I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!

Stacey Abrams Credited for Massive Voter Turnout in Georgia

Giving credit where credit is due…

Stacey Abrams, who earlier this year was on a short list of potential vice-presidential candidates, was ultimately not chosen by Joseph R. Biden Jr. But on Friday, as Mr. Biden took a narrow lead in Georgia, it was Ms. Abrams who was celebrated, a sign of her remarkable ascent as a power broker since her failed bid for governor of that state two years ago.

Celebrities, activists and voters across Georgia credited Ms. Abrams with moving past her loss — she came within 55,000 votes of the governor’s mansion — and building a well-funded network of organizations that highlighted voter suppression in the state and inspired an estimated 800,000 residents to register to vote.

“You have to build the infrastructure to organize and motivate your base, and you have to persuade people,” said Jason Carter, a Democrat who was the party’s candidate for governor in 2014. “Stacey built that infrastructure, and Donald Trump’s presidency energized that infrastructure, and it opened up voters to persuasion who were previously not open, particularly in the suburbs.”

Mr. Biden pulled ahead of President Trump in Georgia, a state that has not elected a Democratic presidential candidate in nearly three decades.

Pennsylvania Postal Worker Recants Story about Voter Fraud in Erie P.A

The Washington Post reports that the Pennsylvania postal worker whose claims have been cited by top Republicans as potential evidence of widespread voting irregularities, admitted to U.S. Postal Service investigators that he fabricated the allegations, according to three officials briefed on the investigation and a statement from a House congressional committee.

Richard Hopkins’s claim that a postmaster in Erie, Pa., instructed postal workers to backdate ballots mailed after Election Day was cited by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) in a letter to the Justice Department calling for a federal investigation. Attorney General William P. Barr subsequently authorized federal prosecutors to open probes into credible allegations of voting irregularities and fraud, a reversal of long-standing Justice Department policy.

But on Monday, Hopkins, 32, told investigators from the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General that the allegations were not true, and he signed an affidavit recanting his claims, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee tweeted late Tuesday that the “whistleblower completely RECANTED.”

Georgia’s Republican Lt. Governor Denies Claims of Fraud in Election

Not all Republicans got the memo. While most of Trump’s Minions are going around trying to convince Americans that Trump won the election, Georgia Lt. Governor, Geoff Duncan went on CNN today and denied any validity to Trump’s “rigged election” talking point.

Asked multiple times about any irregularities in Georgia’s presidential election, Duncan continuously slapped down Trump’s fraud claims.

“My office has been in close communication with the secretary of state’s office, and the attorney general‘s office and made sure that if there’s any sort of systemic examples of fraud or voter disenfranchisement across the voting base to let us know. We’ve not had any sort of credible incidents raised to our level yet, and so we’ll continue to make sure that the opportunity to make sure every legal ballot is counted is there, but at this point, we’ve not seen any sort of credible examples.”

PFizer Announces 90 Percent Efficacy With New Covid Vaccine

If proven to be true, this is huge!

“This could be the greatest medical advance in 100 years,” said Pfizer chairman and CEO Dr. Albert Bourla of his company’s blockbuster announcement that its COVID-19 vaccine is showing a 90 per cent efficacy. The announcement has made headlines around the world and has sent stock markets soaring in optimism.

To be clear, what 90 per cent efficacy means is that out of the nearly 44,000 people of diverse backgrounds not previously exposed to the disease enrolled in Phase 3 of the study when Pfizer looked at the infected and non-infected patients, 90 per cent of those infected were shown to have received the placebo, while only 10 per cent of the infected had received the actual vaccine. Thus, 90 per cent efficacy.

This is great news because scientists have long indicated that a vaccine with a 50 per cent efficacy would go a long way to controlling the spread of the pandemic.

All George Floyd’s Killers will be tried together in televised case

A Minnesota judge has declined requests from the former Minneapolis police officers charged in the death of George Floyd, ruling that all four will be tried in a single proceeding which will be televised despite state prosecutors not consenting to any audio or visual coverage in the courtroom, MSN News reports.

The Wednesday night order, from Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill, also denied requests from defendants Derek Chauvin, Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Kiernan Lane to have the trial moved out of Minneapolis. The defendants had previously argued that remaining in the city would violate their Sixth Amendment right to a fair proceeding due to the amount of pre-trial exposure.

In allowing the proceedings to be televised, Cahill reasoned that the defendants’ Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial ran concurrent with “the general public’s First Amendment right of access to public trials.”

“The interests promoted by this First Amendment right of public assess are similar to those promoted by the defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to a public trial,” the judge said.

Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff Has Coronavirus

Trump’s total disregard for the seriousness of Coronavirus has put another member of his administration in harm’s way. Mark Meadows, the Chief of Staff in Donald Trump’s administration, tested positive for Coronavirus on Friday.

He becomes only the latest person in President Donald Trump‘s orbit to come down with Covid-19, after an outbreak hit the president, his family and campaign and administration advisors last month. Meadows attended an election night gathering at the White House on Tuesday and stood by, wearing no mask, when Trump spoke at a Republican Party office earlier that day.

News of his positive test came a day after the U.S. set another record for new daily coronavirus infections with more than 120,000. Bloomberg, which first reported Meadows’ diagnosis, said Trump campaign aide Nick Trainer also tested positive for Covid-19.

Mary Trump Says Donald Will ‘Break Stuff’ Before Leaving White House

Mary Trump knows a thing or two about her uncle, Donald Trump. And in a post in The Observer, Mary confirms what many Americans fear – that the immature nature of the man in the White House will propel him to intentionally cause harm to this country before he vacates the office in disgrace.

“This is what Donald’s going to do: he’s not going to concede, although who cares. What’s worse is he’s not going to engage in the normal activities that guarantee a peaceful transition,” she wrote in the article.

“All he’s got now is breaking stuff, and he’s going to do that with a vengeance. I’ve always known how cruel he can be,” Mary Trump added. 

The president’s niece wrote that she’s worried that he will “go as far” as delegitimizing the new administration, passing pardons that “will demoralize us,” and signing a “flurry of executive orders.”

“Remember, he will also still be in charge of the US response to the pandemic. There could be a million Americans dead by then under his watch,” Mary Trump said.

Van Jones Brought to tears after Biden’s Win

After days of counting, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer finally announced that Joe Biden would be the 46th president of the United States. The realization that Trump is no more brought panelist, Van Jones to tears.

“It’s easier to be a dad this morning. It’s easier to tell your kids, ‘Character matters, being a good person matters,'” Jones said. “And it’s easier for a whole lot of people. If you’re Muslim in this country, you don’t have to worry that the president doesn’t what you here. If you’re an immigrant, you don’t have to worry if the president is happy your baby has been snatched away.”
