After seeing the president's actual pasty face during his staged "the president's at work" pictures, it's remarkable to think before he left the hospital he had his face made up orange.
Very cool. From the LA Times, "LONDON — Two women from different continents who happened to meet at a cafe in Puerto Rico were named winners of the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for their pioneering work on CRISPR, a gene-editing tool that gives scientists the power to change the behavior of living cells and potentially cure diseases.
UC Berkeley biochemist Jennifer A. Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier, director of the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens in Berlin, harnessed an ancient immune response found bacteria and other single-celled organisms and shaped it into an elegant pair of 'molecular scissors,' the Nobel Committee said. The tool has transformed the life sciences in just eight years."
"LIBERATE MICHIGAN!"
Well, President Trump, some of your boys heard you.
Today the President has called Sen. Harris a “monster” and a “Communist”. Today he has been critical of Bill Barr for not arresting more democrats and has been critical of Pompeo for not finding Hilary Clinton emails supposedly floating around the state department.
He has also criticized FBI director Wray for something, I think having to do with his not investigating voter fraud.
The man is totally unhinged.
You may not like Biden’s policies, but at least he is hinged.

To paraphrase a famous quip "Other than that, Mrs. Voter, how do you like the President?"
If the fly laid eggs in his hair he has to carry them to term. His rules, not ours.

Not a toss-up, despite Cook and RCP. But if it were in even a state like Georgia, he would be favored. He’s the real deal and, while unlikely, there really is a chance it will happen.

Not certain when the last time he was hinged was. But the combination of new polls and still being sick, with possible side effects of dexamethasone thrown in, make this guy seem crazier now than he has ever been. And that is saying quite a lot.
Exactly. Even less control and sanity yes. Same level of stupidity

Regular violence like the "mostly" peaceful protests? You all are a joke. So selective and hypocritical. For you...I'll refrain from copying and pasting...but Trump has condemned Neo-nazis and white nationals ad-nasuem. It is just a fake narrative being pushed forward. Maybe the governor of Michigan has over-stepped her authority. Her actions do not warrant death threats however...but she's bad.

Isnt that the point. Any violence should be condemned. Not just extreme violence. Not sure how you misread that but i am glad to see actually formulating your own words. It gets tiring reading the same exact words lifted from a small subset of websites.
The stable genius, last night on Hannity:
"California is gonna have to ration water. You wanna know why? Because they send millions of gallons of water out to sea, out to the Pacific. Because they want to take care of certain little tiny fish, that aren't doing very well without water."
"they literally want to take buildings down and rebuild them with tiny little windows. OK, little windows so you can’t see out, can’t see the light.”
Yeah, he's not impacted by the virus and his treatment for it at all. Though to be honest who could tell for sure?

Forget the cribbed notes. He does not debate. His posts, when not using racist and bigoted nicknames which parrot his hero, are not in any way debate techniques. They are so full of unproven assertions and logical fallacies they wouldn't make it past a junior high school debate club.

well, that's when he copy pastes from websites. his individual wordings at least looks more tampered because what the Drumpf says is honestly downright insane.

That's a low bar we're setting if someone only needs to be more sane than Trumpety to be considered worth engaging.

imma nice guy ;-)
Speaking of low bars, remember when all Trump had to do was get through one speech without going off on some insane tangent, and was then praised by Republicans as looking "Presidential"?
When Trump was elected in 2016, a friend of mine said to me that one thing Trump had going for him was low expectations. Well, he seems to have met the expectations.
Those Dems were quite foolish and embarrassing today at the ACB opening statements. What a shameful lot...especially Booker. That guy is a clown.

Booker and many other Democrats will soon be chairing Senate committees under a Biden government while owning the House. Then American can start to heal from the nightmare of Donnie Dickhead and his flying monkees!

Just waiting at your computer to reply...and you would be wrong. Biden can’t get ten people to show up anywhere.

Actually I'm watching the football game while tracking my email and fantasy football teams. Believe me, my life doesn't revolve around you!
As for Biden, he doesn't try to get big crowds nor does he need them. Big crowds are irrelevant as elections are decided by votes. And according to every poll for the past 6 months, Biden has lots more of those than Trump. Which is why Trump is trying to undermine the credibility of the vote, never mind the harm that does to faith American democracy and institutions. But those big rallies will suppress the Republican vote when hundreds of attendees get Covid and are too sick to vote. Or are dead.

Curious what you think Irwin, would trump be a president or a private citizen in this instance in removing a protestor?
Shouldn't this fall under 1st amendment rights?

Trump uses government funds and property to campaign. Which is illegal. But leaving that aside, he was campaigning; and noisy or disruptive protesters are thrown out of campaign rallies frequently. Including campaign rallies from sitting Presidents. When I was 16 I went to a Clinton rally (1996) and a couple of protesters were thrown out.

I don't think that the first amendment permits a person to interrupt someone who is speaking to a political gathering, nor does it prohibit a person who is in charge of a rally from ejecting an unruly protester. I suppose if it is a campaign rally then he is doing it in his capacity as a private person.
People should not be unruly. They should be the opposite. Ruly?
Are we paying for dumpsters events? Security, planes etc. Biden has to rent his own plane.

This has been the standard for many decades; it's one of the reason that it's hard for an incumbent president to lose.

Yes and no. Using the Presidential bully pulpit? Yes. Using the White House (and staff) to stage an explicit campaign event? No. Stuff in between? It is more complicated, but Trump is doing the latter.
If I were on the Senate Judiciary committee, I’d ask Judge Barrett:
Q: Was there communication between you and the White House prior to your Rose Garden introduction ceremony regarding whether you, your spouse and children would wear masks, and, if so, what was it?
She either says there was no communication, or she says there was and she’s not disclosing what it was, or she says there was communication and she was told not to wear a mask, or there was communication and she was told it was up to her.
If she says there was no communication, or that there was communication and it was left up to her, then I’d ask:
Q: So, it was your own judgment that neither you nor your family would wear masks, despite the pandemic, despite the fact that several hundred people would gather maskless in close quarters?
She’d have to say yes.
Q: What sort of level headed judgment does that show for someone who has been nominated to the S. Ct.?
If she says there was communication, but she’s not disclosing what it was, then I’d ask:
Q: If there was communication, and you were asked not to wear a mask doesn’t that suggest that you will defer to President Trump’s bidding in other respects?
Q: If there was communication, and you were asked not to wear a mask doesn’t that suggest that you will defer to President Trump’s bidding in other respects?
Q: If there was communication, couldn’t you have said to the President, “My choice for myself and my family would be to wear a mask?”
Q: You have praised the late Justice Ginsburg as a role model. Wouldn’t wearing a mask be a good role model for citizens of the US....If they see a high government official wearing a mask, wouldn’t that tell them that it is a good idea to do so?
Q: Most if not all states require parents to secure their children in motor vehicles with seat belts or appropriate child safety devices. The government requires this to protect these children.
Isn’t putting a mask on a child who is going to be at an event with a hundred or more people, not wearing masks, sitting close together, a lot like wearing a seatbelt?
But, I'm not on that committee.
Feinstein - "it's distressing not to get a straight answer." Kind of the same feeling one gets when Biden/ Harris are asked about court packing.

215,000 dead and counting and the economy in the dumpster because of Trump's incompetence, and THIS is what bothers you?
What happens with the Supreme Court will last a lot longer than Trumps/ incompetence. But way to change the topic.

We all know by now this is a little game he likes to play as the "devil's advocate." If not answering this question is balanced against all the horrors we've seen the last four years, and watching the hypocritical Repubs in the Senate, I think Biden's fine not directly answering this question at this time.
