The Republican legislators have killed their party. Although the GOP had a different set of objectives from the Democratic Party, both parties came from a common set of patriotic virtues. Take Senator John McCain (R-AZ). He was no Democrat, but when he was running against President Barack Obama, he gave us a clear picture of what a Republican politician used to be.
A woman in a town hall said:
‘I can’t trust Obama. I have read about him and he’s not… he’s not… he’s an Arab. And…’
He leaned toward her and said gently, according to The Chicago Tribune:
‘No, ma’am. He’s a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues. That’s what this campaign is all about.’
The woman seemed stunned. Even then, Donald Trump’s hand was involved in trying to discredit Obama with reckless propaganda.
McCain may have been one of the last true Republicans. The Lincoln Group consists of Republican and former Republican strategists committed to Trump’s downfall. They say the same thing, hoping to tear the country from 45’s greedy grip.
Beginning in the Ronald Reagan presidency, a group of people committed to greed started planning to shift money from the people to the upper-income group. Once set in motion, that system has continued until today and has run roughshod over our democracy. Now, look at what we have. The Tea Party morphed into the Trump Party where money and power are the only destinations.
People are rightfully angry, but they put their money on the wrong man.
Majority Leader Moscow Mitch McConnell clearly does not care about Americans thrown out of work or the hundreds of thousands of people dying in the coronavirus pandemic. The people in his Senate follow along in silent quiescence. They could have joined together with the Democratic Party and handled this terrible viral attack. Instead, they handed themselves over to a man with no roots in reality or anything good.
Spokesperson for the Michigan Department of State Jake Rollow released a statement claiming the Trump campaign was “promoting false claims to erode public confidence in Michigan’s elections,” according to Yahoo News:
‘It does not change the truth: Michigan’s elections were conducted fairly, securely, transparently, and the results are an accurate reflection of the will of the people.’
Now, Trump has refused to hand the keys to the White House over to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris. The sitting president claims fraud, a fantasy he created and convinced himself to believe. In Michigan, Trump is behind Biden over 148,000 votes. His lawsuit does not even make sense.
Trump’s presidential campaign went to court in Michigan to halt the US from certifying its election results. His attorneys claim many individuals submitted affidavits alleging voting misconduct in the Detroit area, where the Democrats are strong.
If that sounds familiar, the Republican conspiracy and propaganda generator Project Veritas found a USPS postal worker who signed an affidavit claiming voter fraud by his supervisors When the Senate Oversight Committee investigated, his story fell apart.
These allegations are also like those in lawsuits in other swing states. Maybe, Trump wants a second term. His mind goes down so far into the bowels of the abyss, it is nearly impossible to anticipate his next move. His reelection campaign sued Michigan during the vote-counting phase claiming the Republican poll challengers were being harassed. They sued to let them stand six-feet instead of 10 feet away from those counting votes. The attorneys also challenged “illegal and ineligible ballots were counted.”
Trump does not want Michigan’s election results certified before it confirms all the ballots were correctly counted. This even though the president’s own invitation to two international election surveying organizations gave the nation high marks. Trump’s lawsuit even claims a special election might be required in certain “problematic precincts.”
Where are the Republican lawmakers who would have held Trump’s feet to the fire in an earlier time? Not putting country before party, for sure, even though this presidential conduct puts the nation at risk in the world. The transition of presidents is always a fraught time, and they know it better than most.

bipartisanreport--2020-11-11--Arizona Judge Embarrasses Trump After Attempt To Hide Evidence

An Arizona judge has rejected a request from Republicans to seal evidence that their lawyers were set to submit in their lawsuit alleging that Arizona poll workers didn ’ t properly give voters the chance to fix issues with their ballots on Election Day .
The Republican plaintiffs in the case — including the Trump campaign , the Republican National Committee , and the Arizona Republican Party — claimed that the issues they ’ ve uncovered could have affected thousands of ballots , but this week , local election officials estimated that only about 180 ballots could be affected by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election officials ’ legal team insisted that members of the public have “ a right to know how flimsy ” that Republicans ’ “ evidence actually is.
” Republican attorney Kory Langhofer had cited issues like the presence of personally identifying information in the Republicans ’ evidence in her effort to convince Judge Daniel Kiley to seal the material .
The personal identifiers included addresses and partial Social Security numbers , and the Republicans also planned to submit video footage that had been captured inside of a polling place — although taking photos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ polling place while that polling place is in use is a crime in Arizona .
Maricopa County attorney Thomas Liddy said that it would be “ counterintuitive to have individuals invade the privacy of voters and violate their right to vote in secret and then use the fruit of that potentially illegal activity to advance a civil case.

How stupid do Republicans think that the American people are ?
There ’ s not a shred of evidence for the so-called whistleblower ’ s claims ; it ’ s 2020 , so where ’ s the smartphone footage ?

An Arizona judge has rejected a request from Republicans to seal evidence that their lawyers were set to submit in their lawsuit alleging that Arizona poll workers didn’t properly give voters the chance to fix issues with their ballots on Election Day. The Republican plaintiffs in the case — including the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee, and the Arizona Republican Party — claimed that the issues they’ve uncovered could have affected thousands of ballots, but this week, local election officials estimated that only about 180 ballots could be affected by the claims. More broadly, local election officials’ legal team insisted that members of the public have “a right to know how flimsy” that Republicans’ “evidence actually is.”
Republican attorney Kory Langhofer had cited issues like the presence of personally identifying information in the Republicans’ evidence in her effort to convince Judge Daniel Kiley to seal the material. The personal identifiers included addresses and partial Social Security numbers, and the Republicans also planned to submit video footage that had been captured inside of a polling place — although taking photos or videos within 75 feet of a polling place while that polling place is in use is a crime in Arizona. Maricopa County attorney Thomas Liddy said that it would be “counterintuitive to have individuals invade the privacy of voters and violate their right to vote in secret and then use the fruit of that potentially illegal activity to advance a civil case.” In other words, the Republicans ought not to get special treatment while relying on potentially illegal footage, although that special treatment is exactly what they were seeking.

They have trumpeted their frequently entirely baseless claims of electoral misconduct from the metaphorical rooftops at just about every opportunity.
Liddy commented, in part, as follows:
‘Plaintiffs chose to bring this lawsuit, calling into question the integrity of the electoral process. The public deserves to see all the evidence so that it can have confidence in this election.’
Judge Kiley concluded that he would allow the redaction of personal identifiers including Social Security numbers, birthdays, and signatures, but he declined to seal the rest of the case files.
The challenges to election integrity that Republicans have brought across the U.S. have frequently proven totally meritless.
For example: at a recent press conference in Nevada, conservative activist Matt Schlapp claimed that a “whistleblower” had come forward to reveal having seen a van marked with Biden/ Harris signage in which people were opening ballots and refilling envelopes with ballots that were, presumably, more favorable to Democrats.

Barack Obama honored veterans on this solemn day. One of those veterans was Alwyne Cashe. He stood in Iraq, the burning tank smelled of fuel. He was wearing his helmet, boots, and body armor. The fire that ripped through their tank after it hit an IED had burned off all of his clothing. He realized his team members were still in the tank, so he went back in over and over. Afterward, he had second and third-degree burns over almost 75 percent of his body, The Military Times reported.
He was awarded the Silver Star, but his actions did not merit the Medal of Honor, because they had not been in active combat. An investigation discovered there had been gunfire at the time of his rescue efforts.
This fall, legislators passed legislation that waived the rules that the upgrade must happen within five years of his heroic actions. It now awaits Donald Trump’s signature.
The Marine Corps Times reported that the Corps turned 245-years-old Tuesday. They suspended regular celebrations with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It has grown to 186,000 members.

President-elect Joseph Biden has just announced his landing team for the Department of Defense (DoD), according to the Military Times:
‘The team is led by Kathleen Hicks, who served as both principal deputy undersecretary of defense for policy, as well as deputy undersecretary of defense for strategy, plans, and forces in the Obama administration. She is currently the director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ International Security Program.’
Director of the RAND International Security and Defense Policy Center, Christine Wormuth, is also on the team:
‘She held a number of roles in the Obama administration, culminating as undersecretary of defense for policy from 2014-2016.’
The Pentagon confirmed the resignation of top civilian officials for policy and intelligence resignation just one day after Trump forced out Defense Secretary Mark Esper, the Military Times wrote:
‘Anthony Tata, a retired Army brigadier general and Fox News guest who was placed in the Pentagon amid controversy, will lead the Pentagon’s policy shop for the remainder of the Trump administration following the exit of James Anderson as part of what appears to be a broad shakeup of Department of Defense leadership.’
WWII paratrooper veteran Jim “Pee Wee” Martin, 99-years-old, continues to jump:
Other civilians include:
‘Ezra Cohen-Watnick, who entered the Trump administration as an aide to National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, will replace undersecretary of defense for intelligence Joseph Kernan, a retired Navy vice admiral who was confirmed in November 2017. Kernan and Anderson both submitted their resignations today. Per the Pentagon, Kernan had planned for “several months” to retire.’

bipartisanreport--2020-11-11--Trump Supporter Arrested For Threatening  FBI & ‘Jew Senator’ (Schumer)

A Trump supporter from Staten Island has been arrested after saying that he wanted to “ blow up ” an FBI building and posting violent threats against a slew of other targets , like “ anyone that claims to be a democrat ” and the celebrants who took to the streets last weekend after news networks called the presidential race for Joe Biden .
The Trump supporter — 54-year-old Brian Maiorana — also targeted anti-police brutality protesters who took to the streets across the country last year ; Maiorana said the protesters should be targeted with pipe bombs .
Maiorana @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been charged with making threatening interstate communications .
Seth DuCharme , the acting U.S. attorney in Brooklyn , said that the Justice Department “ will not stand idly by when people like the defendant allegedly threaten to kill elected officials , lawful protesters and law enforcement simply because of animus towards the outcome of an election.
” DuCharme added that the office that he currently leads “ will not tolerate violence or threats of violence used to intimidate others with whom they disagree.
” Maiorana ’ s violent screeds on social media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against the FBI was one of his more recent pronouncements ; this past Sunday , in a message citing the white supremacist novel The Turner Diaries , Maiorana said that he wanted to attack the FBI and ranted against “ the Jew Senator from Jew York , ” referring to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ( D-N.Y. ) , who Trump himself has frequently targeted for belligerent criticism .
Among his posts , Maiorana claimed that the election had been “ fraudulently stolen from us , ” which , while false , is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump himself has been making .
In another recent online rant that went up two days after the election , Maiorana said that “ carnage needs to come in the form of extermination of anyone that claims to be a democrat , ” and on Sunday , amidst pro-Biden celebrations , Maiorana said that “ right thinking people need to hit the streets while these scumbags are celebrating and start blowing them away.
” Maiorana was arrested by members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force , which is comprised of FBI agents and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anonymous official told The New York Times that agents discovered weapons at Maiorana ’ s home including “ a semiautomatic pistol , parts for a .22 caliber pistol , a Taser , a crossbow and an expandable baton.
” Donald Trump and his allies have frequently claimed that top Democrats like Joe Biden himself are allied with violent rioters .
This claim is unequivocally false .
In fact , Biden has repeatedly condemned violence in all forms , including the rioting that Republicans have tried to pin on Democrats .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his opponents , and it ’ s Donald Trump who now refuses to accept the election results , leading to widespread rejection of these results among his followers .
There is no legitimate basis for the rejection of these results by the president — claims from the idea that Republicans have been systematically excluded from observing ballot-counting to the idea that there is some kind of widespread conspiracy to fabricate Biden votes are false .

It’s Donald Trump who peddles brazen dehumanization of his opponents, and it’s Donald Trump who now refuses to accept the election results, leading to widespread rejection of these results among his followers.

bipartisanreport--2020-11-11--British Prime Minister Publicly Snubs Trump & Praises Biden

The world is moving on without Donald Trump , whether or not he is willing to accept the reality of his recent presidential election loss .
Current British Prime Minister Boris Johnson , a Conservative , is among the world leaders who ’ ve already personally spoken with President-elect Joe Biden , and during comments in the British Parliament this week , he majorly talked up the conversation between the two of them .
Johnson said that his conversation with Biden was “ refreshing , ” and he said that the two leaders “ strongly agreed on the need for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to stand together ” to protect human rights , defend NATO .
fight climate change , and more .
During his conversation with members of the British Parliament , Angela Eagle — a member of the left-wing Labour Party — asked Johnson if he had any “ advice for his erstwhile best friend , President Trump , ” in the wake of Donald ’ s “ embarrassing ” refusal to accept the basic reality of the results of the recent election that he lost .
In his response , Johnson referred to Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ making clear that Donald really doesn ’ t have many , if any global allies in his fight against the election results .
Johnson said , in part , as follows : ‘ I had and have a good relationship with the previous president… It is the duty of all British Prime Ministers to have a good relationship with the White House , but I am delighted to find the many areas in which the incoming Biden-Harris administration is able to make common cause with us — in particular , it was extremely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what he wants to do with the [ 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference ] next year , in which… the U.K. is leading the world in driving down carbon emissions and tackling climate change.
’ There ’ s an implicit stark contrast with the Trump administration ’ s behavior in Johnson ’ s remarks about his conversation with Biden .
Donald and those closest to him have routinely dismissed environmental concerns in favor of goals like paving the way for big business .
Johnson ’ s comments suggested that speaking with Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ excellent.
” Donald Trump , as his public behavior has made abundantly clear , is belligerently self-obsessed , and this self-obsession has carried over into his relationships with U.S. allies , who he has routinely derided during his time in office .
Trump has imploded global cooperative efforts like the Paris Climate Accord , Iran nuclear deal ( which the U.K. signed onto alongside the U.S. ) , and more .
Johnson is not the only perceived Trump ally who has signaled their readiness for the incoming Biden-Harris administration .
Israeli Prime Minister @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Netanyahu , another right-winger , said that he looks forward to working with Biden and Harris “ to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel.
” In a follow-up message , Netanyahu thanked Trump for his “ friendship ” for the state of Israel and “ for bringing the American-Israeli alliance to unprecedented heights.
” No matter the niceties , the underlying implication here is crystal clear — Donald Trump lost , plain and simple , and it ’ s time for him to go .

The world is moving on without Donald Trump, whether or not he is willing to accept the reality of his recent presidential election loss. Current British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a Conservative, is among the world leaders who’ve already personally spoken with President-elect Joe Biden, and during comments in the British Parliament this week, he majorly talked up the conversation between the two of them. Johnson said that his conversation with Biden was “refreshing,” and he said that the two leaders “strongly agreed on the need for the United Kingdom and the United States to stand together” to protect human rights, defend NATO. fight climate change, and more.
During his conversation with members of the British Parliament, Angela Eagle — a member of the left-wing Labour Party — asked Johnson if he had any “advice for his erstwhile best friend, President Trump,” in the wake of Donald’s “embarrassing” refusal to accept the basic reality of the results of the recent election that he lost. In his response, Johnson referred to Trump as the “former” president, making clear that Donald really doesn’t have many, if any global allies in his fight against the election results.
Johnson said, in part, as follows:
‘I had and have a good relationship with the previous president… It is the duty of all British Prime Ministers to have a good relationship with the White House, but I am delighted to find the many areas in which the incoming Biden-Harris administration is able to make common cause with us — in particular, it was extremely exciting to talk to President-elect Biden about what he wants to do with the [2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference] next year, in which… the U.K. is leading the world in driving down carbon emissions and tackling climate change.’
Watch Johnson’s comments below:

There’s an implicit stark contrast with the Trump administration’s behavior in Johnson’s remarks about his conversation with Biden. Donald and those closest to him have routinely dismissed environmental concerns in favor of goals like paving the way for big business.
Johnson’s comments suggested that speaking with Trump may not have been quite so “excellent.” Donald Trump, as his public behavior has made abundantly clear, is belligerently self-obsessed, and this self-obsession has carried over into his relationships with U.S. allies, who he has routinely derided during his time in office. Trump has imploded global cooperative efforts like the Paris Climate Accord, Iran nuclear deal (which the U.K. signed onto alongside the U.S.), and more.

Johnson is not the only perceived Trump ally who has signaled their readiness for the incoming Biden-Harris administration. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has done the same. Netanyahu, another right-winger, said that he looks forward to working with Biden and Harris “to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel.” In a follow-up message, Netanyahu thanked Trump for his “friendship” for the state of Israel and “for bringing the American-Israeli alliance to unprecedented heights.” No matter the niceties, the underlying implication here is crystal clear — Donald Trump lost, plain and simple, and it’s time for him to go.
Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Joe, we’ve had a long & warm personal relationship for nearly 40 years, and I know you as a great friend of Israel. I look forward to working with both of you to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel. — Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) November 8, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-11-11--PA Judge Shames Trump Lawyer Over Lack Of Fraud Evidence

What is Donald Trump up to these waning days of his presidency ?
He has been uncharacteristically quiet .
It appears that he has been hiding out in the White House probably watch TV , because he certainly is not doing his job .
There are three possible reasons for this relative silence .
Perhaps , the president is living in an even more wildly disillusional world than before , unable to take in that he actually has lost .
He is a world-class loser coping by means of his fantasies .
Another possibility is that he is cooking up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his so-called enemies , and there are plenty in this category now .
A final reason is that he is up to something truly morbid .
If he can not win , he will take the whole country down the fiery drain with him .
Business Investigative Reporter for The New York Times Jessica Silver-Greenberg may have clue about what is going on with 45 .
She dug out a transcript from one of the many lawsuits happening in courts all across the country .
This is a dialogue between a judge and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ THE COURT : Are you claiming that there is any fraud in connection with these 592 disputed ballots ?
MR. GOLDSTEIN : To my knowledge at the present , no .
THE COURT : Are you claiming there is any undue or improper influence upon the elector with respect to these 592 ballots ?
MR. GOLDSTEIN : To my knowledge at present , no.
’ Silver-Greenberg tweeted that the “ Fake News Media ” is using Philadelphia Commissioner Al Schmidt and “ RINO ” to undermine the critical Philadelphia election .
She @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ mountain of corruption & dishonesty .
We win !
” That sounded as if there are definitely real examples of “ Fake News.

What is Donald Trump up to these waning days of his presidency? He has been uncharacteristically quiet. It appears that he has been hiding out in the White House probably watch TV, because he certainly is not doing his job. There are three possible reasons for this relative silence.
Perhaps, the president is living in an even more wildly disillusional world than before, unable to take in that he actually has lost. He is a world-class loser coping by means of his fantasies. Another possibility is that he is cooking up plans to take out his rage on his so-called enemies, and there are plenty in this category now. A final reason is that he is up to something truly morbid. If he cannot win, he will take the whole country down the fiery drain with him.
Business Investigative Reporter for The New York Times Jessica Silver-Greenberg may have clue about what is going on with 45. She dug out a transcript from one of the many lawsuits happening in courts all across the country. This is a dialogue between a judge and one of Trump’s attorneys:
‘THE COURT: Are you claiming that there is any fraud in connection with these 592 disputed ballots?
MR. GOLDSTEIN: To my knowledge at the present, no. THE COURT: Are you claiming there is any undue or improper influence upon the elector with respect to these 592 ballots? MR. GOLDSTEIN: To my knowledge at present, no.’
Silver-Greenberg tweeted that the “Fake News Media” is using Philadelphia Commissioner Al Schmidt and “RINO” to undermine the critical Philadelphia election. She claimed that Schmidt refused to consider a “mountain of corruption & dishonesty. We win!” That sounded as if there are definitely real examples of “Fake News.” Ironically, it falls on the Republican side.
Take a look at her post:
‘A guy named Al Schmidt, a Philadelphia Commissioner and so-called Republican (RINO), is being used big time by the Fake News Media to explain how honest things were with respect to the Election in Philadelphia. He refuses to look at a mountain of corruption & dishonesty. We win!’

bipartisanreport--2020-11-11--CNN Fact-Checks 8 Biggest Fraud Lies & Trump Goes 0-8

President Donald Trump has been repeatedly claiming that widespread fraud marked the recent presidential election , which he claims was “ rigged ” against him , but there is not and has never been any meaningful evidence supporting this conspiracy theory .
One of the president ’ s own principal pieces of supposed evidence falls apart under slight scrutiny .
He has complained that vote tallies have changed as time has passed following Election Day , insisting that the changes are evidence of a late-stage Democratic plot to fabricate votes and steal the election — but these claims are ludicrous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ valid votes have been getting counted , as takes place after every election .
CNN ’ s John Avlon tears apart eight of the president ’ s biggest lies in a new fact-check that he delivered on Wednesday .
The president ’ s lies , Avlon noted , “ are about playing to conservative crowds , demonizing Democrats , and dominating the partisan news cycle.
” He wants to swamp the truth .
On CNN , Avlon said , in part , as follows : ‘ When it comes to claims about mass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clear : Trump supporters , you ’ re being lied to .
Donald Trump has a history of lying loudly , turning baseless accusations into play-to-the-base articles of faith .
Now the goal is often to create a fake scandal to distract from a real one , but when the accusation is actually investigated , by Republicans in Congress or the Trump Justice Department , it comes up empty , because there was never anything there.
’ Trump ’ s most infamous lies , as Avlon rehashed , include the claim that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the claim that the Russia investigation was some kind of covert operation targeting the Trump campaign .
Trump has also claimed that his team caught Barack Obama spying on the Trump campaign — but these claims are unequivocally false .
Court-supervised surveillance on ex-Trump associate Carter Page does not equal spying on the Trump campaign — it just doesn ’ t .
Trump has also previously claimed that mass fraud has plagued U.S. elections — he even claimed , ludicrously , that millions of illegal votes had been cast during the 2016 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ popular vote to Hillary Clinton despite his electoral college victory .
No evidence has ever emerged that even remotely supports Trump ’ s claim of millions of illegal votes .
It ’ s pie-in-the-sky lunacy .
Trump ’ s lies , of course , go back before he even ran for president .
He was one of the most prominent backers of the racist conspiracy theory that Barack Obama might not have been born in the United States , a claim that never had any meaningful backing whatsoever .

Then, there was the three-cranky-bears syndrome. With the president so unpredictable, no wonder these three were so cranky.
In the role of Mama Bear, a Republican poll watcher complained about one of the workers was wearing Black Lives Matter gear — in the predominately Black neighborhood. Then, she claimed one of them had followed her too closely, according to The Washington Post:
‘[He] was a man of intimidating size.’
In the role of Papa Bear, the second Republican poll watcher did not like the public address system (the PA). He complained it was too loud, and the workers were using it for announcements:
‘This was very distracting to those of us trying to concentrate.’
Then, there was the crankiest of all, the Baby Bear role that went to the third poll watcher whose antenna went up when the military personnel absentee ballots came in. Too many were for Democrats. What was up with that? He said:
‘I can estimate that at least 80% of military ballots I saw were straight ticket Democrat or simply had Joe Biden’s name filled in on them. I had always been told that military people tended to be conservative, so this stuck out to me.’
Trump’s campaign attorneys had a request of a federal judge on Wednesday:
‘[B]lock the state of Michigan from certifying the results of its presidential election.’
The problem was that President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris were ahead of Trump by approximately 148,000 votes. That would fall into POTUS’ fantasy phase.
One complaint in the upcoming lawsuit was the campaign’s election observers were “forced” to stay more than six feet from the election workers in the Detroit Wayne County counting center, according to The Business Insider. Apparently, the observers were not particularly concerned with contracting the COVID-19 virus, after over 238,000 Americans had already died.
But the lawsuit alleged the distancing also meant:
‘Republican challengers were not allowed to meaningfully observe the ballot counting process.’
The lawsuit claimed that, compounded with other irregularities with the ballot-counting process, meant Wayne County didn’t properly follow Michigan’s election laws. Or so they said.
The attorneys guaranteed they had “shocking” evidence of wrong-doing. The campaign came up with 238 affidavits from poll watchers across Michigan who swore there was “rude behavior” or “unpleasant looks” from the people trying to do their jobs. There was zero evidence in these affidavits of serious fraud, but a lot of crankiness.
Texas pulled out all of the stops. The lieutenant governor said he would pay anyone with evidence of voter fraud a one-million-dollar reward. The GOP has a webpage for any voters to report any problems.
Attorney for Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) appeared in court Monday and said:
‘This is an effort to find a problem when one does not exist.’
Nationally-recognized Republican election attorney working with Senate candidate John James (R), Charlie Spies, said:
‘While some of the currently filed affidavits are about small-bore concerns, there is a broad pattern emerging which raises concerns about the process of counting votes in Wayne County.’
Spokesperson for the White House and Trump’s campaign Kayleigh McEnany went on Fox News late Tuesday where she said:
‘These are real, and anyone who cares about transparency and integrity of the system should want this to proceed to the discovery phase.’
The Washington Post went over the affidavits on Wednesday, and found they amounted to nothing more than Republican poll watcher complaints, such as this one:
‘I felt intimidated by union people who were staring at me.’

Carroll released an excerpt from her book What Do We Need Men For? in New York Magazine. Trump claimed he never met her and that she was “not his type.”
The Jezebel reported that a federal judge ruled that President Donald Trump can, indeed, be sued as a private citizen. That means her defamation lawsuit against him will be able to move forward. The judge further ruled that the Department of Justice could not interfere on behalf of Trump’s attorneys.
A federal judge held a telephone conference in regard to Carroll’s defamation lawsuit against the president on Wednesday. That indicated that the case will, indeed, move forward. He will be out of office in 10 weeks.
Roberta Kaplan, Carroll’s attorney, released this statement:
‘We look forward to finally moving ahead with discovery in the case, which has been on hold since Trump filed his motion for a stay last February, and look forward to the initial conference in E Jean Carroll’s case on Dec. 11, if the parties cannot agree on a schedule.’
The Guardian wrote about Carroll’s description of her rape in her book:
‘Despite Carroll’s preternatural fortitude, this is a harrowing read. She won’t admit it, but it seems her encounter with Trump stopped her in her tracks./
Carroll said that she has not had sex since her assault:
‘The desire for desire was over. It was just pretty much dead.’
The Guardian continued:
‘Some scars can’t be whitewashed with good cheer. The past always finds a way to come back and bite you…It seems “Chin up. Move on” isn’t always the advice that works, even for this ever-positive columnist.’
The story describes her as “a cross between LucileBall and Annie Oakley:
‘But wherever you land on “rape” v “fight”, What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal is an entertaining and rage-making romp of a read. A cross between Lucile Ball and Annie Oakley, Auntie E, as her Elle readers call her, is a fearless, madcap journalist whose breezy, bubbly writing style is a pleasure to read.’
Readers will notice that she does not use the word “rape.” Why would she do that?
‘Carroll has resisted using the word rape to describe what she says Trump did to her. She says she has a variety of reasons for this, including that she doesn’t want to be viewed as a victim. Instead, she characterizes the encounter as a “colossal struggle” and a “fight”. She told two friends after it happened, who have confirmed her story to the New York Times. For years, like so many women, she blamed herself.’

Items of value — like a place to live and accounting services — ordinarily can ’ t be claimed by employers under a tax exemption for gifts to employees , Bloomberg explains .

Top Senate Republicans have indicated that they believe that it ’ s appropriate for President-elect Joe Biden to begin receiving daily intelligence briefings , which contrasts strikingly with outgoing President Donald Trump ’ s refusal to accept the fact that Biden won the recent presidential election in the first place .

” To be clear : the outcome of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won .
Republicans just keep providing lip service to Trump ’ s lies that there ’ s potentially system-threatening fraud that could hand the election to Trump once battles play out in court .
Trump has yet to produce any meaningful evidence of the kind of election fraud that he has alleged .
The decision to allow Biden access to presidential daily intelligence briefings falls on the Trump administration itself .
Allowing Biden to access the briefings could be a de facto admission of Trump ’ s sinking political prospects , and those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this basic reality .
The General Services Administration — a government agency that would apparently handle granting Biden access to the briefings — has also so far resisted officially acknowledging Biden as the president-elect , and this refusal means that transition funding has been held up .

Meanwhile , Sen. Graham — who was recently re-elected — said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” when recently questioned about whether Biden should have access to daily intelligence briefings .
Sen. Grassley said that he “ would think — especially on classified briefings — [ that the ] answer is yes , ” that Biden should have access .

A Biden presidency is not a possible contingency — it ’ s what ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sen. Marco Rubio ( Fl . )

Why is reality so difficult to accept for these top Republican allies of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Top Senate Republicans have indicated that they believe that it’s appropriate for President-elect Joe Biden to begin receiving daily intelligence briefings, which contrasts strikingly with outgoing President Donald Trump’s refusal to accept the fact that Biden won the recent presidential election in the first place.

Lankford told radio station KRMG that Biden getting the briefings “needs to occur so that regardless of the outcome of the election, whichever way that it goes, people can be ready for that actual task.” To be clear: the outcome of the election is already established, and Biden won. Republicans just keep providing lip service to Trump’s lies that there’s potentially system-threatening fraud that could hand the election to Trump once battles play out in court. Trump has yet to produce any meaningful evidence of the kind of election fraud that he has alleged.
The decision to allow Biden access to presidential daily intelligence briefings falls on the Trump administration itself. Allowing Biden to access the briefings could be a de facto admission of Trump’s sinking political prospects, and those closest to the president have consistently resisted this basic reality.
The General Services Administration — a government agency that would apparently handle granting Biden access to the briefings — has also so far resisted officially acknowledging Biden as the president-elect, and this refusal means that transition funding has been held up. The General Services Administration has so far declined to say whether they’ve been blocking the Biden team’s access to transition resources at the direction of the president or White House.
Meanwhile, Sen. Graham — who was recently re-elected — said “yeah, I think he should,” when recently questioned about whether Biden should have access to daily intelligence briefings. Sen. Grassley said that he “would think — especially on classified briefings — [that the] answer is yes,” that Biden should have access. Sen. John Thune (S.D.) agreed — tepidly — stating that he thinks “that it probably makes sense to prepare for all contingencies,” apparently including a Biden presidency. A Biden presidency is not a possible contingency — it’s what’s going to begin next January.
Sen. Marco Rubio (Fl.) — another Republican who won’t give up on the president’s conspiracy theories about potential widespread fraud — said that he doesn’t “think it prejudices the President’s legal claims in any way to begin the transition work just in case.” Again — preparing for a Biden presidency isn’t a “just in case” scenario. It’s reality. Why is reality so difficult to accept for these top Republican allies of the president? Trump is a consistent fraudster.

President-elect Joe Biden may be the best-prepared president in decades. He has already assumed the presidential mantle in spite of the madness of Trumpism. He knows that rationality must take over the country during the transition of power. Even most of the Republican senators will eventually rise to the realities of the government of these United States.
Biden is about to be the second Catholic president. He goes to church every week but lives his religious beliefs rather than talks about them. You know, the “do unto others” sort of thing. There is no way we would find him standing in front of his church waving his Bible around, upside-down, for a photo op.
In a Biden-Harris news release, Biden noted that he had spoken with Pope Francis among other world leaders, according to NBC New York:
‘JUST IN: @JoeBiden spoke today with the Pope and said he wants to work with him “on issues such as caring for the marginalized and the poor, addressing the crisis of climate change, and welcoming and integrating immigrants and refugees into our communities.”’
Donald Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is still in the madness phase and is holding hostage a stack of well wishes. Biden has already spoken to a number of world leaders by phone anyway, since he won the presidential election.
Thursday, Biden had a conversation with Pope Francis. The campaign released a statement thanking the pontiff:
‘[For] extending blessings and congratulations and noted his appreciation [of the Pope’s] leadership in promoting peace, reconciliation, and the common bonds of humanity around the world.’
The president-elect also said he would like to work together with the Pope:
‘[To further] a shared belief in the dignity and equality of all humankind on issues such as caring for the marginalized and the poor, addressing the crisis of climate change, and welcoming and integrating immigrants.’
President John F. Kennedy was the only other member of the Catholic faith to serve in office. Biden matter-of-factly has talked about how important his faith is to him. He attends Mass close to his home in Wilmington, DE.
Pope Francis said this about the corona pandemic causing “unprecedented economic and social challenges,” according to The Vatican News:
‘[It shows how the human family] is in the same boat. Nowadays too many people in the world are forced to cling to barges in an attempt to seek refuge from the viruses of injustice, violence, and war.’
The president-elect selected his chief of staff Ron Klain Wednesday and has many other members of his coronavirus advisory board already installed.
The president-elect has also spoken to other foreign leaders. Among them are German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Election officials, both Republican and Democratic, across the nation have vouched for no real election irregularities. Trump even invited two groups of international election observers to watch. The process came out with high marks.
The future of the Senate hangs in the balance of two Georgia runoff races in January.

bipartisanreport--2020-11-12--Judge Tosses Another Trump Lawsuit & Delivers Win To CNN

Earlier this year , the Trump campaign sued CNN , accusing the outlet of libel over a June 2019 op-ed by writer Larry Noble — and U.S. District Judge Michael L. Brown has now dismissed the Trump team ’ s complaint .
Noble had written that “ the Trump campaign assessed the potential risks and benefits of again seeking Russia ’ s help in 2020 and has decided to leave that option on the table , ” which the Trump campaign alleged was libelous , alleging that the outlet “ clearly had a malicious motive , ” but Brown concluded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the evidence at hand .
Brown wrote that “ most of the allegations in the complaint regarding actual malice are conclusory .
Plaintiff , for example , alleges in a purely conclusory manner that Defendants ‘ clearly had a malicious motive ’ and ‘ knowingly disregarded all… information when it published the Defamatory Article.
” As Deadline notes , the Trump campaign ’ s legal team had a steep potential climb ahead of it right from the start .
Trump ’ s lawyers had “ to show that the network knew the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or acted with gross negligence , ” the outlet explains — and they failed .
Brown did dismiss CNN ’ s characterization of the originally scrutinized comments as mere opinion rather than an assertion of apparent fact .
As for the substance of Noble ’ s allegation — it ’ s Donald Trump himself who once claimed while in office that “ there isn ’ t anything wrong with listening ” to a foreign government offering dirt on a domestic political opponent .
During the 2016 election cycle , Russian operatives collected some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats and spread it through outlets like WikiLeaks , with news organizations , the Trump campaign , and others subsequently spreading the material even further .
At one point during the 2016 cycle , Trump openly encouraged Russia to go after Hillary Clinton ’ s private emails .
He later claimed to have been joking , suggesting that folks around him were clearly in on the joke and laughing at the time .
They were not .
The defeat for the Trump campaign in the CNN libel case emerged amidst a nationwide flurry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the recent presidential election .
Many of these lawsuits have gone absolutely nowhere .
The Trump team has faced off with CNN in court before .
After the White House punitively revoked the press credential of CNN ’ s Jim Acosta , the outlet took the White House to court and won their effort to get Acosta ’ s press access reinstated .

Earlier this year, the Trump campaign sued CNN, accusing the outlet of libel over a June 2019 op-ed by writer Larry Noble — and U.S. District Judge Michael L.

Noble had written that “the Trump campaign assessed the potential risks and benefits of again seeking Russia’s help in 2020 and has decided to leave that option on the table,” which the Trump campaign alleged was libelous, alleging that the outlet “clearly had a malicious motive,” but Brown concluded that their claim is just not supported by the evidence at hand.
Brown wrote that “most of the allegations in the complaint regarding actual malice are conclusory. Plaintiff, for example, alleges in a purely conclusory manner that Defendants ‘clearly had a malicious motive’ and ‘knowingly disregarded all… information when it published the Defamatory Article.” As Deadline notes, the Trump campaign’s legal team had a steep potential climb ahead of it right from the start. Trump’s lawyers had “to show that the network knew the statement was false but published it anyway or acted with gross negligence,” the outlet explains — and they failed. Brown did dismiss CNN’s characterization of the originally scrutinized comments as mere opinion rather than an assertion of apparent fact.
As for the substance of Noble’s allegation — it’s Donald Trump himself who once claimed while in office that “there isn’t anything wrong with listening” to a foreign government offering dirt on a domestic political opponent. During the 2016 election cycle, Russian operatives collected some of this “dirt” on the Democrats and spread it through outlets like WikiLeaks, with news organizations, the Trump campaign, and others subsequently spreading the material even further.

He later claimed to have been joking, suggesting that folks around him were clearly in on the joke and laughing at the time. They were not.
The defeat for the Trump campaign in the CNN libel case emerged amidst a nationwide flurry of Republican lawsuits challenging the integrity of the recent presidential election. Many of these lawsuits have gone absolutely nowhere. The Trump team has faced off with CNN in court before. After the White House punitively revoked the press credential of CNN’s Jim Acosta, the outlet took the White House to court and won their effort to get Acosta’s press access reinstated.

Users are told to use it or lose it, their jobs that is. It is tough to learn when a person is terrified of a major enforced change, as most of us are, at least a little bit, and fearful of losing their jobs.
Michigan’s and Georgia’s local governments bought software from Dominion Voting Systems for the heavy election lifts. The company provides voting machines, ballot-counting machines, and software for governments to collate and tabulate the election results.
Dominion sells software all across the country. The idea that “software glitches” caused mistakes in the two state’s communities was wrong, baseless, according to The New York Times.
So what was the problem? Troubleshooting showed that only two of the five counties that ran into trouble used Dominion software. In addition, the counties had a troubleshooting ticket for every issue, and the cause was never the software.
According to the Michigan Department of State, county officials, and election-security experts identified human errors as the source of the mistakes. Only one of the two counties with problems used Dominion.
In Georgia, the troubleshooting found a definite link between the software and official reporting vote tallies being delayed. However, the problem did not affect the vote count. Georgia had two other counties that used a different company’s software. It slowed the poll workers’ voter check-in process, but again did not affect the vote outcome.
Election-technology expert at the OSET Institute, which studies voting infrastructure, Edward Perez said:
‘Many of the claims being asserted about Dominion and questionable voting technology is misinformation at best and, in many cases, they’re outright disinformation. I’m not aware of any evidence of specific things or defects in Dominion software that would lead one to believe that votes had been recorded or counted incorrectly.’
The Right-wingers and conspiracy theorists blamed Dominion for errors in the voter tallies. Naturally, Donald Trump shot a Breitbart News article into Twitter world. The article was filled with misinformation, blamed the software company, and erroneously linked Michigan and Georgia’s problems.
The Rochester Hills, Michigan Republican clerk Tina Barton said that the county’s votes were rapidly counted two times. She posted a video online:
‘As a Republican, I am disturbed that this is intentionally being mischaracterized to undermine the election process. This was an isolated mistake that was quickly rectified.’
Election security expert Harri Hursti went to Georgia. He said:
‘People are comparing apples to oranges in the name of Dominion.’
Election-technology researcher Edward Perez noted that more transparency and accountability from the software companies would have been better. However, there was zero evidence of fraud or systemic errors in the 2020 election:
‘It’s reasonable for citizens and politicians to look at the role of private vendors in the machinery of democracy and to ask questions. Now that doesn’t mean elections are rigged.’

bipartisanreport--2020-11-12--Trump Announces 2.7M Deleted Votes During Delirious Afternoon Breakdown

In an all-caps Thursday Twitter meltdown , President Donald Trump claimed that Dominion Voting Systems software “ DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE.
” There is absolutely zero meaningful evidence for this unhinged claim .
The nonsensical tirade hearkens back to Trump ’ s own claims after the 2016 election that millions of illegal votes had been cast in that year ’ s presidential race .
There ’ s never been any meaningful evidence supporting this Trump claim , and neither is there any meaningful evidence supporting the president ’ s claims about this election .
Instead of acknowledging ignorance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to prefer to allege widespread fraud .
Trump ’ s kooky tweet alleging that millions of his votes were deleted — in which he cites the far-right propagandists at One America News Network — reads as follows : Again — there is no meaningful evidence supporting the president ’ s claim , which Twitter quickly marked as “ disputed.
” Millions of Trump votes were not deleted nationwide , and this assertion is not in question — it is basic , duly established fact .
Republicans have complained about Dominion Voting Systems software @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counties that suffered mishaps during their initial post-election reporting of results .
In two Michigan counties where documented mistakes emerged in initial tallies , human errors sparked the problems — not software .
In Antrim County , Michigan , workers accidentally programmed the Dominion Voting Systems software ’ s reporting mechanism incorrectly .
In another Michigan county with an initial error — where locals did not use Dominion software — workers accidentally counted votes from a city called Rochester Hills twice .
Meanwhile , in one Georgia county , “ an apparent problem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the vote tallies but did not affect the actual vote count , ” the Hartford Courant explains .
In other words — there ’ s again no evidence here of some kind of systematic fraud , let alone of the deletion of millions of Trump votes .
Ignorant so-called data analyses do not equal tangible evidence of fraud .

In an all-caps Thursday Twitter meltdown, President Donald Trump claimed that Dominion Voting Systems software “DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE.” There is absolutely zero meaningful evidence for this unhinged claim. The nonsensical tirade hearkens back to Trump’s own claims after the 2016 election that millions of illegal votes had been cast in that year’s presidential race. There’s never been any meaningful evidence supporting this Trump claim, and neither is there any meaningful evidence supporting the president’s claims about this election. Instead of acknowledging ignorance surrounding basic electoral processes, Republicans seem to prefer to allege widespread fraud.
Trump’s kooky tweet alleging that millions of his votes were deleted — in which he cites the far-right propagandists at One America News Network — reads as follows:
‘“REPORT: DOMINION DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE. DATA ANALYSIS FINDS 221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN. 941,000 TRUMP VOTES DELETED. STATES USING DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS SWITCHED 435,000 VOTES FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN.”’
“REPORT: DOMINION DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE. DATA ANALYSIS FINDS 221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN. 941,000 TRUMP VOTES DELETED. STATES USING DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS SWITCHED 435,000 VOTES FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN.” @ChanelRion @OANN — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2020
Again — there is no meaningful evidence supporting the president’s claim, which Twitter quickly marked as “disputed.” Millions of Trump votes were not deleted nationwide, and this assertion is not in question — it is basic, duly established fact.
Republicans have complained about Dominion Voting Systems software over its usage in a couple of counties that suffered mishaps during their initial post-election reporting of results. In two Michigan counties where documented mistakes emerged in initial tallies, human errors sparked the problems — not software. In Antrim County, Michigan, workers accidentally programmed the Dominion Voting Systems software’s reporting mechanism incorrectly. In another Michigan county with an initial error — where locals did not use Dominion software — workers accidentally counted votes from a city called Rochester Hills twice. Meanwhile, in one Georgia county, “an apparent problem with Dominion software delayed officials’ reporting of the vote tallies but did not affect the actual vote count,” the Hartford Courant explains.
In other words — there’s again no evidence here of some kind of systematic fraud, let alone of the deletion of millions of Trump votes. Ignorant so-called data analyses do not equal tangible evidence of fraud.
