Just a note on the court case scores, I'm taking the record from this guy Marc E Elias who is - as far as I can tell - main lawyer for the democrats and democracy, effectively, the bulwark against Trump. He seems to be running things and it's his score I'm using. He has a particular system he uses where he doesn't count failed appeals on the same Issue (I think that's right) so it may appear that he's slightly undercounting the wins, which he now reports as 51-1.

that's life in the MAGAswamp: everyone's corrupt, so just pay them off to get what you want.

Mar a Lago will end like Graceland - a big weird heritage spot come shrine. Actually, that’s really condescending to Elvis.

I read this earlier and it seems to be a byproduct of the election- its interesting that these sort of articles now talk as if external powers view Biden as a sort of sea change, that of the kind that would anticipate large scale changes in global approach
You see this talk in global warming discussion as well

China’s Radical New Vision of Globalization
President Xi’s vision of “dual circulation” is a darkly pessimistic economic strategy, fit for a new Cold War.

Granted I'm no expert on either economics or on China, but I just watched a talk about China's new five year plan, and I don't see how dual circulation is "darkly pessimistic" - then again, could just be alluring wording for this article.I read this earlier and it seems to be a byproduct of the election- its interesting that these sort of articles now talk as if external powers view Biden as a sort of sea change, that of the kind that would anticipate large scale changes in global approach

Just seems to involve a split-priority between national and global - not sure how the logistics pan out, but I guess I can see how that can seem suspicious from a purely globalist perspective. But hasn't covid demonstrated the potential wisdom in hedging your bets like this, rather than leaning on the international trade circuitry with your full weight?

I don't believe any media sources in their entirety, but I do find the conceptual shift of external viewpoint to be incredibly drastic given that its only a four year term. Yet you see articles saying China is ready to shift its entire strategic viewpoint off the back off it.
Equally things like this on climate change
US election: Climate experts react to Joe Biden’s victory
After a drawn-out election that saw narrow wins in a handful of battleground states, Joe Biden has emerged victorious over Donald Trump in the US presidential race.

Talks about a sea change for 30 years off the back of one old man beating another.
Perhaps they see something I don't. Who knows

no i didn't - I thought about it briefly but then, like you said, no one was discussing trump's attempt to overthrow the american govt, so the best I could do would be to spam random links
you mean the one called "What Can You Do If Trump Stages a Coup?" 🤔
but not a non-violent coup, a kind of friendly over-throwing of the government - thats totally reasonable?
sorry, there was no hysterical wave of *violent* coup predictions - it was a wave of qualified *non-violent* coup predictions, which is a totally different thing

It is particularly astonishing that 17 of the House signatories to the suit were elected by voters in the states whose election results Texas was seeking to invalidate. They signed a letter directly challenging the legitimacy of their own victories and the integrity of their own states’ elections.
