ElCid Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It appears that one purpose of all the Republican lawsuits and calls for recounts and so forth in several states that Biden fairly won is to encourage the Republican controlled legislatures in those states to STEAL the election from the people. The hope is that the Republicans vote to not accept the will of the people, but to rather elect slates of Trump friendly electors to throw the election. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TomJH Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yeh, a couple of Republican legislators in, I believe, Wayne County, Michigan just tried that last evening and then were forced to back off. Trump tweeted, thanking them for their courage. I guess in Republican parlance "courage" is another name for overturning the vote of the people. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sepiatone Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Y'know TOM, the news SAYS Wayne County, but as a Wayne County resident I know the target there was the African-American majority city of DETROIT. And several other news reports claim that Trump spends his days "hunkering" down in the white house, just sitting there watching TV and tweeting all day. Sort of like having HOWARD HUGHES as president! Sepiatone 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, but the "plan," such as it is, is to create an environment where the Republican controlled legislatures can reject the votes of the people and elect their own GOP friendly electors.

Vautrin Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 The dopey duo of Dick Morris and Alan Dershowitz were on Newsmax today putting forth some of the crazier possibilities, among them trying to get the Republican controlled legislatures of some of the battleground states that Biden won to reject the voters' choice and appoint their own Trump supporting electoral college slate. Morris is very enthusiastic about it, but Dersh said it would take a perfect storm for everything to fall into place. I saw a day or two ago that some of these legislators have already said they won't do this, so it's not likely to move forward. Awwww. (Just to be clear, they were not on at the same time, but one came on right after the other). 3 Link to post Share on other sites

LsDoorMat Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 "I did receive a call from President Trump, late Tuesday evening, after the meeting,” Monica Palmer, one of two Republican members of the four-member Wayne County canvassing board, told The Post. “He was checking in to make sure I was safe after hearing the threats and doxing that had occurred.” - Washington Post Ha. Ha. If she thinks Donald Trump is concerned about anybody but himself she has much to learn.

LsDoorMat Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 November 19, 2020 at 2:50 p.m. EST "DETROIT — President Trump has invited the leaders of Michigan’s Republican-controlled state legislature to meet him in Washington on Friday, according to a person familiar with those plans, as the president and his allies continue an extraordinary campaign to overturn the results of an election he lost. Trump’s campaign has suffered defeats in courtrooms across the country in its efforts to allege irregularities with the ballot-counting process, and has failed to muster any evidence of the widespread fraud that the president continues to claim tainted the 2020 election. Trump lost Michigan by a wide margin: at present, he trails President-Elect Joseph R. Biden in the state by 157,000 votes. Earlier this week, the state’s Republican Senate Majority Leader said an effort to have legislators throw out election results was “not going to happen.”" - Washington Post Link to post Share on other sites

Can this get anymore INSANE? He's trying to get the legislature to throw out the votes and elect their own set of electors to vote for DUMP! Subversion of democracy! I feel like I'm living in a Banana Republic!!! Is this their end game? To also go to GA and other Biden states to overturn ALL of their elections so he can win the Electoral College??? HE SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
