I'm beginning to think the military is going to have to walk Trump out of the White House in January. By not allowing a transition he thinks it will make Biden look bad when he takes office and cannot get things done. The reality is the world will realize all the problems of Biden's first year are going to blamed on Trump's lack of leadership and professionalism. History is going to burn Donald Trump forever. The Republican party leadership including Mitch and Lindsay are going to wish they had stood up and said enough is enough. Look at Georgia. The population and demographics are changing and we are seeing the results. LET FREEDOM RING!!!!

Trump's national security adviser: It 'obviously' looks as if Biden won
Sean D. NaylorNational Security Correspondent,Yahoo News•November 16, 2020National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said Monday morning that it “obviously” looks as if former vice president Joe Biden has won the presidential election and promised “a very professional transition” with the incoming team at the National Security Council.
O’Brien’s remarks are the first on-the-record acknowledgment by a senior White House official that Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris appear to have won the election, a victory that foreign governments have already recognized but that President Trump has spent more than a week disputing. Although Trump appeared to acknowledge Biden’s victory Sunday by tweeting “He won,” he quickly backtracked with a tweet saying, “I concede NOTHING!”
The president’s refusal to concede defeat in the election has alarmed observers in the national security community who are concerned that delaying the transition – or not having a proper transition at all – will damage national security, but O’Brien sought to allay those fears during his remarks in the virtual DefenseOne 2020 Global Security Forum.

“If the Biden-Harris ticket is determined to be the winner, and obviously things look that way now, we’ll have a very professional transition from the National Security Council, there’s no question about it,” O’Brien said, before going out of his way to credit the incoming team. “They’re going to have very professional folks who are coming in to take these positions, many of whom have been here before and spent a lot of time in the White House in prior administrations.”
The General Services Administration, a low-profile federal agency in charge of building leases and contracting, has to date refused to sign off on an order recognizing Biden as the next president. As a result, Biden’s team has been blocked from receiving millions of dollars in funding, access to offices and other government services, that are designed to help ease the transition to a new administration.
Critics have pointed out that delaying the transition could harm government operations, particularly amid a pandemic, by blocking the Biden team from access to critical information and delaying security clearances for incoming officials.
O’Brien dismissed concerns that delaying the transition might endanger national security. “I’m old enough to remember Bush v. Gore, and the transition there didn’t start until mid-December and yet it got done,” he said. “And if we’re in a situation where we’re not going to a Trump second term, which I think people here where I’m sitting in the White House would like to see, if it’s another outcome, it’ll be a professional transition, no question about it.”
However, the 9/11 Commission highlighted the 36-day delay in starting the transition between the Bill Clinton and the George W. Bush administrations as a factor in the six-month delay in filling important national security positions, which rendered the United States more vulnerable to attack.

From the horse's mouth.... It's refreshing to read truth...
“The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people's fantasies. People may not always think big themselves. but they can get very excited by those who do. That is why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest, the greatest and the most spectacular.”
― Donald J. Trump, Trump: The Art of the Deal“One thing I’ve learned about the press is that they’re always hungry for a good story, and the more sensational the better. It’s in the nature of the job, and I understand that. The point is that if you are a little different, or a little outrageous,”
― Donald J. Trump, Trump: The Art of the Deal“But I’m a businessman, and I learned a lesson from that experience: good publicity is preferable to bad, but from a bottom-line perspective, bad publicity is sometimes better than no publicity at all. Controversy, in short, sells.”
― Donald J. Trump, Trump: The Art of the Deal“I worried about the growing opposition, but publicly my posture was to take the offensive and concede nothing to my critics. When a reporter later asked me why I got a forty-year tax abatement, I answered, “Because I didn’t ask for fifty.”
― Donald Trump, Мистецтво укладати угодкYou can’t con people, at least not for long. You can create excitement, you can do wonderful promotion and get all kinds of press, and you can throw in a little hyperbole. But if you don’t deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on.

ASEAN, China, other partners sign world's biggest trade pact
China and 14 other countries agreed Sunday to set up the world’s largest trading bloc, encompassing nearly a third of all economic activity, in a deal many in Asia are hoping will help hasten a recovery from the shocks of the pandemic.
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or RCEP, was signed virtually on Sunday on the sidelines of the annual summit of the 10-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
“I am delighted to say that after eight years of hard work, as of today, we have officially brought RCEP negotiations to a conclusion for signing," said host country Vietnam's prime minister, Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
“The conclusion of RCEP negotiation, the largest free trade agreement in the world, will send a strong message that affirms ASEAN’s leading role in supporting the multilateral trading system, creating a new trading structure in the region, enabling sustainable trade facilitation, revitalizing the supply chains disrupted by COVID-19 and assisting the post-pandemic recovery,” Phuc said.
The accord will take already low tariffs on trade between member countries still lower, over time, and is less comprehensive than an 11-nation trans-Pacific trade deal that President Donald Trump pulled out of shortly after taking office.
Apart from the 10 ASEAN members, it includes China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, but not the United States. Officials said the accord leaves the door open for India, which dropped out due to fierce domestic opposition to its market-opening requirements, to rejoin the bloc.
It will take time to fully assess exact details of the agreement encompassing tariff schedules and rules for all 15 countries involved — the tariffs schedule just for Japan is 1,334 pages long.
It is not expected to go as far as the European Union in integrating member economies but does build on existing free trade arrangements.
The deal has powerful symbolic ramifications, showing that nearly four years after Trump launched his “America First" policy of forging trade deals with individual countries, Asia remains committed to multi-nation efforts toward freer trade that are seen as a formula for future prosperity.
Ahead of Sunday's RCEP “special summit" meeting, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said he would firmly convey his government's support for “broadening a free and fair economic zone, including a possibility of India’s future return to the deal, and hope to gain support from the other countries.”
The accord is also a coup for China, by far the biggest market in the region with more than 1.3 billion people, allowing Beijing to cast itself as a “champion of globalization and multilateral cooperation" and giving it greater influence over rules governing regional trade, Gareth Leather, senior Asian economist for Capital Economics, said in a report.
China’s official Xinhua News Agency quoted Premier Li Keqiang hailing the agreement as a victory against protectionism, in remarks delivered via a video link.
“The signing of the RCEP is not only a landmark achievement of East Asian regional cooperation, but also a victory of multilateralism and free trade,” Li said.
The agreement is expected to help China, Japan and South Korea finally reach a trilateral free trade deal after years of struggling to bridge their differences.
Now that Trump’s opponent Joe Biden has been declared president-elect, the region is watching to see how U.S. policy on trade and other issues will evolve.
Analysts are skeptical Biden will push hard to rejoin the trans-Pacific trade pact or to roll back many of the U.S. trade sanctions imposed on China by the Trump administration given widespread frustration with Beijing's trade and human rights records, and accusations of spying and technology theft.
Critics of free trade agreements say they tend to encourage companies to move manufacturing jobs overseas. So, having won over disaffected rust-belt voters in Michigan and western Pennsylvania in the Nov. 3 election, Biden is “not going to squander that by going back into TPP," Michael Jonathan Green of the Center for Strategic and International Studies said in a web seminar.
But given concerns over China's growing influence, Biden is likely to seek much more engagement with Southeast Asia to protect U.S. interests, he said.
The fast-growing and increasingly affluent Southeast Asian market of 650 million people has been hit hard by the pandemic and is urgently seeking fresh drivers for growth.
RCEP originally would have included about 3.6 billion people and encompassed about a third of world trade and global GDP. Minus India, it still covers more than 2 billion people and close to a third of all trade and business activity.
The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, the retooled version of the North American Free Trade Agreement under Trump, covers slightly less economic activity but less than a tenth of the world's population. The EU and Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership, the revised version of the deal Trump rejected, also are smaller. RCEP includes six of the 11 remaining CPTPP members.
India balked at exposing its farmers and factories to more foreign competition. Among other concerns, Indian dairy farmers are worried about competition from New Zealand and Australian milk and cheese producers. Automakers fear imports from across the region. But overall the biggest fear is over a flood of manufactured goods from China.
Trade and investment flows within Asia have vastly expanded over the past decade, a trend that has accelerated amid feuding between the U.S. and China, which have imposed billions of dollars’ worth of punitive tariffs on each other’s exports.
The RCEP agreement is loose enough to stretch to fit the disparate needs of member countries as diverse as Myanmar, Singapore, Vietnam and Australia. Unlike the CPTPP and EU, it does not establish unified standards on labor and the environment or commit countries to open services and other vulnerable areas of their economies.
But it does set rules for trade that will facilitate investment and other business within the region, Jeffrey Wilson, research director at the Perth USAsia Center, said in a report for the Asia Society.
“RCEP, therefore, is a much-needed platform for the Indo-Pacific’s post-COVID recovery," he wrote.
ASEAN members include Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam.

Saw the Moderna results this a.m.....great news for all of us.
GO RV, then BV
I am in a wait and see mode... Moderna has never done anything but sell stock... I hope they are on track, but it will take more than a press release to convince me to run out and get a shot... JMHO

Perhaps we'll flip sides on this one.....
Pfizer is still a question mark for me. As I understand it the vaccine is administered during 2 shots over a number of days.....it also has to be stored at a temperature of minus 80 Farenheit.....seems that might be an issue from factory to patient.....
Moderna?.....still researching....
Don't get me wrong....I hope this stuff works.....I have less faith in this......than that the election will be determined as contested by the courts....JMO. CL
Actually I don't think a few months is nearly enough time to know the effects or possible side effects of any drug. We've seen too many times drugs get approved only to see them become a problem years later. To administer a drug to millions of people who are not sick could be a big problem down the road.
I read somewhere politicians should get the vaccine first. If it works that saves America. If it doesn't work, that saves America even more!!!

That is correct, however.. .
All of these swing States in question are pretty blue with the exception being Georgia.....and the citys like Philly and Detroit bleed blue.... Lower Courts such as District Courts have Judges elected by the local community.
Isn't it logical that these lower courts Judge against Trump.....and it's just as logical that the Trump Attorneys appeals those decisions to the next higher court.....
All this MSM BS about Trump losing in Court is how the process works...the higher Courts as a rule show less bias....
Eventually the system plays out...the Courts will see this for what it is......and some common sense will prevail..
And if this election cycle runs out/long...there are provisions for that......
The Courts could declare it as a contested election....and a contingent election would be held in Congress.......or even if the process was allowed to run on.... The Speaker of the House could then be named as the acting President on Jan 20th until things are sorted out...
Crazy mess.....but really time to address and fix the problems........CL
I like your post. And with Georgia doing a by-hand recount it will be very interesting to see how that turns out. If Georgia does indeed end as a win for Biden, that will be a huge statement about the change in both parties... And then the senate race... That is getting more ugly by the minute...

I did notice that but when is the last time Joe got on camera to answer any real questions about his family’s pay for play business.
I was only noting that he like every president suffers rapid aging... Clinton, W and Obama experienced the same thing.

NOTHING EXCEPT GLOAT, BRAG, AND RUB it in to 72 million people who voted for President Trump and the members on this site.
They learned from the best... Or have you forgotten the venom spewed on this site since 2016? Trump supporters on this site have been the biggest gloaters, braggers and rubbed it in everyday. I'm surprised to see you of all people whine. The election is over, time to turn the page and move forward. JMHO

Donald Trump attempted to have it both ways Friday as far as election security is concerned.
The president was happy to take credit for holding an election that the Department of Homeland Security called the “most secure in American history” while still insisting it was “rigged.”
Yes. He seriously said that. Here’s the tweet.
“For years the Dems have been preaching how unsafe and rigged our elections have been. Now they are saying what a wonderful job the Trump Administration did in making 2020 the most secure election ever. Actually this is true, except for what the Democrats did. Rigged Election!”

This is a moment in history that will change the future. The flip on who are the whiny snowflakes and are demonstrating total weakness is simply amazing. 4 years ago the Republicans were the tough crowd, now they are just pathetic.
