The Morlocks Will Be Right - Too Much Johnson

Yeah, going political on here again, it's been a while, but you have to admit, the last few days have certainly been proof that "A week is a long time in politics". (Whilst I started writing this, Nicola Sturgeon got arrested!  I wish the news would slow down a bit more these days.)  So, now I am no longer one constituency over from The Johnson's, and not because I moved further away.  I know he is going to stick around in some way for a while, he is the proverbial Turd That Will Not Flush, but I am going to enjoy this little moment.  Now I am not going to do a full autopsy on his time as an MP and as PM, not enough time and far wiser souls than I have done so.  Instead, what I want to discuss is the thing that really gets me about the whole sorry saga of Partygate; the fact that it was all for nothing.

I always play this song when a truly terrible person has their downfall... well, one of their downfalls.

The Morlocks Will Be Right! - Leaving with Dignity? Yeah, right!

Wow, haven't done one of these in a little while.  This is the heading I use for a little political rant, and in case you didn't notice, quite a major political development happened this weekend.  The day I've been dreaming of for four years, The Furious Orange defeated.  But of course, from before the election, I knew that if Biden did win, Orange Julius would be a sore loser, and not go away without causing a whole heap of trouble.  Now thankfully, despite all of The Cheeto's boasting, and his lawyer displaying his legal prowess at in a car park between a crematorium and a dildo store on Saturday (that will never stop being hilarious!) his chances at actually changing the result are at a very low to negligible probability.  Here's a thread that can explain a lot of these reasons why better than I can.  The short version is that plain and simple, the sheer scale of electoral fraud he'd have to prove across many states, to get five digits' worth of votes disqualified in each one, when so far the only possible case of voter fraud to be seen is... a Republican voter trying to vote twice, it's impossible. (Mind, I am still touching wood after saying that; this is 2020!)  What I'm going to do here is just give my thoughts on why the administration is doing this, why some Republicans are going along with it... and a little prediction for something that might happen before this all ends.
