You keep ignoring that she conceded the election.


I haven't

I also haven't equated the circumstances of the 2 elections.

You continually equate them with comments about her having contested it (which she did not) and her claims to have had it stolen, without context.

IOW, you lie.
Lying is willful.  Have you ever considered the possibility probability that Kid is too dumb to figure out the difference in the circumstances.

I accept that.

He still lies.

On Nov. 10, Shanghai confirmed one new Covid-19 case involving a 51-year-old man who works as a cargo handler at Pudong Airport, the first locally transmitted case in the financial hub in nearly five months, authorities said Monday.

The case appeared as Shanghai is hosting the China International Import Fair (CIIE), a huge trade expo that China is promoting as a major step toward further opening up its economy. The event started Nov. 5 and is set to end Tuesday.

So how did Shanghai react to one case?
Quote
All the nucleic acid tests of the 8,717 contacts and 524 environmental samples related to the confirmed case returned negative results, Shanghai’s health authority announced Tuesday.

What precautions at the Expo?
Quote
To guarantee the safety of the CIIE, all participants must undergo nucleic acid testing and inspection to be admitted into the event, and thorough disinfection of key areas such as entry points to the city, accommodation areas and expo venues must be carried out.

Passengers Arriving by Plane?
Quote
Shanghai is adopting closed-loop management and requires a full traceability chain to prevent imported COVID-19 cases. All inbound travelers are required to submit their health condition, take nucleic acid tests and measure their body temperatures upon arrival, and are subject to a 14-day quarantine.

The quarantines take place at gov't approved hotels, where you aren't even allowed to receive restaurant food delivery. 

Not all Countries Welcome
Quote
China has suspended the entry of non-Chinese nationals from at least 10 countries including Italy, Russia, and India due to the worldwide coronavirus resurgence.

Previously Indian nationals were required to have 3 negative tests within 36 hours of their flight.  2 negative anti-body test and a more sensitive test (I forget which). This after a couple dozen Indians were positive upon arrival to China in October.

Wayne County and Detroit may prove to be tough sledding for Trump to find enough ‘irregularities’ to do anything more than waste time.

As the virus rages unabated across the land the President and his crew are wasting time wh8ning about an election they already lost.

There is no electoral defeat Red won't spin as a win.

I was just perusing  Red's book, "Killing History". Here are some things I learned.

Hindenberg disaster. Nobody died. That film was created by the airline industry to wipe out competition.

Titanic? A boon for the shipbuilding industry and helped accelerate aviation's development, and there was no proof that anyone perished. A total sailors' tale that anyone died.

Pearl Harbor? Never happened. FDR made the whole thing up to get us into a needless war.

Waterloo? Napoleon kicked ass! Then he retired to his favorite island, Corsica to rest.

Jim Crow? The name given to the laws that allowed black folks to vote in the Reconstructed South.

The Red Sox won the 1986 World Series. They know that. You don't.

The Black Plague was a total invention used to sell Shakespeare's works.

Atilla the Hun was a peacekeeper helping to secure Europe's freedom.

Viet Nam was a total victory for the USA. General Westmoreland told us that, dummies.

Julius Caesar was actually not assassinated. The Ides of March actually refer to the day that Caesar invented his famous salad that we still eat today. Brutus was helping him in the kitchen that day and cut Caesar accidently with a kitchen knife, but acted quickly to stem the bleeding. Caesar, who wanted to retire in secret, then convinced Brutus to spin his yarn about an assassination, while Caesar headed off to the French Riviera, quietly living out his final days dining on escargot and drinking fabulous Cote de Rhones.

The Great Fire of Chicago was when only one house burned down. The Democrats then used that as an excuse to launch urban reform and destroyed the houses of innocent Republicans as they worked block by block to put in their shadowy archictecture.

San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 was a total fabrication, and the one in 1989 was created by MLB. They were being paid to shake the cameras at the A's Giants game, and the players were paid extra to pretend they were experiencing an earthquake. It was all designed to embarrass George H. W. Bush. Fay Vincent was carrying out Paul Giamatti's wishes for honoring his dad, who hated Bush because he thought he was an embarrassment to Yale University.


It's fascinating reading.

This is a book I would read.

Donahue is a powerful guy, UNO

Out of his league though, currently.

What league is he out of?

The League of Ignorance? The League of Lunacy?

And who made you Commissioner, btw?

Speaking of Detroit;

Kelly Stamford has had it with living in the dictatorship called Michigan ruled by the tyrant governo and her Covid19 restrictions.

I know life is tough for her family and the constant pressure they feel because hubby makes $27 million a year and has yet to win one damn playoff game with the Lions.

So. The only elementary school students learning IN a school classroom these days in New York City attend private, Catholic, or Charter schools. If you are a public school student  you are subject to at-home learning.


The party of science has suddenly decided not to follow the science,” New York City assemblyman Joseph Borelli told Fox News. "The harm this is doing to children is going to be irreparable.”

Even the New York Times admits Trump was right and democrats are wrong on this issue.

Some things are true even though President Trump says them," Columnist Nicholas Kristof began. "Trump has been demanding for months that schools reopen, and on that he seems to have been largely right. Schools, especially elementary schools, do not appear to have been major sources of coronavirus transmission, and remote learning is proving to be a catastrophe for many low-income children."

"Yet America is shutting schools — New York City announced Wednesday that it was closing schools in the nation’s largest school district — even as it allows businesses like restaurants and bars to operate. What are our priorities?" Kristof asked, later insisting shutting down schools "should be the last resort."

Sad.
Sadder too is we can expect Biden to revert back to the democrat coddling of teachers’ unions. Not a good sign for public education.

Australia signed a trade agreement with Japan...China was outraged.
Australia just signed a defence pact with Japan...China is even more outraged, and has threatened to make Australia pay, even more than it has already.
China has sent Australia a list of 14 grievances it has with Australia.
ScoMo said he will not be playing China's game.
One day Australia might retaliate, instead of just allowing itself to be bullied, insulted, and abused.

Ooh, ooh! I know! Australia can retaliate by sending a list of 15 grievances that it has with China!!

It can.
Big waste of time though.
One grievance China has is "Foreign Investment"...seems ScoMo and Co have become more strict with foreign ownership rules as demanded by the People.
Retired no1 radio host: "Foreign investment is welcome, foreign ownership should not be allowed".
Would Australia be allowed to buy and own the water, electricity, dairy, agricultural industries in China?

its so much easier to coddle billionaires and a few Russian oligarchs.

They pay you hundreds of millions and you coddle them with tax breaks and benefits worth hundreds of billions and satisfaction of destroying our democracy.


Red mourns for the coming loss of Betsy "let them drink Dom" DeVos steady hand guiding the educational path of our young white and Christian children.

Trump has made it abundantly clear that he doesn't give a shit about transmissions and people getting infected.

In Jean Edward Smith's biography of George W. Bush, he wrote about what President Bush thought of President-elect Obama during the transition period.
On page 650, it states:
“As part of the presidential transition, Barack Obama asked Bush if it would be possible for him to meet all the ex-presidents. Bush was happy to oblige, and organized a White House luncheon in the Oval Office on January 7. Bush and Obama were joined by Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George H. W. Bush. The luncheon lasted over two hours, each former president ordered his lunch à la carte from the White House mess, and the tone was convivial and friendly. “All the gentlemen here understand both the pressures and possibilities of this office,” said Obama before the meeting. “For me to have the opportunity to get advice, good counsel and fellowship with these individuals is extraordinary, and I just want to thank the President for hosting us.”
Bush was equally effusive. “We want you to succeed,” he replied. “Whether we're Democrat or Republican we care deeply about this country. And to the extent we can we look forward to sharing out experiences with you. All of us who have served in this office understand that the office transcends the individual.”

Signs posted at the entrance to the grocery store in northwest Montana told customers to wear a mask. Public health officials in Flathead County urged the same. Infection rates here are among the highest in the state. Infection rates in the state are among the highest in the United States.

And still, Craig Mann walked out of the grocery store, past the signs and toward his truck, maskless and resolute.

The pandemic that everyone's talking about?

"It's absolute garbage," he said. "There has been plenty of proof that the coronavirus 'pandemic,' if you will, links back to communist China. It's communist Marxism that they're trying to push on this country."
