Just 7? Interesting. Can we get a name of the one that do support and next election cycle just run ads about how they supported The Trump Coup.	2Anger Expression
So is now the time everyone finally realizes that Trump and his enablers are traitors to the United States and deserve to go to prison? Trump belongs in prison and Trumpism should be treated like the cancerous ideology that it is and be purged from mainstream consciousness the same way Germany purged themselves of Nazism. If we don't do something about this really fucking soon, then all it takes is for Republicans to gain control both houses of Congress and install whoever they want as POTUS and basically end democracy in America. It could happen as soon as 2024. Hell, if they regain the House and keep the Senate in 2022 then what's stopping them from impeaching Biden and Harris on some bullshit charges? What could stop them from removing them both and installing their own Speaker of the House as POTUS until 2024? We're in some seriously dangerous territory here and I truly fear that after all this, if nothing changes, then the very next time the GOP gains control of Congress it's over for America. Edit: I've been reminded that it takes 2/3 vote in the senate to remove from office and the GOP won't be able to get that many seats so my 2022 scenario couldn't happen. Don't worry though, we're still on for 2024.	1State Anger

In 2016, 63 million voted for the candidate who said he would only honor the result of the election if he won. In 2020, 74 million voted for him again when he said the same thing. The reason that the Fascists have power is primarily because almost half of voters want to end democracy and just have White minority rule. The co-conspirators amongst the GOP elected officials are acting in response to the desires of that huge voting base.	0Trait Anger

“Efforts to involve the US armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory,” they wrote. Yes, I think Trump already knows that. Do we think he’s just gonna say, “oh, you’re right! My bad. Didn’t realize, I’ll stop”? Not really the strong messaging I thought.	1State Anger
Too late losers, You all climbed aboard the Trump ship when you didn't remove him from office after impeachment. You don't get to jump ship now. He's going down and taking your party with him!	1State Anger
I got curious and took a peek into the Conservative group and they are unbelievable. Their posts about this is that tRump's actions are appropriate and that he never asked to fabricate votes. Even though that's literally what he asked be done. The delusion is never going to be shaken off.	1State Anger
I don't see any of these stories including my favorite section of the call: >"They're shredding thousands and thousands of ballots. And now they're saying they're just cleaning the office. I don't think that plays." "Mr. President, the problem you have with social media is people can say anything." "No no no, this isn't social media. It's Trump media, it's really not. It's not social media. Social media is Big Tech. Big Tech is on your side. I don't even know why you have a side." That exchange seems revealing in so many ways.	1State Anger

The Senate was broken from the minute it was conceived. It barely passed by a single vote during the Constitutional Convention, and only after weeks of contentious debate. "Every idea of proportion and every rule of fair representation conspire to condemn a principle, which gives to Rhode Island an equal weight in the scale of power with Massachusetts, or Connecticut, or New York; and to Deleware an equal voice in the national deliberations with Pennsylvania, or Virginia, or North Carolina. Its operation contradicts the fundamental maxim of republican government, which requires that the sense of the majority should prevail. Sophistry may reply, that sovereigns are equal, and that a majority of the votes of the States will be a majority of confederated America. But this kind of logical legerdemain will never counteract the plain suggestions of justice and common-sense. It may happen that this majority of States is a small minority of the people of America; and two thirds of the people of America could not long be persuaded, upon the credit of artificial distinctions and syllogistic subtleties, to submit their interests to the management and disposal of one third. The larger States would after a while revolt from the idea of receiving the law from the smaller." - Alexander Hamilton https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/fed22.asp	0Trait Anger
TLDR: Trump is full of shit	1State Anger
Hell yeah. As if our corporate neo-imperialism wasn't bad enough, this is something we are doing at home. If you are outraged that blackwater goons murder children in the middle east indiscriminately then be outraged that we purposefully separated children from their parents and put them in horrendous conditions, again on purpose. You know what these people are coming here to escape? The conditions the US helped to create in their own countries.	0Trait Anger

Good. I hope it tears the GOP to shreds to the tune of dozens of lost seats in 2022. The Democrats need to hold this against them for a decade. "The Republican party doesn't believe in democracy. A vote for the GOP is a vote for a party that believes that Congress, not the American people, should be allowed to choose the President."	2Anger Expression
Raffensperger is providing the GOP what it means to take seriously their oath of office and placing their state and our nation before Trump or the Party. While I may not agree with his policy positions, I do respect him for how he is carrying out his office. Citizens in Georgia should be proud of how the Security of State is protecting their vote against a man who hates our nation.	1State Anger

The irony is that Trump was the one that cheated and committed election fraud all along. He started off cheating by butchering the USPS, in order to sabotage mail in votes because he knew mail in votes skewed toward Democratic voters. He also cheated when he tried to extort Ukraine with US tax payer money, in order to smear Biden, via Biden's son, because he was worried that Biden was the biggest threat to him as a general election opponent. And post election, he is using every underhanded and immoral technique, including criminal conduct, to overturn the election. Trump supporters, you are right. There was election fraud. It was election fraud committed by Trump all along.	0Trait Anger
It's not meant to succeed, it's simply another "conservative" carnival sideshow meant to dazzle rubes into buying up some maga merchandise, donating to whatever butthurt Donnie Did Nothing Wrong campaign they've cobbled together most recently and it's a way for giggling idiots like Hawley to try and flatter some of Trump's orc army into his service.

One can only hope.	2Anger Expression
I note that at writing, the increasingly right-leaning RealClearPolitics is maintaining complete silence on the Raffensperger call story, which is interesting as they've already posted their Monday morning compilation of all the "interesting political news" from Sunday. I'm assuming that (1) they're panicking and trying to figure out how to spin this, and (2) hoping to somehow keep the story from reaching Republican voters for 24 hours and affecting the vote.	1State Anger
One can only hope. All we need in this country is more agonizing years of Mitch McConnell fucking us over at every turn.	1State Anger
I hope that Trump does intentionally suppress the Republican turnout (more than he already has). And I hope that the GOP loses their senate majority over it. And I hope Trump brags that he lost them their majority because they didn’t back him enough. Because surely that’s going to make his chances of securing the nomination in 2024 just Excellent. Fucking idiot.	1State Anger
Imagine the conflict inside Trump’s head. If either or both Republicans win the GA runoffs, he’ll want to take credit, but it proves the system ISN’T rigged and he’s just a loser. For his ego, it’s slightly better if both candidates lose, because although it shows his endorsements are worthless, it also supports his delusions of rigged elections. PREDICTION: If the results are split, he’ll credit the winner with supporting him sufficiently and the loser of being a disloyal RINO.	0Trait Anger
We still need every registered person who hasn’t voted to get out tomorrow and vote! We have to keep these two corrupt, greedy criminals out of congress and take as much power from McConnell as we can take. Adding two dem seats will do that. We turned this state blue! We can win those seats!	1State Anger
Have we learned nothing? Polls don't matter. It's just a tool to make people think their person is winning so they will not vote.	0Trait Anger
If you choose to vote republican, you’re voting for the Trump party. The Republican Party will have to split off eventually so that the neo-trump party can sink its own ship, and we break this two party system. Secondly, if you vote republican, you are perpetuating false narratives that fuel the fire to this cold civil war that’s been brewing in this ever polarized nation.	0Trait Anger
>According to the FiveThirtyEight average of head-to-head polls in Georgia, Ossoff and Warnock lead Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue by roughly two percentage points each with 24 hours left until Election Day. >In the weighted average, Ossoff is backed by 49.2 percent of Georgia voters, while Perdue is backed by 47.4 percent. By comparison, Warnock is supported by 49.5 percent of voters, while Loeffler is backed by 47.2 percent. >The narrow leads for the Democratic candidates would fall within the margins of error of most head-to-head polls for the Georgia runoff elections, which tend to hover at around four percentage points.	1State Anger
Who votes republican? They can’t have any form of decency or honesty. After all that’s happened, after all the horrors visited upon the people by them, from Covid, to serving the very rich. From cruel, warring, hateful bigots, to lying, stupid, anti science zealots. How do they have a following at all? There must be some kind of trance or brainwashing going on.	0Trait Anger
He supposedly has a rally today I think. I wonder if he sinks the GOP's ship at the rally and tells Georgians not to vote. Based on the leaked call he's super pissed they the GOP convinced him to endorse Georgia's governor and regrets it.	1State Anger

Dear Dick Cheney, I know we've had our differences, but if you want to just step in here at any point we'll let you keep his heart, no questions asked.	2Anger Expression
trump repeatedly claimed Obama would start a war w Iran or use the military to not leave office - the orange turd tipped his hat years ago	0Trait Anger
I can all but guarantee that this warning won’t even cross his desk. He won’t read it, acknowledge it, nothing. This is the issue here, all this “dire warning” shit means nothing to trump because it’s essentially toothless since he has the DoJ pocketed. He is, at least until he’s dragged from the White House kicking and screaming, basically invincible, and that’s a scary ass situation. I did see that an aircraft carrier had been dispatched to Iran but has now since been told to return to port, so I think he is absolutely going to do something.	0Trait Anger

And now confirmation that Raffensperger and his lawyer decided to record the call because Trump and Lindsey Graham previously lied about their efforts https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/1346086967461765121	1State Anger
The part of that call that still fucking baffles me is the sequence concerning the Dominion machine shit. At one point Trump asks plainly if Dominion was removing machines. Ryan Germany says no. Afterwards Trump asks if Dominion was removing parts from the insides of the machines and replacing them. Germany again says no. Later in the call, Trump goes back to saying Dominion was removing machines. I firmly believe that many people use "gaslighting" too loosely to reference anything where two people have conflicting stories, but this is 100% gaslighting. Trump will keep asserting falsehoods over and over even when told they're not true.	1State Anger
If only we could have seen this coming - we could have impeached Trump.	1State Anger
Actual opening paragraph: >Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Monday that it was unlikely his office would open an investigation into his weekend phone call with President Donald Trump, but suggested a criminal probe could still be launched by an Atlanta-area district attorney.	1State Anger
He should be impeached after the fact and lose his presidential pension.	2Anger Expression
Could, should, might, may, just kill me.	2Anger Expression
This shouldn’t be optional. Numerous lawyers and politicians say this constituted a state and federal crime. Nobody’s above the law you say? Prove it.	0Trait Anger

So is now the time everyone finally realizes that Trump and his enablers are traitors to the United States and deserve to go to prison?

If we don't do something about this really fucking soon, then all it takes is for Republicans to gain control both houses of Congress and install whoever they want as POTUS and basically end democracy in America.

Imagine the conflict inside Trump’s head. If either or both Republicans win the GA runoffs, he’ll want to take credit, but it proves the system ISN’T rigged and he’s just a loser. For his ego, it’s slightly better if both candidates lose, because although it shows his endorsements are worthless, it also supports his delusions of rigged elections. PREDICTION: If the results are split, he’ll credit the winner with supporting him sufficiently and the loser of being a disloyal RINO.

We still need every registered person who hasn’t voted to get out tomorrow and vote! We have to keep these two corrupt, greedy criminals out of congress and take as much power from McConnell as we can take. Adding two dem seats will do that. We turned this state blue! We can win those seats!

1State Anger

Have we learned nothing? Polls don't matter. It's just a tool to make people think their person is winning so they will not vote.

If you choose to vote republican, you’re voting for the Trump party. The Republican Party will have to split off eventually so that the neo-trump party can sink its own ship, and we break this two party system. Secondly, if you vote republican, you are perpetuating false narratives that fuel the fire to this cold civil war that’s been brewing in this ever polarized nation.

>According to the FiveThirtyEight average of head-to-head polls in Georgia, Ossoff and Warnock lead Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue by roughly two percentage points each with 24 hours left until Election Day. >In the weighted average, Ossoff is backed by 49.2 percent of Georgia voters, while Perdue is backed by 47.4 percent. By comparison, Warnock is supported by 49.5 percent of voters, while Loeffler is backed by 47.2 percent. >The narrow leads for the Democratic candidates would fall within the margins of error of most head-to-head polls for the Georgia runoff elections, which tend to hover at around four percentage points.

Who votes republican? They can’t have any form of decency or honesty. After all that’s happened, after all the horrors visited upon the people by them, from Covid, to serving the very rich. From cruel, warring, hateful bigots, to lying, stupid, anti science zealots. How do they have a following at all? There must be some kind of trance or brainwashing going on.

He supposedly has a rally today I think. I wonder if he sinks the GOP's ship at the rally and tells Georgians not to vote. Based on the leaked call he's super pissed they the GOP convinced him to endorse Georgia's governor and regrets it.

Remember, exactly zero polls are used to count votes. Please vote tomorrow.

When you’ve lost the moral high ground to Donald Rumsfeld, you’ve really fucked up.

1State Anger

When you have Dick Cheney, the embodiment of evil, signing something telling you not to do it. Then you know shits fucked.

1State Anger

Did Obama ever provoke all 10 living secretaries of defense into a letter warning him of his actions? No? But both sides are the same? OK....

0Trait Anger

Something's up. This is really unusual. Is Trump trying to wag the dog by poking Iran?

1State Anger

Dear Dick Cheney, I know we've had our differences, but if you want to just step in here at any point we'll let you keep his heart, no questions asked.

2Anger Expression

trump repeatedly claimed Obama would start a war w Iran or use the military to not leave office - the orange turd tipped his hat years ago

I can all but guarantee that this warning won’t even cross his desk. He won’t read it, acknowledge it, nothing. This is the issue here, all this “dire warning” shit means nothing to trump because it’s essentially toothless since he has the DoJ pocketed. He is, at least until he’s dragged from the White House kicking and screaming, basically invincible, and that’s a scary ass situation. I did see that an aircraft carrier had been dispatched to Iran but has now since been told to return to port, so I think he is absolutely going to do something.

1State Anger

For the uninitiated, how is this extraordinary? They are former chiefs, and like many other formers govt employees who "warned", it did nothing to change people's mind about Trump

According to the leaked phone call, Trump is coming to remind Georgian’s not to trust the election and not to bother voting in the election because it’s “rigged” anyway. I guess losing all legislative control is how they’re going to “own the libs”?

It's getting old - people who think this election was somehow hornswoggled by a rogue software company and a handful of Dems are mental....

I am pretty sure this means that someone has been making phone calls to generals asking for the military to support his coup.

1State Anger

They 'Caution' him against it? Listen, if he can do it, he will do it. So, this tells me he's totally going to try and do this. Great.

1State Anger

This letter was Dick Cheney's idea. A secret Democrat, who knew?

Or McConnell set up a show. Romney vs Cruz factions, setting Republicans (especially Romney as “the reasonable Republican”) up for post Trump politics.

And now confirmation that Raffensperger and his lawyer decided to record the call because Trump and Lindsey Graham previously lied about their efforts https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/1346086967461765121

1State Anger

The part of that call that still fucking *baffles* me is the sequence concerning the Dominion machine shit. At one point Trump asks plainly if Dominion was removing machines. Ryan Germany says no. Afterwards Trump asks if Dominion was removing parts from the insides of the machines and replacing them. Germany again says no. Later in the call, Trump *goes back to saying Dominion was removing machines*. I firmly believe that many people use "gaslighting" too loosely to reference anything where two people have conflicting stories, but this is 100% gaslighting. Trump will keep asserting falsehoods over and over even when told they're not true.

1State Anger

If only we could have seen this coming - we could have impeached Trump.

1State Anger

Actual opening paragraph: >Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Monday that it was **unlikely his office would open an investigation** into his weekend phone call with President Donald Trump, but suggested **a criminal probe could still be launched by an Atlanta-area district attorney.**

1State Anger

He should be impeached after the fact and lose his presidential pension.

2Anger Expression

Could, should, might, may, just kill me.

This shouldn’t be optional. Numerous lawyers and politicians say this constituted a state and federal crime. Nobody’s above the law you say? Prove it.
