politicususa--2020-11-15--Ivanka Trump Throws A Fit And Falsely Claims The Media Doesn’t Cover Violence Against Conservatives

Ivanka Trump showed that she is just like her father as she threw a tantrum and claimed the media doesn ’ t cover violence against conservatives .
Much of the focus is on how it will be much better for the country when Donald Trump is out of the White House , and no longer has the platform of the presidency to use to divide America , but America will also benefit from Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump going back to their lives in New York ( at least until the criminal indictments are handed down ) .
As Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republican Party , it is Ivanka Trump who is her father ’ s favorite and was chosen to be at his side in the White House .
Ivanka is Donald Trump ’ s mini-me .
She is trying to use grievance and attacks on the media to divide the country .
Ivanka Trump ’ s claims have no merit .
There aren ’ t armed militias of Biden supporters roaming the streets and hatching plots to kidnap and kill governors .
It wasn ’ t a Biden supporter who went to Minnesota and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ killing of George Floyd .
All violence is wrong , but the vast majority of violence is being carried out by the right and being fueled by rhetoric that is being pushed by the Trumps .
Ivanka Trump is no moderate .
She is showing that she is the next generation of the Trump threat to America .

Ivanka Trump showed that she is just like her father as she threw a tantrum and claimed the media doesn’t cover violence against conservatives.
Ivanka Trump tweeted:
The media’s near total silence about the physical violence being perpetrated against conservatives is shameful & dangerous. Just image the outrage and indignation if this went the other way. Violence is never the answer and instigators must be condemned and prosecuted. — Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) November 15, 2020

As Donald Trump Jr. openly seeks power within the Republican Party, it is Ivanka Trump who is her father’s favorite and was chosen to be at his side in the White House. Ivanka is Donald Trump’s mini-me. She is trying to use grievance and attacks on the media to divide the country.
Ivanka Trump‘s claims have no merit. There aren’t armed militias of Biden supporters roaming the streets and hatching plots to kidnap and kill governors. It wasn’t a Biden supporter who went to Minnesota and shot and killed two protesters after the killing of George Floyd.

Here is Giuliani explaining how the ballots were done:

However, Giuliani presented no evidence of election fraud. All he has are guesses and wild conspiracy theories. It is the same nonsense that Rudy has been peddling for years.

Trump conceded that he lost to Joe Biden then took back the concession and falsely claimed that the election was rigged.
Trump tweeted that Biden won, and listed a bunch of fake reasons why the election was stolen from him:
He won because the Election was Rigged. NO VOTE WATCHERS OR OBSERVERS allowed, vote tabulated by a Radical Left privately owned company, Dominion, with a bad reputation & bum equipment that couldn’t even qualify for Texas (which I won by a lot!), the Fake & Silent Media, & more! https://t.co/Exb3C1mAPg — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 15, 2020
Roughly 90 minutes later, Trump took it all back:
RIGGED ELECTION. WE WILL WIN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 15, 2020
He only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA. I concede NOTHING! We have a long way to go. This was a RIGGED ELECTION! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 15, 2020
Trump doesn’t have a long way to go. He is 1-14 in the election lawsuits that he has filed. The lawsuit that he won does not change the outcome in Pennsylvania. States are already certifying their results. In a couple of weeks, final state certification will be in, and in less than a month, the electoral college will vote, and Joe Biden will officially be the president-elect.
Nothing has happened to change the results of the election. Trump conceded, and then he realized that he conceded and tried to pretend like he didn’t concede.
The fight is over.
The pathetic turnout for Trump’s Million MAGA March highlighted his rapid descent into increasing irrelevance.
Joe Biden won. Donald Trump knows it, or else he would not have conceded by tweet.

Just a day after Sen. Ted Cruz ( R-TX ) mocked Sen. Sherrod Brown ( D-OH ) for urging his colleagues to wear masks on the Senate floor , Sen. Chuck Grassley ( R-IA ) has tested positive for coronavirus .
The Republican lawmaker announced the news in a Twitter post , saying , “ I ’ ve tested positive for coronavirus .
I ’ ll b following my doctors ’ orders/CDC guidelines & continue to quarantine.
” It should be noted that Sen. Grassley is 87 years old and the second oldest member of the Senate , making him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already killed more than 250,000 Americans .
Nonetheless , as MSNBC ’ s Joy Reid pointed out on Tuesday night , Grassley was on the Senate floor without a mask yesterday .
It ’ s Cruz , not Brown , who looks like the ‘ complete ass ’ On Monday , Ted Cruz went on Twitter and called Sherrod Brown a “ complete ass ” for urging his colleagues to wear masks on the Senate floor as a way to protect fellow senators and staff members .
Sen. Cruz threw a tantrum and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mask only as an “ ostentatious sign of fake virtue.
” It just so happens that Sen. Grassley – now infected with COVID – was on the Senate floor when Sen. Brown was calling on his colleagues to use face coverings .
If anybody looks like a “ complete ass ” after this episode , it ’ s Ted Cruz – a man who would rather expose people to a deadly virus than wear a mask .

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told reporters that his efforts to overturn Biden’s win include pressure campaigns in Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona.
Jake Sherman of Politico tweeted Graham’s comments to reporters:
Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC just told a group of reporters in the capitol that he’s also spoken to Secretaries of State in Nevada and Arizona. This is in addition to the sos in Georgia. He said he’s doing it as a senator who is worried about election integrity. (@pkcapitol asked) — Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) November 17, 2020

Graham’s pretense of pressuring Secretaries of State to throw out legally cast ballots under the guise of election integrity falls apart when he refuses to refer to Joe Biden as the president-elect. Trump is now 1-24 in lawsuits relating to the election, so his legal challenges should be over soon.
Lindsey Graham admitted to a wide-ranging conspiracy to overturn Joe Biden’s wins in three key states. Even if Trump would win in a rigged recount, Biden would still win the election, so obviously, Republicans are hoping to overturn the result in Pennsylvania.

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) will quarantine after being exposed to Covid-19.
“I learned today that I’ve been exposed to the coronavirus,” Grassley said in a prepared statement. I will follow my doctors’ orders and immediately quarantine as I await my test results. I’m feeling well and not currently experiencing any symptoms, but it’s important we all follow public health guidelines to keep each other healthy.”
Last month, Grassley made headlines for refusing to get tested for the novel coronavirus despite attending a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting with Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), who later tested positive for the virus.
“Sen. Grassley’s doctors have not recommended he be tested as he has not come into close contact with anyone suspected of having or confirmed to have coronavirus,” Grassley’s spokesman, Michael Zona, said in a statement at the time.
Grassley prided himself on never missing a vote in the Senate.
“Senator Grassley holds the current record for the longest streak of not missing a vote in the United States Senate,” his website reads. “He demonstrates his commitment to Iowans by casting more than 7,600 straight votes on the issues.”
“That ends today,” Washington Post congressional reporter Paul Kane pointed out.

Rudy Giuliani is trying to argue in a new Pennsylvania court filing that the court should just declare Trump the winner.
Brad Heath tweeted from the Trump campaign’s latest filing.
Rudy Giuliani is amending the Pennsylvania case to restore Trump claims that were accidentally deleted:
President Trump's campaign is moving to amend its Pennsylvania election case again, this time to "restore claims which were inadvertently" deleted the last time plus add some other new stuff. pic.twitter.com/Nyh1PpIHxU — Brad Heath (@bradheath) November 18, 2020
Giuliani wants a federal court to declare Trump the winner:
Trump's lawyers say they will ask a federal court "will seek the remedy of Trump being declared the winner of the legal votes cast in the 2000 General Election and, thus, the recipient of Pennsylvania's electors." pic.twitter.com/ctyZpERYda — Brad Heath (@bradheath) November 18, 2020
Rudy also wants to block certification of the election, have the results declared defective, and have the state legislature choose the electors:
Trump's proposed amended complaint asks a court to prevent Pennsylvania from certifying its election results. If the court won't do that, the campaign wants it to rule that the results are "defective" and instruct the state legislature to choose who won. pic.twitter.com/8WW4XimXiN — Brad Heath (@bradheath) November 18, 2020
If this all looks like a desperate farce, it’s because that is what it is.
Rudy Guiliani is asking a court to overturn an election result with zero evidence of fraud. Notice that the Trump legal team did not back up any of the claims that they made. They still have no evidence, but they think that Trump should be declared the winner, and we all should move on.
The filing from Trump is a type of undemocratic insanity that is dangerous to the country.
The courts aren’t going to declare Trump the winner.
Giuliani has so little in terms of actual legal arguments that his big plan is to get Trump named the winner because he says so.

(Reuters) – About half of all Republicans believe President Donald Trump “rightfully won” the U.S. election but that it was stolen from him by widespread voter fraud that favored Democratic President-elect Joe Biden, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.
The Nov. 13-17 opinion poll showed that Trump’s open defiance of Biden’s victory in both the popular vote and Electoral College appears to be affecting the public’s confidence in American democracy, especially among Republicans.

Fifty-two percent of Republicans said that Trump “rightfully won,” while only 29% said that Biden had rightfully won.
Asked why, Republicans were much more concerned than others that state vote counters had tipped the result toward Biden: 68% of Republicans said they were concerned that the election was “rigged,” while only 16% of Democrats and one-third of independents were similarly worried.
Even before winning the 2016 election, Trump kept up a drumbeat of complaints about the process, claiming without evidence that it was unfair to him.
Since Biden amassed enough electoral votes to win the White House on Nov. 7, Trump has ramped up those criticisms, telling his supporters that he is the victim of widespread illegal voting.
Trump has failed to give any proof for his claims and has not been able to back them up in court, however. Republicans announced this week that they were dropping federal election lawsuits in Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The poll showed that more Americans appear to be more suspicious about the U.S. election process than they were four years ago.
Altogether, 55% of adults in the United States said they believed the Nov. 3 presidential election was “legitimate and accurate,” which is down 7 points from a similar poll that ran shortly after the 2016 election.

Trump is on a disinformation rampage about voter fraud, and Twitter has had to flag 7 of his tweets for false statements in 45 minutes.
Trump is using conspiracy theories to call for the blocking of the certification of results in Michigan:
The Great State of Michigan, with votes being far greater than the number of people who voted, cannot certify the election. The Democrats cheated big time, and got caught. A Republican WIN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 18, 2020
He made false claims about Detroit:
In Detroit, there are FAR MORE VOTES THAN PEOPLE. Nothing can be done to cure that giant scam. I win Michigan! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 18, 2020
Trump also repeated his lies that have been completely tossed out of court in Pennsylvania:
They didn’t even allow Republican Observers into the building to watch. A terrible insult to our Constitution! https://t.co/Q8RgaTs6ev — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 18, 2020
All told, Twitter flagged seven tweets within 45 minutes for containing disputed or inaccurate information.
The gameplan for Trump looks obvious. Trump is trying to stop the certification of the results in Pennsylvania and Michigan while hoping that audits and recounts hand him Wisconsin and Georgia. In the long-term, Trump is trying to establish the false narrative that the election was stolen from him so that he can run again as a candidate was robbed in 2024.
The idea of Trump running again appears to be farfetched given the fact that he will be a nearly 80-year-old failed one-term president, who very well could be a convicted felon if the cases in Manhattan and New York state move forward.
Trump is melting down in the present while salting the political earth for the future. The entire country has seen this behavior for four years, as this is Trump at his most desperate and panicked.

The Trump campaign dropped its last federal lawsuit in Michigan and then claimed victory even though the Wayne County results have been certified .
President Donald Trump ’ s campaign says it ’ s dropping its Michigan election lawsuit because it succeeded in halting certification of election results in Detroit and surrounding Wayne County , despite the outcome already having been certified in favor of President-elect Joe Biden .
The Trump campaign ’ s assertion is based on the attempt by two Republican canvassing board members to rescind their Tuesday votes in favor of certification .
Democrats say it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to walk back their votes .
Michigan is due to certify its statewide results on Nov. 23 .
The problem is that the Republican canvassers that Trump contacted personally are trying to walk back their Tuesday night votes to certify the results .

The Trump campaign dropped its last federal lawsuit in Michigan and then claimed victory even though the Wayne County results have been certified.
Via Bloomberg News:
President Donald Trump’s campaign says it’s dropping its Michigan election lawsuit because it succeeded in halting certification of election results in Detroit and surrounding Wayne County, despite the outcome already having been certified in favor of President-elect Joe Biden.
The Trump campaign’s assertion is based on the attempt by two Republican canvassing board members to rescind their Tuesday votes in favor of certification. Democrats say it’s not possible for the two Republicans to walk back their votes. Michigan is due to certify its statewide results on Nov. 23.
The problem is that the Republican canvassers that Trump contacted personally are trying to walk back their Tuesday night votes to certify the results. The issue is that there is no mechanism in Michigan for the canvassers to take back their votes, so the results have been certified.
Trump’s lawsuit was about to be thrown out of court, so there was no chance that he was going to win. Rudy Giuliani claimed in his disastrous press conference that the campaign has blocked the certification in Wayne County was totally false.
The endgame for Trump is to poison the well and try to create as much doubt about Joe Biden’s victory as he can before he is escorted off of the White House premises on January 20, 2021.
Trump continues to try to do the only thing that he has been good at in his entire life, spinning defeat into victory.

politicususa--2020-11-19--Rudy Giuliani Admits His Election Fraud Claims Are From The Movie My Cousin Vinny

Rudy Giuliani admitted that the basis for his claims that there was election fraud against Trump came from the movie My Cousin Vinny .
They weren ’ t just not allowed to do it .
They were pushed .
In a few cases , they were assaulted .
In all cases , they were put in a corral .
So far away , probably the closest they got is from here to the back of that room .
We could do like a — did you all watch “ My Cousin Vinny ” ?
One of my favorite law movies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when the nice lady said she saw and he says to her , how many fingers do I got up ?
And she says , “ Three.
” She was too far away to see it was only two .
These people were further away than my cousin Vinnie was from the witness .
They couldn ’ t see a thing .
I don ’ t know .
Are you going to tell me that 60 people are lying ?
They didn ’ t just tell me this .
They swore under penalty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has ever done .
You don ’ t even ask Biden about this .
He doesn ’ t get asked questions about all the evidence of the crimes that he committed .
These people are under penalty of perjury .
Their names are on an affidavit .
Giuliani also claimed that the media accurately reporting that he has no evidence of election fraud is a conspiracy against Trump : This press conference was a disgrace .
Giuliani kept ranting about election fraud evidence but has not been able to produce any of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump continues to lose election lawsuits .
Trump thinks that he can destroy the integrity of the election process to set himself up for a 2024 run , but the only thing being destroyed is the dignity of the Republican Party for going along with this public humiliation .

So far away, probably the closest they got is from here to the back of that room. We could do like a — did you all watch “My Cousin Vinny”? One of my favorite law movies because he comes from Brooklyn, and when the nice lady said she saw and he says to her, how many fingers do I got up?

Giuliani also claimed that the media accurately reporting that he has no evidence of election fraud is a conspiracy against Trump:

This press conference was a disgrace. Giuliani kept ranting about election fraud evidence but has not been able to produce any of this evidence in court, which is why Trump continues to lose election lawsuits.
