Asked by CNN’s Chris Cuomo if he thinks President Trump has a shot of winning Minnesota, MN AG Keith Ellison replied “Honestly, yeah, I do.”

He continued “I will tell you, I believe in our campaign workers and organizers. They’re working extremely hard. I can tell you that Minnesotans know what a problem Trump is.”

“They know he doesn’t care about their health care. They know all the bad things about him.”

“But there are some folks who still are supporting him. And so what I tell people is, one, he does have a shot, don’t play it cheap, work hard for every single vote. And don’t stop until 8:00 on November 3,” he added.

Friday, President Donald Trump blasted Minnesota AG Keith Ellison, arguing that he didn’t apply rally restrictions he applied to the Trump campaign to protesters after George Floyd’s death.

Trump said “Your far-left Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison and your Democrat Governor tried to shut down our rally, silence the people of Minnesota, and take away your freedom and your rights.”

The Presidentalso argued “When rioters and vandals sacked the city of Minneapolis earlier this year, Keith Ellison did not ask them to submit a permit, he told the throngs of violent demonstrators, “by all means, exercise your first Amendment rights.”

Today on “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg floated impeaching Supreme Court justices “that have not stuck to the rules of being judges on the Supreme Court.”

Sunny Hostin said “I think her appointment is really going to change the way the Supreme Court is going to not only handle cases but the way the Supreme Court is going to look going forward.”

“We all know the Republican Party has been packing the Supreme Court for decades. They’ve been packing the judiciary for decades. Trump has put now three justices on the Supreme Court and just dozens and dozens of judges on the federal judiciary,” she said.

“I think what we’ll see is perhaps the Democrats unpacking the Supreme Court, so there’s more of a balance.”

Whoppi Goldberg added “or some impeachments which is possible with Supreme Court judges. They also can be impeached. There are lots of ways to shift this.”

“One could impeach judges that have not stuck to the rules of being judges on the Supreme Court. That’s been done several times. There’s a lot of ways to balance stuff out,” she added.

Ohio Sheriff Richard Jones of Butler County offered to pony up funds for a one-way ticket for any celebrities who want to leave the country if Donald Trump is re-elected.

The Butler County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post says “Sheriff Richard K. Jones states it’s that time of election year again. Celebrities threatening to leave the United States if the President is re-elected. This happened in 2016 and it is believed not one celebrity left then and it appears the same threats are being made this election year.”

The release continues “Sheriff Jones would like to extend an invitation to put money towards a one-way ticket for any celebrity that would like to leave the country this time around if President Trump is re-elected.”

“Hell, I’ll even help them pack,” states Sheriff Jones.

Speaking to Australian media, rocker Bruce Springsteen recently jokingly vowed to move from the U.S. to down under if President Trump wins re-election “by some happenstance.”

Springsteen said “I love Australia. Every time, we have nothing but good times down there. It’s always a treat to come. Love the people, love the geography, great place for motorcycle trips, it’s close to our hearts.”

He then added “If Trump is re-elected, which he will not be, I’m predicting right now he’s gonna lose, if by some happenstance he should be, I’ll see you on the next plane.”

In a recent interview with “Variety” Fleetwood Mac lead Steve Nicks said (jokingly we presume) she’s considered leaving earth on a space ship in order to escape the racism of Trump’s America.

Nicks explained “racism in the last four years is so much worse than it was. I’m 72 years old. I lived through the ‘60s. I’ve seen all this. I fought for Roe vs. Wade; that was my generation’s fight.”

She continued “and I don’t want to live in a country that is so divisive. I go, like, well, if this starts over and there’s another four years of this, then I’m going — but we’re not welcome anywhere. So where can I go? And I’m thinking: Oh, space. Maybe I can talk Elon Musk into giving us a jet and letting me pick 50 people, and we’re like the arc, and someone can take us and let us live on another planet until the next four years are over.”

Wednesday, CNN’s Jim Acosta said no person can get under Trump’s skin like former President Obama and argued that President Trump is getting angrier and more bitter.

Replying to Wolf Blitzer, Acosta said “I think that was one of the highlights of Barack Obama’s speech, when he said can you imagine if I had a secret Chinese bank account they would call me Beijing Barry.”

He continued “I mean, there is no person on the face of the earth who gets under Donald Trump’s skin like Barack Obama.”

“And that is why you’ve seen President Trump over the last four years try to undo just about anything that had President Obama’s name on it, namely Obamacare.”

“I’ve talked to people inside the Trump campaign, people inside the White House. Barack Obama’s obviously the one surrogate they don’t want to see very much of out on the campaign trail. He just has a way of getting under President Trump’s skin like nobody else,” he added.

Acosta then said “You just get a sense, Wolf, day after day after day as we’re getting closer to election day, the president of the United States is sounding angrier and more bitter.”

“He’s lashing out at Dr. Anthony Fauci. He’s lashing out at debate moderators, lashing out at the media. And now Barack Obama’s going to be one more thing getting under the president’s skin at this critical stage of the campaign, Wol,” Acosta said.

Reporter Jeffrey Toobin was suspended by The New Yorker because he exposed himself during a Zoom call last week between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio, according to VICE.

Toobin said in a statement to Motherboard: “I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers.”

“I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video,” he added.

New Yorker spokesperson Natalie Raabe said: “Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter.”

Toobin’s Conde Nast email has been disabled and he hasn’t posted on his Twitter account since October 13.

His name did, however, appear on CNN, where he is the network’s chief legal analyst, on Saturday.

“Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted,” CNN said in a statement.

Jeffrey Toobin has worked as a legal analyst at CNN since 2002. He has been with The New Yorker for more than 25 years.

Today, a town hall questioner told President Donald Trump “you have a great smile.”

Her compliment elicited a big smile from the President who replied “Thank you.”

She then added “You’re so handsome when you smile.”

Fox News also reported that an audience member seated behind President Trump during his Thursday NBC town hall in Miami went viral on social media after she was seen repeatedly nodding along with his comments and giving a thumbs up.

Trump supporters loved the visual.

The woman, identified by the Miami Herald as Mayra Joli, is an immigration attorney, former beauty queen and pro-Trump activist who ran for Congress in Florida in 2018.

Joli was able to speak to the president after the town hall ended, according to a video she posted on her Facebook page, the Herald reported.

“We have your back! You see, you see, you are the best,” she told him while he was speaking to voters afterward. He asked her where she’s from and said he appreciates the support.

CNN’s Don Lemon blasted NBC over hosting a Trump town hall opposite Biden’s Thursday.

Don Lemon asked “Why on earth would NBC agree to do that?”

“You can do equal time on a different night!” He said.

“You can do equal time at a different time! You don’t have to do it at the same time and then divide the country further by having them choose!”

“How does it help the American people? How does that help the electorate by putting those two people on at the same time and making people choose from one to the other?” Lemon vented to Chris Cuomo.

“This is an outright embarrassing ratings ploy on behalf of NBC. And I am shocked and surprised that they would allow the president of the United States to do their programming and manipulate them into doing this,” he added. “This is embarrassing.”

Shepard Smith caused a media stir earlier this year after he abruptly resigned from his show on the FOX News network.

Most of the FOX News viewers didn’t mind much, as Shep was one of the most liberal hosts on the channel.

Now Shepard Smith has launched a new show on CNBC, but so far it doesn’t look like the viewers at CNBC are too thrilled with his work either.

Shepard’s ratings are terrible.

The Hill reported that CNBC’s Shepard Smith averaged 322,000 total viewers in his first week of shows on the Comcast-owned business network, according to Nielsen Media Research.

The former Fox News anchor parted ways with the network in October 2019 after 23 years there. Smith signed with CNBC in July, where he serves as the network’s chief general news anchor and chief breaking general news anchor as well as executive editor of his own program, “Shepard Smith Reports.”

Smith’s Sept. 30 CNBC debut delivered 373,000 viewers nine days ago, with viewership tracking lower than the premiere newscast over the next four shows.

On Oct. 1, Smith registered 321,000 viewers, followed by 331,000 on Oct. 2, 266,000 on Oct. 5 and 321,000 on Wednesday.

In an interview with “Variety” to promote her new single “Show Them the Way,” iconic rocker Steve Nicks says she’s considered leaving earth on a space ship in order to escape the racism of President Trump’s America.

Nicks explained “racism in the last four years is so much worse than it was. I’m 72 years old. I lived through the ‘60s. I’ve seen all this. I fought for Roe vs. Wade; that was my generation’s fight.”

She continued “and I don’t want to live in a country that is so divisive. I go, like, well, if this starts over and there’s another four years of this, then I’m going — but we’re not welcome anywhere. So where can I go? And I’m thinking: Oh, space.”

“Maybe I can talk Elon Musk into giving us a jet and letting me pick 50 people, and we’re like the arc, and someone can take us and let us live on another planet until the next four years are over.”

The rocker then claimed to be nonpartisan.

“I hope people understand that it’s nonpartisan — that it’s not for Republicans, it’s not for Democrats,” she specified.

“It’s meant to be a moment of peace for everyone, and… you know the silly thing where people say ‘Can’t everybody just get along?’ It’s like, can we just figure a way out of this horrific thing that we have walked into? That’s why I released this now.”

Steve Nicks new single pays homage to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an icon for Democrats.

Thursday, Hollywood filmmaker Michael Moore called for President Donald Trump to be arrested over the alleged plot to kidnap Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer that was busted by the FBI.

Michael Moore referenced a past tweet of President Trump’s and wrote:

LIBERATE MICHIGAN!”

That’s what Trump tweeted.
“That woman.”
That’s how Trump continually demeans Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan.

“Thoughts & prayers.” That’s what we’re told to do so Trump can resume his coup & his calls for civil war.

“ARREST HIM!” That’s what I say

Governor Whitmer herself put blame on President Trump and said he has been “fomenting anger, and giving comfort to those who spread fear, hatred, and division.”

She also claimed that President Trump has “refused to condemn white supremacists and hate groups like these two Michigan militia groups. Stand back and stand by, he told them.”
