Today…Amy Barrett still missing as opposed to Ginsberg who did everything she damned please…
The Supreme Court clears up a loose end by rejecting a third Republican request to block the N.C. ballot extension. Same alignment as last night.
Please understand that Justice Barrett cannot rule on a case for which she has not heard the arguments.
Yeah, it’s really annoying that people are attacking ACB without doing any research as to WHY she isn’t participating!
Did Justice Ginsberg hear all the arguments each time she was in the hospital dying?
In the North Caroline case there were no arguments before SCOTUS. It was a simple application for a stay.

“Did Justice Ginsberg hear all the arguments each time she was in the hospital dying?”
She was already on the court when the cases were brought forward you dolt, regardless of “WHERE” she was. How clearer does it need to be said for you to comprehend it? Other than being a troll.
sam- before you call someone a troll, maybe your should read Tom Fitton’s comment below.
Yea, I did. Perhaps you should read the statement from a retired magistrate that posts here stating that ACB can’t rule on things she was not seated for.
But hey, Doom and Gloom is easier that actually figuring out the truth. It’s very apparent here for several posters.
A low hanger, a bark clinger or just moss gro…….ah never mind. I’m not being nice.
sam12…try doing some research before you start calling people trolls.
SCOTUS spokesperson has stated the following
“Justice Amy Coney Barrett took no part in both the North Carolina and Pennsylvania decisions because she had not had time to fully review the briefs, the court said.”
“No time to read the briefs”
The North Carolina case was simple request for a stay. Barrett could not read it?
Barrett testified in the Senate without notes. She could not read couple of briefs in time.
Keep trolling, it’s all you people have left. Simple facts elude you. Don’t know how many times it’s been stated that she wasn’t seated when the case was brought before the court.
Reading briefs is more then just reading the words, unless you think both sides Attorney are truly honest and not trying to persuade you.
A Judge unlike an arbitrator has also look beyond what the Attorneys have filed or argued. If that is not followed we would have some very bad ruling, if done by the Supreme Court it would be really bad as lower courts will follow.
Voting is mostly a state issue, so in most cases the Federal Courts will not act.
I will not judge the new judge on her first week, Roberts was good on his first week.
It’s brought before the court. Not people
She is on the court. She chose this path to do some clever pr play. That may end up being smart. Most likely she knew the vote count made her insignificant
When we have 8 Republican nominated judges we may have a chance
While debating war, we stay within the rules. What makes Dems immune? They don’t give a fck what you say, think, or will pretend to do.
samw…are you so sure..she was not under ice ?????
martin:
Please show me the precedent/regulation or law that states that.
SCOTUS spokesperson has stated: “Justice Amy Coney Barrett took no part in both the North Carolina and Pennsylvania decisions because she had not had time to fully review the briefs, the court said.”
Wrong. Stop losing. You deserve better.
Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch is 3 + Barrett is 4, 5-4 siding with the “Chief Justice”. Did someone else die I didn’t know about?
Kavanaugh
I have read down through the many comments on this subject. I have a perspective as a Pennsylvanian. I realize that it is Monday morning quarterbacking; but this case went through the PA Supreme court where it could have been taken care of better for us conservatives. The reason it wasn’t, is because the PA supreme court is a majority of liberal judges. Why? Because most people don’t vote during the off years when the judges are elected. It’s one of my big pet peeves.
We, the electorate, need to get more serious about researching and voting when these elections are held. These elections are neglected and need special, serious attention. The presidential election gets the attention and then the electorate goes to sleep for four years.
I find that even federal level offices are often filled by candidates who start their careers on local levels. So, not only judicial elections, but local elections should grab our attention more seriously. Sometimes, it takes digging to find out how the judicial candidates align with party politics; but it is worth the effort of doing this in non-presidential years. This case for PA points out the reason why. My daughter, thank God, woke me up to this many years ago when she became involved in the county’s Republican party.
We need to pay attention to the dog catchers votes
The ACLU can probably challenge right up to the night of the election…
but the Republicans are too damn late….
A federal judge in a *different* PA. case about the absentee ballot deadline denied an injunction to push the date back to Nov. 3 for ballots w/out a postmark — the judge thought challengers had a winning arg, but came too late
https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7277581/10-28-20-Bognet-Order.pdf
Every one of these stinking cases finding for those extending vote acceptance dates and nullifying post mark requirements is outright legislating from the bench. Those findings are a violation of the law. Plus a major over reach of judicial authority with respect to congress’ national election responsibilities in the constitutions.
Congress very clearly in 1845,1872 and 1914 FIXED the date for election of the president and members of congress. In over 100 years congress has allowed that legislation to stand.
It is the responsibility of the States and Citizens to meet the requirement specified in that legislation. It is a violation of the rights of those who do comply with the law to allow extensions to those who do not comply.
It is frustrating as all hell, but the election WILL occur on election day.
When will we find out who won???
The FF, nor legislation from 1845, 1872, or 1914 could have anticipated slick, socialist scum lawyers from using absentee/mail-in balloting to cheat.
Who said the Constitution would only work in a moral society?
Imo, scotus is simply acknowledging state control of election policy.
They did not make a new law, or change an old one.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-releases-information-election-day-efforts-protect-right-vote-and-prosecu-1
From the Dept. Of Justice today. Like the FBI… they’re “right on it”….yep…put your trust in the FBI and DEPT. of JUSTICE to insure a fair election.《sarc》
Just a refresher comment..
It’s a republic if we don’t hand it over.
We will make sure we are explained to in detail how the election went. First time we hear “trust us”. We demand a redo
Is a “re-do” even a constitutional possibility?
We aren’t even in the constitution anymore. That’s what our side is having the hardest time accepting.
This is an insurrection, and we aren’t seeing our gov deal with it like the constitution requires ( because they are complicit).
This is highly uncomfortable. Bikers POTUS applauses. Calls back military to deal with deep state. Highly uncomfortable
yup
https://alphanewsmn.com/malkin-the-mobilization-of-the-mob/
One side isn’t afraid to interpret the law their way. One side is afraid to defend the current law. Amongst them are people one step from civil disobedience
Come Nov 3 POTUS win. We must be civil, lawful, but no longer silent. People must know one of us may be next to them ( a dreadful supporter of America)
Election nullification by judicial legislation would be casus belli for civil war; Trump is the “wartime president” I’m voting for.
Just because there is a federal statute on elections, does not make it the law. States have certain rights that the Federal Government can not over right with a mere statute. It is not that simple.
It most certainly is congress is charged in the constitution to put together requirements for election to president an congress. The decide how to comply with rules set by congress is their part of the responsibilities. The 10th amendment does not override tan original article.
Concur!
“too late” my eye
I will take one Tom Fitton over 5 Barretts any time. JW is the only org that earned my trust. We know what we know about the swamp only because of their heroic efforts to pry the documents from the cold slimy undead hands of the DoJ and FBI.
Meanwhile, President Trump used the wifi log in and for the press:
FilledtheSeat
JusticeBarret
Seems pretty pleased with his nomination. She also did not “decline to participate”, as the case was on the docket before she was sworn in. Just to clear up Tom Fitton’s dishonesty.
Correct. Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham knew dam well what they were doing when they delayed the process to appoint her to the court. Those two miscreants own this mess.
So let me get this straight, the two guys who could have gotten Trump thrown out of office by going along with impeachment are just now implementing their diabolical plan?
Bwhahahaha
Eric, you have been here long enough to know McConnell and Graham do nothing to benefit the president and have done nothing for 4 years. Any actions they take that are helpful is only because needs align for that action, as in the case of those federal judges.
So in other words, she wouldn’t have been able to participate even if she wanted to? I just chalk that up to Roberts being an absolute scumbag for deliberately scheduling these to where ACB couldn’t participate
Yes Roberts is a louse but we need to see when those cases were scheduled. Also, McConnell and Graham knew the schedule and built in the delay accordingly. Those was covered a few weeks back when those two clowns announced the hearing dates, concerning timing of appointment vs case dates.
No. Eric’s point is, if McConnell wanted Trump gone, he would have been gone when he was impeached. As far as judging Barrett on her first day, remember, she got the nomination because she is an originalist, not a Republican. Give her a few years, and let’s see how it goes. Those of you wishing we had a partisan hack, that’s probably not what she’s going to be. President Trump is not a burn it down guy. He thinks our system is the best ever created, and he’s looking to restore it so that is functional and uncorrupted. Playing the same game as the left is a losing proposition.
Impeaching popular Republican President is Political suicide. They are not that dumb but they are very cunning. They prefer backstabbing to direct confrontation. Ex. Wray, Barr etc. We’ve been here before. Looks like Kavanaugh is another one as well as Barret.
We shouldn’t underestimate their will to hold on to their power.
The woman just got there for goodness sakes. What kind of unfair judgements are being handed out here today on CTH branches? Sheesh, give her a chance to get her footing and up to speed before criticizing her. Maybe she couldn’t participate in these cases for some very legitimate legal reason?
There seems to be a case of the girl scouts going around.
I disagree that was the reason. SCOTUS spokesperson stated it differently: ( Reported in other press releases )
“Justice Amy Coney Barrett took no part in both the North Carolina and Pennsylvania decisions because she had not had time to fully review the briefs, the court said.”
https://www.kctv5.com/north-carolina-can-count-votes-received-9-days-after-election-day-supreme-court-rules/article_17cb8316-6e96-5d15-a58d-c7085a40c630.amp.html
The North Carolina case was a simple motion request for a stay
https://twitter.com/GregStohr/status/1321882682377252864/photo/1
Barrett testified in the Senate without notes. She could not read a motion in time? She could not read the briefs from the other cases in time?
Fitton was not being dishonest
I think Justice Barrett would have sided with the state, because the US Constitution says that states are in control of elections.
I might be the “dolt” here, but this seems pretty simple to me.
I don’t like it, either, but as President Trump said about wuflu, “it is what it is”.
I thought, it was State in control of State Elections, meaning, Fed Rules apply to Federal Offices (President, Congress)?
I don’t think so.(not a lawyer)
These are state cases before scotus.
The state Legislature is in charge, not the person over elections. It is my understanding that the state legislature didn’t approve the number of days that the election clerk put in place. The election clerk is not the legislature.
thanks!
Oh no, you just destroyed Fitton with this WiFi logo argument.
President Trump is not known for his good judgement when it comes to shyster appointments/nominations or even his cabinet appointments. Terrible 90% of the time.
“Tom Fitton’s dishonesty”
Sure bro, you nailed it. Dishonesty. ?
The wifi login thing was pretty hilarious.
By the way, President Trump is still winning this election.
It was. But triggering the presstitutes is irrelevant to the topic at hand.
And “winning” can become problematic due to voter fraud in Pennsylvania and North Carolina which the Supreme Court allowed to happen.
agree w Tom Fitton. the federal court system is a lost cause and a worthless effort. full of Obama judges to be shopped and most ‘conservative’ ones are cowardly. Watch, ACB will turn out to be a milquetoast squish like Roberts. POTUS should have appointed Judge Pryor.
Here we go again with the doom-and-gloom.
President Trump has completely revamped the judiciary and we see the results of that daily in court decisions all across the country.
Trolls or low self esteem. Explains the reason for their doom and gloom plus its easier to be down then optimistic or do research
It seems like we have another Roberts. When RINO Mitch and Romney quickly decided to go along with the confirmation we should have known something was up.
exactly
Holy crap. Wow…just wow.
Indeed.
I have said it before and say it again. Justice Barrett is not a Thatcher Conservative. No disrespect.
I have read all of her rulings. She is for big tech, big government and corporations. She is not for the little guy.
Fast forward 20 years and lets see how history will judge her.
DBG: A couple of smart conservative guys on my job told me I would be disappointed in Barrett…she is not the person we think she is..
She’s a midwestern Catholic woman. They are notorious for being go along to get along, everyone has to be surface level nice and to hell with Church teaching. Add to that, she was a professor at Notre Dame a notoriously leftwing fake “Catholic” college with no actual Church affiliation.
Pete Buttigieg’s openly Marxist father taught there. I don’t trust her one little bit. I assume she’ll be as disappointing as most Republican appointees. In the last 50 years, there’s only been three decent justices (Scalia, Thomas, and Alito).
Better than Ginsberg, but if push comes to shove after the election – Amy will recuse and Roberts will vote to make sure the election is stolen for Biden.
And Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Amy will all get what they deserve when the Dems stack the court and impeach Amy and Kavanaugh.
Well, for one thing, she’ll be heaps better than RBG and I’m ok with that.
And the application for Stay is not: “We want the case stayed”. There’s a little more to it, go read some legal briefs and comeback.
She made me nervous with her acceptance speech last Monday night..
How can you possibly deduce that from her when she’s been there a week????? Really?
She did not hear the case. She therefore cannot rule on it. She will rule when it is brought up again . The after election ballots will be kept separate and will be ruled upon again. Doesn’t this lady get enough brick bats from the Dems?
Give them inch & fascio communists will roll right over you.
Watch.
Watch now as the ACB fan club turns on Tom Fitton next! ?
I truly hope I’m wrong about ACB. And I really mean that. A Roberts clone will ruin us all.
Not so.
We still have November 3, for now…
We must keep up up the fight every day.
I just wonder what City in got out of tweeting this right now. Does he want us angry at her?
In view of Fitton’s new job, as appointed by the president, his comment is quite devastating:
Newsmax
Trump Grants Tom Fitton Power to Unseat DC Judges
“Most notable, Judicial Watch President Thomas Fitton, a prominent conservative activist, will head up a judicial oversight group as a member of the D.C. Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure. It would give him power to unseat judges in the Washington, D.C., judiciary for misconduct or mental or physical incapacitation.”
By Eric Mack | Sunday, 04 October 2020 10:16 AM
Let’s start with unseating Judge Sullivan. We can give ACB a few more weeks to get acclimated…
I’m not sure he has power to unseat SCOTUS judges, but the facts that his job is to look at other judges and that he has the power to unseat them, adds oomph to his comments about the performance of any judge, including his snark about ACB.
Good Deal!
He has never been an Attorney, Judge, or Master; on any level. His knowledge of how courts work is not that good; see my earlier post. He is the talking head of Judicial Watch, not their counsel.
I do like the man and his push for openest, but this is not justified. I believe we wanted a serous juror and that is what we got. One who will not just check a box to please the moment. I will not judge the judge on her first week, Roberts had a good first week now see.
A voice of reason here on this topic. Thank you.
If we were all judged on how we were functioning in our first week on the job like she is being judged, we’d all have failed and been fired before we ever got started. This is just not fair at all to her or the Pres.
Last night I eavesdropped on the Left. Here is a Rolling Stone Useful Idiots interview from a week ago with Ben Tulchin, a democrat pollster. Of course, this was before Tucker’s interview with Bobulinski. The first half of the podcast is uninformative and trash except for a riff on the lack of enthusiasm for Joe. The interview starts at 53:15. I found the perspective and assumptions to be rather interesting.

Is the Daily Caller trying to be like the Drudge Report?
https://dailycaller.com/2020/10/29/joe-biden-donald-trump-election-2020-victory-odds/
I used to follow them on FB, but I got fed up with articles like this. They push these types of polls all the time. Also, Tucker sold the Daily Caller, so it’s likely run by leftists like Drudge is
What we’re seeing for the third election cycle in a row is a competition between two theories of campaigning. President Trump’s theory is to outwork the other side. He did it in 2016. Victorious. He did it in 2018 in the key Senate races. Victorious. Now just got a stinking hunch that he’s going to get the hat trick. Note to dummies. Prior to 10 or 15 years ago, people rose to the top through the strength of their efforts. That’s why they were called the cream of the crop. In anything. Let me repeat that. In anything.
I still wonder why people think Biden is more popular on his own side than Clinton or Mittens or McCain for that matter. He has campaigned LESS than Clinton if that’s possible.
Just to be clear, none of those won…
Nice
The man is a warrior. Is he politically correct? No! But similar to what Lincoln said about Grant…” I love this man, he fights!”. We are fighting and establishment, Rs and Ds, that are all getting fat at the trough. Pretty good gig, eh? You want a chance to level the playing field for the remaining 99.99% of us??. Then put on your big girl panties and start fighting like he does! This is it..get yourself and your lazy ass friends and relatives that want to enjoy what we started to have 8 months ago to the polls.
Back in the 90’s, when the contract for America was pushed by Gingrich to win back the house. Remember?, well thank him because its the first time in 40 years that we won back the house. At that time, a big part was term limits. A friend of mine argued with me that a lot of good members of congress would have to step aside. I said, “ BS, if they are so damn good how did we get into the mess we are in, year after year!” Let that sink in
Perhaps so. Prob Lincoln Project now. Useless most of the time. I used to enjoy the site but for awhile now have dusted off my feet and turned away.
ACB will be disappointing only if you looked at her as another Scalia. She will be huge positive over Ginsburg.

This is an article from the NYT….it will make your day…….snippets FTA:
“The University of California, Berkeley, has paused admissions to its Ph.D. programs in anthropology, sociology and art history.”
“Scores of graduate programs, including some at elite research universities such as Harvard, Princeton and U.C. Berkeley, have temporarily stopped taking new Ph.D. students”
“A Chronicle of Higher Education database tracking the budgetary triage has documented more than 100 such suspended programs, from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Arts and Sciences, which will not take new school-funded doctoral students next fall, to Rice University, which paused admissions to all five of the Ph.D. programs in its school of humanities.”
“Most of the suspensions are in social sciences and humanities programs where the universities — rather than outside funders such as corporations, foundations and the federal government — typically underwrite the multiyear financial aid packages offered to doctoral students.”

Glen Greewald resigns from the Intercept:
Seneca, I just went down a rabbit hole on another site regarding The Intercept. Thought to post this here as well regarding Glenn Greenwald’s fellow founders. Glenn aint no angel.. Omidyar is VERY much one of the most crooked players on the planet.
From the Intercept’s website…
“EBay founder and philanthropist Pierre Omidyar provided the funding to launch The Intercept and continues to support it through First Look Media Works, a nonprofit organization.”
“It is owned by this American 501C3. Owned by Pierre Omidyar.
From Wikipoo…
“He was born in Paris, the son of Iranian parents who migrated to France for higher education. He was given the name of Parviz.[8] His father, Cyrus Omidyar (born c. 1934), is a surgeon who worked as a urologist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and now practices in Aliso Viejo, California. Due to his father’s work, the family moved to the US when Omidyar was a child.[9] His mother, Elahé Mir-Djalali Omidyar, who did her doctorate in linguistics at the Sorbonne, is an academic.[9]”
This guy is as dirty as it gets and has been actively attempting to take America down for years.
I never knew Greenwald was involved with him. Bill Kristol has been at this guy’s teat for a bit. All attempts to take out PT.
If Greenwald was interested in blowing up a small empire, he should either sue or press charges of 1A suppression. This would be a great case for discovery of Omidyar.
WSB- you are so right about Omidyar, another Master of the Universe a la Soros.
I too do not really know that much about Greenwald, saw him a couple of times on Tucker and always assumed he was a big left leaning Lib.
I was therefore surprised at his letter of resignation which I thought was very good.
I am so surprised Greenwald was in with Omidyar!!!! Adger Greenwald saw the light, I am surprised he actually lasted this long!
I was always told Glenn was a real left winger…but that level is mucho money and raw evil power. I would love to see this blow upon Pierre!!! Although I am sure it won’t!
GG is a democrat not and extremist leftist. He is a constitutional lawyer who gave up law to write. He wrote for the Guardian and left with funding from Omidyar to co-found the intercept. Intercept is supposed to be a paper that challenges the IC of the world and US, and makes sure it is staying within the boundaries of our Constitution.
When America didnt recognize gay civil unions he moved to Brazil with his partner. They are married an have adopted 2 kids, He believes in our laws and our country and does not want to cancel anything or tear down statues. In a word, he is not woke!
Most importantly he believes that real journalism places checks on politicians and public figures and exposes wrong doing to be litigated in the public square. This is where our liberal CIA/Mockingbird Media is failing.
He is knowledgeable about NSA protocols like our leader SD. I endorse and recommend this guy Glen Greenwald and have been reading him for years. He can exist with us.
One other thing he is the writer that Edward Snowden gave his story to. I feel very strongly that Peter Strzok’s exit plan was to blame Snowden for the Russia hacking as an alternative ending. There were just too many rabbit holes and weed patches for that to happen.
I dont know Omidyar other than he invented Paypal and is an American Oligarch
I stress to all of you Glenn Greenwald is totally legitimate
Omidyar is Iranian, Paris born, owner of Ebay and has been active in attempting to unseat PT and take out US. Period.
Greenwald sure does keep some odd bedfellows.
Like I said I do not know Omidyar. My message was only to endorse GG. But it appears these two are going in separate directions
I do appreciate the background on PayPal
I linked to an article in CityPages a couple of days ago, describing rhe rag as a mirror of the alt/progressive minnecrapolis lifestyle.
#thuglife.
The only lifestyle left.
Statement in article.
“Since City Pages revenue is 100% driven by advertisers and events — and those investments have dropped precipitously — there’s no reasonable financial scenario that would enable us to continue operations in the face of this pandemic,” he continued. “Unfortunately, we foresee no meaningful recovery of these sectors or their advertising investments in the near future, leaving us no other options than to close City Pages.”

Retired Magistrate here: Supreme Court Associate Justice Barrett cannot rule on a case that she did not hear. When another ballot case come in she will participate and then issue a ruling on it.
Although I admire Tom Fitton he is not an attorney. I get very disappointed when we “eat our own” immediately. The “left” certainly does not do that. We have to stick together because we have a war to win: the war to save our country as it was founded.
Especially since these cases were brought to the SC BEFORE she was even seated!
I also admire Tom Fitton; but this is the second time recently that he has brought me to give him a “sideways glance”.
( The first time – just a few days ago, I commented on here: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/10/26/october-26th-2020-presidential-politics-trump-administration-day-1376/comment-page-2/#comment-8993022 )
I’m not sure what is happening with Mr. Fitton (perhaps the stress of the times?), but if this keeps up then I will need to reevaluate my admiration.
Perhaps he is just highly frustrated at all the the corruption that he and JW have helped expose but to no affect. He doesn’t feel that ANYONE in the DOJ or the Judicial System is “on our side”.
You make a good point.
I’m not rushing into a judgement of him – he’s been a solid soldier on our side (hence my mention that maybe he’s stressed); and deserves benefit of the doubt.
I just hope he can get back on to a more even keel. Perhaps after the upcoming crescendo that is this Nov. 03. We’re all somewhat on edge because of it.
His current “keel” is his recent appointment by the president to a position that gives him power to unseat judges.
Marcia- thanks for the clarification. I thought Tom Fitton is an attorney, no?
He has a bachelors degree in English, but in my opinion still a good guy, but just confused somewhat on the court.
I wonder why the president recently appointed Fitton to a job that gives him power to remove judges.
Marcia stated “Supreme Court Associate Justice Barrett cannot rule on a case that she did not hear”
Did you read that somewhere? Can you link the law, regulation or precedent?
Why did the SCOTUS spokesperson state: ““Justice Amy Coney Barrett took no part in both the North Carolina and Pennsylvania decisions because she had not had time to fully review the briefs, the court said.”
The SCOTUS spokesperson did not state Barrett cannot rule on a case that she did not hear.
You’re correct here. She only needed to read the briefs in order to rule on the cases. Some of her defenders are saying that she doesn’t have clerks yet to go thru the briefs, but that seems kind of a weak arguement.
Hopefully this was only a day one blip.
“Hopefully this was only a day one blip.” Exactly
Marcia:
2 relevant articles. I hope you read them and comment on them:

Luzerne County did not request that Barrett recuse because she was not a justice at the time.
Republicans are NOT Democrats, but some do turn to cannibalism when stressed.
Real Conservatives would rather starve.
I found the following organization which makes recommendations for down ballot races to help decide which candidates are pro-Christian. I found it useful
https://www.electionforum.org/la-voter-guide/
Whoops, forgot to mention, the recommendations are only for the Los Angeles County, California area.
4years and nothing has been done.
Nothing will change after the election.
Well there *is* that antitrust lawsuit filed against Google..
It will be a quiet payoff.
GROUND REPORT: Although optimistic overall, I don’t think the GOP will flip Virginia (too many demographic changes). However, I find it fascinating that Mark Warner ads have been running non-stop on WMAL (our conservative talk radio – Chris Plante, Rush Limbaugh, etc).
Why would that be if he was in great shape? He’s supposed to easily defeat Gade.
Yes, Virginia and Colorado are in play for Trump (article shows VERY positive early voting trends in both states).

Same reason Biden is running ads on Fox News. If he so much ahead, why does he bother with Fox News viewers who are conservatives?
Well, there are a lot of people that need to be punished. ?
Because Warner is swimming in money. Leaking classified documents pays well.
I’m hoping Gade wins on the votes of NOVA Republicans who won’t vote Trump and benefits from the increased votes of working class Trump voters that come out in large numbers and the many Virginians that are livid about what the Democrats have been up to in Richmond – especially trying to confiscate guns.
And hopefully suburban women who feel bad because he’s missing his leg.
Eric,
Great to hear your optimism.
Fellow WMAL listener here from Northern VA area so good to hear from you as I am the only guy in my neighborhood who supports President Trump.
My wife did vote few days ago and she is very nervous with what she saw, as she was the only one to pick the Republican sample ballot.
To play it safe, she actually picked both so as not to out herself as President Trump supporter, but there were 50-60 voters in line and she was the only one to have even considered picking the R sample ballot. Couple of voters in line were having extreme hate towards even the sample ballots.
I am planning to go tomorrow. I will give my update here if I manage to vote tomorrow.
Never a person to focus on skin color, I forget to mention that my wife was the only person in line who was an immigrant (if you know what I mean).
?? CRAZY Pelosi is now DELUSIONAL:

I am not going to believe they are going to get away with it.
I’m banking on their general incompetence to help out in that regard.
It will probably all come down to the courts making the decision. And in that case, I’m not holding my beath.
I have no doubt they are trying/will try. I have every confidence that this too shall fail.
Yes they will try, but I am NOT confident at all they will fail. Too many crooked judges in jurisdictions that they need.
My hope is in God not judges. Haman had everything in place too.
In God we Trust. All others pay cash.
…but..but.. she saying it since she did tore up SOTU speech……
“Donald Trump is not going to win, you can take that to the bank” remember that? lol
Exactly. She said the same crap in 2016. But why not roll it out again? What repercussions did she face for being wrong last time?
Maybe the grim reaper is ready to take her away…. check out the flag behind her… kind of creepy, no?
There are A LOT of good signs, right now, 5 days away.
Increasing Black/Latino numbers
Battleground states numbers
Repub registration numbers
Massive early voting numbers
We don’t even need the Biden corruption stuff, but it doesn’t hurt.
This is going to be a big league win for us and Our Lion.
I almost feel bad for the Dems. This will break them, again.
MAGA 2020!
I will never feel bad for communists/Marxists.
I also will NEVER feel bad for the corrupt Communist/Marxist Democrats and their corrupt media, social media and Big Tech!
I agree. They made their choice and should live with the consequences. However, I think the old adage of not counting your chickens before they’re hatched applies here. I think it’s foolish how many people think this is going to be a slam dunk. We’re up against the world’s best cheaters. Don’t take anything for granted.
I agree… this isn’t a slam dunk and they are the world’s best cheaters! We must all continue to pray for a landslide for the WH, Senate and Congress ON election night !!!!
I can always tell how things are going by scanning all of the TV screens at the gym. Can’t hear what they say, but all the Dem talking heads look worried – despite their smiles and the fact that the chyrons all say that Biden is 1,000,000 points ahead.
This 10000%. Look at their emotions, look at their actions which are being driven by those emotions. If they are cocky, smug, smirking, we are screwed. If they are furrowing their brows, frowning, yelling, flailing, we’re good. They have absolutely no poker face.
Let me guess……
They gave the case to Huber?
You don’t want to hear that an FBI investigation has been opened up into a Democrat’s crimes. “We’re investigating it” means “We’re not investigating it. We’re covering it up. You lose.”
Also means “we cannot comment on any ongoing cases”
Yeah. Right. ?
DOJ’s recipe for hiding corruption: open an investigation, keep it secret, let it run for years and years. Lose incriminating records, wipe phones, destroy evidence. When the public questions DOJ says “Sorry, can’t comment on open investigation”.
Yeah, still open. They like to sit around and watch Hunter’s child p@rn all day.
Any word from the media brothels on whether this counts as “verifiable”
FBI doesn’t leak when it would hurt the Dems.
Yawn. Nothing is going on there really, imo. They are just trying to pretend they are not in the tank for the Dems/left. FBI is compromised and is playing political games. Tell me when the DOJ actually indicts someone.
MSM mediascum decided both individually and collectively to shut out and ignore anything about the Hunter/Joe/Jim Biden scandals…. except to dismiss it all as “unverified” and/or “Russian disinformation.” This is one of the biggest media and political scandals in our nation’s history….. first the original bad behaviors and then all the failures of reporting and refusals to practice decent journalism.
It will not go away….its like Limburger cheese on the manifold. The car just got started
President Abraham Lincoln who led the battle to abolish slavery. Civil War casualties estimated at 620,000.
Wisconsin voters, take note:
UW-Madison student gov votes to remove Lincoln statue
https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=16024
And Union WI regiments were VERY important in the Civil War, some of the most famous.
That is true. One group of Wisconsin Regiments were grouped together in into a Brigade that became known as an elite formation called the Iron Brigade.
The Iron Brigade
But….but…but…..didn’t they wear BLACK hats? (fyi – I am NOT doubting their CW bravery!)
What a cultural revolution…
Also, the monument rock they want to destroy is a monument to a geologist, Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin, whom the current Green Movement consider a sainted forefather and former dean of the university….go figure.
Considering the wimps that allowed the Blacks to demand removal of Southern Monuments, I won’t miss a Lincoln Statue.
Just an observation… today I’ve read that the early votes in CO, VA and now MI have the percentage of White Male early voters up significantly over 2016 and that in each state, the percentage of non-college educated White Male voters is the driving factor. Now who do you think that supports…remember what Sundance says about “Cold Anger”. I bet a lot didn’t vote in 2016, as evidenced by the data the RNC puts out at each rally…it’s been brewing for 4 years…. add the 20-30% Black vote, 35-40% Hispanic vote…just another bit of circumstantial evidence that we really could be in for a big, beautiful Red Wave to wash and rid this country of evil….

So if Jack knows this shouldn’t Barr?
Umm, I doubt Barr checks Jack’s twitter feed with any kind of regularity….
So at least since 2019 the FIB and thus the DOJ have known about possible money laundering “issues” whereby they had a laptop stuffed with thousand of emails, texts, photos and financial documents……..
and yet no action taken thus opening the door to the possibility that a presidential candidate with strong connections to his family business that had financial arrangements with Chinese companies, possibly linked to the CCP as now stated by an family employee insider.
So in essence the FIB and thus the DOJ have known this for a year maybe at worst 6 months before an election and they DO NOTHING?
Since when does fear of political interference outweigh truth & justice? Especially when your sworn to uphold the law and not sworn to uphold politics?
Barr is the single highest attorney in the land and is sworn to uphold the law and not uphold politics and IMO had an obligation to inform the American people of the investigation months ago knowing millions would be deciding on who their next President should be.
Character, judgement, ethics matter when deciding who the next President should be and in essence this element was kept from the American people.
But now 5 days before the election they come clean after having this info for at least 6-12 months. It took them a few weeks to let the world know that PT was under investigation for Russia Collusion so why the difference?
The American people should be furious at AG Barr IMO.
Not only did the AG and his FBI know, the evidence was from “non political sources”. Hence even AG Bagpipes’ own intent and political silos criteria did not apply…hmmm
#WHOVETTEDJOEFORPRESIDENT?
The same people who failed to vet Obama. I think the leader of that group is Pelosi.
It was probably to protect many others in the White House in addition to Biden (to be honest).
Trump’s phone call scared a lot of dirty Dems. Fear of being found out about for their part in corruption.
Well many of us understood right at the time it began that the impeachment drama was all about protecting Biden and corrupt Democrats. But why is “our side” so slow and often inept at fighting back??? Will we manage to pull it off and re-elect Trump when Biden’s electoral prospects really should have been demolished long ago??? It may all work out next week (some signs are looking good) but by allowing so much Democrap/Biden corruption to go unchallenged for so long we are getting down to the wire…..
So this is like how the FBI was investigating Hildabeast’s email situation before the 2016 election. NO INTENT!
FBI/DOJ knows PTrump is winning and they want to be with in good books attempt.
No. They were doing this since 2019 and never mentioned it once. No statements, no leaks to the press, no leaks to any Republicans who could have stated this. They are just covering themselves since they figured this would get out on November 4.
An open investigation is how the fbi hides evidence against a dem.
Gateway Pundit is reporting that they have uncovered Hunter Biden’s “Pornhub” account. It’s a website where the users upload homegrown porn and charge others to watch. It’s also a hub for pedophilia & human trafficking. They claim they’ve confirmed that images in the Pornhub account match images recovered from Hunter Biden’s laptop.
I want to vomit. The girl is allegedly Hunter’s niece. His dead brother’s 14-year-old daughter. What in the F is wrong with that family?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/huge-breaking-exclusive-hunter-biden-pornhub-account-uploaded-personal-porn-including-family-members
Idk but as Trump says, “sick people”. My imagination is going wild what Uncle Joe could do with all the power of the Presidency behind his back, and with the totalitarian media there to cover up and yell russian disinformation with every evil act he or his depraved son could inflict upon our daughters, granddaughters, sisters, nieces. Compulsory “invites” to the oval office …I am just frightened out of my mind.
It is meaningless. Bannon, Hoft, Breitbart and Posobiec et al were all too greedy, to desperate to make this about them and their clicks.
Selfish clowns. They may have sacrificed the country to boost their own clicks.
if he was on Pornhub, its only a hop skip and a jump to find the OHIDEN’s Hidden Stash…24 private subscribers means way more personal videos INCOMING…
Dontcha know the laptop and the porn account belong to Putin. Also, all lies because the major media outlets are not reporting on it. Also, the FBI does not arrest anyone for child porn or corruption in election year because they don’t want to influence the elections and deny Chairman Joe and Chairman Xi their fair chance.

Tom fitton is simply stating…. You are being raped as you read the rule book.
Trump can`t win….2016…..as fun to watch again.
Yes. Fun to watch again. Never gets old.
Never Get Sold
Any wonder why they collectively lost their marbles? They were so damn sure he could not, would not win…. And a&&es that they are they are doing it again.
Soooo Gratifying to watch! “Everyone was WRONG.” The hubris, the arrogance…
Funny how Ann Coulter was the only one predicting the President Trump victory and the audience and other panel members mocked her.
Hunter Biden aka RHEast had 24 subscribers to his private videos…very simple request will EXPOSE OHIDEN’s criminal family secret…only question is who will get the goods???
4Chan already knows…The Laptop from Hell will verify…
I couldn’t agree more with Don Jr.
Again the American people should be outraged and demand answers from AG Barr on why this was never disclosed earlier to the voting public where things like character, judgement, honestly are key decision points we look for in a potential President.
what about the national security briefings for major nominee?
Dir. Wray and DoJ can’t cover up “The Laptop from Hell” failure…
I’m not sure it would have been proper to bring it up publically just because it was under investigation (with no charges yet). FBI investigates a lot of things without it materializing into wrong-doing.
However, I do think they had a duty to advise Congress (even if classified) of this while they were impeaching a President about it.
That sure sounds like plausible deniability.
Let’s go with that.
It’s apparent that barr has been waiting to see how the election turned out. If biden were to win he would be replaced and off the hook. When PDJT wins there’s three possibilities, 1) he’s fired, 2) he resigns, and 3) he carries on.
If he’s not fired and carries on, will his heart be in it, will he do a proper job leaving no stone upturned. Or will it be the minimum he can get away with.
I’m ready for his firing. Frankly too much has emerged relative to detail and cover up of same. We KNEW he was really slow….and we KNEW he wouldn’t harm the institutions. Now we KNOW he allowed evidence to be covered up (or possibly ordered it so) while allowing Wray and FIB’s latitude on numerous items.
Barr is nearly as gutless as Sessions.

Basement Biden was just told by his lackies that ” the center cannot hold ” and General Caesar Trump has outflanked him on his formerly invincible social /media /entertainment front. Very Well Played, Mr. President.
How long before Twitter blocks Li’l Wayne?
Is this true that VA assigns electors by popular vote? If PDJT wins the popular vote, he is assigned Virginia’s electors? Regardless of their state tally? Wouldn’t that be something that backfired spectacularly on the Dims?
Indeed it would. ?
I will have a chuckle if the felons that Terry McAuliffe allowed to vote…vote for PT.
If I recall there are a few states, mostly D types, that all now require their electors to follow popular vote, including Colorado. Maybe even some of the Western and Eastern states. They all expected the D’s to win, but the overwhelming enthusiasm for President Trump and the complete lack of enthusiasm for Biden and Harris, President Trump could likely win popular vote and then doesn’t his electoral map then explode!
No, NOT Colorado.
I believe the compact will only be when there are enough states that agree to do it that would deliver the required votes to will the electoral vote.
It is a very very bad idea. Popular vote is problem on many levels. Most large country do not elects their head with a direct popular vote. States have different voting standards and even weather which greatly reflects how many people vote in their state. Fly over states and other smaller states would even be ignored even more.
I can tell you from my election administration background that it would be impossible to administer a true popular vote.
This idea was put forward by Hillary, who will be an elector for Biden shortly. Sorry NY MAGAS, I feel your pain. Maybe she will not be able to make the drive to Albany to cast her vote, I am hoping.
Another adherent to the religion of peace strikes again. Sickening.

Retired Magistrate here: In response to sync: U.S. Supreme Court Rule 28 Oral Arguments: Supreme Court justices read the briefs of each side before oral arguments are given before the justices. This gives the justices a chance to ask questions of each side. Assistant Justice Barrett was not on the bench to ask questions when these cases were presented. This would put her at a distinct disadvantage because after reviewing the briefs from each side justices usually do have questions to ask.
Although I was just a Common Pleas Court Magistrate, in many cases I would ask questions from the bench in order to clarify a position that an attorney was presenting so I could make a fair ruling.

Retired Magistrate here: In response to sync: As to whether or not Justice Barrett should recuse herself from further ballot/election cases and reading the article you referenced, I would agree with the author: I see no reason for Justice Barrett to recuse herself from a legal standpoint.
However, that decision is really up to her. I certainly hope she does not recuse. There were several times as a Magistrate that an attorney would ask me to recuse myself; usually for political reasons (didn’t like my previous rulings) and I refused to do so. Those cases went to the Disciplinary counsel of the Ohio Supreme Court and I was upheld. It is really up to the Judge/Magistrate on whether to recuse or not.
With Kavanaugh and Robert is on the dem side….They don’t need Barret.
Thank you for your thoughtful response. Much appreciated.

Tucker just now on TV said “they returned the FLASH DRIVE that was in the envelope” … “but no satisfactory explanation” or something like that
The visual was an assistant holding up a THIN glossy cardboard envelope, the kind with a skinny peel-strip gummy seal, not a heavy manila one with internal stuffing.
So no ream of paper documents was sent, apparently

The answer to lockdowns that aren’t working? More lockdowns!!!!!
From what I have seen Jill was read into a lot of what Hunter was doing. She is not what she tries to portray.
How does Jill know?
Could be that the mothers of the girls complained to her first thinking that she would be understanding.
The way things are going who knows what Jill accepts or doesn’t in her family?
I am so freaking excited that Lil Wayne endorsed Donald J Trump!!!!!!
No, I really am. I love Lil Wayne!!!
