I know the alternative universe is saying Trump has 'em and will soon nail 'em, but I'm not holding my breath.
My print was NYT, and no big loss. The shell game saves make time because it is all the same shit.
Same shit, different article, as Biden tapped Obama-era officials for top national security and economic roles.
The Globe says the "former Massachusetts senator and secretary of state will join the Biden administration as a National Security Council official focused on climate change, the Biden transition team announced Monday," as they promote the hypocritical Kerry who says the Great Reset is needed to stop the rise of populism (not fight COVID?), and I would like to remind everyone that Kerry was the most-traveled secretary of state in all human history, leaving a massive stench of a carbon footprint. It must be because his $hit don't $tink, as we used to say.

Is an attack on Iran near?
"Israeli reports say Netanyahu met Saudi crown prince. Saudis deny it; Clashing reports about the meeting, which would be the first between high-level Israeli and Saudi leaders, show how far apart the two countries remain" by Ben Hubbard, David M. Halbfinger and Ronen Bergman New York Times, November 23, 2020
Well, someone is lying, right?
So nice to know that government leaders are so forthright with us, isn't it?
BEIRUT — A covert meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia would be a historic first, suggesting that the two countries were making progress toward establishing formal diplomatic relations, but the contradictory news on Monday about such a meeting — with unsourced Israeli media reports saying it had taken place clashing with a denial from the Saudi foreign minister — highlighted the domestic politics in each country and signaled how far apart the two countries remained from the prospect of exchanging ambassadors.
Israeli news outlets reported early Monday that Netanyahu and the head of Israel’s Mossad spy agency, Yossi Cohen, had flown to Saudi Arabia on a private jet on Sunday evening. In a meeting with Prince Mohammed in Neom, a futuristic city planned near the Red Sea coast, the three men discussed Iran, which both countries consider a threat, and the possible normalization of relations, the Israeli reports said.
Netanyahu refused to comment, but Israeli journalists close to him were among the first to report the story. Flight-tracking websites documented the jet’s trip from Tel Aviv to Saudi Arabia, and three officials close to Netanyahu alluded to the meeting’s significance, appearing to confirm that it happened.
“The fact that the meeting took place and was made public — even if it was in only a semiofficial way — is something of great importance,” Yoav Galant, the education minister, said in a radio interview. “This is something our ancestors dreamed about,” but hours after the news echoed around the world, the Saudi foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, denied that any meeting with Netanyahu had taken place, insisting that Prince Mohammed had met only with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was completing a seven-nation farewell tour.
“There was no meeting,” Prince Faisal wrote in a text message. He said that he had accompanied Pompeo throughout his visit and that “Saudi and American officials were the only ones present.”
The conflicting statements reflected different priorities: Israel and the Trump administration have promoted the idea that a diplomatic opening between Saudi Arabia and Israel is only a matter of time, while the Saudis have insisted that an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal must come first.
Netanyahu, who has often been accused of leaking reports for political gain, had ample reason to trumpet any incremental steps in building relations with Saudi Arabia. He is eager to improve his standing at home as a leader who can turn Israel’s foes into friends and to divert attention from corruption allegations.
That is why a war is needed.
The calculation is different for Prince Mohammed, who has told American visitors that he does not consider Israel an enemy but that opening official relations too quickly could inspire extremists and be used against him in a region where Israel remains unpopular.
Reports of the visit followed agreements by the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Sudan to establish formal relations with Israel, moves that the Trump administration pushed to crack a boycott of Israel by most Arab states in solidarity with the Palestinians.
Saudi Arabia played a quiet but instrumental role in aiding the Trump administration’s effort to broker the diplomatic openings between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Sudan, according to a senior Israeli official. Last month, Saudi Arabia opened its airspace to commercial flights to and from Israel, saying it had done so at the request of the Emirates. Most Arab states block such overflights as part of their boycott of the Jewish state.
The lack of significant protests in the Emirates, Bahrain, and Sudan after their agreements with Israel could also help clear the way for Saudi Arabia to follow suit, the Israeli official said.
Pushing ahead with normalization in the waning days of the Trump administration would not necessarily create problems for the incoming Biden administration. Although President-elect Joe Biden took a tough line on Saudi Arabia during the campaign, vowing to end US support for the Saudi military in Yemen and to treat the Saudis like “the pariah that they are,” analysts say he is likely to welcome further Saudi-Israeli rapprochement. It remains unclear whether his administration will push for it in the same way President Trump has or seek to use the possibility as leverage in efforts to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
It's evident that the Israelis control our foreign policy and that both parties serve them.
Opening diplomatic ties with Israel could help Prince Mohammed rehabilitate his reputation in Washington, dampening criticisms of the Saudi war in Yemen, crackdowns on activists, and the killing of the dissident Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents in Istanbul in 2018.
For Netanyahu, headlines about a possible diplomatic breakthrough, breathlessly covered by the Israeli media, provided a welcome distraction from an unwelcome story: the formation by Defense Minister Benny Gantz, a Netanyahu rival, of a government commission to investigate Netanyahu’s multibillion-dollar purchase of submarines and missile boats, an episode often described as the worst corruption scandal in Israel’s history.....

"Georgia is a purple state, but don’t expect centrist views in the Senate runoffs; The Republican candidates are spending millions on almost entirely negative ads" by Astead W. Herndon and Nick Corasaniti New York Times, November 23, 2020
PERRY, Ga. — The Republican Senate candidates in Georgia are spending tens of millions of dollars on an almost entirely negative advertising campaign, embracing a strategy of riling up the conservative base instead of reaching out to a cross-section of voters in hopes of generating enough turnout to win two critical runoff elections that will decide control of the Senate.
If the corrupt Democrats and RINOs in that state managed to steal both for Democrats, the outrageous coup will be complete and woe to all in America.
Indeed, despite President Trump’s loss here, the early days of campaigning in the runoff races look much like the months that preceded them. The incumbent Republican senators, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, have filled the airwaves with scathing attack ads seeking to paint Democrats as radicals fundamentally opposed to the country’s core principles and warning that Democratic sway over the Senate would usher in a wave of socialism.
They do a pretty good job of that themselves.
The two senators have not aired a single positive advertisement between them, and neither have two outside groups supporting them, according to the ad tracking firm Advertising Analytics. The breathless ad campaigns and demonizing of liberals reflect the stakes for the Republican Party and its voters as they try to deny Democrats total control of the White House and Congress.
If you do it the other way around the pre$$ applauds you and participates.
Perdue said last week at a rally in Perry that his Democratic opponent, Jon Ossoff, was a “trust fund socialist who lives off his family’s money making documentary movies that no one’s ever watched,” and even as he acknowledged the dark tenor of the race, he portrayed himself as a victim of the negativity, rather than a participant.
Loeffler said Democratic victories would “literally shred the fabric of what makes our country the greatest in the world.”
She was one of the Senate short sellers who cashed out just before the COVID hoax tanked the markets back in February, and Barr buried those cases.
The Senate runoff elections on Jan. 5 will determine whether President-elect Joe Biden begins his administration with a unified Congress or a divided one.
If the two Democratic candidates, Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock, win and secure a 50-50 split in the Senate, ties could be broken by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, and far more policy options would be on the table for Democrats. If Perdue or Loeffler prevail, the Republicans could stymie major legislation, but it’s how the candidates are running that has caught the eye of voters and political strategists, with an avalanche of political advertising descending on the state. The $231 million poured into television ads so far in what will be a roughly two-month runoff campaign has surpassed the spending in the entire primary and general Senate elections combined.
All the money being spent in politics while the American people have their lives and way of life destroyed.
There is no run to the center, despite Georgia’s voting for a Democratic presidential nominee for the first time in decades and proving itself to be a true battleground state. Republicans, who are the favorites in the two races, are replicating most parts of Trump’s message without him on the ballot. Democrats are seeking to build on Biden’s message of pragmatic unity and his electoral formula: a multiracial coalition powered by the state’s urban and suburban areas.
The candidates are racing furiously to motivate their own bases instead of catering to swing voters. Both parties have bet the house on turnout, not persuasion.....
Then they will fraud it up again as the Republicans play willing dupes in the game of mu$ical chairs.

Bush, former CIA director Michael Hayden, and John Negroponte, who served as director of national intelligence.

"Business leaders, citing damage to country, urge Trump to begin transition" by Kate Kelly and Danny Hakim New York Times, November 23, 2020
Concerned that President Trump’s refusal to accept the election results is hurting the country, more than 160 top American executives asked the administration on Monday to immediately acknowledge Joe Biden as the president-elect and begin the transition to a new administration.
Even one of Trump’s stalwart supporters, Stephen A. Schwarzman, the chief executive of Blackstone, the private equity firm, said in a statement that “the outcome is very certain today and the country should move on.” While he did not sign a letter sent to the administration by the other executives, he said he was “now ready to help President-elect Biden and his team.”
The writing is on the wall, huh?
Signatories to the letter included the chief executives of Mastercard, Visa, MetLife, Accenture, Carlyle Group, Condé Nast, McGraw-Hill, WeWork, and American International Group, among others. They included some of the most important players in the financial industry: David M. Solomon, the chief executive of Goldman Sachs; Laurence D. Fink, chief executive of the asset management giant BlackRock; Jon Gray, Blackstone’s president; and Henry R. Kravis, a prominent Republican donor who is the co-chief executive of KKR, a private equity firm.
Those are some heavy hitters, all right, with Accenture and Carlyle being part of the Military-Industrial Complex as the part-and-parcel Medical-Industrial Complex is being constructed next to it.
The letter was also signed by George H. Walker, chief executive of the money manager Neuberger Berman and a second cousin to President George W. Bush, and Jeff T. Blau, the chief executive of one of New York City’s largest private developers, Related Cos., who has been a major donor to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, filings show.
As a way of gaining leverage over the GOP, some of the executives have also discussed withholding campaign donations from the two Republican Senate candidates in Georgia unless party leaders agree to push for a presidential transition, according to four people who participated in a conference call Friday in which the notion was discussed. The two runoff elections in Georgia, which will take place in early January, will determine the balance of power in the Senate.
What you are looking at there is the raw power of blackmail, extortion, and threats of terrorism!
They will STEAL the SEANTE if BIDEN is DENIED!
We are dealing with SUPREME EVIL here, folks.
May God damn them for all eternity and may He let us feast on their innards in the afterlife!
In the letter sent Monday, the business leaders demanded that Emily W. Murphy, head of the General Services Administration, issue a letter of ascertainment affirming that Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris had won the election. Murphy has so far resisted calls to begin normal transition planning, which includes providing resources and money to an incoming administration as it prepares to take control.
She finally did as that pre$$ure got to her, and dare I say the BU$INE$$ EXECUTIVES are engaged in ELECTION INTERFERENCE?
Nothing has even been decided yet!
“Every day that an orderly presidential transition process is delayed, our democracy grows weaker in the eyes of our own citizens and the nation’s stature on the global stage is diminished,” the executives wrote in the letter, which was obtained by The New York Times. “Withholding resources and vital information from an incoming administration puts the public and economic health and security of America at risk.”
Meaning they f**king gave it to the NYT, and our democracy is finished if Biden assumes office and the Senate stolen.
The initiative comes as Trump has refused to acknowledge Biden as the winner, subverted the nation’s electoral process with unfounded claims of fraud, and put pressure on state Republicans to try to impede certification of the results.
It's the exact opposite, and this can not go on.
The Friday evening executive call, which included a group of about a dozen business leaders, was preceded by a meeting of Democratic state attorneys general that took place on Thursday evening, in which participants discussed what they could do to ensure an orderly transition. In the wake of that, New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, was asked to approach business leaders in her jurisdiction about the possibility of pushing the stalled transition into motion.
WTF?
What business is it of theirs?
It's out of their jurisdiction!
“She said they asked her to reach out to the New York business community,” Kathryn Wylde, the chief executive of the Partnership for New York City, said of James. Wylde took part in a call the next evening with James and the executives, who were donors to both political parties.
Does anyone smell the stench of totalitariani$m?
Wylde said James told the group that the attorneys general “thought that the New York business community” would “have influence in convincing Republicans around the country that this should be over, that the transition should be acknowledged, and that it was a frightening proposition that this would remain unresolved.”
That would be the New York business community that has fled the city and state and left it a boarded-up ghost town?
James, in a statement, said, “This isn’t about partisan politics, but about protecting our democracy.”
OMFG!
These people are literally unbelievable and incredible pieces of work.
This is true evil, everything is upside down and backwards.
C'mon, Lord, please.
Reach down and turn this evil away.
Smite it. I beg of you.
