Shocking! ......... but honest

Foreign policy experts rebuke Trump

YAHOO NEWS
WASHINGTON — A group of academic experts in international relations view
President Trump’s handling of foreign policy “largely as a failure” and have
identified specific examples of his botched global engagements while calling
for new leadership just weeks before Election Day.

The statement, provided to Yahoo News, is signed by nearly 50 foreign policy
scholars from a range of schools across the country, including Harvard,
Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, the Fletcher School at Tufts.

On the top of the list of concerns, the scholars write that
the “U.S. trade war with China” has only served to increase tariffs,
“badly hurt U.S. farmers” and hinder access to protective health
equipment at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.

Additionally, they allege, Trump’s policies at home — including separating
immigrant children from their families, failing to condemn white supremacy
and acts of racial violence, and using the Department of Homeland Security
as a “hyper-partisan weapon” against immigrants — have diminished the U.S.
as a humanitarian leader on the global stage, while siphoning off domestic
resources that might be necessary “should a foreign adversary seek to do
harm to the United States and its citizens.”

the experts r just plain upset with rump and his rump lickers

Correct. 

Ex-CIA Director Brennan says
he hopes Trump gets 'soundly spanked
by the American electorate'

WASHINGTON –
What really has the former CIA Director John Brennan on edge?
The social and political havoc Trump may unleash between Election Day and
the inauguration of his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.

Trump could provoke civil unrest. He could try to declare martial law.
He could pardon himself and a rogue’s gallery of his supporters, Brennan said.

"He's just going to continue along this trajectory of incompetence, ineptitude,
corruption, malfeasance, deceit, lying, and fueling polarization at home,"
Brennan said, adding alienating allies and cozying up to dictators to the list.

Trump has falsely accused Brennan and other Obama-era intelligence officials of
spying on his 2016 presidential campaign, and the president has suggested they
should be criminally prosecuted.
"As long as Mr. Trump continues to trample the tenets of our democracy,
lie to the American people, denigrate the office of the presidency, endanger
our national security, and sully our reputation around the world, I will not
relent in my criticism of him,” Brennan writes.

after he loses  rump will become an even larger and more disruptive influence on our politics than the current russian disinformation effort as has been shown by our intel officials

he can and will become a more destructive influence on american society  largely thru twitter and his deluded rump cult than any single individual in our history

brennan is right       its playing out right now

DOJ's top election crimes prosecutor
quits in protest because of AG Barr

CNN
The Justice Department's top election crimes prosecutor resigned Monday
in protest after Attorney General William Barr told federal prosecutors that
they should examine allegations of voting irregularities before states
move to certify results in the coming weeks.

if i had to work with bill barrstool  i would quit too

No self respecting lawyer should touch Trump's election fraud claims.   Nearly all state election officials report no evidence of widespread voting fraud.  Also international observers found no voting irregularities.  Despite multiple lawsuits filed, not a single case has gone anywhere.  Trump lawsuits are without merit and unsupported by evidence.   Wasteful delay tactics doomed to fail, but harmful to public trust in democracy. 

20 years study by MIT university found fraud rate of 0.00006% among all ballots.  Even vote recounts rarely reverse election results.  During 2000 to 2015, only 3 elections change outcomes after 27 recounts.  But in this election, Biden won so decisively that he would still be president elect even if Pennsylvania is overturned.

Las Vegas newspaper that endorsed Trump
now says he's seeking to "delay the inevitable"

The Las Vegas Review-Journal published an editorial Wednesday saying
President Trump is seeking to "delay the inevitable."

The paper is owned by Trump donor and friend Sheldon Adelson, and had
endorsed Trump for president last month.

An excerpt from the editorial says:

"There is no evidence, however, that fraud cost Mr. Trump the election,
no matter how much the president tweets the opposite and his supporters
wish it so. Mr. Trump would still trail in Pennsylvania even if mail-in ballots
received after Election Day were discarded. He would remain well behind
Mr. Biden in Nevada even if unverified GOP claims of thousands of illegal
votes were dropped from the tally."
“It’s an insult to reason and logic to argue that a few isolated 
irregularities constitute proof of a grand national conspiracy.”

South Korea emergency?

Four more covid-19 deaths have been reported,
bringing the total death toll to a whopping 492.

The country -- with its combination of widespread testing,
aggressive contact tracing, stern public health measures,
strict quarantine regime and digital technology --
has been widely revered as a success story when it comes 
to stopping the spread of the coronavirus.

South Korea's Health Ministry said it is monitoring the dire trend
and will review whether safety measures need to be strengthened.

(South Korea has one-sixth the US population)

here ,   rump doesnt care that 2000 died yesterday

Republicans voted for a monster

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump faced mounting criticism Sunday for
continuing to focus his message on the election and unsubstantiated claims
of voter fraud    while sidestepping a resurgent 
coronavirus pandemic raging across the country.

Almost 170,000 new infections were reported Saturday, according to
Johns Hopkins University – the 11th straight day the count 
surpassed 100,000.

Before that, the U.S. had never before reached six figures.

He doesn't care about the health and security of citizens in this country, and quite frankly he never has. 

 Sad, but true.

Worse........over 70 million republicans are totally OK with that

By the way, in January when the Georgia runoffs occur,

I will be looking to place sizable bets on Perdue and Loeffler

if and when they are offered in January - not before.

I want to wait until the final week in case there are any "late surprises"

I wish they would lose - as it would be BEST for the entire country -

but I DON'T BELIEVE that will be the case.

They are the worst candidates, yes, but that won't matter.

UPDATE on those numbers:

Perdue (R) got 86,500 more votes than Ossoff (D)  or about +1.7% more

That's why he is the favored to win again. 

Ossoff won't gain a post-debate "bump" again like he did the first time - and he still fell well short.

In the special runoff Warnock got more total votes than Loeffler, yes,

but it's a BIG mistake to look at it that way because votes were split among MULTIPLE candidate for each party!

If we presume all votes for a Dem candidate will coalesce around WARNOCK

and all republican votes will now coalesce around LOEFFLER, adding them up:

2,422,609  LOEFFLER (Redneck; Q-anon)

2,376,143  Warnock (D)

President-Elect Biden already serious
about working with Republicans

Joe Biden held a virtual meeting with a bipartisan group of governors
earlier Thursday to talk about the coronavirus pandemic.

The list of governors in the virtual meeting included:

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (Republican)
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (Republican)
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (Republican)
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (Republican)
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (Republican)
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (Democrat)
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (Democrat)
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (Democrat)
Delaware Gov. John Carney (Democrat)
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (Democrat)

If it was trump, would there have been an EQUAL mix of Republican
AND DEMOCRAT Governors?

Would there even be such a "coronavirus" meeting in the first place????

Good move; Joe's not wasting any time moving forward. 

after winning a bundle betting against rump and the rump lickers

i have some money to spare so

i believe i too will look very closely at betting on perdue and loeffler

as well he shouldnt .  rump is leaving a mess .

a refreshiing change from last 4 years of rump governing only for the 40% who r rednecks

Agreed
