I note the Israeli government hasn't even bothered to issue a statement denying it.

Supreme Court slaps down Republican efforts to block Pennsylvania certification. Looks like a fairly complete rejection of Trump BS.

Jenna Ellis has it. Karma's a bitch.



"The source said White House aides have been informed that she has contracted the virus, but that Ellis has not been forthright with White House officials about it."



Maybe she believes it's a hoax?

An important legal opinion ...


The Washington Post - Michael Flynn judge says pardon doesn’t mean ex-national security adviser is innocent


today



A federal judge dismissed Michael Flynn’s prosecution Tuesday after President Trump’s pardon, but said the act of clemency does not mean the former national security adviser is innocent of lying to FBI agents about his talks with the Russian government before Trump took office.


In formally ending Flynn’s three-year legal saga, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan said he probably would have denied the Justice Department’s controversial effort this year to drop the case, which Democrats and many legal experts said appeared to be an attempt by Attorney General William P. Barr to bend the rule of law to help a Trump ally.


Sullivan expressed deep skepticism about the Justice Department’s stated reasons for abandoning the case, criticizing it for applying a different set of rules to Flynn, who twice pleaded guilty to lying about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador during special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe of 2016 election interference. 


The judge also said he was troubled by the government’s “dubious” rationales as well as aspects of its “ever-evolving justifications” that ignored applicable law, appeared to be irrelevant or to contradict prosecutors’ previous statements.


President Trump’s decision to pardon Mr. Flynn is a political decision, not a legal one. Because the law recognizes the President’s political power to pardon, the appropriate course is to dismiss this case as moot,” Sullivan wrote, adding: “However, the pardon ‘does not, standing alone, render [Mr. Flynn] innocent of the alleged violation.’ ”...




Umm I thought you have to be guilty to be pardoned by definition

kingdragonfly: Trump seems to hire illegal aliens quite a bit, but this is ridiculous.

Jewish Press Former Head of Israel’s Space Program: The Aliens Asked Not To Be Revealed, Humanity Not Yet Ready

Prof. Haim Eshed served from 1981 to 2010 as the head of Israel’s security space program and over the years received the Israel Security Award three times, twice for confidential technological inventions. So if he went nuts, and this possibility is always open, it had to have happened over the past decade. And the reason we think the good professor may have lost his marbles has to do with an interview he gave 7 Days, the Shabbat edition of Yedioth Aharonoth, Israel’s largest circulation for-pay newspaper, in which he says, “The aliens have asked not to announce that they are here, humanity is not ready yet.”

Prof. Eshed told Yedioth, among other things:

"The UFOs have asked not to publish that they are here, humanity is not ready yet. Trump was on the verge of revealing, but the aliens in the Galactic Federation are saying: Wait, let people calm down first. They don’t want to start mass hysteria."

"...They signed a contract with us to do experiments here. They, too, are researching and trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe, and they want us as helpers. There’s an underground base in the depths of Mars, where their representatives are, and also our American astronauts..."



Sounds satirical?

Re-reported by a couple of sources. He wouldn't be the first scientist / astronaut to insist we've already been contacted.

If someone wants to start a "other topics" thread about the possibility of UFO contacts, feel free.

Remember bipartisan votes?  Here is a rare example :

 

The Washington Post - Defense bill clears House with veto-proof majority, despite Trump threats

 

today

 


The House on Tuesday passed a bipartisan, $741 billion defense authorization bill by a sizable veto-proof majority, throwing down the first of two expected gauntlets before President Trump, who has escalated his threat to scuttle the legislation.

 

The 335-to-78 vote represents a much bigger margin of victory for the bill than the House mustered for an earlier version of the legislation this summer. 

 

It is also a sharp rebuke to Trump’s exhortations to Republicans to vote against the measure: Fewer than half of the GOP lawmakers who opposed the initial defense bill over the summer voted against the bipartisan compromise Tuesday. ...

Actually, it's relevant here. Hasn't Trump claimed he lost because illegal aliens voted?

Fred99: ... Rudy's "star witness" - and this is verbatim - what this half-witted conspiracy theorist Melissa Carone actually said in a court hearing, Rudy by her side:

 

"Like, a lot of people think all Indians look alike. I think all Chinese look alike. So how would you tell? If some Chow shows up, you can be anybody and you can vote."

 

 


Guess who ?  😏

breaking



The witness Mellissa Carone
  • appeared very drunk during testimony

  • was not "sworn in" (to declare under oath that one will tell the truth)

  • is an "ex-from-hell:" she harnessed her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend for two years.

  • one form of harassment was "anonymously" sending his new girlfriend old sex videos of her and her ex

  • initially testified she did not send videos, which begs the question "how many people have access to your sex videos?"

  • the police quickly determined it came from her computer, based on IP address

  • pleaded guilty of a misdemeanor
So maybe not the best witness. Nicest police arrest photo I've ever seen.

You couldn't make this stuff up. The great thing about Giuliani is the completely over the top way he keeps shooting himself in the foot. Everything he does, from his inebriated witnesses to his incoherent judicial arguments, to his parking lot press conferences, to his dripping hair dye, is pure circus clown comedy gold. He surely deserves some kind of award for sheer bumbling entertainment value incompetence. Like Trump says, he picks all the best people!

It's funding for the US military. No-one in politics in the US is going to vote against that, nothing to do with bipartisanship.

 

 

Which is also why it's so popular to attach riders for your own pet projects to it, because it's guaranteed to pass.
