    Trump isn't likely to pepper spray his supporters to clear the way for voters.

    The 'law-and-order' Trump is more likely to say that his supporters were poll watchers making sure that everything was done fairly. He might even encourage vigilantes like Rittenhouse to show up with an AR-15 to protect his 'law-abiding' supporters.

    After Trump won the 2016 election, he whined about Hillary for another couple months as if he had lost the election. He's still claiming she stole 3 million votes from him.

    He's a sore winner when he wins. Consider what will happen if he loses.

    Caputo is on a leave of absence, apparently for mental problems.

    Alexander is gone also.

    Two rotten eggs.



    Emails Detail Effort to Silence CDC and Question Its Science

    Emails Detail Effort to Silence CDC and Question Its Science

    excerpt:

    "Alexander’s point-by-point assessment, broken into seven parts and forwarded by Caputo to Dr. Robert Redfield, the CDC director, was one of several emails obtained by The New York Times that illustrate how Caputo and Alexander attempted to browbeat career officials at the CDC at the height of the pandemic, challenging the science behind their public statements and attempting to silence agency staff.

    On Friday, two days after Caputo went on medical leave and Alexander was dismissed from the Health and Human Services Department, the CDC reversed a heavily criticized recommendation suggesting that people who have had close contact with a person infected with the coronavirus do not need to get tested if they have no symptoms. The emails shed light on the monthslong fight that led to their departures."

    Trump shifts on Puerto Rico, releases aid as election nears

    Trump shifts on Puerto Rico, releases aid as election nears

    excerpt:

    "Asked why the aid was coming now, less than 50 days before the election, Trump insisted his administration had been working on getting it done but it was held up by Democrats in Congress. In fact, they approved the funding and pushed for its release.

    Rep. Nydia M. Velazquez, a New York Democrat, took note of the timing of Trump’s assistance so close to the election.

    “The Trump Administration delayed, dragged its feet and resisted allocating these badly needed funds,” said Velazquez, who was born in Puerto Rico. “Now, forty-six days before the election, the administration has finally seen fit to release these funds.”

    Trump in the past has opposed providing additional aid to Puerto Rico, arguing it had received too much already and expressing concern that the money would be wasted or misspent."

    Trump would prefer the vacancy filled before the election in the event he contests the result and appeals to the Supreme Court..



    Everything at stake in the upcoming Supreme Court battle

    Everything at stake in the upcoming Supreme Court battle

    excerpt:

    "The Affordable Care Act could soon be repealed

    “The last time the Supreme Court considered the constitutionality of Obamacare, it affirmed it 5 to 4. This time, without Ginsburg, the outcome will be much less certain.” — Al Tompkins, Tampa Bay Times

    A disputed election could lead to a constitutional crisis

    “And imagine the horror should the presidential election result in a dispute, Bush v. Gore-style, that goes to the Supreme Court, with a brand-new justice, confirmed under these circumstances, casting the tiebreaking vote. It’s hard to say that American democracy could recover.” — Joshua A. Douglas, CNN"

    US election: Data guru Bela Stantic reveals Donald Trump is on track to win again

    A data scientist who correctly predicted Donald Trump’s shock victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016 says the US President is currently on track to win again.

    Professor Bela Stantic is the founder and director of Griffith University’s Big Data and Smart Analytics Lab, where he analyses social media data and sentiment to predict voters’ behaviour.

    In the past, those predictions have been extraordinarily accurate.

    Granted his prognostications have been pretty accurate in the past, but let’s take a closer look at the man….

    He believes he led past lives as an egyptian pharaoh, a roman general, and as a lion who to this day deeply regrets having eaten several christians during 1st century Rome, He once co-trance channeled the Babylonian God Ramtha with J Z Knight, and was told Donald Trump would win re-election by Orthon, a deity who lives on Mars whom he believes is the re-incarnation of Jesus Christ - only believers in Orthon can hear his telepathic message.

    How Democrats Could Pack the Supreme Court in 2021
    Their base is already calling for a radical next move. Would they do it?
    By JEFF GREENFIELD

    How Democrats Could Pack the Supreme Court in 2021

    excerpt:

    "As FDR’s scheme showed, court-packing doesn’t have to be as simple as just elevating additional justices to the court. There are several alternatives that have been debated in legal and academic circles: They range from giving each political party five justices, who would then choose five more; to limiting the terms of judges so that every president gets two picks; to making all 180 federal appeals court judges members of the court, with panels of nine chosen at random to rule on all matters, including which cases the court would take up. (This change would require only legislation; proposals for limiting the terms of justices would require amending the Constitution.)

    They all have the quality of careful thought and the nonexistent possibility that any of them becomes reality in the midst of a full-blown constitutional brawl. And if Congress pushes through a restructuring of the court on a strictly partisan vote, giving Americans a Supreme Court that looks unlike anything they grew up with, and unlike the institution we’ve had for more than 240 years, it’s hard to imagine the country as a whole would see its decisions as legitimate.

    There’s a good reason that more than 80 years ago, in a time of turmoil, a Democratic president at the peak of his political power nonetheless found his plans thwarted by members of his own party, who found the cost of tinkering with constitutional machinery too high a price to pay. If McConnell calls a lame-duck session in the face of an electoral loss to lock in a conservative court majority, however, it’s hard to imagine any such concerns staying the hands of Democrats."

    How Griffith University data scientist Bela Stantic predicted the Coalition’s surprise election win
    By Sarah Cappello In Business, News
    Article By: Gavin Fernando www.News.com.au

    How a Griffith University data scientist predicted Liberal win

    excerpt:

    "Prof Stantic said there were a number of factors at play, including sample sizes, the unpredictability of mobile phones, and a fundamental difference in how upfront people choose to be on social media versus in a phone poll.

    “Firstly, my samples are much bigger,” he told news.com.au “I collected about two million relevant tweets from about half a million accounts. It’s a very big sample size from all around Australia.”

    Prof Stantic — who also successfully predicted Donald Trump’s election win and Brexit — said his research had shown 5 per cent of social media data equated to a 95 per cent accuracy, if you have enough data.

    He said the two million tweets he analysed in just a few days made up a greater representation of people than polls of 1000 people. He estimated his tweets equated to half a million people.

    He also said the shift in opinion polling from landlines to mobile phone can make for inaccuracies.

    “These polls are actually using phone lines which are not landlines anymore. People on mobile phones move around, so it’s not a clear prediction.”

    He also suggested people are more “honest” on social media or talking to their friends about their sentiments on elections, but might be more “hesitant” when it comes to a phone-based poll."

    Comment by Jeff Flake:

    "In 2016, nine months before an election, we Republicans said that the next president should fill a Supreme Court vacancy. Today, six weeks before an election, we should hold the same position. Preserving the institution of the Senate should be paramount to any political gain."
