Trump Loses It Over Fauci. That bleeping Fauci. Doesn’t he realize that people are sick of the coronavirus?
Supreme Court Permits Counting Pa. Mail-In Ballots Received After Election Day. 4-4 vote allowed lower court ruling to stand. A soon-to-be-rare victory.
Krugman: Biden Must Spend Big. Deficits be damned.
The Ad Race Is Over. Trump Lost. To paraphrase ex-Iggles coach Rich Kotite, don’t ‘leave anything in the locker room’.
Mute Trump? Debate Commission to mute microphones during 2-minute statements. Will he show up? Will he stomp off the stage at some point? After all, he doesn’t like the moderator, doesn’t like the rules, doesn’t even like the topics. For a self-styled tough guy, he’s a big crybaby.
Biden Considering Rethugs For Cabinet? Could just be the chattering class, but the names, um, don’t fill me with confidence. Jee-zus, these bleeping ‘centrists’…

Trump Stomps Out Of 60 Minutes Interview:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/20/politics/trump-interview-60-minutes/index.html
These interviewers are so UNFAIR. BTW, I doubt that he makes it through the debate.
It’s hard to argue that the 2-minute muting rule isn’t a good thing, but honestly that’s… literally 12 minutes out of a 90 minute debate.
Somebody go back and count the interruptions from three weeks ago. I’m sure that 80-90% were during the follow-up questions and back-and-forth after the initial statements from each categorical intro. This really isn’t going to do a whole lot. It will still be a dumpster fire, albeit one sprayed with an extinguisher every 15 minutes.
