I don't know why Kelly, Dunford and Mattis are bothering to be anonymous. There's really no one other than Kelly who could be the source of what Trump said while the two were standing over Kelly's son's grave. I get the general principal of the military staying out of politics but this election is a knife fight for our democracy. There's going to be no democracy to defend if our side loses.
I admire their technique of a steady drip of these stories leading up to the election though. It's something we already know but there's value on keeping Trump's disloyalty to the people he commands front and center in our minds. ETA: I'll add McMaster to the above list. |

Just heard that Wacko John Bolton was talking of the fact that I discussed “love letters from Kim Jong Un” as though I viewed them as just that. Obviously, was just being sarcastic. Bolton was such a jerk! Biggest and Fastest Financial Recovery In History. Next year will be the best ever, unless a Sleepy person, who wants to massively raise your taxes, gets in. I’m which case, CRASH!!! |

Another press conference going on right now. I watch a minute or two, then realized I'd get all the pertinent information later on during the news. Otherwise it's just a bunch of rants with very little new being said.

Trump's 'press conference' was almost painful to watch. The man just spent the entire time ranting, raving and airing his usual grievances. He claimed the report in The Atlantic was entirely made and 'a hoax' (naturally). He attacked McCain, Biden, Obama, Clinton, Dems, went on and on about being spied on again, China, claimed he's against 'cancel culture' even though he engages in it on twitter, etc. He is obviously not in a good place mentally. He is running very scared.

Its still hard to understand the disconnect and the way the media lets Trump get away with it.
Person X is hired to fill some position in the Trump administration. Person X is fired for disagreeing with Trump/Breaking the law/expressing their true opinion of Trump. Person X is then endlessly referred to by Trump as a loser/idiot/wacko. At some point it would be nice if a reporter had the balls to ask Trump why he keeps getting fooled by these wackos into hiring them in the first place? |

Trump: DeJoy should be removed if it 'can be proven that he did something wrong'
https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...en-that-he-did Is this a setup for a firing, or a boast that man can't be touched? |

But there are tapes, many of them. And there are many Tweets.
If the Democrats are smart, they'll make dozens of ads with Trump's unkept promises, his egging on violence, and his divisiveness, I don't think the Veterans are better off, show that. And show Trump with his gold toilets claiming how good the stock market is, next to the unemployed and people not surviving. Show all those closed for good businesses. Show those two people in scrubs holding off Trump supporters. This stuff is marketing 101. It writes itself. |

Yes, Trump holds a press conference and the media come running. I do believe they stopped showing the segment live, however, telling the TV audience they would report it if anything new comes up.
I hope they remember that and don't fall into the show every minute of Trump rut. |

Jena Griswold Colorado Secretary of State Tweeted
@JenaGriswold In Colorado, we take double voting seriously and refer all suspected cases for legal enforcement. If it makes sense, I will include @realDonaldTrump in the referral for prosecution. He may not have presidential immunity anymore depending on the election. |

If by standing up for them, Trump means deregulating their employers in ways that have caused a significant increase of outright worker deaths, before getting to everything else, then sure. That's not before even beginning to touch things on the COVID front, for that matter. |
