And the point is what? What does Stalin have to do with it? For better or worse we still are a nation of laws and not of men. Tho it would seem you may prefer the latter. There isn't going to be any judge that is going to do anything about (whatever you think it is) without objective evidence which up to this point is lacking. You would think by now if there was anything, that bombshell should have already dropped. So far nothing and judges are slowing getting fed up with frivolous lawsuits without merit or evidence and starting to consider leveling sanctions against the plaintiffs for wasting the time of the court. Law firms representing Trump's claims are withdrawing from these cases as it seems they are starting to realize that their reputations are now in jeopardy. Time to grow up and put your big boy pants on.

All the state's Secretary of States, who run the elections, both Democrats and Republicans, were happy with the way election turned out. The head of the DHS said it was the most secure election ever, AG Bill Barr sent out the word to the US Attorneys to begin prosecutions of election irregularities, 16 wrote back their weren't any, the rest are silent. Nothing earthshaking was presented in any court case brought by Trump's attorneys, all were dismissed. So what have you got, besides hurt feelings?

And hurt feelings are not going to sway any judge to order any sort of an "audit".

I was just pointing out that the omission you made in that quote, it changes the tenor of the remark quite a bit, from a new ageish "feel good" to reminder that the Muslim world, once upon a time, were leaders in the scientific research of the time. The Italian Renaissance wouldn't have been possible without the knowledge that the Arab world discovered. NASA was extending an olive branch to them hoping that to bring them into the fold of other countries that NASA partners with spaceflight. This isn't unusual for them, NASA has done it with other every other spacefaring nation for decades. I suppose some people get all "boogie-woogie" when Muslims are concerned but I'm not.

You forgot the end in brackets, which by the way is quite true. The Muslin world during our Middle Ages in Europe was quite different than the Muslim world of today. Then they were the leaders of science, math, and engineering.

"I became the NASA Administrator - he charged me with three things: One was that he wanted me to re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, that he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with predominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good [about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering]."
