the electoral college will vote on Monday, Trump will accept the result of that vote.
Yesterday was the end of the line for Trump's effort to get what he wants.
Brexit, for once some facts.

Yesterday was the end of the line for Trump's effort to get what he wants.
But...
The conservative-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed on Friday to hear arguments over the weekend on President Donald Trump's state lawsuit seeking to disqualify more than 221,000 ballots and overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state.
The court's decision to take the case, and to hear arguments on Saturday, came hours after a lower court judge ruled against Trump and said there was nothing illegal about the election or subsequent recount in the state's two largest counties. The fast action comes ahead of Monday's scheduled Electoral College vote.
Reserve Judge Stephen Simanek ruled against every argument Trump made challenging ballots in the state's two largest counties, saying the election was properly administered and that there was no wrongdoing as the president alleged.
“The bottom line here is that the court should do everything to ensure that the will of the voters prevail,” the judge said.
Trump quickly appealed the ruling. Trump's attorneys asked for a ruling no later than Jan. 6 when Congress meets to approve the Electoral College votes. Trump contends that is the “real deadline” for judicial action to overturn Wisconsin's electoral votes.
Trump's attorney said in the request that the campaign is asking his electors to cast their ballots for Trump on Monday and send them to Congress so, if a court intervenes in the meantime, the Trump votes would be counted instead of Biden.
Utterly without merit, of course.
You are mostly comparing Scotland, part of the UK, to countries which can decide on their own legislation regarding drug misuse.
The Misuse of Drugs Act is reserved to the UK Government, thereforet this is a UK problem which is happening in Scotland, a part of the UK.
The Scottish Government, which does have public health as a devolved power, has requested a change in UK legislation to allow it to treat drug misuse as a public health issue. So far nothing is forthcoming.
The simple solution of allowing addicts to administer drugs under controlled conditions would go a long way to reducing drug deaths, however this is currently prevented by UK legislation.
Scotland doesn't have aspirations to be "a beacon of excellence", "world beating", "better than all those other countries" etc.
All that is required is to do the best that can be done in the given circumstances.
The response to Covid is not a competition, there are too many variables, remember the UK government telling us we shouldn't make comparisons with other countries.
Of course poking around in the darker recesses of the internet allows you to see the bigger picture with amazing clarity.
Aye, right.
I assume this happened to you when you lived in Edinburgh and Glasgow, you did live there didn't you?
The only other way you could guarantee such a thing is if you were the perpetrator of such nefarious deeds.
It's all Project Fear. It will just be so easy...

Truth is, there is such uncertainty because no-one has actually made clear what will happen, anyone who can will be trying to avoid the issues of the new year.

No it's too cold to go back under bridges at this time of year
Nothing to get excited about. Basically, SCOTUS told them to restructure their claim, so it'll be back shortly. Also, they don't want to appear to be too much pro-Trump. It makes them look fairer when they find in his favour.
US Supreme Court rejects Trump-backed bid to overturn election
The lawsuit sought to invalidate results in four states where President Trump lost the US election.www.bbc.co.uk
The US Supreme Court has rejected an unprecedented attempt to throw out election results in four battleground states that was backed by President Donald Trump.
The lawsuit, filed this week by the state of Texas, sought to invalidate results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
President-elect Joe Biden won all four.
The lawsuit was supported by 19 state attorneys general and 127 Republican members of Congress.
But the Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Texas did not have legal standing to bring the case, in a brief order rejecting the bid.
All cooks know that most of the work goes into making sure you put something good into oven. Sadly there is always the risk of something going wrong in the oven. What you put so hopefully into the oven can come out ruined.
That risk is particularly high if you have a total incompetent in charge of the oven.
Firstly, I have no political bent, so I'm not right wing if that's what you're implying.
Brexit has no advantage to anyone, neither does remain. It's only an illusion of choice. The future will be the same, regardless.
Yes I did live in Glasgow. 39 Dunearn street to be exact. I also lived at 22 Belhaven Terrace for a couple of years. I never take drugs, not even aspirins,except when prescribed by a Doctor for a specific medical condition. Even then, I often don't take them. I have, however substantially sponsored and worked with drug rehabilitation facilities, so I have some experience of the devestation that hard drugs do to not only those taking the drugs, but those around them too.
Your crassness about this matter shows a lot about your character.
There is illusion and delusion .. Which part of NO STANDing was difficult to grasp.
Well like you I have lived most of my life with minimal medication. However I am since September/October on 6 heavy doses per day.
Yes the devastation and widescale damage of unlicensed drug consumption is appalling.
It's what your link says:What's this then?
