George T. Conway III is a conservative Republican who co-founded The Lincoln Project. He is a contributor to the Washington Post, where this satirical column appeared.
He writes:
I believe, more than ever, in the president.
I believe Sleepy Joe Biden and that “monster” Kamala D. Harris would turn America into a “socialist hellhole,” and we’d all have “to speak Chinese.” I believe they “want to take out the cows” and “any form of animals.” There will be “no airplanes,” they’ll “rip down the Empire State Building,” and we’ll only have “little, tiny windows.”
I believe Sleepy Joe leads an “organized crime family.” I believe he and President Barack Obama committed “the greatest political crime in the history of our country,” and it will be “a very sad, sad situation” if the attorney general doesn’t indict them.
I believe Hunter Biden is a criminal, because someone got hold ofhis “laptop from hell,” and because of some guy named Bobulinski, whoever he is. I believe Fake News reporters are also criminals because they won’t report this.
I believe the laptop didn’t come from Russian intelligence. I believe Hunter Biden flew from his home in Los Angeles to Philadelphia, and then took a train to Delaware, because he needed a legally blind repairman there to fix his laptop. I believe Rudy Giuliani when he says the odds are “no better than 50/50”he worked with a Russian agent to dig up dirt on the Bidens.
I believe “the president knows all about this” dirt-digging, so all the dirt must be true. I believe Giuliani may have been duped by fake Kazakh rubes but could never be conned by real Russian spies.
I believe Giuliani was just tucking in his shirt.
I believe the president doesn’t know much about QAnon other than “they like me very much,” and that it’s not “a bad thing” they are “very much against pedophilia.” I believe people should be able to make up their own minds whether Biden had Seal Team Six killed to cover up the faking of Osama bin Laden’s death.
I believe Harris is “nasty,” a “communist” and a “madwoman.” I believe we can’t have “a socialist president — especially a female socialist president.” I believe she has a funny name, and it’s possible “she doesn’t meet the requirements” for the vice presidency because her parents were born abroad.
I believe the president is the “least racist person” in any room he’s in. I believe it was fine for him to tell the Proud Boys to “stand by,” because “somebody’s got to do something about antifa and the left.” I believe “corona” sounds like a “beautiful seaside island in Italy,” and so we must say “China plague.”
I believe the president has already announced his new, “incredible” health care plan, and it’s something “nobody has seen … before.” But I believe if it hasn’t been announced yet, it will be “very soon,” perhaps in two weeks. I believe that the president will improve on Obamacare by getting the Supreme Court to “end it,” which would be “so good.”
I believe it was the strategy of a stable genius for the president to urge Congress to pass a stimulus bill, and then, three days later, refuse to negotiate one, and then, seven hours after that, demand Congress “IMMEDIATELY Approve” one.
I believe the president was “not looking to be dishonest” about the China virus and that he played it down because he didn’t want “to create a panic.” I also believe he “up-played” it. I believe he doesn’t and shouldn’t “take responsibility at all” for his handling of it, but that he does take “full responsibility” and that it’s not his fault.
I believe the virus “affects virtually nobody,” and that the death count would be “very low” if we didn’t count Democrat states. I believe doctors and hospitals have overcounted deaths because they “get more money” for doing so.
I believe we’re “rounding the final turn” with the virus and that we have more new cases than ever because we have “the best testing in the world by far.” I believe other countries test only “when somebody comes into the hospital and throws up all over the floor.”
I believe we will develop “herd mentality,” which will make the virus “go away.” I believe a vaccine is “ready,” coming “momentarily,” “within weeks.” And I believe Deborah Birx is “Pathetic!” for saying the virus was “extraordinarily widespread,” that Anthony S. Fauci, who has “been here for 500 years,” is a “disaster,” and that all the scientists are “idiots.”
I believe the Fake News people are “dumb bastards” because “all they cover” is “covid, covid, pandemic, covid, covid,” because “they’re trying to scare everybody” from voting. I believe it “should be an election law violation!” I believe that “on November 4, you won’t hear about it anymore.”
I believe “the Fake News only shows the Fake Polls.” That includes Fox News, whose polls are “totally FAKE.” I believe a “SILENT MAJORITY!” supports the president — look at all those boaters. I believe he has a 96 percent approval rating among Republicans — up from 93 percent, 94 percent and 95 percent.
I believe “the ballots are out of control,” and people should vote by mail and then vote again in person, to test the system. I believe the only way the president will lose “is if the election is rigged” and that he’s right not to commit to a peaceful transfer of power.
I believe the president will not only win, but he’ll also “negotiate” a third term, which he’s entitled to because Obama and Biden spied on him.
I believe that if the president somehow does lose, he might “have to leave the country.” I believe he probably should.
I believe Giuliani was just tucking in his shirt.

He has said all of those things and many more yet almost all Republicans believe that Trump deserves to be elected again, otherwise they would be screaming to have him removed from office. The silence is deafening.
Shame on the Republicans that have licked his boots and ridden on his filthy coattails. They put party ahead of country.
Yes, Laura.

You should get a job as a speech writer for Obama who was mocking Trump today in Flint, Michigan. He knows how to rattle Trump’s fragile ego. And no, Obama didn’t drink the water this time.
Obama? He was born in Kenya, you know.
BTW: He didn’t drink the water last time, either.
At this point, though, dwelling on the past solves nothing. Just get Joe & Kamala elected, & we’ll deal w/all of that after. (I voted early for the first time in years, as my polling place was changed, & I wanted to make sure to get it done w/no problems at the new one, even though I still maintain that paper is safer, & you can only do that on E. Day.) We now have AOC, & the Squad working with Bernie to hold Dems’ feet to the fire.
Plus masses in the street.
oops. That should be “We should send astronauts to the sun”
LMAO.
A Floridian slip?
HA!
Floridian Slips
Astronauts to the moon?
A silly proposition
Dish eloped with the spoon
Is smarter supposition
How many people get the satire? Some would believe it to be facts.
…………………………………………
The United States, after battling the coronavirus for eight months, recorded over 99,000 new cases on Friday, a global record. Two dozen states reported their worst weeks for new cases; none showed any improvement.
The numbers cap the country’s worst week for virus cases, with more than 500,000 new cases overall. The country also passed nine million infections since the pandemic started.
……………………………………
After Trump accuses doctors of profiteering, medical professionals push back.
At a rally in Michigan on Friday, President Trump repeated an extraordinary and unfounded claim that American doctors were profiteering from coronavirus deaths.
“You know our doctors get more money if somebody dies from Covid,” Mr. Trump said, adding that in Germany and other countries, deaths were characterized differently if there appeared to be multiple causes.
“With us, when in doubt, choose Covid,” he said.
Medical professionals and organizations quickly denounced those comments and lauded the work of nurses, doctors and other health care workers, many of whom have risked their lives and worried about the health of their families as they cared for people who were infected with the coronavirus.
“The suggestion that doctors — in the midst of a public health crisis — are overcounting Covid-19 patients or lying to line their pockets is a malicious, outrageous and completely misguided charge,” Susan R. Bailey, the president of the American Medical Association, said in a statement on Friday.
“Rather than attacking us and lobbing baseless charges at physicians, our leaders should be following the science and urging adherence to the public health steps we know work — wearing a mask, washing hands and practicing physical distancing,” she added.
Misleading claims about inflated death counts related to the coronavirus surfaced as early as April.
Coronavirus cases are rising in Michigan as a third wave of infections spreads across the country. This week, the state recorded a 91 percent increase in new cases from the average two weeks earlier.
Mr. Trump made a similar false claim about physicians at a campaign rally on Oct. 24 in Wisconsin — another state that has seen a surge in cases this month — when he said that “doctors get more money, and hospitals get more money” for reporting more deaths due to the coronavirus.
That prompted a backlash from organizations including the Society of Hospital Medicine, the Council of Medical Specialty Societies and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
“These baseless claims not only do a disservice to our health care heroes but promulgate the dangerous wave of misinformation which continues to hinder our nation’s efforts to get the pandemic under control and allow our nation to return to normalcy,” the American College of Emergency Physicians said in a statement on Sunday.
On the campaign trail, the president has often declared that the virus was vanishing — even as case counts soared — and attacked Democratic governors and other local officials for keeping public-health restrictions in place.

Today’s outrage, from Politico:
The Agriculture Department last week began mandating that millions of boxes of surplus food for needy families include a letter from President Donald Trump claiming credit for the program.
The USDA’s $4 billion Farmers to Families Food Box Program has distributed more than 100 million boxes to those in need since May, with the aim of redirecting meat, dairy and produce that might normally go to restaurants and other food-service businesses. But organizations handing out the aid complain the program is now being used to bolster Trump’s image a month before a high-stakes election
Outrage of the Day 2: A bunch of Trumpeteers in trucks surrounded a Biden campaign bus and slowed down so that it couldn’t move. Trump spawn Donald Trump, Jr., sent them congratulations and directed them to a nearby Harris campaign event.
Despicable!. Pathetic!
Hospitalizations from COVID-19 have grown since Gov. Eric Holcomb [R-IN] announced on Sept. 23 his decision to lift nearly all of Indiana’s COVID-19 restrictions while extending the statewide mask mandate.
How interesting that one early voter had to wait in line for 3 hours to cast her vote. Something stinks when anyone has to wait in line for 3 hours to cast a vote.
AND a federal appeals court rejected a lawsuit from a voting-rights group to extend the deadline that says all mail-in ballots have to be IN THE COUNTY ELECTION OFFICES by noon on Nov. 3 or they won’t be counted.
…………………………………………………..
[NWI Times] Indiana’s 1.5M-plus early votes expected to delay results
…“I’m not alone in this, but I’m very aware of how historic this election is … with Donald Trump, the coronavirus, a notably divided country — it’s all so critical,” said Brenda Kirkham, 54, who waited more than three hours to cast her vote on the northside of Indianapolis Friday afternoon. “I’ll be darned if I don’t weigh in and get my ballot in, and I might as well do it early.”…
Early voting continues through the weekend across Indiana and ends Monday at noon local time. Mail-in ballots must arrive in county election offices by noon Tuesday in order to be counted after a federal appeals court rejected a lawsuit from a voting-rights group to extend that deadline.
The last chance to vote will be at in-person voting sites that are open 6 a.m.-6 p.m. local time Tuesday.
The sheer volume of early votes — 43% more than four years ago — has election officials warning it could take more than one day to tally them all, possibly delaying determination of some winners.
“The increased number of absentee ballots could cause a delay in reporting results on Election Night,” said secretary of state Connie Lawson said Friday. “Please be patient and know that election administrators across the state are working tirelessly to calculate results.”…

Here is a comment by my brother. He, really, is a nice guy IF you keep him off of politics and religion. The far R like to call Biden “Bite-me”. How intellectual.
I’m not buying into Satan’s lies [whatever that means] but I do recognize Trump’s continuing lies. How does one fight thinking like this? Facts don’t matter. Gee, I’m in a cult from the pits of hell. Glad most of the commentators on Diane’s site are in there with me.
………..
So then how stupid are you? Trump is not perfect, but Bite-me is even worse, much worse!! So you’re the expert on Satan and Jesus and think you’re a god? I know what the bible says, I don’t make crap up like you do! You want me to put scripture to my statements? I can do that, no problem. I don’t think it would do you any good as long as you are willingly to buying out to Satan’s lies.
Jesus is my Lord and Savior, this cult you’re involved in is a lie from the pits of hell. You’re going to stand before Christ one day and what are you going to say, that you’re a god too. I don’t think so. Get a clue just for once in your hateful life.
