to be sure

 “As vice president, I'm President of the Senate. And I'm gonna be in the chair because I wouldn't miss that vote for the world," he said. "And I'll make you a prediction, come this Monday night, Judge Amy Coney Barrett is going to be Justice Amy Coney Barrett. We're gonna fill that seat.”…

 

AND, in the meanwhile….Four of Vice President Mike Pence's advisers, including his chief of staff and senior political adviser, have tested positive for Covid-19…On Friday, Wisconsin reported a seven-day rolling average of its positivity rate: 22.7 percent. "The people we're seeing in here are very sick," nurse Katie Lanoway said. "They are lonely. They are dealing with this alone and it's becoming increasingly harder for us to try to manage and playing all these different roles: playing the nurse, playing the support person. It's very difficult.”

 

AND, in case it has slipped your mind…Lawyers appointed by a federal judge to identify migrant families who were separated by the Trump Administration say that they have yet to track down the parents of 545 children and that about two-thirds of those parents were deported to Central America without their children according to a filing Tuesday from the American Civil Liberties Union.

 

AND, of course, not…With just 10 days left until the November 3, election, negotiators in Congress still haven't passed a new coronavirus relief check, missing the Friday deadline set to agree on the bill's language to get it into law before Election Day. Lead negotiators House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin are still working to come together on an agreement either before -- or, more likely, after -- the election, to get a second stimulus check of up to $1200 out to eligible Americans amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic

 

So to be sure America, and the people who still think Trump and the GOP have made America great and will continue to make it greater, and to the Christian Evangelical Conservatives, who insist their God loves life, not necessarily the life outside of the womb, the PRIORITY seems to be eliminating a fair and balanced Supreme Court, blowing up the wall between church and state, inviting Herd Immunity into the United States, permitting Conspiracy Theorists to set policy, ignore any or all matters of law, the truth, science or medicine, and embrace a man and a political party conniving and concocting every conceivable trick to enhance the demise of democracy and embrace the rise of a dystopian dictator! All Hail Satan, as it might be stated!
