County Republican canvassers can't rescind their votes to certify election, says Secretary of State

Source: MLive

Two Republicans serving on the Wayne County Board of Canvassers want to rescind their votes to certify results of the general election.

Monica Palmer and Willam Hartmann initially voted against certifying countywide election results during a Tuesday meeting, later changing their minds and voting in favor of certification on the condition that an independent audit is conducted.

The Secretary of State’s office, however, argues there is no legal mechanism for Palmer and Hartmann to rescind their votes. All 83 counties in Michigan had certified their elections as of Thursday, Nov. 18.

“Their job is done and the next step in the process is for the Board of State Canvassers to meet and certify,” said Tracy Wimmer, spokesperson for Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

Trump's concession speech is when? In all 5 states his lawsuits have failed.

Lawsuits that tried to disrupt Biden's wins in four states are withdrawn.

Time for Trump to call President Elect Biden.

I thought the vaccine was made by Pfizer and they did it without any government help.

Shutting Down COVID-19 Virus’s Destructive Proteins with Aerosolized Molecules - Georgetown University Medical Center

WASHINGTON (November 13, 2020) — Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center have successfully used molecules comprised of small strands of RNA to shut down the production of destructive proteins generated by the COVID-19 virus. Additionally, the researchers are working to aerosolize the RNA molecules so that they could be incorporated in an inhalable drug that would mitigate viral chaos. The finding appears online today in Gene Therapy.

A key to the Georgetown research efforts was the use of either microRNA (miRNA) or silencing RNA (siRNA, also known as small interfering RNA), both of which are RNA molecules. These molecules can guide the ultimate expression of how protein production occurs in a virus. And it is the proteins produced by SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) that wreak havoc in people.

SARS-CoV-2 bears biological similarities to other respiratory viruses, such as the seasonal flu. The use of Tamiflu® (oseltamivir) to treat and prevent infection from the flu has proved to be helpful in lessening flu symptoms and its lethality in some people.

“We believe that our approach suppresses viral protein production and could be used against virtually any respiratory virus,” says G. Ian Gallicano, PhD, associate professor in the Department Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology at Georgetown University Medical Center. “Because of our results, Georgetown University has filed a patent application on on the siRNA sequences that were shown to have the best effect on viral protein suppression.”

Trump seems to suggest Biden 'won' but later says he's not conceding

Source: NBC

President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested that Joe Biden had "won" the presidential election, while saying that the election was rigged -- a claim that has been widely debunked.

"He won because the Election was Rigged," Trump wrote, before falsely claiming that no watchers or observers had been allowed.

snip

One White House official, asked if Trump was admitting Biden won, said: "It looks like it."

Asked if the tweet was the beginning of a Trump version of a concession, the official said, "It very well may be" and noted it was the second such signal Trump had sent in recent days. The first was his Rose Garden slip-up, where he mused on the possibility of another administration taking over. And he has also seemed to admit that Biden had won Arizona.

snip

"He only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA," Trump wrote. "I concede NOTHING!" He went on to repeat his false claim that the election was rigged.

Trump can concede or not concede but the longer this shit show goes on the worse he looks and expecting
Donny to show any kind of grace or statesmanship will never happen.

Fuck him. He is gone on 1/20/21 one way or another.
