Fuck Mike Dewine. He started strong in the beginning of the pandemic, but he’s slowly revealed what an absolute puss he really is.	1State Anger
Lock em up. Straight up sedition.	1State Anger
I have a solution... it’s time to scrap the electoral college once and for all.	2Anger Expression
It’s crazy: if the GOP had the House, then it may have worked. That’s all it takes to overturn the election next time around.	1State Anger
OR a new amendment be written to plug the holes. And they have to find a way to deal with presidential criminality beyond what the Constitution provides for now Laws about treason need to be more clear (redefine what 'wartime' is)	1State Anger
I don't like the angle that Trump is something being done to the Republican party. What we now call Trumpism has been part of the GOP since Nixon; we've just ignored it or allowed them to maintain plausible deniability. Trump didn't make the GOP like this; they've been like this for decades.	0Trait Anger
Because ‘Trumpism’ symbolizes every animalistic urge that humans are supposed to be taught to fight against. Greed, hate, ego, ignorance....It’s nothing but a cancer on humanity. It’s the ‘easy’ way to live life.	0Trait Anger
The dumbing down of the American people will persist.	0Trait Anger
It's EXTREMELY unusual for a large portion of a single parties representatives to outright deny facts. This is yet more enabling of these lunatics	1State Anger
With no evidence? Hillary Clinton had better evidence of a rigged election than Trump has yet she still conceded election night.	1State Anger
This isn't challenging election results, this is a straight up coup attempt to see how much support they get.	1State Anger
1 or 2 politicians challenging an election is very different from a dozen Senators and 140 Representatives. This is unprecedented and saying it's not is dangerous. So... as usual "Fuck Chris Christie".	1State Anger
Keep remembering. None of this is normal, this should not be happening. Their actions are not part of a normal election and their case has no founding in reality. THIS IS NOT NORMAL	1State Anger
If only the damned media would do a little of the same.	0Trait Anger
Biden: Who? Do you mean that guy from the Apprentice and Home Alone 2?	1State Anger
Biden (and Harris) have handled this all very well, especially since everyone else is losing their minds. There's nothing Trump hates more than being ignored.	0Trait Anger
Ignore, investigate, and indict as appropriate	2Anger Expression
This is probably the most effective way of dealing with someone like 45.	2Anger Expression
For now, I don't care, but will be very disappointed if he keeps it up after taking office.	1State Anger
>They've also noted that Republicans are being selective in challenging results, alleging fraud in certain states won by Biden but not in down ballot races won by Republicans in those very same states. The hypocrisy knows no bounds. Edit: Never forget that Ted Cruz once ate a booger during a live TV debate.	1State Anger
"we've seen unprecendented allegations of voter fraud" ...none of which have amounted to anything...	1State Anger
He noted that some Democrats had accused him of "treason." Only because it is treason. F*ck him	1State Anger
Biden's AG needs to bring Sedition charges right away.	1State Anger
'Calm down. This isn't going to hurt, I'm just going to slide this in here. CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN! WHY WON'T YOU LET ME DO THIS?! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!' Yep, that sounds sick and twisted. Go fuck yourself Ted, and leave the rest of us out of it.	1State Anger
"stay calm, we're just trying to over turn an election without presenting any proof of all the massive fraud we claim to have but can't show anyone, it's not like we're attempting a coup or s.....oh wait, yeah, I see it now, it kinda is a coup isn't it? oh well nobody will ever remember this in 2024......"	1State Anger
No we aren’t, you break the law as a president you deserve any legal problems that come your way.	1State Anger
If it was a Democratic President, the division would be zero. The answer would be a resounding NO on both sides of the aisle. But because it is Dear Leader, the right seems to think this nonsense is OK.	0Trait Anger
It's actually a solid "NO" if you are talking facts, precedent and legality. It does not matter what the opinions of Q-laid drinkers are about it. Why is this even a headline? When is the application of law subject to a popularity contest? Unless you want the future of this country to have the Supreme Court be a fucking daytime tv show where people call in to vote like American Idol	1State Anger
Everyone who signed on for this unamerican display of cowardice needs to remain on the defence about this choice until the end of their political careers.	2Anger Expression
Senator Kennedy from Louisiana jumped on this bandwagon. I just sent a scathing email voicing my displeasure, I know it won't do any good but at least I know I put it out there.	2Anger Expression
I'd call Ted Cruz a sack of shit but I think it's an insult to an honest turd in a bag. What an absolute spineless toady.	1State Anger

Time to remove these sacks of shit for sedition.	1State Anger
>We need to tone down the rhetoric. This is already a volatile situation. It’s like a tinderbox and throwing lit matches into it,” he said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” Ted Cruz As he pours gasoline on the fire. LOL	1State Anger
They will forever carry the label "traitor"	0Trait Anger
Pelosi needs to grow a pair and refuse to seat the new and returning elected officials that signed on to this madness. (I know Cruz is in the Senate - not the House... Point stands, though. She needs to do whatever she can)	2Anger Expression
That’d be because there is no reasonable way to explain their position within our democracy. They should move to Different country and see if they can set up the oligarchy they’d prefer. If they want to live here, they can play by the constitutional laws, judicial precedent, and legislation we have in place. Or pay the criminal penalties.	2Anger Expression
Clumsy attempt at moving the goal post once again. Recounts - trump loses Court cases - trump loses Certifying State results - trump loses Electoral College - trump loses. Its over - CLEARLY - over. This is Sedition, nothing more, and these Senators need to be prosecuted fully.	1State Anger
Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison and it refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it.	0Trait Anger
>“We are not acting to thwart the democratic process — we are acting to protect it,” Johnson said “It became necessary to destroy the town to save it.”	2Anger Expression
I did not expect this.	1State Anger
Don't see anything about assisting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans in just half a year.	1State Anger
And every one of those early ‘accomplishments’ was due to two things: 1) Obama’s eight years of straight economic growth continued 2) Trump’s socialistic priming of the pump (don’t forget, Trump invented this term, he said so himself so you know it’s true. 😂) Which reminds me, the records that will be Trump’s legacy are: * most corrupt admin * gave away secrets and policies to enemies * worst economic downtown since Great Depression * record job losses * record budget deficit * record trade deficit * record emolument self-enrichment while in office * record nepotism *	0Trait Anger

You are doing fine Ayanna Pressley, keep it up. You are not only facing the usual U.S. bigotry you are facing a political opposition that equates their partisan beliefs with religious fervor and openly call any opposition satanic and evil. What you stand for is a rational relationship between governed and government that works for the governed. And organizations like usatoday, supports the haters because they believe they must serve all ideas equally and never identify policies of exclusion, oppression and exploitation as what they are, bad. wrong and destructive. Nor will they call out the decades of voter suppression and laws that created mass incarceration and social policies that destroyed communities and families. (exploitation)\* You are doing fine Ayanna, keep it up.	2Anger Expression
Sounds more like whining to me.	2Anger Expression
Every GOP senator and representative should have to prove the legitimacy of their election. Audits, every one of them. Especially in Florida, where fake candidates with names similar to Dem candidates were financed with mystery donations.	1State Anger

There's two main parties in the US; The conspiracy theory party And The incremental change (so we don't upset our donors) party.	0Trait Anger
For clarity, I think Lindsey is a follower by nature. He knows Trump is done, so the question isn't whether he lands in someone else's camp but which camp he lands in. Sounds like he's leaning McConnell, but he's a lightweight and it won't take much to push him elsewhere. https://twitter.com/questauthority/status/1345796041908637700	0Trait Anger
In each case, the new progressive candidate replaced a long-term centrist Democrat. These were not swing seats, they were seats in blue districts. Replacing centrists with progressives in Dem strongholds, not in "swing seats", is the way to build a progressive presence in Congress. Primaries are where we should be focusing our energy. Watch out, Blue Dogs.	0Trait Anger
Yes. So much yes. Epic. Fucking. Win. That is all.	1State Anger
The neo-libs still own the DNC, but it's a sure bet AOC is inspiring more folks to run for Congress than Pelosi.	0Trait Anger
> For the good of America, [Trump] must fail. The alternative is ultimately the collapse of political norms and civil strife. A classic demagogue, Mr Trump is signalling to his supporters that they, like him, should refuse to respect the election’s outcome and reject Mr Biden’s presidency. There is a well-grounded fear that protests could erupt, some of them armed. Mr Trump might call out the national guard or send federal agents to deal with demonstrations. This chaos, Mr Trump no doubt hopes, will pave the way for an autocratic takeover. > Mr Trump is a sore loser who cannot stand that he was beaten in a fair election. He should move on but sees no reason why he should yield. After all, Mr Trump has not been punished for his transgressions against tradition, decency and the law. Instead, he has been rewarded. He thinks he can get away with almost anything. The Republican party has only itself to blame for incubating Trumpism, a parasitical ideology that threatens to take over the host. We all already knew this, but this editorial puts it quite nicely imo. Our democracy is at stake right now.	1State Anger
Trump's whole life strategy is cheating.	0Trait Anger
“A bipartisan group of senators on Sunday urged their colleagues to support the Electoral College vote, as at least a dozen GOP senators prepare to challenge the election results on Wednesday. GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Bill Cassidy (La.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitt Romney (Utah) and Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Mark Warner (Va.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Independent Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) said in a joint statement that the “election is over.” “At this point, further attempts to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election are contrary to the clearly expressed will of the American people and only serve to undermine Americans’ confidence in the already determined election results,” they said. “The voters have spoken, and Congress must now fulfill its responsibility to certify the election results. .... It is time to move forward,” they added.”	1State Anger
And climate change is real, tax cuts don't 'pay for themselves' and on and on. Republicans are so deluded by their right-wing fake news the can no longer distinguish what's real from propaganda.	0Trait Anger

And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you’ve recalculated," Trump told Raffensperger, before questioning the secretary about a "rumor" that ballots for him were "shredded" in Fulton County, which is home to Atlanta, the state's largest city and a major Democratic bastion. > >"All I want to do is this," the president continued. "I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”	1State Anger

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God, unless I am a Republican, then I bow down to my lord and savior Donald J. Trump.	1State Anger
Well, America, you have a recording of your President out and out advocating for Government Officials to commit election fraud; a criminal offence in any civilized country. WTF will it take for America to grow a spine and start dealing with the mess the GOP, McConnell, his loathsome gang of bottom-feeding Senators and Congressmen? Your country is on the brink of a civil war brought on by the machinations of Trump, McConnell and Trump supporters to rob the US of what little democracy they have left.

Replacing centrists with progressives in Dem strongholds, not in "swing seats", is the way to build a progressive presence in Congress. Primaries are where we should be focusing our energy. Watch out, Blue Dogs.

The neo-libs still own the DNC, but it's a sure bet AOC is inspiring more folks to run for Congress than Pelosi.

> For the good of America, [Trump] must fail. The alternative is ultimately the collapse of political norms and civil strife. A classic demagogue, Mr Trump is signalling to his supporters that they, like him, should refuse to respect the election’s outcome and reject Mr Biden’s presidency. There is a well-grounded fear that protests could erupt, some of them armed. Mr Trump might call out the national guard or send federal agents to deal with demonstrations. This chaos, Mr Trump no doubt hopes, will pave the way for an autocratic takeover. > Mr Trump is a sore loser who cannot stand that he was beaten in a fair election. He should move on but sees no reason why he should yield. After all, Mr Trump has not been punished for his transgressions against tradition, decency and the law. Instead, he has been rewarded. He thinks he can get away with almost anything. The Republican party has only itself to blame for incubating Trumpism, a parasitical ideology that threatens to take over the host. We all already knew this, but this editorial puts it quite nicely imo. Our democracy is at stake right now.

Trump's whole life strategy is cheating.

“A bipartisan group of senators on Sunday urged their colleagues to support the Electoral College vote, as at least a dozen GOP senators prepare to challenge the election results on Wednesday. GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Bill Cassidy (La.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitt Romney (Utah) and Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Mark Warner (Va.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Independent Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) said in a joint statement that the “election is over.” “At this point, further attempts to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election are contrary to the clearly expressed will of the American people and only serve to undermine Americans’ confidence in the already determined election results,” they said. “The voters have spoken, and Congress must now fulfill its responsibility to certify the election results. .... It is time to move forward,” they added.”

And climate change is real, tax cuts don't 'pay for themselves' and on and on. Republicans are so deluded by their right-wing fake news the can no longer distinguish what's real from propaganda.

>“The people of Georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry. And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you’ve recalculated," Trump told Raffensperger, before questioning the secretary about a "rumor" that ballots for him were "shredded" in Fulton County, which is home to Atlanta, the state's largest city and a major Democratic bastion. > >**"All I want to do is this,"** the president continued. **"I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”**

Can we arrest him now?

Trump.*

Well, America, you have a recording of your President out and out advocating for Government Officials to commit election fraud; a criminal offence in any civilized country. WTF will it take for America to grow a spine and start dealing with the mess the GOP, McConnell, his loathsome gang of bottom-feeding Senators and Congressmen? Your country is on the brink of a civil war brought on by the machinations of Trump, McConnell and Trump supporters to rob the US of what little democracy they have left. Do something besides gnashing your teeth.

I think Bernie has much more appetite for extended 2 hour debates over Cruz so I hope he and other Democrats cause several hours of debate over Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas and Florida way before Republicans get to challenge Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin.

I read somewhere that the last time senators refused to accept the result of an election, (it was Lincoln's election) they were expelled from the Senate. Seems to me like this is a good way to get rid of some of these useless senators.

Ted Cruz is a straight up garbage human. Why people keep electing monsters like him is hard to comprehend.

It's not a dangerous president but sedition

Lots of calls for sedition charges. Until Trump is gone, there isn't anyone to charge them.

To be clear Trump was asking Raffensperger to find votes so he could win. Sounds like he's asking him to commit fraud. ‘I just want to find 11,780 votes’ Trump.

this is worse than watergate, I hope he doesn't get away with it this time.

R/conservative is truly living in a different reality. Saying the recording is doctored.

This is so fucking wild. Watergate is nothing compared to the audio we just heard. Conservatives are going to have a harder and harder time keeping this wounded animal POTUS from lashing out as it’s backed into a corner. Just think of all the metaphorical bodies under busses in the next two weeks.
