Re: Trump - The Long Goodbye

A US federal appeals court has firmly rejected the Trump campaign's attempt to block President-elect Joe Biden from being declared winner in Pennsylvania.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-55109168

The panel of three judges deemed the case was without merit, saying the Trump campaign had not made specific allegations or provided proof.

The ruling is another major setback for President Trump in his attempts to overturn the 3 November election.

The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals had been asked to consider a lower court's decision to dismiss the Trump campaign's attempts to invalidate millions of mail-in votes in Pennsylvania.

The lower court ruling had paved the way for the battleground state to certify Joe Biden's win, giving him 20 vital electoral college votes and effectively the presidency.

In giving the appeal court's opinion, Judge Stephanos Bibas, who was nominated by Trump, wrote:

"Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here."

That link is coming up subscription only. But without reading it, you'd expect him to be an improvement because Obama inherited the fallout from the biggest financial shock this century (pre-Covid that is...).

Trump attacks FBI for not investigating his conspiracy claims in wild TV interview

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b1763412.html

In a furious interview with Fox News on Sunday morning, President Donald Trump promoted false conspiracy theories surrounding his electoral defeat while claiming some states allowed voters to turn in ballots after Election Day and that the FBI, the Justice Department and the federal court system were complicit in an attempt to cover up alleged election fraud.

Would that be where Shrub had to sort out the catastrophic mess that cigar boy Clinton created - and that cost so very very much?

In spite of best efforts it STILL cost a fortune and was so huge in every way that couldn't be worked down much by GWB because of the huge costs to address the military issues alone, something that would have certainly have "gone critical" if just left to fester.

Re: Trump - The Long Goodbye

Desperate Trump gives first TV interview since election loss

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ction-Day.html

(extracts from The Ramblings)

Trump finally broke his media silence by joining Fox News' Maria Bartiromo for his first interview since losing to Joe Biden – 26 days after the election. He called into the Sunday morning show from Camp David, where he spent the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Trump “went off” on the election results in the more than 45-minute interview where most of his answers spanned several minutes and repeated claims he has already made over the past weeks on Twitter.

The president claimed without any evidence during the interview that even 'most Democrats' believe 'election fraud' led to Biden's win. The president also told Bartiromo there's 'no way' Biden earned more votes than Barack Obama in his two presidential elections. He also said the U.S. will never have another Republican president, senator or representative elected if they allow Democrats to get away with 'stealing' the election for Biden. Trump suggested that Democrats now know how to 'cheat' the system effectively and will have their candidates win from now on.

Trump blamed the media for portraying his lawsuits and case against the election results as voice of any evidence.

'We don't have freedom of the press in this country. We have suppression of press,' Trump said. You can't have a scandal if no one reports about it. They make it like we don't have evidence, we have evidence all over the place.'
The president returned to the White House from Camp David, located in Frederick, Maryland, on Sunday afternoon. His daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner, who also both serve as the president’s senior advisers, returned to the White House on Marine One. They were joined by their three children Arabella, Theodore and Joseph.

Neither the president’s wife, first lady Melania Trump, or their son Barron returned with Trump.
Since November 3, the country has barely heard from the president and he has only emerged from the White House a handful of times – mostly to travel across the line from Washington D.C. to Sterling, Virginia for a round of golf at his club there.

The last interview Trump participated in was with a local Milwaukee radio station on Election Day. Since then, he has made a few public appearances for short remarks, whether it be on the coronavirus vaccine or soaring stock market, but has barely taken questions from the press or directly addressed the election results.

On Thursday – Thanksgiving Day – Trump took his first question from a reporter since the election, indicating for the first time directly that he would vacate office if the Electoral College ultimately votes for Biden.

While he has been quiet in public on the election, Trump has been very vocal on Twitter. Almost daily he tweets that he is the true winner and alleges there was massive fraud, rigging and cheating by Democrats to 'steal' the election for Biden.

Re: Trump - The Long Goodbye

I just popped in to see if anyone had wondered why no publicity had been given, during the recent Presidency, to any work being done to prevent fake voting.

Why do things, such as this, only become important as the election happens?

If nothing is done, it will continue.

Maybe, if the President had concerns, he would have had the power to start sorting it out way before this!

(Note: This is a thought, not an "assertation")

Anyway it's very quiet, in here, so I'll try again another time...

In fairness to Trump, he had been expressing concerns about potential pitfalls in postal voting. However, AFAIK he didn't put forward any proposals on how to counter the potential fraud, other than state that physical attendance would be the only real solution. Trouble is, as he must have known, especially in the context of covid, this was never a viable proposition.

Am sure that the more learned members on here will correct me, which I look forward to, along with their own solutions to what is and will be a perpetual problem unless resolved.
