Seems to be a tic, Trump called the election crooked when he won in 2016.

No big mystery here, Trump is trying to overturn a free and fair election and get the US presidency awarded to him by the courts.

‘The election wasn’t stolen — he blew it’:

Michigan Republican says Trump ‘did everything possible to lose’

Trump retains a hold that is forcing party leaders to continue down the path of executing his fantasy of overturning the outcome — at their own expense,”

“Frankly, continuing to humor him merely excuses his role in this.

The election wasn’t stolen, he blew it.

Up until the final two weeks,

he seemingly did everything possible to lose.

Given how close it was,

there is no one to blame but Trump.”
the Republicans, by the way, had far more challengers in the room than they were entitled to.”

Republican poll challengers had not gone through the proper training and were there for the wrong reasons.

“Reading these affidavits afterward from these Republican poll challengers,

I was just amazed at how misunderstood the election process was to them,”

the way we’ve handled this, it’s become a national embarrassment,”

regarding the early processing of absentee ballots.

We mishandled that this year.

We should have allowed for early processing. We didn’t, and it became a spectacle.

‘Dangerous’:

Mitch McConnell just engineered a lifetime judgeship for an ‘unqualified’ 33-year-old

the “dangerous” record of 33-year-old Kathryn Kimball Mizelle,

one of the final judicial nominees to be forced through by Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans —

and her complete lack of qualifications for the job, beyond her high-powered conservative connections.

“One of five judicial nominees waved through by the lame duck Senate

in a final vote before lawmakers left town for Thanksgiving, Mizelle’s confirmation is the most galling,”

“Mizelle is only eight years out of law school (University of Florida), and the ABA’s standard for a lifetime seat is 12 years of legal experience.

her only trial experience is as an intern before she graduated from law school.

She will take her seat on the Eleventh Circuit for the Middle District of Florida having

never tried a case — civil or criminal — as a lead attorney or co-counsel.”

Very few judges are ever confirmed to the federal bench in their early 30s,

concerns about Kathryn Mizelle’s ideology are at the core of Democratic opposition, and

they originate with her tenure at the Justice Department in 2017 and 2018 supervising litigation handled by the Civil Rights Division.

It was a time when many voting rights and LGBT protections were being rolled back.”

since 1896,

only one judicial nominee was ever advanced

during a lame duck session of a defeated president.

Trump has used bullying to cultivate an illusion of winning —

but losing is a defining feature of his life

some of the key moments in Trump’s life where he got smacked down by the individuals and institutions he challenged.

“At the end of the day, Trump at his core is who Trump has always been — a vaudevillian bully,”

“His history is also chock full of examples of

people and institutions that not only stood up to him but batted him back after he puffed his chest and swung his fists.”

“There are more examples of the bully being thumped,

just as there are myriad examples of Trump manipulating institutions and making end runs around the law,”

Trump didn’t

make the media crumble,

the courts acquiesce,

law enforcement look away or

Democrats succumb.

He has inflicted long-term damage on public trust and leadership,

visibly rendered in the nation’s failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but

he hasn’t managed to fashion a throne for himself

despite his fascination with dictators, propaganda and blunt force.”

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is standing up for President Donald Trump against attacks by the media.

Cuomo comments came during a radio interview with WAMC on Monday.

He maintained the press has taken on a “nastier tone” when dealing with Trump and was critical of reporters.

“The way they question President Trump at some of these press conferences is just — I’ve never heard that tone with the president,” Cuomo said.

The governor maintained there should be a certain decorum when dealing with the office of the president.

“There are reporters who just are unprofessional, don’t know the facts, and ask really biased questions,” Cuomo said. “You want to say, ‘Well, I don’t like the president and I disrespect him.’ I know, but it’s still the office of the president.”

Fox News noted that Cuomo had his own testy exchange recently with reporters who were confused about New York City’s school closure plan.

A reporter had said he was “still very confused,” leading to Cuomo’s reply: “Then you’re confused!”

And the governor added: "No, [parents are] not confused. You're confused. Read the law and you won't be confused."

Trump has set a hidden trap for Biden.

It could do great damage.

one of the most thorny problems Biden faces will be how to reverse the failures of the previous administration when it comes specifically to violent domestic extremism and white supremacy.

They include a look at whether federal law needs to be revamped (https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/white-nationalist-killers-are-terrorists-we-should-fight-them-like-terrorists/2019/08/08/3f8b761a-b964-11e9-bad6-609f75bfd97f_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_11) to treat white nationalist and white supremacist mass killings as a form of domestic terrorism.

Another imperative ... will be to take seriously the transnational nature (https://docs.house.gov/meetings/GO/GO02/20190920/109977/HHRG-116-GO02-Wstate-GeltzerJ-20190920.pdf) of global white nationalist and white supremacist groups and ideologies.

determining whether this sort of law enforcement activity can be done — and this is absolutely crucial — without violating civil liberties.

Only the pursuit of political aims through violent means should be the focus, and all violent ideologies must be targeted.

where the Trump trap comes in.

a pro-Trump insurgency (https://twitter.com/johnastoehr/status/1329508860713783296) as active and as angry as possible. There may be all kinds of overlap between that violent white supremacist activity and continued resistance to the Biden administration and anti-virus measures on the invented grounds that his victory was illegitimate.

The trap Trump set is to activate this insurgency,

making it more fiendishly challenging for Biden to make good on his vow to take the white supremacist threat far more seriously than Trump ever did.

Biden will be tempted to retreat in labeling that threat in the interests of “unity.” But that would be a retreat on a core rationale of his victorious candidacy.

Trump’s Final Cruelty:

Executing Prisoners

His death, by lethal injection, in the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, would be

the ninth carried out by the U.S. government since July—the ninth, in fact, since 2003.

And four more executions, besides Bernard’s, are slated to take place before President Donald Trump leaves office.

(Less than half of the states still execute convicted people.)

Attorney General William Barr (https://www.newyorker.com/tag/william-barr) announced that the Justice Department would resume this archaic ritual of violence,

“one more stunt to distract Americans from the misdeeds of his boss” and a reckless fulfillment of a promise of law and order.

https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/trumps-final-cruelty-executing-prisoners

IIRC, the last execution is 1 week before Federal-death-penalty-blocking Biden's inauguration.

A column co-authored by former U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis which called for an end to President Trump’s “America First” foreign policy did not include a disclosure regarding the retired four-star general’s work with the Cohen Group, an international business advisory firm active in China.

Mattis was one of four listed authors for the column published by Foreign Affairs and entitled “Defense in Depth: Why U.S. Security Depends on Alliances—Now More Than Ever.” The column said the United States’ “principal external threat” was an “aggressive and revisionist China—the only challenger that could potentially undermine the American way of life” and called for a shift toward increased international cooperation to counteract China’s influence.

The column disclosed Mattis’ roles as a fellow at the Hoover Institution and the former Secretary of Defense, but did not reference his work with the Cohen Group, where he has served as a “senior counselor” since September 2019. The firm, which advises clients on international business deals, has two offices located in China.

Donor to pro-Trump group sues to get his money back after dropped election lawsuits

A North Carolina donor who gave $2.5 million to a group promising to help President Donald Trump's effort to overturn the results of the general election is now suing to get his money back.

Fred Eshelman, who has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Republicans in 2020, according to Federal Election Commission data, says in his lawsuit that the organization True the Vote had not fulfilled the conditions of his monetary gift.

The organization disputes the lawsuit's claims as "not accurate."

According to the suit filed Wednesday, Eshelman allegedly wired $2 million on Nov. 5 and an additional $500,000 on Nov. 13 that was intended to be put toward True the Vote's "Validate the Vote" strategy.

The initiative was designed to investigate and litigate claims of voter fraud and "solicit whistleblower testimonies," "build public momentum," "galvanize Republican legislative support in key states," "analyze data to identify patterns of election subversion" and "file lawsuits ... with the capacity to be heard by the Supreme Court of the United States."

True the Vote dropped lawsuits in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin on Nov. 16.

the Capitalist oligarchy and its hitmen the Repugs will be ready the next time with a smarter candidate fully prepared

Biden won —

but Trump gave authoritarians a disturbing lesson on

‘how to steal an election'

Trump has given future authoritarians "very powerful lessons in just how to steal an election" — and

those lessons range from "convince your voters that the election has been stolen from them" to

"make sure local and state officials are loyal" to

"open the door to state legislatures seizing the vote."

"What Republicans have learned from this election — apart from their willingness to dismiss as utterly irrelevant the fact that their candidate lost by 7 million popular votes — is that

the ancient machinery of conducting elections is rusted, frail and highly vulnerable," Greenfield warns.

"They have seen exactly where the stress points of the system are, and

how to pressure those stress points, and

how it is raw political pressure —

not lawsuits or procedural know-how —

that offers them the most leverage."

Here is George Clooney response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing:
I grew up in Kentucky.
I sold insurance door-to-door.
I sold ladies’ shoes.
I worked at an all-night liquor store.
I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews.

I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and

this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.


People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career.

So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous.

Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company.

He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of.

He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things,

you have to find consensus with all of them, and

you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff.

I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite?

I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard,

Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard!

https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Jeanine-Pirro-and-Sean-Hannity-and-Tucker-Carlson.png

the Fox News network and its primetime hosts were cheerleaders for Republican lawmakers but

now they call the shots

knowing they can make or break conservative politicians by offering or withholding access to the network (https://thebulwark.com/the-gop-is-a-propaganda-party/).

the symbiotic bond between GOP lawmakers and the popular conservative news network resembles

the creepy relationship between a parasite and its host.

the prime time hosts on Fox were once happy to promote whatever the Republican Party wanted but,

as their influence with Donald Trump grew —

with the president often parroting their talking points —

they discovered they could set the agenda for the country.

, “…they saw an opportunity to burrow deep inside the GOP and wield real power.

It worked.

So well that the GOP, as an institution,

no longer controls its tongue and

its craven media parasites are the only thing keeping it alive,”

“All day, every day, these talkers, writers, producers, and editors set the party agenda.

They act as the Republican party’s ‘war room.’

They give favored politicians airtime to solicit donations (https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/media/lindsey-graham-help-me-money-contributions-fox/2020/09/25/ea2d6d14-ff57-11ea-8d05-9beaaa91c71f_story.html) from their viewers.

They go negative on their political enemies.

Their stars even headline (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/06/us/politics/trump-fox-news-hannity.html) campaign events to rev up the base and get out the vote,”

Fox’s influence has impacted the GOP in a negative way where

lawmakers keep their names at the forefront

by spending their days making outrageous claims and

trolling for likes and followers on Twitter

instead of doing their jobs.

“… the Fox primetime hosts have only one primary function now:

Keep Trump’s GOP alive, no matter what.

They feed themselves and feed the political machine at once.

And, without them, the GOP in its current form will wither and die.

The propaganda is the party and the party is propaganda. Sink or swim.”

“In this case, Kazakhstan’s largest city and a Kazakhstani bank seek to recover millions of dollars in stolen funds from those who allegedly helped the culprits launder them,”

“Felix Sater—the alleged ringleader of the money-laundering operation—along with his associate Daniel Ridloff and several business entities they control, move to dismiss.”

Like Sater, Ridloff was also formerly associated (https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article162789803.html) with the Trump Organization.

the ruling itself does not contain explicit references to Trump properties.

accuses Sater of helping the Almaty mayor’s son Ilyas Khrapunov launder stolen funds in at least five schemes throughout the United States, including through Trump Soho.

“Sater not only met with Ilyas Khrapunov in Trump Tower to discuss laundering the stolen funds, but

he also personally arranged meetings between Ilyas and Donald J. Trump to discuss possible investments,”

there was also a proposal to funnel money through Trump Tower Moscow, :lol

before that plan fell apart around the time of the 2016 presidential election.

Sater conspired with Ilyas to invest the stolen funds to develop a Trump Tower project in Russia,

which Sater has claimed

would have been a ‘high-rise, high-end development that could make a significant amount of money,'”

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, (https://www.wsj.com/articles/fake-claims-about-dominion-voting-systems-do-real-damage-11606755399) U.S. CEO John Poulos called the claims strange and obviously wrong.

“Dominion is an American company, now headquartered in Denver.

Dominion is not and has never been a front for communists. :lol

It has no ties to Hugo Chávez, :lol the late dictator of Venezuela.

It has never been involved in Venezuelan elections.

None of Dominion’s systems use the Smartmatic software that has come under attack, as any state certification lab could verify.”

he said there was “no secret ‘vote flipping’ algorithm.”

The Superspreader White House Is Throwing a Dozen Indoor Holiday Parties During a Pandemic

the White House held its first holiday party Monday afternoon and is

set to throw a dozen or so more indoor holiday parties (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/white-house-planning-holiday-parties-indoors-pandemic-warnings/story?id=74357120)

because “the president and the first lady are determined to have a final holiday season in the White House.”
“The parties will be paid for by the Republican Party, a person with knowledge of the planning said, and will cost millions of dollars,” the Post reports, “including a large congressional ball on Dec. 10.”

Trump checked out weeks ago even as the country battles surge upon surge of coronavirus cases.

Trump has shown little interest in protecting those around him or modeling good behavior for the rest of the country;

he has largely refused to wear masks or social distance, and has derided those who do.

As a result, the Trump White House has hosted two recent events—Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination and an election night party—

that resulted in an outbreak of cases in the White House, including top advisers, the Trump family, and even the president himself.

[M]ake no mistake:

The chief driver of the post-election contention of the past several weeks is

the petulant refusal of one man to accept the verdict of the American people.

The Trump team (and much of the GOP) is working backwards,

desperately trying to find something, anything to support the president’s aggrieved feelings,

rather than objectively considering the evidence and reacting as warranted.

“Almost nothing that the Trump team has alleged has withstood the slightest scrutiny.”


In particular, it’s hard to find much that is remotely true in the president’s Twitter feed these days.

It is full of already-debunked claims and crackpot conspiracy theories about Dominion voting systems.

Trump’s most reprehensible tactic has been to attempt, somewhat shamefacedly, to get local Republican officials to block the certification of votes and state legislatures to appoint Trump electors in clear violation of the public will.

This has gone nowhere, thanks to the honesty and sense of duty of most of the Republicans involved,

but it’s a profoundly undemocratic move that we hope no losing presidential candidate ever even thinks of again.

The official serving as President Donald Trump’s eyes and ears at the Justice Department has been banned from the building after trying to pressure staffers to give up sensitive information about election fraud and other matters she could relay to the White House, three people familiar with the matter tell The Associated Press.

Heidi Stirrup, an ally of top Trump adviser Stephen Miller, was quietly installed at the Justice Department as a White House liaison a few months ago. She was told within the last two weeks to vacate the building after top Justice officials learned of her efforts to collect insider information about ongoing cases and the department’s work on election fraud, the people said.

Stirrup is accused of approaching staffers in the department demanding they give her information about investigations, including election fraud matters, the people said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.

In another blow to Trump, two dissenting conservative justices questioned whether disqualifying more than 221,000 ballots as Trump wanted would be the proper remedy to the errors he alleged.

The naked emperor has become a national laughingstock

For weeks, there was an undercurrent of panic that he might somehow pull it off, as he has managed, in the past, to pull off all manner of illegal and unethical acts without facing consequences.

Trump’s self-pitying rant registered as pitiful instead of frightening.

The speech barely touched the top headlines at most major news sites.

The tone of most media coverage was more condescending than fearful.

Outrage is quickly being eclipsed by annoyance at Trump for being

a pest who doesn’t know when to pack it up and go home.

what has changed is power.

Trump may still be president for another 48 days, but

his power is receding, and with it his ability to terrorize us with his lies is receding as well.

He’s looking less like a dictator and more like a sad guy at an undersized desk every day (https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/11/27/lifestyle/trump-sat-behind-an-itty-bitty-desk-internet-loved-it/).

Trump is a living illustration of why authoritarians worship power so much —

because only power can imbue a buffoon as ridiculous as Donald Trump with importance.

“The absurdity is part of the point,” Megan Garber of the Atlantic wrote about Trump’s silly inauguration lies (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/01/the-absurdity-of-donald-trumps-lies/579622/).

“The president lies because, as any autocrat will tell you, lying is its own will to power.”

Trump himself understands perfectly well that power is the only thing that really matters.

because voters used their power, Biden won too many states for Trump to pull off the coup he was anticipating.

‘He’s treated pardons like party favors’

investigated a suspected bribery scheme involving President Donald Trump,

a wealthy Republican donor and a pardon.

real estate developer Sanford Diller offered to make a “substantial” donation to an unspecified recipient

just raises all new questions about the pardon process going on at the White House, and

that’s because the president has on process and what he’s done,

he has treated pardons like party favors or gifts for friends, and

in doing that has opened up the door

to certainly, you know, allow the public to wonder

what’s really going on here and

how are you using your pardon power?”

Diller enlisted Jared Kushner’s attorney Abbe Lowell and

Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy in his pardon scheme, which ended when Diller died in 2018.

A mysterious company created 9 months ago is the RNC’s highest paid vendor of the 2020 election

(RNC) had paid about $5 million to a mystery marketing services (https://www.salon.com/2020/07/28/this-scheme-is-illegal-trump-campaign-masked-170-million-in-payments-watchdog-alleges/) company called

Digital Consulting Group LLC,

starting with a $2 million expenditure in February, just a month after the company was formed.

Now, filings (https://www.fec.gov/data/disbursements/?data_type=processed&recipient_name=digital+consulting+group&two_year_transaction_period=2016&two_year_transaction_period=2018&two_year_transaction_period=2020) with the Federal Election Commission show that the RNC paid Digital Consulting Group more than $42 million for media buys, consulting and marketing between February and October.

The company went from nonexistent to being the Republican Party’s highest-paid (https://www.salon.com/2020/09/08/short-on-cash-trump-campaign-appears-to-be-hiding-large-dollar-payments-to-top-staff/) vendor of the 2020 election, all in the space of eight months.

The RNC’s spending reports list a virtual address in Wilmington, but beyond that

the company cannot be traced.

“The RNC likely wouldn’t take a $42 million gamble on a newly-created operation with no track record;

presumably, Digital Consulting Group LLC was set up by trusted political operatives.”

Fauci a Little Weirded Out by People Suddenly Listening to Him

https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5fca50e70013a5ddc52c144e/master/w_2560%2Cc_limit/Borowtiz-Fauci.jpg

WASHINGTON —Dr. Anthony Fauci is “a little weirded out” by people suddenly listening to him, the virologist has confirmed.

After months of being virtually ignored, Fauci said that the phenomenon of people paying attention when he says something is “kind of freaky.”

“I guess I got used to being in meetings where

I’d start talking and people would take that as an opportunity to look at their phones,” he said.

“This whole thing of me saying things and other people listening to me has kind of thrown me for a loop.”

Fauci added that the novel experience of people acknowledging his existence has created “a ton of pressure.”

“It’s bizarre, frankly, to all of a sudden be saying things and have people ask follow-up questions, like they were listening to what I just said,” he said.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining.

But when people are actually listening to what you say it can be kind of stressful.

You really have to bring your A game and can’t just phone it in.

Be careful what you wish for, I guess.”

word came from the Pentagon that the Biden team would have no engagement with defense intelligence agencies until it had submitted questions in advance and listed the names of the people with whom it wanted to interact.

the Biden team’s requests would be reviewed by the Defense Department’s general counsel and Kash Patel, the Trump loyalist appointed to lead the Pentagon’s transition last month amid President Donald Trump’s purge of civilian leadership at the department.

Trump administration seeks to tie Biden’s hands.

Will it work?

the flurry of “midnight regulations” being set in motion by the Trump administration adds another disruptive dimension to a handover already marked by tumult.

the conflicts marking the current changeover stand to be among the most consequential.

this is going to be one of the most challenging transitions in the country’s history,”

In the domestic sphere, examples of controversial end-of-term moves by the White House and federal agencies include:



Dozens of government regulations, with sped-up timelines for approval, that affect food and worker safety, oil drilling in national parks, migrant workers, food stamps, endangered species, transgender people, refugees, and federal executions, among other issues.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s move to put $455 billion in unspent COVID-19 stimulus relief money back in the Treasury’s general fund. Janet Yellen, the incoming secretary, if confirmed, would have to get permission from Congress to access the funds for that purpose. Secretary Mnuchin denies he is trying to hinder the incoming Biden administration.
A major change to the federal civil service – called the biggest in generations – that would reclassify tens of thousands of career employees into political appointees, removing job protections. Such a move would make it easier, for example, for the current president to fire Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading epidemiologist, with whom he has clashed.


the Oct. 21 executive order signed by Mr. Trump is reportedly accelerating at a key agency, the Office of Management and Budget.

Reclassifying employees at other agencies is also being “fast-tracked” ahead of the Jan. 19 deadline into the new job category, known as “Schedule F.”

unwinding the Schedule F move won’t be easy. Employees who have been fired can’t necessarily be instantly rehired, nor can those hired under the new job category be immediately dismissed.

numerous foreign-policy steps whose goals or implementation don’t necessarily mesh with those of the incoming Biden team:



Announced troop level cuts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The formal exit of the United States from the so-called Open Skies Treaty, which allows Russia and the West to engage in reconnaissance flights over each other’s territories. Rejoining the treaty wouldn’t be simple. The U.S. has moved to get rid of the special planes it used to carry out surveillance.
Arms sales to the United Arab Emirates worth $23 billion, which could alter the balance of power in the Middle East.
Added sanctions on Iran that would make it harder for the United States to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal.
