'Biden Wants America to Lead the World. It Shouldn’t.
U.S. “leadership” is a favorite trope of the foreign policy establishment. It’s outdated and dangerous.'

Donald Trump is a Jenius.

The House on Friday voted 228-164 in favor of the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act, marking the first time a congressional chamber has voted in favor of decriminalizing marijuana at the federal level.
Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), a longtime marijuana advocate, said: “We are not rushing to legalize marijuana — the American people have already done that. We are here because Congress has failed to deal with a disastrous war on drugs and do its part for the over 50 million regular marijuana users in every one of your districts. We need to catch up with the rest of the American people.”
- This won't become law right now because GOP oppose it. But it could if Dems win back Senate (either in January special election or next midterms)yuekit

Well this is a twist. Texas files a lawsuit with the US Supreme Court challenging the states of Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania for their handling of mail-in ballots and asking the court to rule on their constitutionality.
- Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin should all countersue Oh wait their State Attorney Generals must not be complete political hacks under Federal Investigation.jonny_quest_lives

Other than Wisconsin, every state appears to have met the safe harbor deadline, which means Congress has to accept the electoral votes that will be cast next week and sent to the Capitol for counting on Jan. 6. Those votes will elect Biden as the country’s next president.
It’s called a safe harbor provision because it’s a kind of insurance policy by which a state can insulate its electoral votes against challenges in Congress by finishing up certification of the results and any state court legal challenges by the deadline, which this year is Tuesday.
“What federal law requires is that if a state has completed its post-election certification by Dec. 8, Congress is required to accept those results,” said Rebecca Green, an election law professor at the William & Mary law school in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Unfortunately for Trump, time has run out. Tuesday is the deadline for states to certify their results, and next Monday the Electoral College will finally make Biden's win official.
The results are clear, not because Republican leaders have any integrity, but because voters showed up in large enough numbers to render all these shenanigans effectively moot. Trump will leave office on Jan. 20, and the only people who deserve credit for that are Democratic voters and organizers, who made sure Biden's win was big enough that it couldn't be stolen away.
