Joe Biden won the electoral college vote. It was certified on Monday. Will those in the Trump bubble believe it?
That’s the question. Now that Putin is hacking U.S. government agencies and congratulating Biden, perhaps Trump loyalists should move on.
But as I suggest in my column at aaldef.org/blog, Trump is the guy who takes it beyond the limit. He won’t stop here if there’s a Jan showdown left
in Congress. Who will continue to play dumb for Trump? AG Barr won’t. But who wants a pardon?
That’s why it doesn’t feel as good as it could right now. Biden won again. He has a sympathetic cough. He calls for unity.
But Trump still has 30 days or more left. He still has the keys. An intervention from his pals? Michael Flynn is out there whipping up the
Proud Boy frenzy. We still have some ugliness to endure.
That’s why we still need a Pro-Democracy movement in America.
I’ll be posting another Emil Amok popup today or tomorrow.
In the meantime, take a gander at this museum popup on Filipino American history.
As Donald Trump likes to point out, Emil Amok’s Takeout is up to Episode 5!
That’s 5 fingers of goodness so far.

Not since my perm days as a local TV guy in San Francisco, right?
But Vincent Rodriguez III, born in San Francisco and raised in the Filipino enclave of Daly City, California, wouldn’t have his chance on network TV without Rachel Bloom.
Bloom is seen her taking stage as her name is called for the Critics Choice Award for best actress in a comedy series, CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.”
But I’d name her best executive producer for insertion of a Filipino American story line in a network series.

Then go to my Q and A with Vincent (edited transcript) on NBCNews.com:

And you get to see the great performance of Amy Hill, who plays the Filipino mom. One of the original cast members from Margaret Cho’s “All American Girl,” Hill has endured the scene with her comic genius intact.
To watch “Crazy Ex-Girl Friend” for free (at least until Monday): You can start from the beginning, but my favorite is the Thanksgiving show.

If you’re still snowbound, there’s one good reason to move from east to west—to Daly City, California, West Covina North.
