GOP senator to delay affirming Biden victory

(CNN) — Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley said Wednesday he will object when Congress counts the Electoral College votes next week, which will force lawmakers in both the House and Senate to vote on whether to accept the results of President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

Hawley is the first senator to announce plans to object to the results, which is significant because both a House member and senator are required to mount an objection when Congress counts the Electoral College votes on January 6.

The objection will not change the outcome of the election, only delaying the inevitable affirmation of Biden's victory in November over President Donald Trump. Democrats will reject any objections in the House, and multiple Republican senators have argued against an objection that will provide a platform for Trump's baseless conspiracy theories claiming the election was stolen from him.

Hawley's objection, which other senators may still join, will also put many of his Senate Republican colleagues in a difficult political position, forcing them to vote on whether to side with Trump or with the popular will of the voters.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has privately urged Senate Republicans not to join the group of House members who are planning to object. Senate Majority Whip John Thune argued against it publicly, prompting a rebuke from Trump on Twitter and the threat of a primary challenge.

Dow & Year-End - Into the Breach
THURSDAY, 31 DECEMBER 2020
BY: MARTY ARMSTRONG



The Dow will close Neutral, and the topping formation does not indicate that we are dealing with an ALL-TIME high. Closing below the 31,000 level deprives it of immediate momentum to blast out to the upside.



We can see that Socrates had projected the highest overnight volatility in 2020 and a big projection for internal volatility in 2022. The Empirical Models show choppiness with 2021 being an important target whereas the Aggregate projects 2022 as a key target coming up on virtually every model right down to politics.

It really does not matter if you believe the election was stolen from Trump or not. As I have said before, my father was a corner under Patton in North Africa all the way to Berlin. The German general Rommel wrote a book on tactical warfare. Patten read the book and understood what he would do and thus defeated him. It never matters what we may think or believe, it is what your opponent believes that matters.

In this case, we have the NY Times and others misrepresenting that the courts just threw out Trump's claims pretending there was no validity instead of telling the truth that no court has ruled on the claims, they avoid them with the procedure. That means there will be rising discontent perhaps confirming our civil unrest forecasts. But the economy will clearly still contract into 2022 and this will also help to escalate the likelihood of international war. Indeed, Iran is already threatening war and sees Trump as leaving office.

All of this warns that we could blow out to the upside to test the 40,000 level by 2022. That would paint a darker picture post-2022. However, a pullback now into 2022 which holds the 19281 level would then project out to a major high in 2032 at about 65,000.

What we must respect is that capital is looking not at a booming economy, but a place to park funds. Regardless of what takes place in the United States, Europe will continue in its goal to redesign its economy which will be a disaster. In the United States, the majority of Republicans will not support Trump and the hope that Pence will refuse to count the disputed states seems to be wishful thinking. The Deep State has been trying to remove Trump desperately.

What it is starting to look like is we will see the Republican Party also split for they are delusional to think that they can boot Trump out and get everything back to normal. The nation is deeply divided so we should expect a 3rd Party to emerge perhaps for 2020 which will be disenfranchised Republicans and Democrats.

Therefore, the Dow will be a critical factor in how this shapes up,
