“Trump Wants Supreme Court to Stop Counting of Votes
While He’s Ahead”
An excellent summary of the situation.
What an alarming demand Trump has made. He just does not care what anyone thinks of him or care about any rules or traditions.
The possibility of four more years is beyond disturbing.
The election is a good measure of what a changed place America has become, leaving even pretenses to decency behind.
It is difficult to accept that more-or-less half of Americans could cast a ballot for a man who has cheated, stolen, and killed as they watched – all while generating a steady stream of ignorant claims and lies.
The world is going to be a very dangerous place if he succeeds. He will be just bursting at the seams with attitude about himself and how right he was.
The only consolation to be found in the idea of his remaining in office is that, without question, he will serve to accelerate the decline of America’s global imperial position. You cannot carry on the way he has without disturbing or rupturing almost every relationship.
That is, if he doesn’t manage to destroy the planet.
