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!!



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

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.

Quote of the Day -- Presidential Edition

 

Carl Bernstein  @carlbernstein

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: 
  • Portman 
  • Alexander 
  • Sasse 
  • Blunt 
  • Collins 
  • Murkowski 
  • Cornyn 
  • Thune 
  • Romney 
  • Braun 
  • Young 
  • Tim Scott 
  • Rick Scott 
  • Rubio 
  • Grassley 
  • Burr 
  • Toomey 
  • McSally 
  • Moran 
  • Roberts 
  • Shelby
With few exceptions, their craven public silence has helped enable Trump’s most grievous conduct—including undermining and discrediting the US the electoral system.

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. 

Post image

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

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.

GOP senator congratulates Biden, says Trump should accept 


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.


And another. Another Republican Party Senator speaks up publicly, saying Trump should concede.
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) said on Sunday that it was "past time to start a transition" to a Biden administration adding he would "rather have a president that has more than one day to prepare."

Same conclusion in Michigan.


Then there's Maryland's Republican Governor Hogan. He makes a great point.


Hogan is one of a handful of Republican governors, including Govs. Charlie Baker of Massachusetts and Mike DeWine of Ohio, who have criticized the president’s refusal to acknowledge the results of the election and called on him to concede to Biden.

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

Even Chris Christie is recognizing reality now. And keep in mind, Christie is also another member of the GOP, the President's own one and same political party.

Chris Christie: Trump's legal team has been 'a national embarrassment'

And Alan Dershowitz, for pity's sake.

Alan Dershowitz Tells Maria Bartiromo: 'The Outcome Of The Election Will Not Be Reversed'

One of President Donald Trump's most high profile legal defenders on Sunday said that he did not expect the results of the election to be reversed.

And John Bolton. Again. A person from Trump's own staff and administration at one point, of course.

'Just Say It's Wrong': John Bolton Begs Republicans To Stop 'Hiding' From Trump's Election Denial

In spite of all this, in spite of the time it is after this election, in spite of the numbers of people from his own political party saying he should, at long last now, concede, it was announced he plans to continue on.

Trump vows to appeal judge's dismissal of Pennsylvania election challenge

It is maddening. Not done there, he's doing this, too.

Trump Requests Georgia Recount, Meaning 5 Million Votes Will Be Tabulated A 3rd Time

More Georgia reality.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Bluestein on Georgia recount: 'The results still stand'

The facts came out this weekend on, of all places, Fox, too.

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.

Democrats gear up for last oversight showdown with Trump

The bad news is, with over 2 weeks behind us since the election, this failed President still hasn't and won't accept reality.

The good news is that more and more in his political party are.

Donald Trump, In a Nutshell

 Here, ladies and gentlemen, Americans, is Donald J Trump, reputed President of these United States.


Anand Giridharadas@AnandWrites

He hosted a super-spreader event to honor a justice who would have the government control your body but refuse the duty to care for it, and when the virus he helped go around came around, he availed of the healthcare he would deny others, financed by the taxes he refuses to pay.

Thanks, Mr. President!

Thanks, Republicans!

Let's do this, folks.

Vote.  And vote blue.

This President Is In a World of Hurt Now

This is what I'm talking about, folks. 

Post image 

Yesterday and yesterday's breaking article from the New York Times is, I think, a turning point in this presidential election. Watch for it tomorrow night. I think this is and has been now, already, a watershed moment for us, for the nation, for the people and against this President and even his political party.

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw·

A lot of Americans want to know: Will Chris Wallace ask Trump on Tuesday night: “Mr. Trump, to whom do you owe that $410M?

Then check out just some, only some of the headlines that have developed in the last 24 hours.




And his reaction to the NYT report and all that's going on.


And then it seems like Trump's big issue for Biden was something about Biden being on or doing drugs?


Not done there, it seems there is apparently more, possibly much more, that is about to hit the fan news this week, shortly.


From London, where Cambridge Analytica Ltd (CA) was a British political consulting firm that combined misappropriation of digital assets, data mining, data brokerage, and data analysis with strategic communication during electoral processes to help Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. There’s a long sordid history and though the company was forced to close operations in 2018 in the course of the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal, related firms still exist (notably Emerata), and the history has a number of political characters and associations.

EXCLUSIVE: Channel 4 News investigation reveals a huge Trump campaign data leak, exposing how 3.5 million Black Americans were listed as ‘Deterrence’ - to try to stop them voting in 2016. #DeterringDemocracy

Not even done there, it seems the children may also be in some trouble.


This is from October, 2018 but shows that he, Jared, is in the same boat as his very unpatriotic, tax skipping father.


Tomorrow evening's presidential election debate has now been turned on its head, so to speak.I think if Donald Trump's political career were a house, it would quite likely be collapsing about now.

Now We Have to Discuss a President Not Recognizing Our Election, Our Vote, Our Votes?

 We are having to have conversations about a President who might require being escorted or even dragged out of the White House after our election.


Meanwhile, here's your vote fraud, Mr. President. From your own, our own FBI Director.


And yes, there are facts behind it.


Congratulations, Republicans!
Thanks, Mr. President.

Just exactly how completely low are we going to let this cheat, this liar, this conman drag our nation down? Check out this current headline.
