Forensic psychiatrist explains why Trump is now more dangerous than Hitler
“The fact that he had the audacity to declare victory in a situation of not even having the electoral college forebodes the level of distortion and potential violence we are to see (he is like an emotional seismograph, constantly calibrating to what he can get away with),” tweeted Lee, a forensic psychiatrist.
As I predicted, the 2020 presidential election was much closer than the Biden landslide anticipated by corporate media. Not only did former vice president Joe Biden underperform due to an enthusiasm gap the MSM pretend it did not exist, he does not appear to have had any meaningful down-ballot coattails.
What happens next? Exactly what I predicted would happen.
As of this writing two key battleground states in the upper Midwest — Wisconsin and Michigan — plus Pennsylvania are still counting mail-in ballots.
With 95% of the vote in, Biden leads in Wisconsin by a razor-thin 49.6% to 48.9%.
With 94% of the vote in, Biden leads in Michigan by another thin margin, 49.4% to 49.1%.
Pennsylvania only has 64% of the vote in. Trump leads 54.8% of 44.7%.
I believe the uncounted mail ballots from the Detroit and Philadelphia metro areas will push Michigan and Pennsylvania into the Biden column—Michigan with a comfortable margin, Pennsylvania just barely. Under normal circumstances, any two of these three states would tip Biden over 270 electoral votes and hand him the White House.
These are not normal times.
As Greg Palast has written, mail-in ballots are subject to a 22% rejection rate on technicalities. In a close rate where 50% of ballots were cast by mail, that will make an enormous difference. Republican attorneys are now going to swarm metro Detroit, Philadelphia, and courthouses in Harrisburg and Lansing to get as many of those votes as possible thrown out. In addition to getting votes thrown out, they are going to drag their feet in order to try to avoid allowing the states, as well as others, from certifying their electoral votes by the December 14 deadline.
GOP lawyers won’t get any help from the three states’ Democratic governors in terms of foot-dragging. That goes triple for Michigan, where Governor Gretchen Whitmer must still be sore under the collar for that plot to kidnap her, which was tacitly approved of by President Donald Trump.
American courthouses are giant mechanisms of delay. Motions for continuances, requests for additional hearings, recount of recounts you name it, the Republicans are going to throw everything they can add to this challenge.
You saw last night that Donald Trump semi-declared victory. This is just the beginning of a long month or two in a major crisis of electoral democracy. The odds of the 12th Amendment scenario remain high. In that scenario, the House of Representatives will select the president. Since there wasn’t a blue wave, the incoming House of Representatives will have more than 26 Republican delegations, which means Donald Trump would win.
I went to bed around 2am PST sure Trump would win Penn. Wi. Mi. Ga. ,Biden Nev. Waking at 8am I think Trump gets only Ga. and Biden wins in another close one. The big losers in my mind is the Media & Pollsters.

Of all the results, an almost 50-50 split is the worst. My sympathies, America.
