Residents Of The Villages [#Florida] 'Came Out Of The Closet' For Biden

Residents Of The Villages ‘Came Out Of The Closet’ For Biden
Hundreds of pro-Biden golf carts caravanned from Florida’s conservative The Villages retirement community to a nearby elections office in what AP describes as a “warning sign” for Trump.



By NewsHound Ellen

Hundreds of pro-Biden golf carts caravanned from Florida’s conservative The Villages retirement community to a nearby elections office in what AP describes as a “warning sign” for Trump.

...............
.........................

The Morse family, which developed the community northwest of Orlando, has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican campaigns over the years. During the 2008 presidential race, GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin drew a stadium-sized crowd with 60,000 residents flocking to see her in one of the community’s town squares.

But this week:

But on Wednesday, the scene told a markedly different story. An armada of as many as 500 golf carts gathered at the Sea Breeze Recreation Center to caravan to the nearby elections office, so folks could drop off ballots for Biden.

As each cart rolled into the parking lot and slid a ballot into a locked box under the watchful eye of elections supervisors, dozens lined the sidewalk, cheering and clapping every time a vote was cast.

In a related video, Villages resident Joan Branscome says, “I think we all came out of the closet for this election.”

This is worse than an ordinary loss of support for Trump. AP notes that older voters went for Trump by 9 percentage points in 2016 and they are especially important in Florida in this year. ......................

When asked about events like this[#Thrump WH rally] , #COVID19 had this to say:

I can't tell you how horrific this photo is to epidemiologists. Hundreds of people packed together, without masks, at site of recent superspreader event. @realDonaldTrump

Trump falsely claims the coronavirus is "disappearing," then suggests the situation in the US isn't that different from elsewhere, saying, "very big flareup in Canada." Canada had about 2,500 new coronavirus cases on Friday, whereas the US had more than 58,000.

'Enormous betrayal': GOP senators furious with Trump for trying to cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi

Source: raw story






Published 1 min ago on October 10, 2020

On Saturday, Politico reported Senate Republicans are enraged that Trump went around them to try to negotiate a coronavirus stimulus deal with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) l...................
............

“At least two GOP senators warned White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin that spending as much as $2 trillion on a big bill could backfire at the ballot box,” reported Burgess Everett and Jake Sherman..................

.............

“There’s no appetite right now to spend the White House number or the House number,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) on the call. Meanwhile, Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), who chairs the Senate Republican Conference, said it would be seen as an “an enormous betrayal by our supporters” if Trump agrees to anything that expands Affordable Care Act programs to deliver relief — something that was done in the previous bipartisan round of stimulus, the CARES Act.


Trump’s reversal on negotiating a deal came after his initial refusal triggered a stock market crash, widespread outrage, and speculation that he might have thrown away his chances of re-election.

Federal judge shoots down Texas proclamation allowing one ballot drop-off location per county

Source: the hill




By Tal Axelrod - 10/09/20 11:19 PM EDT



A federal judge shot down a Texas proclamation limiting each county in the state to just one ballot drop-off location in this year’s elections, handing Democrats a key win in a competitive state.

Judge Robert Pitman, an Obama appointee serving on the District Court for the Western District of Texas, rebutted the state government’s arguments that the rule would limit voter confusion and prevent fraud, saying the rule itself was actually sparking confusion and restricting voting access.

Pitman instead ruled in his 46-page decision that the rule would in fact negatively impact voters by “creating voter confusion … causing absentee voters to travel further distances … causing absentee voters to wait in longer lines … [and] causing absentee voters to risk exposure to the coronavirus when they hand deliver their absentee ballots on Election Day.”

He added that there had been “no evidence of confusion” with the prior rule, which had allowed multiple drop-off sites in each of Texas’s 254 counties.

Pitman also rebuked the state’s arguments that drop-off sites could attract fraud, noting that the state had permitted multiple centers in the past.

“The State’s own approval of counties using satellite ballot return centers on Election Day belies their assertion that those same ballot return centers present ballot security concerns,” he wrote.

independent study concluded that 97% of the tax increase under Biden's plan would be paid by the top




An independent study concluded that 97% of the tax increase under Biden's plan would be paid by the top 1% and that there will be no tax increase for the bottom 90%. And it would raise up to $3.7 trillion over 10 years. This is how a tax proposal should look.

Who is paying the tariffs on China

#LiarinChief




Who is paying the tariffs on China



Trump again claimed that China paid the $28 billion in tariff revenue he then distributed to farmers.
Facts First: This money wasn't from China. Study after study has found that Americans are bearing the cost of Trump's tariffs on imported Chinese products. And American importers, not Chinese exporters, make the actual tariff payments to the US government.

Pelosi pushes new bill to determine whether a President is capable of serving

Source: CNN







Updated 12:12 PM ET, Fri October 9, 2020.


(CNN)House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to say Friday whether extraordinary constitutional measures should be invoked to remove President Donald Trump from office, saying, "that's not for us to decide," even as she throws her weight behind a new bill to give Congress a role in determining whether the President of the United States must be forced out of office because he's incapable of doing his job.

The move, which comes after Trump's recent coronavirus diagnosis, would establish a process to effectively give Congress a say in removing a president from office under the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, which allows for a president to be removed from office if a majority of Cabinet members and the vice president consider him unable to carry out his duties. Section four of the 25th Amendment also says that if a majority of a body established by law, along with the vice president, declare in writing that if the president is disabled and unable to do his job, the vice president immediately becomes the acting president.

The bill, Democrats say, will create that body to help determine the fitness of the President. The proposal was formally introduced Friday by Pelosi and Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland. At a news conference announcing the measure, Pelosi insisted that the legislation would apply to future presidents, rather than Trump, but argued that his recent health challenges underscore the need for such a process.

"This is not about President Trump. He will face the judgment of the voters, but he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents," Pelosi said, later adding, "This legislation applies to future presidents, but we are reminded of the necessity of action by the health of the current president."


The measure stands virtually no chance of becoming law. But it is designed to heighten the attention on Trump's condition after his doctors have provided limited information about his recovery from coronavirus. ...................
