Re: The Fat Lady has sung
The Government Survey Administration GSA has finally had to admit that Joe Biden has won and sent authorization to the Electorial College. He
will be the next president. The head of the GSA is a Trump appointee and has refused to acknowledge the vote, she finally caved.
Trump has finally admitted, though begrudgingly that there will be a change of administrations. He has had no public duties since the election and has lost 39 out of 40 of his his claims to Fraud. His legal team have been laughed out of court, sternly rebuked by judges for wasting the courts time or never given court time for ill prepared documents. One case yet to come before the court. So much for pinning hopes on legal issues. There are no more options left and the states that were being recounted have stayed the same, in Biden's favor.
Weeks ago Trump asked for legal financial help from his fans. Millions poured in from the faithful, and guess what? Millions have mysteriously disappeared. An investigation is underway. It has been reported that he has syphoned off millions as he needs cash to prop up financially, his hotel business and personal debts.
It's going to be very interesting to watch the goings on, once he looses the protection he currently enjoys as president.
Schedule of coming events:
Dec. 8th is the date that insulates the vote from any appeals or challenges, and then it goes to the Electoral Collage.
Delegates are chosen.
Dec. 14th a vote of delegates each in their own States take place. As the delegates are chosen normally by the candidates it was normally a mere formality 306 for Biden, 223 for Trump.
Jan. 6th Congress is responsible for the counting of the votes and a count takes place. There are provisions of resolution if a surprise vote
where to take place. At this point it's very unlikely this would happen so this is enough to go on. If the stuff was to hit the fan I will explain it as it goes along.
Jan 20th. Joe Biden is sworn in (Noon)
In the past all of these events have just been formalities. It's marvelous really that the founding fathers had thought that one day this sort of event could take place and made provisions for it. It never happened until now, they put in safety stops against someone like Trump hundreds of years ago. They were giants.
Cheers, from a grinning, Rodney
