Wisconsin Elections Commission finds no wrongdoing by fake electors excerpt: "Joe Biden beat Trump by nearly 21,000 votes in Wisconsin. Those results were upheld by a recount and court rulings, and the state's 10 Democratic electors gathered in the state Capitol on Dec. 14, 2020 to formally send the state's Electoral College votes to Congress. The same day, 10 Republicans got together in the Capitol to do the same. They signed official-looking paperwork claiming to be the state's true electors and sent it to Congress, the National Archives and a federal judge. Republicans took similar actions in six other states that Trump lost. Like their counterparts in Wisconsin, the Republicans in four of those states claimed to be the actual electors. The Republicans in the two other states said they were submitting the paperwork in case a court later found them to be the rightful electors."
Mike Pence anticipated the antics of Trump and read a carefully worded statement in Congress on Jan. 6 that said only legal electoral slates would be accepted for counting. The statement was to prevent a Trump-manufactured contention over multiple electoral slates from the same state submitted to Congress that would create confusion and send the issue back to the swing states that he lost with the hopes that he would somehow retroactively 'win' those states. .

Trump conjured this type of behavior and cultivated it. Like Trump's reaction about the threats against governor Whitmer and Trump's enthusiasts running the Biden bus off the road, Trump can be expected to say that he doesn't see anything wrong with such behavior. Ohio woman charged for racist threats against Mich. Reps | WLNS 6 News excerpt: "LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — An Ohio woman who allegedly threatened two Michigan representatives is facing multiple charges, including ethnic terrorism. Attorney General Dana Nessel announced that Sandra Bachman of Batavia, Ohio is being charged with the following: One count of false report or threat of terrorism, a 20-year felony One count of ethnic intimidation, a two-year felony Two counts of telecommunications services – malicious use, a six-month misdemeanor The attorney general says the 58-year-old woman left threatening voicemails for Rep. Cynthia Johnson and Rep. Sarah Anthony. Prior to being forwarded to the Attorney General, the Michigan State Police investigated the case."":
Not only is this proof of the failure of the mental health system, it is also an indictment of the education system.
Trump is surprised about his cohort. Trump says he's 'surprised' Putin ordered Ukraine invasion excerpt: "Former President Trump said he didn't think Russian President Vladimir Putin would go through with an invasion of Ukraine in an interview with the Washington Examiner published Tuesday. “I’m surprised — I’m surprised. I thought he was negotiating when he sent his troops to the border. I thought he was negotiating,” Trump told the outlet in a phone interview. “I thought it was a tough way to negotiate but a smart way to negotiate.” Putin sent more than 150,000 troops to the border of Ukraine before he began a war that has already cost thousands of lives in three weeks. “I figured he was going to make a good deal like everybody else does with the United States and the other people they tend to deal with — you know, like every trade deal. We’ve never made a good trade deal until I came along,” Trump said. “And then he went in — and I think he’s changed. I think he’s changed. It’s a very sad thing for the world. He’s very much changed.”"
Wisconsin Elections Commission finds no wrongdoing by fake electors excerpt: "Among the six commissioners who concluded there was no evidence of election violations was Bob Spindell, who is also one of the 10 Republicans who posed as an elector in December 2020."
Bob Spindell was a fake elector and on the commission. He acquitted himself of wrongdoing. That's as bad as Daffy Duck marauding the city and painting mustaches on everyone. He was acquitted by an all-mustache jury. Then he went on a campaign of painting beards.
Fox News stays silent as Putin turns Tucker Carlson into propaganda pawn excerpt: "Fox News has remained mum as Kremlin-backed state media used clips of the network's host Tucker Carlson defending Russian President Vladimir Putin amid his invasion of Ukraine. As Carlson faced scrutiny for his comments about Putin in the United States, several clips from his show have been used in Russian news, and an apparent new memo alleges the Russian government has requested media, including RT, to play his clip. One clip played on RT showed Carlson' defense of Putin, where he rhetorically asked: "Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? Has he shipped every middle-class job in my town to Russia? Did he manufacture a worldwide pandemic?" Another featured a conversation between Carlson and retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor, who predicted Russia would "annihilate" Ukrainian troops if they did not surrender."
Trump pick in Georgia governor race not drawing donor flock excerpt: "Kolber, founder and chairman of Residco, a Chicago aviation and rail transportation logistics firm and a former two-time Republican House candidate in Illinois, said his sense was that many Republicans nationally “were just mad as hell at Trump for the whole post-election situation.” That refers to Trump’s lies about the 2020 election playing a role in depressing Republican turnout and costing the party both Perdue’s Senate seat and a second Georgia Senate seat in January 2021. “I sense that’s softening now,” Kolber added, but perhaps not fast enough to buoy Perdue, especially given that Kemp has been a solid governor."
Trump should be backing governor Kemp. But he isn't, because Kemp wouldn't overturn the 2020 election for him in Georgia. He's backing Georgia U.S. Senate special election 2021 loser Perdue, whose Trump-induced loss flipped control of the Senate back to Democrats.

FBI: Arizona man who assaulted officers at Jan. 6 Capitol riot arrested in Tucson excerpt: "TUCSON, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) - An Arizona man who federal authorities say participated in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and assaulted officers has been arrested in Tucson. According to the FBI, 50-year-old Jacob Zerkle from Bowie, Arizona is criminally charged in D.C. for his role in breaching the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, while Congress was in the process of counting electoral votes for the presidential election. Federal court documents state on that day Zerkle fought with multiple officers on the West Lawn from the Metropolitan Police Department who were trying to protect Capitol grounds. Authorities say Zerkle threw several punches at one officer, pushed at least one other officer, and grabbed another officer’s baton. The officers were trying to get to the Lower West Terrance to reinforce other officers there. Zerkle was charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, civil disorder, and engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds. Zerkle was arrested in Tucson and made his initial appearance Tuesday afternoon with the Federal District of Arizona.
