This #GivingTuesday, meet some of the remarkable girls from the @GirlsAlliance global community, along with a few of the organizations that are supporting them during the pandemic.
Giving Tuesday is overwhelming me with great and deserving options but right now I’m donating weekly to Fair Fight and each of the GA Senate runoff campaigns. We put The Obama Foundation in our will. Congrats, Alycee!

It's getting ugly in Georgia. Republicans are now openly begging Trump to stop lying about the voting being fraudulent. What's disgusting is that they happily told these same lies, and only now want him to stop due to fear of flat GOP turnout. New piece:https://t.co/St3qhpdPSP
“Trump’s Disgraceful Endgame”
(National Review)
“Trump’s most reprehensible tactic has been to attempt, somewhat shamefacedly,
to get local Republican officials to block the certification of votes and state legislatures to appoint Trump electors in clear violation of the public will. This has gone nowhere, thanks to the honesty and sense of duty of most of the Republicans involved, but it’s a profoundly undemocratic move that we hope no losing presidential candidate
ever even thinks of again.”

WASHINGTON — Christopher Krebs, who was recently fired by President Donald Trump as the head of the federal government’s election cybersecurity efforts, suggested Tuesday that he might take legal action against one of Trump’s lawyers who said that Krebs should be shot.
In an interview on NBC’s “TODAY” show, host Savannah Guthrie asked Krebs how concerned he is about the comments made by Trump campaign lawyer Joe DiGenova in an interview Monday in which he said that Krebs “is a class A moron. He should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot.”
“It’s certainly more dangerous language, more dangerous behavior,” Krebs responded.
Asked if there may be legal action taken as a result of those comments, Krebs said his team is looking at their “available opportunities.”

Again, what a fucked up system that allows a treasonous traitor to continue his corruptest deeds up to nearly 3 months after he was defeated at election.
Breaking: Donald Trump's share of the U.S. vote just fell to 46.9%. He's now failed to crack 47% in either of his runs for president (for perspective, Mitt Romney got 47.2% in 2012 and Hillary Clinton got 48.2% in 2016).
The pardon power is practically unfettered: The President may generally *grant* a pardon to whomever he wants. But 1) "dangling" a pardon — offering it as an enticement for personal benefit (as detailed in Mueller Report) or 2) offering/accepting money for a pardon is a crime.
Rosa Parks sparked a movement on this day in 1955 when she refused to give up her bus seat. Today, let’s honor her legacy and the courage she embodied by living by her words: "To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try."

Biden Keeps Getting Better…His margin of 03Nov2020, Presidential Victory.
National popular vote, as of this morning:
Biden: 51.3% 81.1m votes Trump: 46.9% 74.1m votes
Trump thus will not have broken 47% in either of his elections. GOP now have only broken above 48% once in last 8 natl elections. Ds above 50% in 3 of last 4. https://t.co/5DgHir2tsX

While Trump is discussing ways to pardon his family who should have never been in the WH to begin with Kushner is going to Saudi Arabia and we have absolutely no details of the trip. Criming continues
“I have been unable to decide which is more disturbing — referring to an African American man as an ‘it,’ or marking Ebenezer and its congregation as a den of satanic influence.” https://t.co/T1fmdAGxUx
Until last weekend, the Loeffler campaign had wisely steered clear of direct attacks on Ebenezer itself. As a cultural touchstone, the storied church once led by King and his father has become — as Loeffler noted — a sacred place.
But then U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, a vanquished Republican rival now campaigning at Loeffler’s side, said this about Warnock on Saturday: “There is no such thing as a pro-choice pastor. What you have is a lie from the bed of Hell. It is time to send it back to Ebenezer Baptist Church.”
I have been unable to decide which is more disturbing — referring to an African American man as an “it,” or marking Ebenezer and its congregation as a den of satanic influence. But it is hard to walk either back — and with her silence, Loeffler has acquiesced to both.
Raphael Warnock is now being painted as a radical socialist who would lead the nation to ruin. But he once served, at Isakson’s invitation, as chaplain of the day in the U.S. Senate. Warnock was also Isakson’s guest at the State of the Union address by President Barack Obama in 2012.
Loeffler & Co. are working from a specific template — the Republican attempt in 2008 to stitch Obama, then a Democratic presidential candidate, to Jeremiah Wright, the fiery pastor of the Chicago church the Obamas attended.
If Trump spells out the specific crimes that he and his family committed in the preemptive pardons, they’ll all be confessing to those crimes by accepting the pardon. It’ll be a field day for New York State, where pardons don’t apply to state charges.
It’ll also be a field day for those who have been injured by the Trump family crime spree and want to pursue civil litigation.
Preemptive pardons are legally flimsy and could get thrown out in court. If Trump tries preemptively pardoning himself and his family without spelling out the crimes involved, it’ll make the pardons even more flimsy and thus more likely to get thrown out in court.

For some, it doesn’t seem to matter that Biden appoints Black, Latinx, Hispanic, Asian, Native Americans, Women, LGBTQIA, in his cabinet. There are some that want to *specify* who the appointment should be. Otherwise, it doesn’t count. [SMH]
I hope that Georgia Ossoff/Warnock supporters aren’t counting on GOP/tRumpers being discouraged from voting in the run-off due to tRump’s antics, rhetoric and accusations of election fraud. I, for one, am not.
I feel like the presidents recently pardoned former national security advisor calling for a military coup and martial law to overturn an election should be bigger news.

Fucking cultists. murkkkans are the most gullible people in the world.
Goodnight TOD.
The swamp corrupt Trumpers got caught in a quicksand of their🐘💩
Karma doesn’t like Ugly as some will say.
Don’t read the replies from whiners and no-hopers.
Good Morning, TODville Community…🌻☀🌞🌅☕☕🌻
Biden Keeps Getting Better…His margin of 03Nov2020, Presidential Victory.
All this, but still insisting that the election was rigged…which is the cause of the violence.
Until last weekend, the Loeffler campaign had wisely steered clear of direct attacks on Ebenezer itself. As a cultural touchstone, the storied church once led by King and his father has become — as Loeffler noted — a sacred place.
But then U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, a vanquished Republican rival now campaigning at Loeffler’s side, said this about Warnock on Saturday: “There is no such thing as a pro-choice pastor. What you have is a lie from the bed of Hell. It is time to send it back to Ebenezer Baptist Church.”
I have been unable to decide which is more disturbing — referring to an African American man as an “it,” or marking Ebenezer and its congregation as a den of satanic influence. But it is hard to walk either back — and with her silence, Loeffler has acquiesced to both.
Raphael Warnock is now being painted as a radical socialist who would lead the nation to ruin. But he once served, at Isakson’s invitation, as chaplain of the day in the U.S. Senate. Warnock was also Isakson’s guest at the State of the Union address by President Barack Obama in 2012.
Loeffler & Co. are working from a specific template — the Republican attempt in 2008 to stitch Obama, then a Democratic presidential candidate, to Jeremiah Wright, the fiery pastor of the Chicago church the Obamas attended.
If Trump spells out the specific crimes that he and his family committed in the preemptive pardons, they’ll all be confessing to those crimes by accepting the pardon. It’ll be a field day for New York State, where pardons don’t apply to state charges.
It’ll also be a field day for those who have been injured by the Trump family crime spree and want to pursue civil litigation.
Preemptive pardons are legally flimsy and could get thrown out in court. If Trump tries preemptively pardoning himself and his family without spelling out the crimes involved, it’ll make the pardons even more flimsy and thus more likely to get thrown out in court.
To their surprise, a meeting hasn’t yet happened. “But for the black community support for him, he would not be in office.”

For some, it doesn’t seem to matter that Biden appoints Black, Latinx, Hispanic, Asian, Native Americans, Women, LGBTQIA, in his cabinet. There are some that want to *specify* who the appointment should be. Otherwise, it doesn’t count. [SMH]
Indeed…
this is the reforms that were promoted..
8cantwait.org..
that have proven to have an immediate impact…
this was promoted by Pres Obama, Congressman Lewis and MsPackyetti
I hope that Georgia Ossoff/Warnock supporters aren’t counting on GOP/tRumpers being discouraged from voting in the run-off due to tRump’s antics, rhetoric and accusations of election fraud. I, for one, am not.
New post.
