45th President of the United States, Donald Trump (Vol. 10)
Discussion
trumps narcism continues, and he's continuing his petty revenge against those he thinks don't support him, at the expense of the GOP
President Trump privately told donors this past week that it will be “very tough” for Republicans to keep control of the Senate in the upcoming election because some of the party’s senators are candidates he cannot support.
“I think the Senate is tough actually. The Senate is very tough,” Trump said at a fundraiser Thursday at the Nashville Marriott, according to an attendee. “There are a couple senators I can’t really get involved in. I just can’t do it. You lose your soul if you do. I can’t help some of them. I don’t want to help some of them.”
The attendee shared the president’s words on the condition of anonymity as the event was a closed-door gathering. It was held before the last presidential debate between Trump and Democrat Joe Biden.

Republicans are on the verge of victory in their push to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, setting up a final vote for Monday with every expectation they will succeed.
A divisive drive to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court before Election Day wound on Sunday toward its expected end, as Senate Republicans overcame Democratic protests to limit debate and set up a final confirmation vote for Monday.

Limiting debate, witnesses and questioning - again. Seems a common GOP theme.
NEW - White House is working on hosting an outdoor event for a ceremonial swearing in of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court that could come late tomorrow night after her expected confirmation tomorrow by the Senate, senior administration sources tell @ABC News w/ @KFaulders

Hum an outdoor ceremony for ACB you say. I mean, what could possibly go wrong...

Very true... Nothing really subsititutes the accuracy of PCR... many of these rapid tests are in rushed development/ on the fly efficacy.. but I do think the latest Abbott data, though not peer reviewed is showing improvements to previous data you quoted.. maybe a bit (:
Also agree on the asymptomatic issue.
How about answering his questions as, like he says, you’re clearly also expert. Very true...

@COVID19Tracking
Today, the U.S. set a new record for new cases averaged over a 7-day period: 68,954. The previous high was 66,844, set on July 23.
https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1320491...
Adjusted for population, here are top 5 states of the week by:
Cases: ND, SD, WI, MT, WY
Fatalities: SD, ND, MT, KS, WI
Tests: MA, ND, RI, NY, DC
https://www.msightly.com/covid-19/details.php?docu...
45 states have reported increase in Daily Cases (7-day avg) compared to 7 days ago.
One simply cannot defend trump on his CV-19 response.
Denial and delays, whilst briefing donors and senators how bad it would be. Refusing aid to Dem states he thought slighted him, refusing to deal on a second bailout package, so citizens got $1200 whilst trump donors got millions and we still don't know where a lot of the money went. Superspreader rallies, so longs as the crown images looked good for trumps ego, ignoring all advice and guidance, then tying to cover up infections...

Great referenced used, on how the WH using Giuliani tried to manufacture and replicate the Comey moment from 2016
Christopher Ingraham

This incredible story describes how, as the Trump White House was trying to lure the WSJ to report on the purported Hunter Biden emails, Rudy Giuliani went full-on Leeroy Jenkins and dumped everything on the NY Post.
By early October, even people inside the White House believed President Trump’s re-election campaign needed a desperate rescue mission. So three men allied with the president gathered at a house in McLean, Va., to launch one.
The host was Arthur Schwartz, a New York public relations man close to President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Jr. The guests were a White House lawyer, Eric Herschmann, and a former deputy White House counsel, Stefan Passantino, according to two people familiar with the meeting.
Mr. Herschmann knew the subject matter they were there to discuss. He had represented Mr. Trump during the impeachment trial early this year, and he tried to deflect allegations against the president in part by pointing to Hunter Biden’s work in Ukraine. More recently, he has been working on the White House payroll with a hazy portfolio, listed as “a senior adviser to the president,” and remains close to Jared Kushner.
The three had pinned their hopes for re-electing the president on a fourth guest, a straight-shooting Wall Street Journal White House reporter named Michael Bender. They delivered the goods to him there: a cache of emails detailing Hunter Biden’s business activities, and, on speaker phone, a former business partner of Hunter Biden’s named Tony Bobulinski. Mr. Bobulinski was willing to go on the record in The Journal with an explosive claim: that Joe Biden, the former vice president, had been aware of, and profited from, his son’s activities. The Trump team left believing that The Journal would blow the thing open and their excitement was conveyed to the president.
As the Trump team waited with excited anticipation for a Journal exposé, the newspaper did its due diligence: Mr. Bender and Mr. Beckett handed the story off to a well-regarded China correspondent, James Areddy, and a Capitol Hill reporter who had followed the Hunter Biden story, Andrew Duehren. Mr. Areddy interviewed Mr. Bobulinski. They began drafting an article.
Then things got messy. Without warning his notional allies, Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor and now a lawyer for President Trump, burst onto the scene with the tabloid version of the McLean crew’s carefully laid plot. Mr. Giuliani delivered a cache of documents of questionable provenance — but containing some of the same emails — to The New York Post, a sister publication to The Journal in Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. Mr. Giuliani had been working with the former Trump aide Steve Bannon, who also began leaking some of the emails to favored right-wing outlets. Mr. Giuliani’s complicated claim that the emails came from a laptop Hunter Biden had abandoned, and his refusal to let some reporters examine the laptop, cast a pall over the story — as did The Post’s reporting, which alleged but could not prove that Joe Biden had been involved in his son’s activities.

Ok, so actually you agree on my original point that this test is a poor test for use by the Whitehouse staff, and this whole effort on your part has been a complete waste of time. Could have saved yourself some time.
I love it when Trumpettes snidely try and gain some imaginary intellectual and moral superiority by saying stuff like this:-
