Tomorrow, Justice Alito wants to look at evidence from a PA lawsuit.

The Trump campaign has been trying mightily to get a case to the Supreme Court. Alito has promised to take a look at their case.

Tomorrow is also the deadline of the "Safe Harbor" rule. All the discrepancies and controversies should be resolved and electors chosen.

It is an important date, before the official electors vote on December 14th. The sand is about out of the hourglass.

Bill Barr lost Trump when he did not come thru with "Obamagate"

For years, Trump and his supporters were anticipating convictions of Obama and others for "spying" on his campaign. Their hopes were high.

Then a month or so before the election, Barr announces that there is no evidence to pursue Obama any further. US Attorney John Durham had found nothing. Trump supporters were deflated.

Today, Barr announces that he is "considering" leaving the Administration. Trump is likely "considering" firing him? They are playing the usual Trump game, "No, I wasn't fired, I quit".

But, if Barr wants to resign, he had better do it quickly.

To most Americans, it doesn't matter when he leaves. Good riddance!

It is understandable to have faith in a religion.

There are many people of faith. They believe in their God by faith alone. They do not require evidence from God.

However, a court of law cannot go on faith alone. It must have evidence. Word alone is not proof.

In my opinion, this is where a lot of Trump supporters become confused? They tend to have "faith" in people like Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump without seeing any evidence.

They confuse the rule of God with the rule of Law.

One cannot walk before a court of law and make demands and allegations, without evidence. One cannot say, "They cheated, but I don't have any proof."

Elections are not decided by faith. They are decided by voters.

The Curse of 2020

As if the deadly pandemic was not enough, as we close in very quickly on 300,000 deaths, America is cursed with a psychotic breakdown with almost half its population.

They are clinging to the rantings of a madman that refuses to turn loose the levers of power in our democracy. He lost in a landslide and refuses to leave or to admit that he lost. In the biggest salesjob in history, he is attempting to persuade elected Republicans to overturn the will of the voters.

As millions of people face hunger and unemployment, we see new breadlines with people in cars. We are still not yet officially into winter.

The rule of law has broken down as politics rule the day.

As America has lost respect around the world, it appears to be slipping into Third World status? The world scratches its head in puzzlement.

As wise men have noted, we are reaping what we have sown.

With just 46 days left, could a President do anything serious enough to be impeached?

What should be the Democratic position? They do not seem to have any interest in such a foolish endeavor at this moment? It might threaten future political positions?

Should Democrats have impeachment on the burner? Just in case he shoots Bill Barr, or someone close?

Wouldn't that be a wise thing to do?

Trump's plan is to take parts of the foundation of government with him when he leaves.

Indeed, he will pretend to be the leader of the Republican Party, in exile. Either they all move in with him, or they get a divorce. It's not going to be a pleasant saga.

He has planted his people in different parts of the government to steal as much information, or whatever, they are capable of stealing. It was discovered that some lady was planted at the Justice Department, at the behest of Trump and Stephen Miller. It was reported a couple of days ago.

This is a gravy train that he does not want to turn over. He really has no choice. His back is against the wall. If he doesn't stay in Washington as the President, he may go to jail? That is not an acceptable alternative.

So don't be surprised if he runs the RNC and the Republican Party from his HQ's in Mar-a-Lago?

First lesson: Trump and his supporters need to understand that elected officials are not going to...

...overturn an election, against the will of the voters. It's not going to happen.

They would lose their jobs immediately if they were to grovel to such a degree.

Once the supporters understand that fact, the better they will be on their road back from the psychosis.

Of course, they don't want to admit it.

But that is the first lesson, if they wish to recover.

It's time to get behind the wheel of that clown car and drive it in the direction of home, and park it in the garage.

And lock the door.

Trump calling Governors? Is it lobbying, bribery, or extortion?

He is definitely putting pressure on these people. As if they can change the will of the people to please his sorry ass.

Then, he will likely badmouth any of these folks that will not agree to his request. He is one sorry SOB.

How can anyone accept this as acceptable or normal?
