https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/20/politics ... index.html

Members of the Michigan state legislature's Republican leadership who met with President Donald Trump at the White House Friday afternoon said they "have not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan."

The Michigan lawmakers -- who visited the White House at the invitation of the President -- didn't say anything to suggest they were going along with Trump's long-shot effort to overturn the results of the election he lost to President-elect Joe Biden.
"As legislative leaders, we will follow the law and follow the normal process regarding Michigan's electors, just as we have said throughout this election," Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield said in a joint statement after the meeting.

A lot of people on the crazier places in the internet seem to be betting on SCOTUS deciding in Trump's favour because a number of the judges have reason to hold grudges against the Democrats. It is odd that this does not appear corrupt to them, but they'd be howling at the unfairness if someone with a grudge against Trump decided to rule in Biden's favour based on the grudge.

As it is, I don't think SCOTUS is corrupt enough to destroy their own integrity and the democracy they serve to get back at someone who hurt their feelings.

Well so far all of Trumps judicial appointees have ruled against him. So even if a case got to the court it’s insanely likely that we would have a 9-0 ruling in Biden’s favor

I agree with that plus Im fairly certain you can't appeal if your case gets dismissed.

Well, in Georgia runoff news, Loeffler's going for the old red meat strategy by attacking Ilhan Omar seeing as she's one of Warnock's biggest suporters: https://www.newsweek.com/kelly-loeffler-tells-ilhan-omar-she-should-expelled-congress-after-minnesota-rep-defends-1549131

Also because Omar's been the low-hanging fruit target du jour.

You don’t need to go that far. This very thread spent all night talking to a fan of specially processed assorted meats who thinks that the Supreme Court will decide this election and was the only way he’d accept the results with the caveat that Trump was still cheated out of the presidency. His evidence is his ardent unquestioning support for a party head like you would see in a totalitarian regime like Castros.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Only Britain and Turkey voted "Yes".

Man, the Trump campaign really fell through on its promises. We were supposed to stop hearing about Covid and it would go away, socialism was supposed to take hold.

I bet there wouldn’t have been taco trucks if Hillary won either.

You just can’t trust this guy.

That's actually quite dangerous. Rudy is an old dude and does not look nearly robust as Donald Trump is, so catching it from those two is extremely possible. They'd be well served to get the old bastard tested and in hospital if needed.
