These are some (but not all) of the states have have statewide mask mandates. Almost none of the 50 states are "mandate free" as many states are still leaving it up to the local municipalities to make their own decisions. In some states, only the larger cities (where the virus is more common) are you seeing mandates, but mandates do exist.
But one might believe that if a mask mandate was the solution to our problem, then we would see the fruits of those efforts with a consistently low infection rate?
Why would Maine (for instance) have a mandate that is providing a sparse rate of infection of 14.1/100,000? Whereas Minnesota, where masks are mandated everywhere in public that you cannot social distance and completely mandated while indoors in any public area, we have a rate of infection right now of 120/100,000.
Same exact mask mandate, but a infection rate that is 8.5 times higher than Maine.
What I can tell you is that Minnesotans are following the mandate. The bar and restaurant scene is scarce, people I know are not planning holiday get-togethers (my family is scheduling a Thanksgiving Zoom meeting). Nothing has changed in how we are behaving, other than being more vigilant over the past few weeks. But yet, our rates continue to grow almost exponentially as the virus is now making it's way into the upper midwest and great lakes area.
In fact, in recent days we have passed up several states (such as Nebraska and Wisconsin) which have lesser degrees of regulation and mandates.
There is no logical conclusion here to draw other than the virus is spreading in a manner not consistent with which states are mandating mask wearing and which states are not. It appears to be moving by region (and has since ever since it started in March). If mask mandates were the silver bullet here, then the mandates would be reducing the rates of infection everywhere that people are following them.
But when the same solution to a particular problem creates a variety of results that are off in some cases by a factor of 8.5 - then it would appear fairly apparent that it is not a solution that is working.
Now I am not telling people that we "should not" be wearing masks. Perhaps if they only help by that 0.3% that the Danish study suggests, that it may still be worth it. What I am telling people is that you cannot blame 120/100,000 infection rate in Minnesota on the bad orange man or a lack of policy or effort.
The policy is embedded here in Minnesota and has been followed for months. We have a 120/100,000 rate of infection. The fifth highest rate in the country. Draw your own conclusion.

Mask mandates. So boring. The next thread down is where the action is.
History will be clear.
Trump is the first president we have ever had who actively tried to steal an election, and yet Ch wants to discuss mask mandates.

States Imposing Few Restrictions Have Worst Outbreaks
10:26 am
“Coronavirus cases are rising in almost every U.S. state. But the surge is worst now in places where leaders neglected to keep up forceful virus containment efforts or failed to implement basic measures like mask mandates in the first place,” the New York Times reports.
...the New York Times reports.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
I just heard this on our local public radio station:
It was reported that in the rural parts of in our county, McLean, IL, the covid infection rates have surpassed the rate in our metropolitan Bloomingon-Normal cities (pop. 173,828).
That is surely because more people in the rural areas have disdained wearing masks, etc.
Bwaaaa right back atcha.
here is no logical conclusion here to draw other than the virus is spreading in a manner not consistent with which states
Sad lil schitty is that the answer is right in front of your blind eyes!!!!! The virus is spread because people are being stupid by congregating and not wearing masks and not being cautious!!!!! Funny it seems the deepest red states, the ones were many trumpists still think covid is a hoax and just the flu!!!!You and your kind do not help by spreading lies about masks not working and just plain lying..... It is not fake, people are dying from being stupid....just like you!!!!
Scott, your obsession with masking is kind of weird.
The liberal bastion of mandates and restrictions of deep blue Minnesota reported 7863 cases today and 72 deaths today.
Of course 70% of these are over the age of 70 and a similar amount will have come from long term care facilities... but who is keeping track of that anymore.
Our deep blue state is currently in the top 5 for highest rate of infection and will likely be shooting up the charts in other statistics (as things simply do not get any better).
Our rate of change in new cases (24.4%) is considerably higher than our neighbors to the west (Dakotas - 17%) south (Iowa - 15%) and east (Wisconsin - 16%) - meaning it's likely to get worse....
and we have the strictest mandates in the region!
How can that be?
We need two things.

Now they want you to wear a mask in your home. Cancel travel for Thanksgiving with Family and friends. Coward.
On this day in history.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) according to Fatty is a Fake Source.
They were founded
August 10, 1948.
Why did huge numbers of people in the USA move to the suburbs after WWII? During the 1920s and early 1930s people either lived in rural areas or in the center city. Most of today’s suburbs were farmland during the 1940s. Suddenly after WWII, suburbs began a dramatic growth. The surge was so explosive that when the USA did the 1950 census it began classifying urban people a new way. Each person was classified as living either inside the central city or outside the central city. In 1950 the breakdown was 60% living in the central city and 40% living in the suburbs. By 1980 the percentages reversed with 40% living in the central city and 60% living in the suburbs.
Understanding why people began moving to the suburbs is important. The migration had a huge impact on U.S. energy use (suburban living encourages driving; urban living encourages walking) and schooling (suburban schools are often superior to urban schools). Understanding the movement also helps answer if governments should try to rebuild or simply raze problematic inner cities like Detroit or Buffalo.
Nothing to do with your source....has everything to with you being a dumb fuck!!!!!!

it's not just the kung flu, though that has been a catalyst for many people who were on the edge.

Doctors Say Man Who Died After Falling off 10-Foot Ladder Actually Killed by COVID
Academics at the University of Zagreb said the Covid-induced illness had caused his fall, which they argued meant the death must be recorded as a Covid-19 fatality under World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.
The scientists said the evidence ‘unequivocally’ led to Covid-19 being to blame for the death — but they did not specify how.

in other news, walt disney announced today that mickey mouse just spoke in favor of donald duck.
A construction worker who died after plunging from a 10-foot ladder in Croatia was actually killed by the coronavirus, doctors said in a report.
The unnamed 51-year-old man fell into a yard while building a home earlier this year and suffered cuts and bruises to his head, according to the Journal of Forensic Pathology.
The builder was declared dead at the scene, but an autopsy later revealed that COVID-19 had indirectly caused the accident because effects of the illness were disorienting, the journal notes.
During the autopsy, doctors found that large swaths of the man’s lungs were blocked. The finding led scientists to conclude that he suffered from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) — a life-threatening condition that can be caused by COVID-19.
“Based on all findings, the death was ruled as natural, caused by COVID-19,” the report notes. The man also tested positive for the virus.
Doctors later determined that the illness, which keeps air from flowing to the lungs, had likely caused his fall, according to the journal. Ultimately, the death must be recorded as a COVID-19 fatality under World Health Organization guidelines, scientists said.

The wannabe dictator is not going to overthrow the United States of America because even some Republicans are real patriots
DETROIT — President Trump has invited the leaders of Michigan’s Republican-controlled state legislature to meet him in Washington on Friday, according to a person familiar with those plans, as the president and his allies continue an extraordinary campaign to overturn the results of an election he lost.
Trump’s campaign has suffered defeats in courtrooms across the country in its efforts to allege irregularities with the ballot-counting process, and has failed to muster any evidence of the widespread fraud that the president continues to claim tainted the 2020 election.
Trump lost Michigan by a wide margin: At present, he trails President-Elect Joe Biden in the state by 157,000 votes. Earlier this week, the state’s Republican Senate majority leader said an effort to have legislators throw out election results was “not going to happen.”
We are in a war against the pandemic and he is attempting to have a coup!
masks work... to pollute the hell out of SF Bay -
The Bay Area’s first rain of the season is washing away worries of wildfire and drought. But it’s also bringing a new concern: gobs of face masks flooding San Francisco Bay.
Early season storms typically sweep a slurry of debris from streets and sidewalks into rivers, creeks and bays. This year, the fall flush not only contains the usual gunk, waste experts say, but a whole lot of discarded PPE — or personal protective equipment, the detritus of the pandemic.
This influx of safety scraps into waterways is tough to quantify. However, the California Coastal Commission offered at least some idea of the volume: The agency said there was so much PPE during this year’s September volunteer coastal cleanup and inventory that it had to create a new category for masks and gloves. The items ranked between plastic cups and beverage lids on the list of the top 15 types of litter.
https://www.sfchronicle.com/environment/article/First-rain-of-season-unveils-a-new-pollution-15738004.php
oh well, with their streets slathered in human shit, who cares about the bay choked up with PPE debris?

Pennsylvania's Supreme Court on Tuesday reversed a court order that required Philadelphia election officials to let observers within six feet of vote counters after the Trump campaign alleged observers were being kept too far away at 15 to 18 feet. The state's high court, in a 5-2 decision (two of the justices preferred to rule it as moot), said Pennsylvania law gives Philadelphia officials a lot of leeway to decide the rules for observers.
Plus, even the two conservative justices who dissented acknowledged that the Trump campaign's argument that legitimate votes should be invalidated because of improper observation practices was "misguided," The Guardian reports.
I believe the only person who actually mentioned the name Trump during that entire briefing was Pence.

Trump’s Election Lawsuits Plagued by Elementary Errors
4:10 pm
Associated Press: “Fighting to challenge an election he lost to President-elect Joe Biden, Trump has launched a barrage of lawsuits across the country. Top Republicans have stood behind him and said they will wait for those cases to be resolved before officially recognizing the winner, a standard that has no modern precedent.
“But his attorneys have repeatedly made elementary errors in those high-profile cases: misspelling ‘poll watcher’ as ‘pole watcher,’ forgetting the name of the presiding judge during a hearing, inadvertently filing a Michigan lawsuit before an obscure court in Washington and having to refile complaints after erasing entire arguments they’re using to challenge results.”

Trump Now Actively Trying to Subvert [STEAL] Election
4:05 pm
“President Trump’s strategy for retaining power despite losing the U.S. election is focused increasingly on persuading Republican legislators to intervene on his behalf in battleground states Democrat Joe Biden won,” Reuters reports.
“Having so far faced a string of losses in legal cases challenging the Nov. 3 results, Trump’s lawyers are seeking to enlist fellow Republicans who control legislatures in Michigan and Pennsylvania, which went for Trump in 2016 and for Biden in 2020.”

New York Times: “A key part of the G.O.P. strategy has been to delay certification processes in battleground states that Mr. Biden won, in the hopes that, if state officials miss their deadlines, legislators will subvert the popular vote and appoint pro-Trump slates to the Electoral College. But that’s extremely unlikely to happen.”
“Here’s a breakdown of the certification deadlines and other key dates in battleground states, and what will happen between now and Inauguration Day.” (at politicalwire.com)

What I said about the flight to the suburbs has been going on since the 1950's you stupid fucker......you cannot dispute that!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Then why the worry about in town neighborhoods being gentrified, you stupid fat fuck?
QUESTION: Why was the task force briefing that just concluded for the most part helpful and informative?
ANSWER: Trump was not there to lie.
At an excellent press conference today, President Elect Joe Biden and Vice President Elect Kamala Harris spoke impressively, with Biden calling Trump's invitation to Michigan legislators 'irresponsible.'
________
USA TODAY'S coverage of the 2020 election continues this week as states prepare to finish certifying their vote counts after President-elect Joe Biden's victory in the hard-fought presidential race. President Donald Trump has yet to concede the race as Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris prepare to take office in January.
President-elect Joe Biden says he has chosen a Treasury nominee who will please both progressives and moderates, and more personnel announcements are expected during the next week.
"I’ve made that decision," he told reporters after a meeting with governors. "You’ll hear that just before or just after Thanksgiving.”
______
Ron Klain, Biden’s choice to become White House chief of staff, told CNN that two dozen White House officials would be named this month, with Cabinet members announced around Thanksgiving. Biden named Klain last week and nine officials this week.
“He is hard at work on this, he is talking to people every day, he is consulting broadly,” Klain said. “As he said, you’ll start to see at least one, if not more, of these Cabinet announcements right before or right after Thanksgiving.”
Senate confirmation for Cabinet nominees requires FBI background investigations, which can’t proceed until the General Services Administration recognizes Biden as the president-elect.
“This is a block not just to our transition, but to the Senate doing its constitutional duty as well,” Klain said.
__________
In his press conference today President-elect Joe Biden said President Donald Trump’s inviting Michigan officials to the White House to discuss election results in the state that Biden won is “irresponsible” and “outrageous.”
“What the president is doing now is really -- it’s going to be another incident where he will go down in history as being one of the most irresponsible presidents in American history,” Biden said. “It’s not even within the norm at all. There are questions about whether it’s even legal.
“We’ve won Michigan,” Biden said. “It’s going to be certified.”
'Hand in glove': Biden promises governors coordination in combatting coronavirus
Biden said he couldn’t speak about Trump’s motivation.
“It’s hard to fathom how this man thinks,” Biden said. “It’s just outrageous what he’s doing.”
Kamala Harris also spoke. At the end of the conference, both took questions.
THEY DID NOT BEAT A HASTY RETREAT.

Are all the elderly here this unhinged and incapable of coherency?
Alky, your Socialist State is going to enforce a curfew, don't that will affect you in The Home.
🖕🤡Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered a curfew for all California counties in the purple tier amid climbing coronavirus cases. The curfew will affect 41 of the state's 58 counties -- and more than 94 percent of the state's population.
The curfew, which the state is calling a "limited Stay at Home Order," stops short of a full lockdown. It will be in effect from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. starting Saturday. The restrictions between those hours will be similar to the stay-at-home order that was in effect in March. That means all non-essential work, movement and gatherings will have to stop in all purple tier counties."
The servants of .CA. must obey.
On Twitter I saw Indy and said that CH has lost his mind. He said five years ago!
s, the Smartmatic technology software, and the software that goes in other computerized voting systems here as well, not just Dominion, were created in Venezuela at the direction of Hugo Chavez to make sure he never lost an election after one constitutional referendum came out the way he did not want it to come out.”
THE FACTS: No, Dominion does not have any ties to Venezuela, nor does it have a partnership with Smartmatic, according to Eddie Perez, a voting technology expert at the OSET Institute, a nonpartisan election technology research and development nonprofit.
Smartmatic is an international company incorporated in Florida by Venezuelan founders. The company states on its website that it’s not associated with governments or political parties of any country.
___
POWELL: “One of (the software’s) most characteristic features is its ability to flip votes. It can set and run an algorithm that probably ran all over the country to take a certain percentage of votes from President Trump and flip them to President Biden.”
THE FACTS: That didn’t happen. There’s no evidence that any of Dominion’s systems switched votes for Trump to count as votes for Biden. A statement released by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, a federal agency that oversees U.S. election security, says there’s no truth to claims that votes cast for Trump were switched to count for Biden or deleted.

POWELL, on reports that a U.S. voting server is in Germany: “That is true, it’s somehow related to this but I do not know whether good guys got it or bad guys got it."
THE FACTS: No, it’s not true. Powell is referencing a fictitious story that a server hosting evidence of voting irregularities in the Nov. 3 U.S. election was in Germany.
Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas claimed last week that “U.S. Army forces” seized a server from a Frankfurt office. An Army spokesman described allegations that the Army had recovered servers in Germany as false.
Two voting software companies that conspiracy theorists said were linked to the German server — Scytl and Dominion — have both released statements denying those claims.
___
POWELL: “President Trump won by a landslide.”
THE FACTS: That’s false. Biden has an Electoral College lead of 306 to 232 after The Associated Press on Thursday declared him the winner in Georgia. That's the same margin Trump had in 2016. Back then, Trump described it as a “landslide.” Biden also leads the popular vote by nearly 6 million votes.
Romney Slams Trump on Election Tactics
11:29 pm
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Twitter:
“Having failed to make even a plausible case of widespread fraud or conspiracy, the president has now resorted to overt pressure on state and local officials to subvert the will of the people and overturn the election. It is difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action by a sitting American president.”

Trump’s Attempts to Overturn Election Are Unparalleled
10:13 pm
“President Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election are unprecedented in American history and an even more audacious use of brute political force to gain the White House than when Congress gave Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency during Reconstruction,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Trump’s chances of succeeding are somewhere between remote and impossible, and a sign of his desperation after President-elect Joe Biden won by nearly six million popular votes and counting, as well as a clear Electoral College margin..."
Quote of the Day
8:43 pm
“We have never seen anything like this before. This is a president abusing his very great powers to try to stay in office, even though it is obvious to everyone that he has been defeated in the polls. That is a prospect that terrified most of the founders.”
— Presidential historian Michael Beschloss, quoted by the Washington Post.
Trump Told Ally He’s Getting Back at Democrats
8:32 pm
“President Trump told an ally that he knows he lost, but that he is delaying the transition process and is aggressively trying to sow doubt about the election results in order to get back at Democrats for questioning the legitimacy of his own election in 2016, especially with the Russia investigation,” CNN reports.
______
He cares more for his despicable desire for revenge than for the wellfare of nation.
Trump Tax Write-Offs Ensnared in 2 New York Probes
8:29 pm
“Two separate New York State fraud investigations into President Trump and his businesses, one criminal and one civil, have expanded to include tax write-offs on millions of dollars in consulting fees, some of which appear to have gone to Ivanka Trump,” the New York Times reports.
“The inquiries — a criminal investigation by the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., and a civil one by the state attorney general, Letitia James — are being conducted independently. But both offices issued subpoenas to the Trump Organization in recent weeks for records related to the fees.”

Atlanta Mayor Says Trump Would Eat His Kids
5:58 pm
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) told CNN that President Trump would “eat his own children” if it benefited him.
Alky, Earlier you said Biden lead was "9 million". What happened?
After a hand recount of roughly 5 million votes cast in the presidential election, Georgia election officials confirmed President-elect Joe Biden received more votes than President Trump in the state.
Georgia’s secretary of state ordered the recount as a part of the risk-limiting audit process to ensure the public’s trust in the outcome of the presidential vote in the state, where Biden led by 12,284 votes, according to the audited results. That resulted in a 0.0099 percent variation from the original margin, they said.
In the critical weeks before Election Day, Big Tech and the legacy media took extreme measures to bury the unfolding story of Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s personal ties to his son Hunter’s notorious business deals in China, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Facebook and Twitter suppressed a New York Post story even before a fact-check, and legacy media outlets refused to cover the story even as evidence mounted. According to a blockbuster new poll, this unprecedented suppression of a bombshell story arguably cost President Donald Trump his reelection.
A Media Research Center (MRC) poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates found that 36 percent of Biden voters were not aware of the evidence behind claims that Joe Biden was personally involved in his son Hunter’s business deals with China. Thirteen percent of those voters (4.6 percent of Biden’s total vote) said that if they had known the facts, they would not have voted for Biden.
Such a shift away from Biden would have given Trump the election, according to MRC’s analysis of the preliminary — and contested — election results predicting a Biden win. Had the Biden-China story seen the light of day, Trump would have won the election with 289 electoral votes.
“It is an indisputable fact that the media stole the election,” MRC President Brent Bozell argued. “The American electorate was intentionally kept in the dark. During the height of the scandal surrounding Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings, the media and the big tech companies did everything in their power to cover it up.”
Bozell noted that Twitter and Facebook limited sharing of The New York Post‘s bombshell report, while legacy media outlets largely ignored it. After the Post story failed to get the kind of traction many expected it would, Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, came forward with firsthand knowledge — and evidence — tying Joe Biden to the notorious deals.
Get out the way, so I can lynch Obama from Kenya
Through this corrupt era one of the common refrains has been, “that’s why or how we got Trump.” Usually it is whatever it is the person didn’t like before Trump rebranded as the bad thing that got us Trump. But on display today is one of the real reasons ‘we got Trump.’ It’s not the deepest reason but it is a critical, critical part of the equation. It’s also why Donald Trump was able to careen through the leading candidates of the Republican party so easily in 2016.
It’s simply this: for years Republicans had relied on feeding their supporters a diet of scare tactics, conspiracy theories, nonsense, racism and crazy to sustain partisan support, engagement and intensity. The party’s leaders enabled it. They were sustained by it. But they always kept a certain distance from it.
Over time though the balance began to shift. By the late Obama years the congressional Republican party was actually run from the House Freedom Caucus, a sort of proto-Trumpist faction, despite being nominally only two or three dozen members of the House. Formally, John Boehner was the Speaker but only at the sufferance of the Freedom Caucus. That became clear with the collapse of what began as overwhelming bipartisan support for immigration reform in 2013. It ended with Boehner throwing in the towel in 2015 because of the impossibility of his job.
Trump’s genius was dispense with this two-step leadership model which had come to dominate the GOP, especially after the late Bush years and, in essence, take over the party from the Freedom Caucus. Embrace all the crazy – no winks and nods – and just take over the whole thing. Non-Trump Republicans were totally unable to stop his onslaught because they’d been feeding their supporters a diet of Trumpism for years. They were in no position to suddenly declare it all beyond the pale and Trump blew right through them like Godzilla blasting and knocking down rickety model buildings in one of those old movies. Trump saw the rot and blasted right through it.
Of course, after some desultory resistance they all fell into line. The one’s who ran even a bit against the grain were quickly run out of office.
Today we see the same pattern. We had lawyers for the President of the United States demanding that the votes of an entire city be thrown out because of claims of wholesale fraud and a conspiracy built on “communist money” and the machinations of the late Hugo Chavez to count Democratic votes at a higher percentage than Republican ones. It was a performance you couldn’t even really quite understand unless you’re fully versed in the racist conspiracy world of 8Chan, OANN and the rest of the rightwing nonsense-iverse. Mainstream Republicans, to the degree such a group still exists, are clearly trying to lie low and let the bureaucratic process work its way toward Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20th. But they don’t dare contradict this phantasmagoria of lies. They passively assent to it.
Of course, these aren’t the deepest roots of Trumpism which are tied to demographic changes, a political economy wrenching the cities away from the hinterlands and a rising authoritarian tide we don’t, living through it, fully understand. But politics isn’t all underlying causes. Politics in the traditional sense of the word, the actions or individuals and elites, matters quite a lot too. And those are the skids that were greased for Trumpism.
And thus the pattern. The GOP made its devil’s bargain with the racist conspiracy theory culture of the far right long ago. They profit from it and it sustains them. They couldn’t fight it if they wanted to (and seldom have any desire to). Because it’s the wind that sustains them. It’s the coursing ocean that drives them forward. That is why we have Trump and it’s why this pattern and rot will continue as far as the eye can see.

Excuse me, but there are no norms left. Democrats and the media burned them all to the ground in the scorched earth attack on Trump that started before the 2016 election and continued without interruption through Election Day 2020.
Remember when The Resistance doxxed electoral college electors after the 2016 election in an effort to coerce them into changing their votes, when Democrat politician declared the election stolen because the Russians took out Facebook ads, when many Democrats boycotted the inauguration and the first State of the Union Address? Or when Democrats rioted in D.C. during the inauguration? And how Democrat politicians have justified and in some cases encouraged attacks on Trump supporters, who in many big cities are now hunted for sport. I remember.
I’m so old, I remember when Democrats hired a foreign ex-intelligence agent to collude with the Russians to produce a phony dossier asserting, among other false things, Trump paid hookers to pee on a bed in Moscow because Obama once slept on it, then leaked those details to the media in collusion with the Director of the FBI, who himself went to the White House to meet the newly elected president Trump in order to set him up and create a pretext for leaking the dossier. Even before the election, Democrats and the media claimed unsavory ties between Trump and the Russians, and the Russia collusion assertion led to several years of efforts to paralyze the Trump administration, with once reputable law professors and political pundits throwing around accusations of treason that earned them reliable bookings on MSNBC and CNN, book deals, and hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers.
I’m even so old that I remember how almost weekly major newspapers like the NY Times and Washington Post would roll out serial “bombshells” showing Trump illegal or unethical conduct in office based on anonymous supposed intelligence and “senior administration sources familiar the matter” — yet time and again the bombshell turned out to be a dud, to be followed by a new bombshell as the prior one faded. This created a continuous crisis news cycle. I don’t believe these sources existed, or if they did, they were not as described, like the supposedly “senior” administration official who wrote an anonymous op-ed in the NY Times, only to reveal himself recently as a not so senior DHS official who didn’t even serve in the White House or in a position to be close to Trump. The NY Times used his anonymity to create the false narrative of a senior official close to Trump ready to spill the beans — if the Times deceived the public about that, nothing it says about anonymous sources close to Trump should be believed.
I’m also old enough to remember how Obama holdovers in the permanent bureaucracy leaked transcripts of diplomatic conversations between Trump and foreign leaders early in the administration, causing a serious breach of the president’s ability to conduct the nation’s business. Those same permanent bureaucrats continued to leak and conspire for years.
Believe it or not, I’m also old enough to remember when Democrats and the media told us Trump was sending his unmarked stormtroopers to scoop “mostly peaceful” protesters off city streets, but none of that was true. Or when we had a multi-week Democrat and media frenzy about how Trump’s goons supposedly were eliminating postal boxes throughout the country to prevent people from mailing in ballots, when it turned out that the images were of routine rotation of mail drop boxes.
And how big tech giants and mainstream media openly silenced important information about Biden family influence peddling.
I could go on and on and on. Read through our Trump Derangement Syndrome Tag for hundreds of examples. And almost all of it was aided and abetted by Never Trump Republicans.
So don’t lecture me about how Trump and his supporters are violating all norms of behavior expected of presidential administrations.
Democrat and media maniacs blew up all norms.
So I’m going to sit back and watch the election contests that are going on right now. Stay the course. If the evidence is there, it’s there. If it’s not, it’s not. We’ll abide by court decisions, but until those legal efforts are exhausted, there is no reason to listen to the people who defiled and destroyed everything they touched in their scorched earth effort to get Trump.

Legal insurrection .....the dumpster fire of rats demented mind!!!!!!!
PADUCAH, KY—With Democrats proposing the mass cancellation of student debt, successful Americans around the country are really looking forward to paying taxes to relieve the debt of people who purchased expensive yet useless college degrees. One local plumbing contractor, Sam Caughorn, is really looking forward to paying the tab on his neighbor's $89,000 gender studies degree.
"Listen, I'm just a plumber," he said. "I didn't go to college, but I work hard and support my family. I don't know about all that high-falutin gender stuff they teach in college, but I'm sure it must be important since it's so expensive! Happy to help out another person in need."
According to studies, there are millions of white girls working at coffee shops across the country while struggling under the crushing student debt they acquired by irresponsibly obtaining college degrees that gave them no marketable job skills. Benevolent politicians have proposed transferring all the wealth from trade workers and minority business owners to help indebted white girls with their student loans so they can still afford their daily latte and cat food expenses.
Local gender studies major Amber White is looking forward to having all her debt forgiven, thanks in part to the contributions of plumbers like Sam Caughorn. "I'm so thankful for the generosity of our Democrat leaders!" she said. "They really look out for the little folx. Also, down with capitalism and white men!"
According to sources, Sam Caughorn owns a successful business he started right after high school. He also has 5 kids, a nice house, and serves as a deacon at his church. "I guess I can spare some change for poor disadvantaged girls like Amber," he said.

MARACAIBO, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuelans, desperate for fuel after months of shortages, have begun stealing crude from idled fields owned by state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela and distilling homemade gasoline, according to two PDVSA workers and a half dozen people familiar with the practice.
The amount of crude stolen is a tiny fraction of Venezuela's output. But the activity is testament to the crises at PDVSA, which can no longer supply the country's population with fuel.
Venezuela's once-formidable 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd) refining network has collapsed, oil and refining installations have little security or maintenance, and the firm is unable to retain qualified workers as salary values erode.

Trump and Giuliani are the Republican Party
8:49 am
Jennifer Rubin:
“Let us not dwell on the details.
Or on the shamefulness of state bar authorities in failing to sanction such unprofessional conduct.
Or on Giuliani’s hair dye that ran down from each sideburn.
What is clear is that this is the level of sheer insanity and irrational propaganda that passes for Republican ‘thinking.’
Plainly, Giuliani is representing the president’s views, and because the vast majority of Republicans say Trump should be allowed to exhaust his legal claims, his performance has, in effect, been endorsed by Republican House and Senate leadership, much of right-wing media and the Republican National Committee.”
Last Gasps of a Dying Campaign
7:53 am
“President Trump and his allies are taking increasingly frantic steps to subvert the results of the 2020 election, including summoning state legislators to the White House as part of a longshot bid to overturn Joe Biden’s victory,” the AP reports.
“Among other last-ditch tactics:
personally calling local election officials who are trying to rescind their certification votes in Michigan,
suggesting in a legal challenge that Pennsylvania set aside the popular vote there and
pressuring county officials in Arizona to delay certifying vote tallies.
“Election law experts see it as the last, dying gasps of the Trump campaign and say Biden is certain to walk into the Oval Office come January. But there is great concern that Trump’s effort is doing real damage to public faith in the integrity of U.S. elections.”
Trump Is On An Island
6:58 am
“Most of President Trump’s closest advisers have completely distanced themselves from his legal effort and are avoiding his lawyers to avoid being swept into their courtroom dramas,” Axios reports.
“Some of the president’s advisers act like they think he can still overturn the election results — because they remain on the payroll and don’t have another choice. But talk to them privately, and many say Rudy Giuliani and his team are on a dead-end path.”
The Media Filter Bubble Is Getting Worse
6:56 am
Axios: “The media remains fairly clueless about the America that exists outside of the big cities, where most political writers and editors live. The coverage missed badly the surge in Trump voters in places obvious (rural America) and less obvious (Hispanic-heavy border towns in Texas).
“Let’s be honest: Many of us under-appreciated the appeal of Trump’s anti-socialism message and the backlash against the defund-the-police rhetoric on the left.
“The media (and many Democrats) are fairly clueless about the needs, wants and trends of Hispanic voters. Top Latinos warned about overlooking and misreading the fastest-growing population in America — but most didn’t listen. Hispanics will shape huge chunks of America’s political future, so a course correction is in order.”
Democrats Demand Briefing from GSA Chief
6:46 am
Politico: “Four senior House Democrats are demanding that GSA Administrator Emily Murphy brief them Monday on the reason she has yet to ascertain Joe Biden’s win in the presidential election, warning that her answers will determine whether they intend to haul her to Capitol Hill for a public hearing.”
GOP Senate Signals It Will Confirm Biden Cabinet
6:29 am
“Senate Republicans are signaling they will confirm most of President-elect Joe Biden’s Cabinet picks in January — a rare bright spot for a White House that may clash with a GOP majority for years to come,” Politico reports.
“Many Republicans won’t even publicly concede that Biden will be the next president while President Donald Trump fights to overturn the election results. But a critical mass of GOP senators said in interviews that Biden has the right to his Cabinet, indicating he may be able to staff his administration largely to his liking.”

Trump’s Antics Show Contempt for His Own Voters 9:26 am
Jonathan Bernstein:
“I’m hardly the first to say this, but one thing remains clear about Donald Trump as a politician: No one has more contempt for his supporters than the president himself and those around him.
“Trump is currently taking his allies through a crash course in disdain for democracy.
He’s inventing, repeating or embellishing entirely false accusations about fraud.
He’s asking the courts to toss out hundreds of thousands of legal votes for basically no reason.
He’s demanding that the election results be overturned altogether by Republican officials — judges in some cases, election administrators in others, or even state legislators in an extreme scenario.
It could hardly be more unconstitutional and undemocratic.
Oh, and it’s entirely impractical: Trump’s legal and political strategies have no realistic chance of working…
“Trump and his allies are treating their own supporters as if they were the easiest marks in the world,
willing to fall for whatever wild claims the president can come up with to keep their resentment boiling and their donations flowing.
And while it’s true that some Democratic politicians have said nasty things over the years about rank-and-file Trump voters, none of them has ever reached that level of contempt.”
We Didn’t Get Here By Accident

First Read: “Over the last four years, we’ve seen Republican leaders in Congress — a separate and equally powerful branch of government — assist Trump, appease him or stay silent.
“We’ve seen how conservative media paints a radically different view of American politics than other news outlets do.
“We’ve seen how many Trump administration officials put service to the president ahead of service to the public.
“And we’ve seen a president who has consistently demonstrated that he puts his own political interests first.”
Trump Voters Say There’s ‘No Way’ He Lost
9:18 am
Reuters: “In interviews with 50 Trump voters, all said they believed the election was rigged or in some way illegitimate.
Of those, 20 said they would consider accepting Biden as their president, but only in light of proof that the election was conducted fairly.
Most repeated debunked conspiracy theories espoused by Trump, Republican officials and conservative media claiming that millions of votes were dishonestly switched to Biden in key states by biased poll workers and hacked voting machines.
“Many voters interviewed by Reuters said they formed their opinions by watching emergent right-wing media outlets such as Newsmax and One American News Network that have amplified Trump’s fraud claims. Some have boycotted Fox News out of anger that the network called Biden the election winner and that some of its news anchors – in contrast to its opinion show stars – have been skeptical of Trump’s fraud allegations.”
Geraldo Rivera Wants to Name Vaccine After Trump

Geraldo Rivera suggested on Fox News that we name the coronavirus vaccine after President Trump to soften the blow of his election defeat.

Dolly Parton's generous one million dollar contribution to Moderna research caused a professor to rework her classic song ‘Jolene’:
“Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine,
I’m begging of you, please go in my arm.
Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine,
Please just keep me safe from COVID harm."
_______
“I love that song. I love Dolly Parton. And I don’t know — I was inspired.”
BOSTON (AP) — Dolly Parton is being celebrated in song — a rewritten version of her own “Jolene” — for her contribution to an experimental coronavirus vaccine.
Northeastern University associate English professor Ryan Cordell posted a video on Twitter of himself performing a tweaked version of Parton’s signature song, renamed “Vaccine,” that has drawn tens of thousands of views.
The lyrics, were written by linguist and author Gretchen McCulloch, who posted them online and invited people to record them.
“I love that song. I love Dolly Parton. And I don’t know — I was inspired,” Cordell told The Boston Globe on Tuesday. “So I went and grabbed my guitar.”
Parton’s $1 million gift to Nashville’s Vanderbilt University Medical Center helped researchers develop Moderna’s experimental coronavirus vaccine, announced this week.
Cordell grew up with Parton’s music, thanks to his parents and grandparents, and he called Parton’s appearance at the 2019 Newport Folk Festival as one of his “favorite musical memories.”
“So I was just thrilled to see this news that she had contributed to COVID vaccine research — I thought that was amazing,” he said.
The positive reaction to his video from doctors, nurses and other medical professionals is particularly gratifying, he said.
“And that’s really amazing because those folks are under so much pressure and stress, and especially right now as hospitals are getting overwhelmed,” Cordell said. “And so if they watched the video, and it made them happy for a minute, that’s all I need.”
