Fantastic Presidential News Today!

Check this out, folks! Even the ultra-conservative "National Review" is putting this mess of a Republican Party President in his place concerning his reactions to our vote and election! Yahoo!!

National Review editors bash Trump's 'disgraceful conduct since losing' reelection

I love it! Fantastic! A bit from the article about it from The Hill:

The National Review editorial board is drawing attention online for its sharp rebuke of President Trump’s actions challenging the results of the presidential election, which he lost to President-elect Joe Biden.

In a Monday editorial titled “Trump’s Disgraceful Endgame,” the conservative publication’s senior editorial staff referred to the president’s continued efforts to undermine the results as “disgraceful” and said “almost nothing that the Trump team has alleged has withstood the slightest scrutiny.”

And now, some of the original article at National Review:

Almost nothing that the Trump team has alleged has withstood the slightest scrutiny. In particular, it’s hard to find much that is remotely true in the president’s Twitter feed these days. It is full of already-debunked claims and crackpot conspiracy theories about Dominion voting systems. Over the weekend, he repeated the charge that 1.8 million mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania were mailed out, yet 2.6 million were ultimately tallied. In a rather elementary error, this compares the number of mail-ballots requested in the primary to the number of ballots counted in the general. A straight apples-to-apples comparison finds that 1.8 million mail-in ballots were requested in the primary and 1.5 million returned, while 3.1 million ballots were requested in the general and 2.6 million returned.

Flawed and dishonest assertions like this pollute the public discourse and mislead good people who make the mistake of believing things said by the president of the United States.

Enough to give a person hope!

Concede! or we #Throwthebumout

GOP Gov On Why He’s Working With Biden: ‘The Words Of President Trump Are Not Quite As Significant’

Great Time to Point Out What We Need To Do As a Nation

Three things, three big and important things, at minimum, we need to do to and with our government given the new administration that will be comind in. Next year couldn't be soon enough. First up--

Get the Big, Ugly Money Out of Our Election System and Government

We need to do this and badly. We need to first overturn Citizens United and then end the legalized bribery we call "campaign contributions." We could easily do this if we but have the will, too. We should do what the UK did long ago and make our elections only, say, a month or 3 months long. This would have many benefits besides killing the need for our government legislators to beg for and raise and have so much money for their political campaigns. It would also end the nearly constant campaign cycles we have now. Those two right there are huge benefits.

Next up--

Outlaw Gerrymandering and End Voter ID Laws

We need to do this so, of course, no political party even can let alone does gerrymander any political district so they can win reelection in perpetuity. It needs to be illegal for both political parties, everywhere, period. This only make sense.

And yes, end voter ID laws since they only disenfranchise fellow taxpaying American citizens and are frequently racist, too.

Then, third--

Bring back the Fairness Doctrine

Finally, we need to get the division and ugliness out of our media, out of what is still called "news" but which, because of ending the Fairness Doctrine, has become the likes of Fox "news" and Breitbart and so much Right Wing, even literally hate radio and media. It needs to be illegal, again, to not show at least 2 sides of any issue or story and not just one. Lying on the news should be illegal.

So there you are. With a new Presidential administration coming in soon, these are 3 things, at minimum we need and need so sorely. I doubt we do them but there is talk of changing things and now is the time. We are long, long overdue on these.

Missouri's Senator Blunt Takes a Deserved, Fair, Earned Beating at Daily Kos Today

Yes, it's a brutal write up on Missouri's Senator Roy Blunt today over at the Daily Kos but really, with him making excuses for this Republican Party President Trump of theirs and his denying our vote, our votes, our election and Democracy.....  Well... What can I say but he earned it all? And it's fair. Very fair. And yes, deserved.

Sen. Roy Blunt goes on Sunday shows to explain Republican Party's cowardly stance on Democracy

Just a bit from the article today but I really recommend all voting Missourians read the entire piece at Kos.

Republican Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri is a coward. Sen. Blunt has a storied career of being absent from the job he reportedly has as a senator in the United States Congress. In a Senate run by arguably the least legislative senator ever, Mitch McConnell, Blunt stands out in his sheer cowardly laziness. This has made it considerably less surprising to watch Sen. Blunt, over the past couple of weeks, do the Republican anti-Democracy dance of first vaguely insinuating that there is voter fraud that rigged the national election, and then outright pushing the theory that the outcome of the election was in doubt. The best that can be said about Blunt is that he’s a good bellwether for telling you what talking points the Republican leadership has passed down to its underlings—or hasn’t. He’s a coward.

On Sunday, as the worm has turned and the almost forty cases Trump and his band of Keystone fascists have lost or had thrown out in court settles in, Blunt and friends went on the Sunday shows to tell America that they were still technically acting like democratically elected representatives. They also wanted to remind their base that our election system might need to be rigged more for the minority of Americans in the Republican Party. Especially if all of these Black and Asian and Latino people are going to come out and vote!

Host Dana Bash began by trying to see if Sen. Blunt might join the meager trickle of GOP officials recognizing that President-elect Joe Biden won the Nov. 3 election against one term white supremacist executive Donald Trump. Blunt began by not acknowledging that, but reporting that “well, we are certainly moving forward as if that what is going to happen on January the 20th.” He then attempted to soften the Trump administration’s withholding of the transition funds by remarking that it “is a relatively new thing in American government that the elected president would have to have government money to make their transition is available.”

Sen. Roy Blunt basically reported what has only recently begun to happen. Sen. Roy Blunt said nothing. He then went on to argue that the semantics of calling Biden the victor or the “President-elect” are all just words...

As I said, it's brutal...but it's fair. And I say again, it's earned. And deserved.

Thanks, Senator Blunt! Thanks for standing up for us! And our vote! And votes! And election! And Democracy! Heck, for that matter, for decency and truth.

Not.

This Is It! A Way to Avoid Another President Donald J Trump!

 At last! I found it! I found the answer and way for us all to avoid any second Donald J Trump, President.

Amend the Constitution to Prevent Another Trump

This man, Rohit Aggarwal, wrote this in Bloomberg News, thank goodness! Here's the meat of the article:

A 28th constitutional amendment could keep this from happening again. First, an amendment should work against conflicts of interest by making the disclosure of tax returns well before Election Day an eligibility requirement for federal offices. And it should expand the Constitution's emoluments clause, which bars the president from accepting gifts or favors from foreign states, to explicitly include the president and his or her immediate family, and cover businesses held directly and indirectly.

The amendment should replace the Office of Government Ethics with a new entity that's responsible jointly to the president and both houses of Congress, charged not only with establishing ethics regulations but also with suspending officials who violate them. It should institutionalize the independence of the Justice Department by making the attorney general an officer who serves at the pleasure of both the president and Congress, thereby ensuring that attorneys general would not be able to do active harm for very long.

Finally, the amendment should prevent presidents from pardoning themselves, their families, their staffs and campaign officials, and perhaps even major donors to their campaigns. It should eliminate the ability to grant pardons between Election Day and the beginning of the next presidential term.

Simple. Intelligent. Important. Necessary, as we have seen these last four years.

Let's do this, America. Get the word out to your government representatives.

A Great Question Today

And here it is, that great question coming as it does from none other than the Wall Street Journal in Friday's edition.

A Speedy Recovery Depends on More Aid. Will Trump Deliver?

The economy can’t wait until January for more help for states, businesses and the unemployed.

Except...will Trump deliver?

I'd have to say, from the looks of it, Mr. Trump is far too self-absorbed---yeah, imagine that--with fighting his having been rejected by us, the electorate. He seems to be fighting his loss in the ballot box, no way doing what's right or what's needed for the nation and people.

After that, after questioning wither Trump, will Mitch McConnell deliver? Will the Republicans in the Senate deliver?

Again, but this time nearly inexplicably, Senator Moscow Mitch and the Republicans seem to be missing in action. Or, rather, missing in inaction. I guess they're what? on one of their "recesses." Sure, they'll tell you they're concerned about business and businesses and business leaders and business people but when it comes down to it, just now? Gone. Doing nothing. Nothing whatever. I don't get it.

We'd love to know. Heck, we'd like to see the aid so people, Americans, citizens, have enough to eat and don't get evicted from their homes.

I'll never forget this from Senator McConnell.

The American History So Few Americans Know

 

“In Louisiana, black women were put in cells with male prisoners and some became pregnant. In 1848, legislators passed a new law declaring that all children born in the penitentiary of African American parents serving life sentences would be property of the state. The women would raise the kids until the age of ten, at which point the penitentiary would place an ad in the newspaper. Thirty days later, the children would be auctioned off on the courthouse steps 'cash on delivery.' The proceeds were used to fund schools for white children. . . many of [the black children] were purchased by prison officials.”

Quote of the Day -- Thanksgiving, Republican Party Edition

A staggering one in EIGHT Americans reported they sometimes or often didn’t have enough food to eat in the past week. That’s nearly 26 million Americans who are going hungry the week of Thanksgiving. And a full quarter of out-of-work Americans with children at home reported not having enough food to eat. The numbers are worse for Black households than for white ones: 22 percent of Black households reported going hungry in the past week, over 2.5 times the rate for white households. Food banks are overwhelmed trying to meet the new surge in demand: “We'll be hard pressed to keep up. We’re just bracing for the worst,” said the CEO of Feeding Texas.

Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell adjourned the Senate last week and let them skip town early for Thanksgiving. He and his do nothing Senate Republicans get to go home to their families and sit down to a table bursting with food, while 26 million of their fellow Americans starve. As long as their rich friends are happy now that the stock market is soaring, they couldn’t be bothered to serve their constituents. It’s one of the grossest abdications of duty I’ve ever seen. There are no words to truly describe Mitch McConnell’s moral bankruptcy.

Quote of the Day -- Post-Presidential Edition

 Former CIA Director John Brennan wrote the best, most true and deserving lines on Twitter this past  Monday on this President.

“For four years, I spoke out vigorously against Donald Trump’s craven dishonesty, corrupt pursuit of personal interests, & trampling of our democratic principles. After serving over three decades in national security, I felt compelled to condemn Trump’s depravity & incompetence. My outspokenness has brought criticism, retaliation by the Trump Administration, & threats by those blinded by Trump’s demagoguery,” he continued. “Yes, it is unusual for a former CIA Director to speak out, but when an autocrat descended upon the White House, silence was not an option for me. I now plan to ignore Trump, I leave his fate to our judicial system, his infamy to history, & his legacy to a trash heap.”

Thank you, sir, for your service.

And for these very fair, very deserved words.

GSA Chief Says Decision to Allow Transition to Begin

Fantastic. A relief, as I said. Unfortunate it took this long, nearly 3 weeks to get to it.

And here are the markets response.

Dow crests 30,000 points on vaccine hopes, Biden transition

We're not completely out of the woods, so to speak, since the Orange Man is still technically in power and in the White House, of course, very unfortunately.

How Trump is sabotaging Biden -- and America

What he, Trump, is doing, is still doing:

--Sabotaging the Fed

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has demanded the Federal Reserve return $455 billion in unused funds from a lending program meant to prop up American businesses. The Fed could legally continue with the funds if Mnuchin didn't claw them back, but he argues the program should end at the end of this year -- a decision panned by the US Chamber of Commerce.

This will create political headaches for Biden, but it'll also have a negative impact on everyday Americans...

--Boxing Biden in on foreign policy

A report by CNN's national security team is emblematic of how Trump's administration is working actively in ways to make Biden's life more difficult.

The goal is to set so many fires that it will be hard for the Biden administration to put them all out, an administration official tells CNN in the report.
Trump's administration is:

• Further removing troops from Afghanistan and Iraq in the final days of Trump's time as President.
• Contemplating new terrorist designations in Yemen that could complicate efforts to broker peace.
• Rushing through authorization of a massive arms sale that could alter the balance of power in the Middle East.
• Planning a last-minute crackdown on China.
• Floating the idea of a last-minute military strike on Iran, according to The New York Times.
• Building a wall of sanctions that make it difficult for Biden to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal Trump scuttled.
• Sending Mike Pompeo on the first-ever official visit by a US secretary of state to an Israeli settlement....

--Handing Biden an economic grenade

Trump's failure to negotiate a new Covid stimulus with Congress will set Biden up for a political fight on Day One about how to help Americans hurt by the pandemic.
Here's what expires in December without further action:

• Provisions to beef up unemployment insurance
• A deferral on student loan payments
• A paid family leave provision
• Coronavirus relief funding for states whose tax base has been decimated
• And a moratorium on evictions...

--Weakening American democracy

The most important of these various nails left under the couch cushions is Trump's steadfast refusal to accept the legitimacy of Biden's win, an ultimately futile bit of pique, since Biden will take the oath of office and Trump will no longer be President in January.

Either because he wants to retire campaign debt, seed a new media empire of democratic disbelievers or is personally incapable of admitting defeat, Trump's actions will have consequences.

As if all that isn't bad enough, there's this horror of a thought.

Why Do All The Networks Keep Calling Biden The "46th President?" He'll Be The 47th

 It does look like Biden was just elected to be our 47th President.

Let’s not forget about the upcoming five-minute Presidency of Mike Pence, during which he will be allowed to say exactly twenty-one words: "I hereby pardon Donald Trump for all crimes, known or unknown, he has ever committed against the United States of America."

God forbid and heavens help us.

But for now, at least, Joe Biden is finally confirmed as President and he's picking his staff, the people in his administration.

Thank goodness.

I'm not violating any pledge of journalistic confidentially in reporting this: 21 Republican Sens–in convos w/ colleagues, staff members, lobbyists, W. House aides–have repeatedly expressed extreme contempt for Trump & his fitness to be POTUS. 

The 21 GOP Senators who have privately expressed their disdain for Trump are:

Trump Supporters Pledge To Do Us All a Favor If He Loses

 Check this out. This is magnificent.

From MSN today:

A viral video of protesters, as well as posts on social media platform Parler, indicate that Trump supporters are looking to boycott the upcoming Georgia Senate runoff elections.

Trump supporters in Georgia vow to destroy the Republican Party if Trump doesn't win pic.twitter.com/04dPRQFfC0

— Fifty Shades of Whey (@davenewworld_2) November 21, 2020

A video, shared on Twitter on Saturday, shows a protester speaking into a mic criticizing Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Utah Senator Mitt Romney, who are both Republicans. The protester calls them "traitors."

Seemingly reacting to certification from Georgia election officials that President-elect Joe Biden had indeed won the Peach State following an election recount, the protesters disavowed the GOP.

"Any Republican who allows this to happen is complicit, and we will finish you," the protester, donning a camo sweatshirt with an elephant on it, shouts into the microphone. "For any Republicans not explicitly helping Trump to 'stop the steal,' we will make sure you are never elected ever again."

How great, how fantastic is that?

They're going to do us all the favor.

What isn't to fear or loathe is to love. 

The New York Times Asks a Good and Important Question

 In this weekend's New York Times Magazine, they not only ask a great question but then take it further and point out 5 features of this President's possible problems if not out and out crimes. First the question.

Can America Restore the Rule of Law Without Prosecuting Trump?

To which I think it's, first, important to answer that yes, we, America do need to restore the rule of law here in America and we need to at the very least investigate this President and what he's done and then, likely, very likely, yes, go forward with charges and for two reasons.

First, we need to make sure and clear that no one, no one is above the law and then, second, as the article says, we need to restore the rule of law here in America.  It's important we do this and it's very important we make sure nothing like Donald Trump, his presidency or administration ever, ever happen again.

And then? For what to investigate this man Trump?

This is the 2nd thing I think the article does clearly and importantly if not and out out beautifully. We examine Mr. Trump for 

• Possible financial crimes
• Election law violations
• Obstruction of justice, any and all
• Public corruption
• Partisan coercion

No small things.

Let's do this, America. 

Our first priority has to be getting him out of office, of course, since he lost the election but this is second. This is an important, very important second priority. And let's be clear about this, too. This is not Democrat trying to punish Republican. This is about law-abiding citizens keeping everyone law-abiding.

Where We Are Presently In This Trump Game

 

Thanks, Republicans.

Now 19 Days After This Election

We are now, as I said in the headline, 19 days after this presidential election and still, still this Republican Party excuse for a President refuses to recognize, accept, respect our vote, our votes, our election, even our Democracy. 

That's the bad news. That and this are the bad news. This was announced today.

Operation Warp Speed Head Says He’s Been Instructed Not To Share Vaccine Information With Biden Team

This is obscene. He is now openly hurting the nation in the middle of the worst, most killing, deadly international pandemic in the last more than 100 years. It's over 2 weeks since we voted. He needs to concede and everyone in his political party needs to speak up and point him in that direction.

Then this happened yesterday.

G20 leaders meet to discuss help for poorest nations in post-Covid world, Trump golfs

If there's good news, and there is, it's that all kinds of people, especially from his own political party, are starting to speak up to say what he should do, what should happen. First from the GOP's Senator Toomey from Pennsylvania.

And this is likely one reason he spoke up and out.

The judge said Trump's lawsuit was--his words--"without merit." He wrote "...Trump’s campaign had used “strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations” in its effort to throw out millions of votes.

Then this, based on this morning's Sunday morning talk shows.

Dominion spokesman: 'It is not physically possible for our machines to switch votes from one candidate to the other'

A spokesperson Dominion Voting Systems addressed conspiracy theories about the company on Fox News Sunday, saying it was “not physically possible” for its machines to change voter selections.

“This is a nonpartisan American company. It is not physically possible for our machines to switch votes from one candidate to the other,” Michael Steel said on Fox News’ “America’s News HQ” Sunday.

“Let's be very clear, our election system is run by local elected officials and nonpartisan poll watchers. We simply provide a tool to count the ballots and to print and count ballots,” he added. “There is no way such a massive fraud could have taken place and there are no connections between our company and Venezuela, Germany, Barcelona, Kathmandu, whatever the latest conspiracy theory is.”

I understand he wants so badly to stay out of jail but this is one desperate, very desperate man, folks.

And so, we gird our loins, so to speak.
