Today’s letter has raised the hair on the back of my neck...why are there no checks and balances to stop this mad man!? And what can we do to stop a future, more intelligent mad man from taking steps to destroy our country and democracy? We are already in it for the long haul to reverse The damage that he and his minions have done. Like causing so many to distrust our voting system, one of the main keys to democracy. And not allowing Biden and his team to read the daily briefings....isn’t there something that can be done about this, legally? On the bright side, the team that Biden has put together to fight Covid and the response of the market and some Republicans is positive. I guess there are people out there who are looking for a true leader. All of us, and those who are in the position of power, who truly care about our country and democracy need to stay on top and work on solving these issues or 2024 will be even more hellish than today.
Thank you for your letters and insights Heather Cox Richardson. And also, thanks to all the commentators here. Your insights, ideas and opinions helpful and some...eye opening.
Ditto, Terry! Thank you for so eloquently expressing how I feel. I’m still in the process of picking my chin up from the floor and trying to put my heart back into my chest. 😩
I have this feeling that Biden is being blocked from those daily briefings because of their content. They will be tailored to Trump’s personality with things to stoke his ego and little substance. And the current leaders like Ratcliffe will refuse to back away from Trump enough to let any daylight in. They are all sociopaths. I look forward to trusting who is taking care of our country again.
In framing a letter to a friend, I realized that this election is not formally over until the Electoral College convenes, the second Wednesday in December. It's still a toss-up as to whether Biden will have 290 EC votes, or 306 (if GA finishes blue), or more if AK or NC somehow go blue (highly unlikely). But he only needs 270, and the 290 are already locked in.
So we're probably going to need to wait until Dec 9 before we'll see any strong-arming to get Trump to turn over the keys.
