106 House Republicans have signed onto Trump's judical coup attempt.
Every last one of them is a slimy gutless weasel who is fearful of Trump. They are craven cowards who are unwilling to live up to their oath of office. They join the ranks of the states' attorney-generals who should be summarily disbarred.
Their name should be engraved on a Monument to Cowardice. Every one of them should be shunned by those who have served this nation, and by everyone who regards themselves as being a patriot.
Every one of them should be given a free one-way ticket to a nation that is more in tune with their belief that the votes of the people mean nothing: Turkey and Russia should be prime destinations.
Every one of them should disavow their American citizenship, for they are all traitors to the Constitution.

Their monument: The Tomb of the Known Traitors...to take the shape of a gibbet.
Four from Louisiana. This Louisianan approves.
So you approve of ballot tampering then, as long as you side wins?
Who is the Traitor here?
They all should be removed from office, and charged with sedition. They all took oaths to protect and defend the Constitution, which includes respect of fair elections.
There is no proof of ballot tampering anywhere approaching the scale required. If proof existed, it would have been submitted. All your side has is UFO-grade crackpot conspiracy theories.
If you buy that bullshit, then you’re either nuts or a traitor. If the former, please seek professional help. If the latter, feel free to emigrate.
The ONLY proof we have of attempted voter manipulation are TWO instances, both done by Republican/conservative entities. The first one was done by Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl who set up robocalls to minorities in predominantly black cities to deter them from voting by mail. The calls claimed that their information would be accessible to the police pursuing warrants, credit card companies collecting debts and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aiming to track people for mandatory vaccines.
The second was the filing of “ghost” candidates in Florida’s elections. Two “Democratic” candidates registered to vote and filed to run for seats in the Florida house. Neither attended any debates. Both paid the same printing company the same amount of money for campaign material to be mailed to voters. Both fliers were identical, other than the candidate’s names. As the mailings were sent to different districts, it didn’t matter. Two new political action committees were registered on the same date, at the same minute, and one day later received a combined $550,000 in donations from the same company. The printing company and one of the PACs are linked to this man: Alex Alvarado, a Tallahassee-based Republican consultant and former Republican congressional intern.
So where is YOUR ‘proof’ of this assertion of ballot tampering? Other than Rudy’s allegations of fraud (which Republican lawyers are careful not to claim in court) there is no evidence of tampering, manipulation, fraud, or malfeasance. You’re starting with a wishful idea and are trying to find something, anything, that will support your position. But you can’t because there is nothing there.
You can continue to perpetuate the lie, match proudly behind your wanna-be dictator, listen to his every rant, and echo every statement meant to steer the country to ruin; or you can use some cognitive reasoning and realize you’ve been duped for 4 years. You’re angry at the wrong people. You should be angry at your side that treated you like a mushroom: fed you shit and kept you in the dark.

At this point, only an complete idiot or a willful liar can claim that there's evidence of fraud or tampering or anything, so which are you, B?
Trump's ace legal team has been at work for over a month, what actual evidence of fraud, or ballot tampering has been presented? There have been endless claims of widespread fraud, but no actual evidence of it presented in court. There have been fake videos and bogus claims (e.g. the ghost of Hugo Chavez! ballots found under a desk!), but nothing that actually stands up in court.
Did you read the linked filing? Even that doesn't say there was any actual wrong-doing, it basically says "many people are concerned that there was wrong-doing, therefore SCOTUS should step in and do something."
So c'mon B, it's been over a month and "your team" has presented exactly bugger-all evidence, so why do you think there's been ballot-tampering? What extra information do you have that Trump's lawyers don't?
Apparently Republicans can't handle the truth. That may stem from their steady intake of propaganda, or not, but the result is plain, either way.

A final characteristic of the paranoid style is related to the quality of its pedantry. One of the impressive things about paranoid literature is the contrast between its fantasied conclusions and the almost touching concern with factuality it invariably shows. It produces heroic strivings for evidence to prove that the unbelievable is the only thing that can be believed. Of course, there are highbrow, lowbrow, and middlebrow paranoids, as there are likely to be in any political tendency. But respectable paranoid literature not only starts from certain moral commitments that can indeed be justified but also carefully and all but obsessively accumulates “evidence.” The difference between this “evidence” and that commonly employed by others is that it seems less a means of entering into normal political controversy than a means of warding off the profane intrusion of the secular political world. The paranoid seems to have little expectation of actually convincing a hostile world, but he can accumulate evidence in order to protect his cherished convictions from it.

What are they after? What do they want? They already broke our country. Do they believe that god has appointed that monster to open a new world for them?
I don't understand. For any christians that might be reading this- what do you want?
I have prayed with you. I live with you. What do you want? I will feed you, i will help you, i will defend you, i will live with you.
What have we done wrong? Why do you want to kill us?
"What are they after?"
I think the Trump supporters who are in any position of power are cynical monsters who want to keep that power at any cost. They don't care about democracy, the rule of law, or any document like the Constitution, they support anything and they'll say or do anything that will keep them in control. I have no idea what the moronic Trump supporters in the general public (like B) are after, why they blindly parrot all the lies - it seems to be a combination of stupidity and self-righteousness.
Here is the sick and horrifying thing:
Most of these seditious Republicans are from "safe" gerrymandered districts that will vote Republican even when the incumbents are exposed as fraudulent, child-eating monsters literally taking money from Russia. The only times these cowards are threatened with loss of office is when an even further-Right primary challenger shows up (remember Cantor losing his safe seat to a wingnut in his primary?).
One of them in particular I know because I grew up in that area: Gus Bilirakis (FL) represents pretty much a North Pinellas County/West Pasco region of hard conservative Greek-Americans as well as White Evangelicals (Tarpon Springs, North Tampa, and Trinity trifecta). He inherited his seat from his dad Mike Bilirakis, and it was all due to the gerrymandering efforts of state Republicans back in 1982 (funny story, the new Congressional district thanks to the FL population boom was crafted so that the local state rep at the time, Curt Kiser, could win a guaranteed US House seat. It was an open secret, my parents were joking about it. Instead he got primaried by the more conservative Greek candidate Bilirakis and it's been that family's seat for the last 40(!) years).
So if we expect any of these 106 seditious bastards to answer for their crime of undermining the Constitution, it won't happen. Their own voting base is likely cheering them on, and anything Pelosi or the Dems in the House can do - take away committee seats, stuff like that - will only embolden them to subvert their oaths of office even more.
Operation "Just Let Them Speak" is working perfectly.
Just Let Them Speak
It will be interesting (in a horrifying way) to see how much control T**** maintains over the should be committed for observation "believers" after he leaves office.
There's no law that they won't break, no line they won't cross, no T**** mandate they won't support, no incitement they won't promote, and no "alternate fact" they won't swallow whole.
Some of my cousins are living proof of the T**** Way; The Power of the Cult is strong.
We must be stronger!
I'm with TB,
Let them hang themselves with their tongues. The beauty of asshats
like those is they self identify.
We don't have to be watching the radar looking all the time. ;)
Eck!
Can the 106 (now 126) be disbarred for signing their names to this cow pie?
Can they be censured by Congress?
For the newly-elected, can they NOT be sworn in due to sedition?
