Cindy McCain — the wife of the late John McCain — has endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden , and on Monday , with hours to go until Election Day , she has published a new message of support for Biden ’ s candidacy in USA Today .
McCain directed her pre-Election Day message of support for Biden to fellow Republicans , insisting that she wanted to explain to them why she has concluded that Biden “ is the best choice on this year ’ s ballot to lead the nation as president of the United States.
” McCain cited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American national defense and his readiness to lead the United States out of the Coronavirus pandemic that has ravaged the country .
Biden “ understands the importance of national defense and has a long and strong record of support for the military , ” McCain said .
Trump has reportedly privately referred to fallen soldiers as “ losers ” and “ suckers , ” and publicly , he has repeatedly derided prominent veterans , like Cindy ’ s own late husband , John , who served during the Vietnam War .
Trump has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that provides government support to veterans seeking medical care outside of the VA health system — but it ’ s John McCain himself who co-sponsored the original legislation that originally founded that program .
Trump signed an extension of it into law .
Cindy McCain also said that Americans “ can have every confidence ” that Biden “ will ensure that the country cares for and supports our heroes with the same honor and devotion with which they have served us.

He insists that this coverage is conspiratorially meant to make him look bad , which is nonsense .

In her new piece , Cindy McCain concluded , in part , with the following message : ‘ My husband believed in straight talk and country first .
So do I. Joe Biden is the right choice to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country ’ s history .
He is a patriot who believes passionately in America and the principles and values that make it great .
He will be a leader whom all Americans can count on to put country above party , patriotism above partisanship , and national interest ahead of his own .
Most important , Joe will unite a deeply divided country and bring together all Americans to address and overcome the great challenges we face.

During this year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which Trump won in 2016 — could be a critical pick-up for whichever candidate wins the election .

Cindy McCain — the wife of the late John McCain — has endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, and on Monday, with hours to go until Election Day, she has published a new message of support for Biden’s candidacy in USA Today. McCain directed her pre-Election Day message of support for Biden to fellow Republicans, insisting that she wanted to explain to them why she has concluded that Biden “is the best choice on this year’s ballot to lead the nation as president of the United States.” McCain cited points including Biden’s support for American national defense and his readiness to lead the United States out of the Coronavirus pandemic that has ravaged the country.
Biden “understands the importance of national defense and has a long and strong record of support for the military,” McCain said. Trump has reportedly privately referred to fallen soldiers as “losers” and “suckers,” and publicly, he has repeatedly derided prominent veterans, like Cindy’s own late husband, John, who served during the Vietnam War. Trump has taken credit for a Veterans Choice program that provides government support to veterans seeking medical care outside of the VA health system — but it’s John McCain himself who co-sponsored the original legislation that originally founded that program. Trump signed an extension of it into law.
Cindy McCain also said that Americans “can have every confidence” that Biden “will ensure that the country cares for and supports our heroes with the same honor and devotion with which they have served us.” Veterans won’t be left behind. Critically, she also pointed out Biden’s readiness to lead the U.S. through a meaningful plan to combat the Coronavirus pandemic.
As Cindy McCain put it:
‘[A] President Biden will provide the leadership the country demands to beat the COVID-19 pandemic. No one will work harder in bringing the nation together to achieve the mission. Guided by a genuine spirit of bipartisanship, Joe won’t be looking for Democratic ideas or Republican ideas but the country’s best ideas to ensure that our families, businesses, communities and country recover swiftly.’
Rather than focusing on leading the U.S. through some kind of systematic plan to combat the Coronavirus, Trump has sometimes prioritized complaining about the media coverage that the pandemic has gotten. He insists that this coverage is conspiratorially meant to make him look bad, which is nonsense. American are getting sick and dying, and Trump is still obsessed with himself.
In her new piece, Cindy McCain concluded, in part, with the following message:
‘My husband believed in straight talk and country first. So do I. Joe Biden is the right choice to be president at this pivotal time in the country’s history. He is a patriot who believes passionately in America and the principles and values that make it great. He will be a leader whom all Americans can count on to put country above party, patriotism above partisanship, and national interest ahead of his own. Most important, Joe will unite a deeply divided country and bring together all Americans to address and overcome the great challenges we face.’
John McCain represented Arizona in the U.S. Senate for decades. During this year’s presidential race, Arizona — which Trump won in 2016 — could be a critical pick-up for whichever candidate wins the election.

Donald Trump has agitated his followers, especially right-wing extremists, with his fiery campaign rhetoric. His message to them was “stand back and stand by,” according to The Rolling Stone magazine. A number of these groups considered this a call to arms.
Pro-Trump caravans have been crawling across the country just spoiling for a fight. Dubbed the Trump Train, a caravan of supporters clashed with Richmond, Virginia residents. A group of anti-Trump residents tried to block the caravan, according to The Richmond News site.
When the Trump Train tried to pass a traffic circle on Sunday, the police blocked off the area to traffic. Lee Circle has been the location of “racial justice protests for several months.” Witnesses heard gunshots, and one man discovered a bullet hole in his car.
At least one Trump supporter in the caravan sprayed chemical irritants on the crowd. Another man said he narrowly avoided being run over by jumping onto the hood of a passing car. Another man said he ducked just in time as someone fired a gun at him from a truck. The gunshot occurred after someone else pulled a Trump flag off one of the caravan vehicles:
‘Richmond police said a woman reported at 4:18 p.m. that she had been pepper-sprayed by someone from one of the vehicles. A few minutes later, officers responded to Lee Circle to investigate a report of an unoccupied vehicle that had been struck once by gunfire.’
The Richmond Police Department (RPD) released a statement that read:
‘No other injuries were reported to the Richmond Police Department. Officers responded to clear the area and investigate the assault.’
In an interview, pedestrian Gary Fogel said he had been trying to cross Monument Avenue in the circle. Then, a car tried to hit him. He jumped upon its hood to save himself bloodying his knees:
‘I’d be dead right now. He stopped and I flew off the car and he took off around me.’
Jody Adams came to the Lee Statue Sunday, because he wanted to record Trump supporters passing by. He caught a guy pulling a Trump flag off of one of the pickups. Then, he heard a gunshot and later found a bullet hole in the side of his car:
‘The guys in the cars got upset.’
Given Talor said he was with the man who grabbed the Trump flags from the caravan. Someone opened a truck window and began yelling at Talor.
Anti-Trumper Lawrence West said one of the trucks “pepper-sprayed a woman.” West said he started yelling at one of the vehicles for having “a child in the backseat:”
“They came down here to instigate a confrontation.’
First District seat on the Richmond City Council candidate Mike Dickinson rode in a pickup at the front of the pro-Trump caravan. He blamed the crowds for standing in the road and attempting to stop the caravan. People were “beating on cars and that one person punched and broke a Trump supporter’s car window.” Someone threw a liquor bottle at Dickinson:
‘Seven or eight people jumped out in the road in front of us. They were walking out into traffic and sitting down. If anybody was hit, it was their own fault. [He] heard something like a firecracker [but] could not confirm or deny [gunfire.]’
He continued:
‘I’m a taxpayer and I can go anywhere I want in the city anytime. Monument Avenue is owned by “We the People.” How is it aggressive to fly an American flag?’
Dickinson said this Trump Train 2 was the second consecutive weekend that such a caravan had passed by this location. He claimed up to 350 vehicles were in the train. Other witnesses said 15 to 40 vehicles.

Fox decided to call Arizona for the president’s opponent Joe Biden right before 11:30 last night. Trump hopped onto his phone and began screaming at the media mogul, demanding a retraction. Murdoch said no. Trump does not realize he is a lame-duck president, and his power quickly seeped out of the back door along with his Attorney General (AG) William Barr. Maybe, the president should look around for his AG, who has been markedly missing.
The two elderly TV men have been at it for months regarding how Fox has covered the election. POTUS complained about Fox’s polls, assuming that the network would fawn over him as the talking heads in the night did.
Murdoch has been calling the Trump campaign’s loss for months, even as the president complained to him, as if there was no difference between the news division and the opinion people:
‘We called it long before MSNBC! We were so worried about being seen as pro-Trump that we bent over backwards.’
Former adviser to Trump, Sam Nunberg said:
‘Fox News committed news malpractice and voter suppression last night. There’s got to be a change there or there will be major consequences. Chris Wallace wouldn’t shut up the whole night! I switched to CNN anytime he came on.’
After chewing on Murdoch, Trump decided to crown himself king of these United States. At about 2:30 a.m., according to Joe Pompeo speaking to TheVanity Fair:
‘[He did the] unhinged, dangerous, democracy-destabilizing thing that we all hoped we wouldn’t have to see him do, giving a speech at the White House in which he prematurely declared victory even as millions upon millions of legitimate votes were still being counted.’
The purpose of all of Trump’s dictator “bluster” was frame the results in his favor. MSNBC’s Brian Williams said:
‘We are reluctant to step in, but duty bound to point out when he says, ‘We did win this election, we’ve already won,’ that’s not based in the facts at all.’
Also with Williams, Nicolle Wallace said:
‘It’s straight-up autocratic malarkey, and what we have to keep in mind is that he’s not the boss of the counting.’
Charlotte Klein commented:
‘Trumpworld isn’t happy with Fox News, which leaped ahead of its network competitors in calling Arizona for Biden. Senior Adviser Jason Miller tweeted “WAY too soon to be calling Arizona…way too soon. We believe over 2/3 of those outstanding Election Day voters are going to be for Trump. Can’t believe Fox was so anxious to pull the trigger here after taking so long to call Florida.”’

bipartisanreport--2020-11-04--Trump Sees Updated Afternoon Totals & Melts Down Like A Scared Lunatic

In an unhinged public tantrum on Twitter in the aftermath of Election Day 2020 , President Donald Trump insisted that his campaign had “ claimed , for Electoral Vote purposes ” states that he had not actually won .
Does he think that if he just claims a victory loud enough , then a given state automatically stays in his column ?
That ’ s not how it works !
Legitimate elections aren ’ t decided on the whims of a petulant wannabe tyrant like Donald Trump .
Elections in the United States are decided based on the will of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peddle anti-democratic conspiracies about the ballot-counting process anyway .
The states that Trump said that his campaign is ready to “ claim ” included Pennsylvania , Georgia , North Carolina , and Michigan , although the last one came with a caveat — Trump said that his campaign would “ claim ” Michigan “ if , in fact , there was a large number of secretly dumped ballots as has been widely reported !
” Twitter placed another notice on one of Trump ’ s posts , notifying users that “ [ some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process.
” The notice seemed to be in reference to the “ dumped ballots ” lie .
Trump posted the following lie-riddled message on Twitter as ballot-counting dragged on : ‘ We have claimed , for Electoral Vote purposes , the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ( which won ’ t allow legal observers ) the State of Georgia , and the State of North Carolina , each one of which has a BIG Trump lead .
Additionally , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in fact there was a large number of secretly dumped ballots as has been widely reported !

Furthermore , no matter the Trump team ’ s rush to claim Pennsylvania as their own , huge chunks of the state ’ s votes were not included in initial results .
The votes that were reported were ones that had been cast in-person on Election Day — and Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known to favor that method for casting their ballot .
As of the time of Trump ’ s post claiming Pennsylvania , large numbers of perfectly valid ballots in the state hadn ’ t been counted .
Nobody had won the state as of the time of the president ’ s totally ridiculous proclamation .
On top of this — seriously , how ignorant is Donald Trump ?
Why is he going through the motions of saying that his campaign “ hereby claims ” certain states as if these “ claims ” have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?

As questions continued to swirl about the 2020 presidential race , Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden spoke out to the American people on Wednesday .
Before Biden ’ s remarks , Donald Trump had been pretty vocal in his perspective on the election : he has alleged that post-Election Day shifts in vote tallies are some kind of Democratic plot to steal the election , which they are not , in any respect whatsoever .
Biden pushed back on this false perspective during his own Wednesday remarks .
Biden insisted that “ every vote must be counted , ” and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s going to take our democracy away from us .
Not now , not ever.
” Are you listening , Trump ?
‘ A government of , by , and for the people is very much alive , very much alive in America .
Here , the people rule .
Power can ’ t be taken or asserted .
It flows from the people .
And it is their will that determines who will be the president of the U.S. and their will alone… To make progress , we have to stop treating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not enemies… We the people will not be silenced .
We the people will not be bullied .
We the people will not surrender .
My friends , I ’ m confident we ’ ll emerge victorious.
’ Shouldn ’ t a sitting U.S. president be expected to express similar sentiments ?
Shouldn ’ t it be expected that a president of the United States would agree that “ every vote must be counted ” ?
Instead , the actual current president continues to push anti-democratic conspiracy theories .
He insists that local @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him during the vote-counting process , when they ’ re simply doing their jobs of counting votes .
There ’ s no conspiracy .
Trump and his allies have already run to the court system .
The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit in the state of Michigan , where they ’ re seeking to stop ballot-counting until they get the ballot-counting observation access that they want .
To be clear : there is no evidence that the Trump campaign has been excluded from observing the ballot-counting process in any significant fashion — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the president ’ s supporters from banging on the windows of a ballot-processing facility in Detroit like unhinged maniacs .
News organizations have called Michigan for Biden , putting the Democratic nominee within striking distance of winning the presidency after an earlier call of Wisconsin for Biden .

Watch Biden’s full remarks below:
Shouldn’t a sitting U.S. president be expected to express similar sentiments? Shouldn’t it be expected that a president of the United States would agree that “every vote must be counted”? Instead, the actual current president continues to push anti-democratic conspiracy theories. He insists that local elections officials are somehow out to get him during the vote-counting process, when they’re simply doing their jobs of counting votes. There’s no conspiracy.
Trump and his allies have already run to the court system. The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit in the state of Michigan, where they’re seeking to stop ballot-counting until they get the ballot-counting observation access that they want. To be clear: there is no evidence that the Trump campaign has been excluded from observing the ballot-counting process in any significant fashion — although that didn’t stop some of the president’s supporters from banging on the windows of a ballot-processing facility in Detroit like unhinged maniacs.

bipartisanreport--2020-11-04--Trump Sprays Swamp Juice On PA With Legal Move To Stop Vote Count

We hold our breath as we wait for Joe Biden-Senator Kamala Harris to accept their mantle as the 46th president and vice president of these United States .
It will be such a relief to have a president who is not a such a walking bucket of electric spit .
We watched as GOP senators stood wordlessly behind POTUS in silent support on the crazy elevator to the top of a vacant Trump building .
Once there , they discovered the only way down was a fatal jump .
People will not forget .
They can not get away with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s power , then come forward shouting “ I didn ’ t do anything !
” They did , and America will not soon forget — two years from now or four or six .
NBC News reported a breaking piece of news as we begin to let ourselves wonder what a President Joe Biden-Senator Kamala Harris presidency will be like .
NBC News called Michigan for the former vice president even as the Trump campaign filed dual lawsuits against Michigan and Pennsylvania .
The man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office @ @ @ @ @ @ @ started appearing in the darkest hours of the night .
A 74-year-old man in a temper tantrum is not a pretty site .
The president continues to shout “ Off with their heads !
Off with their heads !

We hold our breath as we wait for Joe Biden-Senator Kamala Harris to accept their mantle as the 46th president and vice president of these United States. It will be such a relief to have a president who is not a such a walking bucket of electric spit.
We watched as GOP senators stood wordlessly behind POTUS in silent support on the crazy elevator to the top of a vacant Trump building. Once there, they discovered the only way down was a fatal jump. People will not forget. They cannot get away with siphoning off the cream of 45’s power, then come forward shouting “I didn’t do anything!” They did, and America will not soon forget — two years from now or four or six.
NBC News reported a breaking piece of news as we begin to let ourselves wonder what a President Joe Biden-Senator Kamala Harris presidency will be like. NBC News called Michigan for the former vice president even as the Trump campaign filed dual lawsuits against Michigan and Pennsylvania.
The man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office was enraged when the signs of defeat started appearing in the darkest hours of the night. A 74-year-old man in a temper tantrum is not a pretty site. The president continues to shout “Off with their heads! Off with their heads!” even as his false teeth clatter to the floor and crack.
The so-called commander-in-chief, if he cannot get his candy, is willing to burn the candy store down. He is suing in Michigan to halt the vote count and Pennsylvania to challenge the timing of the vote count, according to the Trump Deputy Dampaign Manager Justin Clark:
‘There have been no reports of fraud or any type of ballot concerns out of Pennsylvania. The state had 3.1 million mail-in ballots that take time to count and an order allows them to be counted up until Friday if they are postmarked by Nov. 3.’
In addition, Trump is calling for a Wisconsin recount, according to The Associated Press (AP). Campaign manager Bill Stepien cited “irregularities in several Wisconsin counties.”
Lonnie Scott, Executive Director of the liberal advocacy group Progress Michigan noted that Trump only filed the lawsuit to halt the AP and other media from declaring a Briden win.
Former State Democratic Chair Mark Brewer observed the Detroit vote count as a volunteer attorney and said:
‘This is the best absentee ballot counting operation that Detroit has ever had. They are counting ballots very efficiently, despite the obstructing tactics of the Republicans.’
Trump told the people at the White House:
‘We’ll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court — we want all voting to stop.’
Biden Campaign Manager Jen O’Malley Dillon released a statement. In it, she called the president’s statement “outrageous, unprecedented, and incorrect:”
‘If the president makes good on his threat to go to court to try to prevent the proper tabulation of votes, we have legal teams standing by ready to deploy to resist that effort. And they will prevail.’
Election law expert Richard Hasen wrote in The Slate on Sunday:
‘[T]here has never been any basis to claim that a ballot arriving on time cannot be counted if officials cannot finish their count on election night.’
Ohio State University Election Law Professor Edward Foley tweeted on Wednesday:
‘The valid votes will be counted. SCOTUS would be involved only if there were votes of questionable validity that would make a difference, which might not be the case. The rule of law will determine the official winner of the popular vote in each state. Let the rule of law work.’
Foley concluded:
‘This is a Hail Mary.’

James has confronted Trump in court before. Before Election Day, the New York Attorney General indicated that she was conferring with her colleagues over possible steps that attorney generals could take in the event of a contested election. She very well might get the chance to put those potential plans into action — a slew of lawsuits have already popped up in the aftermath of Election Day, including one court case in which the Trump campaign is trying to get ballot-counting stopped in Michigan until they get the observation access to the ballot-counting process that they want. The Trump team is also fighting against current ballot-counting procedures in Pennsylvania.
Besides potential court action in election-related cases, James’s office has also been leading an investigation into the Trump Organization over potential fraudulent adjustments to valuations of their assets. These fraudulent valuations were meant to help secure benefits like tax breaks for the Trump family business. Recently, Eric Trump sat for a deposition as part of James’s investigation. The New York Attorney General has pledged to continue her Trump Organization investigation even if Trump loses. Losing the presidency could remove potential protections from potential prosecution for Trump (although James’s Trump investigation isn’t a criminal one).

He claimed that the win was “stolen” from him. Campaign Manager Bill Stepien, Trump’s campaign manager, released a statement detailing the Michigan lawsuit.
CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta reported that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his running mate Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) had taken Wisconsin:
‘CNN: Biden wins Wisconsin.’
Then, Acosta reported that the president’s attorneys had already filed a lawsuit in Michigan. Trump wanted the court to halt its ballot counting:
‘Trump campaign says it has filed a lawsuit in Michigan to “halt counting…”’
Michigan government/politics correspondent for the Associated Press (AP) David Eggert also reported on the lawsuit. It would easily fit into the “frivolous” category:

bipartisanreport--2020-11-04--Trump Campaign Issues Pathetic Demand For Recount In Critical Swing State

After Joe Biden was in the lead following the reporting of just about all votes in the swing state of Wisconsin , Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien has announced that the Trump campaign plans to request a recount in the state .
Biden led in the unofficial tally by a little over 20,000 votes as of the time of Stepien ’ s announcement of the Trump campaign ’ s demand for a recount .
Biden ’ s lead was under one percent , and leads that small allow for the winner ’ s opponent — in this case , Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ Despite ridiculous public polling used as a voter suppression tactic , Wisconsin has been a razor thin race as we always knew that it would be .
There have been reports of irregularities in several Wisconsin counties which raise serious doubts about the validity of the results .

’ Notably , this statement comes hours after Trump declared during an angry middle-of-the-night speech at the White House that he believed that ballot-counting should stop promptly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Now , Trump ’ s campaign wants to start counting again .
Read Stepien ’ s statement below : Trump himself won the Rust Belt states of Wisconsin , Michigan , and Pennsylvania by very small margins in 2016 .
In that election , Trump ’ s leading margin in Wisconsin was also under one percent in the state ’ s final results , meaning that Wisconsin has been stunningly close in two presidential elections in a row .
Like elsewhere in the country , voter turnout seems to have significantly grown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2016 , Trump won in the state with a little over 1.4 million total votes — and this time around , Biden led in the early unofficial results with a little over 1.6 million total votes .
Trump also passed 1.6 million total votes in the state during this election , adding about a couple hundred thousand total votes onto his 2016 total — with Biden adding about the same amount on the Democratic side .
A recount in Wisconsin might not change the results much , and a perhaps surprising source — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is an ardent Republican — pointed out this fact .
Walker noted two recent Wisconsin recounts in which the vote tallies changed by 300 or less during the process .
In other words — there ’ s not exactly some easy inroad for Trump to surmount the about 20,000-vote lead in the state that Biden has .

Counting valid votes is not a conspiracy against the president! It’s long been clear that the president’s own supporters heavily favor in-person voting on Election Day.

He has threatened to take his complaints about the ballot-counting process to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it’s not immediately clear how he could actually get there, since there must be a pre-existing case for the court — which has three of his appointees on it — to take up an issue.

Ever since DeJoy took office, he has used the USPS to circumvent the nation’s votes, suppressing them with slow-walk delivery, tearing down and out rapid mail-sorting machines, and “losing” ballots.

‘[HE] ORDERED THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS) TO DO SWEEPS IN 12 POSTAL DISTRICTS COVERING 15 STATES. THESE SWEEPS WERE TO FIND ANY BALLOTS NOT YET DELIVERED TO THE POLLS. THE USPS BLEW PAST THE 3:30 PM DEADLINE ON TUESDAY.’
DeJoy blew him off.
Then, on Thursday Judge Sullivan ordered the Postal Service to start doing twice-a-day every-day sweeps of its buildings looking for any mislaid mail-in ballots. President Bill Clinton installed Judge Sullivan who wrote in his brief:
‘[A]ll USPS processing facilities that serve a state with an extended ballot receipt deadline shall, until that deadline passes, perform a morning ballot sweep (no later than 10 a.m., local time) and a mid-to-late afternoon ballot sweep that is timed to ensure that any identified local ballots can be delivered that day.’
‘Upon completing a sweep, each facility shall report to USPS Headquarters the total number of ballots identified and confirm that those ballots have been expedited for delivery to meet applicable extended state deadlines.’
The plaintiff organizations include the NAACP. They won an important victory last month when Judge Sullivan reversed the limitations on mail delivery. In addition, he ordered the USPS to take “extraordinary measures” to make certain that they would be able to deal with the flood of mail-in ballots. The unprecedented coronavirus pandemic caused many people who would normally vote in person, use the mail-in ballot option.

The Swedish activist is already internationally recognized for her views, that we are facing an existential crisis unless we address climate change. She does not like Donald Trump and has taken him on more than once — and again on Thursday.
In 2019, at the United Nations in New York, Trump ditched a major UN climate summit to attend a religious freedom meeting. The Guardian reported that she warned Secretary-General António Guterres at the UN in an emotional address “political leaders have failed us – but now change is coming.”
Greta stood in a quiet corner at the UN watching for the 45th president of these United States.
Then, she saw the errant American president, and her expression darkened.
As he moved past her, never noticing, she fixed him with an if-looks-could-kill glare.
Thursday, Greta had another message for the flailing president. News of his giant tantrum spread around the world. He was enraged after it sank into his consciousness that he might not get to be president for a second term. It was not a pretty sight.
Greta’s face reflected what many of us feel about the outgoing president. And she dripped sarcasm, knocking him down to her height when she called him “Donald.” The great equalizer.
The environmentalist ribbed him in a tweet saying he should “work on his Anger Management problem.” Then, she suggested he take in some entertainment with a friend, assuming he has one any longer. Most of the quasi-criminal rats have already jumped ship. She told Donald “Chill Donald, Chill:”
‘So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!’

bipartisanreport--2020-11-05--Biden Returns With Unifying Thursday Evening Message To America

President Donald Trump and his political allies have spent the time after Election Day peddling baseless conspiracy theories insisting that Democrats are trying to steal the election from Trump by messing with vote tallies , which is an utterly reality-disconnected claim .
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden , who may be on his way to a victory in light of the trends in steadily developing vote tallies around the country , has taken the exact opposite perspective .
At a Thursday public appearance , Biden insisted that every valid vote must be counted — which should not be a controversial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ In America , the vote is sacred .
It ’ s how people of this nation express their will , and it is the will of the voters — no one , not anything else — that chooses the president of the United States of America .
So , each ballot must be counted , and that ’ s what we ’ re going to see going through now , and that ’ s how it should be .
Democracy is sometimes messy .
It sometimes requires a little patience as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now for more than 240 years with a system of governance that has been the envy of the world… We continue to feel very good about where things stand.
’ Again — the position that “ the vote is sacred ” should not be controversial .
Yet , Trump has pushed ludicrous conspiracy theories and demanded abrupt ends to the tabulation of ballots .
Watch Biden below : In contrast to Biden , Trump went so far that he posted an all-caps Twitter message on Thursday in which he demanded to “ STOP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lawsuit in Michigan seeking to stop ballot-counting until the Republicans got the ballot-counting observation access that they wanted .
That request has been denied — although that denial didn ’ t exactly seem poised to put a dent in the Trump campaign ’ s fervent efforts to challenge the election results in court and outside of it .
The campaign has already said that they are demanding a recount in Wisconsin , for instance .
It ’ s difficult to overstate the wrongness of the president ’ s claims about some kind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no Democratic conspiracy to steal the election .
Those who are trumpeting the claims from the Trump campaign like some kind of gospel are pushing conspiratorial and anti-democratic nonsense .

The images of Trump trying to shut down a democratic election and his supporters chanting "stop the count" are being broadcast around the globe. A gift to autocrats everywhere. — Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) November 5, 2020
Biden said the following:
‘In America, the vote is sacred. It’s how people of this nation express their will, and it is the will of the voters — no one, not anything else — that chooses the president of the United States of America. So, each ballot must be counted, and that’s what we’re going to see going through now, and that’s how it should be. Democracy is sometimes messy. It sometimes requires a little patience as well, but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years with a system of governance that has been the envy of the world… We continue to feel very good about where things stand.’
Again — the position that “the vote is sacred” should not be controversial. Yet, Trump has pushed ludicrous conspiracy theories and demanded abrupt ends to the tabulation of ballots. Watch Biden below:

Watch Biden’s remarks in full below:
In contrast to Biden, Trump went so far that he posted an all-caps Twitter message on Thursday in which he demanded to “STOP THE COUNT!” His campaign filed a lawsuit in Michigan seeking to stop ballot-counting until the Republicans got the ballot-counting observation access that they wanted. That request has been denied — although that denial didn’t exactly seem poised to put a dent in the Trump campaign’s fervent efforts to challenge the election results in court and outside of it. The campaign has already said that they are demanding a recount in Wisconsin, for instance.
It’s difficult to overstate the wrongness of the president’s claims about some kind of plot against him. There is no Democratic conspiracy to steal the election. Those who are trumpeting the claims from the Trump campaign like some kind of gospel are pushing conspiratorial and anti-democratic nonsense.


bipartisanreport--2020-11-05--Trump Defense Secretary Preps Letter Of Resignation As Presidency Implodes

According to three top defense officials speaking to NBC News , the Trump administration ’ s current Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has prepared a letter of resignation — although as of the NBC article ’ s initial publication , Esper had not yet submitted this letter .
Still , he seems to be ready to depart the administration on his own terms .
NBC notes that it ’ s routine for top administration officials to draft letters of resignation after presidential elections in order to give the incumbent the opportunity to replace them during a potential second term if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already isn ’ t exactly on Trump ’ s good side .
NBC notes that Esper and Trump “ disagreed on the use of active-duty U.S. military to quell protests this summer.
” Esper replaced James Mattis , a retired Marine general , in the role of Defense Secretary during Trump ’ s time in office .
Like Esper , Mattis wasn ’ t exactly in Trump ’ s good graces by the end of his time in the administration .
After controversy surrounding Trump ’ s readiness and willingness to turn the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people during intense protests for racial justice over the summer , Mattis hammered Trump ’ s behavior in a public statement in which he characterized Trump as essentially unfit for office .
Mattis wrote that the country was “ witnessing the consequences of three years of ” Donald Trump ’ s “ deliberate effort ” to “ divide ” Americans .
In the Esper case , NBC reports that the current Defense Secretary also supports removing the names of Confederate leaders from military installations , which Trump openly opposes .
Trump has claimed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from U.S. military installations would be some kind of affront against the legacy of the soldiers who have operated out of these facilities .
Fact check : it wouldn ’ t .
According to NBC , Esper “ is helping members of Congress draft legislation that will strip names of Confederate leaders from military bases ” instead of issuing a directive that could ultimately be overruled by the president .
This legislation would be included in the National Defense Authorization Act , the defense spending authorization bill for next year — which Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sign .
Esper ’ s resignation letter may not have to be used .
At the time of NBC ’ s report , election data suggested that Trump was on his way to losing his chance at another term in office .
Biden flipped Michigan and Wisconsin , and some observers believed that an early Trump lead in Pennsylvania would be overcome as authorities counted ballots .

Like Esper, Mattis wasn’t exactly in Trump’s good graces by the end of his time in the administration.

We are finding out what would happen after the American people rejected Donald Trump A Ph.D. psychologist who also happens to be the president’s niece has created a pathway to at least a partial understanding. She is the daughter of POTUS’ dead older brother and writer of the book Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.
POTUS did something strangely disturbing Thursday. He released a statement on the Trump-Pence campaign stationery that read like one of his tweets. Why he would choose to do that is a bit disturbing. As usual, he offered evidence that he was recreating his own reality in which he “easily win(s).” That was followed by the typical blame game, victimhood, and deflection. But the message was all in capital letters for some very odd reason. It was creepy:
‘IF YOU COUNT THE LEGAL VOTES, I EASILY WIN THE ELECTION! IF YOU COUNT THE ILLEGAL AND LATE VOTES, THEY CAN STEAL THE ELECTION FROM US!’
PBS’ Yamiche Alcindor brought the bizarre statement to light. She gave us the Cliff Notes version of what the man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office had been doing. After giving a 2:30 a.m. press conference after Election Day, he has not been seen.
The White House Correspondent for PBS wrote that the president had tweeted “STOP THE FRAUD!” & “STOP THE COUNT:”
‘Things Pres Trump has done today: -Tweet “STOP THE FRAUD!” & “STOP THE COUNT!” -Issue an all CAPS statement through his campaign that reads like a tweet. -Repeatedly, without evidence, claim Democrats are trying to steal the election. Things he has not done: -Take questions.’
Amazon wrote this about Mary Trump’s revealing book, “her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security, and social fabric:”
‘In this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald’s only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security, and social fabric.’
In a running commentary, Mary Trump tweeted her advice a few days before the election until Thursday afternoon. She offered her thought about her uncle in this snapshot in time:
‘Our lives are at stake, the quality of our lives is at stake, our humanity is at stake. Thank you @SenDuckworth — Mary L Trump (@MaryLTrump) October 27, 2020’
‘The Supreme Court rules that all absentee ballots must be counted in NC and PA and it’s described as a win for Democrats. But it’s a win for America. The fact that Republicans think it’s a loss for them tells you everything you need to know. #VOTE’
‘If Trump is willing to let hundreds of thousands of Americans die to serve his personal political interests, he will do anything to win. Don’t doubt it for a minute. And the GOP has bought in completely with the Trump-Putin agenda to destroy US democracy. Not an exaggeration.’
‘They’re trying to keep us from voting because there are more of us than there are of them. They’re trying to intimidate us because they are weak. If we stay united, strong, and determined a bunch of idiots blocking traffic can’t stop us. #VOTE’ ‘Dems: Here is some help Rural whites: Cool. Do I have to share the help with black people? Dems: Uhh, yeah? Rural whites: FUCK YOU. TAKE YOUR HELP A SHOVE IT. White Pundits: Dems really need better messaging to white working class workers.’ ‘Vote for a massive repudiation of everything this administration has inflicted on us. Vote–because it’s our turn to flood the zone. #VOTE’
‘To those who voted for Donald, your “president” is directly responsible for the deaths over 230,000 of your fellow citizens, as well as the kidnapping and caging of innocent children. That’s what you voted for.’
‘Tough night, but hold on, my friends.’
‘Whatever happens, @staceyabrams from is a hero.’ (candidate for georgia Governor 2018, American politician, lawyer, voting rights activist, and author who served in the Georgia House of Representatives)
‘Every vote must be counted. Donald is lying.’
‘We can’t underestimate the role disinformation played in this campaign, but if we don’t face the fact that this country is really fucking racist, nothing will change.’
‘Arrest #LouisDeJoy (Trump’s postmaster general) now.’
Twitter world went wild after Trump released this statement. Check out what your fellow Americans had to say about it below:
