Trump has declared aborted fetuses for everyone! They are a blessing from God! They make you feel peppy and carefree, as if the Russian mob weren’t breathing down your neck!

Mike Pence, Amy Coney Barrett, Bill Barr, Moscow Mitch, Lindsey Graham, Ron Desantis, Rudy Giuliani, and others are hitting the streets to force abortions and collect fetuses to meet the anticipated demand.

Scott Wolf has been very publicly collecting fetuses for trump’s project for a while now.

Now that Hope and Kelly Anne are beplagued by his trumpiness, who will donald make fetuses to abort with? None of the porn stars are returning his calls.

Is this all a steroid dementia reaction, or is trump preparing for a new career as the nation’s greatest promoter of abortion and fetus recycling?

Is his new slogan “fetuses, they’re great!”?

Facebook took down half of trump’s followers.

They were fake, like trump’s recovery from Covid-19.

Fetus milkshake?

Trump thinks you’ll like it.

He’s going to recommend it to his friends Rush and Jeffery, though one of them is dead and he can’t remember which one it is.

Trump is planning to hit the Villages this weekend to see if there are any of his young groupies he takes a shine to, now that he is once more feeling peppy.

If he follows through, it will be the event the irredeemably and irrevocably loses him Florida and the election.

His sickly skeleton team will fuck the event up, alienating all the locals they don’t personally infect.

Trump, poxy, drug addled, and still a dipshit, will do himself no favors.

Did republicans leave themselves enough time to flee from and disavow trump?

Quote
Biden is beating Trump among older voters in Wisconsin by 10 points and drawing about the same amount of support as Trump is with that demographic in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida and Arizona, according to the state polls conducted in mid-September and early October.

Four years ago, Trump won older voters in each of those states by 10 to 29 points.

Half of the older voters in the five battleground states blamed the high number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the country - nearly 7.6 million cases and more than 210,000 deaths - on “poor leadership and policy decisions from President Trump,” the polls show.

Reuters/Ipsos is the source of that information.

This is a Trump campaign ad.

No alterations. No additions or edits. Just unadulterated Donald Trump.

Okay, so Trump added the White House background - that's fake, but that's on him, as are his claims that (1) he got a CURE and (2) he can make sure that seniors "get the same care that I got."

Interesting poll.

Poll makes sense - based on RECENT occurrences (what happened in '15-'16)

But - Lincoln's year notwithstanding - most times Senate and WH are of same party a nomination goes through - and most times it is NOT same party controlling it DOES NOT.  29 cases overall, I believe.

Unsurprisingly, you believe wrong.

In fact, when the President is a Republican and the Senate is controlled by Democrats, the nominee has gone through, unless there were serious issues with that nominee (ie. Bork) and even sometimes when there were (ie. Thomas) 

The 29 number has to do with how many times a SCOTUS vacancy occurred during an election year.  And its wrong.

What a stupid question from Maria "And yes, you can have too much colagen injected into your lips" Bartiromo. "Do you feel that you are contagious?"

Feel?

WTF is that dingbat talking about?

And Trump says in his response, "Remember this. When you catch it, you get better. And then you're immune."

1. There are over 213K Americans who caught it and did NOT get better."

2. The immunity aspects of the virus have not been fully determined by the medical community, as of yet.


3. The Virtual Presidential Debate has taken place before; Nixon-Kennedy, 1960.

AP headline:

Scalia ‘heir’ Barrett may be open to reversing Roe v. Wade

MAY BE?
It's part of her life's work.
The Kingdom of God and her cult church demand it.
Seriously, this is intrinsic to her view of God, religion and what is right.

100% ACB is not just open but willing to vote for the death of Roe v. Wade.
That doesn't mean she'll go it on her first abortion related case, but it sure won't take long before a case comes through and she joins Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and at least one of Kavanaugh/Roberts in overturning Roe.  Most likely both, as a 5-4 reversal of a key precedent would look unseemly.  So as long as Kav is on board, Roberts will likely join too.  It'd get Roberts a more credible 6-3 reversal while more importantly allowing Roberts to assign the opinion or write it himself.  My money is on Kavanaugh.

What SCt watchers should be investigating is prior cases to see what's the most likely rationale to overturn Roe that 6 justices will go with, though you could get concurring opinions and a split among the majority.  Also, they might just shop it down to 1st term initially and then overturn later, but my guess is they'll go whole hog within 2-3 years of Barrett being on there.  Hopefully privacy rights won't take a significant hit.
