“The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor,” Trump said in the statement.

Elections are usually called by news media, which tracks votes in local jurisdictions across all 50 states, before they are officially certified, because that process can take weeks.

“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated,” Trump said, accusing the Democratic Party of “wrongdoing.”

“So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands,” Trump concluded.

The Scariest Days Of The Trump Presidency Could Be The Final 74

Americans nervous about a president who wanted troops to shoot border crossers, and who suggested using nuclear weapons against hurricanes, could be facing the scariest days of Donald Trump’s presidency: the final ones.

As intemperate, foolhardy and reckless as many of Trump’s actions have been to date, critics warn that they all took place as Trump faced a referendum from voters. Now, that pending job review has passed.

“He will create as much chaos as humanly possible,” said Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and fixer.

“Donald Trump will take to the airwaves, to radio and print media whining about how the election was stolen from him due to fraud and foreign interference,” Cohen said. “He could never accept the fact that he lost because he is incompetent and arrogant.”

Mary Trump wrote:

This is how the most colossal and fragile ego on the planet deals with losing the US election: he does not deal with it at all.

My uncle’s speech late on election night wasn’t just entirely mendacious from beginning to end. It was also deeply dangerous. It’s one thing for random Republicans to call a legitimate election into question, but this was the head of the government. The consequences of that action should not be underestimated.

This is what Donald’s going to do: he’s not going to concede, although who cares. What’s worse is he’s not going to engage in the normal activities that guarantee a peaceful transition. All he’s got now is breaking stuff, and he’s going to do that with a vengeance.

I am really scared of "faithless electors".

In 2015 Republicans were all about "letting the people decide" about SCOTUS nominations in the leadup to the election.  The president should not make any consequential decisions in the last year of his term, they said.

Where are they today?

The American people have voted to kick President Donald Trump out of the White House, but in its waning weeks, his administration is still trying to fulfill his inaugural promise to “get our people off of welfare.”



The Trump administration finalized a regulation Monday that could make it harder for people who apply for disability benefits to appeal denials. Starting next month, the Social Security Administration can use its own lawyers to hear appeals instead of administrative law judges, who have more independence from the agency.




Dozens of other agency rules are pending at the White House Office of Management and Budget, and the administration could finalize them before Biden takes office in January. Several of the rules target food and disability benefits, while others are aimed at environmental and worker protections.

The latest tidbits I heard:

1. Trump aides have talked him out of bombing Iran. I hope that's true.

2. Don jr will be running in 2024.

What I don't think anyone could bring themselves to foresee is that the administration is working to sabotage the transition and hamstring the incoming administration, while simultaneously priming the economy to collapse. The law needs to be changed that defines treason, so that Trump, Mnuchin and possibly others can be moved immediately to Guantanamo pending execution.
