Supreme Court declines to take action on Trump’s Pennsylvania appeal prior to certification of Biden win

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/supreme-court-declines-to-take-action-on-trumps-pennsylvania-appeal-prior-to-certification-of-biden-win/

“The Trump campaign had hoped that the Supreme Court would hear the case prior to Pennsylvania’s certification of the 2020 election.

But on Monday, the court’s regular order list for its November 20 conference did not include any action on the case.”

Non tax-deductible mind you.

I wonder what ever happened to Mickey Mouse and the dead guy.

Here is a link to LaRouche Publications. On the top left hand corner you have his biography and underneath that EIR Online and underneath that you have EIR archive. EIR Archive contains every EIR published from 1973 (??) to the present. You can go to 1987 and it should be fairly easy to located this Fake News story that  Russia (in 1987 it would be the Soviet Union) was grooming Trump for the White House. Would you care to make a wager that you cannot produce any such "writings"? This (1977-1989) was the period of the fight around SDI the strategic Defense Initiative announced by Reagan on March 23, 1983. The SDI had been the conception of Lyndon LaRouche , an idea of using beam weapons to make nuclear weapons obsolete. 

There must be 24 issues of EIR from 1987 and each issue has a table of contents. I'm betting you dont take the bet. On the good side EIR archives are a real source of information and insight and best of all it's free.

It wasn't LaRouche, but it was an article by Kathleen Klenetsky in LaRouche's Executive Intelligence Report from July 14, 1987. (Same thing). 

"The Soviets are reportedly looking a lot more kindly on a possible presidential bid by Donald Trump, the New York builder who has amassed a fortune through real=estate speculation and owns a controlling interest in the notorious, organized-crime linked Resorts International.

"Trump took an all-expense paid jaunt tot he Soviet Union in July to discuss building the Russians some luxury hotels."

In my opinion, Donald Trump needs to be impeached before January 20, 2021.

In addition to being removed from office, the Senate can also vote to forbid the official from ever holding public office again.

 

The GOP will never vote to close the door on him like that, even if he doesn't run again.  The party can't afford to alienate his base of magazine-loading "Fundamentalists" who don't understand religious heritage, and internet-informed militants who can't define socialism.  Trump would have to be caught in deeds of Falwell, Jr. proportion to make the GOP turn him out forever - and even Jr. will be angling for redemption and return.

To say this again, don't underestimate how Trump's appeal is like that of the Southern plantation slaveholder class to the poor Southerners who fought the Civil War: if these types could get rich in America and own slaves, then every land-grubbing farmer could do it, and damn anybody who questions morals and ethics.  You don't have to live below the Mason-Dixon Line to fall for that one.  It's why the Confederate flag was so popular a symbol of populist rebellion in the North, until curtailed.

Sydney Powell, that woman looks absolutely bizarre! A plot involving Hugo Chavez? Very conspiracy cool!

Was she another Wheeler idol?

Guitar Center files for Chapter 11. My God!

"The company's primary owner, Ares Management Corporation, as well as new equity investor Brigade Capital Management and a fund managed by The Carlyle Group will help finance Guitar Center through bankruptcy."

The Carlyle group, the dreaded pro defense group we've heard dirt about since the 70's is funding, Sex, Drugs and R&R??   Ok, maybe it's only R&R now.

I remember doing a little research on them a couple of years ago and they are hardly a behemoth stock. They largely suffered during the Obama years and started shooting up in the Trump years.

A free Les Paul to every Republican and Independent who owns an assault rifle.  Molly Hatchet will rise again!

Dave, I went to buy a Les Paul about 12 years ago, at the Guitar Center.. I tried a number of guitars at the suggestion of a friend of mine who worked there. The Les Paul was very heavy and sort of hard to play. I found a Paul Reed Smith, PRS, which played really well and seemed  as light as a ukelele.  I couldn't believe they could get that great a sound, with that kind of actiont out of such a light instrument. But it was $450 more than the Les Paul. I decided I didn't want a Les Paul anymore. I put a bid in on the PRS, to buy it at the price I was going to pay for the Les Paul.

About 3 months later, I was phoned by my friend, they decided to clear it before the end of the fiscal quarter,  and told me I could have it at my price! I've never regretted it!

The Guitar Center prices on Gibson Les Pauls never really dropped significantly, even during the Great Recession.

It's like waiting for a sale on Macallan scotch.

Right-Wing Social Media Finalizes Its Divorce From Reality

Fox News acknowledged Trump’s loss. Facebook and Twitter cracked down on election lies. But true believers can get their misinformation elsewhere.

I actually saw them in 1975, opening for the Rolling Stones.

In comedy terms, "free Les Pauls" is funnier than "Stratocasters."

    Speaking of Stratocasters, I bought a Mexican made Strat at Guitar Center many years ago for about $200.  It's identical to the American-made Strats at a fraction of the price.

    Several years later, my wife and I went on a cruise to San Diego and Catalina that had a port of call at Ensenada, in Baja California.  I wanted to visit the Fender guitar factory down there, (to buy a Tele) but I couldn't find any information about location, tours, etc.  Fender didn't even want people to know that they had a factory in Ensenada.
