Anyone surprised? He’s a lying cheating POS. Always has been, always will be.	0Trait Anger
Is this not a crime? He's actively trying to conspire with another government leader to rig an election in his favor. Is there really nothing that can be done about this other than wag a finger and act outraged? Once Biden is in office, this needs to be investigated. If it's as bad as it sounds, people need to go to jail. Forget moving on as a country. This behavior needs to be punished.	1State Anger
Ok. Enough. Go to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200.00.	2Anger Expression
Im so sick of trump i cant even bring myself to listen to the audio.	0Trait Anger
Real silent about this over on r/conservative	2Anger Expression
What does it even matter?? The guy could cut a democrats head off on live TV and his base would roar with approval. If this call isn't a smoking gun, then what is? Kinda ironic that they can't provide any evidence to support their fraud claims then a call like this surfaces proving they're practically begging (or is it threatening?) Anyone in their way to come up with the evidence they've failed to find.	1State Anger
If this lunatic is not charged with Conspiracy against The Republic after leaving White House then simply there is no hope for this fucked up system.	1State Anger
Wow, a whole seven Republicans. So generous.	1State Anger
Seven? SEVEN!?! McCarthy should be strung up by his balls if he doesn’t get his fucking seditious Confederate colleagues in line and support the validity of the election. Miserable rat fucks.	1State Anger
How brave and courageous of them, to simply do what they should already be doing	2Anger Expression
Congratulations for doing your fucking job 👏	1State Anger
Is this an Onion headline?	1State Anger
Pls don't pat them on the back for this	2Anger Expression
A whole 4 percent of the House GOP Caucus aren't traitors. And yet, imagine remaining in an organization that was 96% traitors and thinking "we just agree on fiscal policy".	0Trait Anger
It’s a start, how about you start calling your fellow party members out for their unAmerican actions.	2Anger Expression
Welcome in 4th Reich. Fucking fascists are trying to steal our Country from us.	1State Anger
They should be expelled from congress for breaking their oaths.	1State Anger
I accidentally switched to fox this morning and no joke - they were talking about McCarthy somehow getting elected as speaker if Nancy didn’t get the votes. I just had to share that with someone. They’re taking crazy pills.	1State Anger
>In a sign of just how delicate the vote count is, and with a recognition of the surging pandemic, House officials constructed a special plexiglass box in the chamber Sunday so that members who tested negative for the coronavirus but were quarantining after exposure — two Democrats and one Republican in this case — could still cast their vote. They should keep the punishment box for every procedural violation now.	1State Anger
Internal polling must be bad for the GOP in GA. Trump mentions them basically losing in his treason call.	1State Anger
>That is why some Whitfield residents are worried about President Donald Trump’s plans to headline a rally for Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue here Monday, the eve of the U.S. Senate runoffs. Organizers are anticipating as many as 20,000 people for the event, in the heart of Georgia’s conservative base. Can you imagine having lost a loved one to covid and then a local political party is throwing a 20,000 person party as if nobody else matters.	1State Anger
Literally suicide voting. Electing bastards, then dying of preventable disease.	0Trait Anger
Hey GOP, Democracy over fascism really is not a hard decision. Constitution over one guy is an easy choice.	1State Anger
Good. Break up the GOP.	1State Anger
Nice to see Republican on Republican strife	1State Anger
It is an attempted coup, every Congress Person involved with this seditious act should be removed from office and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.	1State Anger
>But Trump and the GOP have already accused the Democrats of staging a coup.. so Trump is just fighting back! both sides are doing it! This is how preemptive projection works, and exactly why Fascists use it as a tactic, as it provides a “both sides” shroud of immunity that allows them to hastily advance forward into authoritarianism, unchallenged. Trump and the GOP constitute the greatest threat to American Democracy since the Civil War.	0Trait Anger
This call and the fact that it won't go punished is really a confirmation to me that the US has unraveled. Biden might slow the process of disintegration for a while if he's lucky, but I don't think any society survives this level of corruption.	0Trait Anger
Entirely. So much of the downfall of democracy has to do with media not taking a stand and reporting FACTUALLY. Call the lies and sedition what it is. Otherwise you are misleading people and making this all possible.	0Trait Anger
Yea that recording removed all question, asking an official to "find" an arbitrary number of votes? Of course it's a coup attempt, and a highly criminal one. --- https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/595 18 U.S. Code § 595 - Interference by administrative employees of Federal, State, or Territorial Governments	1State Anger
Wouldn't it be nice if people today were actually held accountable for their words and actions? What a radical concept.	0Trait Anger
This is why the GOP has been ceaselessly working the ref (the media) over the last few decades. The GOP wants to ensure the media is too worried about accusations of bias to honestly describe what they, the GOP, are doing. If the media grew a pair and started calling this attempted coup what it is, using honest, frank, direct language, you might see public sentiment start to change. As it is, the GOP has enjoyed a total free roll on nonsense like this. If it works, great, they installed a king! If it doesn't work, who cares? No one is calling them out on it. So either they win or stay the same. There's literally no down side when they aren't being called out. That's why dictators always vilify the media.	0Trait Anger
just hearing the first part of the phone call (full) shows how crazy Trump is anyone who supports that insanity is as bad as he is the poor guys the people on that phone who had to sit there and to be respectfulas best they can ..because this clown was president. if it was me i would have lost my shit within 3 minutes lol	1State Anger
All Members of Congress involved in not confirming Joe Biden needs to be removed from Office. They no longer are for the constitution, the people, or Democracy. Treasonous Traitors to America, Party of Facist. F*ck Trump and his zealot followers.	1State Anger
Finally, I do however like the name “The Clown Coup”. It has such a nice ring to it. You can separate it from all the others.	1State Anger
These guys still haven't figured out what the word "lie" means, I wouldn't hold your breath on "coup."	0Trait Anger

hey Bernie i got a good fillabuster for you hold up a tape of the phone call recording and play it lol	1State Anger

Republican voting requirements: 1. White 2. Male 3. Land owner	1State Anger
The only fraud was committed by Donald Trump and a handful of his idiot supporters. GOP just love supressing rights and democracy. Any excuse will do.	0Trait Anger
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you create a bunch of hoops people didn't need to jump through before but do now if they want to keep participating in society, it's your responsibility, not theirs, to make them able to participate. Mandatory ID? Fine. Send a valid one to every voter, free, with automatic renewals. Or make them able to get one at more places. Any municipal building with a modicum of security will do. Make them available outside of working hours, too. Oh, you don't want to do that? No, then fuck you, come back when you care more about the real voters you're disenfranchising than the imaginary fraudsters you're keeping at bay. It goes on like that. It's not enough to make participation secure, they must make participation a burden. Because in the end, if the wrong people don't vote, it's no skin off these assholes' noses.	0Trait Anger
In his phone call to Georgia’s Secretary of State, Trump made it clear his charge of voter fraud was based only on “hearsay”, ie, totally made up garbage.	1State Anger
FINALLY SOMEONE FUCKING GETS IT! Have Senate Redistrict Win House in 2022 Have control of the most governorships, state legislatures, states, house, senate and majority on all the courts. Use it to pass a whole bunch of voter ID and detailed registration laws as well as close a whole bunch of polling places to disenfranchise voters, especially black ones, all in the name of “preventing another steal”.	1State Anger
There’s a conspiracy theory that there really were rigged voting machines out there but they favored the GOP and the criticism of Dominion is merely projection. Raw story published an article about it. https://www.rawstory.com/voting-machine/	0Trait Anger

A split so bad that someone in the GOP recorded and leaked the president using extortion on a state elected official to the fucking Washington Post.	1State Anger
"It was the starkest illustration yet of the civil war that could engulf the Republican Party in the post-Trump era, as factions prepare to battle over whether the party will continue down the unorthodox, scorched-earth path forged by President Trump or return to a more traditional brand of conservative politics." So... Mitch McConnell represents the traditional brand of conservative politics? We can only marvel at how fast they have gone from bad to worse.	0Trait Anger

Trump was the swamp 4 years ago. Thanks for catching up. I actually had a guy tell me with a straight face that trump is the face of anti global elitism. Really? The guy who shits on a gold toilet and all of his products made in China? Him?	1State Anger
This is actually a cogent examination of precisely why it's clearly a political gambit and also--just by the by--also covers just exactly why folks like Cruz ought to be ashamed of themselves, even though they are not. I did like this bit paragraph though: > Trump and his loyalists are “disputing” those five states only in the sense of not being able to come to terms with having lost them. That does not make them disputed in a legally cognizable sense.	2Anger Expression
The entire HOUR long phone call is on line. Washington Post has the link, it is a huge long diatribe by the most desperate mafia don and such a deliberate power grab I have ever heard. It was insane, pressure on Georgia, it’s beyond anything you could begin to imagine. Now will any Republican’s rise up and say this was unconstitutional, criminal in nature, .. words are beyond me. Hour long. Seriously ....you have NEVER heard ANYTHING like it.	1State Anger
Lotta “strategic silence” this afternoon	2Anger Expression
It always seems like a Democrat can be impeached for basically anything they do. No matter what trump does the republicans stand behind him. If the republicans don’t do something to reign themselves in it just proves how morally bankrupt they’ve become. They’re basically a criminal organization at this point.	0Trait Anger
He literally opens his comments with nearly 2,000 words of steam-of-consciousness rambling that touches on all of the big MAGA voting conspiracy theories. Huge voting dumps, secret votes in a briefcase, Trump votes put in a shredder, Dominion voting machines, etc. Truly deranged shit.	2Anger Expression

On one hand, he is trying to have his cake and eat it too by reinforcing the message that the election has questions while still not participating in Brooks' effort. On the other, he is exposing the hypocrisy of Brooks and company as they will vote yes on this, but then vote to block the electoral college count. So kudos to him for that.	2Anger Expression
Oh, but there are no contested election results. The courts have already settled that.	2Anger Expression
Sounds to me like Chip Roy is calling his own election into question. Gauntlet's been thrown down. Pelosi needs to refuse to seat any member of Congress who backs Trump on this.	1State Anger
I, on the other hand, object to seating members of Congress who are contesting the election results.	2Anger Expression
Definitely don’t know enough about Roy’s position on the election to know whether to greet his statement with cynicism or not, but at least the verbiage reads as if he is calling out the logical fallacies of trying to argue that ONLY the Presidential votes were fraudulent. I suppose the real question is, what is the partisan makeup of the states in question? Would not seating these elects flip the majority to the GOP?	0Trait Anger

"It was the starkest illustration yet of the civil war that could engulf the Republican Party in the post-Trump era, as factions prepare to battle over whether the party will continue down the unorthodox, scorched-earth path forged by President Trump or return to a more traditional brand of conservative politics." So... Mitch McConnell represents the traditional brand of conservative politics? We can only marvel at how fast they have gone from bad to worse.

Id rather they take on basic education, since they and their inbred supporters lack it.

Trump was the swamp 4 years ago. Thanks for catching up. I actually had a guy tell me with a straight face that trump is the face of anti global elitism. Really? The guy who shits on a gold toilet and all of his products made in China? Him?

This is actually a cogent examination of precisely why it's clearly a political gambit and also--just by the by--also covers just exactly why folks like Cruz ought to be ashamed of themselves, even though they are not. I did like this bit paragraph though: > Trump and his loyalists are “disputing” those five states only in the sense of not being able to come to terms with having lost them. That does not make them disputed in a legally cognizable sense.

The entire HOUR long phone call is on line. Washington Post has the link, it is a huge long diatribe by the most desperate mafia don and such a deliberate power grab I have ever heard. It was insane, pressure on Georgia, it’s beyond anything you could begin to imagine. Now will any Republican’s rise up and say this was unconstitutional, criminal in nature, .. words are beyond me. Hour long. Seriously ....you have NEVER heard ANYTHING like it.

Lotta “strategic silence” this afternoon

It always seems like a Democrat can be impeached for basically anything they do. No matter what trump does the republicans stand behind him. If the republicans don’t do something to reign themselves in it just proves how morally bankrupt they’ve become. They’re basically a criminal organization at this point.

He literally opens his comments with nearly 2,000 words of steam-of-consciousness rambling that touches on all of the big MAGA voting conspiracy theories. Huge voting dumps, secret votes in a briefcase, Trump votes put in a shredder, Dominion voting machines, etc. Truly deranged shit.

That's one way to alienate the very people who support you.

Why even bother? I believe he should have to submit proof of anything he says. Even if it's that he ate eggs for breakfast. A cook has to corroborate. Just assume everything he says is a lie and fact check the corroborating evidence.

A general strike would turn the country around. The rich had a collective heart attack when the stock market plunged in March. Just see how fast we get what we want if at least half of us protested working until we got some actual workers' rights.

I have a few friends today who are talking like this is the incident finally that breaks the gop. But that’s not how cults work. The supreme leader is absolute authority in their eyes. They will excuse and ignore this like they ignored the 3x scandals per week for the past 4+ years.

On one hand, he is trying to have his cake and eat it too by reinforcing the message that the election has questions while still not participating in Brooks' effort. On the other, he is exposing the hypocrisy of Brooks and company as they will vote yes on this, but then vote to block the electoral college count. So kudos to him for that.

2Anger Expression

Oh, but there are no contested election results. The courts have already settled that.

2Anger Expression

Sounds to me like Chip Roy is calling his own election into question. Gauntlet's been thrown down. Pelosi needs to refuse to seat any member of Congress who backs Trump on this.

1State Anger

I, on the other hand, object to seating members of Congress who are *contesting* the election results.

2Anger Expression

Definitely don’t know enough about Roy’s position on the election to know whether to greet his statement with cynicism or not, but at least the verbiage reads as if he is calling out the logical fallacies of trying to argue that ONLY the Presidential votes were fraudulent. I suppose the real question is, what is the partisan makeup of the states in question? Would not seating these elects flip the majority to the GOP?
