Tenney vs Brindisi 2020 2021
The latest buzz is that approximately 215-220 new ballots have been counted through recanvassing and the Judges rulings. From what is being reported, the smallish Tenney lead (11-16) might now be a smallish Brindisi lead (12-15 votes). That being said, there are apparently some larger "blocs" of votes that the Judge needs to rule on that might put one candidate or the other head by larger margins.
But as stated previously, one can pretty much rest assured that Brindisi will be sworn in for another term, either by winning the recount or by having Queen Nancy seat him in the house either way. This whole process seems to be an exercise in futility.
The flipping of the vote count from Tenney to Brindisi is not exactly surprising, as recounts "always" tend to favor Democratic candidates over Republican candidates. They just keep finding more and more votes weeks after an election, until we get the Democrat ahead.
Apparently Republican voters are less inclined to fill out a ballot half assed, vote in the wrong place, forget their address, not bother with a signature, or otherwise just too likely to have their vote counted in the first place by casting it correctly. So it's either that Democratic voters are inherently and consistently dumber than their counterparts, the recounting process is rigged by dishonest Democratic election officials, or a combination of both.
Take your pick!

Speaking of voting, the liberal media continue pretend that Trump voters won't show up to vote in GA. This of course is b.s.. They I tend to vote huge. Especially against the socialist Warnock.
Continue your mindless attempts to find everything Democratic is fraud and everything Republican is fine.
This really happened:
A man's deceased mother recently voted-- for Trump.
Meanwhile many people will continue emphasizing what really needs to be emphasized:
Most Think History Will Find Trump a Failed President
A new USA Today/Suffolk University Poll finds 50% of Americans now predict history will judge Donald Trump as a “failed” president.
The remaining are divided: 16% predict he will be seen as a great president, 13% as a good president and 16% as a fair president.
Nonetheless, most Republicans are ready to vote for Trump again. If he is the party’s nominee in 2024, 71% of Republicans say they would support him, and another 16% say they would consider it. Just 10% say they wouldn’t.
Roger Stone Says Trump Should Pardon Julian Assange
In his first radio interview since being pardoned, Roger spoke told WABC that he plans to sue Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (N-NY) for defamation.
He also made the case for President Trump to pardon Julian Assange.
Quote of the Today
“This is rotten to the core.”
— Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), quoted by the Washington Post, on President Trump pardoning Paul Manafort and Roger Stone.
Quote of Yesterday
“He is literally trying to burn this country down on his way out.”
— Sen. Amy Klobuchar, talking about President Trump in a MSNBC interview.
Trump Is More Erratic Than Ever
Kevin Liptak:
“No one expected him to fade quietly into retirement. And no one, at this point, is particularly obliged to pay attention — a fact Trump seems very aware of as he desperately seeks to grasp hold of the spotlight for however long it will shine, even as his staff is provided instructions for boxing up their desks and cleaning out their microwaves.
“The effect is a president more erratic than ever. Though he has all but disappeared from public view, Trump is wielding what executive powers he has left to rancorous effect, ensuring his presence is felt even as he holes up in virtual isolation. Instead of off-the-cuff rallies or shouting underneath his helicopter, Trump is holding forth in pre-produced videos and, as always, tweeting.”
Trump Continues His Pardon Spree
“President Trump on Wednesday evening announced 26 new pardons, including ones for longtime ally Roger Stone, former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner’s father, Charles,” CNN reports.
“The pardons of Manafort and Stone reward two of the most high-profile and widely condemned former advisers of the President, both of whom were indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller, went to trial and were convicted by juries of multiple crimes.”
New York Times: “It was the second wave of pardons and commutations by the president in two days, showing his willingness to use his power aggressively on behalf of loyalists.”
Axios: “It’s a continuation of the president’s controversial pre-Christmas pardon spree, which began in earnest Tuesday night with pardons for a trio of convicted former GOP congressmen and several military contractors involved in the 2007 massacre of Iraqi civilians.”
Trump Pushes Forward with Saudi Arms Sale
“The Trump administration has formally notified Congress that it intends to sell nearly $500 million in precision bombs to Saudi Arabia, a transaction that is likely to fuel criticism from lawmakers who object to arming the Persian Gulf nation over its record of human rights abuses and stifling dissent and role in the war in Yemen,” the Washington Post reports.
One Million Got Vaccine Already
“More than 1 million Americans have received Covid shots, but the government isn’t likely to make good on the goal of vaccinating 20 million people by the end of this month,” Politico reports.
U.S. Mulls Closing Iraqi Embassy
“The United States is considering quickly closing its embassy in Baghdad after a series of rocket attacks on Iraq’s Green Zone by Iranian-backed militias,” Axios reports.
“The move, among several options being considered, could be a prelude to retaliation against Iran, which President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have branded a state sponsor of terror. The embassy has also played a pivotal role in supporting a shaky Iraqi government.”
U.S. Holiday Travel Surges Despite Outbreak
“Millions of Americans are traveling ahead of Christmas and New Year’s, despite pleas from public health experts that they stay home to avoid fueling the raging coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 320,000 nationwide,” the AP reports.
“Many people at airports this week thought long and hard about whether to go somewhere and found a way to rationalize it.”
The U.S. reported 228,000 new cases and 3,359 new deaths yesterday, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Newly-Elected Congressman In Intensive Care
Rep.-elect Luke Letlow (R-LA) has been transferred to an intensive care unit at a Shreveport hospital as he continues treatment for COVID-19, the Baton Rouge Advocate reports.
Jeffrey Rosen Takes Reins of Justice Department
Wall Street Journal:
“Current and former officials say Mr. Rosen has a good relationship with the president, who they say may expect his new acting attorney general to do things Mr. Barr was unwilling to do.”
Shame on Scott and all the rest of you who continue to support and defend this travesty of American history who is dragging down the high office of the President of the United States.

HERE'S HOW THE GAME IS BEING PLAYED:
Democrats want rushed vote on Trump's $2,000 coronavirus aid checks
8:01 AM
WASHINGTON (Reuters)
- Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday aim to win quick passage of legislation providing $2,000 in direct payments to Americans as part of a coronavirus economic relief initiative after President Donald Trump unexpectedly insisted on the provision.
The stakes in this long-shot bid are enormous, as millions of Americans desperately await some sort of new assistance from Washington in a COVID-19 pandemic that is spiraling out of control in the United States and other nations.
Late on Monday, Congress overwhelmingly approved an $892 billion emergency coronavirus aid bill that contains a one-time, $600 payment to individuals to help them cope with a U.S. economy hobbled by the pandemic.
The aid was attached to $1.4 trillion in funding to keep the federal government operating through this fiscal year, which ends on Sept. 30, 2021.
But defying expectations, Trump on Tuesday hinted he might veto the gigantic legislation if the direct payments were not increased to $2,000 per person and if a slew of unrelated government spending projects, including foreign aid, were not jettisoned.
Trump, who was awaiting receipt of the $2.3 trillion bill from Congress, did not explicitly say he would veto the bill in its current form.
But with his warning, he put the coronavirus aid in limbo as well as the ability of the federal government to operate normally beyond next Monday, when existing money runs out.
In a challenge to congressional Republicans who labored to keep the cost of the coronavirus aid bill below $1 trillion, Democrats joyfully embraced Trump's demand for bigger stimulus checks for Americans.
On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tweeted: "Mr. President, sign the bill to keep government open! Urge McConnell and McCarthy to agree with the Democratic unanimous consent request for $2,000 direct payments! This can be done by noon on Christmas Eve!"
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the top two Republicans in Congress, and their aides have been silent on Trump's demand for bigger checks.
But McCarthy, in a letter late on Wednesday to his fellow Republicans, described a counter-move his party planned to make on Thursday that would seek changes to the foreign aid component of the spending bill.
Each side might end up blocking the other's proposal in a stand-off that would leave the bill that passed on Monday unchanged.
Employing a procedural maneuver rarely used for major legislation, Democrats early on Thursday were expected to try to ram the $2,000 payment initiative through the House in lightning speed with a unanimous vote. But to prevail, all House members of the 435-seat chamber would have to go along by not objecting to the maneuver.
If the Democrats' gambit fails, it would be up to Trump to either sign the combined $2.3 trillion in coronavirus aid and government funding into law, or veto it.
Congressional backers might have the votes to override a veto. If not, Congress and the White House would be in a potentially chaotic showdown just weeks before Trump is replaced by President-elect Joe Biden, a Democrat, on Jan. 20.
In order to avoid a government shutdown, Congress could keep operations running by passing a fourth stopgap funding bill before midnight Monday. For that option to work, lawmakers would need Trump's cooperation at a time when he is still consumed by his loss to Biden in the Nov. 3 presidential election.
The stopgap bill would not include coronavirus aid, however.
In another showdown with Trump, Congress wants to override his veto on Wednesday of a bill authorizing U.S. military programs. The House aims to vote on Monday and the Senate could follow up as early as Tuesday.
The election was legitimate. Trump lost. He is on his way out. Good riddance!
The next 27 days will be unprecedented, because he's not sane anymore.
With four weeks left in President Trump’s term, he is at perhaps his most unleashed — and, as events of the past few days have demonstrated, at the most unpredictable point in his presidency.
He remains the most powerful person in the world, yet he is focused on the one area in which he is powerless to get what he wants: a way to avoid leaving office as a loser.
He spends his days flailing for any hope, if not of actually reversing the outcome of the election then at least of building a coherent case that he was robbed of a second term.
When he has emerged from his relative isolation in recent days, it has been to suggest out of the blue that he would try to blow up the bipartisan stimulus package, driving a wedge through his party in the process, and to grant clemency to a raft of allies and supporters, mostly outside the normal Justice Department process. On Wednesday, he vetoed a defense bill backed by most of his party.
He has otherwise sequestered himself in the White House, playing host to a cast of conspiracy theorists and hard-core supporters who traffic in ideas like challenging the election’s outcome in Congress and even invoking martial law, seeking to give some of them government jobs.
He is almost entirely disengaged from leading the nation even as Americans are being felled by the coronavirus at record rates. Faced with an aggressive cyberassault almost surely carried out by Russia, his response, to the degree that he has had one, has been to play down the damage and to contradict his own top officials by suggesting that the culprit might actually have been China. He played almost no role in negotiating the stimulus bill that just passed Congress before working to disrupt it at the last minute.
It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s latest behavior is anything other than a temper tantrum, attention seeking or a form of therapy for the man who controls a nuclear arsenal — though one alternative, if charitable, view is that it is strategic groundwork for a grievance-filled run in 2024.
If nothing else, it will make for an especially anxious next 27 days in Washington.
This article is based on interviews with more than a dozen current and former Trump administration officials, Republicans and allies of the president.
π€£WRONG!
LOL.
the President is not "in line" to be President.
He IS the President.
LOL.π€£
Republicans in the House of Representatives on Thursday blocked an attempt from House Democrats to pass $2,000 direct payments to Americans, as the fate of a coronavirus relief package passed by Congress hangs in the balance.
The Democrats moved to increase the size of the checks after President Donald Trump threatened Tuesday to oppose a more than $2 trillion pandemic aid and federal funding bill because it sends $600 rather than $2,000 deposits. The proposal — which Congress passed Monday after Trump took no role in the talks in which lawmakers crafted it — included $900 billion in coronavirus relief.

Trump Completes His Russian Collusion Cover Up
9:29 am
Jonathan Chait:
“The official White House statement justifying the pardon of Paul Manafort explains that his prosecution ‘was premised on the Russian collusion hoax.’ But Trump’s pardon — a ploy so well signaled its inevitability was clear even before he stepped into the Oval Office and that he has floated for years to keep Manafort quiet — is the final proof the Russia investigation was not a hoax but a scandal Trump used his powers to thwart.
“Trump has already pardoned Michael Flynn and commuted the sentence of Roger Stone, both of whom lied to investigators to protect him. The Manafort pardon is the final piece of his Russiagate cover-up.”
Elie Honig:
“Every significant Mueller defendant who refused to cooperate (or started but then stopped) has now been pardoned.
“Only Rick Gates and Michael Cohen — both of whom testified publicly, in court or Congress — have not been pardoned.”
Flashback Quote of the Day
“Pardoning Manafort would be seen as a political disaster for the President. There may come a day down the road, after the politics have changed that you’d want to consider an application of him like everybody else, but now would be a disaster.”
— Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), quoted by CNN in early 2019.
AND NOW THE DISASTER HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE.
TRUMP IS A LOSER.
SO PARDON AWAY, CROOKED MR. PRESIDENT.
THAT WILL MAKE YOU AN EVEN BIGGER LOSER AMD CRIMINAL IN AMERICAN AND IN WORLD HISTORY.
