Enough already! Delusional, depraved, but DEFEATED. We may have to wait until Jan 20th but 45 will be GONE. McConnell is next...

Does anyone know what time the Scrotus/MI lawmaker's meeting is supposed to be today?

[TheNorthWestPawsage]

Michigan electoral votes can’t be stolen. Trump has summoned Shirkey and Chatfield to the WH on a fool’s errand.

Just FYI, after 48 hours of high-level conversations with Michigan Rs & Ds, it's clear the results will stand. Joe Biden will receive the state's 16 electoral votes. There is no alternative under MI statute. This Trump/Michigan GOP meeting is a sideshow on par w/ Rudy's presser.

Gov. Whitmer can remove any member who fails to follow the MI election code (which requires certifying the aggregate election results certified by the individual counties) and can replace said member without legislative approval if they fail to do that.

Why Michigan’s Top Legislators Should Cancel that Meeting with Trump.
The president can offer them whatever he wants to throw the election. If they take the deal, they’ll be wide open to prosecution back home—and Trump can’t protect them.

From the article:

“If President Trump comes out and says: ‘Guys, I have irrefutable proof of fraud, the courts won’t listen, and I’m now calling on Americans to take up arms,’ we would go,” said Fryar, wearing a button-down shirt, pressed slacks and a paisley tie during a recent interview at his office.

See, I think this has more to do with idiots who have a 'Rambo Complex' than it does with 'honest but misguided' patriotism. They want to believe him because they want the excuse to go all 'Die Hard' on someone. They see themselves as some sort of hero who just needs the chance to prove how heroic they are. But when push comes to shove they won't be marching in the ranks.

I know that an anecdote isn't evidence, but we have some (former) friends who are just like this. They say it's a true patriotic fervor but they've wanted to 'take up arms' for a myriad of stupid reasons for the last decade, from 9/11 (When 'they' come up my driveway I'll be ready!), to Sandy Hook prompting calls for firearms reform (When 'they come up my driveway I'll be ready!"), to the recent food shortages (When 'they' come up my driveway I'll be ready!) to now Scrotus (When 'they' come up my driveway I'll be ready!). Yes, I agree that there are some real nut jobs and neo-Nazis out there who really would take up arms for Scrotus, but I think the rank and file of them would find reasons to slink away from any real 'action'.

Just catching up from the last thread. Wanted to agree with thatslifeandthenyoudie (I think I remembered that correctly, if not, apologies) about enjoying the Terry Pratchett names/quotes.

I think Terry wrote about trump in Making Money. trump is Cosmo Lavish to a t (always a small one for trump).

Well done Georgia!

Thales for that reuter article. It's very scary stuff. "If I’m being manipulated by Trump ... then he is the greatest con man that ever lived in America,”

Yep- you got that right.

[Igotjelly]

This is going to make one hell of a documentary one day! Bet Netflix already have their eyes on the prize.

Very glad to see about Georgia

[Cheguevarahamster]

Thanks not Thales!

Awful stuff from Sundown.

“You are going to tell me 77 million Americans voted for him? There is just no way,” said Fontaine, 50.

And speaking of Supremes not engaging in singalongatrump, I see Gorsuch has ruled against Republicans in Minnesota, if my reading is correct.

Imagine the mischief that could be done if you started suggesting that Capita or ATOS were also involved ?

I wonder what a fairy story about Farages visit to POTUS being an undercover mission to secretly nobble the result might cause ?

"You are going to tell me 77 million Americans voted for him (Biden)? There is just no way,” said Fontaine, 50.

TBH I'm equally amazed that over 70 million voted for Trump

I get a lot of people voted for him.

But how many have bought into this cult, how many are looking at the results and are thinking that this is wrong, that Trump should concede?

[Lonelycrab]

It’s better for him to let things fester for the next couple of months.

[lionheart]

I know BruceAndNosh. It is mind boggling.

Georgia apparently not yet certified.

The Q tit heads are now saying that Biden has lost the election because Facebook has changed his title to 'politician'

[BruceAndNosh]

And continuing the Plague Ship that sails around the White House....
Andrew Guiliani has tested positive for coronavirus and has mild symptoms. He was part of the shitshow legal press briefing? Yesterday day before?
Because of this, none of this legal team are joinng the Meet the Michigans elbow twisting

@SugarbabyMilly

Can Facebook please change Trump's title to Former President?

[OVienna]

Georgia is getting certified shortly (again). Nyt is reporting it is, in fact.

[OVienna]

It's done it's done
Georgia is done!
