Jorg: Cheers for keeping up the good fight. What I see lacking in the conversation about the “Big Lie” is that Republicans rant and rave about voter fraud clearly to distract from blatant Election Fraud for which there is plenty of evidence: Gerrymandering, voter role purging, disenfranchisement, voter intimidation, limited polling places in minority districts, USPS meddling and outright demolition of mail sorting machines. This last one is particularly egregious. I am hearing some murmurs that Biden will be filling vacant spots on the Postal Service board and I hope that justice will be served against the postmaster general with his conflicts of interest and clear intent on undermining a prime service of democracy.
The right knows it is guilty but there is no shame.

You KNOW I can’t resist commenting on this one!
Trump’s oversized ego wouldn’t allow him to accept electoral defeat, especially since he got more votes than any Republican in history.
The resulting Constitutionally protected Trump bombast inspired the nut-cake Extreme Right to take up armed action to protect their “cheated” president, and thereby the nation.
Any thinking person knows that the armed invasion of the Capitol was the direct result of what Trump had told his followers over the preceding month.
It is very likely that someone will take citizen Trump to court, and charge him with instigating mayhem and murder, or at least manslaughter.
Maybe he’ll go to jail!
If failure to take reasonable and timely steps to the end the riot can be turned into a criminal offense of Dereliction of Duty, I think Donald Trump will eventually be a prison inmate.
But that is a high hurdle, given that politicians have stronger protection than other citizens under the First Amendment.
We’ll see.
