Its a tough position balancing the right to privacy, doctor/patient confidentiality and the public interest.

While the situation has changed, this administration's playbook has not: Deflect, Deny and Discredit.

Some of these Trump ads I'm seeing watching football are hilarious. Especially the one about how he's been just so great for black Americans. Dude starts off by saying he was a huge Obama supporter, but it's okay to be an Obama and a Trump supporter because Trump has done so much for black employment. Then he says that Joe Biden's america involved incarcerating black people, while Trump set them free!

... And I'm going, I thought you said you were a big Obama supporter? But... Biden's America was Obama's America. This ad doesn't even make internal sense.

If things had to make sense, Trump would have vanished into a puff of smoke years ago.

I’ve been following this on Reddit and it’s hilarious.

The "Proud Boys" Hashtag Has Been Taken Over By Gay Love

Quote:
If you search for "Proud Boys" on Twitter, you won't get what you're expecting, and you will absolutely be delighted.

After Donald Trump's reference to the extremist group at the first presidential debate, people have taken over the #ProudBoys hashtag with photos of gay men celebrating their lives and their love.
Quote:
Even the official Twitter account for the Canadian forces in the US got in on the action.

Jon Voight was on Ben Shapiro Sunday special, and it was absolutely mind-numbing to listen to that BS. I can't believe he would be on a Sunday special he sounds like he should get a street corner shouting slogans

I thought I noticed something off about the way the background seemed to move at a pace much faster when he took a breath as opposed to how slowly it would while he was mid-sentence.

I jumped on twitter a while ago and saw Trump was in a motorcade on his way home.......so I thought. It ended up he just went for a little spin to wave to his supporters and then headed back to Walter Reed. Nice that he put those secret service personal inside his SUV at direct exposure to Covid just for a little ego trip. Beyond insanity. How is this allowed???

This is, or at least should be, beyond the ask to put your life on the line for one's country and President.

In non Trump news, a clip from the Harrison-Graham debate. All polls showing a very close race in South Carolina.

Quote:
Secret Service agents expressed their anger and frustration to colleagues and friends Friday, saying that the president’s actions have repeatedly put them at risk. “He’s never cared about us,” one agent told a confidant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the internal reaction.

Former Secret Service agents said it was unheard of for agents to openly complain about their president but that some currently in the ranks had become convinced during the pandemic that Trump was willing to put his protectors in harm’s way.

Agents who work in field offices around the country complained that since late August, they are no longer being tested when they return home from working at a rally for the president.

“This administration doesn’t care about the Secret Service,” one current agent relayed in an internal discussion group. “It’s so obvious.”

Can we swap this man for Biden?

So impressed with all his takes I've seen so far. A high profile American politician that is articulate, advocates unity and has enough testicular fortitude to not get defensive and descend into childlike behavior when provoked? I'll be damned.

Also arrived to the debate with plexiglass to put around him to protect himself and others.
