So the Rockettes should "do their job" but pharmacists who don't want to give birth control or bakers that won't serve gay people shouldn't?

Electors demand intelligence briefing before Electoral College vote
Source: Politico
At least 10 members of the Electoral College, including Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosis daughter Christine and a former member of Congress, are demanding a briefing from U.S. intelligence officials on any ongoing investigations into Donald Trumps ties to Russia.
In a letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper the electors -- nine Democrats and one Republican -- argue that they require the information ahead of Dec. 19, when the Electoral College is set to meet and select the next president.
The Electors require to know from the intelligence community whether there are ongoing investigations into ties between Donald Trump, his campaign or associates, and Russian government interference in the election, the scope of those investigations, how far those investigations may have reached, and who was involved in those investigations, they wrote. We further require a briefing on all investigative findings, as these matters directly impact the core factors in our deliberations of whether Mr. Trump is fit to serve as President of the United States.
The letter is signed by electors from five states and the District of Columbia. In addition to Christine Pelosi a California elector it includes a signature from one former members of Congress: New Hampshires Carol Shea Porter, who recently won election to her former House seat.

Personally, I love that Trump said the popular vote was "rigged"
We now know that it must REALLY be eating him up that he lost the popular vote and that more voters wanted Hillary and not him. This just proves it.
We all know about Trump's massive ego. He's feeling massive cognitive dissonance from the conflict between him being convinced that he's the Second Coming and the reality of him LOSING the popular vote.
How does he deal with it? It must be rigged! Why doesn't he want a recount if he truly thinks he actually won the popular vote? Because deep down he knows he lost.
Ken Blackwell: Trump admin will "make the trains run on time"
Not the Onion.
So far, the Trump camp has not responded to the criticism of Bannon, and what has come out of the campaign has not been encouraging. Bannon is going to be keeper of the image of Trump as a fighter against the status quo, and Reince is going to utilize his personal connections with the speaker and others, to make the trains run on time, Ken Blackwell, a former Ohio state official and a member of the Trump transition team, told The Wall Street Journal. When you are trying to convince America that its new leader is not a fascist, its best not to make any Mussolini references.
NSA Chief: WikiLeaks Hacks of Democrats' Emails Were a "Conscious Effort by a Nation-State"
The WikiLeaks release of internal emails from the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign constituted a "conscious effort by a nation-state to attempt to achieve a specific effect," the head of the National Security Agency said Tuesday.
"There shouldn't be any doubt in anybody's mind," NSA Director Michael S. Rogers said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. "This was not something that was done casually, this was not something that was done by chance. This was not a target that was selected purely arbitrarily." Rogers acknowledged in October that Russians were behind the hacks.
News that the DNC had been compromised broke earlier this June, when hacker Guccifer 2.0 released a trove of documents containing campaign emails and memosmost notably emails implying that the committee favored Clinton over Sen. Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primary. The release of the emails led to the resignation of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.
WikiLeaks also published thousands of emails from John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chair. Though Russia was long suspected of being behind the hacks, US officials did not formally accuse the Russian government of orchestrating the cyber attacks until October. In November, just four days before the election, DNC officials told Mother Jones they had found evidence that the DNC headquarters may have been bugged and had submitted a report to the FBI.
