Of course Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to the United States. Why do you ask?

In 2017, US intelligence was required to extract a covert operative in Moscow due to concerns that Trump et al. had compromised this individual.

The individual was was considered the highest level source for the US inside the Kremlin, high up in the national security infrastructure, according to the source familiar with the matter and a former senior intelligence official.

According to CNN’s sources, the spy had access to Putin and could even provide images of documents on the Russian leader’s desk.

The absence of such a resource possibly contribute to the failure of the US to detect the Russian hack of US computer systems.

If you have not yet been convinced just how batshit crazy the Trump attack on the election is, just take a look at this filing challenging the alleged expert testimony offered in support of the Trump position.

I would call your attention to the first paragraph on page 28 which provides as follows:

"In support of their motion, Plaintiffs cite the "expert testimony" of an individual whose name is redacted but is referred to by Plaintiffs as "Spyder."

See Mot. to File Under Seal, ECF 5 at 9. Spyder claims to be an "electronic intelligence analyst . . . with experience gathering SAM missile system electronic intelligence" and "extensive experience as a white hat hacker used by some of the top election specialists in the world."

Judge Stephanos Bibas of the 3rd Cir. was appointed by Trump. Today, he rejected the Trump campaign's attempt to obtain an injunction to undo PA's certification of votes in the presidential election.

His opinion for a 3 judge panel states: "The Campaign’s claims have no merit. The number of ballots it specifically challenges is far smaller than the roughly 81,000-vote margin of victory. And it never claims fraud or that any votes were cast by illegal voters.

Plus, tossing out millions of mail-in ballots would be drastic and unprecedented, disenfranchising a huge swath of the electorate and upsetting all down-ballot races too. That remedy would be grossly disproportionate to the procedural challenges raised."

I have uploaded the most recent case from Pennsylvania where the Trump campaign's attempt to block certification of the EVs from Pennsylvania was dismissed. slnews.us/pbgl112120a

The basic thrust of the Court's ruling is set forth at the very beginning of its memorandum:

"[T]he Trump Campaign and the Individual Plaintiffs . . . seek to discard millions of votes legally cast by Pennsylvanians from all corners — from Greene County to Pike County,

and everywhere in between. In other words, Plaintiffs ask this Court to disenfranchise almost seven million voters. This Court has been unable to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought such a drastic remedy in the contest of an election,

The IRS has issued Rev. Rul. 2020-27 that addresses the question of the deductibility of expenses paid with the proceeds of PPP loans. The ruling holds that:

A taxpayer that received a covered loan guaranteed under the PPP and paid or incurred certain otherwise deductible expenses listed in section 1106(b) of the CARES Act may not deduct those expenses in the taxable year in which the expenses were paid or incurred

if, at the end of such taxable year, the taxpayer reasonably expects to receive forgiveness of the covered loan on the basis of the expenses it paid or accrued during the covered period,
