Republicans Are Willing To Use the Science They Claim To Hate
Donald Trump was on television this morning sounding manic but not coughing. It seems he's gotten another steroid shot and is feeling better. He attributes his recovery, or has in the last week, to the new monoclonal antibody cocktail from Regeneron that he took early in the course of his disease. And it may well be a wonder drug.

Thursday's Daily Stack
Hour One: VP Debate & Trump's Manic Morning....
Tweet: " So, a fun art history fact! Flies are used to represent rot, wasting away, decay, death, melancholia.
A fly hovering over a church official or nobleman indicates disfavor with the king or corruption and dereliction of duty." by Jennifer Wright.
Tweet: " @TheSaltyLiberal account got suspended for this... let that sink in: If that fly laid eggs in Pence's hair he better carry them to full term" by Rebel Owl.
Republicans are willing to use the science they claim to hate
Tweet: " Democracy isn't the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that." by Mike Lee.
Quote: " I don't believe the polls. Because we've never had this much support. They have a boat thing, they have 5,000 boats. They have thousands of trucks all over the country." - Donald J. Trump.
Case: " Bush v. Gore", 2000. " The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States"
Tweet: " The word "democracy" appears nowhere in the Constitution, perhaps because our form of government is not a democracy. It's a constitutional republic. To me it matters. It should matter to anyone who worries about the excessive accumulation of power in the hands of the few." by Mike Lee.
Quote: " A NATION, without a NATIONAL GOVERNMENT, is, in my view, an awful spectacle." - Alexander Hamilton.
Quote: " I dread the more the consequences of new attempts, because I know that powerful individuals, in this and in other States, are enemies to a general national government in every possible shape." - Alexander Hamilton.
Case: " Bush v. Gore", 2000. " The counting of votes that are of questionable legality does in my view threaten irreparable harm to petitioner Bush"
Article: " Constitution of the United States", article 3 section 2. "... In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make...."
Hour Three: Remember back when Trump Said "Liberate Michigan?" Plot to Kidnap Gov. Whitmer Exposed...
Bible: "So Cain went out from the LORD's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch." - Genesis 4:16 - 17.
