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

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



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

    excerpt:

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

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

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

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

    That type of truther narrative is extra fringe.



    Sidney Powell Goes After Brian Kemp Over Election Conspiracy

    excerpt:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    excerpt:

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

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

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

    Trump tweet praising Brad Raffensperger in 2018:

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

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

    Trump is leveling accusations about ballot harvesting.


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

    excerpt:

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

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

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

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

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

    Lee Chatfield of MI who visited Trump dubiously at the White House before the MI vote certification changed his Twitter main pic to the image of his face and name that was projected onto the Trump International Hotel in DC by protesters.

    It shows how far up Trump's backside Chatfield will go.

    Shirkey and his spokesperson didn't say who paid for the trip, although the spokesperson said it wasn't government money.

    Shirkey and Chatfield were seen drinking a $500 bottle of wine at Trump International Hotel in DC.


    Trump tweets undermines Michigan leaders, Chatfield spotted at hotel

    excerpt:

    "A spokeswoman for Shirkey said he covered the cost of his trip, including accommodations. While she said no taxpayer dollars were used, she would not specify whether he used campaign funds or personal money to pay for those costs. Shirkey declined additional comment through the spokeswoman."

    Trump is trying to BS his way out of this. He "makes a deal" to leave the white house peacefully and serve house arrest at one his luxury properties. His lawyers will argue he is a typical white collar criminal at most and look at how cooperative he has been in sentencing. The rich don't really serve time and his cult is paying him. All the fraud donations are going to that and he can count on them to keep flowing. Kids all across America are being told their Christmas gift money has gone to "freedom".

    He should feel bad about stealing from Santa but he once stole from a children's charity so of course he does not.

    I am skeptical he will be charged with anything and if he is that he will not flee to Russia. But I also see him getting nervous. No doubt his lawyers have suggested this path.

    I had another look at Jacobson v Mass to get a better understanding of this vaccination and public safety issue. I can't remember from school if Jacobson was a criminal case or what? He was fined $5 at the time over the small pox vaccine refusal. The issue important to the court was public safety. They had no problem understanding that personal liberty was not an unlimited shield against state police powers. In plain English: You are free to do as you wish unless you harm others. Isn't that same line of thinking us often by Libertarians? In the New York case, it's a state police power issue; however, I don't think anyone had been charged with a crime? So it went to the court as a First Amendment matter v. a Criminal Law matter? That would explain in a way why The Right Wing Five went that way?

    He should really just stop making any more public speeches from here on out. His disposition is getting weaker and dissipating, and creating more embarrassment to the country.

    Trump can now call his own appointed Judge Stephanos Bibas an enemy of the people.

    Trump wholeheartedly endorsed Georgia secretary of state Raffensperger in 2018. Now he calls him an enemy of the people.
