And the Milwaukee mayor got a nice cushy assignment as U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg. Payment in full for his assistance and cooperation?

My first question would be: what happens if Wisconsin decertifies the election? Is that symbolic or does something actually happen that would end Brandon's Presidency?

Nothing will change the 2020 outcome. The benefit of these revelations will be to reform election laws to prevent it happening again. Joe will forever be 46th president, but will forever have an asterisk.

We need a Constitutional Amendment to deal with this. The Supreme Court ignored the

cases challenging the election.

Some brilliant legal minds must design an Amendment that takes the Court out of the equation in some way.

Problem with amendments is they require almost unanimous agreement. If we had that consensus, we wouldn't need new law. Laws are needed to control the lawless, which constitutes about half the population these days. We have enough laws, just need to track down and punish the lawless. We might start doing that in November. Some states have already started. Our job is to keep them focused.

I don't disagree, but if you look back in history, the Founders did not put the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. They did it later, many felt they weren't necessary because to them it seemed obvious that those natural rights would never be breached. But they did create those first 10 Amendments for posterity. Thank God they did. Do you think we would have any right to worship remaining if that First Amendment wasn't there?? They would have permanently shut down the churches during covid! They almost did it anyway! Thanks to Trump's appointees, it was thwarted. So...my point is, yes, elections are our best solutions, if we keep them honest, but there need to be structural fixes in our system that prevent the high Court from ignoring the Constitution they are sworn to uphold. In 2020 they ignored the written word of the document. There has to be a fix for that or we are doomed!!

The Constitution was a series of compromises from the beginning. Still is. But rules don't make people behave. Accountability does. The fix is maintaing enough people willing and able to defend their rights. That's the only thing that inhibits tyrants.

These damned voting machines have been the subject of controversy since they were first deployed. When I cast my paper ballot on voting day, I say a little prayer as it is gobbled up by the voting machine that it is reading my vote correctly.

With the AZ audit we learned that some voters ballots were changed from Trump to Biden! What does that say about vote integrity?

Not only Wisconsin, but Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia should all be decertified and that poseur currently installed in Our White House should be frog-walked to the National Mall and placed in stocks for the American People to ridicule.

Keep digging and writing about this. We all know Trump won that election!! There is some irony in using demented voters to vote in a demented President

Excellent reportage Emerald. Thank you. And also read your essay on how the US Government - Third Party vendor elections "game" is played. Makes sense. Our 81 million vote-from the basement-pretend POTUS and the state of the world -- raging in chaos -- in just one short year -- is the outcome. To what end? Who benefits? All dots connect back to the political power elite. And in Wisconsin -- the home state of that self-serving RINO Paul Ryan -- the Truth is now in the CLEAR. Trump WON!

I have always been a skeptical, individual thought processor (my wife sometimes says whacky and crazy, not so much anymore, one positive), but thanks to Emerald it has gotten much worse! Levity people, relax. Love you Emerald. Love you like a sunrise! Has ANY election been real? At this point, I don't know. I am quite certain, that nothing in the last 3 years has been real, as in, what is actually happening. What kind of narcissistic, socio/psychopathic people would do that? I am half looney, and I cant get my head fully around the measure of this madness. Are we still living in the WW1 monarch age? Sure looks like that is a possibility. Are we still fighting the Nazi's? Could be a possibility. WE are going to have to do something very out of character to break this cycle, as if we are just going back to "normal", there has never been a "normal", so what have we been witnessing? Then my sweet sweet JESUS whispers in my ear, "don't fret, you saw exactly who these people are when they crucified me, tortured and murdered my apostles, and early followers, you KNOW what is happening. Nothing, NOTHING has changed. Stay strong, keep your eyes on me, pray, have faith, you are here for a reason." When I was a young rocker, I would make fun of "JESUS is my copilot" and "You have a friend in JESUS" people, really thought they were whacky(oh the irony of JESUS humor). Now all I can do when reading the Bible, or thinking of JESUS is cry and laugh. The cycle is complete, I have become the "JESUS is my copilot" people, but I still can not put bumper stickers on my F350. Some habits die hard. I will fight these arse holes to the end, as soon as I figure out who is really writing the scripts they read. Until then, get your money out of the corporate banks, stop using electronic payments, prepare for dis comfort, support family farms, support the truckers, support you community, buy as much land as possible (otherwise they will), saving your money for the future is a fools errand, if we can get to the point of not paying taxes, that would be the leverage we need to actually be WE the people. That is some scary stuff though, this corrupt govt has proven time and time again that tax fraud is the WORST crime to them. Remember they are all psychopaths', none of them are to be trusted.

I agree - if every American could find a way to stop paying their Federal taxes (change your withholding at work?), that would be a start. I'm self-employed, so it would be easy for me to do - but we need a large number of Americans to pledge to do it at the same time to shut down this phony, banana republic gub'ment, Manchurian candidate and the media monkeys...

And some people naively think America is not a third world corruptocracy. Ukraine has more integrity.

Excellent article E. Every day raises my disgust level higher. But also raises the helplessness level higher. It just seems like nothing will happen! Same old same old.

Every state needs its own “The Virginia Project”. At 9:02 pm the night of the Va Governors race they tweeted:

“You’re welcome.”
