The Trump plan -- Marshal law and no more elections.

What's needed is 4 senate Republicans to step up today.

Not so much the "trump" plan. More the plan of Project 2025 and Vought. Trump is but the "sandwich man" who is allowed to cash in a bit.

Getting rid of the electoral college at this point would be a good thing. It would reduce the impact of gerrymandering at the federal level. However, that would not have saved us from tRump. He won a plurality of the votes in addition to the electoral college vote count. We would still have a toxic trifecta (almost quadfecta).

A careful recount is the only definitive way to address the statistical clues. Has anyone with standing funded such a recount? tRump won all of the "battleground states", not just one.

all we need is a few audits of the counts of single tabulator machines as the analysis has shown unusual skew when the machines had more ballots than usual.

The audit cost is $25k. The issue is getting permission to do it.

Martial law is just around the corner. Don’t understand how these Reps can’t see it coming. Pretty disgusting and scary as all get-out!

There are so many great topics here today it’s hard to know where to start! The Medicaid column was very eye opening.

I read last week about the lack of interest in Lamar Jackson when he asked to be traded. There are actually reasons why other teams were not interested in making an offer to Jackson.

Thr Cleveland Browns are a poorly run organization. Their decision to offer DeShaun Watson was a true WTF moment. Given the physical nature of football, the rate of injuries, it's hardly surprising that teams aren't offering fully guaranteed contracts.

There are so many issues in this country that I personally am not using any bandwidth on this one.
