The American Coup: 11.9.2020 -

I agree Johnny. I’m waiting for Trump to Tweet to his followers to ‘Take Back the White House’. Gonna be interesting.

Trump currently has MORE THAN TRIPLE the number of EC votes. There’s no way Biden can overcome such a lead unless there is MASSIVE FRAUD! The odds would be a quadrillion to one. LOL.

Which is the entire point of this asinine exercise.

Yup, the GOPs goal is just to try to make someone look worse than they are. It’s a tall order, but they are working on it.

Meanwhile, Michigan is closing legislative buildings due to credible threats of violence.

I’m afraid this genie, once out, is going to be hard to just put back in the bottle.

The “credible threats” came from one of their own legislators.

The president’s lawyers are now openly calling for armed revolution to keep Trump in power. But, yeah, both political parties are equal.

In addition to gathering 2nd amendment supplies, if you are in Georgia be sure to hunker down in your bunker until at least January 6th. Do not come out for any reason, the reason will be apparent on the 6th.

Watching the Michigan electoral vote and I have to say, it is the most boring thing I have done in a long time. But perhaps the boring formalities is what we need now, instead of the yowling of the President-to-be-ex-shortly.

I LONG for the days when the Presidency and WH news was boring. Or at least when I didn’t feel compelled to keep an eye on the news all day long. Hell, you can go off to the grocery store or take a nap and tune back in to find that Donnie has pulled some new bullshit. It wasn’t safe to look away from the Dumpster Fire.

Republican electors in Pennsylvania and Georgie cast their votes for Trump today. They’re going to drag this out as long as they can.

None of the governors in the so-called contested states agreed to submit another slate, right?

Does mean I can just get 38 people to send Biden electoral votes and claim Texas went for Biden? I’m sure there are many Texans who would prefer Biden and apparently we don’t need our GOP governor to be able to submit an alternate slate that has to be formally considered and argued in Congress, so… :roll_eyes:

Sounds like this is about as realistic as what Republicans are suggesting. Don’t forget to send it to Pence with a gold fringe around the paper.

Interesting that they seem to be saying Biden isn’t the president yet – as if all they’re upset about is that, by acting presidential and executing a transition, Biden is somehow usurping Trump’s powers.

And I bet they’ll all just shut up on Jan. 20.

I bet you’re wrong.

Their goal is not to keep tRump as president. Their goal is to hamstring Biden so much that he can’t get anything done.
Then blame him for not getting anything done.

If this damages the country, and/or ends up killing another hundred thousand Americans… so what. They don’t care.

Sorry, should have added the /s. Of course I don’t think they’ll shut up.

But it is curious that the tweet talks about “one president at a time.” Like they’re actually almost facing reality.

Oh, they know reality. They know Biden will be sworn in as President on Jan 20.

They are simply doing whatever it takes to make it as difficult as possible for him.
They are the full-on obstructionist party now. They are the party of destruction. They are the party of damaging the government functioning as much as possible. They are the party who wants to tear down democracy and replace it with authoritarian dictatorship, so that they can rape the public purse.

Barr suffers the ultimate sacrifice: being forced to resign

I wonder what the point of firing Barr is at this point. I see a few potential options, none of them good.

  1. Trump plans to act as his own AG.

  2. Trump plans to name someone even more personally loyal to him than Barr was. Maybe Rudy Giuliani?

Either way, with the goal of naming multiple special counsels to investigate the 2020 election, Hunter Biden, William Barr, and the current special counsel John Durham.

Uhh… it would be shocking, absolutely earth-shatteringly amazing, if this DIDN’T happen. I’d bet five thousand dollars on this happening and I’ll give anyone odds.

The conspiracy theories floating around in Trumpist circles are really amazing right now.
