G.M. Drops Its Support for Trump Climate Rollbacks and Aligns With Biden

General Motors said it would no longer back President Trump’s effort to strip California of the power to set fuel economy standards.



WASHINGTON — General Motors turned its back Monday on the Trump administration’s legal fight to nullify California’s strict fuel economy rules, signaling that it was ready to work with President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. to reduce climate-warming emissions from cars and trucks.

The decision by Mary Barra, the General Motors chief executive, to withdraw her company’s support for Trump administration efforts to strip California of its ability to set its own fuel efficiency standards was a striking reversal. It was also a signal that corporate America is moving on from President Trump.

More specifically, it was a sign that Mr. Biden may find the auto industry amenable as he tries to reinstitute and rebuild Obama-era climate change regulations that Mr. Trump systematically dismantled, at times with the help of industry.

Trích Mỹ châu Liệt quốc:

Tại ông thất cử

Nước Mỹ có ông già kia họ Đổ, tên cúng cơm là Nàn, tính tình hay đổ tại nên người ta gọi là Đổ Tại, bất cứ lỗi lầm gì đều lấy cớ tại người này hay tại chuyện nọ để chạy tội. Đến tuổi đi quân dịch thì cũng đổ tại có tật ở chân để trốn lính.

Về già Đổ Tại đòi ra tranh cử tổng thống để bớt cô đơn tuổi hạc, ai ngờ rất nhiều người cũng có tật đổ tại hùa theo ủng hộ ào ào. Đồng thanh tương ứng, đồng mánh tương bầu. Tuy nhiên, tự biết mình bất tài đâu có thể nào đắc cử, ông Tại bắt đầu rêu rao bầu cử chắc là có gian lận nên ổng sẽ thua.

Chả biết có gian lận gì hay không nhưng lần ấy Đổ Tại bất ngờ thắng cuộc rồi thành tổng thống Mỹ. Lúc đó Đổ Tại đổ tại Trời đã trao cho sứ mạng lèo lái con thuyền quốc gia. Người ủng hộ quá vui sướng hả hê ca tụng Đổ Tại lên đến tận chín tầng mây nhưng tổng thống Đổ Tại làm ăn quá bết bát nên cứ xảy ra các vụ sì căng đan, và lần nào cũng như lần nấy vẫn cứ lấy bổn cũ ra ca: Tại A, Tại B, Tại C...

Thời gian trôi như nước chảy qua cầu... Bốn năm dồn lại nhiệm kỳ dài ghê.

Năm Canh Tý thiên hạ khắp nơi xảy ra bệnh dịch, nước Mỹ cũng không tránh khỏi. Nghĩ không ra cách kiềm chế cơn dịch nên Đổ Tại liền đổ tại phe đối lập tung tin giả để người dân hoảng sợ. Dân tình vì thế càng hoang mang, người ta vì thế càng chết như rạ, cơn dịch kéo dài mà không thuyên giảm rồi chính Đổ Tại cũng mắc dịch thật. Dân Mỹ bắt đầu đổ tại cho Đổ Tại, muốn người khác lên thay cho nước Mỹ đỡ mắc dịch.

Những dự đoán trước khi bầu cử đều bết bát nhưng Đổ Tại cứ khăng khăng đổ tại báo chí nói xạo, đưa tin giả. Quả nhiên sau khi đếm phiếu, Đổ Tại chỉ đứng hạng nhì cho nên vội vàng giở trò lăn ra ăn vạ, đổ tại bầu cử có gian lận.

Georgia's Republican Secretary Of State Says He Was 'Thrown Under The Bus' By Trump
https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/georg...165654060.html

In a USA Today op-ed published Wednesday, Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, claimed he was “thrown under the bus” by President Donald Trump when he wouldn’t help to declare Republicans the winners of elections they lost in the state.

In the article, Raffensperger commends the state of Georgia for conducting a “wildly successful and smooth election,” and he said that feat is worthy of celebration even among people whose preferred presidential candidate lost.

“For those wondering, mine lost,” Raffensperger said, referencing Trump. “My family voted for him, donated to him and are now being thrown under the bus by him.”

Last week, Raffensperger alleged Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and other members of his party urged him to unlawfully disqualify ballots cast in Georgia, a state President-elect Joe Biden won by thousands of votes.

Following Trump’s lead, Graham, Georgia Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, and other conservatives throughout the country have pushed absurd conspiracy theories about voting irregularities in the state, including a theory alleging Georgia’s voting machines were engineered to disenfranchise Trump voters.

Since election day, Raffensperger has become a pariah among conservatives for his refusal to hand Republicans victories in races they lost.

In a Nov. 14 tweet that has since been flagged as disinformation, Trump baselessly claimed Raffensperger, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, and Democrat and former gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams were allies in a scheme to “cheat” this election cycle.

A donor who gave $2.5 million to a pro-Trump group looking for election fraud wants his money back after disappointing results

Sinéad Baker

A venture capitalist who donated $2.5 million to a pro-Trump group trying to find evidence of fraud in the US election wants a refund after being disappointed with the group's efforts.

Fred Eshelman is suing True the Vote Inc., a monitoring organization in Houston, to reclaim the money.

The lawsuit says Eshelman sent $2 million to True the Vote on November 5, two days after Election Day.

At that point no winner had been called, but Joe Biden was by most tallies ahead of President Donald Trump, who had long claimed without evidence that the election was vulnerable to fraud.

The suit, first reported by Bloomberg, said Eshelman sent another $500,000 to True the Vote a week later, by which time media outlets including Insider had long called the election for Biden.

Business Insider also obtained a copy of Eshelman's complaint.

Eshelman is the founder of Eshelman Ventures LLC and used to be a pharmaceuticals executive, according to the company.

Trump has continued to claim the election was stolen, mounting a disjointed legal effort to challenge the result. He had still not conceded as of Friday morning.

The lawsuit said that Eshelman "regularly and repeatedly" asked for updates on how True the Vote was using his money and that he sought "specific and actionable updates" about True the Vote's "purported investigation, litigation, and communication efforts in key states."

But it said he was "consistently met with vague responses, platitudes, and empty promises of follow-up that never occurred."

The suit accuses True the Vote of breach of contract, and also "conversion," a legal concept linked to the misuse of someone else's property.

It said he asked for a refund, at which point True the Vote offered to return $1 million so long as he did not sue the group.

The suit said True the Vote promised to launch lawsuits in swing states, to gather whistleblower complaints about issues with the election, and to conduct "sophisticated data modeling and statistical analysis to identify potential illegal or fraudulent balloting."

True the Vote announced on November 17 that it was dropping lawsuits it had brought in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Eshelman's lawsuit said he was "not provided any specific update on the status or strategy behind those cases."

The group's president and founder, Catherine Engelbrecht, blamed "barriers to advancing our arguments, coupled with constraints on time."

She said the group was continuing to investigate issues in the US electoral system and argued that the lawsuits represented only a "fraction" of its work.

Business Insider has contacted True the Vote for comment. It did not respond to a request from Bloomberg.

The Trump campaign has filed its own lawsuits in battleground states, though it is yet to win any of them.

It also launched a hotline for people to share testimony about election fraud, but it ended up being overwhelmed with prank calls.

Trump said on Thursday that he would "certainly" leave the White House if Joe Biden won the Electoral College, which is scheduled to formally vote on December 14.

It was the closest he had come to conceding the election, though he later insisted via Twitter that he won.

In fresh blow to Trump, U.S. court rejects Pennsylvania election case

(Reuters) -A federal appeals court on Friday rejected an attempt by U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign to block President-elect Joe Biden from being declared the winner of Pennsylvania, dealing another significant setback to Trump’s bid to overturn the Nov. 3 election.

“Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so,” wrote Stephanos Bibas on behalf of a three-judge panel.

“Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here,” wrote Bibas, who was nominated by Trump.

The Trump campaign and its supporters have tried and failed to convince judges of election irregularities in Michigan, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada, all critical to Biden’s victory.

“Voters, not lawyers, choose the President. Ballots, not briefs, decide elections,” said the appeals court opinion.

“On to SCOTUS!” wrote Jenna Ellis, a Trump campaign attorney, on Twitter after the ruling, referring to a planned appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. “The activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania continues to cover up the allegations of massive fraud.”

Pennsylvania certified Biden, who won the state by 80,000 votes, as its winner this week. Under Pennsylvania law, the candidate who wins the popular vote in the state gets all of the state’s 20 electoral votes.

Trump, a Republican, has refused to concede to his Democratic rival and continues to claim, without evidence, widespread voter fraud.

But as his legal challenges to the results fail, Trump said on Thursday he will leave the White House if the Electoral College votes for Biden when it meets on Dec. 14, the closest he has come to conceding the election.

On Monday, Trump’s administration cleared the way Biden to transition to the White House, giving him access to briefings and funding even as Trump vowed to continue fighting the election results.

Biden won the election 306-232 in electoral votes, including Pennsylvania’s 20. Even if Trump overturned the outcome in Pennsylvania, he would still need to reverse the result in at least two other states to remain as president.

TIME RUNNING OUT

While Trump and his supporters continue to wage legal battles, time is running out as states as states have until Dec. 8 to resolve election disputes.

Legal experts have said the cases have no chance of success and may be aimed at undermining confidence in the election. Polls have showed a majority of Republicans believe Trump won the election and many believe the election was tainted, despite a lack of evidence.

Soon after Friday’s ruling, Trump posted a video from Newsmax on Twitter about alleged voter fraud in Nevada.

The Trump campaign filed the Pennsylvania case earlier this month, saying that county election officials had treated mail-in ballots inconsistently and asking U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann to halt certification of the results.

Some counties had allowed voters to fix minor deficiencies with their ballots, such as a missing “secrecy envelope,” while others did not.

Brann dismissed the case on Nov. 21, saying the case was based on “strained legal arguments” and “speculative accusations.”

The Trump campaign said it appealed on the “narrow” question of whether Brann improperly refused to let it amend the lawsuit a second time.

The campaign wants to add back allegations it dropped from the case, including a claim that its due process rights were violated.

The appeals court said many of the claims by Trump campaign are matters of Pennsylvania law but noted the campaign already lost on those issues in state court.

“It never alleges that anyone treated the Trump campaign or Trump votes worse than it treated the Biden campaign or Biden votes,” said the opinion. “The campaign’s claims have no merit.”

The other judges on the panel, Brooks Smith and Michael Chagares, were nominated by George W. Bush, a Republican.
