Even if Ol’ Punkinhead loses, he will be a lame duck for 11 weeks until 1/20/21. The lame duck Congress will exist until its final session closes. The next Congress won’t convene until 1/3/21. The EC tally (thus the official result) won’t be made until 1/6/21. In other words, he, in concert with Moscow Mitch, will have almost 3 months to keep running the wrecking ball after the election. I won’t be surprised if Ol’ Punkinhead declares (or tries to declare) martial law soon after the election, if he loses in the popular vote; regardless of the putative EC outcome. If so, then it will be interesting to see the consequences of that move. I’m reminded of Jed Leland’s response to Kane’s cynical paean to “the People”: “You talk about the People as though you owned them. As though they belong to you. Goodness. As long as I can remember, you’ve talked about giving the people their rights as though you could make them a present of liberty, as a reward for services rendered. … You’re not gonna like it one bit when you find out your workingman expects something as his right, and not as your gift. When your precious underprivileged really get together, O boy. That’ll add up to something bigger than your privilege, then I don’t know what you’ll do.” (cf. “Citizen Kane”, scene 18)
I am very allergic to Codine. The world suddenly becomes all sparkly and I don’t care what happens. Even if I am quite a bit of pain or have people to take care of – I lose the ability to care anymore. It takes quite a few days to get me out of this state.
The only way Jan. 1 will be Back To Normal… is if my doctor insists I start on a huge bottle of Codine… on Dec. 31 and I am not to stop taking them until the prescription empties in 90 days.

Unless the unimaginable happens. You can toss the key in the ocean if that is the case (shudder).

You might want to have a contingency plan, just in case.
