Outside the Beltway

Wherein I respond to a ridiculous comparison.

Not of governance.

Almost 50 losses in four weeks,. Impressive.

The farce will be with her. Always.

Saruman’s rigid arrogance ultimately made him pathetic. Sound familiar?

That thing that happens when you sow the wind with conspiracy theories.

A shadowy flight into the realm of evidence that does not exist.

Why isn’t Joe Biden President already?

Bringing sloppy to the outrageous.

Why did Emily Murphy finally do her job?

Was Trump’s attempt to overturn the outcome a one-off or a sign of things to come?

We won’t have Sidney Powell to kick around any more.

The virus is real and infections and exposures have consequences.

More on why it isn’t going to happen.

More rhetorical undermining, even as the process moves forward.

Some Republicans are doing their jobs.

A shameful farce continues to unfold.

We spend so much time fighting over who should be in power that we don’t get anything important done.

They know Trump lost the election yet are aiding his outrageous assault on democracy.

Why is making the obvious call so hard for the GSA Administrator?

The GOP is behaving exceedingly irresponsibly. Senator Graham and Representative Collins are prime examples.

Gracious concessions are the norm except when they’re not.

Explaining the continuing cowardice of GOP Senators.

Competing priorities.

The inevitable happened, as extremist organizations descended on DC.

The utter smallness of Trump’s legal challenges to the election.

The numbers behind recounts.

He’s raising the money for himself.

The slow Alaska count came out as expected.

More sowing of doubt about electoral integrity without evidence.

Guess what they found?

Sowing doubt in the absence of evidence is corrosive.

While many are congratulating President-Elect Biden, too many are still following a loser.

“Now this campaign is over, what is the will of the people? What is our mandate?”

The requirements for voting in the Peach State appear loose.

A reminder that narratives are narratives and data are data.

We have a President-Elect.

It’s getting worse, not better.

Hopefully, we can finally declare a President-Elect today.

The early reaction was premature.

The lies aren’t working anymore.

We’ve just had an election, not psychoanalysis.

Why it’s all over but the crying.

He needs one more state to hit the magic 270.

Biden inches closer to 270.

The picture is becoming clearer.

A lot to think about, not a lot of conclusions.

The expectations game will be especially tricky this year.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!
