”Pelosi on CNN: "He wants two things: the market to go up and the checks to go out in the mail with his name on the letter. He doesn't care about food insecurity, eviction, health, the virus, of course state and local, election money, none of it. He doesn't care about any of it."
She has a point.

dt claims he has not seen Sarah Cooper but he wants too!? New York (CNN Business)Comedian Sarah Cooper has become an internet sensation with her viral lip-synched trolls of President Donald Trump's speeches and interviews. Her TikTok fame got her a gig filling in for Jimmy Kimmel earlier this month, and she has a Netflix special coming out in the fall. But the target of Cooper's ridicule hadn't been asked what he thinks of the videos ... until Sunday. In a preview of a Fox News interview that will air Sunday at 9 pm ET, host Steve Hilton asked Trump if he had seen Cooper's parody. "I have not, no," Trump said, blank-faced. "I'd like to see them. Are they good or bad?" Hilton told Trump he thought the president would find them very entertaining. "OK, good! I'd like to see them," Trump said. "If you're saying they're positive, I'd like to look. If they're not positive...."Hilton acknowledged that Cooper "doesn't mean it to be positive." "I see," Trump said. "Well, I'll have to check it out." ** www.cnn.com/2020/08/23/media/donald-trump-sara-cooper/index.html

This from trump this morning..
”So now the Democrats are using Mail Drop Box, which are a voter Security disaster. Among other things they make it possible for a person to vote multiple times. Also, who controls them, are they placed in Republican or Democrat areas? They are not Covid sanitized. A big fraud.”
Prompted twitter removing the text and stating it was “violating the Twitter rules about civic and election integrity “.
The funniest part, and yes this is pretty funny, trump is concerned about, I guess, the ballots being dropped into these boxes that are not COVID sanitized.

”Pelosi on CNN about the USPS: "Can you believe Republicans are in there saying this is a conspiracy that we all made up and the rest? Don't they listen to their constituents? My goodness."
The Republican are giving the Democrats a lot of credit in thinking they have the ability to come up with all these conspiracy theories. Just think of all the people the Democrats would have to enlist to be part of these conspiracy and if they did, how would they keep all these people quiet?

Well sure, 'cause it is ok for all of us to stand around hot,sweating. coughing etc in rooms with all the others without social distancing for hours and hours! Not like the poll officials don't have to touch all the ballots handed to them! ETA: drop boxes here, are all placed in well lighted places, under videos cameras.... Police stations/town halls, County Administration Building.. I forget the rest!

That is some dysfunctional family. If you read Mary Trump's book, you will see how totally dysfunctional the family is. Specifically, their mother's illness when the impeached Bunker Boy was 2 1/2, and how the roles of the family shifted, and of course Fred Sr. pitting the kids against each other. I have always thought that Donald was stuck emotionally and behaviorally at the toddler stage, and her analysis and explanation of the family dynamics certainly explain it all. While everyone seems to want to blame Mary as a disgruntled family member, she certainly approaches it with a clinicians view. And impeached bunker boy certainly screwed Robert over many times, despite his claims that he loved his brother.

trump is holding one of his news briefings and a lot has to do with this..
Jonathan Swan...
”According to two sources in the Monday meeting, Peter Navarro had aggressively confronted FDA officials, saying, "You are all Deep State and you need to get on Trump Time." Navarro declined to comment.”
trump...
”The deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics. Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd. Must focus on speed, and saving lives! @stevefda”
Kaitlan Collins...
”The FDA has issued an emergency use authorization for convalescent plasma for treatment of hospitalized patients. FDA says it may be effective in treating coronavirus & “the known and potential benefits of the product outweigh the known and potential risks of the product.”
“Emergency use from the FDA doesn't require the same level of evidence as full FDA approval, but can have a significant effect on demand and use of a treatment during a public health emergency.”
The fact trump is pressuring the FDA does not give me any confidence in their decisions. trump’s only goal here is to have good news about the virus before the election. Not if will actually help people without killing them.

”Note:
"Many scientists and physicians believe that convalescent plasma might provide some benefit but is far from a breakthrough."
"The evidence so far has not been conclusive about whether it works."
Ex-FDA chief says it already is widely available.”
Don’t get me wrong, I want a vaccine and I want medication that will help those who have the virus. I just don’t trust trump and his motives because he has proven over and over and over he only cares about himself.

Eric Topol is a scientist and physician who did a thread of tweets about this subject. Here are a couple from the thread..
“Today's "breakthrough" announcement is unlikely to be any breakthrough. 1. Convalescent plasma has no randomized trials. It contains many antibodies that have no neutralizing effect. If it has efficacy, it will be be relatively modest, at best.”
“5. It's even worse than this. There is no breakthrough and the @us_FDA commissioner @stevefda has caved to Trump's pressure (including yesterday's tweet) to promote it as if there was one. ”
“Outrageous to listen to @realdonaldtrump @secazar @stevefda claiming a 35% improved survival in an observational preprint study compared w/ late-treated patients. There's no evidence to support any survival benefit. 2 days ago FDA's website stated there was no evidence for an EUA”

“So, what we predicted has happened. Trump overruled the FDA and forced them to permit hospitals to use a plasma treatment that hasn’t been shown to work. You’ll recall there was news a week ago that wasn’t good for plasma. So Trump overruled them so he could announce something.”
David Axelrod...
“Tonight’s overhyped WH announcement on plasma treatment on the eve of the RNC underscores the concern.”
”This is as predictable as it is disturbing. If @realdonaldtrump fast tracks a vaccine, bypassing critical safety steps so he can announce it before the election, who will have confidence in taking it?”

While everyone seems to want to blame Mary as a disgruntled family member, she certainly approaches it with a clinicians view. Here you go! Even Donald Trump’s Mother Was Afraid That She Had Raised a MonsterWritten by Travis Gettys / Raw Story November 3, 2017 President Donald Trump’s bizarre and outlandish behavior has prompted a lot of speculation about his psychological state — and what role his parents played in shaping his peculiar personality. Trump’s own mother pondered the question herself, according to a new Politico Magazine profile that examines the president’s upbringing and relationship with his parents. “What kind of son have I created?” wondered Mary Trump in an interview from 1990, when the future president was divorcing his first wife and faced ruinous debt. Politico interviewed some of Trump’s childhood friends and business associates, as well as some psychologists, to get a sense of the relationship between him and his mother — whom the president rarely mentions. “You don’t have to be Freud or Fellini to interpret this,” said Mark Smaller, former president of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Another former president of that organization told Politico that children learn crucial traits — trust, security and a sense of reality — from a so-called “ordinary, devoted mother.” “Your mother helps you identify your feelings and develop a cognitive structure so you don’t have to act on them immediately,” said former APA president Prudence Gourguechon, “and I think it’s fair to say that the capacity for empathy develops through your maternal relationship.” Trump’s mother, who died at 88 in 2000, was a dignified but distant figure in his childhood, according to friends from that time. “When I would play with Donald, his father would be around and watch him play,” said childhood friend Mark Golding. “His mom didn’t interact in that way.” Mary Trump gave birth to five children between 1937 and 1948, and she nearly died from severe hemorrhaging and an abdominal infection after the birth of her youngest son, Robert, when Donald was a toddler. “A 2½-year-old is going through a process of becoming more autonomous, a little bit more independent from the mother,” Smaller told Politico. “If there is a disruption or a rupture in the connection, it would have had an impact on the sense of self, the sense of security, the sense of confidence.” Trump’s mother was forced to withdraw from family life as she recovered from the infection and four emergency surgeries, and one expert said that experience could have made a crucial impact on the future president. “From a child’s perspective, they’ve experienced the withdrawal of a mothering figure,” said psychiatrist Leonard Cruz, author of A Clear and Present Danger: Narcissism in the Era of President Trump. “It might evoke ways of acting that are increasingly bombastic and attention-seeking. The child becomes almost exaggerated in the ways they try to court attention.” “I’m not speaking specifically about Donald Trump,” he added, “but boy … ” ** www.alternet.org/2017/11/even-donald-trumps-mother-was-afraid-she-had-raised-monster/

Another road block for dt! A federal judge in Pennsylvania on Sunday halted the Trump campaign’s lawsuit against the state over how it sends and counts mail-in ballots.Nicholas Ranjan of the U.S. District Court in the Western District of Pennsylvania, who was appointed by President Trump, ruled Sunday that Trump’s lawsuit against the secretary of state and 67 county election boards should be put on hold while state court cases about voting move forward, CNN reported. "After carefully considering the arguments raised by the parties, the Court finds that the appropriate course is abstention, at least for the time being. In other words, the Court will apply the brakes to this lawsuit, and allow the Pennsylvania state courts to weigh in and interpret the state statutes that undergird Plaintiffs' federal- constitutional claims," Ranjan reportedly wrote Sunday. ** More at link: thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/513314-judge-halts-trump-campaigns-mail-voting-lawsuit-against-pennsylvania

Something is wrong! thehill.com/homenews/campaign/513323-george-conway-says-he-is-withdrawing-from-lincoln-projectWhite House counselor Kellyanne Conway will depart her position in the Trump administration at the end of the month to focus on family matters, she said in a statement late Sunday.
"This is completely my choice and my voice," Conway said. "In time, I will announce future plans. For now, and for my beloved children, it will be less drama, more mama." Conway has been a close adviser to the president dating back to the 2016 campaign. She was the first woman to mange a victorious presidential campaign after she took the reins late in the 2016 cycle, and she has served in her White House role since the beginning of the administration. The Washington Post first reported on Conway's planned exit. Conway's husband, George, separately wrote on Twitter that he would be leaving his role with the Lincoln Project, a group of anti-Trump Republicans, for similar reasons. The conflict between the Conways — he an outspoken Trump critic and she one of his most ardent and visible defenders — has prompted social media speculation about their marriage, with President Trump even lambasting George as a "loser." Their daughter, Claudia, also gained social media notoriety in recent weeks for TikTok and Twitter posts swiping at the president and referencing the clashing views of her parents."We disagree about plenty but we are united on what matters most: the kids," Kellyanne Conway said in her statement. "Our four children are teens and 'tweens starting a new academic year, in middle school and high school, remotely from home for at least a few months. As millions of parents nationwide know, kids 'doing school from home' requires a level of attention and vigilance that is as unusual as these times." ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/513322-kellyanne-conway-to-leave-her-white-house-positionI think the issues involve their teen daughter.....

There is no breakthrough and the @us_FDA commissioner @stevefda has caved to Trump's pressure (including yesterday's tweet) to promote it as if there was one. ” it's not the FDA's JOB to *promote* anything!!! Their JOB is to REGULATE!!! REGULATE!!! To make sure the things we use, and that are sold to us, are safe and efficacious! This is really distressing to me, as someone who has worked in pharma, medical devices, etc. my entire career. I mean, I knew some of it went on, to a degree, but this is just blatant. ”This is as predictable as it is disturbing. If @realdonaldtrump fast tracks a vaccine, bypassing critical safety steps so he can announce it before the election, who will have confidence in taking it?” I'm sure they can scare up some die-hard (no pun intended, but...) Trumpers if necessary. If only to have some good PR for the convention.

They only put him on leave from the university after that, didn't they? 'business associate' could be the pool boy, I guess... lol.

Something bigger than this is about to break...I can feel it in my bones! Nobody makes a statement like this unless they are trying to get out in front of something. Does anyone doubt that the fling with the pool boy did not involve his wife? (CNN)Embattled evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr. resigned Monday as president of Liberty University, the Christian school founded by his late father, a spokesman for the school told CNN.
The Christian school in Lynchburg, Virginia, will issue a statement soon, Liberty University spokesman Scott Lamb said. The resignation of Falwell, one of President Trump's most prominent evangelical backers, comes after the latest in a series of recent public controversies about his behavior. A Miami man is saying he had an eight-year affair with Falwell Jr.'s wife after he met the couple at a Miami hotel. In a statement to CNN, Falwell Jr., acknowledged the affair. Falwell Jr., 58, who was on leave from the school, issued a lengthy statement Sunday saying he and his family were blackmailed by the man, who had an "inappropriate personal relationship" with his wife Becki. www.cnn.com/2020/08/24/us/jerry-falwell-jr-resigns-liberty-university/index.htmlRemember the party of family values!
