Remember when General Flynn was in violation of the Logan act for talking to foreign leaders about policy?
Why is Joe Biden talking to foreign leaders? Shouldn't the FBI investigate?

The Washington Examiner:
GOP Fears Conceding Trump Loss Would Cost Senate
5:18 pm
“Top Republicans in Washington are reluctant to call Joe Biden the president-elect publicly, fearing a rebellion by grassroots conservatives loyal to President Trump that would sink the party’s Senate majority.
“Republican insiders privately concede Biden ousted Trump and dismiss suggestions voter fraud, ballot errors, or other issues would be uncovered sufficient to alter the election. But with the president claiming otherwise and two Georgia runoff elections set for January that will decide the Senate majority, plus midterm elections in 2022, most congressional Republicans are backing Trump. The move is purely transactional.”

“As Americans confront the uncertainty of the next four years, it’s not clear if the tradition of force or of reason is ascendant. Some theorists and philosophers are optimistic, beginning to map out plans to revive social cohesion and common purpose. Others fear that the cleavages will only widen, until Americans reckon with a culture of political warfare that comes ever closer to actual combat.”

Barr Approves Election Probe
7:47 pm
“Attorney General William Barr has authorized federal prosecutors across the U.S. to pursue ‘substantial allegations’ of voting irregularities before the 2020 presidential election is certified, despite little evidence of fraud.
“Barr’s action comes days after Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Trump and raises the prospect that Trump will use the Justice Department to try to challenge the outcome. It gives prosecutors the ability to go around longstanding Justice Department policy that normally would prohibit such overt actions before the election is formally certified.”
Ezra Klein:
Trump Is Attempting a Coup In Plain Sight
7:59 pm
“The Trump administration’s current strategy is to go to court to try and get votes for Biden ruled illegitimate, and that strategy explicitly rests on Trump’s appointees honoring a debt the administration, at least, believes they owe. One of his legal advisers said, ‘We’re waiting for the United States Supreme Court — of which the President has nominated three justices — to step in and do something. And hopefully Amy Coney Barrett will come through.
“If that fails, and it will, Mark Levin, one of the nation’s most popular conservative radio hosts, is explicitly calling on Republican legislatures to reject the election results and seat Donald Trump as president anyway. After Twitter tagged the tweet as contested, Trump’s press secretary weighed in furiously on Levin’s behalf [and got cut off, I believe, even by Fox News for telling lies.]
“That this coup probably will not work
— that it is being carried out farcically, erratically, ineffectively —
does not mean it is not happening, or that it will not have consequences. Millions will believe Trump, will see the election as stolen.”

The coup has just begun!
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr has authorized federal prosecutors across the U.S. to pursue “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities, if they exist, before the 2020 presidential election is certified, despite no evidence of widespread fraud.
Barr’s action comes days after Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump and raises the prospect that Trump will use the Justice Department to try to challenge the outcome. It gives prosecutors the ability to go around longstanding Justice Department policy that normally would prohibit such overt actions before the election is certified.
Trump has not conceded the election and is instead claiming without evidence that there has been a widespread, multi-state conspiracy by Democrats to skew the vote tally in Biden’s favor.
Biden holds a sizable lead in multiple battleground states and there has been no indication of enough improperly counted or illegally cast votes that would shift the outcome. In fact, election officials from both political parties have publicly stated the election went well, though there have been minor issues that are typical in elections, including voting machines breaking and ballots that were miscast and lost.
In a memo to U.S. attorneys, obtained by The Associated Press, Barr wrote that investigations “may be conducted if there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities that, if true, could potentially impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual State.”
He said any allegations that would “clearly not impact the outcome of a federal election” should be delayed until after those elections are certified and prosecutors should likely open so-called preliminary inquiries, which would allow investigators and prosecutors to see if there is evidence that would allow them to take further investigative measures.
Barr does not identify any specific instances of purported fraud in the memo.
“While it is imperative that credible allegations be addressed in a timely and effective manner, it is equally imperative that Department personnel exercise appropriate caution and maintain the Department’s absolute commitment to fairness, neutrality and non-partisanship,” Barr wrote.
I knew this was coming from Barr
They are Traitors

https://www.aol.com/article/news/2020/11/09/michael-cohen-predicts-when-and-how-loser-trump-leaves-the-white-house/24682458/
But critics of Mr. Barr immediately condemned the memo as a political act that undermined the Justice Department’s typical independence from the White House.
“It would be problematic enough if Barr were reversing longstanding Justice Department guidance because of significant, substantiated claims of misconduct — that could presumably be handled at the local and state level,” said Stephen I. Vladeck, a professor at the University of Texas School of Law.
“But to do so when there is no such evidence — and when the president’s clear strategy is to delegitimize the results of a proper election — is one of the more problematic acts of any attorney general in my lifetime,” Mr. Vladeck added.
More covert investigative steps, like an investigator going undercover, are allowed but require the permission of a career prosecutor in the department’s Criminal Division.
Mr. Barr’s memo allows U.S. attorneys to bypass that career prosecutor and take their requests to his office for approval, effectively weakening a key safeguard that prevents political interference in an election by the party in power.
It seems to me that if you read what Barr said more carefully, you will see that he is really protecting himself and the Department by saying that “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities should be pursued, ONLY IF they exist and really are substantial and credible.
In his own words, he says that “While it is imperative that CREDIBLE allegations be addressed in a timely and effective manner, IT IS EQUALLY IMPERATIVE that Department personnel exercise appropriate CAUTION and maintain the Department’s absolute commitment to fairness, neutrality and non-partisanship.”
In other words, Department personnel should not act unless they have extremely good CREDIBLE reasons for doing so.
Those extremely good CREDIBLE reasons do not exist, and Barr and the personnel know it.
I think little or nothing will be done. It's just window dressing for Trump and rabid Republicans.
I am not exaggerating the risk to The United States of America.

Top Justice Department Official Quits
10:06 pm
Attorney General William Barr’s authorization to investigate “specific allegations” of voter fraud prompted the Justice Department official who oversees investigations of voter fraud, Richard Pilger, to step down from the post within hours, the New York Times reports.
So I guess I didn't take it seriously enough.
Here's the story in
NEW YORK TIMES
Barr Hands Prosecutors the Authority to Investigate Voter Fraud Claims
The attorney general said that he had authorized “instances” of investigative steps but that inquiries should not be based on specious claims.
By Katie Benner and Michael S. Schmidt
Nov. 9, 2020
Updated 9:43 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON — Attorney General William P. Barr, wading into President Trump’s unfounded accusations of widespread election irregularities, told federal prosecutors on Monday that they were allowed to investigate “specific allegations” of voter fraud before the results of the presidential race are certified.
Mr. Barr’s authorization prompted the Justice Department official who oversees investigations of voter fraud, Richard Pilger, to step down from the post within hours, according to an email Mr. Pilger sent to colleagues that was obtained by The New York Times.
Mr. Barr said he had authorized “specific instances” of investigative steps in some cases. He made clear in a carefully worded memo that prosecutors had the authority to investigate, but he warned that “specious, speculative, fanciful or far-fetched claims should not be a basis for initiating federal inquiries.”
Mr. Barr’s directive ignored the Justice Department’s longstanding policies intended to keep law enforcement from affecting the outcome of an election. And it followed a move weeks before the election in which the department lifted a prohibition on voter fraud investigations before an election.
“Given that voting in our current elections has now concluded, I authorize you to pursue substantial allegations of voting and vote tabulation irregularities prior to the certification of elections in your jurisdictions,” Mr. Barr wrote.
A Justice Department official said that Mr. Barr had authorized scrutiny of allegations about ineligible voters in Nevada and backdated mail-in ballots Pennsylvania. Republicans have circulated both claims in recent days without any evidence emerging to back them.
Mr. Barr did not write the memo at the direction of Mr. Trump, the White House or any Republican lawmakers, the official said.
Mr. Barr has privately told department officials in the days since the election that any disputes should be resolved in court by the campaigns themselves, according to three people briefed on the conversations. He has said that he did not see massive fraud, and that most of the allegations of voter fraud were related to individual instances that did not point to a larger systemic problem, the people said.
But critics of Mr. Barr immediately condemned the memo as a political act that undermined the Justice Department’s typical independence from the White House.
“It would be problematic enough if Barr were reversing longstanding Justice Department guidance because of significant, substantiated claims of misconduct — that could presumably be handled at the local and state level,” said Stephen I. Vladeck, a professor at the University of Texas School of Law.
“But to do so when there is no such evidence — and when the president’s clear strategy is to delegitimize the results of a proper election — is one of the more problematic acts of any attorney general in my lifetime,” Mr. Vladeck added.
Mr. Pilger, a career prosecutor in the department’s Public Integrity Section who oversaw voting-fraud-related investigations, told colleagues he would move to a nonsupervisory role working on corruption prosecutions.
“Having familiarized myself with the new policy and its ramifications,” he wrote, “I must regretfully resign from my role as director of the Election Crimes Branch.” A Justice Department spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Mr. Pilger’s message.
Justice Department policies prohibit federal prosecutors from taking overt steps, like questioning witnesses or securing subpoenas for documents, to open a criminal investigation into any election-related matter until after voting results have been certified to keep their existence from spilling into public view and influencing either voters or local election officials who ensure the integrity of the results.
“Public knowledge of a criminal investigation could impact the adjudication of election litigation and contests in state courts,” the Justice Department’s longstanding election guidelines for prosecutors say. “Accordingly, it is the general policy of the department not to conduct overt investigations.”
More covert investigative steps, like an investigator going undercover, are allowed but require the permission of a career prosecutor in the department’s Criminal Division.
Mr. Barr’s memo allows U.S. attorneys to bypass that career prosecutor and take their requests to his office for approval, effectively weakening a key safeguard that prevents political interference in an election by the party in power.
The memo is unlikely to change the outcome of the election but could damage public confidence in the results, Justice Department prosecutors warned, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. They said that the public posturing by the department also gave Republicans, including Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, a tool to refuse to acknowledge Mr. Biden as the president-elect.
Mr. McConnell and Mr. Barr met on Monday afternoon. Representatives from both of their offices declined to comment on what they discussed.
Mr. Trump faces a steep battle in his attempt to change the election results. Mr. Biden declared victory on Saturday after several news media organizations declared him the winner based on tabulated election returns.
“It’s not merely about showing evidence of fraud but that the malfeasance would actually affect the outcome in several states,” said Matt Gorman, a Republican strategist. “You’re talking about changing hundreds of thousands of votes.”
While Mr. Trump’s campaign lawyers have filed a dozen or so legal challenges to the results in battleground states, none appeared to be gaining traction in the courts. And none were likely to give the president an edge in the votes he would need to change the outcome of the race.
Justice Department investigators are looking into a referral from the Republican Party in Nevada, which claims over 3,000 people who live outside the state voted in its election, the department official said. The official would not say whether the department had opened a full investigation. A federal judge dismissed the claim in court last week.
The department is also reviewing a sworn affidavit written by a postal worker in Erie, Pa., alleging that post office officials devised a plan to backdate mail ballots in the state, the official said.
The local postmaster has denied the allegations and said that the accuser has been disciplined multiple times in the past. That affidavit was sent to the department by Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who is a close ally of the president.
In the days after the election, Mr. Barr faced pressure from Mr. Trump and his aides to intervene to help the president. Conservative commentators have criticized Mr. Barr’s lack of action, saying that he was looking the other way.
Mr. Barr had been silent about voter fraud in recent weeks after previously issuing unsubstantiated warnings of widespread fraud because of the large number of mail-in ballots cast in this election. Voter fraud is rare, and no major instances of it have emerged in the election.
At the same time, the department has made it easier for prosecutors to pursue voter fraud cases and publicized details from the investigations that generated headlines that helped Mr. Trump, prompting sharp criticism from Democrats and civil rights advocates.
Mr. Pilger, a career prosecutor in the department’s Public Integrity Section who oversaw voting-fraud-related investigations, told colleagues he would move to a nonsupervisory role working on corruption prosecutions.
“Having familiarized myself with the new policy and its ramifications,” he wrote, “I must regretfully resign from my role as director of the Election Crimes Branch.” A Justice Department spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Mr. Pilger’s message.

OMG you are insane
The Washington post
The people said Barr had first broached a similar idea some weeks ago and that political leadership in the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, of which the Election Crimes Branch is a part, pushed back. Those officials were blindsided when Barr’s memo was released on Monday, the people said.
Pilger’s stepping down was first reported by the New York Times. A Justice Department spokeswoman said she had no information on his move.
Pilger announced the move in an email to colleagues, writing, “Having familiarized myself with the new policy and its ramifications . . . I must regretfully resign from my role as Director of the Election Crimes Branch.” In what appeared to be an automated email response, Pilger wrote he was “no longer the Director of the Election Crimes Branch, and have stepped back to the line at the Public Integrity Section.”
People who resign can talk to the press .
Barr was hired by the President to be his personal lawyer, instead of being the Attorney General of the United States and to protect and defend the Constitution.
He's a traitor and should be jailed for life.
The head of the branch of the Justice Department that prosecutes election crimes resigned Monday hours after Attorney General William Barr issued a memo to federal prosecutors to investigate “specific allegations” of voter fraud before the results of the presidential race are certified.
Richard Pilger, who was director of the Election Crimes Branch of the DOJ, sent a memo to colleagues that suggested his resignation was linked to Barr’s memo, which was issued as the president’s legal team mount baseless legal challenges to the election results, alleging widespread voter fraud cost him the race.
Earlier on Monday, Trump's campaign filed a lawsuit to block Pennsylvania officials from certifying Biden's victory in the battleground state.
It alleged the state's mail-in voting system violated the U.S. Constitution by creating "an illegal two-tiered voting system" where voting in person was subject to more oversight than voting by mail.
It was filed against Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar and the boards of elections in Democratic-leaning counties that include Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Boockvar's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Trump campaign has filed several lawsuits since claiming the election results were flawed. Judges have tossed out lawsuits in Michigan and Georgia, and experts say Trump's legal efforts have little chance of changing the election result.
If he overturns Pennsylvania, Biden will not be the President elect
He was the lawyer who was supposed to conduct the investigation into voting fraud. He resigned because he was appalled by Barr.
Richard Pilger, director of the elections crimes branch in the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, told colleagues in an email that the attorney general was issuing "an important new policy abrogating the forty-year-old Non-Interference Policy for ballot fraud investigations in the period prior to elections becoming certified and uncontested." Pilger also forwarded the memo to colleagues in his resignation letter.

Attorney General William Barr on Monday gave federal prosecutors the green light to pursue "substantial allegations" of voting irregularities before the 2020 presidential election is certified next month, even though little evidence of fraud has been put forth.

Dead voters. Biden van full of ballots. Trump legal team details shock Nevada claims
Laxalt identified several complaints about the more than 600,000 mail-in votes cast in Nevada. Laxalt said about 200,000 of those were verified through a machine, and never by a human. He also charged that Clark County registrar of voters Joe Gloria set the factory setting on the machine to accept signatures with an only 40% match.
A federal judge on Friday blocked a Trump campaign attempt to stop the use of the machine that validated voter signatures on mail-in ballots.
Another 400,000 of those mail ballot signatures were verified by hand, but Laxalt said that the campaign is not able to view those.
"I am positive, if you all got to see those," Laxalt said, "you're going to see countless mismatches."
[...]
He noted two reports the Republican Party received of deceased people who "miraculously" cast ballots in the general election: Rosemarie Hartle and Fred Sokes Jr., both of whom died in 2017.
A woman who said she was a family friend of Hartle, Marianne Rombola, spoke out about the fraudulent vote.
"It is heartbreaking what is happening in America, and for this family to be exploited, or anybody who has faced a tragedy in losing somebody and their vote has been counted as a person — this is just not America," Rombola said. "These things need to be heard and taken care of."
Schlapp mentioned one whistleblower who worked in a ballot counting center and signed an affidavit alleging that a supervisor instructed the person to process mail-in ballots despite concerns about whether the signature matched the name on the envelope.
Schlapp said that another whistleblower from a ballot counting center, while taking a walk around the counting center on his lunch hour, “noticed a van pulled up at the center marked Biden-Harris.”
“The doors of the van were open, ballots were clearly visible, ballots were open with letter openers, and ballots were filled in and resealed in envelopes,” Schlapp said. “These people who were involved in this activity then decided to create a human shield around what they were doing in the van.”
Schlapp said that at least 9,000 people who moved out of state voted in Nevada’s election. Trump’s campaign previously sent to the Justice Department a list of more than 3,000 Nevada voters who, according to a national change of address database, no longer live in the state. Only an estimated third of people update their address in the database, so triple the number of voters on that list comes to about 9,000.

oh, and this pilger clown? a real shitstain...
Pilger felt few such qualms in 2010, when he pursued the theory that conservative groups could be prosecuted for misleading the IRS about their political activities. In an email included in a subsequent Senate report, Pilger wass described as prodding then-IRS Exempt Organizations director Lois Lerner about the idea, raised by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI):
[Pilger] wanted to know who at IRS the DOJ folks could talk to about Sen. Whitehouse [sic] idea at the hearing that DOJ could piece together false statement cases about applicants who “lied” on their 1024s–saying they weren’t planning on doing political activity, and then turning around and making large visible political expenditures. DOJ is feeling like it needs to respond, but want to talk to the right folks at IRS to see whether there are impediments from our side and what, if any damage this might do to IRS programs.
As the Wall Street Journal later noted:
Mr. Pilger was also a foot on the gas pedal during the IRS’s increased screening of conservative 501(c) groups. In 2010 he reached out to then IRS tax-exempt chief Lois Lerner about prosecuting nonprofits that engaged in political activity for making false statements on their tax returns. In an October 2010 email exchange, Ms. Lerner and Mr. Pilger discussed the transfer of data on 501(c) organizations. The Justice Department ended up with a database of 1.1 million documents, including protected taxpayer information.
Pilger’s resignation was described by the Times as a principled stand by a career official.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton today announced Friday that Kelly Reagan Brunner, a social worker in the Mexia State Supported Living Center has been charged with 134 felony counts of purportedly acting as an agent and of election fraud.
Brunner now faces up to 10 years in prison for these offenses if convicted.
Paxton said in a statement “I strongly commend the Limestone County District Attorney’s Office, Sheriff’s Office, and Elections Office, as well as the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General for their outstanding work on this case and their commitment to ensuring a free and fair presidential election…”
He added “Registering citizens to vote or to obtain mail ballots without their consent is illegal. It is particularly offensive when individuals purport to be champions for disability rights, when in reality they are abusing our most vulnerable citizens in order to gain access to their ballots and amplify their own political voice. My office is prepared to assist any Texas county in combating this insidious form of fraud.”
Per KXXV “Brunner is accused of submitting voter registration applications for 67 residents without their signature or effective consent, while purporting to act as their agent.
Under Texas law, only a parent, spouse or child who is a qualified voter of the county may act as an agent in registering a person to vote, after being appointed to do so by that person.”

When Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed two people and seriously wounded another man in August during racial justice protests in Kenosha, Wis., he used an assault rifle a friend had bought for him. At 17 years old, Rittenhouse was too young to have legally bought the Smith & Wesson M&P-15 rifle himself.
Follow the latest on Election 2020
Prosecutors have now charged that friend, 19-year-old Dominick David Black, with two felony counts of intentionally selling a gun to a minor. Black made his first court appearance on Monday in the Kenosha County Circuit Court.
Authorities say Black bought the rifle in April for Rittenhouse, who then allegedly used the gun on Aug. 25 to shoot and kill Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and to seriously injure Gaige Grosskreutz, 26,

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel sent a ‘cease and desist’ letter to Big League Politics about their exclusive content #DetroitLeaks that outlined poll worker training wherein workers were bragging about committing voter fraud in a variety of different ways.
The intrepid reporter who broke this story, Shane Trejo, was also one who was a witness for the voter fraud in Detroit. Trejo says he considers this “witness intimidation” and is fearful that it will be used as pretext for some criminal actions.
In the shocking letter dated Oct. 28, the Michigan Attorney General cites to two or three factual errors in the bulk of Trejo’s reporting and demands on behalf of the Michigan government to take every single article related to #DetroitLeaks off the internet.
The #DetroitLeaks reporting shows Detroit poll workers who were trained in how to lie, trained on how to handle ballot challenges from Trump supporters, told to call 911 on any challengers and to use COVID as an excuse to deny poll challengers access to view the ballots as they were being counted and tabulated.
The series of leaks also revealed that even challenged ballots would be processed as regular ballots. Incoming State Representative Steve Carra and Michigan activist Bob Cushman filed a successful lawsuit against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over the explosive allegations that poll workers were being trained in how to commit voter fraud.

and the media felt compelled to LIE about the Pfizer vaccine and Operation Warp Speed:
There are a few things here that are absolutely shameful. First is that so many news outlets thought the big news here was not that we were nearing a effective vaccine, but that Donald Trump must get no credit for it. But hey, that’s just par for the course right?
What is even worse is that a ten-second Google search would have shown that Pfizer was a part of Operation Warp Speed. Hell, even the Wikipedia page shows that Pfizer was a part of Operation Warp Speed. For all of its thousands of employees and giant building on 42nd street, the New York Times couldn’t find what I found while smoking a cigarette in my backyard by looking at my phone?
This is what the corporate news media does now. They lie, or at least fail to do anything resembling due diligence as long as what they are reporting hurts Donald Trump and then they clarify. That is not responsible journalism. There is no doubt that millions of people will continue to believe this lie that was corrected in under in less than two hours. As the old saying goes, lies travel the globe before the truth can get its pants on.
Make no mistake this vaccine and others, as well as therapeutics, are deeply tied to the president’s efforts on Operation Warp Speed. It doesn’t matter how much anybody hates Donald Trump, the truth is the truth.

BWAA,
try and wrap your golden corral gravy-soaked brain around the very real prospect that Pfizer WAS officially part of Warp Speed while taking NO federal monies.
you're talking about a company with a current market cap of $217.89 BILLION. you can rest assured that they stand to MAKE money on the vaccine. above and beyond their growth in stock price and subsequent market cap from the vaccine announcement itself.
you and the alky possess the critical thinking skills of a fucking potted plant.

that's nice, alky.
is it TV time at the home?
President Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. claimed on Monday that Pfizer deliberately waited until after the US election to announce the promising early results from its COVID-19 vaccine's late-stage clinical trial.
They offered no evidence for their claims.
Pfizer on Monday said its experimental coronavirus vaccine had succeeded in the final stage of clinical trials: The shot was found to be more than 90% effective in preventing COVID-19, the company said, a milestone in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
Both Trump and his son took to Twitter to speculate about the timing of Pfizer's announcement, made six days after Election Day.

it's a question that any rational, clear thinking person would ask.
and the hoseshit throw-away line "They offered no evidence for their claims." is tedious, and only serves as cover for corrupt cowards."
for 3 fucking years you assfucks had ZERO evidence Trump "colluded" (LOL) with russia, russia, russia, but you beat that dead horse anyway, long after it was discovered who REALLY paid for and perpetuated that false charge.
in other words alky, you have no standing to sling that phrase around here.
you are a coward, a liar, and a fraud.
and also someone stupid enough to continue to tweet our host long after he's blocked your psycho ass.
Talk it out with Business Insider, a non partisan website.
You depend on right wing nutcase websites and the President's Twitter tirades, that have been blocked for posting dangerous links and lies.
You should take anger management sessions.
While the US government did place a large order over the summer for Pfizer's vaccine, the company was never part of Operation Warp Speed, the government's initiative to accelerate the development and distribution of a vaccine, and Pfizer said it had never taken any money from the US government to aid its research.

Jimmy Hitler copied and pasted from right wing nutcase websites, and then attacked me for providing credible evidence for business insider and CNN
The social media era has turned nutjobs like him insane!
I never thought I'd quote Erick Erickson. Usually, he's full of rightwing BS.
But he spells out the situation better than I can, so here goes:
"A lot of people screaming about vote fraud don't really understand what they are talking about. As someone who actually defended elections (and challenged them) based on vote fraud, let me explain how daunting it is to throw out a statewide election on vote fraud.
First, vote fraud happens. It happens in almost every election. But it is rarely enough to throw out even local races. But let's take Trump v. Biden in Michigan.
Right now in Michigan, Joe Biden leads Donald Trump by 146,137 votes. If Republicans find 50,000 fraudulent votes in Michigan, Joe Biden would still lead by 96,137 votes. But wait, there's more…
37,706 people chose not to participate in the presidential election in Michigan, so the President's lawyers have to either find 146,137 votes that they are 100% sure were cast fraudulently in the presidential race or they have to find
183,843 fraudulent total votes because you aren't allowed to ask anyone how they voted. And that's just Michigan. If they proved that, then they'd subtract 16 electoral votes from Joe Biden. Assuming Biden has Georgia, he's still over 270. So now rinse and repeat for PA.
The President's team can't just throw out the votes in one states, but must do the same thing in each state over 270 electoral college votes.
It is not enough to show voter fraud. The standard is voter fraud to an extent that casts doubt on the election. That standard means the margin of the vote if proven specifically or the margin of the vote + margin of votes not cast in that race. It is very tough.
Absolutely, we are going to find voter fraud. It happens every election. The question is how much and I've never seen voter fraud in the hundred thousand vote range. Hell, I've never seen it in the 10s of thousands vote range.
All of that is to say Joe Biden is President-Elect of the United States and it is not going to change."

Operation warp speed was not only research money. It is also lining up a hundred million doses, purchasing them for $2B and distributing them. All the big pharm companies are part of this.

masks work.
double masks work doubly goodly:
The Adirondack Daily Enterprise, a daily newspaper that is based in Saranac Lake, is reporting that one of its reporters had COVID-19 when they were interviewing people at the polls on Election Day.
The newspaper said in a story published Tuesday that the reporter did not know they were at risk until a friend they had hung out with contacted them late last Tuesday to tell them they had tested positive. A later test confirmed the reporter also contracted the disease.
"The reporter was double-masked, wearing a surgical mask underneath a bandanna," the Daily Enterprise said. "Nevertheless, the Enterprise recommends that anyone who interacted in person with this reporter at these polling places on Nov. 3 be tested for COVID-19."

The Trump campaign and its allies unveiled a new tactic to contest election vote counts, suing to stop state officials from finalizing results due to fraud allegations in Michigan and limits imposed on poll observers in Pennsylvania.
Judges likely would be reluctant to take the rare step of blocking final vote counts without seeing substantial evidence of fraud or irregularities widespread enough to change the election, legal analysts said.
President-elect Joe Biden was declared the winner by the Associated Press in Michigan and Pennsylvania by margins that election-law experts say would be difficult to overcome in court. In Michigan, Mr. Biden’s lead was 146,000 votes with 99% counted, and in Pennsylvania it was over 45,000 votes with 99% counted.
The Trump campaign filed a federal lawsuit in Pennsylvania, and a conservative legal group said it filed a state lawsuit in Michigan, calling on judges to block state officials from certifying the election results.
The Trump campaign’s Pennsylvania lawsuit alleges that poll observers were kept too far away from vote counters, and that voters in Republican- and Democratic-majority counties received different treatment during the election, in potential violation of the Constitution. The suit asks a judge to require Pennsylvania officials to invalidate ballots in cases where voters were notified and allowed to fix problems.
Philadelphia election officials said they had set up an area where candidates and party representatives could view the room without impeding the vote-processing operation. State election officials have said they followed all laws.
Jimmy Hitler and ballsless refuse to believe the Wall Street Journal, because they tell the truth!

WASHINGTON — As President Donald Trump continues to fight the presidential election results, numerous people close to him are expressing concern that he's spiraling into rage and hurting his own legacy, as well as the Republican Party.
Those concerns were exacerbated Monday when Trump blindsided officials throughout the White House and at the Pentagon by firing Defense Secretary Mark Esper with a tweet, multiple people close to the president said. The hope, these people said, is that this week ends differently from the last and that the president's lawsuits challenging the election results in multiple states quickly run their course.
The moment is particularly perilous, even for a White House that has powered through on chaos for nearly four years, with all the uncertainty unfolding against the backdrop of a new coronavirus outbreak among the president's closest advisers — including his chief of staff and the top lawyer on his campaign legal team.
"There needs to be a candid conversation with the president. There is no path to victory," said a person close to Trump, who said Trump "deserves his day in court" but added that continuing to cast doubt on the election results "destroys his legacy."
"It distracts from the legacy he has to be proud of and marginalizes him," this person said. "It does not behoove him to drag this out much further."
Another Trump ally described the goal of the lawsuits and public statements alleging voter fraud as "branding Trump as something other than a loser."
He's a loser of epic proportions.

“Even if he loses the election, Trump will remain president until noon on January 20, 2021. He can try to stay in power lots of ways during that interval, even though no previous president has defied the wishes of the voters.14 He could call his attorney general, William Barr, on November 4 and have him order federal attorneys in every state which the Democrats won to contest the election results in the courts. The states must by law resolve any controversies over appointment of electors by December 8, 2020. If recounts are underway in states the Democrats narrowly won, and Trump is ahead when the counting ends on December 8, the state’s electoral votes could be awarded to him. George W. Bush won the election in 2000 because the Supreme Court held, 5–4, that this requirement had to be met, so the Florida recount was halted with many votes left to be examined. There are yet further opportunities for “putting a thumb on the scale” in later activities of the bizarre Electoral College system, and you can bet that “fixer” Trump has dozens of sycophants burrowing through the rules and procedures searching for ways to subvert them.”
“Trump, like many deposed demagogues before him, may well use his supporters’ willingness to die for him to bargain an escape from ever standing trial. He would in effect be saying to his successor, “Don’t you dare try to punish me for breaking the law. I will ignite a civil war and ruin the country if you do.” This is how authoritarians usually try to escape when the jig is up. It is all about them to the last minute. But Trump faces more than potential federal charges, for we know he is an unindicted co-conspirator in New York, in the case that sent Michael Cohen to prison. Maybe he will go to Russia, where Putin will refuse to extradite him back to New York. Or he might just boldly assert he has the right as president to stay in office “until the whole mess is cleared up” and see who dares oppose him. Donald Trump has probably developed one key insight during his first term as president: He can get away with almost anything. His base is massive and remarkably cohesive. They will believe and do almost anything he wishes. So too will almost all the Republicans in Congress, on almost all issues.”

Even before Biden is sworn in, his party is rejecting him.
