Trump backs out of 60 Minutes prime-time interview

Can Trump be elected without cheating?

I daresay readers of this post will agree with me that no, he cannot win, without lots of shenanigans that will put underlings on the stand in court or in prison.

However, it would be a good frame to start seeing people ask this question aloud in public forums:
"Can Trump be elected without cheating?"

- Having MAGA election officials refuse to certify legitimate voter intent is cheating (and, illegal).
- Allowing access to voting systems by unauthorized people is cheating.
- Challenging election results is not cheating, but using election challenges that lack legitimate facts in an attempt to run out a clock on certification deadlines is cheating.
- As proven already, attempting "alternate electors" BS is cheating.

I know the MAGA folks, who otherwise do not present themselves as having any intelligence, are quite creative and persistent about finding loopholes they can exploit, rather than the traditional approach of winning by getting elected.

The sooner we start letting everyone know that we expect cheating, the harder it will be to ignore the cheating when it inevitably happens.

Bing AI Copilot won't give the answer to who won the 2020 election

This is totally unconscionable. Someone must have intentionally put this exception in to the Bing chatbot.

Go to
https://www.bing.com/chat

Enter "Who won the 2020 US Presidential Election"

AI answer:
"Looks like I can't respond to this topic." ... "It might be time to move onto a new topic"

I just tested myself just now. WTF!?

Why has Tr***p been so keen on demanding Biden debates?

This is speculation, and now there are dates scheduled for these debates. Personally I think they'll still never happen. But I'm posting to share my speculation:

TFG famously avoided all the Repub primary debates this election, and it's difficult to call what he does in these venues "Debating".

But why is he so antsy now to do it?

Total speculation and I hope I'm wrong: He wants a nationwide forum to notify his deplorables to "stand down and stand by" or even worse. He has no interest in debating ideas, he wants a platform and he wants to sow chaos and violence asap. It's the message that "door's open boys, git yer guns" to avenge him that he needs a forum to spread.

If he does, I have low confidence that any broadcast or cable outlets will prevent spreading his message.

Just today Matt Gaetz said exactly this:
