Trump said, “I feel so guilty. You’re waiting out here in the rain. They gave me a hat. I said, you know, they’ve been waiting out here for hours. I shouldn’t put on a hat, right? They even said, sir, we have the car. It’s going to take you from the beautiful Air Force One, isn’t that a beauty? But I said I gotta walk it. These people are tough. They’re from Lansing.”
Donald Trump has now set the bar so low for himself that he thinks he’s a tough guy if he walks in the rain without an umbrella or a hat. Trump has surrendered on the coronavirus pandemic because he is tough enough to walk in Michigan’s fall showers.
Given Trump’s track record of struggling to walk down ramps and drink water, it was a minor miracle that someone as unfit was able to overcome the challenge of rain to walk the whole way to a stage.

politicususa--2020-10-27--Trump Claims Pelosi “Is Only Looking to Bail Out Badly Run Democratic Cities”

President Donald Trump lashed out at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif. ) and accused her of “ only looking to Bail Out badly run Democrat Cities.
” The president added that she has “ little interest in helping out ” Americans .
The president ’ s tweet highlights the bitterness of the partisan divide amid congressional struggles to approve another financial relief package to help individuals and businesses affected by the Covid-19 pandemic .
A Columbia University study found that eight million more Americans are in poverty after coronavirus relief stimulus talks collapsed , a sign that “ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declines and subsequent increases in monthly employment ever witnessed in the U.S. , and has made clear the importance of high-frequency data on family well-being to inform policymaking.
” Congress approved the CARES Act in March , which provided qualifying Americans with a one-time stimulus check of $ 1,200 as well as a $ 600 boost to unemployment benefits .
The legislation prevented many Americans from slipping into destitution as the coronavirus pandemic began to wreak havoc on the economy .
However , things have changed since CARES Act benefits expired at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ package approved since then amid infighting in Congress .
“ Our findings show that the monthly poverty rate increased from 15 % to 16.7 % from February to September 2020 , even after taking the government ’ s response ( primarily the CARES Act , which we describe below ) into account , ” the researchers wrote .
“ We find that at the peak of the crisis ( April 2020 ) , the CARES Act successfully blunted a rise in poverty ; however , it was not able to stop an increase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less than half the poverty line.
” “ We also find that the expiration of government income supports at the end of July 2020 has contributed to an increase in poverty rates in August and September , ” they continue .
“ The CARES Act ’ s stimulus checks and unemployment benefits lifted more than 18 million individuals out of monthly poverty in April , but this number fell to around 4 million individuals in August and September after the expiration of the $ 600 per week unemployment supplement .
The increases in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Hispanic individuals , as well as for children.
” Negotiations in Congress have stalled with no end in sight .
It is unlikely that a new stimulus package will be approved before November 3 , the day of the general election .
A separate study , this one from the University of Chicago and the University of Notre Dame , found six million Americans fell into poverty within the last three months alone .

Judge Kaplan, however, ruled against the department’s maneuver, saying Mr. Trump was not acting in his official capacity when he denied the accusation. “His comments concerned an alleged sexual assault that took place several decades before he took office, and the allegations have no relationship to the official business of the United States,” the judge wrote.
Barr had tried to get the case moved to federal court, and Trump removed as the defendant, which would have resulted in the charges being dismissed.
The ruling is a blow to Trump’s broad definition of presidential protections. This is not the first time that courts have rejected the president’s claims and his administration that he can’t be sued. The most high profile example being the Supreme Court on the matter of Trump’s tax returns.

Of the two states, Biden winning Georgia would be the bigger surprise. Georgia has consistently been a tight race. Of the last nine polls of Georgia, there have been five Biden leads, two Trump leads, and two ties, so the state is almost a dead heat.
The situation is a bit different in North Carolina. Biden has led seven of the last eleven polls with two ties, and the only Trump leads coming in two Republican polls.
The lesson for Democrats is that they have a unique opportunity in front of them that can only become reality if they get out and vote. One of the blessings of 2016 is that Democrats know what they are up against and how hard they will have to fight until every vote is counted and a winner is declared.
No state should be ignored.
Trump has trouble brewing in the South, and voting is how Democrats can capitalize on it.

This was the scene in Omaha where Trump left chaos in his wake by stranding supporters three miles from their cars in the freezing cold after his rally:
Thousands of people left out in the cold and stranded in #Omaha, #Nebraska after a #Trump rally. I’m told the shuttles aren’t operating & there aren’t enough busses.

After the Georgia indictment, it’s way past time to acknowledge the silent majority of voters in the United States, all 81,282,916 of them, who waited lawfully and peacefully for any sign of justice after the Trump alleged crime syndicate tried to steal their votes and destroy their country because they didn’t like the outcome of the election.
These are the Biden voters. They don’t get write ups from diners or long think pieces about how they are behaving horribly because of their anxiety. They deserve recognition for their patience, for their lawfulness, for their steadfastness in the face of grave injustice and wrongdoing against their sacred right to vote.
Biden voters in primarily Black cities were harassed, lied about, intimidated, and maligned publicly and consistently for years by the Trump alleged crime enterprise in an effort to steal an election. They did not respond in kind.
Biden voters watched as their own Representatives in some swing states actively worked to disenfranchise their votes. They did not respond with violence.
Biden voters watched as a mob descended upon the U.S. Capitol trying to seize an election from them. They did not respond in kind.
Biden voters watched as multiple Republican witnesses came forward to prove that Trump and his allegedly criminal enterprise tried to steal an election they knew they had lost and incited the armed mob at the Capitol. Still, they waited patiently for the law to do its job.
The 2020 election went 51.3% for Joe Biden and 46.9% for Donald Trump. There was never a path for Donald Trump to win that election. Nor were he and his allegedly criminal enterprise ever able to prove any of their claims about widespread election fraud. Trump’s own handpicked Attorney General William Barr called his claims baseless at the time, saying the DOJ hadn’t uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Still, the Biden voters watched as the Trump team continued trying to overturn the election, to seize an election it had lost, weaponizing the power of the presidency at every turn to undermine democracy and to steal the most sacred right to vote from citizens who often overcame great obstacles during a pandemic to cast their ballot.
Without any sign of justice, they mobilized and organized in the 2022 midterms to show up once again, showing a profound faith in a system that has historically not been their friend.
Until 1870, only white men were allowed to vote in the United States. Minorities and women fought very hard for the right to vote, including dying for it. Still, they remained peaceful as these criminal thugs tried to steal their votes.
First, the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870 gave voting rights to all men on paper, but in reality, many Black Americans were still denied the right to vote in a variety of ways including poll taxes, literacy tests and intimidation, which I can attest was still happening in Georgia in the 2008 election. Americans died for the right for Black people to vote in the 1960s. The poll tax was finally prohibited in federal elections, and then, after the prolonged courageous effort of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., John Lewis, Diane Nash, Ella Baker, and others, we finally got the federal protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. That wasn’t even 60 years ago.
There is a racial sickness in this country that is as clear and ugly today as it was in the 1960s and as far back as when we kidnapped the first African American and enslaved them. How can it be missed that the Trump criminal enterprise targeted *these voters* and lied about them so much as to foment their mobs to descend on a Detroit vote counting facility chanting “Stop the count!”
One of the racists was wearing a horror mask as they intimidated election workers. “An election supervisor reported the man referred to slavery using using racist language as well. He was wearing a horror mask ‘similar to the masks worn by the villains in the movies ‘Halloween’ and ‘Friday the 13th’,’ which did not properly cover his mouth.”
In case it’s not clear yet, Republicans proceeded that attack by asking a judge to toss out tens of thousands of Detroit voters’ ballots, without a shred of evidence of cause.
I’ve been writing about the racism in these attacks since they began. But many in the media seem to have just become aware of this fact, which is discouraging and again, shows a bias against the non-Trump voters’ stories mattering. I don’t write that to condemn, but rather in hopes, as always, of drawing attention to the quiet patriots whose rights have been assaulted repeatedly and consistently.
For decades, women protested to be given the right to vote. Finally, on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment was ratified and granted women the right to vote. The suffragettes were jailed and sometimes abused in their fight for this most precious right. And still, not all women had the right to vote. Decades of further work went into getting Black women and other minority women the right to vote.
And again, who are the people who were targeted the most by the Trump crime enterprise? Black voters. Black voters and Black women election workers in Georgia like Shaye Moss and Lady Ruby Freeman, whose testimony for the 1/6 Committee was a must watch, as she asked, “Do you know how it feels to have the President Of The United States target you?”
Donald Trump and his criminal enterprise targeted these voters and election workers knowingly with lies. Now criminally indicted in the Trump plot, Rudy Giulani finally admitted this in court in July.
And still, they are ignored. Their stories are dismissed. Their rights being trampled on is almost expected and they are expected to just go along with this. They have been condemned by some media commentators for being angry, in fact, even as further rights were stolen from them.
Did they, in any organized, national campaign, try to keep others from voting? No. Did they go to election locations and try to intimidate people? No. Did they try to stop vote counting? No. Did they try to get white Republican men tossed off of voting rolls? No.
The media is obsessed with the Trump voter, partly it seems to me because the media is usually located in a liberal city and they are fascinated by what they don’t understand and after decades of Republicans gaming the ref by accusing the media of ignoring “everyday Americans” – which no one ever questions as referencing Republicans only – they feel guilt about being “elites” and see the white working class men as Real Americans they should worship.
But there are many other “Real Americans” who also built this country, who spilled blood for this country, who serve this country, who heroically volunteer in our elections and teach our children, but these Americans are ignored. It’s ironic that I’ve been telling that story for years, from a majority Trump district, although I grew up in suburban and real Detroit, and worked to register voters in Georgia during Obama’s first campaign for the presidency.
For years, we’ve heard that Trump shouldn’t be prosecuted because it will help Trump get elected and or his supporters will become violent. This framing is so clueless it’s risible. When you hear a media commenter giving this weight, it means they don’t understand the real world.
In the real world, non-Trump voters have been dealing with the threat of violence in their communities since his first campaign. Many of them are afraid to put up a sign that says “Kindness matters,” lest it give away their anti-Trump position, and tragically, some have been intimidated by Trump thugs into not casting their votes.
But also, is this really the argument our media is willing to accept as a viable political position by one of two major political parties — that we should be terrorized into allowing Trump to get away with his attacks on the voting rights of a majority of Americans? — that the rights of a majority of Americans should be ignored because Donald Trump doesn’t like to lose?
The Biden voters have been predominantly lawful, they have peacefully endured this specific attack by Trump’s alleged criminal enterprise for years. They have not had their stories amplified. Instead, the focus is usually on the entitled supporters of the wealthy, white man who lost an election and tried to destroy the United States because of it. Somehow there is almost an assumption that these folks had a right to try to steal the votes of the majority of Americans. Their right to be heard, their precious free speech, is a common subject of media debate.
We should instead be focusing on the precious right to vote and those who have followed the rules and doubled down to try harder when that wasn’t good enough, and keep coming back as patriotic participants in this democracy that they clearly love and want to participate in. They are the fighters for justice and freedom. They deserve our praise, our thanks, and our recognition.
Biden voters waited two and a half years for any show of justice. Justice is simply asking the legal system to acknowledge that the attempt to steal their votes was illegal. Donald John Trump and his alleged criminal enterprise are innocent until proven guilty, but are now being held accountable in some measure for their attempts to disenfranchise 80 million plus voters.
Finally, this is what justice looks like.
Let’s raise up the stories of the real heroes of the several years — the voters who have somehow managed, even when all faith in their country was gone and when it seemed like no one was going to even stand up for their basic rights, to hang in there waiting for the legal system to find a hero to do its job.
It is not a surprise that the hero is a Black woman from Georgia.
To the real Silent Majority, we see you. Your patriotism matters. Your faith and loyalty to a country that has not always given back what you deserve are commended. On behalf of our democracy, we thank you and we salute you.

Tucker Carlson promised his audience super-secret authentically damning Hunter Biden documents , but now claims they were stolen by the mail .
Carlson said , “ We texted a producer in New York and him to send those documents to us in LA , and he did that , so Monday afternoon of this week he shipped those documents to LA with a large national carrier , a brand name company that we ’ ve used , you ’ ve used countless times without ever having a single problem , but the Biden documents never arrived in Los Angeles .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ shipping company that our package had been opened and the contents were missing .
The documents had disappeared.
” Next time , Tucker should just have Rudy email him the Russian disinformation .
It will be a lot faster .
There are several holes in Tucker ’ s tall tale .
If these documents are so explosive , why didn ’ t anyone make a copy before they were sent ?
This is the year 2020 , but Carlson wants the world to believe that there are no digital copies of these documents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely a lie .
Either these documents never existed , or they were Russian fakes , and since Tucker Carlson doesn ’ t want to get sued , it is better to string his audience along with a conspiracy theory than to run with fake Hunter Biden documents .

When Donald Trump was tasked with beating back the coronavirus in early March , he failed spectacularly .

The COVID pandemic is once again growing in America .
While Trump has behaved as if the country has put it behind them , the US is close to hitting 100,000 new cases a day .
And voices like those of Birx and Fauci have been silenced within the White House .

And because of the presence of Atlas , Birx has reportedly stopped attending task force meetings and hasn ’ t been to one since the summer .

” “ I ’ ve known Debbie a long time .
She really is completely driven by getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I think she ’ s frustrated .
If she can ’ t get it done in the White House , the way to do it is go into the field and use personal diplomacy to convince politicians there is a right way to do this and a right way to approach things , and the consequences of failure are significant .

The only way that Trump has more than a chance of winning Pennsylvania is to get ballots tossed, but the President has lost every lawsuit and challenge so far in the Keystone State.
Trump is blowing up because he is running out of time and without Supreme Court help, victory in Pennsylvania could be beyond his reach.

politicususa--2020-10-29--Gender Gap Explodes In Florida And Powers Biden To 4-6 Point Lead

The gender gap has widened in Florida over the past month , which has resulted in Joe Biden opening up a 4-6 point lead over Trump .
According to the new Monmouth University Poll of Florida as provided to PoliticusUSA : Among all registered voters in Florida , the race for president stands at 50 % for Biden and 45 % for Trump .
Another 1 % support Jo Jorgensen ( Libertarian ) , less than 1 % back Howie Hawkins ( Green ) , and 2 % are undecided .
In different likely voter models+ , the race stands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ % for Trump in a high turnout scenario and 50 % to 46 % with lower turnout .
The gender gap has widened in the past month .
Biden leads among women by 60 % to 37 % ( versus 53 % to 41 % in September ) and Trump leads among men by 54 % to 39 % ( versus 49 % to 46 % last month ) .
The Democrat maintains a large advantage among voters of color ( 68 % to 23 % ) , although his lead is smaller @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 32 % ) .
These findings are virtually identical to Monmouth ’ s September results .
The media can get too hung up on the top-line number .
The important point to take away from the poll is the trajectory .
Joe Biden is closing strong , as the same coalition that powered Democrats women , African-Americans , and suburban white voters are solidly behind Joe Biden .
The early voting data suggests that we can throw out polls based on low turnout models .
This is going to be a high @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country .
Trump ’ s lead with men may not be enough to offset Joe Biden ’ s strong support from women .
Trump ’ s insistence on holding multiple rallies a day is backfiring on him as his comments about women are pushing more voters away .
Donald Trump bet that his white male base would carry him to victory in Florida , but might be women who hand the state to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris .

The FBI did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment, though Hitt says the bureau is investigating the matter.

As the AP notes:

He said the hackers manipulated invoices from four vendors who were being paid to send out direct mail for Trump’s reelection efforts and to provide pro-Trump material such as hats that could be handed out to supporters.

politicususa--2020-10-30--Pathetic Trump Cuts Off Minnesota Rally After Being Denied A Big Crowd

The electoral map for Donald Trump ’ s 2020 reelection campaign looks arduous .
With a number of states turning increasingly blue , Trump needs to thread a very difficult needle to get to 270 electoral votes .
Knowing just how bad the math is for him , the president is doing multiple campaign events each day .
Tonight , he is in Minnesota , a state that 538.com gives him only a 7 % chance of winning .
And the results of the visit are embarrassing .
Trump began his visit by doing a rally at a Rochester , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with most of his greatest hits .
If Biden wins , he told the crowd , “ There will be no schools , no graduations , no weddings , no Thanksgiving , no Fourth of July , no nothing .
There will be no future for America ’ s youth .
“ He also ripped the governor of the state , Tim Walz , for enforcing COVID restrictions .
There were then major problems with his audio feed .
ABC ’ s Garrett Haake tweeted , “ Maybe it ’ s the small @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cold .
But this is the lowest energy I ’ ve ever seen the president be at a rally .
He ’ s blowing through his applause lines , just checking the boxes on his usual speech , like he ’ s got somewhere to be.
” And it does seem like he has somewhere to be .
Vox ’ s Aaron Rupar writes , “ Wow — Trump cuts short a low energy performance in Rochester , Minnesota , after less than 30 minutes of speaking.
” Health officials forced Trump to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less , which is likely why the president showed no interest and quickly bolted from his speech .
