2 retired 4-star officers who served under Trump endorse Biden


https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/24/four-star-officers-endorse-biden-420953

Two recently retired four-star officers who served under President Donald Trump have joined a group of nearly 500 national security leaders in endorsing Joe Biden and condemning the commander in chief they served.

Retired Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, who was the second-highest ranking officer in the military as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff until August 2019, signed on to an open letter released Thursday by the group National Security Leaders for Biden. He is joined by retired Adm. Paul Zukunft, who was the commandant of the Coast Guard until June 2018.

Republican suing one another because of early voting period extension --- first they complain about frauds in mail-in voting, now they are not happy about early in-person voting ---- what exactly are they scared about?

Texas Republicans sue to stop Gov. Greg Abbott's extension of early voting period during the pandemic

https://www.texastribune.org/2020/09/23/texas-republicans-greg-abbott-early-voting/

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is facing a lawsuit over his extension of early voting for the November election from prominent members of his own party — including state party Chair Allen West, Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller and members of the Texas Legislature.

In July, Abbott added six days to the early voting period, moving the start date up to Oct. 13 from Oct. 19, citing the coronavirus pandemic. In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday with the state Supreme Court, Abbott's intraparty critics say the move defied election law that requires early voting to start on the 17th day before the election.

It is the latest legal challenge to Abbott's emergency powers, which he has wielded aggressively in dealing with the pandemic.

It is the constitutional duty of POTUS to NOMINATE a Supreme Court Justice anytime there is vacancy.
Note - I did not say "appoint" or "install" I said NOMINATE.

So all this talk of Trump packing the Supreme Court, only displays ignorance of the US constitution.
Trump openly says he wants to nominate SCJ replacement before the elections so SCOTUS, in case he has to challenge the mail-in votes

#Trumpcoupplot is trending on twitter.

Have you read the atlantic report that says Trump is trying to get faithless electors to bypass the results of their state and vote for him

Trump said in his press conference that he will not commit to a peaceful transfer of power and the ballots should be gotten rid of of.

The information is on the atlantic,vanity fair etc and it is on the tag #Trumpcoupplot.

I don't think Trump will accept victory.I read the FBI on tuesday said some disinformation actors will try to spread fake results before the real results are certified it is all Trump's plan to claim false victory on election night he knows he will lose.
Why is Trump so determined to forcefully remain in office and yet most of the GOP people are silent about this statement

But regardless, Trump's power to remain in office ceases on Jan 21, 2021 at 11.59am, because by 12.01pm another person has to be sworn in according to the constitution of the U.S.

Another October Suprise - The president's son (Eric Trump) must be deposed by Oct. 7.

Judge denies Eric Trump's request to delay deposition until after election

https://abcnews.go.com/US/york-attorney-generals-office-personal-inconvenience-delay-eric/story?id=73195945&cid=social_twitter_abcnp

Judge Arthur Engoron has ordered President Donald Trump's son to appear for a deposition by Oct. 7, denying Eric Trump's request to wait until after the election.

Engoron said the argument to delay providing testimony was "unpersuasive" because "neither the petitioner nor this court is bound by timelines of the national election."

The New York Attorney General's Office on Wednesday had sought to compel testimony from Eric Trump as part of an investigation into whether the Trump Organization improperly inflated certain assets to obtain tax benefits it otherwise would not have been entitled to receive.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York judge on Wednesday ordered President Donald Trump’s son Eric to make himself available by Oct. 7 to be interviewed under oath for a state probe into financing for properties owned by his family’s company.

Justice Arthur Engoron of the Manhattan Supreme Court said Eric Trump, an executive vice president at the Trump Organization, offered no grounds to delay his deposition by the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James until after the Nov. 3 presidential election.

At a hearing, Engoron said Trump’s argument that he was too busy working on his father’s re-election bid was unpersuasive, and said he was not “bound by the timelines of the national election.”

Lawyers for Eric Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Engoron also ordered the Trump Organization to turn over some financial documents James sought. James has been conducting a civil probe into “potential fraud or illegality” concerning whether Donald Trump and the Trump Organization overstated the value of assets to obtain loans and tax benefits.

Wells Fargo & Co Chief Executive Charles Scharf exasperated some Black employees in a Zoom meeting this summer when he reiterated that the bank had trouble reaching diversity goals because there was not enough qualified minority talent, two participants told Reuters.

He also made the assertion in a company-wide memo June 18 that announced diversity initiatives as nationwide protests broke out following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed African-American man, in police custody.

"While it might sound like an excuse, the unfortunate reality is that there is a very limited pool of black talent to recruit from," Scharf said in the memo, seen by Reuters.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Cindy Mccain Endorses Biden For President In Rebuke Of Trump by feedthenation(m): 1:32pm On Sep 23, 2020
Denwil:
Cindy McCain endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president Tuesday in a rebuke of President Donald Trump by the widow of the GOP's 2008 nominee.

Trump has had a fraught relationship with members of John McCain's family since he disparaged the Arizona senator during his 2016 campaign. But the McCains have until now stopped short of endorsing Trump's rivals.

Cindy McCain cited the decadeslong friendship between her family and Biden's and their bond as the parents of children serving in the military.


“He supports the troops and knows what it means for someone who has served,” McCain said in a phone interview. “Not only to love someone who has served, but understands what it means to send a child into combat. We’ve been great friends for many years, but we have a common thread in that we are Blue Star families.”

McCain's backing could help Biden appeal to Republicans disaffected with the GOP president and give the former vice president a boost in Arizona, a crucial swing state that McCain represented in Congress for 35 years. He's remained a revered figure since his 2018 death from complications of a brain tumor, particularly with the independent voters whom Biden is courting.

“I decided to take a stand, and hopefully other people will see the same thing. Other women particularly," McCain said. “You may have to step out of your comfort zone a little bit, but Biden is by far the best candidate in the race."


McCain said she hasn't voted for a Democrat since she was 18 and followed the lead of her parents. She remains a registered Republican and has no plans to change, she said.

Biden told donors on Tuesday evening that McCain’s endorsement was coming “because of what (Trump) talks about how my son and John and others who are heroes, who served their country. You know, he said they’re ‘losers, suckers.’”

Biden was referring to comments Trump reportedly made mocking the American war dead. Trump has denied making the remarks, first reported through anonymous sources by The Atlantic, but many of the comments were later confirmed by The Associated Press.

Cindy McCain had not initially been expected to offer an explicit endorsement of Biden, but she had already gone to bat for his presidential run. She lent her voice to a video that aired during the Democratic National Convention and was focused on Biden’s close friendship with her late husband.

John McCain was assigned to be a military aide for Biden, then a senator, during an overseas trip, and their families formed an enduring friendship. Biden and his wife introduced the McCains to each other,

They later shared a grim bond over glioblastoma, an aggressive cancer that killed Biden's son Beau three years before McCain succumbed to the same disease.

John McCain said in 2016 that he couldn’t support Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016, citing Trump's demeaning comments about women.

“It’s not pleasant for me to renounce the nominee of my party,” McCain said during a debate as he sought his sixth term in the Senate. “He won the nomination fair and square.”

A Navy pilot, John McCain was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967. He was captured, beaten and held prisoner for more than five years, refusing to be released ahead of other American servicemembers.

During his 2016 campaign, Trump said of McCain, “He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” McCain later angered Trump with his dramatic thumbs-down vote against repealing Obama’s health care law.

The McCains’ daughter Meghan McCain has been outspoken about the pain she feels when the president disparages her father. Biden consoled Meghan McCain on an appearance on “The View” after her father was diagnosed with the cancer that eventually took his life. She has said Biden often reaches out to her to offer support, after losing his own son Beau to the same cancer in 2015.

Trump wasn’t invited to John McCain’s funeral.
