Now What?

The Schloss-Blog is wondering, what happens now? What happens after that?

Monday, the electoral college votes. The Republicans are going to try something on Monday when the Electoral College casts its votes. By law, the electors are supposed to vote for the candidate whose vote totals won their respective states. But unless their states have passed such legislation, they are not officially bound, although each state's elector representatives to the college are chosen by the party whose candidate won the state. Many states, in line with a Supreme Court decision, have passed legislation binding the selected electors and their votes.

Not only that, but ninety-nine percent of electors have always voted as designated in U.S. history. NINETY-NINE PERCENT!

Yet, you know Trump and the 126 traitors who signed on to the Texas Attorney General's lawsuit to overturn the election by eliminating the votes in battleground states are going to try something to get the Electoral College representatives to change their legally bound votes.

Will it work? Can they really pull it off?

They're asshole enough to try, obviously. And something like 36 percent of American voters think the election was "rigged."

Every time we hear (except on Fox, Newsmax or OAN) that the Supreme Court has finally settled the matter, another lawsuit, another challenge, another unworthy, baseless, evidence-free accusation of fraud pops up somewhere, begging resolution at the state level and presenting ditzy, uninformed blondes to say so.

For instance, a lawsuit in Wisconsin was just dismissed Saturday, by the state's supreme court. Trump lawyers argued that they wanted the court to follow the rule of law and overturn the results. The court responded that in not doing so, it did just what the Trump lawyers requested - it followed the rule of law.

Make no mistake: the 18 state attorneys general and the 126 Republican congressmen who signed on to the Texas A.G.'s lawsuit are TRAITORS. The Supreme Court's ruling on that case and one preceding it  during the week clearly declared the unconstitutional grounds on which they were filed.

It makes me sick that these Republicans would pull out the stops they have to overturn this legitimate election.

And speaking of sick, while Americans die in records numbers from COVID, Trump makes no comment about such, offers no consolation nor condolence and doesn't reassure Americans that help is on the way. Instead, he accuses the incoming administration (is he conceding?) of likely screwing up the handling of the vaccine distribution.

I remain disgusted at the behavior of Republicans who have not only supported this coup attempt (that's what it is so call it such), but helped administer it. History will record them as abolitionists of freedom and the rule of law.

Yet, you've nary heard a bad word out of Biden or his camp regarding all this. They are forging ahead with filling important positions with competent people, unlike the "best and brightest" with whom Trump always told us he surrounded himself.

Funny, I didn't know he had Kelly Services (nee Kelly Girls) on speed dial.

With any luck, the Electoral College will complete its task on Monday and then Congress will certify such on Jan. 5, 2021.

Either that or, as the Beatles said:

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.
