It&#8217;s been clear all along that the only court that Trump cared about was the court of public opinion where he could lie without the risk of committing perjury.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing that campaign of disinformation, Trump got up early Monday morning to dispatch his Propaganda Advance Team. Their Senior White Nationalist Advisor, Stephen Miller, appeared on Fox News to deliver the administration&#8217;s sermon on anti-democratic election theft. And Miller&#8217;s presentation to the <em>&#8220;Curvy Couch&#8221;<\/em> potatoes of Fox and Friends was every thing you would expect:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The only date in the Constitution is January 20, so we have more than enough time to right the wrong of this fraudulent election and certify Donald Trump as the winner of the election. As we speak, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote and we are going to send those results to Congress. This will insure that all of our legal remedies remain open. That means that if we win these cases in the courts, that we can direct the alternate slate of electors to be certified.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Stephen Miller says Trump electors will be voting and sending results to Congress. <\/p>\n<p>(They&#39;ll be worthless because they won&#39;t have the seals of the state Secretaries of State, though) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/B9pKXqYGIa\">pic.twitter.com\/B9pKXqYGIa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Andrew Feinberg (@AndrewFeinberg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AndrewFeinberg\/status\/1338482805299351552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 14, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Miller asserted that upon completion of their ludicrous machinations <em>&#8220;Donald Trump is the winner of this election.&#8221;<\/em> He further claimed that he had <em>&#8220;hundreds of violations that we&#8217;re documented.&#8221;<\/em> He did not, however, explain why none of those allegedly documented violations were presented in court despite fifty opportunities to do so.<\/p>\n<p>For regular observers of Trump&#8217;s Circus of Deceit, Miller&#8217;s buzzwords may sound familiar. His <em>&#8220;alternative electors&#8221;<\/em> must come from the same warped imagination as Kellyanne Conway&#8217;s <em>&#8220;alternative facts.&#8221;<\/em> And his distortion of the Constitution&#8217;s provisions for a democratic transfer of power ignore the laws associated with certifying the electoral votes (by December 8), the official casting of votes by the electoral college (on December 14), and Congress formalizing the outcome on January 6. January 20 is the day that the already certified president-elect is inaugurated and sworn in to office.<\/p>\n<p>Miller&#8217;s contention that his alternate slate of electors can be sent to Congress and certified as legitimate is a fantasy that does not exist anywhere in the law. He is merely perpetuating the fraud that Trump has been blathering about for more than a month in his attempt to delude his dimwitted cult disciples &#8211; and probably himself &#8211; into believing that he still has a chance of serving another four years in the White House. He doesn&#8217;t!<\/p>\n<p>More troubling is his flagrant lies that have the potential to incite violent responses to what Trump characterizes as an election that was <em>&#8220;RIGGED,&#8221;<\/em> and a presidency that was <em>&#8220;STOLEN.&#8221; <\/em> In fact, that&#8217;s precisely the response he&#8217;s seeking with inflammatory language that is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=47861\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an explicit call to <em>&#8220;escalate dramatically&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> the opposition to American democratic principles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter recently suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
