– I went to the grocery store to quickly grab one item… and Donald Trump fired someone while I was gone. Trump has fired DHS official Chris Krebs, days after Krebs confirmed that the voting machines weren’t secretly rigged against Trump. Krebs expected to get fired for this, this isn’t a surprise, and it doesn’t help Trump one bit. He’s just blowing off steam over the fact that he’s lost.

– No, Trump isn’t going to magically win Michigan because Wayne County didn’t certify its results. Nothing works that way. The state itself will certify the results. This is literally nothing. Any pundit who claims otherwise is either clueless or trying to scare you for attention.
