As I mentioned in the USA Politics thread, Trump's team apparently tried to book the Four Seasons (luxury hotel) for a press conference, but accidentally booked Four Seasons Landscaping instead. 'the Four Seasons Hotel sent out its own tweet, making sure everyone knew that the news conference would not be held there but rather at the landscaping business that has "no relation with the hotel" [...]

[...] the parking lot of a landscaping business in the outskirts of the city in an industrial part of town was a drab backdrop for a news conference by a president who wanted to convince Americans he still had a chance of winning. And making matters even stranger[...]

"Four Seasons Total Landscaping. Next to Fantasy Island Adult Books. Across the street from the Delaware Valley Cremation Center. Between the fire extinguisher and yellow hose."'

According to data compiled through a health-tracking device designed in Finland, Americans lost a total of 138 million hours of sleep on election night. [Note: probably not a representative sample. (Though it was possibly worse....)]'

'Russian Media Is Angry and Desperate Over Biden Win

"What is the world coming to?"

Pro-Kremlin news anchors, pundits and experts have long dreaded former Vice President Joe Biden's victory in 2020, having described it as "the worst scenario for Russia." As their nightmare became an inevitable reality, Russian state television shows were permeated with angry faces and raw emotions.

"Nothing will ever be the same... What are we witnessing? What is the world coming to? Not only this country, but the world?" mournfully asked Evgeny Popov, the host of Russian state media show 60 Minutes. Panelists in the studio grimly outlined the bevy of consequences Biden's presidency may mean for the Kremlin.

[...] "Trump is ours, but couldn't lift anti-Russian sanctions because of the legislation signed into law by Democrats."

[...] "[Trump] didn't even come here. All U.S. presidents came to Russia and invited our president to their place in Washington, everyone except him. Donald Trump did not come to Moscow and never invited our president to Washington. all we are left with are bad memories."'

'Natural News[...] did not immediately pounce on the Pfizer news, but did publish two faux-news articles claiming that COVID vaccines might be ineffective and that child predators were going to coax children into vaccination in a bid to legally steal them from their parents.

Vaccine opposition has historically drawn from isolated, conspiratorial communities. One of the earliest anti-vaxx icons was Wilbur Glenn Voliva, a self-proclaimed theocrat who ran a dictatorial, Flat Earth-believing Illinois religious community in the early 1900s. Voliva, who ran newspaper advertisements for sermons against vaccination, also claimed that he would live to 120 because he lived on a strict diet of Brazil nuts and buttermilk. (He died of heart and kidney diseases considerably before reaching 120. He was nearly blind and also had diabetes.)

[...] White supremacist news sites now promote anti-vaccination content, which gets shared across more innocuous anti-vaxx Facebook groups.'

The elections board said the ballot was returned, and it was received on Nov. 2. It was marked "recorded," though reports said it was unclear whether that means the ballot had officially been tallied.

"My parents are not people who do voter fraud," the woman's daughter, who helped her mother fill in her ballot application before she died said. "My parents aren't people who break the law. My dad never even paid a bill late in his life."

The woman said she asked her father, who is 77, if he had returned the ballot, but he could not recall. She added that her mother did not keep up with politics, but she had planned to vote for Trump.'

'Fox sinks as speculation grows around Trump looking to "wreck" it with rival operation

Fox is dragging on media stocks this morning (FOX -5.1%, FOXA -5.5%) amid the prospect of finding President Trump - formerly its highest-profile backer - as a potential new rival.

Speculation that a post-presidential Trump would move into media (a kind of "Trump TV") has been longstanding, but it's come into focus today even as Trump pursues legal challenges to the U.S. election, called for President-elect Joe Biden.

[...] Trump has commented to friends he wants to "wreck" Fox News through a digital media company.

He's been vocal about what he sees as Fox's insufficient loyalty, most recently including Fox's early call of Arizona's vote for Biden. On the network's own air, he told Fox & Friends that "Fox has changed a lot."'

'Bolsonaro so popular in Brazil that over 70 election candidates have borrowed his name

Running for office in Brazil's municipal elections this weekend are, in no particular order, Adilson Bolsonaro, Aldo Bolsonaro, Angela Bolsonaro, Fernanda Bolsonaro, Zezinho Bolsonaro, Junior Bolsonaro, Maclaiten Bolsonaro, Cabo Ramos Bolsonaro and Wesley Bolsonaro.

None of them are related to the president, Jair Bolsonaro – and in fact none of them are actually even named Bolsonaro. But in a sign of just how wildly popular his Trumpian brand of conservative politics is in many parts of the Brazilian hinterland, scores of candidates are tacking Bolsonaro onto their registered names appearing on ballots this Sunday. In all, more than 70 politicians have adopted it.

"His popularity is growing every day," said Jair Sousa Silva, a former evangelical pastor who is running under the name Jair Bolsonaro for a city council seat in a town in the Amazon. "When I'm asking for votes from my brothers of faith, I'm known as Brother Jair, Pastor Jair, and also Jair Bolsonaro."

The few exceptions are family members who are running in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, including Carlos Bolsonaro, the president's son, who is seeking re-election as a Rio councilman.'

'Despite going all in on his support for Donald Trump, SoundCloud rapper Lil Pump didn't bother to vote in the 2020 presidential election.

[...] Pump also stated he would be "paying an extra 33 in taxes" with Biden as president. While Biden's tax plan is expected to raise taxes on Americans making over $400,000, it's unclear where he's getting this idea of an "extra 33" from.'

'How Trump's Voter Fraud War Room Became a Fart-Infused "Room From Hell"

The president's campaign built a tip line that left its own staff feeling traumatized, then hung out to dry by Team Trump.

[...] When the room first opened for business, staffers worked in rotating shifts, from 7 a.m. ET to 1 a.m. the following day, a source with knowledge of the matter said. No complimentary food was regularly provided. And the phones were constantly ringing in the dreary, dull hell-space, like a scene out of the movie Boiler Room.

[...] the hotline was inundated for nearly a week by crank callers impersonating public figures such as Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani, anti-Trump callers launching into vulgarity-laden tirades, pranksters making sounds of flatulence, and others issuing threats of physical violence at the lower- and mid-level Trump 2020 staffers.

After hours stuck on tip-line duty, staff would often leave looking visibly upset, worn out, and feeling undervalued. [...] they had to go to the bathroom at least twice over the last few days just to cry because of the sheer volume of abusive phone calls.

"It's misery. It's one of the worst ways to end a campaign that you could think of," this person said. Some staff had started getting aggressive with the prank callers, giving fake names and arguing or yelling back into the landline.

Though these Trump campaign hands exhaled a heavy sigh of relief on Friday as news trickled out that the telephone tip-line would cease operations, the emotional damage had already been done, the insult layered thickly on top of injury.'

'[...] The funniest thing about this entire idiotic story is that I could not find one mention of Dallas Jones having been arrested in Google and calls to Wayne County law enforcement as well as officials in surrounding communities didn't find any arrest records. Instead, all of these QAnon chuckleheads were pointing to this story as "proof," which turns out to be something that was posted on a French-language QAnon web site. It also has a time stamp dated four days from now[...]

I decided I would run the arrest photo through an image search engine to see what I could find. I wasn't able to right-click and save the image, since the web site had used java-script to warn me I was committing "copyright infringement." Which is pretty freaking hilarious, given that image is not Dallas Jones. Instead, it's a photo of [actor] Cuba Gooding Jr. being arrested in 2019[...]

The QAnon web site uses a slightly different photo than the AP one used in the Gooding story. But it's clearly from the same sequence of shots, even if the QAnon photo it so grainy it could have been taken from space.

Now if it turns out that Cuba Gooding Jr. has been arrested for ballot harvesting [edit: or if Cuba Gooding Jr. is Dallas Jones], then THAT would be a story.'

'Tucker Carlson Apologizes for Claiming 96-Year-Old Georgia Voter Was a Dead Man

Sleuths at a local news station roundly debunked the Fox News host’s claims that two dead Georgians had voted in this month’s election.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson opened his show Wednesday by proclaiming that “truth really matters more than ever.” What he was about to report was “not a theory,” he said, adding: “It happened and we can prove it.”

But two days later, he opened with an apology. [...]

[...] “So apologies for that, and of course we’re always going to correct when we’re wrong. And we were.”

Carlson did not mention that another of the allegedly dead voters he profiled on his show, Linda Kesler, had not voted either. That vote was cast by Lynda Kesler, who—as sleuths at the fittingly named 11Alive News channel discovered—was alive and well and voting legally in the election.

[...] Countless other claims of dead people voting have been debunked by major news organizations like CNN, which this week examined 50 of the more than 14,000 names on a list of allegedly dead voters being circulated by Trump supporters and found none of them had voted from the grave.

But Carlson remained defiant, claiming Friday that “a whole bunch of dead people did vote,” and that he had “proved it” because he “showed you their names”—the exact same thing he had done for Blalock and Kessler. He did not add any more evidence to support this claim.'
