Seemingly fed up with the string of debunked accusations by former member of the Trump All-Star, Super Duper, Elite, Special Force Team of Legal Jeeeeeeeeniuses Sidney Powell, Dominion Voting Systems released a statement dismantling the accusations Powell has made in her Georgia court filings.

The statement gives fifteen points of fact that undermine Powell’s repeated claims that Dominion was in some way the mastermind of a massive scheme to flip votes to President-elect Joe Biden, erase votes for incumbent Donald Trump and automatically change totals to defeat Trump.

“In Powell’s error-filled document, she repeats a number of baseless allegations about Dominion Voting Systems, which she has made in public since Election Day,” Dominion stated.

The United States saw nearly 200,000 new confirmed cases of the coronavirus Friday, according to the COVID Tracking Project, the 23rd consecutive day recording more than 100,000 cases.

The day also marked more than 13 million coronavirus cases, according to the Johns Hopkins University coronavirus tracker.  It took less than one week to amass one million cases in the nation.

State data is not consistent over the holiday weekend, but per Worldometers, California was the only state to log more than 10,000 cases Friday.  Michigan also led the US with 187 fatalities, with Florida and Minnesota topping 100.

This month’s election could’ve gotten a lot uglier than it has been – which, relative to a lot of prognostications of complete anarchy during and afterward, has been pretty smooth, despite the wails of pain emanating from MAGA Land. The voters of seven cities/metros: Atlanta, Detroit, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and Phoenix really made the difference between a second term for Trump and the end of his regime – and unsurprisingly are the targets of fraud accusations in the dying throes of his presidency.

This is less frightening to talk about than it would’ve been last month, but those of us who wanted Trump gone could’ve been, well, screaming at the sky right now has things gone differently. Picture some of the worst-case scenarios coming to pass and the conversations we’d be having if Russia had successfully brought down the power grids in those cities on election day. Or armed caravans of MAGA terrorists attacked voting places there and burned hundreds of thousands of ballots, and enough of those states got tipped toward Trump as a result. Do you think the MAGA trolls be magnanimous while we cried and raged? Would they think a do-over was fair? Might they be supportive of some sort of compromise to make sure those people’s votes counted?

Claiming that it’s a move to cover the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, outgoing president Donald Trump has deployed the US Navy nuclear aircraft carrier and a fleet of support ships to the Persian Gulf, the Daily Mail reports.

The move was apparently decided before the assassination of Iranian nuclear physics professor Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi, who was believed to be leading the Iranian effort to increase uranium stockpiles and develop weapons.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration had vowed to reduce troops in Afghanistan by half, to around 2,200, and in Iraq to fewer than 3,000.  Additionally, the Trump administration has order the complete withdrawal of about 900 soldiers in Somalia, who are conducting training and counterterrorism operations.

Pundits have surmised that Trump is taking a series of controversial steps to leave the incoming Biden administration with a number of international dilemmas to deal with.

“Milwaukee County concludes its recount of the presidential election — one of two counties where Trump sought a recount in Wisconsin. The results: Biden’s lead, currently at about 20,000 statewide, grew by 132 votes” reports Washington Post correspondent Rosalind Helderman.

Joe Biden LOST every bellwether county but one…

TRAILED Clinton’s vote totals except mysteriously in 4 swing state metros…

While President @realDonaldTrump WON a historic incumbent vote total, picked up House seats.

But we are told Joe won? ⬇️https://t.co/8N5cDZ5jML

“A RESOLUTION Declaring the results of statewide electoral contests in the 2020 General Election to be in dispute. WHEREAS, Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the US Constitution empowers state legislatures, including the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to prescribe the ‘Times, Places, and Manner’ of conducting elections; and WHEREAS, Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution empowers state legislatures, including the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to direct the manner of appointing electors for President and Vice President of the United States; and WHEREAS, the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has exercised its authority to establish election administration procedures for the Commonwealth, known as the Pennsylvania Election Code” and blah blah blah. Read the rest of this bullshit here if you want.

It took the United States just six days to confirm another million coronavirus cases, as the US hit 13 million confirmed cases Friday, according to the Johns Hopkins University COVID tracker.  It had hit 12 million cases November 21st.

The US has recorded more than 3.5 million cases in November.

Former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page filed $75 million suit in US District Court against the Department of Justice, former FBI Director James Comey, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and others for obtaining a FISA warrant targeting him.

Page included the US Government, the FBI, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith, ten unspecified men and ten unspecified women as well as others in the lawsuit, claiming he was “wronged” by the renewal of a surveillance warrant granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The original FISA warrant and its initial renewal were reviewed by DoJ’s inspector general and found to be valid, but two subsequent renewals were ruled invalid due to a lack of ongoing productivity of the warrants. 

WTWO: “Rebecca Coleman, the candidate who won Vigo County’s Auditor race in the Nov. 3 election, has agreed that she is ineligible to hold office. According to a Vigo County court filing, Coleman came to that determination after consulting with her counsel. She ‘determined that she cannot successfully defend herself against the representations in Petitioner’s Amended Verified Petition to Contest Election,’ Judge Lakshmi Reddy’s court order read in part.”

“As a result, her opponent in the race, Democrat James Bramble, will continue in his position as Vigo County Auditor. As Judge Reddy’s order read in part, ‘due to her ineligibility the second highest vote getter being, James W. (Jim) Bramble, would be the duly elected Auditor of Vigo County and would be eligible to assume said office.’ Coleman was initially declared the winner with 22,152 votes, or 53% of the vote. On Nov. 12, Bramble, the current Vigo County Auditor, and his lawyer Bill Smock filed a petition claiming that Coleman was ineligible to hold the office due to two past felony convictions dating back to the late ’90s. According to Smock, Indiana law states that a convicted felon cannot hold public office.”

…Trump counsel Jenna Ellis denounced these judges as part of the "activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania" and part of a "cover up." This type of unprofessional attack undermines the case going before the Supreme Court as well as our legal system as a whole.

Reuters: “Hungary’s position on a veto of the European Union’s budget and recovery fund is ‘rock-solid’, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday, adding he did not want to seek a compromise on the rule of law issue. Orban spoke on state radio a day after Hungary and Poland said the EU could not attach rule-of-law conditions to funds unless the bloc changed its founding treaty, digging in their heels after vetoing the EU budget and a coronavirus recovery fund earlier this month.”

“The EU is investigating the nationalist governments of the two Central European countries for undermining the independence of their judiciaries and media and had sought to attach conditions to the disbursement of EU cash. Poland and Hungary responded by blocking 1.8 trillion euros worth of EU funds, including hundreds of billions due to be disbursed soon to help pull the bloc out of a double-dip recession caused by a second wave of COVID-19.”

The Washington Post reports ” The Trump administration published an analysis Friday concluding that its rule easing companies’ liability for killing birds would not cause significant environmental harm, clearing the way for it to finalize a major rollback before the president’s term ends on Jan. 20. The administration, which is racing to lock in a series of regulatory changes before President-elect Joe Biden takes office, can now publish a final rule modifying the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s interpretation of the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act as soon as Dec. 28.”

Not that hypocrisy is anything new with Trump and his crew of assholes, but few are the times when it’s this unambiguous to his fans who would weasel in some way to defend him.

.@RudyGiuliani and me on Third Circuit’s opinion:

The activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania continues to cover up the allegations of massive fraud.

We are very thankful to have had the opportunity to present proof and the facts to the PA state legislature.

On to SCOTUS!

National Zero reader Wok Your Dog submitted this lovely Thanksgiving wish to our President:

Donnie, 80 million Americans voted against you and you were defeated soundly, by one of the largest margins in a century and it’s not simply because you want to end immigration, your tariff policies, “America First” MAGA BS, or even your Orange hair.

The majority of Americans think you just don’t “get it,” that you are in way over your head, have no idea how to govern. You wanted the “job” of President so you could be the most powerful man in the world and you proved that you came into the position ill prepared, made terrible hiring decisions and fired anyone who disagreed with you.

BuzzFeed: “A federal appeals court on Friday handed another loss to the Trump campaign’s effort to undo President-elect Joe Biden’s win in Pennsylvania, with a judge – one of Trump’s nominees – writing that the campaign’s ‘claims have no merit.’ In a 3-0 decision, the US Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit rejected the campaign’s effort to get a do-over of its lawsuit challenging the election results in Pennsylvania, which a lower court had already tossed out last week.”

“‘Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here,’ Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote in a 3-0 decision from the US Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit. It was the latest setback in a string of losses Trump and Republicans in Pennsylvania – where the state formally certified the results on Nov. 24 – along with other battleground states. Biden won Pennsylvania by more than 80,000 votes, according to the tally released by the secretary of state’s office. The Trump campaign filed a lawsuit on Nov. 9 in federal court in Williamsport, claiming Pennsylvania election officials unconstitutionally violated voting rights. US District Judge Matthew Brann dismissed the case on Nov. 21, finding the campaign and the two individual Pennsylvania voters who joined as co-plaintiffs lacked standing to sue. And, Brann noted, that even if they could clear that first important hurdle, they’d also failed to back up their allegations and show that even if state officials violated the Constitution, that the right thing for the court to do was invalidate the votes of all Pennsylvanians.”

Biden can only enter the White House as President if he can prove that his ridiculous “80,000,000 votes” were not fraudulently or illegally obtained. When you see what happened in Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia & Milwaukee, massive voter fraud, he’s got a big unsolvable problem!

“Prominent Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated east of the capital Tehran on Friday, Iran’s defense ministry confirmed in a statement. Fakhrizadeh died in hospital due to injuries sustained during a shoot-out between his bodyguards and ‘armed terrorists’ Friday afternoon, the statement said. The statement described Fakhrizadeh as the head of the defense ministry’s ‘Research and Innovation Organization.’ The defense ministry did not accuse any parties of involvement” – Al Arabiya.

New York Times: “In late May, the American ambassador in Geneva, Andrew Bremberg, went on a rescue mission to the World Health Organization headquarters. He told its director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, that despite weeks of threats that President Trump would quit the health organization, the relationship could still be salvaged. Mr. Bremberg hand-delivered a list of seven demands that American officials saw as the beginning of discreet discussions. Hours later, Mr. Trump took the lectern outside the White House and blew it all up, announcing that the United States would leave the W.H.O. The announcement blindsided his own diplomats and Dr. Tedros alike. If Mr. Trump thought Dr. Tedros would relent under the pressure of an American withdrawal, he was wrong. The W.H.O. leader has refused to make concessions or counteroffers, according to American and Western officials. And Mr. Trump ultimately made good on his promise to abandon a health agency that the United States helped form a half-century ago.”

“With Mr. Trump’s election defeat, President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. appears ready to rejoin the global health body. But he will inherit a fractured relationship, and must quickly make decisions about how to overhaul an organization that even staunch supporters say is in dire need of change. While the Trump administration’s demands are now moot, they offer a glimpse into both the growing American frustration with the W.H.O. and Mr. Trump’s personal grievances. And as Mr. Biden signals a return to multinational diplomacy, the Trump administration’s demands offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the deal-making of a president who favored aggressive, unpredictable moves over more conventional negotiations.”

BIG NEWS: Pennsylvania Poll Watcher: USB Drives uploaded to machines, gave Biden thousands of votes. Says 47 USB Drives are now missing. EVERY UPLOAD GAVE BIDEN 50,000 VOTES. @OANN
