Secret CIA assessment says Russia was trying to help Trump win White House

65. This is the beginning of the end.

I've been writing about it here at DU all year, and you can hear me now or wish you had later. Here's what's happening:

* There will be a full media push, starting now and becoming crashingly loud by Sunday, to call the election results into question, particularly directed at getting several states to withhold their electoral votes;

* If they can succeed in getting 37 electoral votes taken away from Trump, NOBODY wins in the electoral college meetings on December 19. Even if it doesn't work, the election goes to the next Congress to either certify or decide between January 3 and January 20, and if they can drum up enough public support for it, the Republican Congress will no what they do best: nothing;

* Congress will not hold a vote on who shall be President, or will not vote to certify the election;

* The deadlocked Supreme Court cannot compel Congress to act;

* The Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, becomes Acting President by default on January 20.

Don't be happy about this. This is a Republican-orchestrated coup and this is the important part: it was the Republican plan the whole time. That is why the GOP never laid off of the Clinton email scandal, even though it was bullshit, because the statute they claim she violated renders the violator disqualified from holding public office.

I think that at this point, judging by the CIA/Washington Post angle, the Obama Administration is complicit in the move, simply because Trump really is a disaster waiting to happen. But they trust the Republicans too much. If the GOP pulls it off, they're never giving it back. Never.

They were planning to steal it from either candidate, no matter who won, and if they get away with it, America wanders off into a dark one-party fascist night, and we'll all be first against the wall they want to build. I don't know if they'll succeed, and I don't know what to do about it, but I know they're sure as hell trying.
