Trump never intended to address the real problems. His tariffs, deep tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations, extraordinary corruption, multiple vanity projects, & war on Iran are benefiting him, his family, & his cronies, while slashing social welfare programs & healthcare. -HCR

Dr. Fauci was instrumental in bringing the AIDS crisis under control. He designed PEPFAR for George Bush, which has saved 26M lives and was dismantled by Donald Trump. And he served again during the COVID-19 pandemic. So I don't want to hear shit about Tony Fauci. -Sarah McQuade

Following Putin's footsteps, Trump makes his attempt towards consolidating a dictatorship in the US under the pretext of "election security." Trump rambled for a full 25 minutes. Yet ironically, the released documents show evidence that Russia and China were helping Trump.

As the 2020 election approaches, the IC has detected Chinese state-sponsored cyber actors targeting the former Vice President's presidential campaign, probably to gather intelligence that could enable future operations, the first instance this election cycle that we have seen them directly targeting a US presidential campaign China has also conducted cyber espionage against other US election-related entities, The IC assesses that China does not currently intend to covertly interfere to try to sway the outcome of the election, although this activity could enable such operations, if Beijing made a decision to do so.We assess that Russia is using a range of measures primarily to denigrate former Vice President Biden and what it sees as an anti-Russia establishment. For example, it is directing or encouraging proxies to spread claims about Vice President Biden. Some Kremlin-linked actors are also seeking to boost President Trump's candidacy on social media. More broadly, Moscow's efforts seek to amplify social discord in the US and undermine Washington's global standing.
We assess that China prefers that President Trump be defeated; in the past few months it has stepped up public rhetoric criticizing his Administration, which it recognizes may affect the election.
Although Beijing did not intend to try to affect the election,
