11/12/18: The sun comes up. The president piles out of bed, takes a poop, and starts tweeting:
The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged [emphasis added]. An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!
Countless races remain undecided every Election Night.
The imbecility of his position should not be lost on anyone who understands how elections work.
Countless races remain undecided every Election Day. Mail-in ballots are still being opened and tallied. In Arizona, 75 percent of voters mail in ballots, meaning there are piles still not counted by the time polls close and poll workers go home to catch some rest.
In Florida votes received from military personnel and Americans living overseas can be counted if received before November 16. That’s state law. So, the president is arguing that the votes of military personnel overseas, which tend to run heavily in favor of the GOP, should be ignored.
Automatic recounts are also required by law in close races in almost all federal, state, and local elections.
Trump might not like it, but that’s the law, and you don’t
get to say the election is over just because your side is ahead.

Votes from military personnel overseas often arrive (legally) late. |

IT’S VETERANS DAY in America. The entire presidential schedule reads: “The President has no public events scheduled.”
He does not travel to Arlington National Cemetery to honor
the fallen heroes. It may be he fears the ghost of John McCain.

ANY NEWS IN REGARD to the Mueller investigation? There is. Noted conspiracy-theorist Jerome Corsi, an ally of Roger Stone, admits he expects to be indicted.
Corsi, one of the first promoters of birtherism, was served a subpoena at his home on August 28.
Since then, he has had several conversations with
investigators. According to Corsi, he got confused and stepped into a “perjury
trap” and Robert Mueller and all the prosecutors were mean!

A NEW STUDY from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, based on satellite images, dashes any hope that North Korea is disarming. Evidence shows sixteen new missile bases are currently under construction in the mountains of North Korea.
Focusing on just one, The New York Times explains the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ findings:
The base runs through a narrow
mountain valley over an area of three square miles. Each tunnel entrance, the
report says, is protected by a neighboring berm of rock and dirt about 60 feet
high and two outward-opening doors about 20 feet wide. They are meant to
protect the tunnel entrances from artillery fire and aerial attack.
The report says the Sakkanmol
base conceals seven lengthy tunnels that can accommodate up to 18 transporters
that move the missiles. Each is typically fitted with one warhead.
If tensions rose, the report
says, the missiles would be transported from the base to prearranged launching
sites – often no more than a wide spot in a road. The mobile launchers can move
quickly – they can be ready to fire in under an hour – which is why the United
States has been trying to get the small satellites [proposed by the Obama
administration] into the sky for early warning. The satellites have a special
kind of sensor using “synthetic aperture radar” that cuts through clouds.
Those satellites are still not operational, and this North Korean construction was revealed by small commercial satellites, instead.
Trump still can’t get his lover boy, Kim Jong-un, to give up
a single missile.
