This is what I want to know. How did America Allow Donald Trump to practically screw up this country for 4 years and then think he would pack up peacefully? I served on Speaker Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill, Jr.'s staff 10 years. I felt honored everytime I walked into the U.S. Capitol, revered by Lincoln as the Symbol of our Union. I have no words to express the way I felt the day I watched Trump on TV send his mob to the U.S. Capitol. Stop the Steal! I was glued to it. Never expecting what unfolded because I could never have imagined it! Sick. I felt sick. For Days. I watched him almost demolish everything we understood as Americans Mindboggling. Human excrement smeared on the walls? Since that day, it seems like there's been a lot of watching, rueing, shocked TskTskTsking..., about the what's and why's of Donald J. Trump and his takeover of a major political party and his continued, 'shocking' behavior'. Then, we took a break and went through the Wringing of Hands about Biden. NOW, as we spend time reacting to Trumps repulsiveness (melodramatic ear bandage, convention buddies, performance at NABJ) -- his minions continue their work with with MAGA traitors all over America, in precincts and counties, strategically placed -- TO REFUSE TO CERTIFY THE ELECTION OF 2024. The horror of November 2024 could make January 6, look like childs' play. Trump DIVERTS OUR ATTENTION from what is REALLY at stake! And we fall for it. He purposely makes outrageous statements. He purposesly offends. SO WE TAKE OUR EYES OFF THE BALL. MAGA succeeds everytime we focus on his bigotry, misogeny, and endless, tedious bullshit -- while they screw us and the system from within. Kamala Harris is more than capable of making mincemeat out of this guy. She's not gonna fall for it! She'll keep talking about policy, children, poverty, clean water, making the economy strong. And while he's at it, she'll make him look obsolete, foolish, a broken record, and what he is: despicable: No plans (except retribution), no policies (except deportation). Let her take him down as only she can do it! She said "I know your TYPE!"

She called Trump "a TYPE"! Now that stung. Here's what she told him: "There's lots of loosers and bullies around like you, Donald. You aren't special, honey." Kamala is ready! Our outrage in place of action if just that. Outrage with absolutely no effect. Send money. Volunteer. Register somebody! When Trump went after Hillary Clinton, it WAS shocking. Everybody was gob-smacked. No one had ever talked like Trump before, during, or after a Presidential campaign. We know him now. Stop acting like you're shocked by Anything he says. "She was Indian. Bigly Indian. Then she wanted to be Black." Why didn't everybody just fall over laughing! Are you #ing serious, Donald? It's like the island "surrounded by Big Water! A lot of Water!" He's almost totally ignorant (literally). He has no education or knowledge about the World, history of the world and this country; that the government has three branches of government.... It's too funny (except that he was once elected President of the United States). Make people laugh at him and he'll go ballistic! This man has no self-control when it comes to his ego!

What MAGA/TRUMP PROMISES US is right out in the open! A election that cannot certified. If a state can't cetify all its votes, it can't send electors to the Electoral College.

Can a President be elected by Electoral votes from 47 states? 44?

Let's say by some miracle every State certifies its votes and Democratic candidates win.

What will happen when the Vice President of the United States (President of the Senate) is called upon to certify herself as Present-Elect?)) OMG. That is not, by the way, something that should be problem. The Constitution. Laws. Precedent. Tradition. History. All these things make such a scenario. IN THE PAST.

Meanwhile, this is not a situation to be left to the U.S. Capitol Police and the D.C. Police Department! And this is not a situation that should be left to every county clerk in the country. VOLUNTEER.

Will President Biden be required call on the United States Military? THAT'S WHAT WORRIES ME.
