Today (Jan. 6) I saw a picture of a busload of Vermonters on their way to Washington, D.C. They were Donald Trump supporters who remain convinced that his election was stolen. I want to believe that all of them on that bus were heading down for a peaceful protest. But after witnessing several different news reports, and listening to the speeches of President Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Rudy Giuliani urging them to go to the Capital, I have to wonder whether anyone in that group got duped into joining the assault of that beautiful and historic building.
Supporters of President Trump bang on the glass and chant slogans outside the room where absentee ballots for the 2020 general election were counted at TCF Center on November 4, in Detroit, Mich.
The day Michigan s electors gathered in the state Capitol, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer paused briefly on the checkered marble floor before entering the state Senate chamber. Obviously [we] never could ve imagined. she paused to laugh, emphasizing her next word, anything. about this year. But it s an honor to play a role here in finalizing this vote, respecting the will of the people and making sure Michigan s voice is heard.
That day, electors were escorted in by the state police. The building itself was closed to the public and other lawmakers because of credible threats of violence after more than six months of political turmoil in the state.

President Trump is into all kinds of things to game Biden’s inauguration, writes Tiko Okoye
The fact of the matter is that Trump has not only been spending too much time with, but also providing a listening ear to, conspiracy theorists pushing him, like the biblical King Rehoboam, to abuse the power of his office.
While appearing on a Fox News live programme on December 17, White House adviser Peter Navarro urged President Donald Trump to appoint a special prosecutor to smoke out details of how Democrats stole his election victory before inauguration day, in order to stop Biden from taking the oath of office as “an illegal and illegitimate president.” Note that Trump has asked Attorney-General William Barr to resign from his post by December 23 for contradicting his stance on the credibility of the November 3 elections.
