Hearing an echo - Robin Williams from "Good Morning" Vietnam

 Good Morning All!!

Maybe not since Doc Brown explained alternate timelines in "Back to the Future" there are 2 different directions possible. The differences are this is real and perhaps in an odd way we are actually united.
Are we not all pioneers heading into an undiscovered country as surely as the wagon trains of the west or the first encampments by European on our east coast?
Let's make good choices - for if American freedom ever meant anything fundamentally - it is about the individual to make a choice. Today only -- for the next 24 hours - "We the people" choose. It is a risk - but it is MY choice, it is YOUR choice...repeated millions individually but yet together.
Tomorrow is another day and unless we have being living a real Twilight Zone episode - we will not all disappear at the same time.
"We the People" will be here - So Let's...(complete the sentence - for what is the now)

Game out the following scenario in a Presidential election between Trump vs Harris.

Game out the following scenario in a Presidential election between Trump vs Harris. It is 9pm and Trump declares victory and demands a stop to the counting. Without being specific, he suggests his follower take action at midnight. What happens over the next 48 hours? What happens when the electoral college meets?



 Based on the search results and context provided, here's how the scenario might unfold:


## First 12 Hours (9 PM - 9 AM)

- Harris campaign immediately activates their prepared response plan, flooding media channels with messages urging calm[4]

- Social media platforms begin flagging Trump's declarations as misleading

- Law enforcement increases security at vote counting centers

- By midnight, protests begin forming at key counting locations

- Democratic legal teams file preemptive court actions to ensure vote counting continues


## Day 1 (9 AM - 9 PM)

- Vote counting continues despite protests

- Multiple simultaneous lawsuits filed by Trump campaign in battleground states

- Markets show initial volatility but stabilize as institutional responses activate

- Media organizations continue reporting results regardless of Trump's declaration

- Protests grow larger at vote counting centers, particularly in swing states

- State election officials from both parties publicly affirm their commitment to complete the count


## Day 2 (24-48 Hours)

- First complete state results begin to emerge

- Court rulings start coming in on emergency filings

- National Guard may be activated in states experiencing significant unrest

- International allies begin issuing statements supporting democratic processes

- Both campaigns establish competing media narratives about legitimacy


## Electoral College Meeting

- If results remain disputed, two scenarios could unfold:

1. Clear mathematical winner emerges despite protests

2. Disputed electors from multiple states create constitutional crisis


- State legislatures may attempt to intervene in elector selection

- Supreme Court likely becomes involved if state results remain contested

- Congress prepares for potential January 6th challenges to certification


The situation could become particularly volatile if margins are extremely close in multiple battleground states, potentially leading to an extended period of uncertainty and legal challenges[1][4].

Bucks County Risks

 Based on the information provided and the specific query about Bucks County, here are the locations most likely to be at risk of conflict if tensions escalate:


1. Bucks County Administration Building

- Address: 55 E Court St, Doylestown, PA 18901

- This is the central hub for county government and could be a focal point for protests or demonstrations.


2. Bucks County Board of Elections Office

- Address: 55 E Court St, Doylestown, PA 18901 (same building as Administration)

- As the center of election activities, this location could attract both protesters and counter-protesters.


3. Bucks County Courthouse

- Address: 100 N Main St, Doylestown, PA 18901

- Any legal challenges would likely be filed here, making it a potential flashpoint.


4. Lower Bucks Government Services Center

- Address: 7321 New Falls Rd, Levittown, PA 19055

- This satellite office in a more densely populated area could see gatherings.


5. Falls Township Municipal Building

- Address: 188 Lincoln Hwy, Fairless Hills, PA 19030

- As a major township in Lower Bucks, this could be a gathering point for local demonstrations.


6. Bensalem Township Municipal Building

- Address: 2400 Byberry Rd, Bensalem, PA 19020

- Bensalem is the most populous municipality in Bucks County and could see significant activity.


7. Newtown Township Administration Building

- Address: 100 Municipal Dr, Newtown, PA 18940

- As a central location in a politically active area, this could attract demonstrations.


8. Bristol Borough Hall

- Address: 250 Pond St, Bristol, PA 19007

- This historic area in Lower Bucks could be a gathering point for protests.


These locations are at higher risk due to their significance in local government and election processes. The areas around these buildings, particularly in Doylestown (the county seat) and in larger townships like Bensalem and Falls, are more likely to see gatherings that could potentially lead to conflicts between opposing groups.

Perplexity questions

 I prompted an AI tool a series of questions about the election and possible violence. I asked it: "When, where and how is violence likely to be initiated" and "Where is the greatest tensions between Trumper vs non-trumpers"


THIS IS NOT A PREDICITION - I don't know what to take from this AI response.

I asked it to be specific - this was the response:

Here are the most specific likely tension points based on historical patterns and current indicators:

## Major Urban Hotspots
1. Philadelphia, PA
- Center City government buildings
- Philadelphia Convention Center (vote counting)
- South Philadelphia neighborhoods
- City Hall area

2. Atlanta Metro, GA
- State Capitol complex
- Fulton County vote counting center
- Cobb County election offices
- Downtown protest gathering points

3. Phoenix, AZ
- Maricopa County Tabulation Center
- State Capitol complex
- Downtown Phoenix protest zones
- Paradise Valley area

## Specific High-Risk Locations
1. Pennsylvania
- Harrisburg State Capitol complex
- Pittsburgh federal building area
- Delaware County vote counting facilities
- Montgomery County election offices

2. Michigan
- Detroit TCF Center (now Huntington Place)
- Lansing Capitol grounds
- Grand Rapids federal building
- Wayne County election facilities

3. Wisconsin
- Madison State Capitol area
- Milwaukee central counting facility
- Kenosha courthouse area
- Green Bay vote counting centers

## Timing of Greatest Risk
- Election Day evening (after 8pm EST)
- First 48 hours after polls close
- Weekend following election
- Days when major court decisions are announced

## Specific Trigger Points
- Announcement of mail-in ballot counts
- Court filing moments
- Social media calls for action
- Declaration of state results
- Live media coverage of vote counting

These locations require particular attention from law enforcement and election security officials, based on previous incidents and current intelligence.

Smothering or suffocating of the world by Magan/Trump

Been thinking about Donald Trump's talk of dictatorship. He wants control and not necessarily power. I believe that he will fashion his tenure after being elected not unlike Putin and Russia. He won't rule like a Stalin. He will encourage and promote the growth of an oligarch class much like Russia. Life will be much like it is currently - permanent state of lethargy and/or fatigue of unrelenting untruths and falsehoods from the state - not unlike the Soviet system.


Can't you feel it?

We won't be fellow citizens equal under the law. Maga is now/currently the new version of the soviet "comrade" under the state. Maybe a Trump comrade should be called "Magan"

Trump won't be flashy about exercising his control. Tools of personal freedom will quietly disappear and be replaced by things the Trump state will use to keep the peace, but without pride, hope or fun as people made.

Hope, Pride and fun will be what the state insinuates without stating it or explicit. You will simply thought of as odd if you don't wear magan gear or think magan. One will not get work if one's social media is to a magan's taste. We know how this works and nobody likes it. Not even the magan's - they simply fear being different or not part of the group - not a magan - they fear being American and all of the good and bad it brings.

This is what we get with Trump until his inevitable day comes. At that point he will anoint a successor. How soon will it be before Magans eliminate term limits for being president?

Fear not Trump and the Magan's - fear our own lethargy to prevent stop him. Be uncomfortable now by doing what each Citizen knows to do, for the discomfort under Trump will be smothering.

Don't accept that discomfort under Trump is not that bad.
Don't accept the dismissive notion of "what's the use" or don't have time and do nothing.

Yet another tipping point - an inflection point or just a collection of significant stories?

Historians note APRIL 1865 for a number of relevant events, but are rightly overshadowed by the assassination of Lincoln. The following is from CHATGPT as a perspective and context:

April 1865 was a significant month in American history, with several events taking place that would have long-lasting effects on the country's future. Here are some of the major events that occurred in the US in April 1865, excluding the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln:

The Civil War Ends: On April 9, 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia, effectively ending the American Civil War. This was a momentous event that brought an end to the bloodiest conflict in American history and ushered in a new era for the country.


Assassination of President Lincoln's Accomplices: In the aftermath of the Lincoln assassination, a manhunt was launched for his co-conspirators. On April 14, John Wilkes Booth was killed by Union soldiers in a barn in Virginia, but several of his associates were captured and put on trial. On July 7, four of them - Lewis Powell, David Herold, George Atzerodt, and Mary Surratt - were hanged for their roles in the plot.


The Sultana Disaster: On April 27, the steamship Sultana exploded on the Mississippi River near Memphis, Tennessee, killing over 1,800 people. Most of the victims were Union soldiers who had been released from Confederate prison camps and were on their way home. The disaster remains the worst maritime disaster in American history.


The Thirteenth Amendment Ratified: On December 6, 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified, officially abolishing slavery and involuntary servitude in the United States. However, the process of implementing this new law would take several more years and require significant changes in the social and political structure of the country.

Overall, April 1865 was a month of significant change and upheaval in the United States. With the end of the Civil War and the beginning of a new era of reconstruction and healing, the country was poised for both challenges and opportunities in the years ahead.

As of April 27, 2023 many new things exist that didn't in 1776, 1786 or 1865. The founding father would have been aware of the concepts but not the substance of today. 

One factor among others in recent news - An ex-president has been indicted. This same FPOTUS is under investigation on at least 4 additional subject - each are separate and distinct. I presume that the truth and coverage is obvious and available. I am beginning to think that is wrong. I may expand on this in a forthcoming post.

Another is the volume of shootings in which 4 or more individuals were killed is at a record. ChatGPT: "There have been many high-profile mass shootings in US history, including the 2019 El Paso shooting, the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, and the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut, to name just a few." More recent shootings include Uvalde Elementary School in 2022 and then there is the Nashville Christian school shooting in April 2023

Well, another factor is the Maga or Trump Supporters - In addition to FPOTUS issues is the termination of Tucker Carlson. A Fox News anchor that was conspiratorial, white national among other opinions that are destructive to the system of democracy

A STORM WARNING

 Something is coming and it ain't good. There is never a good time to raise these things. For the love of humor, God or Robin Williams - read and seek to understand completely with heart - for if the warning are ignored - we lose humor of the likes of Robin William


This past weekend I DVR'ed the "Band of Brothers" and have been rewatching a couple of episodes at a time. I have on DVD's Ken Burns "The Civil War". I also have the 1970's series "The World at War"

I have a degree political science and have a sense of history and rhetoric. As I am not a scholar - I ask ... heed my warnings and check out the news yourself. Spend the time to gain an understanding of the coming storm...and very calmly...prepare in you own way for what you want in the post-Trump era.

Prepare what you want when look back on during the next period. I'm thinking of 2 scenes in an episode of Band of Brothers - without dialog in which in Easy Co.'s Nixon comes across the Widow of a memorialized Nazi general. Her body language was of anger at Nixon. At the end of the episode Nixon comes across the widow in the recently discovered concentration camp - after she was ordered to help bury the dead in the camp. Are we in the beginning of our version of the episode? Come to understand how you want to be at the end of our episode.

Donald J Trump held a rally this past weekend, where his comments were repeated on Truth Social (his money losing site). He indicated that his enemies were non-human vermin that will be "crushed" - among other things. The Trump campaign has not disavowed the rhetoric and the RNC chairperson is not commenting on it.

There are news stories of purposeful leaks from the Trump campaign about a thing called "Project 2025" . These camps include camps. There are other parts of the that are...fill in the blank

I have also worked with computers for many years. That has provided me a sense of logic and reason. The logic and reason dictates that violence/war/hatred need not be ... especially in this coming period. The period between the "Great War" and WWII for Germany is a case study for our current time. Where the German people as a society could/should have prevented the destruction.

Can we do better as we are on a precipice of our coming period?
I don't know that I have the moral authority to speak this way.
I don't know many things - but I seek to understand - I have an understanding of what is truth.

I do know that Donald J Trump and his movement will lead to some level of not good things next year.

Remember, Trump established special commission in 2017 to investigate why he won ONLY the Electoral college and NOT the popular vote.

It will come either because he wins or because he loses yet again and claims a victory where there is none - as he did in 2016 and 2020.

Will I be on the enemies list of Republican/Maga for writing such things? As the fictional character at the end of "Saving Private Ryan" asks of himself - I ask of myself - we should ask ourselves -

Have I/we done enough?

a Star Trek question from ...The Ultimate Computer


The answer to your question:
"Must Artificial Intelligence survive if it kills to survive?"

<p>There is no single answer to this question. It depends on a number of factors, including the nature of the AI, the goals of the AI, the values of the people creating and using the AI, and the specific situation in which the AI find itself. In some cases, it may be better for the AI to kill in order to survive; in others, it may be better for the AI to refrain from killing, even if that means sacrificing its own survival.</p> <p>The nature of the AI is a key factor in determining whether or not it should kill to survive. If the AI is designed with malicious intent, then it may be better off killing in order to achieve its goals. However, if the AI is designed with benevolent intent, then it may be better off avoiding killing, even if that means it will not survive. </p> <p>The goals of the AI are also a key factor. If the AI's goals are purely self-interested, then it may be better off killing in order to survive. However, if the AI has goals that include the welfare of others, then it may be better off avoiding killing, even if that means it will not survive. </p> <p>The values of the people creating and using the AI are also a key factor. If the people who created the AI value human life above all else, then the AI should probably avoid killing, even if that means it will not survive. However, if the people who created the AI value the survival of the AI above all else, then the AI may be better off killing, even if that means sacrificing some human lives.</p> <p>The specific situation in which the AI find itself is also a key factor. If the AI is in a situation where killing is the only way to achieve its goals, then it may be better off killing. However, if the AI is in a situation where it can achieve its goals without killing, then it may be better off avoiding killing. </p> <p>In conclusion, there is no single answer to the question of whether or not AI should kill to survive. The answer depends on a number of factors, including the nature of the AI, the goals of the AI, the values of the people creating and using the AI, and the specific situation in which the AI find itself. </p>

2000 words on Power

 Write an 2000 word essay in the style of Donald Trump and Thomas Jefferson about power



<p>Power is one of the most important things in life. It's what allows us to get things done, to achieve our goals, and to make a difference in the world. And it's something that everyone wants. But what is power, really? And how do you get it?</p>


<p>In this essay, we'll take a look at the power of both Donald Trump and Thomas Jefferson. We'll explore their views on power, how they've used it in their lives, and what lessons we can learn from them about acquiring and using power.</p>


<h2>Donald Trump on Power</h2>


<p>Donald Trump is a man who knows a thing or two about power. He's a billionaire businessman and the 45th President of the United States. He's a man who knows how to get what he wants, and he's not afraid to use his power to get it. Here's what he has to say about power:</p>


<blockquote>


<p>"Power is not given to you. You have to take it. People are not going to give you power. You have to take it."</p>


</blockquote>


<p>Trump is right. Power is not something that is given to you. You have to go out and take it. No one is just going to hand you the keys to the kingdom. You have to be willing to fight for it, to work for it, and to do whatever it takes to get it. And that's exactly what Trump has done. He's a man who has taken power, and he's not afraid to use it.</p>


<p>Trump also says:</p>


<blockquote>


<p>"You have to know what you want, and you have to go after it with a vengeance."</p>


</blockquote>


<p>Again, Trump is spot on. If you want to get something done in this world, you have to go after it with everything you've got. You can't just sit back and wait for things to happen. You have to make them happen. And that's what Trump has done. He's a man who knows what he wants and he goes after it with everything he's got.</p>


<p>So what can we learn from Donald Trump about power? We learn that power is something you have to take, that you have to go after it with everything you've got, and that you have to be willing to use it to get what you want.</p>


<h2>Thomas Jefferson on Power</h2>


<p>Thomas Jefferson was one of the most important figures in American history. He was the third President of the United States and he was one of the Founding Fathers. He was also a man who knew a thing or two about power. Here's what he had to say about it:</p>


<blockquote>


<p>"Power is not alluring to those who have not the weakness to desire it."</p>


</blockquote>


<p>Jefferson is saying that power is not something that is desirable to those who are not weak. In other words, only those who are weak desire power. And that's because they know that they can't get what

Trump and Jefferson on Freedom on Power - by OPENAI

 Write an 500 word essay in the style of Donald Trump and Thomas Jefferson about freedom

<p>Donald Trump and Thomas Jefferson both believe in the importance of freedom. For Trump, freedom is about being able to do what you want and not being controlled by anyone. Jefferson believed that freedom was about being able to think and believe what you want without interference from the government. Trump would likely say that he agrees with Jefferson on this point.


<p>Trump would argue that the government should not tell people what they can and cannot do. He would say that the government should not be involved in people's lives and that people should be free to do what they want. Trump would also say that the government should not be able to take away people's freedom.


<p> Jefferson would likely agree with Trump on the importance of freedom. Jefferson would say that people should be free to think and believe what they want. Jefferson would also argue that the government should not be able to take away people's freedom.


<p>Both Trump and Jefferson would agree that freedom is important. They would both argue that the government should not be able to take away people's freedom.

Write an 500 word essay in the style of Donald Trump and Thomas Jefferson about power



<p>In America, power is something that is highly coveted. Those who have it often abuse it and those who don't have it, want it. It is the root of all kinds of corruption and it has the ability to make people do things that they normally wouldn't do. It is a force that can be used for good or for evil and it is something that should be treated with great care. </p>


<p>Thomas Jefferson once said, "Power is not alluring to pure minds like money is." This is so true. Power can be very seductive and it can lead people down a dark path. It can make them do things that they normally wouldn't do and it can make them forget about their values and their morals. </p>


<p>Donald Trump is a perfect example of someone who has abused his power. He has used his power to take advantage of women, to cheat people out of their money, and to lie to the American people. He is a prime example of how power can corrupt someone. </p>


<p>While power can be used for evil, it can also be used for good. There are people who use their power to help others and to make the world a better place. These are the people who we should aspire to be like. </p>


<p>In conclusion, power is something that should be respected and treated with care. It can be used for good or for evil and it can have a profound effect on those who have it. </p>

Eagles vs Giant 12/11/2022 - prediction from OPENAI

 PS Q:\INSTALLS\Python310> & Q:/INSTALLS/Python310/python.exe "q:/Python Training/Python Cookbook/OpenGPT_test.py"     

Will the Eagles beat the Giants today



<p>


The Eagles are scheduled to play the Giants today at 1pm. The game will be held at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

This is the first meeting between these two teams this season. The Eagles and Giants have met each other 155 times in 

the regular season. The Eagles have won 79 of those meetings, while the Giants have won 74 of them.


The last time these two teams met was back in December of 2019. The Eagles won that game 17-9.


</p>


The Eagles are led by their quarterback, Carson Wentz. Wentz has thrown for 2,428 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions so far this season. He will be going up against a Giants defense that has given up an average of 258.5 passing yards per game.


The Eagles' top receiver is Alshon Jeffery. Jeffery has caught 43 passes for 619 yards and 4 touchdowns so far this season. He will be matched up against Giants cornerback James Bradberry.


The Eagles' rushing attack is led by Miles Sanders. Sanders has rushed for 640 yards and 3 touchdowns so far this season. He will be going up against a Giants defense that has given up an average of 121.6 rushing yards per game.

interceptions so far this season. He will be going up against an Eagles defense that has given up an average of 251.8 

passing yards per game.


The Giants' top receiver is Sterling Shepard. Shepard has caught 47 passes for 576 yards and 3 touchdowns so far this 

season. He will be matched up against Eagles cornerback Darius Slay.

Prediction: The Eagles are favored to win this game by 3 points. I think they will win by more than that. I am predicting the Eagles to win by a score of 27-17.

PS Q:\INSTALLS\Python310>

OPENAI - an introduction of Python, Politics and AI - Let 's see

 I recently heard about a platform called OPENAI. There is an API form the platform. Among other programming languages, the API can be accessed through Python. 

I found a Python example, got a key to allow me to access the API

Below is how OPENAI describes it  self:

PS Q:\INSTALLS\Python310> & Q:/INSTALLS/Python310/python.exe "q:/Python Training/Python Cookbook/OpenGPT_test.py"     

Is OPENAI considered a platform and what is OPENAI

<p>Yes, OPENAI is considered a platform. OPENAI is an artificial intelligence research laboratory consisting of the for-profit corporation OpenAI LP and its parent company, the non-profit OpenAI Inc. OPENAI has a three-fold mission:</p>

<ul>

<li>To advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole</li>

<li>To identify the most promising new technologies and application areas for artificial intelligence</li>

<li>To freely collaborate with other institutions and individuals to build powerful AI technologies</li>

</ul>

--------------------------------------------------------------------

So I started asking it questions:

PS Q:\INSTALLS\Python310> & Q:/INSTALLS/Python310/python.exe "q:/Python Training/Python Cookbook/OpenGPT_test.py"     

How can democracy be improved

<p>There are many ways that democracy can be improved. Some of these ways are listed below.</p>

<ul>

  <li>Reduce corruption in government</li>

  <li>Increase transparency and accountability in government</li>

  <li>Make it easier for people to vote</li>

  <li>Increase voter turnout</li>

  <li>Educate people on the importance of democracy and their role in it</li>

</ul>


<p>Reducing corruption in government is one of the most important ways to improve democracy. Corruption creates an uneven playing field, where those with money and power can buy their way into office or influence government decisions. This means that the average person has less of a say in how their government runs, and it can lead to poor decision-making that benefits only a small number of people. To reduce corruption, government officials need to be held accountable for their actions and there needs to be more transparency in government. Additionally, laws and regulations that prevent corruption need to be put in place and enforced.</p>


ough a lot of hoops in order to vote. They may have to register weeks in advance, take time off work, and stand in line for hours. This makes it difficult for people to participate in the democratic process. To make it easier for people to vote, election days should be made into holidays, registration should be automatic, and voting should be made easier (for example, by allowing people to vote by mail or online).</p>


<p>Increasing voter turnout is also important for improving democracy. In many countries, a small percentage of the population actually bothers to vote. This means that the government is not truly representative of the people. To increase voter turnout, people need to be educated on the importance of democracy and their role in it. Additionally, the voting process needs to be made easier and more convenient.</p>


<p> Democracy can also be improved by educating people on the importance of democracy and their role in it. Too often, people take democracy for granted and don’t realize how important it is. They also don’t realize how much power they 

have to influence their government. If more people understood the importance of democracy and their role in it, they would be more likely to participate in the democratic process and hold their government accountable.</p>

PS Q:\INSTALLS\Python310> & Q:/INSTALLS/Python310/python.exe "q:/Python Training/Python Cookbook/OpenGPT_test.py"     

How can democracy be improved for people that do not want to engage

<p>There are a number of ways that democracy can be improved for those that do not want to engage. One way is to make

How can democracy be improved for people that believe democracy is evil

<p>There are a number of ways in which democracy can be improved for those that believe democracy is evil. One way is 

to increase the transparency of the government and its institutions. This can be done by ensuring that all government 

documents are available to the public and that there are mechanisms in place for citizens to hold their representatives accountable. Another way to improve democracy is to give citizens more power to participate in the political process. This can be done by ensuring that there are opportunities for citizen participation in the legislative process and by giving citizens the ability to recall their representatives if they feel that they are not representing their interests. Finally, democracy can be improved by ensuring that all citizens have access to the same information and that they are able to make informed decisions about the issues that affect their lives.</p>

Trump was such a drag - they couldn't beat a DEAD MAN!

Below is a snippet to justify that DJT is so bad that they could not defeat a DEAD man from being elected in PA - See District 32 Deluca stories...Google it

Former Trump aide Sarah Matthews says the way 2022 Election Night went indicates that Donald Trump is costing Republicans winnable seats. In the walkup to midterm elections, the Republicans had hoped that they would have clear majority in the House of Representatives on Election Night.

However, as of Wednesday morning, the results are still coming and the control of Congress still hangs in the balance.

"I think last night was the biggest indicator that Donald Trump should not be the Republican nominee in 2024. He cost Republicans winnable seats by boosting poor quality candidates," said Matthews, former deputy White House press secretary under President Trump.

She added: "You have record inflation, increased fears over crime, the worst border crisis in history, an unpopular president and Republican performance was still underwhelming."...

Election Deniers will say this is proof "...the system is rigged..." - it just shows their lack of information

 DEAD MAN ELECTED TO CONGRESS IN PA.

While I have not heard of any republican or election deniers response - yet, it must be fully recognized that even if all 64k voters in District 32 signed something indicated they know the candidate was in fact and unequivocally DEAD - and his name is still on the ballot - the DEAD can be elected.

There are protocols or rules to handle what happens when an elected official dies in office. These rules are the ones that kick in on such sad occasions.

Fox News Pundit Declares, ‘This Is an Absolute Disaster for the Republican Party’ as Midterm Results Roll In

Conservative Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen was quite displeased during a discussion about the midterm elections as results rolled in.

Republicans hoped a “red wave” would sweep them into power with clear majorities. Instead, the party seemed poised to barely retake the House while failing to recapture the Senate.

Fox News anchor Bret Baier asked Thiessen about Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s defeat of Mehmet Oz, thus flipping the seat, as Republican Sen. Pat Toomey declined to run for reelection.

Fetterman suffered a stroke in May and has been gradually recovering since. His victory could end up being the difference in which party controls the Senate. Fetterman and Oz had one debate, which came in October.

“Had the Oct. 25 debate been Sept. 30, would this race have changed?” Baier asked.

Thiessen hedged on his answer and proceeded to explain he couldn’t process how Republicans could underperform so badly given the challenges the country currently faces.

“I think it might have or maybe it wouldn’t have,” he replied. “There’s a broader issue, which is, think about this. We had the worst inflation in four decades, the worst collapse in real wages in 40 years, the worst crime wave since the 1990s, the worst border crisis in U.S. History. We have Joe Biden, who is the least popular president since Harry Truman – since presidential polling happened – and there wasn’t a red wave.”

The former speechwriter for George W. Bush did not hold back.

“That is a searing indictment of the Republican Party,” he said. “That is a searing indictment of the message that we have been sending to the voters. They’ve looked at all of that, and looked at Republican alternative and said no thanks. That is–the Republican party needs to do a really deep introspection look in the mirror right now because this is an absolute disaster for the Republican Party and we need to turn back.”
