Neal, if I do not miss something there:
of all attempts of when the Trump minions tried to sue, almost all - all but one - got dismissed by the judges due to lack of evidence, and the case that resulted in a court rule in favour of the Republicans, was a minor nuisance of completely irrelevant proportions. Not a single evidence so far has been presented. Not one. But the FBI investigates in case of two armed Trump mobsters trying to access a counting centre by force. The recount in Georgia also is meaningless, is due to the tight race there and fully according to their laws, Biden gained too many other votes in the other states as if Georgia means anythign anymore. OSCE observers said the election was in all states remarkably transparent and legal and valid, so was the counting. Not one major complaint by them. Not one. Nothign that was more thna the usual to be expected small number of mishaps and accidents that happen at EVERY election in EVERY country, npothign on a sclae that even came close to being of decisive proportions. NOTHING. In two states where Trump started to slam the Democrats for manipulating the count, the governors are Republicans and the top directors of the whole counting process supervising it all are Republicans as well - not Democrats.

Forgive that I say "in those two states" instead of giving the names, but after all its a foreign coutnry and I do not store every city name and geographical detail of your national map on mind, I just log the general content of the news messages. It were two sates were Trump became the loudest about.

An hour ago they had two representaives on German special report program, from Republicans Overseas, and Democrats Abroad. The two could not have been more different. The young lady for the democrats reached out, was polite, tried to be fair and balanced and indeed she was very constructive and inviting and fair. The Republican immediately reloaded Trump conspiracy lies and even reported fake news on FBI investigations , something for which he was rewarded a solid and superfast fact-check and correction by a German foreign correspondent in Washington, and the man then vaguely and mysteriously outlined future threats and delays to everything and that the nTrumpistas will fight and fioght and fight. Clearly a propagator of party before country, lets leave n othign but brunt soil.

But it is you Americans needing to live on this burnt soil, people. You two sides have to learn to talk with each other again. A house divided will not stand.

The Republicans Overseas representative still lived in his alternate universe, denying reality. The moderator later adressed him again, it was all done via cable, and he got only a frozen picture in return. I think it possible that the technical "malfunction" was an emergency measure initiated to stop the man from abusing the prime TV broadcasting for more propagnda of this kind - we all over here are so very very sick and tired of listening to this bull again and again and again. I also hold it possible thzat maybe - maybe - the man freaked out in the other studio and the wire therefore was cut, hiding it behind a tehcnciual malfucntion. I hold this possible - I do nto say we know that it was this way. It was very unpleasant to watch him just after Trump had been formally defeated. Heck, one should know when enoguh is enough. Its enough. Its freaking enough of this madness by now. STOP.

But I fear a Republican led senate will just try to turn the whole political country into charcoal. "In order to save it, we have to destroy this country." Nothing good can ever come from this attitude that puts "retaliation and revenge" over "future".
Is "Skybird" a synonym for hyberbole? Asking for a friend.
