The Donald Trump Score Card

The U.S. had another rough day of rounding Trump's corner with 1,248 coronavirus deaths on Friday.

 

The video of Paul White ranting frantically doesn't look or sound much different than some of the members of the Congress up at the podium.

 

It scares me to think that these people have a following, and that prominent members of the U.S. Senate, namely Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, are fueling the craziness by backing charges of election fraud without a shred of credible evidence. Cruz, Graham add fuel to Trump’s inflammatory vote-fraud charges

 

The Trump camp has been complaining that they weren't able in PA to observe ballot counting close enough to clearly discern signatures. A PA judge allowed them to observe closer.


Cruz, Graham add fuel to Trump’s inflammatory vote-fraud charges

excerpt:

"But the Trump campaign’s own lawyers acknowledged, in a hearing, that there have been Republican observers in the room at all times since mail ballots began to be opened and counted at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

“Their counsel admitted at the hearing, after questions from the court, that they had several representatives in the room,” said the Philadelphia City Commissioners in a statement. The commissioners, two Democrats and one Republican who oversee voting in the city, said there were between 15 and 19 Republican observers present all day on Thursday."

 

It was as if the judge gave Trump and his supporters a pacifier.



Pennsylvania judge permits campaign observers up-close view of ballot count after Trump complaint

excerpt:

"Judge Christine Fizzano Cannon reversed a lower court decision, and concluded that “all candidates, watchers, or candidate representatives be permitted to be present for the canvassing process … and be permitted to observe all aspects of the canvassing process within 6 feet, while adhering to all COVID-19 protocols, including, wearing masks and maintaining social distancing.”

Trump campaign officials hailed the decision, calling it a “massive” win “for every person who has casted a legal ballot in the state of Pennsylvania."

Biden campaign officials said they were puzzled by the lawsuit, one of several filed in Pennsylvania as elections officials have been grinding through counting hundreds of thousands of ballots since Tuesday.

“Massive victory? No. We don't care if your observers are 18 feet away or 15 feet away or 6 feet away -- as long as election officials can do their jobs,” one Biden official tweeted Thursday,” tweeted Biden spokesman Bill Russo.

The court decision is not expected to have any impact on the vote count, one Democratic attorney involved in the case told ABC News. Whether it will affect the count going forward will depend on the conduct of the observers, and whether they do anything to try and disrupt the process. The attorney said city officials were deliberating about whether or not to appeal."

 

Team Trump would probably protest having to wear face coverings to observe ballots at such a close range to the counting officials.

 

Regarding the coal fire generating plants………….

The US became the first country to officially exit the Paris Climate Accord, but once Joe Biden is sworn in as President, one of his first official acts will be
to rejoin the alliance of countries dedicated to the preservation of the planet.

 

The U.S. had 126,000 new coronavirus cases on Friday.

Trump was angered by Fox calling Arizona for Biden.


From AP:

• Arizona: Biden leads Trump by about 30,000 votes as of Friday evening. The AP called Arizona for Biden around 2:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday. Fox News had also called the state for Biden, angering the president's campaign, which expressed confidence it can still win.

• Nevada: Biden had been leading in the Silver State by a comfortable margin on election night, but the race tightened considerably. Biden's lead over Trump is now just north of 22,000 votes.

• Georgia: Biden took the lead in the Peach State early Friday and as of Friday evening leads Trump by about 4,300 votes. The secretary of state announced that there will be a recount in Georgia as the final margin is expected to be within half a percentage point.

• Pennsylvania: Biden took the lead in the Keystone State Friday morning. As of 10:30 p.m. ET, his edge over Trump was more than 28,000 votes.

 

Yea...ostrich America is about to pull its head out of the sand!

 

Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, tests positive for the coronavirus.


Mark Meadows, Trump's Chief Of Staff, Has Coronavirus

excerpt:

"Meadows reportedly informed several advisers of his COVID-19 diagnosis after Election Day. Meadows was in the White House on Tuesday night with Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr. and others, and attended a party there that had hundreds in attendance."

 

That irresponsible SOB

 

Lindsey Graham said he would donate half a million dollars to Trump's legal team to challenge the election.

Trump is looking for $60 million for his legal team.

Parscale, whom Trump fired, plans to write a tell-all book.



‘My sense is that we lost’: Trump campaign aides grapple with dwindling odds

excerpt:

"In a tweet, former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale gave a backhanded compliment to Hannah Castillo, who ran the campaign’s Latino outreach program and oversaw coalition operations earlier this year. “She should get credit for an amazing job!” tweeted Parscale, who was fired in July. “Too bad she wasn’t there the last couple months.”

Shortly after, news broke that Parscale, who spoke to the president daily as chief of his campaign and has been a trusted friend of the first family, planned to join the ranks of ex-Trump aides who have cashed in with tell-all books.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. lashed out at Republicans — including rumored 2024 GOP hopefuls — who had not yet come to his father’s defense on Trump’s evidence-free claims of illegal vote counting and a rigged election. Just minutes after the younger Trump issued a scathing call for backup, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and others chimed in. In a Fox News appearance Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he would contribute $500,000 to the president’s legal defense fund to pursue challenges to vote tabulations."

 

Update on Trump's 'rounding the turn'.

Will This Election Be A Replay Of 'Bush v. Gore' At The Supreme Court? Not Likely

Will This Election Be A Replay Of 'Bush v. Gore' At The Supreme Court? Not Likely

excerpts:

"But at the same time that Trump was calling for a halt to the counting in states where his lead was disappearing, he wanted the vote counting to continue in places where it was Biden's lead that was eroding."


"Election experts, both conservative and liberal, however, say that so far they have seen no evidence of fraud. Rather, as professor Muller puts it, the allegations have been "nitpicky stuff," like observers who wanted to be, and were ultimately allowed to be, closer to the ballot counters. Indeed, in an era when TV cameras are literally in the vote-counting centers recording what goes on, it makes it more difficult to cry "foul.""

 

observers want to be close enough, (literally wanting to stand over the vote counters) and during a damn pandemic- Idiots....!!!!

 

Trump didn't allow any questions after his Thursday evening speech.

He cowardly walked away after making numerous unsubstantiated allegations.

Santorum calls Trump's claims of election cheating 'dangerous'

excerpt:

"Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House Thursday evening, claimed “the officials overseeing the counting in Pennsylvania and other key states are all part of a corrupt Democrat machine that you’ve written about.”

Trump noted he received a bachelor’s degree at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia “and I know a lot about it.”

“It hasn’t changed, it’s gotten worse,” he said.

“In Pennsylvania, partisan Democrats have allowed ballots in the state to be received three days after the election and we think much more than that,” Trump added. “And they’re counting those without even postmarks or any identification whatsoever.”

Trump also asserted “there have been a number of disturbing irregularities across the nation.”"

 

Trump continues with unsubstantiated claims.

From Yahoo News.



""Tens of thousands of votes were illegally received after 8 P.M. on Tuesday, Election Day, totally and easily changing the results in Pennsylvania and certain other razor thin states," the president tweeted.

In fact, ballots can still be legally received in some states as long as they were postmarked by Nov. 3. Pennsylvania has not begun counting such ballots that arrived after Election Day. In Allegheny County, officials said they received 947 mail-in ballots postmarked by Nov. 3 and would begin processing them today.

"As a separate matter, hundreds of thousands of Votes were illegally not allowed to be OBSERVED," Trump continued, again offering no evidence. "This would ALSO change the Election result in numerous States, including Pennsylvania, which everyone thought was easily won on Election Night, only to see a massive lead disappear, without anyone being allowed to OBSERVE."

In fact, both Republican and Democratic officials were able to observe vote counting. The Trump campaign went to federal court seeking an injunction to stop the vote count in Philadelphia over poll watcher access, but when pressed by the judge, lawyers for the president acknowledged they had a "non zero number" of observers in the room."
