Judge Amy Coney Barrett: A Torpedo!
She is ‘a judicial torpedo’ aimed at ACA, ..So says Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. President Trump 'absolutely hates' the ACA...Why? "It was Barack Obama's idea...and millions and millions of people love it. It it were not for Obamacare....44 million people would not have healthcare.
US Senator Whitehouse: "Judge Amy Barrett is a torpedo" .......
Whitehead and other Democrats argued Monday at Barrett’s confirmation hearing that the Affordable Care Act is at serious risk if Barrett is confirmed to the high court. The court is set to hear a major challenge to the law on Nov. 10, a week after the presidential election.
Whitehouse says the nation is in the midst of a “relentless” health care crisis that the Trump administration has “botched.” He notes former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg “hadn’t been buried when the president and Senate Republicans celebrated Barrett’s nomination at the White House super-spreader event,” when a number of White House aides and others were likely infected with the coronavirus.
. Sheldon Whitehead, Democratic Senator: This man, a lawyer from the state of Rhode Island, today made what I believe was one of the most powerful. piercing, memorable, - and almost 'hypnotizing indictments of the Republican Party as a coordinator of Dark Money and as the ultimate corrupters of law, the courts - even the Supreme Court
Senate Republicans scramble to put Trump at arm's length
the hill BY REID WILSON -10/13/20 06:00 AM EDT
".......YES, I think you can say we are extremely concerned now,..We often don't know where the president is on any issue. His flip-flopping on the two major political issues, sometimes on the same day, has us greatly concerned for the outcome of this election.
"Senate Republicans desperate to save their majority are beginning to distance themselves from President Trump just weeks before Election Day."
GOP US Senate candidates are saying privately that 'the president's comments about Viet Nam veterans being 'LOSERS' and 'STUPID', has really hurt them with some of thief former 'solid' constituents'.,,Also Trump asking former Chief of Staff, General John Kelly ( whose son was killed in View Name)....'What was in it for them?".....(Kelly had 'no comment')
They are also 'worried' about rumors of a report coming out of 'absolute proof' of the president's finances and his debt in regards to the Russian government. Supposedly, there will be shown proof of his massive debt payments coming due in late 2021 - and 'to whom' he owes this money to. The report will contain detail about one of Trump's defaulted loans with the German Deutshebank and how a 'mystery source' guaranteed his subsequent loans
Russian Oligarch, Felix Sater once rented almost the entire floor of Trump Tower..directly under Trump's own top floor penthouse suite. . When interviewed all Sater would say was:
'We worked together. I would find lucrative business deals where we could work together - this was, of course, before president Trump became the Republican nominee."
So far, nether Mitch McConnell, nor US Attorney William Barr have shown 'any interest' in pursuing these issues. McConnell saying "They really isn't anything there to investigate.'
Biden Campaign Gets Boost From Retired Military, Intelligence Officers Leaders for Biden.
The letter was released Sep. 24 and included 489 signatories, calling themselves National Security Leaders for Biden.
Many formet 'top US intelligence Chiefs has come out recently and have expressed 'serious concerns about the presidents 'allegiance to Russian intelligence and to Vladimir Putin...'over our own intelligence reports..Generals Michael Hayden (CIA) and General John Brennan (National Security Agency have be recently very open and critical of president Trump's strong ties and allegiance to the Russian president. Other retire intel officers have suggested that Vladimir Putin 'has something on' the US president and is holding that over his head so that he NEVER criticizes Putin or Russia.
WHY? Why is Trump so afraid of ever saying a critical word about President Vladimir Putin?
Many, an increasing number of former Trump supporters, including military veterans are now coming out in larger and larger numbers for Joe Biden.
The women's vote is now estimated to between 71% to as much as 75% for Joe Biden. Former women GOP voters, the more highly educated, from the suburbs, have deserted Trump in large numbers.

Trump and his Russian Connections All of the names below had direct business dealings with Trump
The 'point' of my blog post here, is merely show that our greatest enemy, Russia, IS, still is, and has been since 1997, a great part of Trump's amazing, financial, over-night rise from 6 bankruptcies to suddenly, his buying and selling properties, building Trump Towers...with Russian money initially, later, he would 'sell' the Trump name, the brand so that a Trump Tower and international golf courses could be built...It is reported by the New York Times this month that everyone of Trump's golf courses are losing money...'big money'. As reported, he has a total of $460 million in loans coming due in late 2021, The story is now, even the sleazy German Deutshebank will not lend him money. Why not?
ALL of this is public information...it is just that the GOP controlled Senate and Billy Barr squelched Robert Mueller's 'evidence'...No US government legal investigation was started. Trump is 'OWNED' (in this writer's opinion) by Vladimir Putin.
...AND/OR private State meeting (no witnesses) with high Russian Government officials. Remember Sergei Kislyak and DimitriLavorv - Russian-US ambassador, Dimitri Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister...Trump said: "James Comey? You don't have to worry about that nutjob. I just fired him yesterday.' Then Trump made every American leave the Oval office, leaving only the three of them - and the Russian official photographer in the room behind closed doors - defying all regulations and protocols...There has to be someone recording and taking note, No Russians, ever before, were invited 'into the Oval Office'.
Their names are in Robert Mueller's Report..but Mueller allowed himself to get 'rolled' by the ever devious William F. Barr - and the 'killer' Mueller Report sunk below the radar - out of sight.
Let's review Trump's Russian cronies: Let's start with Felix Sater a Russian Oligarch who long has held a US visa. He once rented the entire floor directly under Trump's top penthouse suite. He 'found deals' for he and Trump to 'invest in'.
Right: Two Russian Oligarchs: Felix Sater, Tafik Arif and Trump.
This photo was taken at Trump's now defunct Panama International Beach Club. Many of Trump's new condos were bought by these guys and other Russian Oligarchs..Many of 'the buyer's bought and sold the condos - and never set foot in them..Rubles in - US dollars out.
Famous Quote: Eric Trump: "We don't need American banks, we get all the financing we need from the Russians."
The 'reason' the Trump family got money from the Russians was that by 1997, NO US BANK would lend Trump so much as a dime: Six Trump bankruptcies were more than enough for them.
Guess who 'stepped up' and 'saved 'The Donald'..his 'new friend', the former Russian KGB Chief and Russian president, Vladimir Putin.
Interesting real estate transaction:
Why did a Russian pay $95M to buy Trump’s Palm Beach mansion?
US Presidents Who Really did - Make America Great
These, below, were the visionaries,
These presidents cultivated and respected our allies.Each of these 'led'. Each of these 'led' America with a higher callingVOTE for JOE BIDEN
Put an end to the insanity
History will note: Conservatives-Republicans fought against EVERYONE OF THESE!
EMANCIPATION-PROCLAMATION ACT, SOCIAL SECURITY, THE GREAT SOCIETY, VOTERS RIGHTS ACT , MEDICARE, MEDICAID ACA - OBAMACARE WOMEN'S RIGHTS
President Bill Clinton and Gen. Wesley Clark led, supported NATO in the war in Serbia-Croatia.and effectively won it, ended it - against Serb Fascist Army...Clinton was 'the last - and ONLY modern president to not only serve 2 terms, but leave office with A HUGE SURPLUS in the US Treasury.
ACA - OBAMACARE
IF Obamacare (ACA) is abolished, 29 million Americans will lose their healthcare....Trump 'talks about' his 'great' (non-existent) healthcare....
So, who are you going to vote for.?

'2020 - Dying in a Leadership Vacuum' (From The New England Journal of Medicine)
For the first time in history, it has announced a political opinion:
"We must vote Donald Trump out of office!"
QUOTES: "....Covid-19 has created a crisis throughout the world. This crisis has produced a test of leadership. With no good options to combat a novel pathogen, countries were forced to make hard choices about how to respond.
"......Here in the United States, our leaders have failed that test. They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy..."
"..The magnitude of this failure is astonishing.."
"..Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? We have failed at almost every step. We had ample warning, but when the disease first arrived, we were incapable of testing effectively and couldn’t provide even the most basic personal protective equipment to health care workers and the general public.
Let’s be clear about the cost of not taking even simple measures. An outbreak that has disproportionately affected communities of color has exacerbated the tensions associated with inequality. Many of our children are missing school at critical times in their social and intellectual development. The hard work of health care professionals, who have put their lives on the line, has not been used wisely. Our current leadership takes pride in the economy, but while most of the world has opened up to some extent, the United States still suffers from disease rates that have prevented many businesses from reopening, with a resultant loss of hundreds of billions of dollars and millions of jobs. And more than 200,000 Americans have died. Some deaths from Covid-19 were unavoidable. But, although it is impossible to project the precise number of additional American lives lost because of weak and inappropriate government policies, it is at least in the tens of thousands in a pandemic that has already killed more Americans than any conflict since World War II.
Anyone else who recklessly squandered lives and money in this way would be suffering legal consequences. Our leaders have largely claimed immunity for their actions. But this election gives us the power to render judgment. ....:

The 25th Amendment - What Exactly doe it say?
A National Security Crisis
Is Trump a psychopath? Not only a sick man, but a madman?
Should Trump be removed from power by invoking the 25th amendment?
Pentagon and other high military generals are greatly concerned that there is no 'clear leadership' right now..,They have openly stated their concerns that the has been not serious discussion of 'possible transfer of power' - Many Pentagon generals believe the president is 'both' physcially very sick and two, should be evaluated for mental illness. So far, Trump refuses to cooperate or even discuss, 'possible' necessity, for a quick transfer of power -thus leaving the US vulnerable on many fronts.
25th Amendment. The 25th Amendment, proposed by Congress and ratified by the states in the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, provides the procedures forreplacing the president or vice president in the event of death, removal, resignation, or incapacitation.
Incapacitation?.......
incapacitate
[ in-kuh-pas-i-teyt ]
verb (used with object),in·ca·pac·i·tat·ed,in·ca·pac·i·tat·ing.
to deprive of ability, qualification, or strength; make incapable or unfit; disable.
Law. to deprive of the legal power to act in a specified way or ways.
Dr. Sean Conley, physician to President Trump - He does not tell the truth about the degree of seriousness of Trump's COVID infection. The regular staff doctors at Walter Reed were unanimous that president Trump should NOT be able to leave the hospital...
Trump 'instructed' (ordered) Dr. Sean Conley to not only 'release him', but to lie about his actual, truthful, physical condition.
,
Trump is very sick....at the same time he is arrogant and irrational, putting the United States national security at risk.

What We Have to Fear Now: TheTrump-Extreme Right Wing Militia-Anarchists ....the 'Patriotic'.. Trump crazies'
What Trump hath wrought on America - A new level of hate and racism....Nothing demonstrates this fact, than these Trump-militia lunatics planning for months to 'kidnap' Michigan Governor, Gretchen Whitmer. It is undeniable: Donald Trump is not only a racist, he is a Fascist autocrat who respects no US laws. He has 'loosed' a new wave of terrorists - American right wing nutcases. He confirmed 'who he is'..in the debate when he 'reflected' on THE PROUD BOYS: He mouthed their slogan....."Stand back and Stand by."
Trump, he is pathetic, drowning now, not only in the COVID VIRUS, but in his own sinking, drowning Republican racist campaign.
Gretchen Whitmer: 'Hate groups heard Trump's words asrallying cry'
