Giuliani informed everyone that he has 7 more Trump cases to bungle. A rusty Giuliani returns to the courtroom on Trump's behalf excerpt: "As he left the courthouse Tuesday night, Giuliani, 76, appeared unconcerned whether he’d lose that case — “well, obviously if we lose it, we’ll appeal it” — and suggested that the Trump campaign’s eggs are not in one basket. “There are eight cases, I’m afraid to tell you,” Giuliani said."
1,956 new coronavirus deaths in the U.S. on Nov. 18 that, according to Trump, are a benign result of increased testing for a virus that affects virtually nobody.
The White House makes Thanksgiving an object of dispute. As pandemic surges, Trump White House calls Thanksgiving restrictions 'Orwellian'
And last week, he gave $1 million to the republican senate campaigns in Georgia. Ostensibly to defeat the radical agenda of the democrats. Barr will be right on top of it, of course Lindsay will end up looking like a pancake.
A third iteration of the PA suit. Trump campaign revises Pennsylvania suit, again The latest version of the lawsuit asks the court to declare Trump the winner in Pennsylvania. By JOSH GERSTEIN 11/18/2020 08:14 PM EST Trump campaign revises Pennsylvania suit, again excerpt: "President Donald Trump’s campaign has filed yet another version of its lawsuit over the election results in Pennsylvania, now contending that he should be named the victor in the presidential contest there or that the state legislature be given the authority to assign the state’s 20 electoral votes. The third iteration of the suit also restores legal claims dropped in the second version that the campaign’s constitutional rights were violated because of allegedly inadequate access for observers during the processing of mail-in ballots."
The Trump campaign is now pleading in the name of international democracy. Trump campaign revises Pennsylvania suit, again excerpt: "The new pleading also continues to pursue an unusual tack for Republicans: invoking international standards to assess the legitimacy of U.S. election procedures. Trump campaign lawyers also leveled bitter criticism at a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision Tuesday that found, by a vote of 5-2, that access for election observers was adequate even if they could not see the details of individual ballots. “In contrast to the 2002 International Electoral Standards … the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has struck out in a unique direction among democracies and declared that meaningful observers are not part of verification and votes may be counted without any review by political campaigns and parties,” the Trump campaign’s new complaint says."
Trump campaign revises Pennsylvania suit, again excerpt: "The new complaint also comes close to accusing the judges of Pennsylvania’s highest court of political bias, the kind of accusation that is common in newspaper editorials and cable news shows but rarely appears in federal court pleadings filed by experienced attorneys."
A visual representation of Covid deaths in the US (now doubled)... And your liar in chief said it would be down to zero and gone by the summer in the hot weather? Shame on him and shame on the people who enabled him.
While Trump sulks, Americans get sick and die Analysis by Stephen Collinson and Maeve Reston, CNN Updated 12:07 AM ET, Thu November 19, 2020 While Trump sulks, Americans get Covid-19 and die - CNNPolitics excerpt: "In Minnesota, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz announced a four-week "dial back" barring in-person gatherings with individuals beyond each household, restricting bars and restaurants to takeout and delivery, and closing gyms and entertainment venues. "We are at a breaking point. As hospitals near the crisis of turning away new patients, continuing as things are is simply not sustainable," Walz said as he announced the new restrictions. "The actions announced today will help prevent more families from losing a loved one and ensure our hospitals can treat those who fall ill.""
While Trump sulks, Americans get Covid-19 and die - CNNPolitics excerpt: "The nation's top infectious disease specialist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said Wednesday that the denial he is seeing across the United States pains him and he hasn't been able to speak to Biden's team: "I would wish that we would be able to do that." "Even in some of the states where they're getting really hit badly, we're hearing people even denying there's a problem as their hospitals are getting filled," Fauci told the USA Today editorial board. He said he was frustrated by those who still claim that Covid-19 is like the flu. "You have a quarter of a million deaths, 11 million infections," Fauci said. "Flu doesn't even come close.""
Trump is upset with the Philadelphia commissioner. Trump on November 11: “A guy named Al Schmidt, a Philadelphia commissioner and so-called Republican (RINO), is being used big time by the Fake News Media to explain how honest things were with respect to the election in Philadelphia. He refuses to look at a mountain of corruption & dishonesty. We win!”
Trump and McConnell have appointed and confirmed another federal judge who had never tried a case in her life. The American Bar Association has declared this new judge unqualified. Her name is Kimball or something like that.
GOP election official changes mind again after initially voting to not certify and later voting to certify. GOP Election Officials in Michigan Now Want to “Rescind” Their Votes to Certify Detroit-Area Results By Elliot Hannon Nov 19, 20206:40 AM GOP Election Officials in Michigan Now Want to “Rescind” Their Votes to Certify Detroit-Area Results excerpt: "The two low-level Republican officials in Michigan who, first, tried to block the certification of a portion of the state’s election results, and then agreed to certify those results covering the Detroit area ahead of the legal deadline Tuesday night, reversed course again Wednesday evening and signed affidavits asking to rescind their earlier certification votes. The two Republicans on the four-member Wayne County Board of Canvassers, chairwoman Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, now say they were pressured into certifying the county’s results and believe that Democrats have reneged on what they say was an agreement to audit the votes in Detroit. As a consequence, they now want to decertify the results in one of the most populous counties in the country."
GOP Election Officials in Michigan Now Want to “Rescind” Their Votes to Certify Detroit-Area Results excerpt: "“I rescind my prior vote,” Palmer’s affidavit reads. “I fully believe the Wayne County vote should not be certified.” Fellow Republican board member Hartmann signed a similar statement. A Democrat on the board, however, said that both Republicans knew exactly what they were agreeing to, that there was support for an audit as a form of compromise, but that it was ultimately at the discretion of the state secretary of state (who is a Democrat). Both Republicans came under intense pressure from the local community for attempting to block the certification of precincts that were majority Black, while confirming the counts in surrounding majority-white areas. Meanwhile, the entirety of the national Republican establishment, which has collectively lost its mind, has used the suspicions of the pair of Wayne County Republicans as proof of some sort of national conspiracy to defraud President Donald Trump, the rightful heir to the throne, out of office."
Trump called Palmer after she voted to certify Michigan results. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/11/19/wayne-county-rescind-certifying-election/ excerpt: "DETROIT — President Trump called a GOP canvassing board member in Wayne County who announced Wednesday she wanted to rescind her decision to certify the results of the presidential election, the member said in a message to The Washington Post on Thursday. “I did receive a call from President Trump, late Tuesday evening, after the meeting,” Monica Palmer, one of two Republican members of the four-member Wayne County canvassing board, told The Post. “He was checking in to make sure I was safe after hearing the threats and doxing that had occurred.” The call came after an hours-long meeting Tuesday in which the four-member canvassing board voted to certify the results of the Nov. 3 election, a key step toward finalizing President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the state."
Someone is trying to disrupt American democracy. Putin and Trump must want to bring about a collapse of government for some reason?
