   Some Repug officials in Michigan took some baby steps towards an attempted election steal, but it only took a few phone calls for them to surrender. So I s'pose there might be a silver lining to Jabba the Drumpf dissolving the spines of almost all Repugs so they spend their lives quivering in a corner like hypothermic chihuahuas in fear of a mean tweet.

      The next two months are going to be really fun watching the Republicans change and shrink as Trump burns down to a residue like sulphur in oxygen.

      The closest analogy I can think of to Republicans post-Trump is if Trump were molten aluminium and the Republicans were an ants nest:

         Testify, brother!

         Admittedly, when it comes to changing minds, this might be a bit stronger than just a mean tweet …

   Interesting coverage of overseas news by Gordon Campbell Nov.17 – looking at whether we should endorse a NZ White Houser who has Trump'f blessing to go for the UN or something. Collins thinks it's a no-brainer. She has an interesting take on brains.

   We recently signed up to the RCEP I think that's the acronym for the Asian area trade agreement. Gordon has some views on how that stacks up against that other one that was set to screw us into an even smaller hole than we have used to date.
