Good morning. Pennsylvania has become the latest state to dismiss
Trump?s attempts to overturn the election result. Yesterday, the state?s
supreme court ruled that Philadelphia election officials did not
improperly block the Trump campaign from observing the counting of
mail-in ballots ? one of the president?s loudest post-election claims.
Pennsylvania was a key swing state in the election, flipping its 20
electoral college seats to Biden by a narrow margin of 1.2%.

On the other side of the rust belt, Republican certifiers in Michigan
have U-turned and confirmed a Joe Biden win. The state?s largest county
had refused to officially call the state for Biden, despite a clear win,
but changed course after Democrats, election experts and members of the
public warned it was a dangerous overriding of public will.

Trump?s voter fraud lawyer said that the ?litigation will not work?
before being hired to represent the president?s campaign in
Pennsylvania. Broadcasting on his own conservative talkshow days after
the election, Marc Scaringi, who was retained by the Trump campaign on
Monday to replace attorneys who had dropped out of the case, said there
?really are no bombshells? that could overturn the results.

The president performed worse than other Republicans on the ballot
in many counties, with many voters who typically support the Republicans
turning their back on the outgoing president.

Why isn't Joe holding daily press conferences

===

Why should he?

I'd guess that he has more important things to do.

Its hard for me to imagine that you are looking forward to Joe and Carmella
fulfilling their threats.

===

I'm looking forward to getting our wannabe Hitler/Mussolini as far
from the Whitehouse as possible. The man is dangerously criminal.

You are tip toeing around my concern. Thats not like you.

I'm not exactly sure what your concern is. As long as our
constitutional democracy remains intact, our system of checks and
balances should prevent anything too radical from happening. I'm not
at all concerned that Biden or Harrris will try to dismantle the
constitution the way that Trump is attempting, nor will they try to
discredit and ignore expert opinions.

Meanwhile the stock market seems happy and that's a reasonably good
indicator that the economy will recover barring any new surprises.


I am concerned that you are looking forward to the democrats running the
country possibly without checks and balances. Radical things and surprises
are likely to happen.


===

Actually not. Even as dysfunctional as they are, I'm sort of hoping
that the senate remains under republican control. That should keep
anything too weird from happening. My ideal would be to see a
moderate, middle of the road republican as president but that won't
happen as long as the crazy factions are running amok. Sometimes you
have to settle for the lesser of two evils.
