WASHINGTON— A report by the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Democratic majority details Donald Trump’s extraordinary effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election that he lost, with the Justice Department brought to the brink of chaos and top officials there and at the White House threatening to resign.The report describes how the Republican incumbent tried to undo the vote and exert his will on the department, asking leaders to declare the election “corrupt.” His actions led to a near-revolt at department headquarters that receded only after senior officials warned of a mass resignation.At one White House meeting, Trump considered replacing the acting attorney general, Jeffrey Rosen, with the acting assistant attorney general,

If he “lost”, AP, why were Democrats fighting every audit and review tooth and nail? Hmm?

Pretty sure President Trump didn't lose. Someone please explain that after the Republicans counters were sent home for the night, 2 large suitcases were brought out from under the table. And that was on video. What else happened that night?

Seven states sent TWO slates of Electors, it would not be/isn't out of the "Ordinary" to have SOMEONE figure out WHICH should be accepted, approved, counted...before an election is certified. PS: there is NO "Democrat Majority" in the Senate. They hold 48 of 100 seats, then there is a socialist and an Independent...neither of whom operate as independents... and have the VP as a tie breaker. Repubs have 50 seats.

Nice try, AP. Here is what we know: the systems safeguards to avert ballot box stuffing were mitigated in the name of COVID, the systems are largely overseen by Democrats, the Democrats won in a statistically bizarre way, the Democrats are calling people the worst names they can think of if they try to look back and do oversight - even just using the tools that are built in there for the purpose, and AP among others is doing all they can to help the Democratic name calling. This much we know. This we know. Doesn't look good 4 u, AP.

FTA: "Even so, the false claims over the election have fractured the nation, with millions of Americans wrongly believing the contest was stolen." There would have to be a real investigation in order to persuade millions of Americans the 2020 election was conducted properly. Absent a real investigation, the notion Americans "wrongly" believe the election was stolen is simply an opinion, and a biased on at that, coming from the Democrat run Senate Judiciary Committee.

President Joe Biden has decided not to assert executive privilege to hold back a trove of documents that the Jan. 6th select committee is seeking as part of its probe – concluding it is not in the country's 'best interests' after the Capitol riot.The move, telegraphed in advance by the White House, drew an immediate and angry response from former President Donald Trump, who suggested he might sue and attacked Democrats as 'drunk on power.''The Democrats are drunk on power, but this dangerous assault on our Constitution and important legal precedent will not work.

The overriding factor about Donald Trump, from a political standpoint, is the unpredictability that he brings — especially when the odds are stacked against him. While Democrats would like to think that, with two sham impeachments and their furtherance of an “insurrection” narrative that frays at the seams more and more as we learn the details of what actually took place on Jan. 6, they have stymied any remaining political ambitions that Trump may still harbor, the party nonetheless frets over a potential 2024 run.That’s according to a piece from The Hill, which states that Democrats are worried about another White House bid by the former president, who’s

President Joe Biden on Friday tried to put a positive spin on the worst jobs report of his presidency, urging Americans to look at the bigger picture and pushing his infrastructure bill and his trillion-dollar package of social programs.'If you take a look at the trend itself, on average 600,000 new jobs created every month since I took office,' Biden said. 'In total, job creation in the first eight months of my administration is nearly 5 million jobs.' 'Now that's progress,' he added. Just 194,000 jobs were added to the payroll in September, falling far short of the 500,000 that were expected,

Divorce usually isn’t a good idea, and that’s especially true of a nearly 250-year-old continental nation. The notion of a national breakup has long simmered as a fringe argument, but it is increasingly popular in certain precincts of the political right and has gained at least some traction with partisans of both sides. A recent survey by the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia found that about 50 percent of Donald Trump voters and 40 percent of Joe Biden voters agreed to some extent with the proposition that the country should split up, with either red or blue states seceding.
