Swing State Voters Look to the Future
Sarah Kerr and Natalie Reneau, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
In the days after the election, Times reporters went to four swing state
counties with some of the tightest vote margins to see how people were
feeling. The answer? Still pretty divided.
What is better?
Whatever it is it is different.
Trump will not change.

Behind Trump’s Yearslong Effort to Turn Losing Into Winning
Jim Rutenberg and Nick Corasaniti, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
Even before he was elected in 2016, Donald J. Trump was building a
conspiracy theory about voter fraud that took on new energy this year, as
his political fortunes ebbed during the coronavirus pandemic.
The will of the voters is not fraudulent.

Trump, Trying to Cling to Power, Fans Unrest and Conspiracies
Michael D. Shear, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
The president’s refusal to concede has entered a more dangerous phase as he
blocks his successor’s transition, withholding intelligence briefings,
pandemic information and access to the government.
Fear, uncertainty, and dread are over for the moment.
4
Christopher Krebs Hasn’t Been Fired, Yet
David E. Sanger and Nicole Perlroth, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
Mr. Krebs’s government agency contradicted President Trump’s false claims
that the election was rigged. At this point, Mr. Krebs, a former Microsoft
executive, still has a job.
Christopher Krebs is doing his job.

With Trench Warfare Deepening, Parties Face Unsettled Electoral Map
Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
Voters delivered a convincing victory for Joe Biden, but a split decision
for the two parties. Now Democrats and Republicans face perhaps the most
up-for-grabs electoral landscape in a generation.
A jammed electoral system and legislature is a win for the Republican party.

China Signs R.C.E.P. Trade Deal. Will Biden Follow?
Keith Bradsher and Ana Swanson, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 8 hours ago
The deal sealed on Sunday stands as a potent symbol of Beijing’s growing
economic sway in Southeast Asia at a time of uncertainty over Washington’s
economic ties with the region.
The Republican party and Trump have been foolish on trade.
Ending the foolishness will require legislation.
The U.S. Legislature is jammed.
7
When a Leader Just Won’t Go
Sarah Lyall, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 8 hours ago
Wisdom from Shakespeare to Dickens to ‘Seinfeld’ on President Trump’s long
non-goodbye.
Assassination is traditional.
Exile is more common.
Arrest and imprisonment is modern.
Trump deserves no honors.
Trump is president until noon on inauguration day.
He then becomes a trespasser subject to arrest and prosecution.

Week-end Wrap – Political Economy – November 15, 2020 by Tony Wikrent
America is an undeveloping state Trump Is Staging A Coup — Why Are Dems Not
Sounding The Alarm? David Sirota, November 10, 2020 Most ominously of all,
Republican lawmakers
in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona are already
insinuating the results may be fraudulent, even though they haven’t
produced any […]
Bernie did not win.
The Christian acts of charity
are socialist.
Socialism Is not understood after one hundred fifty years of miss education.

Biden Faces Early Test With Immigration and Homeland Security After Trump
Zolan Kanno-Youngs, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 11 hours ago
The Department of Homeland Security was molded in President Trump’s image,
and not just on immigration policy. President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.
will have work to do to remake it.
Homeland Security is an oxymoron.
It should not exist.

Largely Out of Sight in Washington, Kamala Harris Preps for White House
Michael Crowley, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 12 hours ago
Ms. Harris has barely appeared on the public radar since her acceptance
speech last Saturday in Wilmington, Del., where she declared “a new day for
America.”
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/11/16/us/joe-biden-trump
No change.

Democrats Work to Defy History in Georgia Runoffs That Have Favored G.O.P.
Carl Hulse, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 12 hours ago
The special elections were devised by white lawmakers to dilute the power
of Black voters. But those involved in earlier contests say demographic
change and Democratic energy could allow the party to finally beat the odds.
History can take no action.

Biden Asked Republicans to Give Him a Chance. They’re Not Interested.
Astead W. Herndon, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 12 hours ago
Joe Biden promised not only to win, but to “restore the soul of the
nation.” But the deep divisions that animated President Trump’s tenure show
no signs of receding.
Trump has claimed the mantle of prophecy.
13
Want a Preview of President Biden? Look to the Campaign Trail
Katie Glueck and Thomas Kaplan, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 20 hours ago
He is returning to a Washington he knows well. And the path he took to get
back offers a road map for how he’ll govern.
Biden is not Trump.
Government will continue.
14
Thousands rally in Washington as clashes erupt.
Pranshu Verma, Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Sabrina Tavernise, Zach Montague, Allyson Waller and Maggie Haberman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 21 hours ago
A million maggot march.

Giuliani adds fuel to discredited theories about voting machines.
Zach Montague, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
Giuliani does not hold elective office.
He is a mouth piece.

Full Interview On The Current Situation and the Future
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 1 day ago
I put up a couple excerpts from this interview before, but this is the full
shot. Some of it is around the election, but I redirected those questions,
generally speaking, to either discussion of the the logic of the current
situation with Covid, oligarchy and neoliberalism (which has not changed
significantly) or to what you […]
Bernie Sanders could not win.

Biden Implores Trump to Confront Surging Coronavirus Pandemic
Michael D. Shear, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
President Trump broke his near-total silence on the coronavirus on Friday
with an appearance in the Rose Garden in which he threatened to deny New
York access to a vaccine.
Trump is irrational.
18
Economic Demands Test Biden Even Before Inauguration
Ben Casselman and Jim Tankersley, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
With the recovery slowing and coronavirus cases surging, Democrats must
decide whether quick action on federal aid is more important than its scale.
The political pain belongs to the Republicans.
19
Trump Is Not Doing Well With His Election Lawsuits. Here’s a Rundown.
Emily Bazelon, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 days ago
The president has suffered a string of defeats in pursuing legal action
seeking to delay certification of his loss to President-elect Joseph R.
Biden Jr.
These suits are groundless.

Federal Prosecutors Push Back on Barr Memo on Voter Fraud Claims
Katie Benner and Adam Goldman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 days ago
The prosecutors, assigned to monitor this month’s elections, said they had
found no evidence to back any “substantial allegations” of voting
irregularities.
Barr is not to be believed.
