Pennsylvania certification temporary blocked?

It only seems to effect those counties yet to certify their counts, not the full certification yesterday. Certification was possible yesterday because the remaining couple of counties don’t contain enough votes to affect the result.

I think there are too many movers and shakers with too much wealth and power who are very content to let the ego driven naive individuals who stand for the presidency, get on and enter the White House. Who needs all that attention when you really are controlling global society? When you’re doing battle, flanking is a tactically strong move. Going up the middle can be suicide.

 

Simply put though, too many politicians are in the back pocket of big business for politics to ever be progressive and liberal enough to create the fair free society we all want. That’s particularly true in America, but it’s a global thing. The 1% are always ahead of the game, by virtue of their position of privilege.

 

Just as an aside, Bill Moyers did an interesting interview a few years back - Bill and his guest economist Paul Krugman critique a book that I still haven’t read, but mean to get.
 

“Capital In The 21st Century” by Thomas Piketty blows the lid on the true source of inequality.

 

 

 

It does almost look beyond hope at times. AOC and other progressives that are with the Dems might be able to turn some of it around though and maybe she'll even run for president herself at some point (she can run next election if she wants to. She'd not be old enough during the election phase but by the time inauguration took place she'd be 35.) If they rigged things against Sanders though I find it impossible to believe they won't be trying to do the same with her. I'll try and keep some hope that herself or someone else like her could make it through at some point though.

Meanwhile, on Parler, the fuckwits have come up with a Baldrick-like cunning plan to win the Georgia senate run off, by not voting and not winning the senate run off. Winning without winning.

Please let this be a rather clever democrat manipulating gullible Trump supporters.

Pence will be sworn in before the 20th of Jan and he'll attend the inauguration instead, saving the GOP a lot of embarrassment. The orange cunt will be unreachable for the week prior and after. 

I'd have thought he'd be more vocal than ever, proclaiming his attendance is/was nothing more than protocol.

Sky news reporting that Trump has said he will leave the White House if the electoral college votes for Biden.

Sure he will. He genuinely thinks the Electoral College will vote for him. If it doesn't, then he'll revert to trying to convince congress.

 

(As I read elsewhere) It's like watching a horror flick when the murderer looks dead, but there is 20 mins of the film left.
