Sanders sounds alarm on a Trump ‘nightmare scenario’
Trump, who has consistently trailed Biden in polls, has spent months trying to sow doubt about election voting.
Trump, who has consistently trailed Biden in national and swing-state polls, has spent months trying to sow doubt about voting and the election. The president has claimed without evidence that mail voting will lead to "the greatest Rigged Election in history"; has urged people in North Carolina to illegally vote twice to stress-test the election system; and has even suggested delaying the election, which he cannot do on his own.

Sweden considers new restrictions as COVID-19 cases rise
Donald Trump's and Andrew Bolt's appeals to herd immunity are sinking what thay might continue to do however is sell the idea od a herd mentality but even that seems to be a bigger failure
"The downwards trend is broken. We can only hope this is a blip, that the spread starts decreasing," the health boss said.

Fake News
NEW RESEARCH: MANY OF US ARE ALREADY IMMUNE
COLUMN A strange thing is happening in Europe with this virus. People just aren’t dying like they used to. And new research suggests one reason: many of us may already have some immunity. But good news is unwelcome in this panic. So the ABC on Wednesday again peddled virus porn about the second wave of infections now hitting Europe.
Bolt is such a bullshit artist the "new" research he's talking about is Swedish done 2 months ago by Soo Aleman and hasn't been peer reviewed. In fact Sweden is currently on the edge of not continuing with herd immunity but a lock down as cases are increasing and they know from experience of 6000 deaths they will too. None of this phases Bolt however he continues publish his bullshit despite what's happening out in the real world.
The ABC is correct and Andrew Bolt and is left behind eating their dust. It's not the first time. As he was for all those years when trying to convince us the planet was cooling.
PANDEMIC OF AMNESIA HITS VICTORIA
COLUMN Never mind the virus. Who will treat this pandemic of amnesia in the Victorian government? Or is the government stacked with bosses who learned management from Sergeant “I know nothing” Schultz? The inquiry into how the virus got out of Victoria’s quarantine hotels, going on to kill more than 750 people, has exposed staggering incompetence.
Yes it has but the incompetence is of the systems we have allowed to evolve over 30 years that simply can't cope. Privatization, deregulation and neolibrealism have take the place of and value of Public Service. It's what Dan Andrews inherited and had to face this pandemic with. An Aged Care System the jurisdiction of the federal government that didn't work resulted in the deaths. A DHHS so underfunded and decimated over the past 50 years that it too couldn't cope.
Governments and the media so grandly talk systems the LNP demanding smaller government, privatization and deregulation for the economy but when the wheels fall off they look for individuals to blame rather than the broken system they helped create. That's all that Bolt's doing here when saying it's Dan Andrews fault when the fault dates back 30 years and not yesterday. What would O'Brien have done Matthew Guy looked for people to blame. Dan Andrews isn't doing that he's got his nose fixed to the wheel.
VICTORIA'S DISGRACE: A SERGEANT SCHULTZ GOVERNMENT
Amnesia is sweeping through Victoria's Government. Not one minister, police chief, health boss or ministry boss can remember who made the catastrophic decision to get private security guards - not the army or police - to do security at quarantine hotels. What a farce, but just what you'd expect from a regime run by a secretive authoritarian. Watch.
Amazing Bolt generally is in favour of smaller government and Public Service but when the shit hits the fan and his favourite private enterprise fails he's back calling for Public Service because he has done a 180 degree turn and advocating they are the best in emergencies. Remember Bolt's outcry when Dan wanted to professionalize the Country Fire Authority. We have seen Bolt advocating the government takeover of coal-fired power. Build a new one why because that's what Abbott wanted. We saw the decimation of our CSIRO and the dimiunisation of so many other institutions turned over to the private sector only to fail. NBN Co is just another we are about to deal with.
Bolt is here blaming individuals who are symptoms of systems put in place that can't cope. Systems that need to be changed and when they are Bolt complains again. Dan Andrews did lead Victoria out of a second wave. Did take control and has 70% support from the public. He didn't sack people he didn't have to he changed the system with in which they operated. While Bolt is still telling us like Trump a herd mentality works best look at Sweden. Yes Sweden that's about to do what a Dan!
