President Donald Trump is threatening to veto legislation to fund the military as one of his final acts in office unless a widely supported, bipartisan provision to rename military bases honoring Confederate military leaders is removed, according to White House, defense and congressional sources.

Since the Nov. 3 election, Trump has privately told Republican lawmakers that he won't back down from his position during the campaign that he would veto the annual National Defense Authorization Act if it includes an amendment to rename the bases.

What a guy!

[Orange Joe]

Yeah but no deal is being offered though right? I haven't heard it suggested...maybe I missed it?

yet, that is what he was suggesting/talking about.

Sen. Rick Scott has been diagnosed with Fuck Florida.

I mean he tested positive for karma.

I mean, he has COVID-19.



Couldn't have happened to DeSantis, huh? This is as good as we get?

Couldn’t happen to a nicer lizard person.

Good.

May causing another Trump Shutdown to defend racism...again...be the final chapter of the Shitshow. May he leave the White House with everyone realizing what a colossal snowflake child he is.

Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin are too good in it. I watch the whole thing when I’m depressed.

Let's get a petition going to get Covid 19 changed to Covid 45.

GAO posts a new study that Trump had 109 lawsuits (and plans for 100 more) to seize privately owned land for the Wall.

Of the 400 miles that have been built, only 15 of them are new. As in, "most people could walk that in a day" fifteen miles.

"But more was--"

I'm sure it was, past tense. Trump built fifteen miles. He shut down the government, personally costing the US eleven billion dollars, for fifteen miles.

Trump is a failure.

Speaking of failure, Trump and the rabid fanbase have repeatedly pointed to Sweden and Sweden's approach to dealing with COVID.

Dying.

Sweden has changed its mind, applying similar restrictions as the rest of EUrope. When your poster boy admits they made a mistake, you have a problem.

Well the world leaders (G20) had a summit to discuss an international response to the COVID crisis.

I already refer to it as the trump virus.

And just as one more example of how the Ignorant Trump Cult is going to continue post-Residency, we see Rush Limbaugh screaming at the Trump Legal Team for not following through on their promises, completely ignoring that it was Trump who told them to do it.

Definition of Cult Leader: Vision provider, never responsible when they bear zero fruit.

[Benggaul]

The FUCK California?!

Maybe Trumps legal team shouldn't have joined the cult, if they have a problem being called out for failing the cult.

I mean..Let's not forget cult leader Donnys own words; that he always wins, never settles. They should have been clear on the glorious leaders spotless record, and be confident in being able to keep it that way.

I'm assuming there are no numbers from them today?

The opposite. Working on the report now.

- - - Updated - - -

First, an update about yesterday:
The final tally ended up being 151,588 new cases, which was about 5k more than the previous Sunday. Pretty much what I said was gonna happen. So the streak of days with higher numbers than the previous week continues.

And now today:

172,103 new cases; about 9.5k more than last Monday. Still no Nebraska.

Top 20:

California: 17,893 new cases (new record*); 45 deaths
Ohio: 11,885 new cases (new record); 24 deaths
Texas: 10,912 new cases; 58 deaths
Illinois: 8,322 new cases; 61 deaths
Kansas: 7,002 new cases (new record); 46 deaths
Pennsylvania: 6,462 new cases; 33 deaths
Minnesota: 6,343 new cases; 24 deaths
Fuck Florida.
New York: 6,321 new cases; 43 deaths
Michigan: 5,755 new cases; 65 deaths
Washington: 5,561 new cases (new record); 36 deaths
Indiana: 5,556 new cases; 27 deaths
Connecticut: 5,271 new cases (new record); 43 deaths
New Jersey: 4,790 new cases (new record); 16 deaths
Tennessee: 4,074 new cases; 35 deaths
Missouri: 3,790 new cases; 6 deaths
Colorado: 3,689 new cases; 4 deaths
Oklahoma: 3,544 new cases; 15 deaths
Virginia: 3,242 new cases (new record); 4 deaths
Wisconsin: 3,095 new cases; 6 deaths

Wyoming was the only other state with a new record today that I noticed...1,262 new cases.

So let's talk about the elephant in the room. California set a new national record for most new cases in a single day. I'm not seeing anything about it being a correction, but I have to assume it's a correction/catch-up. California has had a few other high-total, 10k+ days the past week so they're not a stranger to being in trouble, but this is absurd. But on the other hand...

Anyone from the area that wants to correct this, please, be my guest. Otherwise I'll check in tomorrow and see if there's been anything written about it that I can access.

Several of the other new records set were also pretty huge spikes for their respective states, so I still don't think we've reached the peak of this, which really sucks because this is Thanksgiving week, so people are ignoring safety precautions and traveling all over the country and spreading this shit even further. The beginning of December we'll most likely see spikes even higher. This would be bad under any circumstances, but it's doubly bad when we're still climbing the wave rather than sliding down the back end of one. Hope a lot of you are video conferencing with your families. I already told mine that...*Elvis voice* we'll have a ZOOOOOOOM Christmas, without youuuuuuuu...

At any rate, the next few days will tell a better story of how things are going since reports will be more reliable...from everyone except Nebraska, apparently.

972 deaths is over 200 more than last Monday, bringing the total to 263,687. As expected, the 7-day average keeps heading up. Hospitalizations and new cases continue skyrocketing. You don't really need me to expound on this at this point and I don't much feel like doing it either.

GSA has told Joe Biden the transition can formally begin yet another nail in trumps presidential coffin.

But not before calling President Elect Joe Biden "Mr. Biden" with a distinct lack of respect and then lecturing him how she is both this massive patriot doing her civic duty while at the same time such a fucking victim.
