In a conference call with reporters after the debate, Biden’s communications director and deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, announced that the campaign raised $3.8m between 10pm and 11pm through ActBlue, the Democratic grassroots fundraising site.

“Tonight we broke the single-hour record for a campaign ever on ActBlue,” Bedingfield said. “And we broke our own hour record and raised $3.8m between 10 o’clock and 11 o’clock.”

is $$$$ a measure of Biden's performance?
Rather a lane thing really as one might expect them to tackle Drumph's actual policies - which are so awful?

Trump, RINOs and CINOs

The Donald and his wife both test positive for Covid 19. Words fail me, other than to hope they make a full recovery. What of the administration? Will it have to go into lockdown? The debates? The world unravels. Will Pense take over or is he contaminated as well? The questions keep coming.

Karma can be a bitch.

His doctor says I expect the president to continue carrying out his duties without disruption while recovering, and I will keep you updated on any future developments, however if he is unable to work we get Acting President Pence. If Pence is sick we get Pelosi.

I wish the old man well. I hope he develops no symptoms or mild symptoms and we get a fair fight in five weeks time.

Absolutely no cause for alarm. The President will just be WFH(*) for a few days.

What's the difference between the Green New Deal and the Biden New Deal?

Anyone know?

"The greatest difference between the Biden Plan and the Green New Deal lies in their stances on the Paris Agreement, an international agreement established in 2015 with the central aim of coordinating and strengthening the global response to climate change and keeping the global temperature rise in this century below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Whereas the Biden Plan promises a recommitment to the Paris Agreement, the Green New Deal does not mention it at all. When it comes to clean energy, the Green New Deal and the Biden Plan are similar in that they aim to achieve 100% clean energy and net-zero emissions, but the former sets forth a 10-year mobilization deadline, whereas the Biden Plan sets a goal of no later than 2050. Both plans establish priorities for investment in clean energy innovation and research; however, the Biden Plan is far vaguer. The Green New Deal goes into greater detail, specifying that those investments should include infrastructure and industry, sustainable farming and land-use practices, zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, manufacturing public transit, removing greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing and industry, and the research and development of new clean and renewable energy technologies."

Transforming the U.S. Energy Sector

"The cost of transforming the U.S. electrical system, which currently gets 62 percent of its power from coal and natural gas plants that are in perfectly good operating condition and replacing them with non-carbon emitting generating resources—most likely wind and solar power—and obtaining the necessary grid upgrades and the back-up battery power needed when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining would be an immense and expensive task in just 14 years. Add to that the further transition to carbon neutrality that Biden’s platform expects to achieve by 2050, which means transforming the entire transportation and industrial sectors in the United States to non-carbon fuels, and one can easily see how the costs add up.

The United States currently gets 80 percent of its energy from fossil fuels that are abundant and affordable and American-made. Last year, the United States produced more energy than it consumed for the first time in over 60 years. Transforming the transportation sector that includes 280 million light duty vehicles and gets over 90 percent of its energy from petroleum products to non-carbon and adding all the infrastructure needed would be a phenomenal undertaking that must occur in 30 years, according to the Biden plan."

Notes on a timeline

Saturday 26/09. A packed event at the White House Rose Garden formally to nominate Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court. Against Washington DC mandates, few masks were worn, there was little social distancing, and people were seated in close proximity. Of those at the event, so far Kellyanne Conway, Senator Mike Lee, Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, Rev John Jenkins, the president of Notre Dame University, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien and Senator Thom Tillis have all subsequently tested positive for COVID-19. Not to mention Mr and Mrs Trump. Sounds like a super spreader event to me.

Tuesday 29/09 Debate day. Team Trump arrived too late for the agreed pre-debate testing and were taken at their word that they were negative. The agreed debate protocol was for everyone in the audience to wear masks however many amongst Trump's family removed theirs and refused offers of replacements from the venue's staff. All associated with Biden remained masked up. During the debate, Trump mocked Biden for his use of masks.

Wednesday 30/09 Trump flies to Maryland for a fundraiser and rally. On the return flight to Washington presidential aide Hope Hicks develops symptoms and the crew do their best to quarantine her.

Thursday 01/10 The White House learns that Hicks has tested positive just as Marine One was taking off for Bedminster, New Jersey for another fundraiser ($250k a plate, deadly virus optional). Some staff are pulled from the helicopter but Trump proceeded to the event - flouting CDC guidelines.

Friday 02/10 12:54am Trump tweets his and Melania's positive test results. Initially his symptoms are described as 'mild', this is later walked back and it emerges that he had a fever and his Oxygen levels had 'dropped rapidly'.

Saturday 03/10Trump's doctors reveals he has been prescribed dexamethasone, a steroid usually reserved for patients with serious disease.

A week is a long time in politics.

- Harold Wilson.

It is what it is

- Donald Trump on the US COVID then 1,000 a day death toll.

Oh October 5: non sequitur day!

The White House has released photos of the president hard at work in two different rooms in his medical suite. Metadata was not scrubbed from the images and it shows they were taken 10 minutes apart. So he sat down in one room, signed a blank piece of paper for the photo, walked next door, took off his jacket and shuffled some empty folders for the next photo. I bet there's a stack of these images banked for release over the next few days.

Amateurs.
