Thursday, October 29, 2020

And another day of signaling he won’t accept an election loss, bets against science, a fake person, a new American flag, a Steven Miller second-term immigration blitz, and the fact that this election is really between Donald Trump and democracy comes to a close. Yes, in your heart you know this election is different. Which side of history are you going to be on? Vote.

World: 45,320,581 (+571,736)


Countdown: 5 days.


Trump has signaled he won't accept an election loss. Many of his voters agree. Brandishing faulty or unsubstantiated claims of fraudulent ballots, the president has planted seeds of doubt about the race's outcome if Biden wins. They appear to have taken root. -- It’s a cult.


Americans plan widespread protests if Trump interferes with election.


New audio tapes show how Trump bet against science. Dark warnings by scientists and new data showing a nationwide explosion in a virus Trump says is going away, crashing stock markets and real-time examples of the White House's delusions about its failed response are consuming the President as tens of millions of early voters cast judgment.


How a fake persona laid the groundwork for a Hunter Biden conspiracy deluge. A 64-page document that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm."


Trump is replacing the American flag.

At least 2 Pennsylvania counties won't count mail ballots until after Election Day.


Fact check: President Trump and his campaign have leaned in heavily on a misleading video to claim Joe Biden is not fit for office. Donald Trump and his campaign have leaned in heavily on a video that misleadingly suggests Democratic nominee Joe Biden doesn't know who he is running against. The Trump campaign has posted the video to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube -- where it has racked up millions of views. None of the companies are taking any action against the video. By Wednesday morning, the video had received almost 2 million views and had been retweeted at least 9,700 times. The President is also playing the video at his rallies throughout the country this week, using it as a way to claim that Biden is not mentally fit for office. -- There is no low for Trump. He will always find a way to go lower.


Trump aide Stephen Miller preparing second-term immigration blitz. The hardline adviser is said to be ready to unleash executive orders deemed too extreme for a president seeking re-election. Those items are expected to include attempting to eliminate birthright citizenship, making the US citizenship test more difficult to pass, ending the program which protects people from deportation when there is a crisis in their country (Temporary Protected Status) and slashing refugee admissions even further, to zero.


The federal agency that cares for migrant children was not told the Trump administration was intentionally separating parents and children at the border, even after an official asked why there was a surge in unaccompanied minors requiring care.


Report: US knew of problems family separation would cause. Months before the Trump administration separated thousands of families at the U.S.-Mexico border, a “pilot program” in Texas left child-welfare officials scrambling to find empty beds for babies taken from their parents in a preview of bigger problems to come, according to a report released Thursday by congressional Democrats. -- The cruelty was the point.


With thousands of supporters crammed together — masks optional and social distancing frowned upon — President Trump's rallies are among the nation’s biggest events being held in defiance of crowd restrictions designed to stop the virus from spreading. -- He thinks he’s king.


How does the coronavirus affect the heart? Doctors say the coronavirus can infect the heart muscle and cause other problems that can lead to heart damage.


Obamacare gave health coverage to millions but left million of others uninsured. Joe Biden could finish the job.


GDP rose by 33.1 percent last quarter, but blowout figure is not what it seems. “The obvious caveat is that when you drop 30 percent and gain 30 percent, you’re still below where you started.”


QAnon is Supposed to Be All About Protecting Kids. Its Primary Enabler Appears to Have Hosted Child Porn Domains.

Two people who attended Trump's North Carolina rally test positive for COVID-19.
