Melania’s then-close friend Stephanie Wolkoff suggested a more reasonable price via an email to Ivanka and Gates. She added that Union Station and other locations had offered their spaces for inauguration events at zero dollars:
‘In my opinion, the max rental fee should be $85,000 per day.’
Damelincourt did not like that:
‘Rick … just heard that the Friday night reception had been canceled. Is it accurate? Tough on us if it is as it was a lot of revenue.’
Trump raised over $107 million, more than double what President Obama raised. Trump’s hotel nearly filled to a capacity of 263 rooms. Normally, that would mean the ballroom space would come as free or at a greatly reduced discount.


bipartisanreport--2020-12-09--Trump Snaps & Screams ‘Rigged Election!’ During Morning Meltdown

President Donald Trump continues to allege that fraudsters rigged the recently concluded presidential election against him , no matter the total lack of meaningful evidence supporting this idea .
He has expressed public support for a new lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton , a Republican , who is trying to get the U.S. Supreme Court to invalidate the election results from Georgia , Pennsylvania , Michigan , and Wisconsin , alleging that these states unconstitutionally expanded mail-in voting .
On Wednesday morning , Trump claimed on Twitter that there “ is massive evidence of widespread fraud in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Texas suit , ” which just is not accurate .
Trump and his allies have raised these claims of systematic election fraud in a slew of court cases around the country , and they have failed to notch a single victory that comes remotely close to shifting the outcome of the election .
If the supposed evidence for their fraud theories was truly so compelling , then why have so many conservative and liberal judges rejected the claims ?
Would Trump suggest that the judges are in on the imaginary fraud too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ often seems like a Trump loyalist , has insisted that no evidence of election outcome-altering fraud has emerged — would Trump suggest that Bill Barr is in on the plot too ?
On Wednesday , Trump added the following message on Twitter : ‘ We will soon be learning about the word “ courage ” , and saving our Country .
I received hundreds of thousands of legal votes more , in all of the Swing States , than did my opponent .
ALL Data taken after the vote says that it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FIXED !
’ Trump ’ s claims are simply fictional .
He talks as if his allegations of receiving “ hundreds of thousands of legal votes more ” than Biden are proven , but they ’ re simply not established fact , at all .
His claims are based in ignorance , willful or otherwise .
The kind of fraud that Trump ludicrously alleges took place on the basis of bits and pieces of information and lies mashed together would likely require the cooperation of thousands of people across the country .
Problematically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t , of course , the work of some random person on the internet — they ’ re the work of the president of the United States .
Trump is casting his conspiratorial fight against the election results in disturbingly grandiose terms , as if he ’ s leading some kind of cult .

bipartisanreport--2020-12-09--Nevada Supreme Court Issues Unanimous Rejection Of Trump Election Appeal

On Tuesday , the Nevada Supreme Court issued a unanimous rejection of a Trump campaign appeal in which the president ’ s legal team was seeking to set aside the presidential election results in the state , where President-elect Joe Biden won .
In their lawsuit , the Trump campaign claimed that “ more than 61,000 people voted twice or from out of state , ” The Washington Post explains , but there ’ s simply no legitimate evidence for the campaign ’ s claims of systematic fraud in the actual circumstances of the election .
Out-of-state voters in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and their spouses , who are specifically permitted to maintain Nevada voter registrations under state law , even if transferred elsewhere .
The Nevada Supreme Court ruling was 6-0 , with one justice , Elissa Cadish , voluntarily stepping back from the case because of her personal connections to a number of the Biden-backing members of the electoral college from Nevada .
The state Supreme Court ruling emerged shortly after Nevada District Court Judge James T. Russell ruled decisively against the Trump campaign ’ s efforts in the same case , concluding that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fraud were simply not grounded in fact .
The Supreme Court in the state concluded similarly , writing that the campaign had failed to describe “ any unsupported factual findings ” in Russell ’ s original decision .
In other words , the campaign failed to disprove any of Judge Russell ’ s fundamental characterizations of their case , leaving his previous “ factual findings ” firmly in place .
The Nevada Supreme Court wrote , in part , as follows : ‘ To prevail on this appeal , appellants must demonstrate error @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supported by substantial evidence or an abuse of discretion in the admission or rejection of evidence by the district court .
We are not convinced they have done so.
’ On Tuesday , the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request for a temporary injunction in a case that Pennsylvania Republicans brought against the election results in their state , where President-elect Biden also won .
On the same day , Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton , a Republican , announced a lawsuit in which he ’ d attempt to invalidate the election results @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Wisconsin , all of which he alleged unconstitutionally expanded mail-in voting ahead of the general election .
On Twitter , Trump described Texas ’ s case as the “ case that everyone has been waiting for , ” which is just laughable .
Trump and his allies have lost case after case after case — and now observers are supposed to believe that they ’ ve suddenly come up with conclusive evidence for the imaginary fraud ?

The court used the perfect word to describe what Donald Trump has been up to in his 55-plus frivolous lawsuits , “ seditious.
” It means an overt act of rebellion against the established order .
It often has an element of “ subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward , or rebellion against , established authority.
” National security attorney Bradley P. Moss , Esq .
honed right in on the meat of the Supreme Court response : FindLaw.com gives an excellent example of what sedition means : Moss continued , noting that sedition is related to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the group is dead serious in its intentions , but they ’ re thwarted by an FBI investigation that leads to arrests .
While sharing information and discussing ideas — even distasteful ones — is generally protected as free speech , the FBI believes this crosses the line .
The alleged ringleaders of the plot are charged with “ seditious conspiracy ” ( simply referred to as “ sedition “ ) , a federal crime related to treason and other anti-government offenses.
’ The court was not messing around when it condemned the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sedition law was addressed in Title 18 of the U.S. Code ( which includes treason , rebellion , and similar offenses ) , specifically 18 U.S.C .
§ 2384 .
The result is , “ It is a crime for two or more people within the jurisdiction of the United States to commit sedition.
” In order to commit sedition there are three activities required : • ‘ To conspire to overthrow or destroy by force the government of the United States or to level war against them ; • ‘ To oppose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States government ; to prevent , hinder , or delay by force the execution of any law of the United States ; or • ‘ To take , seize , or possess by force any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof.
’ Of course , the government must “ prove that the defendant in fact conspired to use force .

The court used the perfect word to describe what Donald Trump has been up to in his 55-plus frivolous lawsuits, “seditious.” It means an overt act of rebellion against the established order. It often has an element of “subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or rebellion against, established authority.”
National security attorney Bradley P. Moss, Esq. honed right in on the meat of the Supreme Court response:
‘”Seditious abuse of the judicial process” Dayum’
FindLaw.com gives an excellent example of what sedition means:
‘Suppose that over the course of a few months, a small band of armed militants has coordinated strategies to distribute firearms and take over the nation’s capital by force through a website on the clandestine “deep web.”‘
Moss continued, noting that sedition is related to treason:
‘All indications show that the group is dead serious in its intentions, but they’re thwarted by an FBI investigation that leads to arrests. While sharing information and discussing ideas — even distasteful ones — is generally protected as free speech, the FBI believes this crosses the line. The alleged ringleaders of the plot are charged with “seditious conspiracy” (simply referred to as “sedition“), a federal crime related to treason and other anti-government offenses.’
The court was not messing around when it condemned the president for his actions:
‘It refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it. The following provides an overview of this particular crime against the government, with historical references.’
The federal sedition law was addressed in Title 18 of the U.S. Code (which includes treason, rebellion, and similar offenses), specifically 18 U.S.C. § 2384. The result is, “It is a crime for two or more people within the jurisdiction of the United States to commit sedition.”
In order to commit sedition there are three activities required:
‘To conspire to overthrow or destroy by force the government of the United States or to level war against them; ‘To oppose by force the authority of the United States government; to prevent, hinder, or delay by force the execution of any law of the United States; or ‘To take, seize, or possess by force any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof.’
Of course, the government must “prove that the defendant in fact conspired to use force. Simply advocating for the use of force is not the same thing and in most cases is protected as free speech under the First Amendment.”
Okay, this is what sedition is and is not:
‘[T]wo or more people who give public speeches suggesting the need for a total revolution “by any means necessary” have not necessarily conspired to overthrow the government. Rather, they’re just sharing their opinions, however unsavory:
‘But actively planning such an action (distributing guns, working out the logistics of an attack, actively opposing lawful authority, etc.) could be considered a seditious conspiracy.’
So what is the difference between sedition and treason? Sedition is identified in the Constitution (Article III of the U.S. Constitution) in a fundamental way:
‘Sedition goes beyond inciting rebellion against the authority of state. The more serious treason is described as “actively levying war against the United States or giving aid to its enemies. Another way of looking at it is that seditious conspiracy often occurs before an act of treason.”‘

Rep.

Beginning in November, it has been only 16 percent full. As much as Donald Trump tries to wish away the coronavirus and throw the empty catchphrases, his hotel is simply crashing due to the pandemic.
The Trump luxury hotel’s executives were depressed about the hotel’s financial health. After 10 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, they told investors that the hotel’s business heads down in direct proportion to the number of cases increasing. At this point in time, the virus is breaking all of its previous grim records, hitting over 3,000 deaths per day which would be another 123,000 before President-elect Joe Biden takes office. And that is only if the 3,000 number remains fixed, which is unlikely.
The hotel’s general manager (GM) Matthew Vandegrift said on a conference call with investors who own individual rooms, according to The Washington Post:
‘While we were seeing encouraging signs of growth and recovery, that momentum tempered down towards the end of October, with rising covid cases nationwide. The momentum we were experiencing has slowed as of late November.’
The high-end restaurant in the Trump hotel has to abide by New York City’s lockdown restrictions. Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten said that Trump’s company cut his rent by 25 percent. During the first lockdown, he had to lay off 216 employees. Now the city will be looking at another lockdown as the number of cases surge again.

In the 2016 presidential election, Trump cheated with the help of Russia’s Vladimir Putin to win. Yet, it still burns him that Clinton won the popular vote by three million votes.
He and the Republican party have tried to prosecute her for what appears like a quaint charge given Trump’s many, many serious crimes. The Republican-held House grilled her mercilessly for 11 hours and came up empty.
Now, Clinton is getting her revenge as Trump blunders down a pathway of shame. She compared his situation to that of the Hans Christian Anderson tale of the Emperor with no clothes. How apt:
‘The election was not close. There was no evidence of fraud. The states have certified the results. Yet Trump continues to try to overturn the election at the expense of our democracy. The emperor has no clothes. Republican electeds who continue to humor him have no spines.’
State Representative Ryan Bizzarro (D-PA) talked to The New York Times.
‘Those who are continuing to beat on this drum that the election was rigged are trying to appease Trump’s base and get their support early on. ‘Forget all the Democrats who voted by mail — look at all the Republicans who voted by mail,” he said. “Are you saying their voice isn’t as important as the fringe who are blind to facts and the ways our Constitution clearly lays out elections?’
Representative Matt Cartwright (D-PA) pointed at the Republican’s lack of courage regarding the “electoral slate.” It requires the endorsement of one member of the House and one senator when Congress…on Jan. 6 to accept the electoral votes:
‘I’d bet my last dollar that vote will fail. But what will be really interesting is to see which of the Republican members have the courage to ignore that request from Pennsylvania’s General Assembly.’
Twitter world lit up at the mention of Clinton’s name. Take a few minutes to see what some of our favorite responding tweets had to say.

This week , Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton , who is a Republican , announced a lawsuit in which he was challenging the election results in Wisconsin , Pennsylvania , Michigan , and Georgia , all of which , he alleged , unconstitutionally expanded mail-in voting ahead of Election Day .
A full 17 Republican state Attorney Generals from across the United States have joined the Texas lawsuit in support of Paxton ’ s position , and President Donald Trump ’ s own team has done the same .

On Twitter , Jeb Bush — a former Republican governor of Florida — insisted that there ’ s “ no legal theory ” behind the Texas case .
Bush was responding to comments from Texas Senator John Cornyn ( R ) , who also questioned the foundation for the lawsuit , which Paxton filed with the U.S. Supreme Court because of that court ’ s exclusive jurisdiction over court fights between states .
Bush commented as follows : Originally , as reported by CNN ’ s Manu Raju @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : ‘ It ’ s very unusual because when a state sues a state , the Supreme Court of the United States has original jurisdiction , so you don ’ t have to go through the ordinary procedure .

We have a diffused and dispersed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like it , they may think it ’ s unfair , those are decided at the state and local level and not at the national level .
So it ’ s an interesting theory , but I ’ m not convinced.

This week, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is a Republican, announced a lawsuit in which he was challenging the election results in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia, all of which, he alleged, unconstitutionally expanded mail-in voting ahead of Election Day. A full 17 Republican state Attorney Generals from across the United States have joined the Texas lawsuit in support of Paxton’s position, and President Donald Trump’s own team has done the same. Essentially, the lawsuit seeks the invalidation of the documented will of the people in four states where Joe Biden clearly won. On Twitter, Jeb Bush — a former Republican governor of Florida — insisted that there’s “no legal theory” behind the Texas case.
Bush was responding to comments from Texas Senator John Cornyn (R), who also questioned the foundation for the lawsuit, which Paxton filed with the U.S. Supreme Court because of that court’s exclusive jurisdiction over court fights between states. Bush commented as follows:
This is crazy. it will be killed on arrival. Why are smart people advancing this notion? Let it go. The election is over. https://t.co/ocvaAYnata — Jeb Bush (@JebBush) December 11, 2020
‘thank you Senator Cornyn. there is no legal theory and the conservative majority Supreme Court will reject it out of hand.’

He is destroying their faith in our democracy.
Trump has been making the case against him easy. After all, when he tweets it is always about him and projection. So whatever he says about others, he is actually saying about himself. It is not pretty:
‘Voter Fraud! https://t.co/6mLqg6rmIZ — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)’
POTUS talks about voter fraud. He knows that there is no such thing. He is committing voter despair, and that is far worse. This tweet came out of nowhere except his tortured mind. Certainly, “Wisdom and Courage” are not what he or the Congress has expressed.
However, Trump does want his followers to go viral and go attack. Wednesday night, out-of-state protesters surrounded the house of Idaho Health Board Member Diana Lachiondo and banged on the door. Her 12-year-old son was inside, terrified:
‘WISDOM & COURAGE!!!’
Trump did not give one word to the coronvirus, which killed off over 3,000 Americans in the last day. All he cares about is not being a loser, but of course, he is:
‘The Supreme Court has a chance to save our Country from the greatest Election abuse in the history of the United States. 78% of the people feel (know!) the Election was RIGGED.’
The president continued his unhinged twitter rant until his little fingers were bruised from typing:
‘How can you give an election to someone who lost the election by hundreds of thousands of legal votes in each of the swing states. How can a country be run by an illegitimate president?’
‘How does Governor @BrianKempGA allow certification of votes without verifying signatures and despite the recently released tape of ballots being stuffed? His poll numbers have dropped like a rock. He is finished as governor! @RepDougCollins’
‘“Donald Trump won by a landslide, and they stole it from him!” @seanhannity’
‘….The fact that our Country is being stolen. A coup is taking place in front of our eyes, and the public can’t take this anymore.” A Trump fan at Georgia Rally on @OANN Bad!’
‘People are upset, and they have a right to be. Georgia not only supported Trump in 2016, but now. This is the only State in the Deep South that went for Biden? Have they lost their minds? This is going to escalate dramatically. This is a very dangerous moment in our history….’

bipartisanreport--2020-12-10--Wisconsin Federal Court Shames Trump, GOP, & Kraken With Dismissal

Another Trump-allied lawsuit over the election results has failed .
In Wisconsin , Sidney Powell — who the president once announced as a member of his own legal team before a rather unceremonious apparent firing — challenged the presidential election results and , ludicrously , demanded so-called relief in the form of “ [ an ] order requiring [ Wisconsin ] Governor [ Tony ] Evers to transmit certified election results that state that President Donald Trump is the winner of the election.
” In other words , Powell wanted the court to set aside the actual will of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Trump as the winner .
In a new ruling rejecting Powell ’ s unhinged lawsuit , the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Wisconsin noted that “ judges do not appoint the president in this country.
” The Wisconsin court ’ s ruling reads , in part , as follows : ‘ The pleadings that have been filed over the past week are passionate and urgent .
People have strong , deep feelings about the right to vote , the freedom and opportunity to vote and the value of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the legal question at the heart of this case is simple .
Federal courts have limited jurisdiction .
Does a federal court have the jurisdiction and authority to grant the relief this lawsuit seeks ?
The answer is no .
Federal judges do not appoint the president in this country .
One wonders why the plaintiffs came to federal court and asked a federal judge to do so .
After a week of sometimes odd and often harried litigation , the court is no closer to answering the “ why.
” But this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to grant the relief the remaining plaintiff seeks.
’ Fundamentally , Powell ’ s scheme — which included so-called “ Kraken ” lawsuits in other states — is anti-democratic and threatens the very foundation of the electoral process in the United States .
Powell and her allies , including the president himself , have alleged a nationwide election fraud scheme of staggering proportion for which there ’ s simply no legitimate evidence .
Local election officials from around the country , the Department of Homeland Security , and Attorney General Bill Barr have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evidence of election outcome-altering fraud .
Nevertheless , Donald Trump himself has continued to very publicly call for overturning the election outcome , as it stands at present .
On Thursday morning , Trump posted the angry message on Twitter : “ WISDOM & COURAGE !
!

” The implication seems to be that he wants judges to have the “ wisdom and courage ” to go along with his fight against the election results .
In reality , the Trump-allied court fights have consistently failed in front of conservative and liberal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the president ’ s allies have come anywhere close to changing the election outcome .

What do Milosevic in Serbia (2000) Yanukovich in Ukraine (2004) Lukashenko in Belarus (2020) & Trump (2020) have in common? They're all leaders who tried to #OVERTURN the will of the people as expressed in free & fair elections.
