1. "If they don't do what we want, we have tremendous power" - Video:

“They should investigate the Bidens,” Trump said. “Likewise, China should start an investigation into the Bidens, because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine.”

Trump pulled China into the brewing controversy just one week before a Chinese delegation was set to arrive in Washington to resume protracted trade negotiations. Administration officials have for many months signaled optimism about reaching a sweeping deal with China that addresses issues including trade deficits and intellectual property theft, and Trump told the U.N. General Assembly last week that he will not accept a “bad deal with China.

“I have a lot of options on China, but if they don’t do what we want, we have tremendous power,” Trump said outside the White House on Thursday morning.

What exactly does Trump think that China needs to investigate? I can't keep up with all the accusations. News is moving too fast these days.

8. Time for another Pelosi/Schiff press conference to make the following statement:
Thu Oct 3, 2019, 12:41 PM
Oct 2019

"The president of the United States is openly breaking the law. Transparent illegality is still illegality. Do not be fooled by his obvious attempt to make collusion with a foreign government acceptable or normal. He is breaking the law, he is committing multiple impeachable offenses and he will be held accountable. Again, transparent illegality is still illegality. One would hope that Republicans agree. Thank you. We will now take a few questions."

This wouldn't bother me if Washington Post didn't try to derail Sanders campaign for making the same mistake a lot of other people make.

Mental health patients to Bernie Sanders: Don’t compare us to the GOP candidates

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/03/07/mental-health-patients-to-bernie-sanders-dont-compare-us-to-the-gop-candidates/

I have mental health issues myself but still support Sanders probably because I'm not a purist.
