Was out of town in a cabin deep in the woods. No TV and could just receive the debate on the radio. So did not know of the fly till after the debate.

Wounder if the fly later died?

Mikey, head of the CV-19 Task Force, decides this is a perfect time to take a vacation.

After Ford pardoned Nixon his future political aspirations went in the toilet. I'm sure Mikey has political aspirations AT (after tRump). Can tRump reliability count on a pardon from Mikey if he bails before inauguration day?

Mikey's Gonna Go Rogue!

A last act of support of the Liar-in-Chief? Will Pence call it for Donny or simply refuse to announce Biden as the election winner? A last act of fealty. I mean whatever Mikey does Biden will be president on Jan 20th. I really don't think the Repubs want to face President Pelosi.

Unfortunately, there is a Trump stays scenario here. If no certified electoral college winner, election might go to House of Representatives for decision, esp. if Supreme Court endorses this move. There, GOP controls enough delegations to make Trump winner.

Something for the More Level Headed to Consider

Explaining how Congress settles electoral college disputes

"Under the federal statute, the vice president’s role is “to preserve order” at the joint meeting. “This authority may be interpreted as encompassing the authority to decide questions of order, but the statute is not explicit on this point,” said the CRS. In past meetings, the vice president has ruled on questions about how the session should be conducted in compliance with federal statutes, which limit motions and almost all debate at the joint session.

In past meetings, the vice president has ruled on questions about how the session should be conducted in compliance with federal statutes, which limit motions and almost all debate at the joint session. The vice president is also allowed to call for objections when electoral votes are announced and to state the results of those objections after the House and Senate meet separately to consider them...

If there is an objection to an elector or electors on January 6, 2021, there is a recent precedent. In January 2005, Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Senator Barbara Boxer objected to Ohio’s electoral votes for George W. Bush, alleging “they were not in all known circumstances regularly given.” The House and Senate met separately as required and using a roll call vote the objections were widely rejected. The House denied the objection in 31-267 vote, and the Senate denied it in a 1-74 vote."

How do you figure that the GOP would control the House of Representatives? Last I checked the Dems control the House in 2021.
