Fake electors try to deliver Arizona's 11 votes for Trump

[WestPhillyPunisher]

Senator Kelly Loeffler, already in a feud with her own WNBA team over their support of BlackLivesMatter, posed for a selfie with former Klan leader and Charlottesville attendee Chester Doles over the weekend. She is now SHOCKED that people are convinced she's racist.

She should have stuck to her main hobby of insider trading, because holy f***.

A reminder that Donald Sterling, former owner of the L.A. Clippers had been forced out because of a history of racist behavior. How long before the WNBA tries to get Loeffler kicked out?

Fake electors try to deliver Arizona's 11 votes for Trump

"Mesa resident Lori Osiecki, 62, helped created a facsimile of the "certificate of ascertainment" that is submitted to formally cast each state's electoral votes as part of an effort to prevent what she views as the fraudulent theft of the election."

So in order to prevent fraudulent theft of the election they committed fraudulent theft of the election.

The logic of what they tried to do was so twisted, it’s staggering.

Trump Adviser Stephen Miller Says 'Alternate' Electors Will Vote in Key States

"Speaking to Fox & Friends, the senior adviser said: "As we speak, today, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote, and we're going to send those results up to Congress. This will ensure that all of our legal remedies will remain open. "That means that if we win these cases in the courts, that we can direct that the alternate slate of electors be certified."

.....

See, it's things like this that get me to say things that will get me in trouble.

It's not theft if they do it, just like it's not a legal vote unless it's their votes. Call them the 'Me, Me, Me, Me' generation.

I'm not expecting her to be charged with a crime until after Jan. 20th.

The longer they delay—including allowing mass evictions & foreclosures to occur—the more this number will go up & the longer it will take to recover U.S. needs estimated $4.5 trillion in stimulus to recover, analysis argues. While I get that, sometimes, the phrase "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" applies, this is not one of those times. They have not met critical *needs* of tens of millions of people, which means they couldn't do the bare minimum to pass the "good" threshold.

Congressman Paul Mitchell quits the GOP over Trump's attempts to overturn the election.



This might have more impact if he wasn't retiring at the end of the session anyways.

Congressman cites Trump's efforts to overturn election in announcing decision to quit GOP

(CNN)In an exclusive interview, Rep. Paul Mitchell, Republican of Michigan, told CNN that his disgust and disappointment with President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the election have led him to request that the Clerk of the House change his party affiliation to "independent," and to notify GOP leaders in a letter that he is withdrawing his "engagement and association with the Republican Party at both the national and state level."

Mitchell, who is retiring at the end of this session of Congress, says he fears that the House GOP leadership's participation in the outgoing President's conspiracy theories and attempts to disenfranchise millions of American voters to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's victory could cause "long-term harm to our democracy."

It is "unacceptable for political candidates to treat our election system as though we are a third-world nation and incite distrust of something so basic as the sanctity of our vote," Mitchell wrote in his letter, which was sent Monday.

Mitchell noted that Republican leaders had been "collectively sit(ting) back and tolerat(ing) unfounded conspiracy theories and 'stop the steal' rallies without speaking out for our electoral process," and the last straw for him seemed to be "the leadership of the Republican Party and our Republican Conference in the House actively participating in at least some of those efforts."
