CNN’S JAKE TAPPER after PETER NAVARRO repeatedly declined to answer his questions, and insulted CNN: “I would just like to remind the American people watching that the United States has less than 5% of the world’s population, and the united States has more than 20% of the world’s coronavirus deaths. That is a fact. It does not matter how many times he insults CNN.”
From CNN Reliable Sources: During the 9pm hour on Fox News Sunday night, host Steve Hilton brought up the indoor event, without noting all of the angst about Trump defying Covid safety precautions. Guest Lisa Marie Boothe praised Trump: “He’s also out there with vigor and energy, ready to tackle another four years, and you’ve got another guy who can’t even leave the basement.” She sounded just like Trump, who tweeted on Saturday, “While I travel the Country, Joe sleeps in his basement.” The only problem? Biden traveled to multiple states last week. And on Sunday he went to church. The “basement” line is becoming more and more of a lie…
I know you were worried about them but you needn’t be. Steve Mnuchin dined at Cale Milano on Sunday. Menu HERE.
Here’s the WAPO’s update on Steve Bannon right HERE.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: “Ka-MA-la, Ka-MA-la. She’s another beauty. She’s rated the No. 1 most liberal, and I would say if [Joe Biden] ever won, she would be president within the first month. Using him is just an excuse to get the super libs in there, so they could destroy our suburbs, demolish our Second Amendment, erase your borders and indoctrinate your children with poisonous anti-American lies in school.” — Trump at a Minden, Nev. rally on Saturday.
Daniel Dale said this is a possible new record: “Trump made four false claims in one sentence…” (CNN)
NEWSOM MEETING THE MOMENT: If some progressives wanted a Gavin vs. Donald smackdown, they didn’t get it. Newsom made his case — respectfully. “We can agree to disagree on the politics,” Newsom told Trump, “but one thing is fundamental: 57 percent of the land in this state is federal and 3 percent is state forests.” Read the full transcript of the meeting.
I‘m still ashamed I didn’t vote for him.
Well, you know, it’s hard to know ahead of time what someone will be like in office, and no place more difficult for that than in state politics, too often a circus, so I don’t think you should feel badly.
The future is what counts, right? So I am especially thinking today. And for that circus aspect, actually this medium-sized country we live in is much less a circus than most, and I think especially with Brown then Newsome.
Given one accepts to some degree ‘about’ human-apparent-everywhere-now politics, of course…!
Cheers, Julie,
