The Electoral College formally affirmed Joe Biden’s victory Monday, but President Trump fights on, much like the Black Knight in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” who won’t give up, even when his arms and legs have been chopped off.
“ ’Tis but a scratch,” he says after King Arthur severs his right arm.
“It’s just a flesh wound,” he insists as he loses the other arm.
“I’m invincible!” he yells after losing his left leg, to which Arthur replies: “You’re a loony.”
The psychology of the nation, six weeks since the election, is encapsulated in that 1975 movie scene.
On Trump’s side, in his fruitless efforts to overturn the election result, are most of the 74.2 million Americans who voted for him, along with 126 House Republicans who signed on to the Texas lawsuit rejected by the US Supreme Court last week.
Most of the rest of the country thinks they’re all loonies.
This damaging divide won’t be resolved by Biden moving into the White House, no matter how much he talks about “unity.”
When 62 percent of Republicans are convinced it is “very likely the Democrats stole the election,” according to a Rasmussen poll, and 28 percent of independents and 17 percent of Democrats agree, “Houston, we have a problem.”
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, put it best in Wednesday’s “Examining Irregularities in the 2020 Election” hearing:
“This is not a sustainable state of affairs in our democratic republic.”
It is clear to reasonable people that something was fishy about this unusual election, conducted during a pandemic.
Where people differ is whether the fishiness was enough to change the election result and, even if it was, whether it is possible to prove.

The rational choice is to move on and not jeopardize the two all-important Georgia Senate runoff races on Jan. 5, which will determine whether Biden can enact radical change.
But where everyone ought to agree is that a thorough investigation is needed to ensure public faith in the integrity of future elections.
Navarro has collated allegations in battleground states — ranging from outright voter fraud and ballot mishandling to statistical anomalies — contained in 50 lawsuits and judicial rulings, thousands of affidavits and declarations, and testimony from state hearings.
He concludes that “patterns of election irregularities . . . are so consistent across the six battleground states that they suggest a coordinated strategy to, if not steal the election, strategically game the election process in such a way as to . . . unfairly tilt the playing field in favor of the Biden-Harris ticket.”
Some of the material in the report is questionable, particularly about voting machines.
Far-fetched tales by lawyer Sidney Powell about a plot by Hugo Chavez, George Soros, Hillary Clinton and sundry Communists to rig voting machines manufactured by the Dominion Voting Systems company have poisoned that well.
But plenty in the report is credible.
Yes — the thieves broke in and stole half of my possessions and money; but it’s theirs now. We need to investigate and find out how to keep my place safe in the future.
Again, the loot belongs to the looters now, no need to try to go and recover it.
Who’s loony?
BTW I hated the reference to Monty Python’s black knight. The writer is insinuating that 75 million or so people are quixotic? Condescend much?
Go post your crap on DU.
Today, or next Thursday?
Glad they’re cover it.
RE: Go post your crap on DU.
Why is this article crap? It’s from the New York Post, the paper that first broke the Hunter Biden laptop scandal that the social media sites refused to give airtime to.
In other words, let them get away with it?
What a patsy.
Never mind, I see it is today.
Them are the shadow government, globalists all...President Trump did indeed step on the toes of America's enemies...protecting America means protecting the U.S. Constitution.

A cloud of fraud will cover the Biden/Harris presidency until the issues are resolved and corrected.
Murdoch never Trump propaganda. Trying to change the subject from Rove’s horrible Georgia campaigns debacle in the making.
Seek and Find is loony
They already have ZERO credibility with most of America. And they have nowhere to go but down.
“This is not a sustainable state of affairs in our democratic republic.”
I flat can’t stand this tripe. We have lost our democratic republic, it was stolen. AND, our Constitution has been deliberately destroyed.
I will continue to believe that President Trump will pull out of this mess. If he can’t, then I see millions of “Loonies taking care of the Walking Dead.
Surender is not an option.
“A cloud of fraud will cover the Biden/Harris presidency ...”
Wow!, “A cloud of fraud ...”
I guess we can all relax now.
“The psychology of the nation, six weeks since the election, is encapsulated in that 1975 movie scene.”
Nope. That sound you hear is the whole of 75 million Patriots raising their rifles above their heads and shouting, “WOLVERINES!” ;)
See my Post #19. :)
