I do not know how a pure-electric vehicle will cope when driven on the highway at -30 degrees with a heater and defroster going. I suspect the vehicle would go about 15 kilometers.

Aaand....Here It Comes: This lawsuit actually says a state's votes for Biden should just be flipped to Trump When it became obvious that Joe Biden had an insurmountable lead over President Donald Trump in the Pennsylvania vote count, the Associated Press called the Keystone State for Biden on Saturday, November 7 — thus giving the former vice president the 270 electoral votes he needed to become president-elect of the United States. Biden's lead in Pennsylvania has only grown since then, but that hasn't stopped Trump's campaign and Rudy Giuliani from claiming that the president really won the state. And on Wednesday, the Trump campaign made a strikingly anti-democratic demand in a Pennsylvania lawsuit in an attempt to make that fantasy a reality. In the suit, according to Politico, Trump's campaign argues that his campaign's constitutional rights were violated in Pennsylvania and that the state's 20 electoral votes should be given to him by the GOP-control state legislature because he is the real winner. The lawsuit, which names Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar and seven counties as defendants, complains that Republican election observers had insufficient access to the counting of mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania. https://www.alternet.org/2020/11/election-fraud-lawsuit In the army, there is a saying "BOHICA"- "bend over here it comes again", and the American voters who chose Biden in Pennsylvania are gonna have their votes nullified if this suit succeeds.

Wanna bet?

This is why the phrase, "batshit crazy" was coined. We can only hope that the few remaining sane GOP congressmen and senators will finally be revulsed enough to step forward and say "Enough". America is teetering on the brink of fascism, and Lou Dobbs of Faux News is openly urging the GOP to ignore the election outcome and continue to govern. Scary stuff.

The Trump cabal has not crossed the line into overtly illegal conspiracy to commit sedition. They are gambling that they have installed enough thralls in the DOJ and Senate that they can get away with it. I hope that this will finally provoke the Biden people to rain fire and brinstone on them when finally in office.

'Raise the alarm': Experts warn of 'sedition' and 'coup' as Michigan GOP leaders plan meeting with Trump Experts are clearly on edge as news breaks that the two top Republican officials from the state of Michigan are flying to DC to meet with President Donald Trump "at his request," according to a Washington Post reporter, and local Michigan news outlets. And some are warning of a possible "coup." Even The New York Times is reporting: "Trump tries to subvert the election, inviting Michigan G.O.P. lawmakers to the White House." "After failing repeatedly in court to overturn election results, President Trump is taking the extraordinary step of reaching out directly to Republican state legislators as he tries to subvert the Electoral College process," the Times says. Michigan by law is required to certify its election results Monday, November 23. President-elect Joe Biden won the state by 3 percentage points and over 150,000 votes. There are no credible reports of fraud and yet Trump has declared himself the winner. https://www.alternet.org/2020/11/trump-coup-2648983031/

And has been for decades. The examples of Switzerland and Portugal clearly show that there is a viable alternative to clogging up the courts.

Americans are just entering the ugliest, most desperate phase of the Trumpite defence, where nothing is now off-limits. Threats, outright lies, threats and intimidation will not become common.

Presenting a firm defence?

This means that 12 million Americans will be without any income as of December 1st- just in time for the holidays. The bastards.

MAGA Truthers Make Desperate Last Stand at Miami Church Vigil. The election’s over, and oh yeah, the coronavirus is real. Just don’t tell this crowd. MIAMI—On Wednesday night, Alberto Delgado strolled onto the stage of Alpha & Omega, the Miami-area Evangelical megachurch where he serves as senior pastor, and promised nearly 200 MAGA diehards that Donald Trump would serve another term as president. Despite an avalanche of court rulings rejecting Trump’s fact-free claims of voter fraud, Delgado—a snow-haired, natty-dressed preacher with a baritone voice and who serves as a religious adviser to Trump—assured his flock that the fight for the White House was just getting started. "God can do great things for Donald Trump if you believe," Delgado said in Spanish. “Trump is the man God has chosen for these times. This is why I am telling you we have not lost.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/maga-truthers-make-desperate-last-stand-at-miami-church-vigil?ref=home Wayne County Republicans Desperately Trying to Rescind Their Votes to Certify Election Results Reuters/Shannon Stapleton This is just getting embarrassing now. On Tuesday, the two Republicans on an election board in Michigan’s most populous county made a dramatic u-turn and voted to certify the results of the election. But now they’re trying to claw their votes back. According to the Washington Post, the two GOP members of the four-member Wayne County Board allege that they were bullied by Democrats into voting to certify the results and want their votes to be rescinded.

Don't care if he's into bondage.

I am deeply aggrieved and considering legal action.

The prosecution of the Trump mafia (including his family) must be as dispassionate as possible. The Trumpers will scream persecution and witch hunts but its not as if this will be anything new for them. The DOJ needs to flip a few and then the floodgates will open as everyone tries to throw everyone else under the bus to save their own skins.

The real game here is to try to roil up enough anger among their followers so that the fear of mob violence will compel Biden and Co. to cave in on prosecuting the GOPers who have broken the law, or, in an ideal sitatuon (for them) to create havok and uncertainty in the electoral college that the GOP governors in those states will have an excuse to declare the process invalid and appoint electors friendly to the Trumpers.

Donald Trump Retweets Elections Canada About Dominion Voting Machines: The elections authority was trying to debunk the very conspiracy theories Trump has promoted. By Mel Woods Congratulations to all of you with “Donald Trump retweets Canada’s elections authority” on your 2020 BINGO cards. The United States president took to the social media app Tuesday to reshare bizarrely a post from Elections Canada regarding Canada’s use of paper ballots in elections. Ironically, the elections authority was trying to debunk the very conspiracy theories around voting that Trump has been championing for weeks. In the original tweet, Elections Canada was debunking online conspiracy theories that suggest electronic ballot-counting measures have led to fraud in Canadian elections. “Elections Canada does not use Dominion Voting Systems,” the post read. “We use paper ballots counted by hand in front of scrutineers and have never used voting machines or electronic tabulators to count votes in our 100-year history.” https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/donald-trump-elections-canada-dominion_ca_5fb4551fc5b6f00bd84b7d3d?ncid=other_trending_qeesnbnu0l8&utm_campaign=trending

Pro-Trump coronavirus truthers try to invade Utah hospital overrun with COVID-19 patients: report When President Donald Trump was voted out of office in the 2020 election, one of the top reasons why millions of U.S. residents voted to replace him with former Vice President Joe Biden was his woefully inadequate response to the coronavirus pandemic. Regardless, so-called "coronavirus truthers" on the far right continue to insist that the pandemic is merely a hoax that President-elect Biden and other Democrats used to harm Trump's presidency. And at a Utah hospital that is being overrun with COVID-19 patients, the Daily Beast reports, health care workers are having to cope with extremists who don't even believe that the patients are sick. "Conspiracy theorists," journalist Michael Daly reports in the Beast, have made "repeated visits" to Utah Valley Hospital in recent weeks. According to Daly, Utah's coronavirus truthers "decided that the small number of cars outside the Provo facility was evidence that the pandemic is a hoax" and "entered the hospital with video cameras seeking to film what they believed would be an equally empty ICU."

Rudy Giulliani is billing the Trump election committee $20,000 per week to file these appeals despite the fact that he is no longer a member in good standing of the New York bar. No wonder he is still in there tilting at windmills.

If there are no legal consequences to committing illegal acts, what incentive is there to not commit these or worse again? If Biden and his administration do not prosecute the Trump suppporters, then these same miscreants can legitimately say that they did nothing wrong and wail that they have been wrongfully slandered, This will strengthen their re-election chances and support among the voters who are not diehard GOPers.

You ought to check in with Neville Chamberlain about the success of placating evil.

Biden's big mistake: Trump can't be allowed to escape legal consequences President-elect Joe Biden is privately telling his advisers that he doesn't want investigations of Donald Trump to dominate his presidency, according to NBC News. Biden fears wide-ranging inquires would both serve as a distraction from his agenda and alienate Trump's base at a time when Biden hopes to unify the country. https://www.alternet.org/2020/11/trump-will-be-prosecuted/

Zero for 24 and counting. Will not faze the Trumpettes at all. Trumpworld’s Insane New Claim: Mafia Rigged the Vote for Joe. A known misinformation merchant pushed a conspiracy theory that the Philly mob delivered thousands of votes for Joe Biden. Of course Trumpworld ate it up. The claim was far fetched: that the Philly mob delivered thousands of votes for Joe Biden. The person claiming it was even less believable: a known misinformation merchant. A Buffalo blog notorious for peddling election misinformation has captured the attention of top Trump supporters with a bizarre tale of the Philly mob swinging the election for Biden. Matthew Ricchiazzi runs the Buffalo Chronicle, a fake news site that’s been masquerading as a real newspaper since 2014. He hit what counts as the big time for crank sites with a handful of dubious and debunked stories about Canadian elections. Now, thanks to some credulous amplification by plugged-in Trumpsters, he’s on the verge of a repeat performance in an American election with a fanciful conspiracy tale about a Philadelphia mob boss cranking out thousands of ballots for Biden. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumpworlds-insane-new-claim-mafia-rigged-the-vote-for-joe-biden

Zuckerberg probably has Trump and Bannon on his speed dial.
