“Trump is lying that Biden is "even talking about taking the wall down." Biden has specifically rejected that idea; he's said that he'll just stop further construction.”
Personally I would take it down. They have spent the last three years replacing the existing wall. The thing has only been up 10-15 years at the most and it has to be replaced? Money could be better spent finding more efficient longer lasting other ways to secure our border.

Based on some of the responses to this tweet it would some don’t grasp the fact that The White House is the people’s house like in “We the People”.
Which means the taxpayers are paying for this little shindig.

”Aside from the quantity, one notable thing about Trump’s dishonesty last night: almost all of it was in his prepared text.
In general, the vast majority of his lying as president has been ad-libbed. In campaign season, they start putting the lies in the scripts.”

My my my............... Straight from OANN to FDA and 11 days fired! Top Food and Drug Administration (FDA) spokeswoman Emily Miller has been removed from her position after 11 days on the job, according to multiple reports.
Miller's removal comes amid the fallout over the agency's decision to issue an emergency use authorization for convalescent plasma to treat COVID-19 patients. The move was first reported by The New York Times. The FDA did not return a request for comment to The Hill. Miller's name is no longer listed on the agency's official Twitter account, but is still listed online. Miller was appointed to her position by the White House, but was fired by agency Commissioner Stephen Hahn. She previously worked for far-right media outlet One America News Network, as well as for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and has no science or medical background. As agency spokeswoman, Miller was a key player in the FDA's announcement that it was authorizing the use of convalescent plasma. The decision almost immediately came under fire and raised questions about the FDA's ability to withstand political pressure from the White House. ** more at link: thehill.com/policy/healthcare/514149-top-fda-spokeswoman-ousted-after-11-days-report

Trump -- defiant and dark as ever -- claims Biden would destroy AmericaAnalysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN Updated 7:31 AM ET, Fri August 28, 2020 (CNN)President Donald Trump's demagogic convention speech played out before a spectacular but norm-crushing White House backdrop in a potential super spreader viral event. It explained why Democrats warn he must be driven from power at all costs -- and why he may win a second term anyway. After a GOP gathering that amounted to one of the most sustained displays of propagandizing in the modern history of Western democracy, Trump painted an apocalyptic vision of a nation on the cusp of a takeover by "violent anarchists" who would exploit a "weak" Joe Biden to destroy America. He claimed that Democrats view this country as a "depraved" and "wicked" country that must be punished for its "sins." In accepting the Republican nomination, Trump turned his back on the crowd and surveyed the executive mansion, stretching out his arms in a gesture that exemplified his vision of ultimate, unaccountable presidential power. "The fact is, we're here and they are not," he said. ** But Trump is leaving no doubt about how he will fight in what are shaping up to be some of the nastiest, most dislocating months in modern American history. As he put it: "Our country wasn't built by cancel culture, speech codes, and soul-crushing conformity. We are not a nation of timid spirits. We are a nation of fierce, proud, and independent American patriots." ** more at link: www.cnn.com/2020/08/28/politics/republican-convention-analysis/index.htmlMUST hold the HOUSE. MUST win the SENATE. Clip his wings!

Bow heads. Let us share! Four at RNC in Charlotte test positive for coronavirusBY REID WILSON - 08/28/20 10:25 AM EDT Two attendees and two staffers contracted to work at the Republican National Convention in Charlotte have tested positive for the coronavirus, local health officials said Friday.Mecklenburg County officials said the four people were isolated and that those with whom they came into contact had been alerted. The health department did not say whether any had shown symptoms of the virus. The two staffers were sent home before attending any convention functions. Charlotte officials had raised concerns over the lack of social distancing measures taken at even the scaled-back convention, where only a few hundred Republicans gathered to formally renominate President Trump and Vice President Pence. Video of the event showed few people wearing masks and many posing close together for photographs. But Republicans did take precautions, using special badges that logged their movement in case contact tracers needed to alert them about possible infections. “We had diligent safety protocols in place, including testing all attendees before arriving in Charlotte, and again upon arrival. Out of roughly 1,000 tests administered, two RNC attendees, despite having negative tests prior to travel, and two Charlotte locals who planned to serve as event support staff tested positive upon arrival. All were sent home,” said Michael Ahrens, the Republican National Committee’s communications director. ** more at link: thehill.com/homenews/campaign/514124-four-at-rnc-in-charlotte-test-positive-for-coronavirus

Remember why back in 2016 trump said he would shoot those Iranian ships out of the water for “buzzing” US ships in the area? Big talk. Wonder what he has to say about this type of stuff now that he is president? ABC News... link”The Russian navy has conducted major war games near Alaska involving dozens of ships and aircraft, the biggest such drills in the area since the Soviet times.” From the article... ”MOSCOW -- The Russian navy conducted major war games near Alaska involving dozens of ships and aircraft, the military said Friday, the biggest such drills in the area since Soviet times. Russia's navy chief, Adm. Nikolai Yevmenov, said that more than 50 warships and about 40 aircraft were taking part in the exercise in the Bering Sea, which involved multiple practice missile launches. “ We are holding such massive drills there for the first time ever,” Yevmenov said in a statement released by the Russian Defense Ministry. It wasn't immediately clear when the exercises began or if they had finished. Yevmenov emphasized that the war games are part of Russia’s efforts to boost its presence in the Arctic region and protect its resources.” So far he has said nothing about the story from intelligence that Russia put bounties on US soldiers in Afghanistan. Other then it was a hoax. Or nothing about the little dust up with Russian soldiers our guys had in a Syria last week. I believe one of our guys was hurt. This guy is such a goddamn wimp. Oh to answer my question what will trump do? Nothing, nothing, & nothing.

So true:
Jennifer Abel:
I have felt a heaviness in my soul lately.
For the past couple weeks, I’ve felt it. A weight. The heaviness. So this morning - when a block of time unexpectedly opened in my schedule, I closed myself in my room, read some of John’s gospel, opened my journal, and prayed, “OK, God. What is it? My heart feels heavy. I need to write. But I don’t have words. What is this feeling?”
And I began to write - Heartbreak. It’s heartbreak. And disillusionment. I’ve been here before - so many times since 2016. And here I am again.
I keep seeing Christians say they can’t vote for Joe Biden because of his stance on abortion. I”ve seen Christians proudly state they are single-voter issues - it all comes down to abortion. So they’ll vote for Trump. Because he promises to appoint Supreme Court Justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade. That’s the one and only thing that matters.
But why? Why is that the one and only thing that matters?
Is that the one and only thing that matters to Jesus? Reading through the Bible, I would say unequivocally “NO.” What does the Bible say directly about abortion? And I ask this from my pro-life heart. The Bible has FAR, FAR more to say about pride, about abusing power to mistreat the poor, about lying, about treating others with hatred, about humility, about seeking forgiveness, about faithfulness -- about ALL of that than it does about abortion.
So, Christians, why are you so willing to toss all of those morals aside? Why are you so willing to turn a blind eye to so many behaviors that are completely, blatantly in opposition to the heart and character of Christ?
When I read about Joe Biden’s stance on abortion, I see a man who has wrestled with his faith. I see a man whose heart wants no abortions and who has struggled throughout his years in public service to determine the best way to accomplish that. Is it by making abortion illegal? (At one point, he said “yes.”) Is it by prohibiting government funding of abortion? (At one point, he said “yes.”) Or is it by supporting public policies that make abortion rates decline? (This seems to be where he’s landed.)
This personal wrestling resonates with me. I have had those same wrestling matches within myself.
Did you know - between 1981 and 2016, the sharpest decline in abortion rates occurred under Democratic Presidents - not under Republican Presidents. The rates especially dropped under the leadership of President Obama and continued to decline after he left office. Most everyone agrees the reason for this is because access to contraception is key in preventing pregnancies. And under the Affordable Care Act, contraception coverage became more widespread. Even though some states enacted new abortion restrictions between 2011 and 2017, by 2017 57% of the nationwide decline occurred in states that had not enacted new abortion restrictions. So there is evidence that pursuing legal action isn’t necessary (or effective) to reduce the amount of abortions.
I am pro-life. I would like to see zero abortions. I also want to honor and value the lives of women who find themselves in the position of considering abortion. Those lives also matter to me. So I don’t believe criminalizing the choice is the best way to truly help those women. I think public policies that offer help and hope -- financial and medical - are the best ways to reduce abortions.
Therefore, I need to find political candidates who will support programs that help the women who are most likely to feel that abortion is their only option, candidates who support making effective contraception affordable and accessible to everyone.
I also want a candidate who values all life. Refugees’ lives. Women’s lives. Black lives. Poor lives. Lives during a pandemic. The lives of people who disagree with him.
You see, when you say you’re voting for Trump because you’re pro-life, I can’t take you seriously. Because Trump has not proven himself to value lives. For the love! - read his Twitter and show me how this man values life.
When you say you can’t vote for Biden because of your Christian beliefs, I can’t take you seriously. Because again and again and again, Donald Trump’s words and actions fly in direct contradiction to the character of Christ.
For the past four years, I’ve been so disillusioned and heartbroken and sad to see so many Christians abandon their morals and contort their beliefs in order to justify their support of someone who so obviously violates every moral and value I was taught in the Church.
Somewhere along the line, political masterminds decided that evangelical Christians could be manipulated into believing abortion and gay marriage are the only two things God cares about.
Friends, that is a lie. You have been hoodwinked.
Obviously, you don’t have to vote for Joe Biden. But you can’t use our Jesus and the Bible to defend your support of Donald Trump.

Now, all of a sudden, the GOP doesn't want to run on character.
Hunh. Imagine. They'd vote for Satan himself (if he was real) to keep their ill-gotten gains and cut the cap gains rates.

The real world.
NPR...
”The GOP lost the TV ratings race this week, as prime time viewership for the Republican National Convention was consistently below figures for the Democratic party's virtual convention last week, according to figures released by Nielsen.
Republicans got their largest audience on Thursday, when President Donald Trump accepted his party's nomination for re-election, with an estimated 23.8 million people tuned in from 10 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. across 13 different networks. That was less than the 24.6 million people who watched the night Joe Biden accepted the Democratic nomination for president across 12 networks--one fewer--on the final evening of that party's convention on Aug. 20”
trump’s world...
”Great total numbers for the Republican National Convention. Blows Democrat National Convention away. Also, much bigger fund raising numbers!”
Even when they added streaming The DNC edged the RNC and more people turned in to hear Joe Biden then trump.
