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

Covid-19 Vaccine will Roll Out 2nd Week in December

During an interview on Fox, CDC Director, Robert Redfield explained that Americans will begin seeing a rollout of a Coronavirus vaccine around the second week in December.

“I think it’s really important. First, it’s, you know, exceptional that we have these vaccines. And it’s very exciting. And, again, it just reinforces why I want people to be vigilant because we’re turning the corner now. You don’t want to be the last group to end up getting COVID, because the vaccine is going to begin to be rolled out probably by the end of the second week of December,” Redfield said.

The CDC director said that there will be a hierarchy to who will receive the vaccine first based on risk and exposure.

“Initially, in a hierarchical way, nursing home residents and then some combination of health care providers and individuals at high risk for a poor outcome. And those decisions are in the process of being finalized as we speak.”

GSA Official Finally Approves Biden’s Transition

Appointed by Donald Trump in 2017, the GSA official responsible for formally approving the Biden transition wrote a letter to Biden on Monday, to advise the President-Elect that the process can now begin.

Emily Murphy, the Trump appointee who holds the keys to transition funds and tools, had delayed issuing an official determination that Biden won election as the Trump campaign filed a flurry of lawsuits challenging the results that show Biden with a clear electoral college victory. 

Murphy said she was not pressured by President Donald Trump, who appointed her to head the GSA in 2017, to hold back the formal ascertainment. 

“Please know that I came to my decision independently, based on the law and available facts,” Murphy wrote in a letter to Biden. “I was never directly or indirectly pressured by any Executive Branch official—including those who work at the White House or GSA—with regard to the substance or timing of my decision.”

Chris Christie Calls Trump’s Legal Team a “national embarrassment”

I would include Donald Trump in that assessment… he is THE national embarrassment.

In an interview today with ABC News, the former Republican governor spoke about the ongoing legal fight by Donald Trump to deny the will of the people and reinsert himself into the presidency.

“Quite frankly, the conduct of the president’s legal team has been a national embarrassment,” he said, referring to Trump attorney Sidney Powell’s accusations against Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a fellow Republican. “This is outrageous conduct by any lawyer,” Christie said.

“They allege fraud outside the courtroom, but when they go inside the courtroom, they don’t plead fraud and they don’t argue fraud,” Christie said. “Listen, I’ve been a supporter of the president’s. I voted for him twice. But elections have consequences, and we cannot continue to act as if something happened here that didn’t happen.”

Regeneron gets FDA Authorization for Covid-19 Treatment

The Food and Drug Administration has granted emergency authorization for the experimental antibody treatment given to President Trump shortly after he was diagnosed with Covid-19, giving doctors another option to treat Covid-19 patients as cases across the country continue to rise.

The treatment, made by the biotech company Regeneron, is a cocktail of two powerful antibodies that have shown promise in early studies at keeping the infection in check, reducing medical visits in patients who get the drug early in the course of their disease. A similar treatment, made by Eli Lilly, was given emergency approval earlier this month.

Georgia Officials Certify Joe Biden’s Election Win

NY Times report that Georgia’s secretary of state certified President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s victory in the state on Friday, dealing a blow to President Trump’s bid to overturn the vote in a half-dozen battleground states and with it the national election that Mr. Biden won decisively.

The Georgia certification, which ensures that Mr. Biden will receive the state’s 16 electoral votes, was an early milestone in the state-by-state process of finalizing Mr. Biden’s victory, a process that is set to unfold in the coming days as Mr. Trump continues to deny his defeat and cry fraud and his campaign and its surrogates inundate the courts with largely baseless lawsuits that have so far been unsuccessful.

“I live by the motto that numbers don’t lie,” the secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s top election official and a Republican, said at a Friday morning news conference at the state capitol. “I believe that the numbers that we have presented today are correct.”

The certification followed a hand recount of the state’s five million votes that Mr. Raffensperger ordered after it was requested by the Trump campaign. The recount found that Mr. Biden beat Mr. Trump by more than 12,000 votes.

Rachel Maddow’s Urgent Plea – Whatever you do, “don’t get this thing”

Rachel Maddow did her show from her home on Thursday and explained why she was missing for the last few weeks. The emotional MSNBC host explained that her partner of 21 years, Susan Mikula, tested positive for Covid-19 and almost died from the illness. Maddow pleaded with everyone to do whatever you have to do to keep safe, “don’t get this thing.”

“Don’t get this thing. Do whatever you can to keep from getting it,” she said. “For Thanksgiving next week, you really are going to have to just have it at home without people coming over. And yeah, it’s going to suck, but that’s going to suck so much less than you or somebody in your family getting this and getting sick. Trust me.”

Poll: More Americans “Happier” with Trump’s Lost than Biden Win

We couldn’t take the nonsense anymore. It’s like the nation just woke up and decided that anyone would be better than the current occupant of the White House.

About one-third of respondents, 34 percent, said they were happy about Trump’s loss, compared to 25 percent who said they were happy about Biden’s victory. However, when the sentiment was expanded to happy or “satisfied,” the percentages were nearly the same, with 52 percent saying they were happy or satisfied with Trump’s loss and 51 percent saying they were happy or satisfied with Biden’s win.

People who voted for Biden were also more likely to be happy Trump lost (73 percent) than happy Biden won (57 percent). Twenty-six percent of Trump voters said they were angry Trump lost, compared to 36 percent who were angry Biden won.
