Trump, Rethugs Look To Decimate Aid Bill. Seek to double down on stuff people hate. Mike Pompeo: Even Sleazier Than We Knew. No wonder Pompeo fired the IG post-haste. Trump's…
TRUMP: You don’t know until you see. It depends. I think mail-in voting is going to rig the election. I really do. WALLACE: Are you suggesting that you might not accept the results of the election? TRUMP: No. I have to see. Look, Hillary Clinton asked me the same thing. WALLACE: No, I asked you the same thing at the debate. TRUMP: What I'm saying is that I will tell you at the time. I'll keep you in suspense. OK?BIDEN: The American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.
They’re absolutely determined to eliminate single family zoning, to destroy the value of houses and communities already built, just as they have in Minneapolis and other locations that you read about today. Your home will go down in value and crime rates will rapidly rise. Joe Biden and his bosses from the radical left, want to significantly multiply what they’re doing now. And what will be the end result is you will totally destroy the beautiful suburbs. Suburbia will be no longer as we know it. So they want to defund and abolish your police and law enforcement, while at same time destroying our great suburbs.
COONS: So top causes (of Senate polarization). We don't live together. So we travel back and forth to our home states every week. For Delaware, I've traveled back and forth to my home state almost every day, so I'm an exception. But for most of the Senate, listening to Joe Biden, my predecessor, and asking him how he and John McCain, for example, built a working friendship over decades, everyone would come in on Monday and stay until Friday, and often move their families here and often live here for long periods of time.Senators need to live, love and pray together so Democrats can learn how to compromise better. Coons is very committed to this idea. Get a load of this...
...And when I got back, I made a point of going up to several, relatively, new senators who I overlap with on a committee, an area of interest, an area of background, but where we don't really know each other that well. And I said, bluntly, I want to come get to know you. I want to come to your state. I want to come to your home. I welcome you to mine. I'd like to go to worship together. I'd like to give a speech together. I'd like to find a way to legislate together. Because if there aren't people I can work with, there is really no point in my being here, first.They need to eat their Republican Sandwiches and pray together. That's the ticket! That was from September 2018. Coons' heroic GOP ass-kissing campaign has yet to bear any fruit.
