Biden tells civil rights leaders that 'defund police' was 'how they beat the living hell out of us'
Defund the Police cost us a ton of seats and races that we should have won. I saw this in two local races where the GOP used this phrase in almost all of their ads.

'That's how they beat the living hell out of us across the country, saying that we're talking about defunding the police,' Biden said during a two-hour closed-door meeting with civil rights leaders on Tuesday, according to audio of the meeting obtained by Bad News.....
House Majority Whip James Clyburn and even former President Barack Obama have blamed the 'defund police' slogan and other 'snapp slogans' on costing them votes.
Biden insisted at the meeting 'we're not' trying to defund police, but rather 'hold them accountable' and reallocate money.
'We're talking about giving them money to do the right things,' Biden continued. 'We're talking about putting more psychologists and psychiatrists on the telephones when the 911 calls through. We're talking about spending money to enable them to do their jobs better, not with more force, with less force and more understanding.'
I agree with President Elect Joe Biden on this
Trump's effort to steal the election comes down to some utterly ridiculous statistical claims
trump has no evidence of voter fraud and so trump is trying to use "math" and "statistics" to prove case. trump is an idiot and his math does not hold up https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/09/trumps-effort-steal-election-comes-down-some-utterly-ridiculous-statistical-claims/
Now, his efforts to undermine the will of the electorate and seize a second consecutive term in office hinges upon a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a lawsuit that essentially argues that Texas is harmed by the election results in four states that flipped from red to blue last month. It is a lawsuit that people with much more legal expertise than myself have dismissed out-of-hand as ridiculous given the legal case being made. But it is also a lawsuit that makes statistical claims that are so bizarre, it falls well within my area of expertise to point out that on that rhetoric alone, its a disaster.
The lawsuits statistical case comes down to this question: How many zeros will it take for you to be sufficiently impressed that youll ignore basic logic? The author of the lawsuit appears to have settled on the number 15.
The probability of former Vice President Biden winning the popular vote in the four Defendant States Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin independently given President Trumps early lead in those States as of 3 a.m. on November 4, 2020, is less than one in a quadrillion, or 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000, it reads at one point. For former Vice President Biden to win these four States collectively, the odds of that event happening decrease to less than one in a quadrillion to the fourth power.....
If this suit is Trumps last, best hope to eke out a victory from his 2020 defeat in a tweet, Trump called it the big one it seems clear where this is all headed: To Joe Biden being sworn in as president on Jan. 20, 2021.
The Trump team throws in the towel on proving voter fraud
In the Texas voter id/voter suppression case, the state of Texas could provide no evidence of voter fraud and so the Texas voter id/voter suppresson law was largely gutted. In the Kansas proof of citizenship to register to vote case, Kobach could provide no proof of voter fraud despite putting several of of the members of trump's voter fraud task force on the stand as expert witnesses. Koback lost that case. The trump team has presented no evidence of voter fraud and now want to clam that voter fraud cannot be detected. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/10/trump-team-throws-towel-proving-voter-fraud/
The lawsuit does not claim evidence of fraud in the vote-tabulation process but rather says, The public record demonstrates a ballot-counting process replete with chaos, confusion, and partisan bias.
It also comes close to acknowledging that fraud has not conclusively been proved.
Whatever doubt there is about fraud by voters or political operatives, it says, there is no doubt that the officials of the Defendant States changed the rules of the contest in an unauthorized manner.
It is not necessary for the Plaintiff in Intervention to prove that fraud occurred, however, the suit states, it is only necessary to demonstrate that the elections in the defendant States materially deviated from the manner of choosing electors established by their respective state Legislatures.
In other words, its not saying that Trump definitely won; its just saying that supposedly illegal actions make it impossible to determine conclusively that Joe Biden did. And because of this, it apparently argues that Trump should remain president.
Its not the first time the Trump team has watered down its claims of fraud when actually faced with vouching for them in legal proceedings, as noted above. But its certainly telling that its now proactively dispatching with that question and shifting its legal argument in a completely different direction. If this was truly what happened, after all, why spend weeks talking about evidence of fraud rather than that? The reason: It wanted to prove fraud, but it couldnt. So now its doing this other thing.
In other words, trump can not prove voter fraud but wants to overturn the election because he is afraid of possible voter fraud.. this is a weak legal argument
trump's attorney is a racist idiot who did not write trumps brief

Politifact-Donald Trump has lost dozens of election lawsuits. Here's why
This is a decent summary as to why trump has lost 55 cases https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/dec/10/donald-trump-has-lost-dozens-election-lawsuits-her/
Trump and his allies have lost dozens of lawsuits seeking to overturn the election results.
Cases have been rejected because plaintiffs have failed to prove widespread voter fraud, have made errors, or faced jurisdictional problems.
Legal experts said the lawsuit filed by the Texas Attorney General asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reject electoral votes from some key battleground states is baseless and mostly highlights past rejected conspiracies.

Juanita Jean is convinced that Paxton wants a pardon from trump https://juanitajean.com/hi-donald-its-me-ken-i-need-a-pardon/
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton just filed all the proper papers with the United States Supreme Court to overturn the 2020 election.
Paxton, an outspoken advocate of President Donald Trump, claims the states flooded their people with unlawful ballot applications and ballots and ignored rules for how such ballots need to be counted, according to a press release announcing the litigation.
Trust in the integrity of our election processes is sacrosanct and binds our citizenry and the States in this Union together, Paxton said in the statement. Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin destroyed that trust and compromised the security and integrity of the 2020 election.
Now what Texas has to do with this, I dunno. But, I known for a damn guaranteed fact what Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, has to do with it. He needs a pardon, in fact a couple of them and a blank form he can use in the future, and what better way to get Trumps attention.
Paxton is currently under indictment for stock fraud and is currently being investigated by the FBI for bribery and abuse of office.
