He has already done massive damage to the electoral system. It wasn’t broken but he has half the country thinking it is. That kind of damage is hard to quantify. Many states are passing unnecessary and sometimes harmful legislation because of it and no telling what’s coming down the pike.

Nope, calling ■■■■■■■■ . You guys have been attacking the EC for years. That’s your wheelhouse all day.

I have never once attacked the electoral college. Never.

@JayJay

Evidence. He had none

debatable. period.

remember. “always question”

@JayJay

he wanted Pence to throw out electoral votes…which Mike Pence had no authority to do.

if he had reason to suspect anything, he has the authority to do whatever he wants. details can be sorted out later. but this sham isn’t about Pence

@JayJay

He wanted to send fake electors to DC. That is not “questioning irregularities”.

no he didnt.

[FloridaYankee]

@thinkingman

@JayJay

No his claims were without foundation.

what “foundation?”. who decides what the “foundation” is? Well how incredibly convenient

@JayJay

It’s the claims that are the problem.

really? well my goodness. i thought his incitement to coup was the problem. Again, mixed messages…

@JayJay

his attempts to get Mike Pence to do what Mike Pence didn’t have the power to do…aren’t about “questioning the election “

He wanted everyone including Pence to consider the irregularities.

“always question” they used to say. just a mere few posts ago

@FloridaYankee

We should always question it.

see?!

And when there is ACTUAL EVIDENCE, take appropriate measures. There is no evidence the election was stolen or anything even approaching a remote possibility.

Stick with it!

Nonsense. Both can continue long careers as Democrats, Even today, they are the featured darlings of the scam political theatre we are seeing on CSPAN.

No they can’t. Their positions on almost every major position are contrary to D positions. I would never vote for either one of them.

[JayJay]

The poster is playing a game, obviously.

Trump was just “questioning irregularities”, you see.

I am not impressed with Biden, but at least he is not tearing down the institutions that made this country.

cause trump does that huh?

It’s worse than that but he didn’t do. Distrust in elections crosses party lines (although it us stronger on the right) and it preceded Trump’s swan song on Jan 6 by at least ten years.

Democratic and Republican voters share a mistrust in the electoral process

@Samm

Both can continue long careers as Democrats

What policy positions does Cheney align with liberals on ?

She hates Trump. These days, that’s enough.

[Samm]

@Orygun

What do you think Trump was doing? What was his goal?

His goal was a delay of certification and conduct an honest forensic audit. He believed (and probably still believes) that a truly independent audit would show that he won. You can’t possibly believe that he thought a bunch of unarmed hooligans would take over the Capitol and usher him back into power, do you?

@GWH

Anything but Biden is the word on the street.

Since he changed his name to Brandon, even he is on board.

They hate Trump … Who cares what they stand for, that’s sufficient to be popular as a Democrat these days.

That’s projection.

Todays right wing votes for candidates because they want to “own the Libz “.

@DougBH

For a legitimate committee, maybe. Not for a partisan dog and pony show posing as a committee.

Remember when the House passed in a bipartisan fashion the formation of an independent investigation based off of ones like the 9/11 commission and McConnell killed it?

And then after that died the House set up a commission and McCarthy sent as nominees to that committee some from the howler monkey contingent of the party… people who actively say that the 2020 election was stolen and when Pelosi said no to the Howler monkeys instead of replacing them with different picks he pulled all of his nominees?

Yeah… me too.

@Samm

“Attempted coup” There you go again.

What do you think Trump was doing? What was his goal?

…

Part one: Trump repeatedly and aggressively lied to the public falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him.

Part two: Corruption of Justice Dept. --Trump sought to replace the Acting Attorney General with a loyalist so as to weaponize DOJ to use the force of the law to support his election lies.

Part three: Trump corruptly and repeatedly pressured Vice President Mike Pence to violate the U.S. Constitution and the law by refusing to count certified electoral votes on January 6

Part four: Trump improperly pressured state election officials and legislators to change their states’ election results and undermine the will of the voters in their states by flipping the state from Biden to Trump.

Part five: Trump’s team, including his lawyers, told GOPers across the country to manufacture fake slates of electors and send those fake elector slates to the U.S. Congress and the National Archives.

Part six: Trump summoned and assembled a mob of supporters to D.C. and directly told them to march to the US Capitol.

Part seven: Despite the violence against police and in the Capitol, Trump ignored myriad pleas for help and folks begging him to take immediate action to stop the violence and tell the MAGA mob to leave the Capitol.

I am getting the feeling that some feel that Trump doing all of this was no big deal.

More lies from the left is no big deal. They’ve lied ever since Trump first said he was going to run for POTUS. They were scared to death that he was going to win. Now they are scared to death that he will win again.

If they are trying to get people to believe that Trump wanted and planned an insurrection, they are crazier than hell.

[WuWei]

People “attempt” things all the time.

You feel the system is that brittle?

[WuWei]

@JayJay

No his claims were without foundation.

As were hers.

[Samm]

@Orygun

@Supreme_War_Pig

But this doesn’t obsfucate the other, real violence that the insurrectionists engaged in that day.

And it for sure symbolizes the absolute intent of that day. Stop the VP from certifying the electors and allowing for the transfer of power to Biden.

Stop the Steal!!

No … It does not. It no more symbolized intent than burning an effigy does. It’s a hyperbolic expression of emotion. Nothing more.

Get a grip. You are spinning out of control in a world made up by your own imagination.
