Cavalry is not here yet so what we should do is that we should make the hope of a vaccine, motivate us even more to be very very stringent and very very attentive to fundamental simple doable Public Health measures. It might be stating the obvious here but these vaccines cannot come soon enough. Monday was the third worst day ever for the spread of the coronavirus in the united states. At least 100,000 cases per day for two weeks straight. Moderna says its vaccine candidate was nearly 95 effective at blocking infection and critically here, it doesnt need to be kept at temperatures as ultra cold as pfizers vaccine does. Americans everywhere now clinging to hope with more patients in hospitals than at any time in the entire pandemic. Officials are warning the winter surge could push some medical centers to the breaking point. There is a fixed resource, not just hospital beds and protect, but also respiratory therapists, doctors, nurses, janitorial staff and when those resources get stret
The attorney general tonight says the Justice Department has uncovered no evidence of any fraud that would change the outcome of the election. Now, bill barr has been beyond loyal to trump, beyond loyal, so this is a major and public shaming of his boss who tonight continues to peddle his baseless conspiracy theories. Barr telling the Associated Press to date we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election. Even bill barr says theres no evidence of mass voter fraud. When trump has lost barr, its over. Remember, this is the same bill barr, the same attorney general who has done trumps personal bidding at nearly every turn since he was confirmed in february of 2019. He actually even opened the door to trumps Conspiracy Theory on mailin voting before the election. He has been lock step with trump on everything from lock downs to the deep state, to spying on trumps campaign. You cant do the mailin ballots. You can have tremendous fraud. I do t

Term. No president before him had ever had three inaugurations before, let alone four. The rules, of course, would be changed after fdr so no president could ever have more than two terms again. But when fdr went up for reelection in the election of 1944, november 1944, he was reelected in a landslide. Yes, he was seeking a fourth term, which was nuts, but he won 36 states. He got 432 electoral votes. His opponent didnt even crack 100 electoral votes. For the vast majority of the country, fdrs reelection was welcome, and his inauguration for a new term, which was planned for january 1945, that was something that the vast majority of people in this country, at least in concept, could celebrate. But it wasnt a great time for celebration, right . Given what was going on in the country, given what was going on in the long, long, agonizing war effort, right .

Three hours fly for you, berman. Its Christmas Eve, but that doesnt even begin to tell the story.

But if you lied to the Mueller Investigation or are related to jared kushner, merry freaking christmas and who knows what else is in store for the next 27 days. This political acid trip that kicks off this morning in maralago. Overnight, President Trump pardoned his longtime allies, Paul Manafort and roger stone, both of whom refused to cooperate with the mueller probe. He also pardoned Jared Kushners father. Republican senator ben sasse summed it up in one quote saying, this is rotten to the core. The president didnt say much, leaving washington without signing or vetoing the stimulus bill, although those actions, of course, speak volumes. Today, House Democrats will try to pass legislation giving americans the 2,000 stimulus checks P
