Trump has told confidants he could announce a 2024 campaign before the end of this year , which would immediately set up a potential rematch with President-elect Joe Biden .

That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have served in the administration : Vice President Pence , Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley .
There would be nothing better for Democrats than for Trump to announce that he is running again in 2024 .
Trump is a great motivator of Democratic turnout , and the idea of him freezing the Republican 2024 Republican field is something that will only help Democrats in the Georgia special Senate elections , in the 2022 midterms , and in 2024 .
Trump doesn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Republican Party .

politicususa--2020-11-22--Devin Nunes Calls For Trump To Appoint A Special Counsel To Investigate Obama

Rep. Devin Nunes ( R-CA ) claimed that Obama is secretly running Joe Biden and called for Trump to appoint a special counsel to investigate Obama .
Nunes said : would just point out to your viewers that President Obama is the only president that I know that only moved about a mile from the white house , set up shop , has all of his people there , most of his people were promoting Kamala Harris to run before she bombed out , wasting millions of dollars , hundreds of millions of dollars , and then they propped up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not just about how this is the first president that oversaw using a political campaign , using the FBI and DOJ to open an investigation into your rival campaign .
That ’ s as big of a fraud as you get in the history of the United States of America , so he ’ s not giving up power .
He investigated his opposing party .
He allowed it to happen if he was so high and mighty and above dashboard he should have told Clinton , Comey , Mccabe , Brennan , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re not doing this .
You have no evidence that Trump is some type of Russian agent .
Stop it .
He didn ’ t do it and here , we ’ re left with this aftermath of four years of this nonsense and now we ’ re sitting waiting for Durham to complete this investigation .
I think people are getting not only very frustrated but also , there ’ s a growing concern that Durham is not going to come out with anything and then Biden and Obama are going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to shut this investigation off , so , I ’ ve been very clear about this .
Every day that ticks by it ’ s going to become an absolute necessity that a special counsel is appointed on the way out .
Now that doesn ’ t mean that Biden wouldn ’ t fire the special counsel but at least you ’ d have a special counsel office setup , with money , so that this investigation can continue because I ’ m not seeing indictments that I should be seeing when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve made 14 criminal referrals involving dozens and dozens of people .
Obama doesn ’ t spend much time in DC .
The Obamas originally stayed in DC so that their daughter could finish high school .
The idea that Obama stayed in Washington to set up a shadow government that would run Joe Biden is nonsense .
Nunes was actually calling for Trump to salt the earth by appointing a special counsel to launch a bogus Obama investigation .
House and Senate Republicans have gotten nowhere with their Biden investigation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power one last time to perpetuate a fake scandal .
The odds of this happening are close to zero , but the idea of it shows how desperate Republicans are to muddy up the Biden presidency .

politicususa--2020-11-23--Opinion: Lock Him Up! Lindsey Graham Should Be Arrested And Prosecuted

If there is only one thing Americans have learned over the past four years it is that it is acceptable for Republicans to violate the law if they do it in service to the criminal and aspiring dictator occupying the Oval Office .
The latest Republican to “ allegedly ” break the law is South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham .
And like everyone in Trump ’ s orbit , his actions were solely to help Trump no matter the damage to America ’ s representative democracy .
Apparently , Graham was able to pry his oral orifice out of Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pressure Georgia ’ s Secretary of State to throw out legal ballots .
In the Trump era , it is obvious that in every district that leans towards Democrats ( read African American ) , ballots are not considered legal .
It ’ s a novel way to implement Jim Crow without calling it Jim Crow and Trump is behind the similarly illegal efforts nationwide .
Graham ’ s “ alleged ” pressure campaign was part of the GOP ’ s ongoing and nationally-concerted effort to aid Trump ’ s plan to stage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , coup to stay ensconced in a place he has no right to visit , much less occupy .
According to Georgia ’ s election laws , Senator Lindsey Graham ’ s actions constitute a felony .
However , no sane human being expects him to face any repercussions whatsoever because he is a Republican , a white Southern Senator , and he was acting specifically in Trump ’ s behalf .
Of course Graham claimed his attempted , not alleged , election interference was due to his overriding concern about election security @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Since Graham was never concerned about mail-in or absentee ballots in the past , his actions lead normal humans to conclude that there was another issue driving his sudden “ concern ” about election security .
In this case , it was to ensure that Trump gets the number of votes from Georgia he demanded to remain in the White House .
Graham is “ alleged ” to have also pressured election officials in Nevada and Arizona – two states that , like Georgia , he does not represent or have any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carolina constituents .
It was reported everywhere beginning Tuesday , that , besides being a dyed-in-the-wool Republican , staunch conservative , and Trump supporter , Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperge accused Graham of asking him to throw out valid ballots .
He said : “ Senator Graham implied for us to audit the envelopes and then throw out the ballots for counties who have the highest frequency error of signatures , ” A second witness involved in the phone call between Graham and .
Raffensberge verified that the Secretary of State is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Raffensberge ’ s accusation , Gabriel Sterling , is an election implementation manager who said that he was “ on the conference call where Graham asked about how ballots might be thrown out.
” Mr. Sterling said : “ What I heard was basically discussions about absentee ballots .
If there was a percentage of signatures that weren ’ t really , truly matching , is there some point we could get to , we could say , somebody went to a courtroom could say well , let ’ s throw ( out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ability for this office to do anything along those lines .
If somebody wanted to go that route , they could go the court route.
” Graham naturally did what everyone in Trump ’ s circle has done since the loser ’ s very poorly attended inauguration – he lied like Trump and every two-bit , guilty street hoodlum caught in the act of committing a crime .
Graham said regarding the criminal act that the accusation ( s ) are “ ridiculous ” and that he only wanted to “ protect the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an effort to hold Graham accountable for his attempt at further decimating America ’ s democracy for Trump , three lawyers asked the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee to investigate the call and whether Graham may have committed any ethics violations .
The “ complaint ” reads , in part : “ If these allegations are true , Sen. Graham ’ s conduct constitutes an abuse of office and conduct unbecoming of a senator .
For the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee to suggest to a state Secretary of State that he refrain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ process and damages representative democracy.
” According to a report in Slate , “ there is virtually no doubt that Graham committed a crime under Georgia law.
” The piece also goes on to state the obvious : if Graham wasn ’ t a Trump bootlicker and Republican senator , he would be in serious legal jeopardy .
Graham will not face an investigation or Senate ethics inquiry , much less be prosecuted “ for conduct that would get almost anyone else arrested ; ” especially in a state like Georgia that has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voter fraud involving far more innocent conduct.
” Some may say it is just business as usual in Trump world , but that is , in and of itself , a damning indictment of the state of our Union ’ s reresentative democracy .
Anyone in their right mind who thinks Graham will ever be held to account for committing an “ alleged ” election crime is an idiot .
But despite the injustice of another Trump criminal flouting the law with impunity , the dirty crook Graham deserves to be arrested , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in prison for the proscribed duration like any other criminal .
However , Graham is a white , wealthy Republican and he is likely going to reap a hefty reward for acting in Trump ’ s stead .
It is true that Republicans have tried every dirty trick in the book to pervert the course of free and fair elections , but for a sitting United States senator to “ allegedly ” ask Georgia ’ s chief election official to throw out legal ballots during a conference call beggars belief – except in @ @ @ @ @

If there is only one thing Americans have learned over the past four years it is that it is acceptable for Republicans to violate the law if they do it in service to the criminal and aspiring dictator occupying the Oval Office.
The latest Republican to “allegedly” break the law is South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham. And like everyone in Trump’s orbit, his actions were solely to help Trump no matter the damage to America’s representative democracy.
Apparently, Graham was able to pry his oral orifice out of Trump’s anal orifice long enough to pressure Georgia’s Secretary of State to throw out legal ballots. In the Trump era, it is obvious that in every district that leans towards Democrats (read African American), ballots are not considered legal. It’s a novel way to implement Jim Crow without calling it Jim Crow and Trump is behind the similarly illegal efforts nationwide.
Graham’s “alleged” pressure campaign was part of the GOP’s ongoing and nationally-concerted effort to aid Trump’s plan to stage a bloodless, at least thus far, coup to stay ensconced in a place he has no right to visit, much less occupy.
According to Georgia’s election laws, Senator Lindsey Graham’s actions constitute a felony. However, no sane human being expects him to face any repercussions whatsoever because he is a Republican, a white Southern Senator, and he was acting specifically in Trump’s behalf.
Of course Graham claimed his attempted, not alleged, election interference was due to his overriding concern about election security with those nasty mail-in and absentee ballots. Since Graham was never concerned about mail-in or absentee ballots in the past, his actions lead normal humans to conclude that there was another issue driving his sudden “concern” about election security.
In this case, it was to ensure that Trump gets the number of votes from Georgia he demanded to remain in the White House. Graham is “alleged” to have also pressured election officials in Nevada and Arizona – two states that, like Georgia, he does not represent or have any more regard for than his own South Carolina constituents.
It was reported everywhere beginning Tuesday, that, besides being a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, staunch conservative, and Trump supporter, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperge accused Graham of asking him to throw out valid ballots. He said:
“Senator Graham implied for us to audit the envelopes and then throw out the ballots for counties who have the highest frequency error of signatures,”
A second witness involved in the phone call between Graham and. Raffensberge verified that the Secretary of State is telling the truth.
The gentleman confirming Raffensberge’s accusation, Gabriel Sterling, is an election implementation manager who said that he was “on the conference call where Graham asked about how ballots might be thrown out.” Mr. Sterling said:
“What I heard was basically discussions about absentee ballots. If there was a percentage of signatures that weren’t really, truly matching, is there some point we could get to, we could say, somebody went to a courtroom could say well, let’s throw (out) all these ballots.There is no physical ability for this office to do anything along those lines. If somebody wanted to go that route, they could go the court route.”
Graham naturally did what everyone in Trump’s circle has done since the loser’s very poorly attended inauguration – he lied like Trump and every two-bit, guilty street hoodlum caught in the act of committing a crime. Graham said regarding the criminal act that the accusation(s) are “ridiculous” and that he only wanted to “protect the integrity of mail-in voting,”
In an effort to hold Graham accountable for his attempt at further decimating America’s democracy for Trump, three lawyers asked the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee to investigate the call and whether Graham may have committed any ethics violations. The “complaint” reads, in part:
“If these allegations are true, Sen. Graham’s conduct constitutes an abuse of office and conduct unbecoming of a senator. For the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee to suggest to a state Secretary of State that he refrain from counting lawful votes threatens the electoral process and damages representative democracy.”
According to a report in Slate, “there is virtually no doubt that Graham committed a crime under Georgia law.” The piece also goes on to state the obvious: if Graham wasn’t a Trump bootlicker and Republican senator, he would be in serious legal jeopardy. Graham will not face an investigation or Senate ethics inquiry, much less be prosecuted “for conduct that would get almost anyone else arrested;” especially in a state like Georgia that has “a sordid history of prosecuting putative voter fraud involving far more innocent conduct.”
Some may say it is just business as usual in Trump world, but that is, in and of itself, a damning indictment of the state of our Union’s reresentative democracy. Anyone in their right mind who thinks Graham will ever be held to account for committing an “alleged” election crime is an idiot. But despite the injustice of another Trump criminal flouting the law with impunity, the dirty crook Graham deserves to be arrested, prosecuted, found guilty, and thrown in prison for the proscribed duration like any other criminal. However, Graham is a white, wealthy Republican and he is likely going to reap a hefty reward for acting in Trump’s stead.
It is true that Republicans have tried every dirty trick in the book to pervert the course of free and fair elections, but for a sitting United States senator to “allegedly” ask Georgia’s chief election official to throw out legal ballots during a conference call beggars belief – except in Trump’s America.

This final decision is a definitive administrative action to formally begin the transition process with federal agencies. In the days ahead, transition officials will begin meeting with federal officials to discuss the pandemic response, have a full accounting of our national security interests, and gain complete understanding of the Trump administration’s efforts to hollow out government agencies.”
Murphy’s decision to begin the transition came after House Democrats threatened her with a subpoena if she did not appear before them and testify tomorrow, and the state of Michigan certified Joe Biden as the winner of their election.
Trump had no path left to the presidency and he was unable to block Biden’s transition for any longer. It is clear that Donald Trump lost, and Emily Murphy had to begin the transition, or explain herself to Congress and the nation.
There will be no coup. The Biden presidency will begin on January 20, 2021.

But the Trump administration has had a very tough time in the court room .
Legal firms like Jones Day quickly decided against representing Donald Trump after seeing how poorly their efforts were going over in the court of public opinion .
And last night , the “ Elite Strike Force ” lost a member in Sidney Powell .
Despite the fact that the conspiracy-loving Powell obviously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the White House is now claiming she was not .
The team has now lost 35 of 36 cases in court .
So the next strategy was to convince Republican electors in states to not vote for Biden .
On Monday , that attempt failed in Michigan as the state ’ s Board of Canvassers certified Biden ’ s win in the state .
The Chair of the Board , Aaron Van Langevelde , said in a statement , “ This board must do its part to uphold the rule of law and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this election .
I will be supporting the motion.
” The Trump legal team quickly responded to the devastating loss .
Jenna Ellis quickly put out a statement that read , “ Certification by state officials is simply a procedural step .

The denial games like those being played by GSA Administrator Emily Murphy need to stop right now. Even the Republicans on the Michigan canvassing board are going to vote to certify the election in the state for Joe Biden.
This is not Florida in 2000. The election really wasn’t that close. Republicans have no reason to enable Trump and continue with the charade that the result is in doubt, or that there are results left to be contested.
Donald Trump lost at the ballot box. He has lost in court, and now he is losing his fight to stop the certification of Biden’s victory.
It is time for Republicans to get out of fantasyland, and kick Donald Trump to the curb because his presidency is over.

The Rep. Katie Porter/Emily Murphy showdown that so many on the left were excited to see is not happening. Murphy is revealing herself to not only be a Trump loyalist, but also a coward who is refusing to appear before Congress and explained why she is blocking the Biden transition from beginning.
The House needs to subpoena Murphy immediately.
Murphy is trying to run out the clock until the election is certified by the Electoral College on December 14. She isn’t a dedicated public servant who is trying to do the right thing for the country. She is a Trump loyalist who is putting pleasing Donald Trump ahead of doing what is right for the nation.
Forget a peaceful transfer of power. Under Emily Murphy, there has been no transition to a transfer of power at all.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Offers to Help Biden-Harris Administration with Coronavirus

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has offered to help President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to tackle the coronavirus pandemic as soon as they ’ re in office .
“ I offered to him and his team access to New Zealand health officials in order to share their experience on things we ’ ve learnt on our Covid-19 journey , ” Ardern said after she had her first joint meeting with both the president-elect and vice president-elect .

” Under Ardern ’ s leadership , New Zealand has eliminated Covid-19 twice .
The country has recorded just 25 deaths and 2,030 cases since the pandemic began .
By contrast , the United States has recorded more than 256,000 deaths and recently broke 12 million cases as the global epicenter for the coronavirus pandemic .
The news is a far cry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Donald Trump and his administration , who have weathered harsh criticism for undermining the severity of the pandemic as well as the pandemic response .

Despite this , Trump suggested that New Zealand ’ s response to the virus had faltered . )

politicususa--2020-11-26--WATCH: Former FBI Official Frank Figliuzzi Calls Flynn Pardon Another Obstruction of Justice

Donald Trump has quite a day on Wednesday .
After deciding not to attend a meeting of Republicans in Gettysburg , PA , he called the phone of lawyer Rudy Giuliani .
As the lawyer held the phone up to a microphone , Trump begged for the 2020 election results to be overturned .
After his widely mocked phone call , Trump decided to issue a pardon for Michael Flynn .
The disgraced former National Security Adviser had previously pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI .
Trump ’ s pardon was no surprise to anyone .
In fact , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Nicolle Wallace brought in former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi on air to talk about the situation .
“ While this doesn ’ t surprise anybody , here ’ s the deal , ” Figliuzzi began .
“ Within the Trump orbit , pardons go and will continue to go to the guilty and the silent .
And Michael Flynn has been both .
Pleading guilty to lying to the FBI and silent about what he knows , particularly about Russia engagement with the campaign and with Trump.

Donald Trump has quite a day on Wednesday. After deciding not to attend a meeting of Republicans in Gettysburg, PA, he called the phone of lawyer Rudy Giuliani. As the lawyer held the phone up to a microphone, Trump begged for the 2020 election results to be overturned.
After his widely mocked phone call, Trump decided to issue a pardon for Michael Flynn. The disgraced former National Security Adviser had previously pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
Trump’s pardon was no surprise to anyone. In fact, it was mostly expected. MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace brought in former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi on air to talk about the situation.
“While this doesn’t surprise anybody, here’s the deal,” Figliuzzi began. “Within the Trump orbit, pardons go and will continue to go to the guilty and the silent. And Michael Flynn has been both. Pleading guilty to lying to the FBI and silent about what he knows, particularly about Russia engagement with the campaign and with Trump.”
The former FBI official continued, “It also serves the Trump narrative to keep doing this and to pardon Flynn because Trump has been saying all along that the system is rigged against him, the justice system has it in for him. So, the more he can do to subvert the justice system, show that he thinks there’s fallacies to be — and flaws to be exposed, the more he’ll do it.”

While people like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson still defend the president, Trump doesn’t show the same loyalty to Fox. More and more, the president is telling his supporters to turn on OANN or Newsmax.
And Newsmax has been more than willing to support many of Trump’s biggest conspiracy theories. The network’s CEO, Chris Ruddy, recently admitted that these claims are made with no evidence.
The comments came during an interview with Mehdi Hasan. Hasan asked about a recent segment the network ran with Diamond and Silk that contained misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump’s big plan to show at a Republican-led PA Senate hearing on election fraud has flopped as the president has canceled his trip.

WH pool report from @matthewchoi2018: “Despite recent reports of the president leaving the White House, Judd Deere said there are no scheduling updates to today's public schedule at this time.” — Meridith McGraw (@meridithmcgraw) November 25, 2020
Rudy Giuliani wasn’t able to come on the trip with Trump because two people that attended his most recent press conference with him got coronavirus.
Trump’s plan, it appears was to make a big splash with Rudy and attend the hearing to make the claim that the election was stolen from him, but instead, Trump is going to continue sulking in the White House until he goes off to his Florida club at some point this holiday season.
Trump was going to make an election fraud last stand, but instead, it was another humiliating defeat for a president who has been nothing but losing for more than three weeks.
