She is nothing more than a spoon fed mouthpiece, maybe the award should be to those that actually come up with the the words she repeats.

Evidence for that? She has repeatedly demonstrated a detailed knowledge of the issues when confronted by opponents. All you've got is name-calling.

Good god man,how many times does he have to say it ! Wray seems to be screaming out to America in his comment below

"The greatest long-term threat to our nation’s information and intellectual property, and to our economic vitality, is the counterintelligence and economic espionage threat from China. It’s a threat to our economic security—and by extension, to our national security".

Because the Chinese constitute one threat, that means there can't be another?

The Democrats think they're going to win because the vocal minority on Twitter say so. How cute. ????

 

Biden will lose so his comments are irrelevant.

The only "evidence" you offer is from the future. Did you design that crystal ball yourself?

As an Irishman, I have zero problem with the British determining their own future. We will figure out the Northern Ireland stuff later.

It is bad that Ireland is being used as a stick to hit Britain with, just as it was a mistake for our previous Taoiseach (Prime Minister) to be so smug about Britain's difficulties. That was terrific for his future prospects, guaranteeing him prestigious and highly-paid EU positions for the rest of his life, but it tainted our generally very good relationship with our closest neighbor and trading partner.

The Brexit stuff will work out. After all the fuss, the EU and the UK will eventually come to some sort of arrangement. In the meantime, the Irish should trust that the British will act in good faith. We have come a long way together.

 

Right. Varadkar is the dishonest one and Johnson is an honorable man.

And here we go again. Reuters are intentionally conflating absentee voting(where the eligible voter requests a ballot by mail, fair enough) with the democrats plan to willy-nilly universal mail out up to 80 million ballots to all on the register without proper checks into who actually receives and fills the ballots. A scheme seemingly designed to help fraud with no benefit whatsoever - seeing as all real voters that want a mail in ballot can request one in a system that works well already.

 

Quick proof that the Reuters article is deeply flawed(I am being generous and polite).

 

"A New Jersey judge invalidated a city council election and ordered a new one after allegations of voter fraud, according to a ruling issued Wednesday.

The May 12 election for Paterson's Third Ward city council was "rife with mail in vote procedural violations," Judge Ernest Caposela said in his ruling, though he left the decision on whether there was voter fraud to the criminal courts."

As for the main thrust of the OP. Russian friends tell me the narrative is nonsense. Why on earth would Russia want to help Trump win a re-election? They tell me Trump has been very hard on Russia and it has been painful. They want another corrupt globalist swamp beast back at the reigns in the US, not a maverick outsider like Trump. 

The Paterson election was municipal and didn't have the safeguards that a statewide poll would. Despite which the plot was uncovered.

It's not real convincing to cite unnamed and presumably private citizens. Typically what happens with Trump is he tries a gambit and says something supportive of Putin and/or Russia. Then when an outcry arises he beats an ambiguous retreat. To date, has Trump ever said anything negative at all about Vladimir Putin? How do his comments compare to those about leaders in Western Europe?

Um, no, they hold the lower house, not the entire congress. 

As I already pointed out, functionally it makes no difference. Can't pass a trade agreement without the bill passing in the House.

The thing is, trade is already very free between the UK and the USA. Tariffs are low and there aren't a lot of obstacles. That's why the UK government itself predicts not much benefit from a trade deal between the 2 nations.

No. Giving a non left wing extremist view of an interglacial age phenomenon.

Warming rebound from the interglacial period ended about 8000 years ago. Until the industrial revolution the average global temperature had actually been declining.

Hold your horses and just wait a few more days, until the first debate... if not cancelled because Biden cannot find the key to get out of his basement... 

 

Trump is certainly not an orator like Obama was, but poor Biden constantly needs the crutches of a teleprompter, which he won't have for a debate. 

 

Interestingly, yesterday both Biden and Harris talked about the upcoming Harris-Biden administration... feels like being back to the days of the Cheney-Bush administration... 

Unlike you, I've heard Biden interviewed. He was able to delve into and illuminate the complex history of legislation. Can Trump even sustain 2 sentences that are logically connected and fact-based?

CDC and masks

There is a correct way to wear a mask! Like you said!It also says ,

Don't touch the mask! I must confess I see many people, GOP ,dems and doctors come to podiums to talk ,many take off their masks only to put them back on.

The other mention by the CDC on their site, is don't wear a N95.

• Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect others in case you’re infected with COVID-19 but don’t have symptoms!
• Don’t put the mask around your neck or up on your forehead
• Don’t touch the mask, and, if you do, wash your hands or use hand sanitizer to disinfect.

There are other bullet points as well! You mention criminal  negligent by the GOV,I think that's a stretch.especially knowing through out the years how the Gov has responded in other crisis(regardless of the death count) particularly non medical,which is the same,hurricanes,floods,conflicts in other lands imop !

Don't forget fauci said it was unprecedented! He also gave a shout out to Mr. Trump for listening to his advise early on,when he wasn't quite sure of the virus 

 

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/how-to-wear-cloth-face-coverings.html

Trump just held an indoor rally where most of his supporters didn't wear masks. Was this in accordance with Redfield or Fauci's advice?
