Maybe he knows Trump and his allies will ask him to pardon him.

I hope that there will be a bipartisan analysis of what can be learned and what remedies are needed to prevent the accession of the next dictator-type. If nothing is done they may well exploit those known weak points and actually succeed.

Facebook and Instagram have suspended his account for the rest of his term. https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-usa-election-facebook/facebook-instagram-to-block-trumps-account-for-rest-of-his-presidential-term-idUKKBN29C29M

Yeah, you are probably right.

It looks like he could get served with breaching the US code on insurrection.

Whodathunkit? That it could actually happen in the US?

I noticed, reading the news, the Republican top brass are starting to become more autonomous in their public thoughts. I get the feeling he will be buried politically by them, as well as the other things going on. Insurrection's even been bandied about, with the storming of the Capitol... one woman has been shot and killed in it.

Yes, but the potential is there and symbollically it's good news. There's two or three swing voters on the Republican side isn't there... like Collins and Romney?

Looks like the Dems have the Senate. .. just.

Do you ever hear scientists speak of 'truth'? It is not a goal serious ones aspire to because there is no way to know. History shows us that it is a moving target.

I think this part is moot after the fact.

PG has no smell.

DIY vaping juice suppliers should have it too as it's a component of vaping liquid.

The BBC have a write up on it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55086927

Isn't one of the two doses given for this drug a half dose? Can't remember if it's the first or second dose.

Just in:

Can you envisage any pertinent election cases getting there that might make any difference?

That's something I imagine happening to Silvio Berlusconi.

There's lots at the state level acknowledging the results as valid that I've been reading. It's the acolytes surrounding Trump that give the opposite impression. More minor ones will just be toeing the line for now. Here's a quote the Republican SoS of Georgia certifying the result there made:

.... and are then slipped into nice orange boiler suits.
