While the physical damage to the U.S. Capitol building that occurred on Jan. 6 can be calculated in dollars, the damage done to our democracy is incalculable. The FBI has now charged more than 180 individuals involved in the insurrection. There seems to be a paucity of Antifa participants vs Trump supporters: or is that I can’t get the image of the “QAnon Shaman” out of my mind?

More than 60 of Trump’s election lawsuits lacked merit. Trump wasn't an official plaintiff in all of them; some were his allies or supporters echoing Trump’s claims. The lawsuits failed for various reasons. Some had errors in the filings, others lacked standing. Mainly, the allegations lacked proof (i.e., evidence). To see the source, search on “In more than 60 cases, judges looked at the allegations that Trump was making and determined they were without any merit.”

I’ve been an observer of the Democratic Party for many years. As a result, I can assure you that it does not have the capability to commit massive voter fraud without being detected. Unlike the GOP, which has a rich history of coordinated vote-related manipulation, the Democratic Party remains largely uncoordinated: an aspect that appeals to many citizens.

While no hard evidence has been discovered to support widespread voter fraud claims in the 2020 election, plenty of people have signed their name to sworn testimony. Many of the affiants in Trump lawsuits submitted affidavits alleging they heard someone say there was fraud, but didn’t have a first-hand account. That’s considered hearsay, and in most cases, hearsay is not admissible in court.

Michigan Circuit Judge Timothy M. Kenny described specific affidavits that Giuliani referenced Thursday as “generalized,” “rife with speculation and guess-work” and having “no evidentiary basis.” And so it has gone.

Only one day in office and President Biden has been falsely accused of using an executive order to order schools to open the girls’ bathrooms and sports to other-gendered individuals. Actually, it orders government agencies to ensure that they do not discriminate against other-gendered individuals. To see the actual text, search for “Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.”

Another popular misrepresentation is that Biden called himself a dictator. Rather, after he rejected the idea of using an executive order to raise taxes on corporations and wealthy people, he said there are "things you can't do by executive order unless you're a dictator." (CNN Politics)
