On this program we talked about the recently concluded elections. We expressed our good feelings about Donnie "Bonespur" Trump having lost. We hope that the country can start healing from the devastation of the last four years. We talked about Trump continuing to be the Disease Vector In Chief, with so many people in the White house having contracted Covid*19. We noted that Trump finished up his campaign with 14 densely attended rallies in seven states in just the last three days before the election, and that now the Washington Post is reporting that more than 130 U.S. Secret Service agents whose job it is to protect the President have been forced into quarantine because they either tested positive for COVID-19 or were in close contact with coworkers who did.

We talked about why military voters from Michigan might have voted for Biden instead of Trump.

We talked about Trump's antics since losing the election and noted that the actually dangerous thing that Trump may be trying is to affect the Electoral College vote by infiltrating what are called “faithless electors” into the Electoral College despite a recent Supreme Court ruling.
