Not Proving Negatives

 AT VARIOUS STAGES we learn life's eternal verities, irrefutable facts about spitting into the wind, keeping the latrine far from the mess tent, things of that nature.If we a little science, math, or logic, we learn the law which says that you can never prove a negative. You can prove that UFOs exist, assuming they do, but you can never prove that they do not exist. There might always be one out there, unseen. You can prove that somebody is a serial killer, but you can prove prove that anybody is not; Any given person, even the pope or Christ, all might have a close full of unseen skeletons. You can prove that an election was rigged, but you can never prove that it was not. There is always a remote, one in a trillion chance that there was some deep secret rigging. Donald Trump isn't smart enough to understand this, but apparently at least one and probably only one Trump supporter or associate is. After pledging to leave office when the electoral college declares Biden the winner, which in effect it already has, none too soon to be former president D.J. trump amended and hedges his offer by pledging to leave if Joe Biden, or presumably anybody else can prove that the election was not rigged. Perfect ploy; force Biden to do the impossible as a precondition for assuming the office the American people elected him to. Pretty clever for a conservative. we can assume that millions of Republicans, in and out of Congress, and million of evangelical christian devoted to Trump will heartily approve of this stipulation, so sufficiently insane it is. Biden should make a counter offer, but probably won't, due to his decency and desire to at least try to unite the country.To wit: If one minute after Biden completes taking the oath of office on January 20, 2012, Donald J. Trump has not removed his orange haired as from white House grounds and taken his motley family with him, a force of Secret Service and federal officers adequate in number to accomplish the task will summarily remove them, and have them arrested for trespassing. Oh, what a lovely mental image;  what a pathetically beautiful thought; Donald Trump, his feet kicking and toupee flying free, being carried into an awaiting patrol care by a pair of husky guys in suits and ties. As they load him into the back seat, nobody bothers to place a hand atop his bald head to protect him from a bump, because, if you'll remember, it was Trump himself who declared his belief that policemen in America should never offer criminals that courtesy.
