Why Electoral Violence Startsand How It Can End - Foreign Policy

Though experts have pointed out the pervasiveness of violence in U.S.
political history, this particular election—held in the shadow of
the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and marked by multiple assassination
attempts on Republican nominee and former President Donald
Trump—doesn’t feel normal. Americans can no longer take a peaceful
transition of power for granted.

Harris Pitches Positive Closing Message in Michigan

to democracy. But two days before the election, she notably refrained
from mentioning his name at all during a rally on the campus of
Michigan State University, capping her final weekend on the campaign
trail on a more optimistic tone.

Trumps Final Days on the Campaign Trail - The New Yorker
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=88615&nl=daily]
Medical emergencies happen often at Donald Trumps rallies. It is not
uncommon to see supporters collapse in long lines outside arenas or in
the audience after they get inside. Most of the health scares seem to
take place in the hours of waiting before Trump takes the stage, but,
if someone goes down while Trump is mid-speech, he will usually pause
while medics tend to the rallygoer, and the crowd sometimes
spontaneously starts singing the national anthem to fill the silence.
At a town hall in Pennsylvania in mid-October, two people passed out
about a half hour in, and Trump paced onstage while the doctors worked
to revive them. That looks a little bit bad, he said at one point,
peering into the audience. The group fidgeted in hot, stale air, and
Trump told the guys backstage to play Ave Maria. Would anybody else
like to faint? Please raise your hand, he joked, getting ready to
resume the Q. & A. He went on, You know what we could do, though, if
my guys could do it? How about well do a little music. Lets make this
a musical fest. He had spoken for thousands and thousands of minutes
over the past months, campaigning every day; he decided he didnt need
to talk more that evening. Who the hell wants to hear questions,
right? he said. Were going to win. He told his deputy campaign manager
to put on Ave Mariaagainand instructed people to sit down and just
listen to music. I think it would be beautiful.

DONALD TRUMP has dominated the American right for nine years and yet,
even after a decade of study, many observers still cannot fathom why.
But voters are certainly not tired of Mr Trump. Even after the scandal

electorate, or some 75m Americans, will vote for him this time.

Paddington in Peru review: 'Everything you want is there but it

Maybe Paddington 2 has spoiled us. In contrast, Paddington in Peru
offers a fun and lively hour-and-three-quarters in the cinema, and
that's not to be sniffed at, but it comes across as the solid third
part of an established franchise rather than a stellar pop-cultural
phenomenon in its own right. And the announcement that a further
sequel and a television series have been greenlit isn't all that
exciting. However sweet and delicious they might have been, some film

Thankfully, the Electoral Count Reform Act, passed by a bipartisan

indulgence of Mr. Trump’s false charges that the last election was
stolen or the next one will be provide ample reason not to want a
