Pompeo isn't saying anything new (he's lying....) he's using the shiny "Israel!" distraction to trigger the antisemitic leftists and to divert attention from what's going on right now at the State Department.
Biden's anti-weed stance (decriminalize now, and study states that legalize) is the exact same position Bernie Sanders had when he announced his presidential candidacy in 2015.

Pay-to-play scheme for ambassador role in Trump administration uncovered by CBS News | Emails show Doug Manchester donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund. Trump told him, "I should probably be the ambassador to the Bahamas and you should be president." RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel emailed him in 2019 asking, "Would you consider putting together $500,000 worth of contributions from your family to ensure we hit our ambitious fundraising goal?" "As you know I am not supposed to do any, but my wife is sending a contribution for $100,000. Assuming I get voted out of the [Foreign Relations Committee] on Wednesday to the floor we need you to have the majority leader bring it to a majority vote … Once confirmed, I our [sic] family will respond!" | Quid: Got any money? Pro: In exchange for what? Quo: Senate Confirmation

The Supreme Court on Monday temporarily blocked a ruling that requires an accounting firm to turn Donald Trump’s tax returns over to Congress. The order signed by Chief Justice John Roberts gives the Democratic-controlled House Committee on Oversight and Reform until Thursday to respond. The document did not note any public votes or dissents. Earlier in the day, attorneys for House Democrats said in a letter they would not oppose a temporary delay in enforcing the subpoena to allow the court time to consider arguments on both sides. The committee said in the letter that it would provide its response on Friday.

Two Senators are looking into a whistleblower’s allegations that at least one political appointee at the Treasury Department may have tried to interfere with an audit of Trump or Pence, according to two people with knowledge of the matter, a sign that lawmakers are moving to investigate the complaint lodged by a senior staffer at the Internal Revenue Service. Staff members for Sens. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Wyden (Ore.), the chairman and ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, met with the IRS whistleblower earlier this month, those people said. Follow-up interviews are being scheduled to further explore the whistleblower’s allegations.

A recent flurry of American airstrikes against Islamic State fighters in southern Libya has seriously disrupted the terrorist group’s efforts to reorganize and carry out attacks in one of its most important hubs outside the Middle East, military and counterterrorism officials say. In a span of 10 days in late September, four strikes killed 43 militants — or about one-third of the group’s estimated 150 fighters in Libya — including some important commanders and recruiters, according to officials at the headquarters of the Pentagon’s Africa Command. The strikes, which other officials said were carried out by Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drones based in neighboring Niger, came as the Islamic State had increased recruiting and attacks in recent months in the largely ungoverned spaces of southwest Libya. Several new camps of fighters had emerged in that area, prompting the first American strikes against ISIS in Libya this year. “The most critical, enduring weakness for both ISIS Libya and A.Q.I.M. is recruitment,” Rear Adm. Heidi Berg, the command’s director of intelligence, said in an interview, referring to the Islamic State and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, which is active in Libya.

Khzir Khan endorses @JoeBiden:
"Biden has always put the country above himself. ... Trump, on the other hand, has consistently chosen self over country, seeking the aid of totalitarian governments to sway elections and undermine our rule of law to serve his self-interest."
https://twitter.com/IsaacDovere/status/1196493529301868547
why Biden over other Dems? Khan: "I know his heart like I know my own. He understands loss and pain in a way that crosses barriers and connects all people. We need a tested patriot like Joe Biden to bring us together as Americans and regain our leadership on the world stage"

The biggest mystery in @realdonaldtrump's financial disclosures: he owes more than ***$50 million*** to an LLC that exists mostly on paper. No employees, no office, no assets of its own. That mystery lender, Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC, just filed its annual report. This is it.
https://twitter.com/Fahrenthold/status/1196497763124568064
This one-page doc from the Illinois Sec. of State is the only annual public proof that this LLC even exists. It shows -- as always -- that this huge creditor of @realdonaldtrump's is owned by Trump's own company. @trump Org has not explained why or how.

Lance McCullers Jr in 2018 on pace of play “You can’t limit mound visits, especially from the catcher, when everyone is using adv tech to steal signs. You have to change them too often to try to keep things as “even” as possible. And I’m not talking about signs when a man is on second.”

Lamar Jackson is the only QB I’ve seen that could actually play running back. They have plays designed like a running back play where he’s following the guard or tackle. Lamar Jackson is not a good quarterback who can run, he’s a good quarterback who’s also a running back.
