What's Going to Happen Jan. 6th????

 This coming Wednesday, January 6, 2021, the US Congress will meet to certify the electoral votes of each state. 

Here is what to expect to happen. 

- On Jan. 6th, there will be a joint meeting of the US Congress, both the US House and US Senate-

- If there is one written objection by both a member of the House and Senate then....The joint session will be suspend.

- The House and Senate will then have 2 hours of debate over the subject.

- Both the House and Senate must vote to object for the electoral votes to be thrown out. ( That is not going to happen because the House will be held by the Democrats in 2021. And I doubt enough Republican Senators vote to overturn the electoral votes. Already Senate Republicans Thune, Sasse, Collins, Romney are objecting to the vote. ) The vote is a simple majority.

The entire thing is political theater.  

As Republican Ben Sasse, Senator from Nebraska says,. " We have a a bunch of ambitious politicians who think this is a way to tap into Mr. Trump's political base without doing any long term damage." 

I know some of you think that somehow there was "cheating" in the election. And if there was, why didn't Republican judges agree to hear the cases? Simply, you got to show actual evidence. Not that idea that, " I think they cheated because the President said they did"......It's the old Joseph Goebbels ( Nazi German Minister of Propaganda) ideology...“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

Psychologically many of you think so because " Everyone I know voted for Trump." 

You don't live where everyone lives. 

Most of you do not live in an urban area, or a suburban area, you live in a rural area, and the cities have more people than the rural areas and psychologically you think land mass should count more than people.  

As I have said, there will be another election in 2024. The democracy will survive even though you've been told otherwise..I survived LBJ, Nixon, and Carter. 

The world, the US is changing. I know you don't think it should, but it is. 

Calm down. This too shall pass.
