Pence is avoidant with some of the questions while Kamala stating opinions as if they were fact.

Pence needs to be careful when interrupting Kamala as dems will use the white man vs black woman, patriarchy, feminist argument.

Moderator doing better but her questions to Kamala are soft so far.

This is incorrect 100%

Pence already has his followers and K does not .

Biden is 77 years old and K has roots in the Caribbean .

Hence , Trump will win in the coming election .

Damn, someone tell Pence about the fly on his head, nuh?

Reports released today suggest that more than 4 million Americans have already voted, which is 50 times the amount who had voted at this point in 2016. Michael McDonald of the University of Florida suggested current voting rates could lead to a record turnout of about 150 million, representing 65% of eligible voters, the highest rate since 1908. Online bookmakers in the UK are less confident than McDonald on the turnout, however, they do currently have over 60% as the betting favorite, which would be the highest since the 1968 US election.

Early in-person voting starts in some states about 1-1/2 months before an election. The total could be both.

clearly voter fraud
Gotta admire the donald's strategy
Ingrain the idea that mail-in voting will lead to massive fraud, so if he loses, he can say 'see? what did I tell ya? Look at the result massive fraud that came out of mail-in votes'

Militia group plotted to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, feds say

LANSING — The federal government has charged six people with conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in an alleged domestic terrorist plot, according to newly unsealed court records.

Seven others face state charges, brought by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. All 13 are in custody, officials said.

Members of a militia group purchased weapons, conducted surveillance, and held training and planning meetings, but were foiled in part because the FBI was able to infiltrate the group with informants, according to charges officials planned to detail Thursday.

Plans included kidnapping Whitmer and putting her on trial for treason, officials allege.

The group met for field exercises and training this year and conducted surveillance of the governor's vacation home on at least two occasions in late August and September, the affidavit alleges. They also purchased a high-voltage Taser and night goggles for use in the kidnapping plot, according to court records. Members of the plot said they wanted to complete the kidnapping before the Nov. 3 election, according to the affidavit.

Trump's COVID drug was developed using aborted fetal tissue

Kate Smith
1 hr ago

The antibody cocktail that President Trump received for his COVID-19 infection and touted on Wednesday evening as a "cure" for the deadly virus was developed using cells derived from aborted fetal tissue, a practice the White House and anti-abortion rights groups oppose.

Last week, Mr. Trump received Regeneron Pharmaceuticals' cocktail of monoclonal antibodies, an experimental therapeutic for coronavirus that is still undergoing testing and is not FDA approved. In a nearly five-minute video posted to Twitter on Wednesday, the president lauded its effects, calling it "the key."

"I think this was a blessing from God that I caught [the virus], I think it was a blessing in disguise," Mr. Trump said in the video. "I caught it, I heard about this drug, I said, 'Let me take it' … and it was incredible the way it worked."

Have to admit, this one got me legit concerned. When the "radical left, BLM, ANTIFA" criers evaporate from the ched, you know things rough.

It looks like if Trump loses, there will be some kind of retaliation from those militia groups supporting Trump. Peaceful transition of power is an alien concept to these people. This is what irresponsible rhetoric and poor leadership encourages.... for all those who still think it was just entertainment?

Can't interrupt your opponent if you can be muted remotely?

Trump knows going toe to toe with Biden, or anyone with more basic knowledge of policy, history, legislation, facts, is never a good idea.

And now he's calling for Barr to indict Obama, Biden and Hillary? The hell going on?

Not sure if it's just the Covid meds talking?

Can't be worse than the retaliation from the 'peaceful protesters' we've seen over the past months who razed and looted everything that wasn't nailed down. Or when the NFAC's Grand master J proceeded to say they're all highly trained shooters who wants the state of Texas. These are the same idiots who have had numerous black people shoot themselves due to poor firearm's handling. Don't even let me start on those clowns in CHAZ who called to defund the police, accidentally shot a bunch of black folk over the course of their short lived existence and then called the same cops for help. But CNN won't show you that. The liberal media will be quick to label Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist but fail to point out that it was three , get this WHITE folks he shot after a dangerous mob tried to kill him for putting out a fire they started. You won't hear about the founder of blue line bears, a 14 year old makes bears for children of fallen cop's children using their uniform having received death threats after Floyd got killed.
There are dangerous extremists on both sides but it should be clear as day that these left wing groups are by far more dangerous and the most racist bunch of people who claim to be against racism. Ever see how they treat black Trump supporters? And based on the number of black folk accidentally killed or shot by these same groups I think they have far greater to fear from wannabe militias on the left as opposed to the real ones on the right

The Escalating Terrorism Problem in the United States

CSIS Briefs

June 17, 2020



The United States faces a growing terrorism problem that will likely worsen over the next year. Based on a CSIS data set of terrorist incidents, the most significant threat likely comes from white supremacists, though anarchists and religious extremists inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaeda could present a potential threat as well. Over the rest of 2020, the terrorist threat in the United States will likely rise based on several factors, including the November 2020 presidential election.

This analysis makes several arguments. First, far-right terrorism has significantly outpaced terrorism from other types of perpetrators, including from far-left networks and individuals inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Right-wing attacks and plots account for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994, and the total number of right-wing attacks and plots has grown significantly during the past six years. Right-wing extremists perpetrated two thirds of the attacks and plots in the United States in 2019 and over 90 percent between January 1 and May 8, 2020. Second, terrorism in the United States will likely increase over the next year in response to several factors. One of the most concerning is the 2020 U.S. presidential election, before and after which extremists may resort to violence, depending on the outcome of the election. Far-right and far-left networks have used violence against each other at protests, raising the possibility of escalating violence during the election period.

The rest of this brief is divided into the following sections. The first defines terrorism and its main types. The second section analyzes terrorism trends in the United States since 1994. The third examines far-right, far-left, and religious networks. The fourth section highlights the terrorism threat over the next year.

You sure? Not having the least bit of curiosity to go do some basic research and just jumpin' out with "CNN bad!" bogeyman talk, just might be worse. Wasn't even sure if to reply to this post, because ah starting to feel like I'm in a perpetual argument with time travellers from 2016.

So you're saying violence by organized right wing militias, intent on ignoring the election results (if Biden wins) and a democratic/peaceful transfer of power and basically staging a coup is on par, and somehow more damaging to the left, even given ALL the facts we now have about the protests, marches, demonstrations and surrounding violence? And notice the word "all" eh?

Also, NFAC is not affiliated with BLM in any way... even it's leader distances himself from them. So not sure of the relevance here? What? Picking cherries because "scary minorities with guns?" What said you, when armed right-wing, Anti Covid safety-measure, activists, stormed a state building in Michigan ? One "activist" even had an AT4 rocket launcher. Where was all the concern? A collection of idiots that arm themselves and make ridiculous statements and demands on camera, isn't a coordinated organized militia, or movement. The story was covered by CNN, by the way.

And how do I always seem to attract "lurkers" who suddenly get triggered by my comments? Talent, or curse?

Pelosi pushes new bill to determine whether Trump is capable of serving as President
CNN Digital Expansion DC Manu RajuCNN Digital Expansion 2018, Caroline Kelly
By Manu Raju and Caroline Kelly, CNN

Updated 0305 GMT (1105 HKT) October 9, 2020

(CNN)House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, alarmed by President Donald Trump's erratic behavior in recent days, is putting her weight behind a bill to give Congress a role in determining whether the President of the United States must be forced out of office because he's incapable of doing his job.

The move, in response to Trump's conduct in the days after testing positive for the coronavirus, would establish a process to effectively give Congress a say in removing a president from office under the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, which allows for a president to be removed from office if a majority of Cabinet members and the vice president consider him unable to carry out his duties. Section four of the 25th Amendment also says that if a majority of a body established by law, along with the vice president, declare in writing that if the president is disabled and unable to do his job, the vice president immediately becomes the acting president.
The bill, Democrats say, will create that body to help determine the fitness of the president. The proposal, which will be introduced Friday by Pelosi and Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, will create a body designed to "help ensure effective and uninterrupted leadership in the highest office in the Executive Branch of government," according to Pelosi's office.
The measure stands virtually no chance of becoming law. But it is designed to heighten the attention on Trump's condition after his doctors have provided limited information about his recovery from coronavirus.
Pelosi teased the plan at a news conference Thursday, saying she would speak about the 25h Amendment issue on Friday. And in a series of recent comments, Pelosi questioned whether Trump can do his job given his drug regimen, including the use of a steroid.
On Thursday, she said that Trump appears to be "in an altered state right now" and told Bloomberg TV that "there may be some impairment of judgment."
Asked if she has questions about the President's capability to serve in the office right now, Pelosi said, "What I said about the President was that we don't know if somebody who -- I've not said this, I've quoted others to say there are those who say that when you're on steroids and/or if you have Covid-19 or both that there may be some impairment of judgment, but again that's for the doctors and the scientists to determine."
The comments prompted an angry retort from Trump, who retweeted several messages suggesting that Pelosi is trying to mount a coup. Trump ultimately responded to Pelosi: "Crazy Nancy is the one who should be under observation. They don't call her Crazy for nothing!"
Trump puts his own spin on his health as doctors reveal little
Trump puts his own spin on his health as doctors reveal little
The new bill appears to be based on what Raskin -- a constitutional law scholar -- has proposed in the past. A previous bill of his looked to establish a bipartisan commission that would -- at the direction of Congress -- carry out a medical examination of the President to determine whether he is "mentally or physically unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office."
Under that plan, the 11-member commission would be appointed by leaders of the House and Senate in both parties. The commission in his past bill would be required to report its findings to Congress.
Trump's health has been shrouded in mystery as several of his actions have drawn criticism for flouting precautions to prevent additional West Wing infections, and it remains publicly unknown when Trump last tested negative test before testing positive.
Calling into Fox Business on Thursday from the White House residence, where he continues taking a steroid as part of his Covid treatment, Trump's voice sounded husky over the phone. White House communications director Alyssa Farah on Thursday again refused to tell reporters the date of the President's last negative test before a positive for coronavirus occurred, citing Trump's "private medical history."
After he tested positive for the virus twice last Thursday and announced his positive status early Friday morning, Trump's condition appeared serious. Later Friday, Trump's doctor said that he had a high fever and received supplementary oxygen as well as the antibody cocktail from the biotechnology company Regeneron, ultimately being transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for three days for monitoring.
But he did not always comply with the social distancing and mask wearing guidelines that experts say is essential to minimizing the disease's spread. Trump left the hospital on Sunday to ride in an SUV with his security detail past supporters cheering him on outside Walter Reed. And in a dramatic return to the White House on Monday, Trump peeled off his mask to pose in salute as his helicopter departed before walking inside.
"Don't be afraid of Covid. Don't let it dominate your life," Trump wrote several hours before walking carefully out of the hospital's gold front doors, even as his doctors warned he wasn't yet "out of the woods."
