It's almost like Trump is NOT actually trying to win re-election and is instead holding the @SenateGOP majority hostage in exchange for something that they haven't yet given him?

Almost. 🤔

Trump's insanity is an act. He knows what the score is and what he can control.

Unfortunately for him, the Trump Admin crimes are well documented. As soon as they lose control of Senate/WH, it all comes out. Only thing left for him is how badly he loses, narrowly or a landslide
What can Transactional POTUS extract from the powerful leaders and donors of the GOP on the way out the door? A pardon from Pence after resigning?
Trump appears to be holding out til the end for maximum leverage...the GOP Senate's fate in his hands

For a secret flight to Moscow?
He tanked the 1st debate. He and Jared continue to Do Nothing on COVID and weaponize the wearing of masks

Gonna be a dramatic final days?

Remember the Europe Migrant Crisis that peaked in 2015-2016? European officials declared crisis over in March 2019

Putin sure got a lot of benefit from destabilizing NATO countries & taking attention off of Russia's various subversion Ops around the world

Putin cracks down on whistleblowers telling the truth about uncontrolled COVID outbreaks in Russia...

Putin tells Russia coronavirus is in retreat. Critics face crackdowns for saying it’s far from over.
By Robyn Dixon

And in Putin's Russia, the average person faces terrible options in protecting themselves from catching the virus: distrust of doctors, high infection risk in hospitals, and a culture of not wearing masks or taking the COVID risks seriously.

Biden insiders say he is a #HappyWarrior and knew his skills would be perfect to beat T because he's the oppposite of that clown in every way.

I'm a #HappyVoter who, along with all of my friends & family, cast my #Vote for #JoeBiden ❤🇺🇸

Nothing scandalous about Joe. No October Surprise... ImageImageImageImage
Look at the people vouching for Joe after knowing him for years (Murphy, Kaufman, Dodd, Coons) and compare to Donald's so-called friends or the ones he pays to say nice things about him. ImageImageImageImage

There is nothing preventing America from Contact Tracing via human phone calls like the Germans except political will.
washingtonpost.com/world/europe/c…
"BERLIN — There's no sophisticated technology in the northern Berlin office where Filiz Degidiben spends her days tracking down contacts of people infected with the novel coronavirus.

Her main tools are the phone by her side, a yellow calendar on the wall & a central database."
"As the United Kingdom and the United States scramble to hire teams of contact tracers, local health authorities across Germany have used contact scouts such as Degidiben since they confirmed their first cases early this year.

Epidemiologists say the effort has been essential.."

DAMN!!! NYT's science & health reporter Donald G. McNeil is All Out Of Fucks!

"We completely blew it for the first two months of our response. We were in a headless-chicken phase, and yes, it’s the president’s fault, it is not China’s fault. The head of the Chinese CDC was on the phone to Robert Redfield on Jan. 1, again on Jan. 8..."
"and the two agencies were talking on Jan. 19. The Chinese had a test on Jan. 13; the Germans had a test on Jan. 16. We fiddled around for two months, we had a test on March 5 and it didn’t work. We didn’t have 10,000 people tested until March 15. So we lost two months there..."

Oh God...ChiCom train company built a factory in Rahm Emanuel's Chicago. This is probably a FCPA boondoggle of Huawei proportions. 😡

@ericgarland @a_team1983 @HatesHorseshoes @wokyleeks @ninaandtito @BaldingsWorld @20committee @ddp @Dry_Observer "CRRC is the world’s largest maker of freight and passenger rail cars. Over the past decade, the state-owned Chinese company has gone from country to country underbidding rivals and taking business from giants such as Alstom, Bombardier, Siemens, and Hyundai’s rail unit, Rotem."
@ericgarland @a_team1983 @HatesHorseshoes @wokyleeks @ninaandtito @BaldingsWorld @20committee @ddp @Dry_Observer "When Siemens and Alstom tried to merge two years ago, before being blocked by European Union regulators, they cited the CRRC juggernaut as one rationale. The Chinese company effectively wiped out Australia’s homegrown rail car industry in less than a decade.”
