CNN's Erin Burnett discusses President Trump holding rallies with thousands of supports packed together with few masks despite the coronavirus pandemic and the herd immunity proposal Trump is touting.

Gallup poll

56% of Americans polled think they are in better shape than 4 years ago

From that same poll:

 His job approval for the month of September in Gallup polling is 44%. (That compares to 49% for Barack Obama in September 2012, 53% for George w. Bush in September 2004 and 60% for Bill Clinton in September 1996.) His personal favorability rating is 41% in Gallup's September data; at this time in 2012, Obama's personal favorable rating was 55%.

(And,  of course, well-being doesn't seem to guide the candidate choice in this case: Biden leads Trump 53% to 42% in CNN's poll of polls.)

I suspect some of the "in better shape" responses translate as "I survived the past four years!   And I've never been more excited about voting!   Woohoo! "

How on earth did a Kamala Harris staffer get COVID-19?

Can't they be more careful?


Oh, wait - you can get it anyway?  Ok.

China has stopped placing orders for Australian coal.

Time for retaliation by Australia.

Gee, people don't need as much coal anymore?! Go figure. Nobody could have seen that coming!

And I can see it now - you'll show them!

Tell me, again, how you punish China?!

And why! What have they done to you? Have they violated a contract or a treaty?

Or have they simply acknowledged the law of supply and demand and followed economics?

Why is your country's failure to look down the road China's fault?

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's (D) campaign announced late Wednesday that it had raised a massive $383 million in September, marking the best period for the campaign so far.

The figure, announced by Biden and his campaign manager, Jennifer O'Malley Dillon, on Twitter means that the former vice president will go into the remaining weeks of the election with $432 million in the bank, an impressive figure to fund last-minute advertising.

Silence from the Trump campaign, so far. I find myself wondering if they will even file before the election.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jobless-claims-coronavirus-unemployment-week-ended-october-10-2020-183353138.html

Highest number of new jobless claims since mid-August.

Hard to get the economy rolling with all these layoffs. A new stimulus package sure would have helped a ton of people, but Mitch says he won't do it before the election, as it would be too political... as he rams through the new Justice before the election.

Wait, you think that some GOP folks would tamper with evidence to make somebody on the Democratic side look worse?!

GASP!

By the way, did you see those Clinton emails that Pompeo released! Boy, were those something, huh?

You know it's also currently on FIRE, right?  I'd worry more on that.
