Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. And the number of republicans in Congress who are going to try to challenge, circumvent, ignore, overturn, or whatever the Electoral College is increasing. Plus, vice president Waffle is now saying he will support the effort. https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-55517626 Josh Hawley's sole argument seems to be that the 74M people who voted for I-1 are being silenced. 1) That's not how it works in the U.S. We choose a president by the Electoral College, not the popular vote (see: 2016). 2) Even if we did, Biden got 80M votes, 6M more than I-1. 3) Hillary Clinton got 3M more votes than I-1. I-1 said something about "democrats would never stand for republicans stealing an election like this". Ummmm... again... 2016. Hypocrisy just doesn't register with these guys, does it? At least not when they are the ones doing it.

And if Congress doesn't certify, approve, bless, or whatever they do to the Electoral College and the results of the election are still in question on January 20, the clear result will be... President Nancy Pelosi.

Attempted election fraud. Threatening a State elected official and overseer of elections. His lawyer was also on the phone, so conspiracy. What else we got?

Interesting comments down the thread. Especially those calling for him to be impeached immediately.

Does This Avatar Make My Butt Look Big? Minor Deity ![]() |
OK, you folks have got to listen that tape! I listened to the whole thing while cleaning the kitchen just now. A couple of things struck me: 1. The call has the GA Sec of State plus his general counsel, and the Trump side has Trump, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and a man and woman who must be lawyers. The game is the Trump team wants to talk the GA team into granting access to GA election data, but the GA team says state law doesn't allow it. Stalemate. So if you're Donald Trump, you think the best way to get what you want is by insulting members of the GA team? Calling them incompetent, suggesting they are criminals? 2. I do not know how anyone tolerates working for Trump. I could never work for a client like that. Trump's lawyers would be pursuing a line of questioning, and Trump would interrupt and derail the whole thing. He especially liked to interrupt the woman. Figures. 3. Near the end, Meadows proved himself to be a snake. The Trump team proposed that the teams meet to discuss the Trump team's election fraud allegations. GA general counsel says OK, we will meet with you. Then Mark Meadows says, "OK, so you're agreeing to meet with us and make available to us the election data." The GA general counsel said: "That's not what I said." He then went on to explain that he cannot make data available if it is protected by state law -- duh. The takeaway for me is this: I am stunned that on Jan. 3, Trump is still trying to change the result of the vote in Georgia. The result has been certified, and flipping GA wouldn't change the outcome anyway. I started following Trump on Twitter after the election -- it's fun to watch him die a little bit every day, and it never gets old -- but I thought by now he would have started plotting his next chapter. Nope. We are so very lucky to be rid of Trump in 17 days. | |||

In a just world, the Democrats and the few remaining ethical Republicans would join together and welcome the new AG's arrest of DJT on Jan. 21st. He likely committed multiple felonies in that phone call. | |||

Can anyone answer this? Because I haven’t heard any commentators address it in the media. Is the only thing protecting us from a Republican coup the fact that the House is (barely) majority Democratic?
