Also, Trump's campaign has NOT ended. It never ends this side of death...
And re: treason – no. The Americans acting to destroy American democracy are not doing so at the direction of or in partnership with foreign enemies – maybe they common cause but these are bog-standard American fascisti. They are acting for the most American reasons, and in support of a subset of fellow Americans. This rot is from the inside, not outside.
Finally, about 'news': Wherever one finds corporations controlling mass media, there one finds the 'news' commodified, ie quantified, qualified and pre-vetted specifically to maximize corporate profit and return for shareholders. Such nations have adopted corporate media as the state media by specific and durable edict. Of course it is propaganda; more importantly it is masked to deflect public accounting of itself. And the election fraudulence BS sells papers.
John... not FB-abetting news is news, but the chanters of “electoral fraud” and “illegal votes” today had full range on the platform with no warnings issued, culminating with Barr’s authorization of investigations of allegations of cheating. This is HARD DYING and we seem inept/unable/unwilling to stop it.
And so it begins: "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) threw his support behind President Trump’s legal challenges in the wake of his loss to President-elect Joe Biden, saying Monday that Trump is “100 percent within his right” to pursue recounts and litigation. Trump has produced no evidence of widespread voting fraud."
How quickly they forget 41...

*not that FB-abetting news ... (kinda need that “not”)
Well said. Americans must not allow Mitch McConnell to obstruct the wishes of the people as manifested by the election of Joe Biden. If Republicans hold the Senate, Demoncrats must play hardball.
