is vitriolic and unhinged — and it’s coming from the president of the United States. To be unequivocally clear: there is no conspiracy on the part of the medical community to artificially inflate Coronavirus death tolls in order to increase their profits. There’s no apparent evidence that improperly attributing deaths to the Coronavirus would even get hospitals more money. Trump is lying.
Healthcare workers have been putting their lives on the line throughout this pandemic, and the president of the United States is reacting by accusing them of partially manufacturing the very real Coronavirus crisis at hand. Trump ranted to the crowd:
‘Our doctors get more money if somebody dies from COVID. You know that, right? I mean, our doctors are very smart people. So what they do is they say, I’m sorry, but everybody dies of COVID. But in Germany and other places, if you have a heart attack, or if you have cancer, you’re terminally ill, you catch COVID, they say you died of cancer, you died of heart attack.

The president is unequivocally lying. No matter any differences among countries in their respective ways of tabulating Coronavirus casualties, there is no conspiracy among American medical personnel to improperly attribute deaths to the Coronavirus — period. Suggesting that the only “real” Coronavirus deaths are those where pre-existing conditions weren’t present is deranged. Millions of Americans have pre-existing conditions — and over 225,000 Americans have died while battling the Coronavirus.
Physicians’ groups have spoken out against the president’s allegations of a conspiracy to tie deaths to the Coronavirus that are really from some other cause. The American College of Physicians (ACP) called Trump’s remarks “a reprehensible attack on physicians’ ethics and professionalism” after a previous occasion when he made the same claim. The American Medical Association (AMA) also spoke out after the same earlier incident, tamping down “misinformation about how patients are counted” and insisting that “physicians are not inflating the numbers of COVID-19 patients.” Leaders of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) also chimed in, calling the president’s rhetoric “irresponsible and dangerous.”

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden delivered a fiery speech against Donald Trump at a Friday rally in Iowa , which is considered a battleground state in the presidential race .
Biden hammered Trump for his failures to meaningfully and effectively respond to the Coronavirus pandemic .
The Democratic nominee insisted that Trump “ panicked ” and left the American people to face the consequences , including economic chaos and rising levels of sickness and death across the country .
Biden ’ s team has zeroed in on the Coronavirus crisis , while Trump has , as Biden noted , waved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While Americans have been suffering and dying , Trump has been whining about the media coverage that the Coronavirus has gotten .

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden delivered a fiery speech against Donald Trump at a Friday rally in Iowa, which is considered a battleground state in the presidential race. Biden hammered Trump for his failures to meaningfully and effectively respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. The Democratic nominee insisted that Trump “panicked” and left the American people to face the consequences, including economic chaos and rising levels of sickness and death across the country. Biden’s team has zeroed in on the Coronavirus crisis, while Trump has, as Biden noted, waved a metaphorical white flag of defeat. While Americans have been suffering and dying, Trump has been whining about the media coverage that the Coronavirus has gotten.
After recounting some of the recent spikes in Coronavirus cases and hospitalizations around the country and right there in Iowa, Biden said the following on Friday:
‘Millions of people are out of work, on the edge, and they can’t see the light — it just looks dark right now for them. 82,000 Iowa jobs lost in this pandemic, and still, they’ve not come back. 70,000 jobs lost in Iowa since Donald Trump became president.
