LIAR @PressSEC Kayleigh McEnany: "I.. [Trump] was never given an orderly transition of power ...

What the H is she talking about????


WH Press Sec. Kayleigh McEnany: “It's worth remembering, [Trump] was never given an orderly transition of power …”

No, but it's worth remembering that President Obama hosted Trump at the White House two days after the election.

Ivanka Trump appears on Fox News (screen grab)

Ivanka Trump lashed out at state investigators in New York state and Manhattan on Friday after reports of two different investigations into Trump family fraud.

“Two separate New York State fraud investigations into President Trump and his businesses, one criminal and one civil, have expanded to include tax write-offs on millions of dollars in consulting fees, some of which appear to have gone to Ivanka Trump, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The inquiries — a criminal investigation by the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., and a civil one by the state attorney general, Letitia James — are being conducted independently,” The New York Times reported Thursday. “But both offices issued subpoenas to the Trump Organization in recent weeks for records related to the fees, the people said.”

“The inquiries — a criminal investigation by the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., and a civil one by the state attorney general, Letitia James — are being conducted independently,” the newspaper noted.

'Enough Mitch, enough': McConnell leveled by Morning Joe for letting Trump try to steal the election

Source: raw story




Published 1 min ago on November 20, 2020


“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough spoke directly to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Friday for standing by while Donald Trump and his “confederacy of dunces” try to steal the election, telling the Kentucky Republican it was time to tell the president to knock it off.

Speaking directly to the camera,..................

“So the question, Mitch, is how much longer are you going to hold American democracy in suspended animation?” Scarborough asked. “How much longer are you going to undermine what really does lay at the heart of American democracy and that is the peaceful transfer of power — something that has defined this country since George Washington decided to get on his horse and go back to Mt. Vernon instead of serving a third term.”


“I said said time and again, you can’t cheer against the president of the United States without cheering against America. That I didn’t cheer against presidents, even if I disagreed with them, I prayed for them. because I was praying for America,” he continued. “In this case, Mitch, this isn’t about undermining American’s faith in Joe Biden — you know this. It’s what makes this so sick, Mitch. This isn’t about undermining Americans’ faith in Joe Biden; one man, one party. It’s about undermining America’s faith in democracy, in the rule of law, and that’s what you’re doing right now. The gig is up and it’s time to tell the president that he and Rudy [Giuliani] and their confederacy of dunces need to stop making fools of themselves and let the next commander in chief get ready to protect and defend this country.”


“Let the next president of the United States start preparing to distribute vaccines, to tens of millions, to hundreds of millions of Americans,” he added. “We are way past time and the president you’re running cover for, he’s doing nothing but tweeting conspiracy theories and trying to undermine American democracy. Enough, Mitch. enough.”

It is not only Mitch, but Entire Congressional #Republicans who are guilty of sitting on their butts and remaining SILENT! (except for a few like Mitt Romney who have spoken out--but in the end have not taken any Construction ACTION!! Like Rachel Maddow says-Watch what they DO, not what they SAY!!

Rudy Giuliani said someone should 'cut the head off' the Democrats while making a throat-slashing gesture on Fox News


Adam Payne 4 minutes ago



Rudy Giuliani called for someone to "cut the head off" the Democrats while making a throat-slashing gesture on Fox News.
Giuliani told host Sean Hannity that the party had been "hijacked by Clinton" and was "corrupt," before urging action to be taken against them.
He claimed, without evidence, that an election company in Germany told Biden's campaign to "come up with a lot more ballots" during the presidential election.
Host Sean Hannity ended the segment as Giuliani was trying to make another point, before insisting that he was not trying to cut him off.
The interview came as Giuliani took part in a bizarre press conference during which he repeated unfounded conspiracy theories while what appeared to be hair dye ran down his face.
.
.......................
Speaking to Sean Hannity on Thursday, Giuliani claimed, without evidence, that an election company in Germany had told Biden's campaign to "come up with a lot more ballots" in the early stages of the presidential election and suggested that the Democrats had stolen "probably about two million votes."

Giuliani then said: "These people want to destroy us. They're very, very bad people. They're not ordinary Democrats.

Seems even Hannity had had enough of the crazed dangerous talk from Rudy.

@chrislhayes We should be clear about what's happening here. For two weeks, people like @senatemajld


I imagine Hayes is responding to trump putting out crazy Rudy today?? Not sure. But whatever, this shitshow is just that!! A GOP shitshow.


@chrislhayes
We should be clear about what's happening here. For two weeks, people like @senatemajldr
and @TedCruz
and the rest have hidden behind the notion that the president has the right pursue legal remedies and to allow the process to play out.

@LindseyGrahamSC had a sad hissyfit this morning on TV for all the world to see and hear...

I do believe Graham calling the AG's in 3 swing states needs to be investigated!!


Sen. Lindsey Graham on The Squad this AM: "I could understand why you want me out of the Senate 'cuz I'm going to bury your agenda. You're the most radical people in the history of American politics, you're Anti-Semitic when it comes to Israel, you're a bunch of socialists..."

What the heck is a Pompeo Doctrine that he tweeted about??

Pompeo seems to use the trip for his own glorification!

Reporters traveling with Secretary Pompeo were just given this readout of his trip to Israel: "The Secretary’s visit highlights U.S. government support of Israeli businesses in the West Bank to operate free from international sanctions as part of the Pompeo Doctrine."
