Voter suppression is going on in Georgia https://www.google.com/amp/s/atlanta.cbslocal.com/2020/10/12/georgia-early-voting-marked-by-massive-lines/amp/ |
A 30-year-old British woman who was found carrying about 2 million pounds, or about $2.6 million, in several suitcases while traveling through a London airport could face up to 14 years in prison, The Sun reported on Friday.https://www.insider.com/british-woman-detained-for-2-million-british-pounds-in-suitcase-2020-10 |
A recent IBD poll shows that only roughly 2-3% of Americans have not made up their minds on who to vote for... The winner of the election will likely be the candidate that turns out his base the most |
PrideofLincoln1:Yes, the road to her confirmation is clear, but we still need her to answer some tough questions. Moreover, I’ll ask these additional questions “Courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life.”--Judge Amy Coney Barrett in her prepared statement to be delivered to the Senate's Committee on the Judiciary on Monday, October 12, 2020. So, Judge Barrett, does that mean that Supreme Court decisions such as: (a) Brown vs. Topeka, which ruled that "separate but equal" was unconstitutional; that black American citizens had no right to protest their apartheid existence in America and should not have been adjucated? or (b) Roe vs. Wade, which ruled that a woman had a right to an abortion? or (c) Obergefell vs. Hodges, which ruled that same-sex couples could indeed marry and be afforded the same rights and protections as "traditional" married couples? These are just three Supreme Court cases, "settled law" in the words of recently-minted Justice Brett Kavanaugh, that you would, if you could, remove legal protections from minorities, women, and the LGBTQ communities--just to name a few-- because you think that these historically aggrieved, marginalized and menaced people (by a hostile majority) had no standing to bring their cases before the law? |
Here are some questions I hope get asked of Judge Barrett: What exactly do you mean by "The Kingdom of God," and how do you perceive members of the bar building it, as you have advised graduates at Notre Dame? President Trump has stated that he wants you confirmed because he expects you to support him in suits involving the current election. Given this, why would you not recuse in any of these proceedings? You are on record opposing abortion. Do you feel that a woman's bodily autonomy is unconstitutional? Is this not a civil rights question? Do you feel that personal morality is a compelling force in making decisions that effect the lives of all people? You have said that you try to see through the eyes of those you are deciding against. What do you see through the eyes of someone who has been denied health care insurance because the protections of preexisting conditions have been stripped away with the ACA? Do you personally feel comfortable having your nomination and confirmation to the bench rushed through in the middle of election now in process? |
PrideofLincoln1:Yes!! They deserved the title, especially after going through the emotions of losing Kobe |
salford1:Funny enough, the Republicans controlled the Congress in 2015 when the Benghazi investigations were in full swing, yet that Republican congress returned exactly ZERO criminal referrals to the DOJ! At this point, a lot of Republicans are clutching at straws |
raumdeuter:I wholeheartedly agree with this. |
It’s true that Mike Pence went over his allotted time a lot, and was mansplaining a lot.. But Senator Harris stood her ground and put Pence’s feet to the fire on the Trump administration’s record. |
Update: The doctors are hoping to be able to discharge Trump from Walter Reed tomorrow. |
This EPL will be the toughest in history! We have 6-7 good teams could challenge for the title. |
Na so Everton go play Champions League next season |
Seunpaul01:FYI, a vaccine does NOT cure an illness; it only prevents you from contracting the disease. |
Trump will be working from the Walter Reed hospital Thoughts and prayers for him and the First Lady |
I hope President Trump and Melania recover from Covid |
Leno is the clear MOTM!!! |
Sevilla Chelsea Krasnodar |
Messi and Ronaldo are paired in the same UCL group for the first time!! |
The folks who see nothing wrong with Trump’s performance at the debate are the same folks who would support a stupid policy by the NYSC requiring married women to change their names to their husband’s last names |
Mintum:But when you go on and encourage a far-right group to “stand-by”, do you think he condemned White Supremacy fully?? |
obixcel:Biden has condemned the looting and violence. I don’t see how it’s reasonable to expect a non-office holder to be calling elected mayors to advise them on how to handle the violence. |
It's true what Mark Twain or whoever said: Never argue (read: debate) with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. I'm seeing people say there were two Idiots on the stage (I only saw one), so I guess it worked? I honestly don't even know how you blame Chris Wallace for this. People say he was worked in Trump's favor, but did he? It must be hard work when three people are in a room, and two people are held to standards of decorum while the third one can do whatever, and we're like: 'oh, we know how he is, but you, why would you tell a sitting president to shut up? I can't stand by that, that's disrespectful.' Well, when you lower the office of the president like this, anything goes, right? The thing Trump was clearly trying to do was trigger a fit of stuttering from Biden. That's the only reason he kept inserting words, interjecting, trying to distract Biden, and trying to interrupt his flow of thoughts. Literally impossible to debate with that kind of person without a mute function. (Which, dear Lord, please enact one by the next debate so the rest of us don't suffer). The fact that Trump had the effrontery to bring up Swine flu with COVID on his hands, shows there's no depth to which he wouldn't go. We're almost in October 2020, and he's still saying that: we're not sure how effective masks are. Still bragging about 40,000 people showing up maskless and within close proximity at his rallies. 'No one wants to come out and see you, Joe.' And I won't even talk about how he brought up Hunter's drug problem and dishonorable discharge at the same time as praising his own handling of the military and vets, at the same time as cutting off Biden when he was talking about his deceased decorated son, when he should know the mental toll it takes being a veteran and how many of them may end up struggling with PTSD, drug use, etc. I rotated at the VA as a student in ambulatory care, and almost every one I saw had either Diabetes or hypertension PLUS PTSD. Hunter may not be a saint, but let's see who is a saint out here. And oh by the way, he is NOT running for president. Biden got steamrolled because he could barely get a word in, and when he did try to talk over Trump, it was painful for the rest of us. How can we be watching a presidential debate and Trump blurts out: 'You're not smart. You graduated last or very near last in you class at Delaware.' Like huh? Are we all in the same place? Biden missed a couple of opportunities to respond to Trump, especially regarding the hundreds of judges seats left open for Trump to fill. Um, Obama nominated candidates to fill those seats, just as he did to fill Scalia's seat in the Supreme Court, and the republicans blocked it until Trump got elected. Which I won't complain about because they had the senate. You have the power, you do what you can to push forward your agenda. Fair is fair. But you can't point to that as a failure of the previous administration. That's just weird. Anyway, one thing I was glad I didn't hear was the oft repeated lie about full-term abortions. Like, Democrats want to approve full-term abortions where they rip babies out of the womb at birth and basically kill them. The fact that people believe that and hold on to that as the reason they can't support someone like Biden tells you the power of a lie. Full term abortion. Good grief. I think there will be violence at the polls. I've thought so for some time, but now I'm sure there'll be. Not everywhere, but in some places. I also think there will be tampering with mail votes. Everyone just be careful over the next few weeks. |
highflyer012020:BTW, Trump also supports gay marriage. In fact, the promotion of equal rights for LGBT people is a part of his foreign policy. |
MaziAlaye:If Trump kept to the rules he AGREED to before the debate, there would have been no need for Wallace to interrupt Trump. It’s very simple |
MaziAlaye:He’s been saying he doesn’t support “defunding the police”, long before the debate |
Moving forward, this should be the starting line up: ————————Mendy——————- —Azpi———Zouma——T. Silva——Chilwell—— ———————Kovacic—-Kante————— ————————-Barkley——————— —-—-Ziyech———Werner——Pulisic——- |
We surely need a front three of Pulisic, Werner and Ziyech for the Champions League!!! |

IJOBA2:All I see is a happy family. Who doesn’t want to have a happy family? |
Thiago Silva why ![]() |
