Trump just had the US Armed Forces fly two long range inside Chinese air dense identification zone. Trump not only wants to start a war with Iran; he also wants to start one with China. The man is bitter and vindictive. He was also vindictive with public employees who had the responsibility to protect our elections. Our Patriotic public employees have been instrumental in protecting our votes during 30 assaults by Trump on our Democracy. Trump has failed in all his criminal attempts to block and overturn votes; and now, he has turned vindictive enough to deny the American voters Coronavirus relief, and deny the American people customary executive transition. Starting a war with China would be Trump's vindictive way of retaliating against Americans who did not want to vote for him.
He's trying to provoke China into a real war. He just ordered two long range bombers to fly through their air space. The Chinese are not going to take that lightly. It's no longer just Formosa and the South China Sea. It's all of China this time. Trump is acting like he wants to burn the entire world down on his way out.
I keep telling friends and family that he is out to ruin every aspect of American government, on purpose! He ruined one agency after another from BLM to DOJ. He ruined our military and intel agencies. He attacked and damaged our elections and courts. He threw a monkey wrench into our public health apparatus. Now he wants to start a war with China. It sure looks like he wanted all that from the start. Maybe Putin told him so?
Trump will not spend Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago Trump canceled his annual plan to spend Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago, as aides describe a 'bunker mentality' at the White House
The end of the Trump White House is *exactly* as bad as we thought it would be - CNNPolitics excerpt: "Which is a statement of fact. There simply have not been any proven instances of foreign interference in the 2020 election or malicious malfunctioning of voting machines in the country. None. Krebs' job was to keep this election safe and secure. He did his job. "I know Chris, I've worked well with him," said Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman in the wake of Krebs' removal. "I think he's a real professional." And yet, Krebs still got fired. For doing his job. Because our current President lives in a fantasy world where he believes there was widespread voter fraud."
Trump campaign spends $3 million for partial recount in Wisconsin. Trump campaign filing for partial Wisconsin recount, deposits $3 million to challenge Biden victory excerpts: "Trump’s campaign said in a statement that it will petition to recount the ballots in two heavily Democratic counties: Milwaukee, which includes the city of Milwaukee, and Dane, which contains the state’s capital of Madison. The campaign claimed “illegal” voting activity was carried out by Wisconsin election officials, without providing evidence of any widespread problems that could upend Biden’s more than 20,000-vote lead." "By requesting recounts solely in those two counties, the Trump campaign avoids paying an estimated $7.9 million that would have been required for a statewide recount. Trump also avoids recounting in the more than 60 counties in Wisconsin that he won, possibly reducing his ballot tally overall."
The Trump campaign is targeting the areas with a large percentage of minorities in Wisconsin like it did in Michigan (Wayne County which contains Detroit). Trump campaign filing for partial Wisconsin recount, deposits $3 million to challenge Biden victory excerpt: "Both counties have larger minority populations than the state overall, according to U.S. Census data from 2019. More than 27% of Milwaukee County’s population is Black, compared with less than 7% statewide."
Can Trump actually stage a coup and stay in office for a second term? excerpt: "Say the worst-case scenario comes to fruition and Republican-led legislatures override the will of the people in several states. Is there any safeguard to stop Trump? Yes. Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Nevada all have Democratic governors who would refuse to approve a set of Trump electors with the popular vote clearly showing Biden winning their state. Instead, they would submit the electors Biden is entitled to as the winner of the popular vote. It would then fall to Congress, which is charged with counting the votes from the electoral college, to decide what to do. The law that outlines the process for how Congress should handle a dispute in electors from a state is extremely confusing, but experts believe the slate backed by a state’s governor is the legally sound one. There is a rival theory that the president of the Senate, Mike Pence, could have control over the process. A dispute over electors between the US House and Senate is a worst-case scenario and the US supreme court would probably be asked to step in. Regardless of however long a dispute is, the constitution does set one final deadline. Even if counting is ongoing, the president and vice-president’s terms both end at noon on 20 January. At that point if there isn’t a final result in the race, the speaker of the House – probably Nancy Pelosi – would become the acting president."
Wisconsin is still setting new record highs for the coronavirus. 2,276 hospitalizations and 456 ICU patients on Nov. 16. 92 deaths on Nov. 17.
Hypothetical concession speech by Trump. What concession remarks from Donald Trump could sound like excerpt: "You know, on January 11, 1989 Ronald Reagan (much overrated, that I can tell you) gave his farewell address. He spoke of peering through the windows of the White House residence, where the President and his family/senior staff live. He would gaze over the White House grounds, to the Washington Monument, then the Mall and the Jefferson Memorial. On clear days, he said he could see into Virginia, as far away as the Bull Run battlefield, where Lincoln saw smoke rise on the day the south defeated the north in the Revolutionary War of 1812. Well, I see more prosaic things in the residence. I see Sean Hannity amd Tucker Carlson on my 60 inch screen in the Lincoln Bedroom. And speaking of Sean and Tucker, I am pleased to announce that they will be joining my new digital media property, “TRUMP TV!” which will soon overtake the Failing-Fox-News in the ratings. Not since The Apprentice Season 1 Finale have we seen such powerful programming: “Trump Tonight”, “Hannity and Trump”, “Trump & Tucker” and “The MAGA Morning Show with Jared and Ivanka!” and “Judge Rudy.” (For advertising rates, contact Executive Vice President for Sales, Kayleigh McEnany.)"
He's proven day by day to be an authoritarian, a cruel, lying conniving, narcissistic, bullying ,fear mongering dirty son of a bitch. Over 25,000 lies, the enrichment of his crime family, the ruination of government agencies by installing toadies that are clearly ineffective at best and ruinous at worst , firing those that have the common sense and the balls to stand up to him----- is going to have a long term effect on the politics of this country. He's caused the deaths of thousands of people in and out of his death cult by lying and stalling efforts to get this virus under control. I'm not sure why he can't be charged with manslaughter, among other charges that should be brought against him. He and his family have no shame whatsoever and they should be called what they are--crooked, racist nazi pigs. And the balls of this piece of shit--and the cowardly republicans, refusing to help and facilitate a peaceful, orderly transition from his chaotic and inept " administration" is ALMOST beyond belief. It's not about the constitution, it's not about the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, it's not about anything other than the lousy prick--Donald J. Trump. TheTrump cult--those who seem to love and revere this terribly flawed person , will unfortunately be around for decades poking their sticks in the spokes of democracy to the detriment of us all, even their unwitting selves. And the truly scary part--THE MOTHERFUCKER IS NOT DONE YET!!!!!!!! If those two run off elections in Georgia are not won by democrats----we'll have four more years of McConnell, republican obstructionism and absolutely nothing will get done that benefits any segment of the population other than the rich.
