Steve Schmidt, a co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, declared that a fly that landed on Vice President Pence during Wednesday night's debate "is always seen as a mark of the devil," drawing mockery on social media.

"I don't think it's ever a good sign when a fly lands on your head for two minutes," the MSNBC contributor, who managed the late Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) 2008 presidential run, said during post-debate coverage on the network early Thursday.

"That's a sign all through history of sin, and historically, biblically, maybe you wouldn't normally say this — it’s only safe to say this after midnight ... but a fly, he who commands the fly is always seen historically as a mark of the devil," Schmidt added.

Host Ari Melber chuckled at the comment before asking Schmidt to confirm that he was joking and noting that the fly could have landed on anyone.

"But it didn’t. It landed on Mike Pence. And it says something, maybe something karmic about the status of the campaign as it implodes," Schmidt said, appearing to be serious.

"On the fact check, what Steve Schmidt has said about the [polling] numbers is true. What he said about the ultimate moral reckoning of whether the fly connotes evil or devil or Nosferatu is above my pay grade. But I can’t confirm it," Melber said in response.

Is It Time to Call in the U.N. Elections Monitors?

I'm serious. This is a job for those folks that Jimmy Carter ran with overseas, who knew kabuki democracy when it punched them in the nose. In yet another sentence I never thought I'd write: Tom Friedman is right. The call to ratfcking is right out in the open now, straight from the Truman balcony and streaming outward, like industrial runoff into a river, to all points of the compass.

But Friedman is too limited in his thinking. While the president* has brought it out into the open, rigging elections through manifestly discriminatory means has been a vital part of Republican electoral strategy since William Rehnquist was bullyragging Hispanic voters in Arizona back in the early 1960s. It has reached a positive frenzy ever since Chief Justice John Roberts declared the Day of Jubilee in Shelby County v. Holder. Now, all that's different is that nobody is pretending any more.

Biden will win, polls say. But the stock market is sending a different signal

Since 1928, whenever the S&P 500 Index of the largest U.S. stocks has risen in the three months prior to a presidential election, the party that controlled the White House won 90% of the time. It has risen.

“If you think about it intuitively, it makes sense,” says Julian Emanuel, chief equity and derivative strategist for the investment firm BTIG who compiled the data. “Because a rising stock market tends to be a ratification of the present policies being satisfying to the investing public.”

McSally will have the distinction of having lost both Senate seats for Arizona.

Kelly is running exclusively against McSally’s policies and record, and has never attacked her personally.

On the other side however, McSally reduced herself continuously to personal and laughably false slander against Kelly.

‘He’s getting a bit desperate’: Trump tramples government boundaries as election nears
As his fundraising has slipped, Trump has upped his use of federal resources to compensate.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/15/trump-tramples-government-bou
ndaries-as-election-nears-429487

The farther behind Donald Trump has fallen in the competition for campaign dollars, the more he’s milked government resources to make up the difference.

Millions of boxes of food doled out to needy families — with letters signed by the president taking credit stuffed inside. An $8 billion program for drug-discount cards to seniors featuring Trump branding — intended to arrive before the Nov. 3 election. A $300 million advertising blitz to "defeat despair" over the coronavirus pandemic — the biggest threat to Trump’s reelection.

Each of those initiatives have two things in common: They’re paid for with taxpayer money, and they are plainly intended to help Trump’s flagging reelection campaign. The actions are just the latest examples of how the president has eviscerated the traditional boundaries separating politics from government.

Christian Group Hits Trump: ‘The Days Of Using Our Faith For Your Benefit Are Over’

A new bipartisan Christian super PAC is taking on President Donald Trump with a new ad that accuses him of hypocrisy when it comes to matters of faith.

“Mr. President, the days of using our faith for your benefit are over,” the ad from Not Our Faith warns. “We know you need the support of Christians like us to win this election. But you can’t have it.”

The spot also accuses Trump of “using Christianity for his own purposes,” and shows footage of his Bible-toting photo op in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church, across from the White House, after having peaceful protesters teargassed to clear the area for him.

Stephanopoulos was clearly a bit frustrated at times at Biden’s somewhat mealy-mouthed responses. But there was nothing wrong with the answers. They just weren’t very newsworthy. Biden’s policy positions have been articulated for months, but evidently not everyone in America has paid attention, so they had some questions about them. So then Biden answered them.

No news was made, and all of Biden’s views themselves are kind of boring and typical. You could imagine him doing a lot of events like this and most people not finding them very interesting.

The dirty secret of Donald Trump’s often contentious relationship with the American press is that he’s been great for business.

Any time you point a camera at Trump, something crazy might happen.

It Took Savannah Guthrie 19 Minutes to Give Trump His Toughest Grilling in Years

The president praised QAnon and got fact-checked to his face for lying about the pandemic.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/10/savannah-guthrie-trump-tow
n-hall-grilling.html

Before the Miami crowd got its turn, host Savannah Guthrie interviewed Trump directly, appearing to respond to criticism of the network’s decision to hand Trump air time by giving the president one of the most intense grillings of his four years in office.

Guthrie pressed the president on details related to his own experience with COVID-19, his baffling evasiveness when asked to condemn white supremacy, and the QAnon conspiracy theory, which Trump declined to condemn but did say, “I do know they are very much against pedophilia, they fight it very hard.” While Trump tried to fall back on his usual bluster, Guthrie was a cheerful but firm interviewer, returning again and again to the facts and details of Trump’s answers. As usual, Trump attempted to lie through the barrage of tough questions—and almost every time got pinned down by an interviewer who didn’t back off. At one point, after Guthrie parried one of Trump’s attempts to undermine a question’s premise, the president replied, “So cute.”

Trump tried to paint a misleading portrait of the United States’ handling of the pandemic, and Guthrie pushed back, citing the country’s high COVID mortality rate. After another back-and-forth, Guthrie asked about the White House’ approach. Trump became defensive, refused to answer her question about herd immunity, blamed China for the pandemic, and boasted that his administration had avoided the predictions of more than 2 million deaths. “That 2 million figure, though, is if you literally do nothing,” Guthrie pointed out. “The question is, should the deaths be better than 200,000 when, relative to the rest of the world we have the worst death rate?”

Guthrie then brought up another one of Trump’s nonanswers from a previous debate. Trump has declined to say he would accept a peaceful transfer of power should he lose the election. “You have said repeatedly, ‘the only way we lose this election is if it is rigged.’’ she said. “Now, that is simply not true. The fact is either candidate can lose fair and square without ballot fraud. So will you accept the results of the election?”

Trump responded by claiming that there was widespread voter fraud, citing rumors. Guthrie cut him off.

Guthrie: That is a handful … A single case here, a single there. We’re talking about 150 million votes. Your own FBI Director said there’s no evidence of widespread fraud.

Trump: Oh, really? Then he’s not doing a great job.

He then cited false numbers of supposed fraud then claimed, baselessly, that “they” spied on his campaign.

After the interview portion, Trump took questions from voters, with follow-ups from Guthrie. Among other topics, the president said he did not know whether any of the hundreds of millions of dollars he owes is to foreign entities, and that he has a plan to replace Obamacare, which he does not.

THE GREAT OZ HAS SPOKEN! Rupert Murdoch Predicts a Landslide Win for Biden

The Australian mogul is disgusted by Trump’s handling of COVID-19, remarking that the president is his own worst enemy and telling associates “people are ready for Sleepy Joe.”

President Trump’s influential supporter Rupert Murdoch is telling close associates he believes Joe Biden will win the election in a landslide.

Murdoch had long prized having unfettered access to the White House, much like the direct line he has enjoyed to leaders in Australia and the U.K. But people familiar with the matter say the two men have not spoken in several weeks after Murdoch grew tired of Trump’s endless complaints about what the president viewed as negative coverage on Fox News.

Friends say Murdoch has never taken Trump seriously and his association with him is out of business necessity. He once tweeted, “When is Donald Trump going to stop embarrassing his friends, let alone the whole country?”

This isn’t the first time Murdoch has predicted a Democratic landslide, telling a conference in 2008 that Obama would win the election in a convincing victory.

The question that continues to be asked is how Fox News and its prime-time stars, who have gone all out for Trump, will react to the Nov. 3 verdict and who the Murdochs look to back in 2024, with insiders talking up the prospect of one of their own — Tucker Carlson — making a run for the White House.

Giuliani concluded the essay by warning voters not to be complacent.

“We are hanging by a single, slipping finger on a cliff’s edge, and the fall will be fatal. If we remove ourselves from the fight, our country will be in freefall,” Giuliani wrote. “Alternatively, we can hang on, elect a compassionate and decent president, and claw our way back onto the ledge. If I, after decades of despair over politics, can engage in our democracy to meet this critical moment, I know you can too.”

Fox News’ "Election Integrity Project" is a ploy to boost Trump’s conspiracy theories, insider says
Fox News insiders explain the network's new plot to legitimize Trump's baseless election fraud conspiracy
https://www.salon.com/2020/10/16/fox-news-election-integrity-project-i
s-a-ploy-to-boost-trumps-conspiracy-theories-insider-says_partner/

Sources within Fox News warn that this is motivated to lend Trump's attacks on the election legitimacy.

"Officially, it looks like an attempt to report on election irregularities," said a source familiar with the Election Integrity Project. "What it feels like is an attempt to push more baseless conspiracy theories and scare the viewers into thinking the election is being 'stolen.' It isn't. It's alarming that the Brain Room is a part of this, like it's an attempt to give it an air of legitimacy. I don't recall ever seeing anything like this before."

Trump has repeatedly and baselessly claimed that mail-in ballots are fraudulent, will be stolen or duplicated in large numbers, and will corrupt the election. He has also increasingly attacked Fox News itself, accusing the right-leaning network of disloyalty to him.

At the same moment that Trump was refusing to disavow QAnon, Biden on ABC was saying that "when a president doesn't wear a mask, or makes fun of folks like me when I was wearing a mask for a long time, then people say it mustn't be that important." A jarring contrast.

This was, again and again, Biden’s point: The words of the president matter. The behavior of the president matters. The comportment of the president matters. The example of the president matters. Biden talks policy often and reasonably well, but he hasn’t been putting on a clinic in wonkery; he’s been putting on a clinic in decency. And it matters. It shouldn’t — decency should be table stakes, too unremarkable to mention — but right now, it does.

The question isn’t whether the president is a policy genius, a orator, a historic legislative tactician, or a masterful manager. It’s whether he’s a white supremacist. Whether he’s a conspiracy theorist. Whether he’s a liar. Whether he’s extorting foreign governments to investigate domestic rivals. Whether he is a Covid-19 superspreader.

Trump, Not Much of a Reader, Tweets Story From Satirical Site Touting Itself as “Fake News You Can Trust”
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/10/trump-tweets-twitter-story
-satirical-site-the-babylon-bee.html

Often, Donald Trump does dumb things that make you feel like you’re losing your mind because he gets a pass and somehow this is the real world now. Sometimes, however, Donald Trump does something super-duper dumb that manages to perfectly encapsulate how dumb everything he says and does is, and those rare instances provide a moment of cosmic clarity—and are far more gratifying than I’d like to admit. On Friday, President Donald Trump, not much of a reader, tweeted out an article from the Babylon Bee, a satirical news site with a Christian bent, that describes itself as “fake news you can trust.” And in that moment, Trump managed to throw himself a perfectly timed alley-oop, which he leapt to grab midair, double-pump, and dunk … on himself … on the wrong basket.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday made a new offer to extend the last remaining nuclear arms treaty with the U.S. before it expires in February, but President Donald Trump's top security adviser called it a "non-starter".

He followed up his remarks with a post on Twitter in which he made clear the U.S. will not accept the new Russian offer.

Trump is being obstinate because Obama negotiated the treaty, so Trump has to tear it up and throw it away in order to prove that Trump is a superior negotiator compared to Obama.

Former White House chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, has told friends about Trump: "The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it's more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life."

A new CNN special scheduled to air Sunday night, "The Insiders: A Warning from Former Trump Officials," in which former senior administration officials -- including former national security adviser John Bolton, former Health and Human Services scientist Rick Bright and former Department of Homeland Security general counsel John Mitnick -- explain why they think the President is unfit for office.

Olivia Troye, a former top adviser to Vice President Mike Pence, has said the President knew about the impact the coronavirus pandemic would have on the US by mid-February, but that "he didn't want to hear it, because his biggest concern was that we were in an election year."

On Friday, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney took to Twitter again to attack Trump's refusal to denounce QAnon during last night's nationally-televised town town hall in Miami.

When questioned by NBC's Savannah Guthrie about QAnon, Trump said he knew nothing about it, but said "I do know they are very much against pedophilia."

Guthrie followed up by saying, "You do know," but Trump insisted he did not.

QAnon believes a group of political and Hollywood elites run a worldwide child sex-trafficking rink and that Trump will stop them.

In his Tweet, Romney said the president's "unwillingness to denounce an absurd and dangerous conspiracy theory last night continues an alarming pattern: politicians and parties refuse to forcefully and convincingly repudiate groups like antifa, white supremacists, and conspiracy peddlers."

Donald Trump Has At Least $1 Billion In Debt, More Than Twice The Amount He Suggested

No aspect of Donald Trump’s business has been the subject of more speculation than his debt load. Lots of people believe the president owes $400 million, especially after Trump seemed to agree with that figure on national television Thursday night. In reality, however, he owes more than $1 billion.

The loans are spread out over more than a dozen different assets — hotels, buildings, mansions and golf courses. Most are listed on the financial disclosure report Trump files annually with the federal government. Two, which add up to an estimated $447 million, are not.

Some people also like to suggest that Deutsche Bank is the only institution willing to lend to Trump. That’s not true. The president’s creditors include at least six other institutions, two of which began or reworked deals while the president was in office.

One reason for all the confusion: Trump’s loans are not fully transparent. It’s still unclear to whom he owes an estimated $162 million against his skyscraper in San Francisco, for example. The loan against 1290 Avenue of the Americas is also something of a mystery. And it’s difficult to pin down the amount the president owes on a loan tied to his Bedford, New York, mansion. When asked about all of this, the Trump Organization did not respond.

Here’s what we know — and don’t know — about the president’s debt.

Welcome to Day 1366.

Today in one sentence: The U.S. passed 8 million coronavirus cases three weeks after passing the 7 million case mark; U.S. intelligence agencies warned the White House – twice – last year that Rudy Giuliani was the target of a Russian influence operation; federal investigators are examining whether the emails allegedly describing Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine and China are linked to a foreign intelligence operation; Trump and Biden held simultaneous town halls on competing TV networks in instead of a second presidential debate; and Trump earnestly shared a story from a satirical news site claiming that Twitter had “shut down its entire social network” to stop the spread of negative news about Biden.

Bernie Sanders: Is this a democracy or an oligarchy? Sheldon Adelson, a multi-billionaire, is contributing $176 million to elect candidates who represent the rich and powerful. Billionaires should not be buying elections. We must overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.

Trump loses to Biden in town hall TV ratings war despite being shown on two more networks
Defeat will likely enrage US president who has long obsessed over media popularity

Donald Trump has lost his latest TV ratings war with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who amassed around 600,000 more viewers than the US president during their competing town halls earlier this week.

The lagging ratings will come as a blow to Mr Trump, who has long obsessed over his own popularity and has regularly weaponised the supposedly poor TV ratings of other media figures to mock them on social media.

Trump says the quiet part out loud: He’s losing

He’s mused out loud about an embarrassing 2020 defeat. He’s acknowledged his severe deficit in key polls. And he’s made naked appeals to the critical voting blocs of suburban women and older adults — two demographics he has struggled to win over.

“Twenty-three people were shot in El Paso for just being Latin,” he said, referencing the mass shooting in Texas last year. “And you don’t care so you’re going to vote for this braggadocio president?”
