Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes appeared with the host of Fox News Sunday this weekend. It appeared that the Trump stand-in intended to push against POTUS’ words taped by The Washington Post investigative reporter Bob Woodward. He started taping the president beginning in early January for his upcoming book Rage.
Cortes agreed it appeared that Trump had been off his game in the fog of war against the COVID-19 virus. He said that the president had allegedly downplayed the pandemic, and the campaign had little chance of downplaying the president’s words. Taking back what Trump said about how difficult the coronavirus pandemic would be in the fall and winter would get
Wallace suggested that the campaign should go straight:
‘Why not level with the American people, Steve?’
Cortes responded:
‘This was the fog of war, biological war.’
Cortes did not have an opportunity to start off on his verbal fogging before Wallace started:
‘I’m going to interrupt you right there. It wasn’t the fog of war. On January 28, the president got his presidential daily brief, the top intelligence in the Oval Office. And at that point, his national security adviser, Robert O’Brien said that this is the biggest challenge you’re going to face in your entire presidency.’
The Fox News host continued:
‘So, there was no fog of war there. The word that he was getting from his top intelligence and national security people was that this was a deadly pandemic. There was no fog here.’
Wallace added:
‘No, no, there was tremendous fog!’

bipartisanreport--2020-09-13--Trump Has Multi-Tweet Sunday Morning Eruption Of Insanity

On Sunday morning , the evangelical Christian President Donald Trump spent his morning mean-tweeting and demanding that a criminal be put to death .
There is no church service on his schedule ; instead , he ’ s doing everything that the Bible warns Christians against doing .
Former Democratic presidential candidate and one-time mayor of New York City Mike Bloomberg , who promised to spend money on Democratic campaigns should he leave the race himself , has pledged ten million dollars to help Trump ’ s Democratic challenger , Joe Biden , win in Florida .
Apparently , Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ makes sense considering his campaign funds are running dry and he ’ s debating whether or not to spend some of his own money on the race .
The shooting of two police officers in Compton , California have hit the newswires and a video of the shooting is circulating on social media .
Americans as a whole are unlikely to disagree that the violence was in any way acceptable and that the shooter shouldn ’ t suffer serious consequences for his actions .
It is worth noting , however , that Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ penalty against police officers who knelt on the neck of George Floyd for nearly nine minutes , slowly choking the life out of him .
He ’ s never once said that any officer sworn to protect and serve the public who murdered an American citizen should be held accountable .
So much for “ all lives matter , ” right ?
Twitter wasn ’ t having Trump ’ s morning meltdown , either .

Former Democratic presidential candidate and one-time mayor of New York City Mike Bloomberg, who promised to spend money on Democratic campaigns should he leave the race himself, has pledged ten million dollars to help Trump’s Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, win in Florida. Apparently, Trump was not happy about it, which makes sense considering his campaign funds are running dry and he’s debating whether or not to spend some of his own money on the race.
The shooting of two police officers in Compton, California have hit the newswires and a video of the shooting is circulating on social media. Americans as a whole are unlikely to disagree that the violence was in any way acceptable and that the shooter shouldn’t suffer serious consequences for his actions. It is worth noting, however, that Donald Trump has never called for the death penalty against police officers who knelt on the neck of George Floyd for nearly nine minutes, slowly choking the life out of him. He’s never once said that any officer sworn to protect and serve the public who murdered an American citizen should be held accountable.
So much for “all lives matter,” right?

POTUS must believe he will lose in the November election , because he has been telling his people that if he loses , it would only be due to a “ rigged election : ” ‘ Rasmussen was one of the most accurate polls in 2016 .
Actually , I think , based on Crowds and Enthusiasm ( of which Sleepy Joe has none ! )

The president is out in California denying science and blaming people for not sweeping their forest floors. Does he even know what a forest floor is?

No wonder, the commander-in-chief polled 30 points below Biden when pollsters asked Americans how he has been (mis)handling the COVID-19 pandemic.

bipartisanreport--2020-09-14--Trump Face-Plants During Disastrous Wildfire Discussion In California

The longer that Donald Trump remains in the Oval Office , the more clear it becomes that he is a totally incompetent egomaniac who has no business being anywhere near the presidency .
On Monday , he visited California for an in-person briefing on the wildfire crisis that is currently raging in the area , and during one memorable exchange , he suggested that he knows better than “ science ” as a whole .
This suggestion , of course , is totally ludicrous , but it ’ s not just inane nonsense .
Trump ’ s obsession with his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ federal effort to respond to crises like the fires .
The wildfires aren ’ t some trivial occurrence — as local publication SFGate notes , “ fires have killed at least 33 people , burned millions of acres and forced thousands from their homes on the West Coast.
” California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot , who was at the Monday briefing with Trump , noted that “ ignoring science and putting our head in the sand and thinking that it ’ s all about forest management ” simply isn ’ t going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ it will start getting cooler — just you watch.
” Crowfoot replied that he wished that “ science agreed ” with the president , and Trump said in response : “ I don ’ t think science knows.
” He doesn ’ t think science knows what ?
Is Trump suggesting that he is privy to some kind of special secret knowledge that the nation ’ s top environmental scientists have somehow missed ?
Is he suggesting that his own intuition is somehow a better source for policy guidance than those scientists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the guy who once proudly proclaimed that he ’ s “ never understood wind.
” On another , more recent occasion , he suggested that injecting household disinfectants might be worth exploring as a potential Coronavirus treatment option .
He eventually claimed that he was joking , but he did not seem to be at the time .
Suggesting that the wildfire situation is all about forest management is exactly what Trump has done — back in 2018 , the national embarrassment of a president suggested that “ raking ” forests needed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ check .
“ Raking ” forests is not magically going to stop fires from growing and spreading .
It would be great if someone was in the White House who had a basic level of competence .

The longer that Donald Trump remains in the Oval Office, the more clear it becomes that he is a totally incompetent egomaniac who has no business being anywhere near the presidency. On Monday, he visited California for an in-person briefing on the wildfire crisis that is currently raging in the area, and during one memorable exchange, he suggested that he knows better than “science” as a whole. This suggestion, of course, is totally ludicrous, but it’s not just inane nonsense. Trump’s obsession with his own whims may perpetually impede any reasonable federal effort to respond to crises like the fires.
The wildfires aren’t some trivial occurrence — as local publication SFGate notes, “fires have killed at least 33 people, burned millions of acres and forced thousands from their homes on the West Coast.” California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot, who was at the Monday briefing with Trump, noted that “ignoring science and putting our head in the sand and thinking that it’s all about forest management” simply isn’t going to cut it.

He doesn’t think science knows what? Is Trump suggesting that he is privy to some kind of special secret knowledge that the nation’s top environmental scientists have somehow missed? Is he suggesting that his own intuition is somehow a better source for policy guidance than those scientists and their documented observations? Trump is the guy who once proudly proclaimed that he’s “never understood wind.” On another, more recent occasion, he suggested that injecting household disinfectants might be worth exploring as a potential Coronavirus treatment option. He eventually claimed that he was joking, but he did not seem to be at the time.
Suggesting that the wildfire situation is all about forest management is exactly what Trump has done — back in 2018, the national embarrassment of a president suggested that “raking” forests needed to be done to keep fire seasons in check. “Raking” forests is not magically going to stop fires from growing and spreading.

‘CDC to me appears to be writing hit pieces on the administration. CDC tried to report as if once kids get together, there will be spread and this will impact school re-opening . . . Very misleading by CDC and shame on them. Their aim is clear.’
Caputo found Alexander working as an assistant professor of health research at McMaster University in Canada, and hired him away to be his scientific adviser.

‘Dr. Alexander advises me on pandemic policy and he has been encouraged to share his opinions with other scientists. Like all scientists, his advice is heard and taken or rejected by his peers.’

‘It’s the go-to place for the public health community to get information that’s scientifically vetted. They’re so important, and CDC has done so many.’
Alexander wrote that the report should better explain the differences by age groupings:
‘[D]esignating persons aged 18-20 as ‘pediatric’ by the CDC is misleading. These are legal adults, albeit young.’
Caputo said his team’s work was:
‘Buried in this good [CDC] work are sometimes stories which seem to purposefully mislead and undermine the President’s Covid response with what some scientists label as poor scholarship — and others call politics disguised in science.’
Kates explained that the CDC reports have been essential in dealing with epidemics in the past. The MMWR was first posted in 1981 on HIV:
‘Physicians recognized there was some kind of pattern and disseminated it around the country and the world. We can now see how important it was to have that publication, in that moment.’
Epidemiologist & Health Economist. Senior Fellow @FAScientists tweeted his alarm “Holy shit:”

bipartisanreport--2020-09-14--Alexander Vindman Reveals New Information On Trump Corruption

Then-Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman , who has since retired from the military , was a key witness during the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump .
Vindman himself , who worked on the National Security Council ( NSC ) at the time , was among those listening in to the call when Trump demanded a “ favor ” from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a phone conversation .
The effort by Trump and his allies to bribe Ukraine into investigating the Bidens is what sparked Trump ’ s impeachment .
In a new interview with Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Vladimir Putin ’ s “ useful idiot.
” That phrase , Goldberg notes , is “ commonly used to describe dupes of authoritarian regimes.
” Vindman explained the following to Goldberg , who asked whether or not the now ex-NSC official thinks that Trump is an “ asset ” of Russian intelligence agencies : ‘ President Trump should be considered to be a useful idiot and a fellow traveler , which makes him an unwitting agent of Putin… [ Russia ] may or may not have dirt on [ Trump ] , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use it .
They have more effective and less risky ways to employ him .
He has aspirations to be the kind of leader that Putin is , and so he admires him .
He likes authoritarian strongmen who act with impunity , without checks and balances .
So he ’ ll try to please Putin.
’ Vindman had another memorable way to describe the president ’ s relationship to Putin — “ free chicken ” for Russia .
Vindman explained : According to the new book Rage from longtime journalist Bob Woodward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Coats “ continued to harbor the secret belief , one that had grown rather than lessened , although unsupported by intelligence proof , that Putin had something on Trump.
” The idea that Russia “ has something ” on Trump has arisen before — that “ something ” could be financial , or it could be of a more salacious nature .
What is clear is that , right now , the Trump White House continues to operate with “ no… boundaries , ” as Goldberg summarized Vindman ’ s observations .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way .
Vindman explained to Goldberg that his “ goal now is to remind people ” that the “ ultimate goal of this president is to get you to disbelieve what you ’ ve seen and what you ’ ve heard .
”

They just don ’ t .
On Monday , while Americans continue to grapple with actual real-world problems like the Coronavirus pandemic and the associated economic meltdown , Trump also rushed to Twitter to complain about the conservative news website operator Matt Drudge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ material recently .
Trump claimed that the website is “ down 51 % , ” but it ’ s unclear what he is talking about .
After one occasion when Trump claimed that Drudge ’ s website traffic was sinking , he corrected Trump on the record , telling CNN ’ s Oliver Darcy that he was “ actually experiencing record traffic ” at the time .
On Monday , Trump also de facto fawned over murderous dictators — again .
He claimed that he “ didn ’ t even know there would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Russia ’ s Vladimir Putin and North Korea ’ s Kim Jong Un are more mentally agile than Democratic presidential pick Joe Biden .
Trump ’ s claim , of course , is documentable nonsense .
He sounds like he ’ s simply saying just about whatever comes to mind that he thinks he can get away with in an attempt to rile up his base .
Trump was caught on tape by journalist Bob Woodward admitting to intentionally downplaying the Coronavirus all the way back in March .

Trump’s claim, of course, is documentable nonsense. He sounds like he’s simply saying just about whatever comes to mind that he thinks he can get away with in an attempt to rile up his base.

According to The New York Times, Trump’s early entry into the race (he filed on the day of his inauguration) should have given him a tremendous cash advantage over his challengers, who didn’t enter the race until almost three years later.

There is one sign of good news in the polls for Democrats — seniors , who Trump won by a 17 percent margin in 2016 , are going for Biden in large numbers .
A recent NBC survey revealed that Biden led among Florida seniors by one percent , which represents an apparent 18 percent shift towards the Democrats .

Trump nearly killed his bid to win the 2016 presidency when an audiotape came out with him talking about grabbing women:

bipartisanreport--2020-09-14--‘Lock Him Up’ Obama Chant Erupts At Rally As Trump Smiles Gleefully

At a Sunday night rally in Las Vegas , Nevada — which he held as if the Coronavirus simply does not exist anymore — President Donald Trump looked on with some kind of sick pride as the rallygoers chanted “ Lock him up !
” in reference to Barack Obama .
The chant came after Trump claimed that Obama had gotten caught spying on the Trump campaign , which did not happen .
The Obama administration conducted judically supervised surveillance of an ex-Trump aide once that individual — Carter Page — was no longer associated with the Trump campaign .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump .
Before the chant , Trump said the following : Trump is lying .
Obama was not caught spying on the Trump campaign .
His administration did not conduct any “ spying ” targeting the 2016 Trump operation — this is not a contestable fact .
It is basic reality .
After his above diatribe , the crowd broke into their “ Lock him up !
” chant , and Trump stepped back from the podium and basked in the racist glow .
It ’ s not “ normal ” for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fantasize about locking up their political opponents .
Check out the troubling video below : In the case of Trump ’ s unhinged Sunday night rally performance , there ’ s an added subtext of racism , since Obama is , of course , black .
Trump has spent literal years winding himself up into a racist rage against Obama , who Trump famously spent awhile claiming may not have been born in the United States .
There was never any evidence for Trump ’ s claim .
It was just racism — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In office , Trump has kept up the pace of his anti-Obama frenzy with his sometimes frantic rush to undo Obama era accomplishments .
Trump ’ s racism has emerged elsewhere .
For instance , he has recently been running with the idea that he will save “ suburbs ” from an “ invasion ” of low income housing — the racial subtexts are only barely veiled .
It ’ s marginalized communities including many black Americans who are most often associated with low income housing .

bipartisanreport--2020-09-14--Trump Caught Using Homophobic Slur On Black Man: “Black F*g”

According to his longtime former “ fixer ” Michael Cohen , who has written a book about his experiences , Donald Trump once openly used a homophobic slur to describe a contestant on the first season of his reality show , The Apprentice .
The contestant was Kwame Jackson , a gay black man who graduated from Harvard Business School and was one of the final two contestants in the first season .
According to Cohen , Trump insisted to him that he wasn ’ t going to let the “ black fag ” when the season , so he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rancic was eventually brought onboard to oversee the construction of Trump Tower Chicago .
Cohen describes the incident involving Trump ’ s derisive attitude towards Jackson in his new book , which is called Disloyal .
( Cohen has very openly broken with the president at this point . )
The excerpt in question reads as follows : ‘ [ In ] September 2008 , we were in Chicago for the “ topping off ” ceremony for The Trump International Hotel and Tower .
Bill Rancic , who had won the first season @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been put in charge of the project .
Trump reminisced to me about Rancic , who had been in a head-to-head with another contestant , Kwame Jackson .
Kwame was not only a nice guy , but also a brilliant Harvard MBA graduate .
Trump was explaining his back-and-forth about not picking Kwame .
“ There was no way I was going to let this black fag win , ” he said to me.
’ Jackson has actually previously confirmed that he “ had heard that the president made such a comment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Vanity Fair .
It ’ s far from the first occasion on which Trump has been derisive towards marginalized communities — no matter his haughty , self-important proclamations of how much that he has supposedly done for black Americans , he has even been accused of freely using the N-word .
In office as president , Trump has more recently turned towards the thinly veiled racism of proclaiming that he will save the “ suburbs ” from an “ invasion ” of low-income housing .
Marginalized communities like many black Americans are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ housing .
Trump is engaging in thinly veiled , delusional race-baiting in his desperate push for re-election .

The Lincoln Project, a group of Republican strategists, released a video on Thursday that shows Trump acknowledging the dangers of a herd immunity strategy in April as well as video of recent statements Trump has made supporting that plan. There are a number of reasons that this plan is extremely dangerous.
There are approximately 331 million people in the United States. Of people who have tested positive for coronavirus so far in the U.S., the virus has had approximately a three percent death rate. Should even half the population of the country contract the virus, working towards herd immunity, it would mean millions of deaths. Even at the current rate of death, approximately half a million people are expected to die. Herd immunity would kill exponentially more Americans than that.
There’s another problem with the concept of herd immunity in terms of COVID-19, as well. Currently, there’s no scientific evidence that shows that having COVID-19 once means you won’t have it again.

Thus far , he has not done so .

In August, Postmaster General Louis Dejoy, a prominent Trump donor confirmed by a panel selected by Donald Trump, told Congress that he would roll back changes to the mailing system in order to prevent any appearance of political sabotage. Thus far, he has not done so.
Wow, federal judge rules Trump & Louis DeJoy were "involved in a politically motivated attack on the efficiency of the Postal Service” & will issue injunction reversing changes leading to mail delays under DeJoy https://t.co/HnKJPg3frx — Ari Berman (@AriBerman) September 17, 2020
In Washington, a U.S. judge put a federal injunction against the USPS to halt those changes and demanded that the changes that have already occurred – the removal of drop boxes, the removal of sorting machines, and the “leave behind” policy which requires postal workers to leave any mail they haven’t collected for delivery by a certain time. The judge pulled no punches, calling the changes “a politically motivated attack.”
According to the Associated Press:

Alarmingly, Postmaster General DeJoy has acted as an accomplice in the President’s effort to cheat the election and manipulate the Postal Service to deny eligible voters access to the ballot in pursuit of his own re-election. #DontMessWithUSPS — Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) August 16, 2020

Americans should know Republican donor and Trump loyalist Louis DeJoy, who has been Postmaster General since May and who many USPS workers warn is putting policies in place to help Trump cheat in the 2020 election by slowing down absentee ballot deliveries. pic.twitter.com/Ploc0DQ4E7 — Alexandra Chalupa (@AlexandraChalup) July 31, 2020
The changes, the state said, were made without going through the proper channels. The postmaster general has some authority, but not enough to implement widespread changes to the structure of the USPS.
‘Led by Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, the states said the Postal Service made the changes without first bringing them to the Postal Regulatory Commission for public comment and an advisory opinion, as required by federal law. They also said the changes interfered with their constitutional authority to administer their elections.’
NEW: A federal judge grants a request from 14 states to temporarily block operational changes at USPS that have slowed delivery; says Trump & DeJoy are “involved in a politically motivated attack on the efficiency of the USPS” and could disrupt election. https://t.co/r9jBTG9TdG — Brian Tyler Cohen (@briantylercohen) September 17, 2020


bipartisanreport--2020-09-17--Trump Slurs Basic Words & Goes Berserk During Thursday Speech Debacle

On Thursday , President Donald Trump delivered a speech at the National Archives on the occasion of Constitution Day , which is a federal holiday on the date that the U.S. Constitution was signed by delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention .
Trump ’ s speech was full of bizarrely bombastic nonsense , and he slurred his way through it .
Case in point : at one point , he referred to the “ immortable ” principles of the country ’ s so-called Founding Fathers .
What ?
Was he trying to say “ immortal ” ?
Why don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lapses more seriously ?
Belligerently ranting that “ left-wing mobs have torn down statues of our Founders , desecrated our memorials , and carried out a campaign of violence and anarchy , ” Trump added : ‘ The left has launched a vicious and violent assault on law enforcement , the universal symbol of the rule of law in America .
These radicals have been aided and abetted by liberal politicians , establishment media , and even large corporations .
Whether it ’ s the mob on the street or the “ cancel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goal is the same : to silence dissent , to scare you out of speaking the truth , and to bully Americans into abandoning their values , their heritage , and their very way of life.
’ Trump is lying .
He ’ s not maybe or even possibly onto something — he is lying .
There has been no systematic support from “ liberal politicians ” for a “ violent assault on law enforcement , ” according to any remotely reasonable understanding .
As if he revels in the thrill of idiocy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the chasm between the vast numbers of peaceful demonstrators against police brutality — whose causes have been lifted up by some Democratic politicians — and isolated instances of rioting that have sprung up .
As if he imagines himself as some kind of totalitarian dictator , Trump talks like maintaining the public image of “ America ” is more important to him than treating his own fellow Americans as anything other than caricatured conspirators against him .
His conspiratorial allegations are , quite simply , nonsense .

Trump is lying. He’s not maybe or even possibly onto something — he is lying. There has been no systematic support from “liberal politicians” for a “violent assault on law enforcement,” according to any remotely reasonable understanding.
As if he revels in the thrill of idiocy, Trump consistently adamantly refuses to acknowledge the chasm between the vast numbers of peaceful demonstrators against police brutality — whose causes have been lifted up by some Democratic politicians — and isolated instances of rioting that have sprung up. As if he imagines himself as some kind of totalitarian dictator, Trump talks like maintaining the public image of “America” is more important to him than treating his own fellow Americans as anything other than caricatured conspirators against him. His conspiratorial allegations are, quite simply, nonsense.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence pointed to Andriy Derkach .

Wray continued :

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence pointed to Andriy Derkach. The Ukrainian politician has been very pro-Russian and close toe Trump’s new fixer Rudy Giuliani:
‘[He had] met with President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, as an agent of Russia’s influence operations.’
Wray noted that Russia have never really stopped interfering with the U.S. elections, which could be considered an act of war. The FBI Director emphasized that the intelligence community saw no evidence that Moscow had attempted to target the election infrastructure. He said that an example of that would be an attempt to interfere with voter databases.
As far as Trump and his Attorney General William Barr attacking “antifa” as a terrorist organization, Wray said:
‘[Antifa was] more of an ideology or a movement than an organization.’
He said that although some people who have committed violent acts and described themselves as antifa there really was no antifa organization. There simply has not been any central organization. Wray continued:

The Pennsylvania state Supreme Court has delivered a significant victory for Democrats and approved the extension of the deadline for receiving mail-in ballots.

Republicans, who seem remarkably adept at finding new and inventive ways to fight against voting rights on a consistent basis, opposed extending the deadline.

bipartisanreport--2020-09-17--Trump Fires Off 10-Tweet Afternoon Meltdown As Re-Election Chances Fade

President Donald Trump is consistently publicly flailing as the general election approaches and his re-election chances continue to sink , according to available polling .
On Thursday afternoon , he fired off a series of ten tweets that contained utterly baseless nonsense about his political opponents , as if he is endlessly determined to find a conspiracy against him right around every corner .
He claimed , for instance , that the Michigan Secretary of State had intentionally misprinted a comparatively very small selection of ballots that excluded Mike Pence ’ s name — but there ’ s no evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claimed that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden wants to get rid of private health insurance plans for 180 million Americans , but Biden clearly and explicitly does not .
‘ The Democrat Trump Hater Secretary of State of Michigan , purposely misprinted Ballots for the Military , putting the wrong names on the Ballot , and actually listing a member of another party as a replacement for Vice President @ Mike_Pence .
Everybody is totally confused by their egregious behavior , which is just the way they want it .
This was not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and on purpose .
We want Mike !
’ Again — there ’ s no evidence for this claim .
The allegation that the Secretary of State in Michigan intentionally misprinted the ballots is total and complete nonsense .
Trump pulled it out of thin air .
What benefit would Democrats even get from excluding Mike Pence ’ s name on a comparatively tiny selection of ballots ?
These half-baked conspiracies are kooky — and Trump had more of them .
He also tweeted that “ Unsolicited Ballots are uncontrollable , totally open @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This is untrue .
There is no evidence of foreign countries interfering in the mail-in voting process .
How would they even do that ?
Mail-in ballots have to be tied to individual voters .
Ballots can ’ t simply be printed out and mailed in and then counted without any sort of screening .
A top intelligence official recently told reporters that they “ have no information or intelligence that any nation state threat actor is engaging in activity … to undermine any part of the mail-in vote or ballots.
” No @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

As for his claim about Biden and healthcare , Biden explicitly opposes doing away with private health insurance plans and replacing them with “ socialized medicine.
