Of course they don’t. Rachel Maddow on MSNBC had reported 20 million Democrat votes missing she wondered did they just stay home and sit on the couch? a lot of Democrats checked on their vote to see if it counted and it said they did not vote and they did. No word of any Republican votes missing. So they couldn’t have a recount with missing votes. They would have to do a revote.

In 2040 we will have solid evidence that StarLink satellites were used to suppress certain votes, and literally erase them. It took until 2015-2020 for the entire story of the shenanigans that took place in Florida during the 2000 Selection to finally come out and of course, Al Gore won that state by 500k votes. We shall find the same in 2040-2050 regarding Harris’s “loss”.

This is what I have tried to tell people.

Think of whoever you believe was the best US President. Think of all the stuff he wanted to do. How much of that got through, even when both houses were on his side?

If Congress, the States and the courts obstruct the good things your favourite President wanted to do, they're sure as hell going to obstruct the bad things your most hated one wants to do.

America is crippled and sclerotic. Relax!

Pennsylvania, bomb threats at inner city Philadelphia polling places.

Michigan and Elise Slotkin win in a race that if all things being normal either a loss or a Harris carry.

North Carolina yes Robinson was awful but Josh Stein winning by fifteen percentage points. Any kind of carry down is a Harris carry.

Nevada Jackie Rosen holding the seat, Harris is beaten.

Arizona Gallegos Carries the Senate seat, Harris beaten????

Technology issues happened in those races. No one wants to look at them.

I surely hope you are right, but I'm still worried. About Trump (but he's old). I'm worried more about the Radical Christian Right. They are serious about a Second American Revolution. And by my reckoning, it only takes about one-third of a country's population to want a civil war or revolution for there to be one. And the Radical Christian Right has that.

No they don't. Seven states had shenanigans happen that are large enough to call into question if the proper winner happened.

No one wants to go into the ugly of making sure because that calls the whole system into question.

What states were they and what were the shenanigans please???

Between questionable silver bullet ballots in Nevada and Arizona, Bomb threats in Pennsylvania, results in Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada and Arizona that scream monkeying with the pres race and no others, and folks as electoral college members in Georgia who were fake electora in 2020, never mind the Elon Musk new voter lottery you have all the earmarks of conspiracy.

The question how or if they are related. I still hold that 2016 was rigged as well using similar Approaches.

To me, the crux of the problem is media coverage. The billionaire class has fully co-opted the Fourth Estate. The billionaire class has achieved its goal of taking over the government and the media.

For decades, minority rule has been the norm. America has been a democracy in name only. Finally, there are indeed millions of fine, upstanding people in the country, but most people have succumbed to becoming selfish, self-serving cretins.

In my lifetime, politicians from both parties have been greedy, immoral, and self-serving narcissists. The wealthy have ensured that the system works for their benefit. Everything Rothkopf has posited is true, but this is not good news for most Americans. The continuance of political corruption only serves the best interests of the wealthy and makes life unnecessarily difficult for most of us.

The first time Musk and company try to close an underused post office in rural Kansas they will receive a major lesson in political reality.

So the GOOD NEWS is: It won’t be AS BAD AS WE THINK. BUT—— it will STILL BE BAD. I FEEL SOOOOO MUCH BETTER!

"The Constitution is clear and won’t be overturned." Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, actionable by Congress alone, disqualifies Trump from holding office. To inaugurate him is to overturn the Constitution.

That's an interesting thought. President by appointment?
