    Trump loses in court again.

    At the Thanksgiving Day briefing, Trump talked like he was making great progress in the courts and state legislatures.



    Trump loses appeal of Pennsylvania election case

    Trump loses appeal of Pennsylvania election case

    excerpt:

    "A federal appeals court on Friday rejected an attempt from President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign to keep alive its effort to undo the result of Pennsylvania’s presidential election.

    A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit wrote in a blistering opinion that the Trump campaign’s “claims have no merit.”

    The appellate court’s decision affirmed a federal judge’s ruling from a week earlier, which denied the Trump campaign’s request to block the Keystone State from certifying that President-elect Joe Biden won its election."

    You know, all this talk about matching signatures is ridiculous to me, only because I have about 5 different ways I sign my name- at LEAST 5. It’s signed...it’s done....

    Trump is still talking as if he ran against Obama in 2020.

    Trump apparently thinks Biden doing better in some states than Obama did in 2008 an 2012 is proof of voter fraud that helped Biden.

    Trump should tell it to the judge.


    Trump remarks at Thanksgiving Day briefing:


    "Biden beat Obama in states he shouldn't have."

    “We’re like a third world country."

    "The election is not over."

    “This election was a fraud”

    "People don't know what a poll watcher is."

    "Facts are on our side."

    The correspondent Trump lashed at was Jeff Mason of Reuters.



    Trump snaps at Reuters reporter for asking about conceding election

    excerpt:

    "Trump has previously clashed with Mason, a former president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, in several exchanges throughout his presidency. Trump mocked Mason in September when the reporter refused to take off his mask while asking the president a question.

    He also argued with Mason last year during a press conference with Finland's President Sauli Niinistö when Mason pressed Trump on his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the call that launched his impeachment."

    Trump is still ranting the day after Thanksgiving about the election

    He is demanding that Biden prove his innocence.

    The burden of proof is on Trump if he thinks the election was rigged.


    Trump:

    “Biden can only enter the White House as President if he can prove that his ridiculous ‘80,000,000 votes’ were not fraudulently or illegally obtained.”

    Trump plans to do a rally in Georgia on Dec. 5 to promote the two Republican U.S. Senate candidates.

    Trump has to do a tightrope act of claiming that his victory was stolen from him while telling Republican voters to confidently vote for two candidates in Georgia whose election system he says has widespread fraud.



    Trump's baseless claims of Georgia voter fraud spark fears among Republicans

    excerpt:

    "In particular Trump’s comments have spurred conspiracy theories that the state’s electoral system is rigged and prompted some of his supporters to make calls for a boycott of the coming vote – something that local Georgia Republicans desperately do not want. “His demonization of Georgia’s entire electoral system is hurting his party’s chances at keeping the Senate,” warned an article published by Politico.

    Even Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr, has jumped into the fray, tweeting: “I’m seeing a lot of talk from people that are supposed to be on our side telling GOP voters not to go out & vote.. That is NONSENSE. IGNORE those people.”

    The president has also pledged to visit Georgia to hold rallies in support of the two Republican candidates, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. The first of those events is expected to be on Saturday 5 December and could be a double-edged sword. Trump is still a powerful force with a loyal following whose endorsement is a key mobilizing tool for the race. On the other hand, in freewheeling his rallies, Trump may spout conspiracy theories that undermine their campaigns."

    Powell accused Trump ally Brian Kemp of taking bribes to alter Dominion machines in favor of Biden..

    That type of truther narrative is extra fringe.



    Sidney Powell Goes After Brian Kemp Over Election Conspiracy

    excerpt:

    "Powell appeared on Newsmax last night, continuing to claim she has evidence that will blow this whole thing wide open, and again going after Tucker Carlson — who said he asked Powell for evidence and was rejected.

    At one point, as she continued pushing the claim about the Dominion machines, she said “thousands” of people are probably complicit in this.

    She went on to say that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp — a Republican — certifying that state’s results is a “total farce” and claimed, “Georgia’s probably going to be the first state I’m going to blow up.”

    And then she accused Kemp of being complicit, even suggesting he was bribed:"

    Trump has said nothing about the 270,000 Americans who have died of the coronavirus.

    He could have used Thanksgiving to pay condolences and encourage people to abide by virus safety guidelines.

    Instead, Trump did an election fraud rant and his administration encouraged people to gather at homes and churches for Thanksgiving.

    Same thing happened to a relative. The ballot had her first, middle, and last names on it. When she signed it she left off her middle name, and just wrote her middle initial. I called the election board and they said it was ok.

    Like I said, upthread, trump doesn’t get that most people don’t like him. I’ve even heard trump supporters say don’t like him as a person, but. . . . . . .

    Congress is away on vacation and Trump is whining about losing the election.

    Meanwhile, millions of Americans are going to lose unemployment benefits and the eviction moratorium will end in late December if Congress doesn't act.



    2 million Americans set to lose unemployment benefits by year’s end

    12 million Americans set to lose unemployment benefits by year's end

    excerpt:

    "About 12 million workers will lose unemployment benefits in December when CARES Act provisions lapse, absent an extension, according to a new analysis.

    They’ll be without any relief, leaving them financially vulnerable at a time when Covid-19 infections are rising and pushing officials to reimpose shutdowns.

    Federal eviction and student loan protections are also scheduled to end after December."

    Trump tweet praising Brad Raffensperger in 2018:

    "Brad Raffensperger will be a fantastic Secretary of State for Georgia - will work closely with @BrianKempGA. It is really important that you get out and vote for Brad - early voting....
    3:20 PM · Nov 26, 2018"

    Trump even praised early voting for Raffensperger, an approach he is now chastising because he lost the 2020 election. Trump is now calling Raffensperger an enemy of the people.

    Trump is leveling accusations about ballot harvesting.


    Trump calls Ga. Secretary of State "Enemy of the People"

    excerpt:

    ""I read this morning, where Stacey Abrams has 850,000 ballots accumulated," Trump said. "Now that's called harvesting. You're not allowed to harvest."

    Abrams hasn't said anything about harvesting ballots. She has repeatedly touted on Twitter how many Georgians have requested ballots for the January 5th Senate runoff. Each tweet is accompanied by links to the Secretary of State's office for citizens to request their ballots."

    Trump hasn't explained why he thinks Abrams is harvesting ballots. Harvesting is the act of a third party collecting ballots from voters and depositing them appropriately.

    Abrams is encouraging people to apply for ballots. She isn't collecting ballots.

    Trump apparently thinks the number on her Twitter page is ballots that she has collected from voters.
