A Saturday report from Axios claimed that Donald Trump has a “post-election execution list” that he plans to act on should he win re-election in November. According to the report, Trump’s first order of business will be to fire FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director Gina Haspel, and Defense Secretary Mark Esper.
Notably, the report claims that Wray and Haspel are almost universally distrusted and despised in Trump’s inner circle.
The FBI head allegedly ruffled Trump’s feathers when he did not launch a formal investigation into the foreign business dealings of Hunter Biden, the son of his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden. In addition, the president is reportedly unhappy that Wray didn’t purge more officials believed to be linked to abuses of power related to Robert Mueller’s 2016 Russia investigation.
As for the CIA head, a source with direct knowledge of internal conversations in the White House claims her approach to her job has fueled a significant “suspicion of her motives.”
“The view of Haspel in the West Wing is that she still sees her job as manipulating people and outcomes, the way she must have when she was working assets in the field.”
Trump was allegedly unhappy with Esper’s opposition to sending active-duty military into the streets of American cities to quell the civil unrest sparked by racial justice protests. The president was also reportedly not pleased with the Defense secretary’s decision to distance himself from the clearing of Lafayette Square for a St. John’s church photo-op with Trump holding a Bible.
Trump has also expressed displeasure with Attorney General William Barr behind closed doors. However, an administration official claimed that the head of state has no plans to replace him as yet.
In a statement to Axios, White House spokesman Judd Deere remained tight-lipped about possible administration shakeups.
“We have no personnel announcements at this time nor would it be appropriate to speculate about changes after the election or in a 2nd term.”
Per The Inquisitr, previous reporting pointed to a purported enemies list of Republicans that have betrayed the U.S. leader or appear to be planning to do so. The news comes amid the president’s poor performance in the polls and GOP lawmaker concerns over holding onto the Senate. Two lawmakers who are likely in Trump’s sights are Sens. Ben Sasse and Susan Collins.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has also broken with Trump in recent weeks. Ian Shepherdson, the chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, believes this stems from the politician’s belief that Trump is on track to lose the election.

In a statement released on Sunday , Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden responded to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows ’ suggestion that the United States is “ not going to control ” the coronavirus pandemic , The Hill reported .
Meadows made the comments during an appearance on CNN , seemingly arguing that the U.S. should focus on developing therapeutics and vaccines for COVID-19 , instead of trying to slow down the spread of the virus .
Biden said that Meadows essentially admitted that President Donald Trump has surrendered and that he has no clear plan to tackle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ argued that simple measures like social distancing and mask-wearing could significantly reduce the spread of the disease and save lives .
He pointed to a recent study from the University of Washington ’ s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation , which established that universal masking could save up to 100,000 lives over the next few months .
The Democrat then called on Trump to listen to experts and implement public health measures .
“ It ’ s long past time for [ Trump ] and his administration to listen to the scientists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seriously the threat of a virus that ’ s costing thousands of lives each week , shuttering our schools , and forcing millions of Americans out of work , ” he said .

And lessening of our leadership , ” she said .

In a Sunday interview with Fox News , Vice President Mike Pence defended President Donald Trump administration ’ s response to the coronavirus pandemic .
Speaking with anchor Mark Levin , Pence argued that Trump took action early on , praising the decision to restrict travel to and from China , where the virus is thought to have originated .
Pence slammed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden , saying that Biden criticized the initiative as “ xenophobic.
” Travel restrictions , Pence argued , “ bought us time ” to establish testing systems and rapidly produce and distribute the necessary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bashing the Obama administration , accusing his predecessors of mishandling the federal government ’ s response to the 2009 H1N1 swine flu .
He pointed out that the swine flu “ infected 60 million Americans , and if it had had the same fatality rate as the coronavirus does , we would have lost more than two million American lives.
” But it did not have the same fatality rate as COVID-19 .
Per The New York Times , as of Sunday morning , 224,819 people have died in the U.S. from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation has reported nearly 9 million cases .
In recent days , the numbers have increased at an alarming rate , shattering all records .

Hunter Biden Story Is Failing To Land Just Like Donald Trump’s ‘Access Hollywood’ Tape, Commentator Says

Progressive commentator Kyle Kulinski took to Twitter on Sunday to parallel the purported failure of the Hunter Biden story to the Democrats ’ pre-2016 election attempts to harm Donald Trump with the Access Hollywood tape that showed him having a lewd conversation with Billy Bush .
“ Trump people are trying to do to Biden what was done to Trump with the Access Hollywood tape , ” he tweeted .
“ Voters simply don ’ t care about Hunter ’ s personal pics or sex tape if they think Joe is more likely to keep job here and defeat covid.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Access Hollywood tape came as an October surprise in the lead-up to Election Day , The Boston Globe reported According to the YouTube host , Hunter Biden ’ s personal life is not enough of a significant issue to prevent voters from voting for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden .
Kulinski appears to suggest that the Democrat is tracking well with voters due to their purported belief that he would run a more effective presidency than Trump and successfully deal with the coronavirus pandemic .
The Hunter Biden scandal centers around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former vice president ’ s son .
Emails on the device that allegedly to belong to Hunter Biden suggest profiteering from business interests in China .
As The Inquisitr reported , multiple reports indicated that the computer also contains child pornography .
Although Kulinski doesn ’ t believe the story is landing , he argued in a previous tweet that the reporting on the claims has inadvertently increased public interest in them nonetheless .
“ The media made the Hunter Biden story much bigger than it should ’ ve been by running cover @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had passed on it for my show because there ’ s no new information there , just pictures that violated privacy .
We already knew the Burisma stuff.
” The commentator continued to claim that the censoring of the story increased its visibility .
He is referring to social media censorship of the original New York Post story on the laptop , which received backlash from Republicans as well as some Democrats who claimed the move set a bad precedent for journalism and freedom of speech .
Fellow progressive commentator Emma Vigeland — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Network — appeared to agree with the YouTube host ’ s sentiments on the story .
Vigeland claimed that the “ traditionally well oiled ” right-wing media apparatus has failed to harness the story for the purpose they want and — like her fellow Young Turks commentator — believes it isn ’ t as effective amid a pandemic and economic depression .

New Alleged Hunter Biden Texts Suggest He Was Accused Of Being ‘Sexually Inappropriate With Children’

New text messages alleged to belong to Hunter Biden have been released by The Gateway Pundit .
The heavily redacted conversations appear to show the Democratic presidential candidate ’ s son suggesting he was accused of being sexually inappropriate with an unnamed woman ’ s daughter .
According to the purported texts , the former Burisma board member is not allowed to be alone with the unnamed daughter .
In another reported message from Hunter Biden to a family friend , he appears to claim that his mother has accused him of being “ sexually inappropriate with children.
” The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Joe Biden and his uncle were aware of his offspring ’ s purported sexually inappropriate behavior .
“ In a text message sent to Hunter Biden from his Uncle Jim Biden , former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s brother , Uncle Jim shares that both he and former VP Joe Biden are upset with accusations of impropriety but they don ’ t believe them , ” the report claimed .
“ Jim and Joe Biden want to discuss with Hunter so they can all get their stories straight.
” Elsewhere , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who worked at Burisma with Hunter Biden , suggests that the Democratic nominee ’ s son is not allowed to be around the unnamed person without his father present .
As of Monday evening , the piece does not appear to be corroborated by any other media outlet .
The presidential candidate ’ s campaign has yet to comment on the allegations .
A Joe Biden surrogate previously refused to claim whether the conversations covered in a New York Post report belonged to the presidential candidate ’ s child .
The recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hunter Biden is purportedly part of a push from allies of Donald Trump to harm the head of state ’ s opponent ahead of the forthcoming election .
The suspected data comes from a laptop reported to belong to the Democrat that was first covered in the previously mentioned New York Post report .
Per Politico , the “ hard drive from hell ” has sparked allegations that the former vice president ’ s son was profiteering off of business interests in China .
Other purported photos and videos are alleged to show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sexual acts — including minors .
The laptop was originally discovered by Trump associate Rudy Giuliani , which has shed doubt on the integrity of the findings .
Lev Parnas , a Ukrainian-born businessman and former Giuliani associate who previously worked with the attorney to find dirt on the Bidens , claimed that pair first heard of the compromising information on May 30 , 2019 .
Recently , One America News Network anchor Jack Posobiec offered to show Mark Cuban — who has endorsed the Democratic Party ’ s nominee — the materials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the entrepreneur agreed .
Cuban also asked New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman , NBC News reporter Ben Collins , and American journalist Josh Marshall to come along .

She then pointed to Trump ’ s rhetoric and his administration ’ s policies as evidence that he is “ racist.

As The Hill noted , in recent weeks , Trump has ramped up his attacks on Harris , suggesting that she is a radical politician who would turn America into a “ socialist nation.

Neither Harris nor Biden are socialists , but Trump and his allies have long tried to cast them as such .
As The New York Times reported , both Democrats have expressed vocal opposition to progressive policy proposals such as Medicare for All and the Green New Deal .
Trump ’ s attacks have not worked , polling suggests .
He is still trailing Biden in most nationwide and battleground-state polls .
However , left-leaning lawmakers , such as Alexandria @ @ @ @ @ @ @ administration could be persuaded to adopt more progressive policies .

“You can look at Charlottesville, when there were peaceful protesters and on the other side, neo-Nazis and he talks about fine people on either side,” Harris continued.
She then pointed to Trump’s rhetoric and his administration’s policies as evidence that he is “racist.”
“Calling Mexicans rapists and criminals. His first order of business was to institute a Muslim ban. It all speaks for itself.”
According to the Hill report, Trump was one of the most vocal proponents of the so-called birther conspiracy theory, which promoted the incorrect idea that Obama was not born in the U.S.
Trump has promoted similar theories about Harris. In August, he amplified a controversial column penned by conservative law professor John Eastman.

Donald Trump attacked Barack Obama for the small crowd in attendance at a speech in support of Joe Biden that he gave on Monday .

“ Did you see the crowd that President Obama had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Fox News host Laura Ingraham argued Monday evening that Democrats are using the coronavirus pandemic “ to scare old people into voting ” for their presidential nominee , Joe Biden .
Ingraham argued that the Democratic Party is running the “ Biden-COVID ticket ” and spreading fear and panic about the disease in order to defeat President Donald Trump .
“ Using the virus panic button is all they have , ” Ingraham said .
“ It ’ s the only way to scare old people into voting for someone who seems more like an assisted living resident than future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ host then ripped into members of the press , alleging the media is colluding with Democrats by “ breathlessly ” covering spikes in new coronavirus cases .
“ They said that this could go on through 2021 into 2022 : That basically ended up being an endorsement for Joe Biden , of course , ” Ingraham posited , arguing that policies Biden has proposed to curb the spread of COVID-19 would be largely ineffective .
She said lockdowns would “ put the brakes on our current recovery , ” praising Trump for encouraging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases .
Ingraham said the public health measures Biden has called for would not only hurt the economy but also do nothing to stop the spread of the disease .
She pointed out that coronavirus cases have been surging in Europe in countries like France , where masks are mandatory and practices such as contact tracing are commonplace .
Concluding the segment , Ingraham reasserted these measures are never going to work and said they only contribute to the ongoing economic crises .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the media is reporting on COVID-19 in order to boost Biden ’ s candidacy .

inquisitr--2020-10-28--Barack Obama Is Reportedly ‘Enjoying’ Attacking Donald Trump In Lead-Up To Election

A Wednesday report from CNN shed light on Barack Obama ’ s recent attacks on Donald Trump , which appear to have escalated in the lead-up to Election Day .
According to an adviser close to the former U.S. leader , the Democrat is “ enjoying ” his role attacking his successor .

According to an adviser close to the former U.S. leader, the Democrat is “enjoying” his role attacking his successor. They also claimed that the attacks are part of a broader strategy to hit the president hardest in the last days before the election.
“He has been selective on when he has weighed in to preserve his ability to, in the home stretch, make the most pointed case possible about the current occupant of the White House and have people pay close attention.”
The source suggested that the Democrat made a conscious effort to go easier on Trump in the first years of his presidency to ensure that he could “go there” once the election drew closer to its conclusion.
As noted by CNN, Obama appears to be “enjoying the cathartic release” of his new role.
“Obama is now joyfully castigating Trump on behalf of [Joe] Biden, both laying out his policy differences with his successor and leveling biting indictments of some of Trump’s personal obsessions.”
The publication also claimed that Obama is keeping a close eye on his successor’s day-to-day actions to target and attack the head of state on issues that are known to “annoy him.”
Trump has already responded to Obama’s recent critiques.

“I think that he is kind of motivated by it: ‘Maybe I’ll just run. Maybe I’ll show them all,'” he said.


inquisitr--2020-10-28--Donald Trump Should Offer Joe Biden A Pardon To Drop Out Of The Presidential Race, Commentator Says

Not long after Tucker Carlson spoke to Tony Bobulinski on Tuesday , a former business associate of Hunter Biden , conservative commentator Jack Posobiec suggested that Donald Trump pressure Joe Biden to exit the presidential race .
“ Trump should offer Biden a pardon if he drops out now , ” he tweeted .
As reported by Fox News , Bobulinski claimed that the Democratic presdential candidate was aware of his son ’ s alleged foreign business deals and has been lying about his lack of involvement or knowledge .
The businessman also claimed that he nearly left the second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Donald Trump ’ s guest — following the candidate ’ s comments on the scandal .
“ In that debate , he made a specific statement around questions around this from the president .
And I ’ ll be honest with you , I almost stood up and screamed ‘ liar ’ and walked out because I was shocked that after four days or five days that they prep for this , that the Biden family is taking that position to the world.
” Fox News obtained text messages that showed a conversation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ younger brother of the Democratic nominee .
As noted by the publication , the discussion appears to suggest that a meeting took place .
James Biden was notably implicated in recent texts purported to refer to Hunter Biden ’ s alleged sexual inappropriateness with a minor .
Nevertheless , if the Democratic nominee was involved in criminal activity during his son ’ s purported foreign dealings while he was vice president , not everyone is on-board Posobiec ’ s push to offer him the chance to escape legal action .
Others were more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should offer a package deal .
If Biden drops out Trump could pardon the Biden family , the Clinton family , the Obama family , and James Comey , ” one user wrote .
The speculation mirrors similar talks among Democrats about possible charges against Trump if he leaves office .
Per NBC News , Biden previously said he would not pardon Trump and said he would leave prosecutorial decisions to the United States legal system .
A report from or The Intercept speculated that Trump could face prosecution for a variety of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ However , the piece claimed the likelihood of him facing any legal action is low .
Others have speculated that Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. ’ s investigation into the president could lead to his imprisonment in New York .
Duncan Levin , a former senior staff member in Vance Jr. ’ s office , said any charges stemming from the investigation would likely be serious felonies — not misdemeanor charges .

“There is a fantasy that this is the time the Democrats will win. My guess is Trump will carry Georgia by six or seven… The turnout on the Republican side will be bigger than people expect.”

inquisitr--2020-10-28--Donald Trump Was ‘Waxing Poetic About Joe Biden’s Murder,’ Activist Says

Shannon Watts , the founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America , claimed on Tuesday that Donald Trump used his Lansing , Michigan , rally to speak about the hypothetical murder of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden .
“ Donald Trump waxing poetic about Joe Biden ’ s murder if he ’ s elected , ” Watts tweeted alongside a video of the remarks .
“ That ’ s why they ’ re talking about the 25th amendment , ” Trump said .
“ Three weeks and Joe ’ s shot .
Let ’ s go Kamala @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liberal person in the Senate.
” According to the activist , Trump ’ s comments would spark legal action were he not the leader of the U.S. Attorney and author Seth Abramson also highlighted Trump ’ s comment on Twitter and claimed that the president used the word “ shot ” ambiguously .

Gretchen Whitmer “ wasn ’ t a problem.

Trump recently generated similar controversy when he spoke of the death of Michael Reinoehl , a self-described antifa member who was accused of killing Aaron “ Jay ” Danielson , allegedly a member of the right-wing Patriot Prayer group .
Reinoehl was killed at the hands of U.S .
Marshals as they were purportedly executing an arrest .
“ We want to go to Portland so bad , that one would take 15 minutes to set , 15 minutes , and the man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was an innocent man shot , killed instantly killed , ” Trump said , per The Independent .
MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes argued that Trump ’ s comments were tantamount to admitting that he ordered the murder of Reinoehl via federal agents .
Notably , reporting from The New York Times revealed that all but one witness claimed they didn ’ t hear officers identify themselves or give commands before firing on the suspect , which has generated speculation that they intended to kill him .
