Let's be clear here folks. If the founding fathers, the legislation, the courts, or anyone with any real authority really believed that challenges to election results were akin to a traitor committing treason, then why are these procedures and options legally on the table?
Sure, in 2020 liberals feel that protesting within the confines of the law makes is committing treason and makes you a traitor. But burning down buildings, attacking police officers, looting, and destroying people's businesses is acceptable behavior.

No you fucking asshole....no one denies the fact that challenges can be made....the issue is trump lying about fraud without evidence and idiots like you believing him!!!!!!!! bWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! 60 lost court cases and no evidence of fraud presented in any one....just opinion that it happened!!!!!
what's even more absurd than the democrat cries of treason and sedition (except when THEY do it to every GOP president since Bush 41), is how they demanded mail in voting because covid, only to drag a covid positive asshole from WI into the house chamber to vote for denture sucker Peloshee for speaker.

Georgia Official Seeks Investigation of Trump
7:29 am
“The only Democrat on Georgia’s state election board on Sunday called on Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) to investigate possible civil and criminal violations committed by President Trump during a phone call over the weekend in which the president pressured Raffensperger to ‘find’ enough votes to overturn his defeat, the Washington Post reports.
Two Months That Sum Up Trump’s Presidency
9:20 am
First Read:
“The last two months since the election — Nov. 3 to Jan. 3 — have been arguably the two most turbulent months of the Trump Era.
“They also perfectly encapsulate the entire Trump presidency.
“False claims and conspiracy theories.
Chaos.
Firings and staff shakeups.
Controversial pardons.
Defeats in Congress and the courts.
A divided Republican Party
– split between those willing to do the president’s bidding
and those thinking he’s gone too far.
And to top it all off, a leaked phone call asking Georgia’s secretary of state to overturn the election results on a day when U.S. coronavirus deaths surpass 350,000.”
Pence Does His Homework
6:38 am
Vice President Mike Pence was on Capitol Hill apparently studying up for his role in Wednesday’s Electoral College vote counting, CNN reports.
“Pence just left the Hill after a two-hour meeting in his office that included an appearance by the Senate parliamentarian… Trump’s been vocal privately that he expects the VP to play a role in the GOP disruption when Congress meets to certify Biden’s win.”
Trump Could Head to Scotland to Skip Inauguration
7:33 am
“President Trump could be planning a trip to Scotland to void attending his successor Joe Biden’s inauguration,” the Sunday Post reports.
“Prestwick airport has been told to expect the arrival of a US military Boeing 757 aircraft, that is occasionally used by Trump, on January 19 – the day before his Democratic rival takes charge at the White House.
“Speculation surrounding Trump’s plans has been fuelled by the activity of US Army aircraft, which were based at Prestwick airport for a week and said to be carrying out 3D reconnaissance of the president’s Turnberry resort.”
Clues About Post-Trump Politics Await In Georgia
7:26 am
“For more than four years, President Trump has dominated the Republican Party and the whole of American politics. Now Georgia gets to decide what comes next,” the AP reports.
“Two Senate runoffs on Tuesday, just 15 days before Trump leaves office, will not only determine which party controls the Senate but offer the first clues about how long Trump can maintain his grip on the nation’s politics once he’s out of the White House.”
Axios: “The Republican battle lines being formed in President Trump’s final days
— his loyalists vs. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s establishment
— will shape American politics for the next four years.”
Kemp Absent from Campaign Trail In Final Days
6:56 am
Atlanta Journal Constitution:
“Absent from the campaign trail in the final week leading up to Election Day has been Gov. Brian Kemp. Although Kemp campaigned frequently for the senators earlier in the fall, he has been missing from the final Republican push ahead of Tuesday’s runoffs, embroiled instead in a contentious standoff with President Donald Trump following Trump’s inaccurate claims that he won the November election in Georgia.”

Inaccurate is too nice a word.
Trump Could Face Election Fraud Charges
10:00 am
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) told ABC News that President Trump could face a criminal investigation over his demand that Georgia top elections official “find” enough votes to throw the state to him.
Said Raffensperger:
“I understand that the Fulton County district attorney wants to look at it. Maybe that’s the appropriate venue for it to go.”
New Congress Kicks Off with GOP Civil War
10:11 am
Politico: “An intra-party battle is heating up within the Republican Party as two bitterly divided sides clash over the decision of at least 12 GOP senators, and dozens more House Republicans, to challenge the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election win.
“The effort is snowballing as more Republicans join the Trump-guard led by Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley in the Senate and Rep. Mo Brooks in the House, while the old guard like Senate Majority Mitch McConnell, Sen. Pat Toomey and Mitt Romney is warning that this effort is jeopardizing the nation’s democratic values.
“With nearly a quarter of Senate Republicans taking part in the effort, against the urging of top GOP Senate leaders, it is also becoming clear just how much of a force Trump will be in the Republican Party even once he’s out of the White House.
“The tensions have jumped so high that individual GOP senators are now directly headbutting one another, with Toomey accusing Cruz, Hawley and other Republicans of undermining the right to participate in direct elections and Hawley decrying Toomey’s arguments and ‘shameless personal attacks.'”
Dear, dear.
Play nice, children.
Tom Cotton Will Not Challenge Electoral Vote
10:15 am
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who is seen as a rising star in the Republican Party and a major ally for President Trump, told Fox News that he will not oppose the counting of certified electoral votes during a joint session of Congress later this week to confirm Joe Biden’s election victory.

Ex-Defense Secretaries Warn Military Officials
10:25 am EST
All ten living secretaries of defense — including Dick Cheney, James Mattis, Mark Esper, and Donald Rumsfield — signed an open letter about the military and the peaceful transfer of power:
“As senior Defense Department leaders have noted, ‘there’s no role for the U.S. military in determining the outcome of a U.S. election.’ Efforts to involve the U.S. armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory. Civilian and military officials who direct or carry out such measures would be accountable, including potentially facing criminal penalties, for the grave consequences of their actions on our republic.
David Frum:
“That letter from 10 former SecDefs warning against Trump using the military to hold onto power causes me to wonder:
Has Trump been making calls to US generals like that he made to Georgia secretary of state, demanding or threatening they help him overturn the 2020 election?”
Biden has said his Inauguration Day festivities will include a military parade after which military officials will accompany him into the White House.
TRANSLATION:
Trump better stand aside.
what's even more absurd than the democrat cries of treason and sedition (except when THEY do it to every GOP president since Bush 41),
You really are kidding rat, ????????? BWAAAAAA!!!
A lifelong Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Monday that the data President Donald Trump cited to him throughout an hour-long phone call Saturday to claim there was rampant voter fraud in the state's presidential election "is just plain wrong."
MORE: Trump demands Georgia secretary of state 'find' enough votes to hand him win
"He did most of the talking. We did most of the listening but I did want to make my points that the data that he has is just plain wrong," Raffensperger said of the extraordinary call during an exclusive interview with ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America."
"He had hundreds and hundreds of people he said that were dead that voted. We found two, that's an example of just -- he has bad data," he said.

Scott, I said that violence and property damage crimes should be prosecuted.
You attempt to discredit our freedom of expression because you suck Trump's testicles.
The Greatest Generation was the first ANTIFA! Americans against fascism.
Gore and Kerry did dispute the election results but they both conceded.
Instead of Trump committing crimes and asking for Secretary of the State of Georgia to commit a felony. The act is illegal.
But the lawyers would have to argue that he intentionally violated the law. But because he is a narcissistic pathological liar, he would be acquainted by a jury because he is not sane.

acquitted
Trump was not acting within the confines of the law.
The federal statute, 52 U.S. Code 20511, that makes it a crime to “knowingly and willfully” deprive or defraud a state’s residents of a free or fair election — or to attempt to do so.
Proving “knowingly and willfully” violations were committed by the lame duck President would be very difficult.
The act is illegal.
Well according to current liberal argument. Allegations are only true if confirmed by a judge. Until then we treat it all like a lie and conspiracy theory.
So Trump committing a crime is no more or less true than allegations of election fraud.
It is a cowardly act by a self serving megalomaniac whose reputation as a liar is firmly established.
And do not be too sure, if charges are brought, how the courts, including the Supreme Court, may decide.
§20511. Criminal penalties
A person, including an election official, who in any election for Federal office-
(1) knowingly and willfully intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any person for-
(A) registering to vote, or voting, or attempting to register or vote;
(B) urging or aiding any person to register to vote, to vote, or to attempt to register or vote; or
(C) exercising any right under this chapter; or
(2) knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process, by-
(A) the procurement or submission of voter registration applications that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held; or
(B) the procurement, casting, or tabulation of ballots that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held,

Trump Tried to Call Georgia Official 18 Times Before
11:10 am
President Trump’s now-notorious call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) was the 19th time the White House had tried to reach the state official since the election, NBC News reports.
Perdue Defends Trump’s Call with Georgia Official
11:02 am
Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) tore into Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Monday for recording a phone call with President Trump over the weekend, Politico reports.
Said Perdue: “I guess I was raised differently. To have a statewide elected official, regardless of party, tape without disclosing a conversation — private conversation — with the president of the United States, and then leaking it to the press is disgusting.”
__________
(Surely Trump would not object to having so "perfect" a conversation recorded.
Besides, it was prudent for Raffensberger to record, for purposes of self defense. After all, Trump had already tried to involve him in a questionable phone conversation 18 times.)
Trump Should Be Prosecuted
11:00 am
Rick Hasen:
“As with so many things in this presidency and president, the question is whether Trump is drinking his own Kool-Aid. Reading the entire one-hour rambling call transcript, it is hard to know if Trump actually believes the fever swamp of debunked conspiracy theories about the election or whether he’s just using the false claims as a cover to get the political results he wants…
“Trump is the rare potential criminal defendant to have plausible deniability about whether he accepts truths as clear as gravity, making any prosecution difficult. Add onto that concerns of prosecutorial discretion for both the new Biden administration and Georgia officials, possible claims of legal immunity, a presidential self-pardon that could relieve Trump of liability under federal law, and other political hurdles, and a prosecution of Trump is unlikely.
“Despite the long odds, I would hope at least Georgia prosecutors will consider going after Trump, or that the House of Representatives might impeach him again with the goal of disqualifying from running in 2024. Lack of prosecution or investigation demonstrates that there’s little to deter the next would-be authoritarian—perhaps a more competent one—from trying to steal an election. Trump came a lot closer than he should have this time, and next time we may not be so lucky.”
(2) knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process..
https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:52 section:20511 edition:prelim)
From the White House officials say you are full of shit!
If he goes to Scotland before the inauguration, he can avoid getting arrested.
But he can be extradited from Scotland
I read the entire transcript.
Trump isn't asking anyone to find any "Trump vote" or to "add votes".
He (and his team) provides a list of possible violations (people who were not on voter rolls, people who voted twice, people whose signatures didn't match, etc, etc...) and tells the Secretary of state that they only need 11,000 votes to show that there were more fraudulent votes than the number of votes he lost by.
The number of votes he lost by is brought up several times and they also speak of the number 24,149 (which is the number of votes they feel can be proven to be illegal or fraudulent).
There would be nothing illegal about asking for verification of votes that were counted or suggesting that there are more than enough fraudulent votes to change the outcome. It would also be logical to conclude that the number of votes needing to be found would to surpass the amount of votes he lost by to make it relevant.
Only needing 11,000 votes is not "add 11,000 votes to my total" as is being QUITE DISHONESTLY reported by the liberal press... but a request to do what the courts have no ordered them to do (in terms of the forms of verification).
My guess is none of the stooges have read the transcripts of the call... but rather just relied on the same dishonest press to tell them how to think.
But the rub is this. It doesn't matter how someone "reports" something. The proof would have to be in the transcript of the phone call. The President does not ask for ANYTHING illegal to be done, unless you consider verifying ballot integrity to be illegal?
He tried to procure a fraudulent vote count by stating that he needs exactly 11,780 votes.
Under state law, it would be a difficult case. But the Biden DOJ could indict him.
But I think that they should just let it go and rescue millions from the covid-19 pandemic and fix the economy
He specifically requested 11,800 votes to be counted for him, reversing the outcome of the election, is a violation of 20511.
He did, huh? Because that is not what the transcript states. He never once asks that a single vote be counted for him. He specifically states that they need to "find 11,000 votes" - which was a reference to the fraudulent votes that they have identified.
Read the transcript Roger...
And send me the quote where he specifically states that he wants them to "add votes" to his total... rather than "find the 11,000 (fraudulent) votes".
You have been gaslighted, too stupid to realize it, and you are full of shit with lying about what you state you heard.
Scott, the ballots have been verified three times! Seeking a reversal is illegal.
You have lost your mind!
I mistyped
There is nothing illegal about asking a Secretary of State to verify the sorts of things that is being requested by the Trump team. That being said, the Secretary of State is not obligated to do so...
But don't you all believe it would be better if he did? Check the 24,000 votes to make sure that they are all on the up and up? Do the signature match and check for double voting.
Let's especially check the signature matches on the dozens of people who were forced to fill out provisional ballots because they were told by election workers that they had already voted mail in (when they hadn't). Perhaps we can see if all of these people just forgot that they voted or if someone else had turned in their ballots?
Well, if it comes to it, that recording of the phone call will be a matter for the courts, including possibly the Supreme Court to decide, as to the legality or illegality of anything Trump requested.
Georgia Runoffs Still Considered a Toss Up
11:39 am
Cook Political Report:
“Private polling from both parties, in addition to scant public polling, puts both races as a coin toss within the margin of error. It’s impossible to know how much the president’s latest temper tantrum will impact the Election Day turnout Republicans badly need. Still, GOP sources in the state certainly don’t think it will help. Early voting topped 3 million votes — already making this the highest turnout Georgia runoff ever. Democrats are encouraged by that strong turnout, which shows the numbers outpacing even Election Day totals in key demographics, particularly among Black voters and younger voters…
“The total early vote was 23 percent lower than the same period in the general election, and one GOP source predicts that if the day of vote sees that same drop, it’s not good for them.”
Also interesting:
NBC News reports that there were also 112,838 new voters who didn’t vote on November 3, and of those, 30% are under 30 and 40% are Black.
_________
A Dem controlled Senate!
Oh wouldn't it be loverly!
Scott, the ballots have been verified three times! Seeking a reversal is illegal.
You have lost your mind!
Three times, huh?
So did you miss the part of the phone call where the Secretary of State admits that they stated that they "planned on" verifying the signatures (for the first time) in Fulton county, but for some reason hasn't started yet?
If they had already done it three times, then why would the SOS office have agreed to do it for the first time?
Where did you get your information that the SOS has verified the signatures three times (and why would they do it three times?).
So apparently me reading the transcripts and correctly your factually incorrect statements is trumped by you telling everyone that "I" have lost "my" mind, huh?
Personal insults again, huh Roger?
Scott he threatened the Secretary of State with a violation of the law, He tried to procure a fraudulent vote count by stating that he needs exactly 11,780 votes.
The story about people who tried to vote, were told they had already voted, did not happen.
Prove it or shut fuck up.
Scott Fulton county is predominantly African American, so of course the President tried to make the case for incorrect verification,
Do you agree that every district should do the same thing, including the districts that voted for the lame duck President?
Insults
Demented assisted living asshole?
I'm not demented. In fact that my medical recovery has enhanced my memories.
Near death experiences are difficult but I'm fine
Scott he threatened the Secretary of State with a violation of the law, He tried to procure a fraudulent vote count by stating that he needs exactly 11,780 votes.
What threat did he make Roger?
Please go through the transcripts and provide the threat.
Trump and his team of lawyers held a phone call with the SOS and representatives offering their concern over election issues (that are very well documented and free for anyone to see).
There has not (contrary to popular belief) been any order of any sort of validation to the bulk of the complaints. Most all have been denied at the court level (not on merit) but mainly on procedural grounds, lack of standing, or that there was not enough time for the courts to step in.
In fact the phone call ended with what Roger?
An agreement between the two parties that legal representatives from both sides would get together to decide what sort of compromises that they can make and to share what they can in terms of information and data.
The Trump team even stated on the call that if the SOS office could in fact provide them with evidence that what they say is untrue, that would be sufficient (but they want to see the evidence, not just a statement that it exists).
Neither you or I know whether the allegations are entirely true or entirely false. We can be pretty damned sure that there was double voting, that some signatures will not match, and that the sort of fraud that literally exists in every election existed. What we do not know is the extent. Some say it was in the tens of thousands. The Trump team has specifically identified four areas that make up 24,000 votes that they would like the SOS to review.
If that review shows that the President and his team is correct and that there were 24,000 fraudulent votes cast? Then what? Why would we not want to know that? If it doesn't show that, then guess what... you can call the President and his team crazy.
But if you not only insist that such a challenge or such a request is not credible... but actually demand that it is "criminal" it really, really, really, really, really looks like you don't want to know the truth and you believe that they have something to hide.
Scott,
So did you miss the part of the phone call where the Secretary of State admits that they stated that they "planned on" verifying the signatures (for the first time) in Fulton county or any other counties , but for some reason hasn't started yet?
Scott, seriously there is no credible evidence of fraud.
The real problem is that you and many other Republicans, want to discredit our election system. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have given their lives for the freedoms granted by God and the founding fathers.

What percentage of Fulton County is black?
44.3%
The racial makeup of the county was 46.4% white, 44.3% black or African American, 6.9% Asian, 0.2% American Indian, 3.4% from other races, and 2.2% from two or more races.
The national average is about 30%
The Made-Up Conspiracy
12:19 pm
Jonathan Rauch:
“Above all, the Republicans’ challenge is part of an information-warfare campaign. They are using a classic propaganda tactic that might be called ‘conspiracy bootstrapping.’
"First, you introduce a false idea, spreading it by every available means.
Then, once people are talking about it, and some believe it,
you cite its prevalence as evidence that it might be true—
an epistemic sleight-of-hand by which propaganda validates itself.”
Goebbels would be SO proud.
Lines Are Drawn for a Republican Civil War
12:30 pm
Gerald Seib sees this plausible scenario in two years:
“A Republican senator or House member, one party leaders are eager to see retain his or her seat, will be challenged in a primary by a disciple of President Trump.
"The incumbent, after being attacked as a member of a disparaged party establishment, will still win the primary.
"But that outcome will be challenged by Republican rebels, who, taking a cue from what is happening right now, will charge that the election was ‘rigged’ by the establishment, and go to court to try to overturn it.
“Such are the forces being unleashed this week within the GOP, where the prospect of a virtual civil war suddenly feels real.”
Scott Fulton county is predominantly African American, so of course the President tried to make the case for incorrect verification,
Fulton county election counters were caught red handed lying about counting without election watchers... and caught red handed putting the same ballots through the machine multiple times.
This was on surveillance video and cannot be disputed (although your WaPo and Polifact fact checkers have likely tried).
Fulton county also had one of those "statistical anomalies" where Joe Biden received a much higher percentage of turnout increase over other counties in the Atlanta area. By much higher we are talking nearly 25,000 more than you would statistically expect him to get (if Fulton behaved like every other county in the state or even within that same Atlanta area).
But if you want to verify "every signature" in the state, I am quite certain that the Trump campaign would not balk at that.
On Wednesday, the electoral college votes will be opened by the Vice President Pence and he will announce the results are that Biden and Kamala Harris will be sworn in on January 20th .
Some Republicans, not inducing Mitch McConnell will dispute the results.
We may not see the final results until Thursday morning. Because there are not enough traitors will be able to overturn the election.
He’s also thinking only Atlanta is Fulton county, check out John’s Creek, Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, Sandy Springs
Scott, seriously there is no credible evidence of fraud.
Well I guess we will have to agree to disagree about that.
Especially considering how many people have already been arrested, charged, and even convicted of election fraud in 2020, many of them involving scams with mail in ballots (involving hundreds or in some cases thousands of ballots).
But interestingly this brings up a point.
A while back, I had a post that actually pointed out all of the people who had been arrested and all of the proven examples of election fraud. You even agreed that it had happened (but that it wasn't enough to change the results of the election).
I stated that all we needed to do was give it a few weeks and liberals would be right back to demanding that there is no election fraud and that any allegations of such are "conspiracy theories".
I guess I was right about that one...
The Secretary of State of Georgia said that Fulton county election counters were caught red handed lying about counting without election watchers... not caught red handed putting the same ballots through the machine multiple times.
The doctored videos you posted were fraudulent.
He’s also thinking only Atlanta is Fulton county, check out John’s Creek, Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, Sandy Springs
Gwinnett is the other county that was accused of counting without poll watchers. All of the other counties you mention (along with Dekalb which is the heart of Atlanta) had similar percentages of increase over 2016.
But Gwinnett had nearly a 50% increase in Biden votes over Clinton. Statistically about 40K more than you might expect if it had behaved like most other counties.
The doctored videos you posted were fraudulent.
it was surveillance footage and it was not ever credibly accused of being "doctored" Roger. You demanded that the first day the video came out without any proof, just as you do today.
The ballot counters admitted to being there without election watchers, but claimed that one of the people counting was actually declared to be an "observer" so it was legal. They also claimed that it was a "misunderstanding" that the election watchers went home and that it was not intentional.
They also claimed to have only counted 5000 votes in nearly 3 hours, which would be the equivalent of about 8 ballots a minute per person. None of it passes the smell test.
The reality is the same "fact checkers" who demanded that claims that they counted without watchers was "false" (entirely based on the denial of the ballot counters) were quick to continue to declare any other allegations as also "false" (again based entirely on the explanation of the ballot counters - who has already been caught in one lie).
Scott, William Barr said Scott, seriously there is no sufficient evidence of fraud.
Were there some people who violated election laws, and they should be prosecuted
But once again, the attempt to discredit our election system is unpatriotic and dangerous to the American dream of the founding fathers!
I have read almost all of them
They created a flawed but the greatest government in the history of the world.
You are attacking them because you have Trumpism.
The Republican party, may not survive unless they move on.
There is no reason to continue this discussion, because nothing passe the smell test.
Scott, William Barr said Scott, seriously there is no sufficient evidence of fraud.
William Barr only stated that he had not found (to date) any election fraud large enough to have overturned the results of the election.
“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election," Barr told The Associated Press.
Why do you insist on lying Roger?
Why do all of your argument rely on lies?
I misquoted but it doesn't matter
"To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,"
The lame duck President went ballistic
He got Atlanta demographics but 400,000 Fulton county residents aren’t in Atlanta
There is no reason to continue this discussion.
Did you run out of blatant lies?
President demanded SOS find 11,000 Trump votes - LIE
President threated SOS - LIE
Georgia verified mail in ballots three times - LIE
Surveillance video was doctored - LIE
No evidence of fraud - LIE
Barr claimed no evidence of fraud - LIE
You probably got the percentage of black voters in Fulton county correct...
Because when all else fails, throw out the racism card!
Typical liberal... lie, lie, lie, you're a racist, lie, lie, lie, you're a racist, lie, lie...
I misquoted but it doesn't matter
It does matter because you stated Barr said there was "no evidence of fraud" when that is 100% not true. He was only referring to whether they had found fraud "to date" on a scale that would have changed the outcome.
A lie is a lie is a lie is a lie is a lie.
“All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have."

as usual.
LOL.
Cooooo cooooo
“So what are we going to do here, folks?” Mr. Trump said at one point. “I only need 11,000 votes. Fellas, I need 11,000 votes.”
He needed 11,780.
Cooooooooooo cooooooooo
Actually full quote:
But you have to go back to check from past years with respect to signatures. And if you check with Fulton County, you'll have hundreds of thousands because they dumped ballots into Fulton County and the other county next to it. So what are we going to do here folks? I only need 11,000 votes. Fellas, I need 11,000 votes. Give me a break.
Boy... that full quote certainly looks like Trump is talking about fraudulent votes regarding Fulton county?
Of course in Roger's mind, Trump is asking for votes to be added to his vote total.
Not because it says so in the transcript or because Trump actually asked for votes to be added... but because that is what the media "told" Roger and Roger never looks at things himself. He always listens to the media.
Like a good little media ass licker. Lick, lick, Lick! How that that media ass taste Roger?
Of course in Roger's mind
LOL. stop right there.
House Dems ask FBI to open criminal probe into Trump's call with Raffensperger
Two House Democrats are asking FBI Director Christopher Wray to open a criminal probe into Trump after a phone call revealed him pleading with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" enough votes to overturn his loss in the state's presidential election.
"As Members of Congress and former prosecutors, we believe Donald Trump engaged in solicitation of, or conspiracy to commit, a number of election crimes," Reps. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., and Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., wrote in a letter to Wray on Monday. "We ask you to open an immediate criminal investigation into the president."
Wait until inauguration day!

What percentage of Fulton County is black?
44.3%
The racial makeup of the county was 46.4% white, 44.3% black or African American, 6.9% Asian, 0.2% American Indian, 3.4% from other races, and 2.2% from two or more races.
The national average is about 30%

PHOENIX (AP) — A 32-year-old Wickenburg mother is accused of assaulting her children and stepchildren for not wearing masks after they tested positive for COVID-19.
Court charging documents obtained Thursday show Sarah Michelle Boone is facing three counts of child abuse, three counts of assault as well as disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Police were called to Boone’s home Saturday night. Officers were told that Boone had hit one child in the face, kicked a second one while he was on the floor and picked a third child up by the neck. She allegedly did this in reaction to the children not wearing masks despite having the virus.
Boone left before police came but officers found her walking down the street, according to the documents. Officers say she ignored their command to stop and then fought them when they tried to arrest her. Officers ended up shocking her with a stun gun. She was then handcuffed.
In the documents, authorities said they encountered Boone before on three previous incidents of domestic violence. They also indicated that Boone is an alcoholic and was under the influence when she struck the children.

COTTON STATEMENT ON JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Caroline Tabler or James Arnold (202) 224-2353
January 3, 2021
Cotton Statement on Joint Session of Congress
Washington, D.C. — Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement on the joint session of Congress later this week:
“I share the concerns of many Arkansans about irregularities in the presidential election, especially in states that rushed through election-law changes to relax standards for voting-by-mail. I also share their disappointment with the election results. I therefore support a commission to study the last election and propose reforms to protect the integrity of our elections. And after Republicans win in Georgia, the Senate should also hold more hearings on these matters. All Americans deserve to have confidence in the elections that undergird our free government.
Nevertheless, the Founders entrusted our elections chiefly to the states—not Congress. They entrusted the election of our president to the people, acting through the Electoral College—not Congress. And they entrusted the adjudication of election disputes to the courts—not Congress. Under the Constitution and federal law, Congress’s power is limited to counting electoral votes submitted by the states.
If Congress purported to overturn the results of the Electoral College, it would not only exceed that power, but also establish unwise precedents. First, Congress would take away the power to choose the president from the people, which would essentially end presidential elections and place that power in the hands of whichever party controls Congress. Second, Congress would imperil the Electoral College, which gives small states like Arkansas a voice in presidential elections. Democrats could achieve their longstanding goal of eliminating the Electoral College in effect by refusing to count electoral votes in the future for a Republican president-elect. Third, Congress would take another big step toward federalizing election law, another longstanding Democratic priority that Republicans have consistently opposed.
Thus, I will not oppose the counting of certified electoral votes on January 6. I’m grateful for what the president accomplished over the past four years, which is why I campaigned vigorously for his reelection. But objecting to certified electoral votes won’t give him a second term—it will only embolden those Democrats who want to erode further our system of constitutional government.”
Cotton Statement on Joint Session of Congress
this was known first thing this morning alky.
your point???
Georgia
Black or African American alone, percent(a)
32.6%
“We are what we pretend to be,” Kurt Vonnegut wrote in the opening of his 1962 novel, Mother Night, “and so we must be careful what we pretend to be.” Republicans in Congress are pretending to be seditionists—and so they have become, in fact, seditionists.
Forget all the whispered denials and the off-the-record expressions of concern in private; ignore the knowing smirks on camera from GOP officials who are desperately trying to indicate that they’re in on the joke. Brush aside the caviling of the anti-anti-Trump writers who would rather talk about that time in 2017 when some Democrats objected to the Electoral College vote (and were gaveled down by Joe Biden himself).
This is sedition, plain and simple. No amount of playacting and rationalizing can change the fact that the majority of the Republican Party and its apologists are advocating for the overthrow of an American election and the continued rule of a sociopathic autocrat.
This is not some handful of firebrands making a stand for the television cameras. In 2005, one Democrat in the House and one in the Senate filed an objection to counting Ohio’s electoral votes, while insisting that they were not contesting the outcome of the presidential election itself. In 2017, a handful of Democratic members of the House objected to the electoral count. Because they lacked support in the Senate, then–Vice President Biden ruled the representatives out of order and declared, “It is over.” In both cases, the Democratic candidate had already conceded.

Republicans are Federalist. The President is destroying it.
If Congress purported to overturn the results of the Electoral College, it would not only exceed that power, but also establish unwise precedents. First, Congress would take away the power to choose the president from the people, which would essentially end presidential elections and place that power in the hands of whichever party controls Congress. Second, Congress would imperil the Electoral College, which gives small states.
You could give California veto power!

Good Roger...
Now show us where he asks any votes to be "added" to his total.
(not where he talks about how many fraudulent votes need to be exposed).
And show us where he threatens the SOS.
Otherwise... just don't do so and admit you are a liar!
You and the lame duck President believe the QAnon conspiracy theory about the voting machines from Dominion Voting Systems being manipulated to elect Biden and Kamala Harris the "whore" .
And rog has his ass handed to him and runs to cray cray
QAnon shit, eh alky?
(Sep. 1, 2016) — On Friday, August 26th, during a meeting at the Illinois State Board of Elections, the Vice President of Engineering for Dominion Voting, Dr. Eric Coomer*, was asked if it was possible to bypass election systems software and go directly to the data tables that manage systems running elections in Illinois. His response was, “Yes, if they have access.”
Bypassing the election systems software means whoever has access can potentially manipulate the vote without many risks of detection. So the question needs to be asked, who has access to these data tables?
We asked Dr. Coomer that question. Dr. Coomer replied, ‘Vendors, election officials, and others who need to be granted access.’

. “You know what they did and you’re not reporting it,” Trump said. “You know, that’s a criminal offence. And you know, you can’t let that happen. That’s a big risk to you and to Ryan [Germany], your lawyer. That’s a big risk.”
Just a couple months ago the FBI arrested a dozen armed nutjobs threatened to kidnap the Governor of Michigan and executed her for treason.
The President was attempting to force them to break the law!
And implied violence against them and their families.
He's jealous of Vladimir Putin.
Trump is not very bright, he's dumber than kputz.

Channel 2 investigative reporter Justin Gray spent the day with Georgia election officials, going through the video frame-by-frame to show everyone what really happened.
[SPECIAL SECTION: Election 2020]
Gray looked not at just the short clip the Trump campaign shared, but the critical hours before and after that clip as well.
State election investigators have already spent hours analyzing the video showing what Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said was suitcases being pulled from under a table.
They were, in fact, official, sealed ballot containers.
“We can show exactly when they were placed in there,” lead investigator Frances Watson said.
Watson said they weren’t mystery ballots that came from a mystery location.
Video taken hours before shows the table being brought into the room at 8:22 a.m. Nothing was underneath the table then.
At 10 p.m., with the room full of people, including official monitors and the media, video shows ballots that had already been opened but not counted placed in the boxes, sealed up and stored under the table.
The reason? Employees thought they were done for the night.
“They were closing things up and getting ready to leave,” Watson said.
RELATED STORIES:
Secretary of State’s office launches new investigations into election wrongdoingsSecretary of state official calls out President Trump, leaders for spreading rumors, endangering livesPresident Trump’s attorneys ask Georgia legislature to overturn election, select own electors
Here’s where the confusion comes in:
Media and observers left as employees packed up. But Fulton’s election director called a supervisor at State Farm a few minutes later, telling them to keep counting after the Secretary of State’s office called and said they shouldn’t stop counting for the night so early.
After that call, employees pulled the containers of ballots back out and went back to work.
“No magically-appearing ballots,” Gabriel Sterling with the Secretary of State’s office said. “These were ballots that were processed in front of the monitors, processed in front of the monitors and placed there in front of the monitors.”
So what about the time gap between when the media and observers left and then the observers returned about an hour later? Employees scanned ballots.
“These are just typical everyday election workers are just doing their jobs,” Sterling said. “This is not some Ocean’s Eleven-level scheme being put together in the middle of the night.”
There was about an hour that workers scanned ballots before a state monitor arrived, but video shows those moments. The monitor then observed counting until they stopped for the night. The lead election investigator has looked at all that video and said that she saw no evidence of any wrongdoing.

The Democrats are going to win the majority in the Senate, thanks to the lame duck President.
DALTON, Ga. — President Trump used a campaign rally on the eve of two critical Senate runoffs in Georgia to once again vent his debunked grievances about the outcome of November’s presidential election, as he continued his assault on the peaceful transfer of power.
In an appearance that was supposed to bolster the fortunes of the two Republican candidates — Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler — Mr. Trump instead turned the rally into a rambling lecture filled with conspiracy theories, rumors, unproven assertions and personal attacks on Democrats, the news media and Georgia’s Republican officials.
“There’s no way we lost Georgia,” Mr. Trump said just after taking the stage. “I’ve had two elections. I’ve won both of them. It’s amazing.”
Moments later, after briefly mentioning the two Republican senators, he shifted back to his own, losing election: “They’re not going to take this White House. We’re going to fight like hell, I’ll tell you right now.”
The performance, which he foreshadowed on Twitter earlier in the day, underscored the president’s attempts to find a way to reverse his loss to President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr., even at the risk of alienating Republican voters in Tuesday’s Senate contest, which observers in both parties expect to be close. If Democrats win both runoffs, they will take control of the Senate.
With Mr. Biden’s inauguration 16 days away, Mr. Trump and his allies have turned their attention to Wednesday’s joint session of Congress, where scores of Republicans in the House and Senate say they will object to Mr. Biden’s victory being certified in what is usually a largely ceremonial event. Their effort is certain to fail, given Democratic control of the House, and it has split the Republican Party.
“If you don’t show up, the radical Democrats will win,” he said to a large, cheering crowd at an airport hanger, with Marine One, the president’s helicopter, in the background.
But he quickly returned to complaining about his own political fate.
“Those of you that know how badly screwed we got, I want to be clear that we can’t let that happen again,” Mr. Trump said. “We can’t let that happen again. We’re going to come back, and I really believe we’re going to take what they did to us on Nov. 3. We’re going to take it back.”
Four year ago, we were warned.
Beyond Hitler and Mussolini, fascism can be hard to define. Since World War II, only fringe figures have overtly identified themselves that way. In modern political discourse, the word is used as an epithet. And even Hitler and Mussolini were elastic in their political philosophies as they came to power; Mussolini started out as a leftist.
Mr. Paxton, the fascism scholar, said he saw similarities and differences in Mr. Trump. His message about an America in decline and his us-against-them pronouncements about immigrants and outsiders echo Europe in the 1930s, Mr. Paxton said. On the other hand, he said, Mr. Trump has hardly created uniformed, violent youth groups. Moreover, fascists believe in strong state control, not get-government-off-your-back individualism and deregulation.
Others caution against comparisons. “I read Kagan’s piece, of course,” said Volker Perthes, the director of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, in Berlin. “All the phenomena he describes are raising concerns, but I would still not call Trump or his campaign fascist. Maybe with German and European history in mind, we are a bit more cautious than others in using the label ‘fascism.’”
Mr. Perthes said real fascism requires two more elements — an outright rejection of democracy and a harsher definition of order. Jobbik, the ultraright party in Hungary, would fall into this category, he said, but Norbert Hofer, the far-right candidate who narrowly lost the Austrian presidential vote, and Mr. Trump would not.
Charles Grant, the director of the Center for European Reform, in London, distinguished between far-right nationalist parties like Marine Le Pen’s National Front in France and actual fascism.
“Historically, it means the demonization of minorities within a society to the extent that they feel insecure,” he said. “It means encouraging the use of violence against critics. It means a bellicose foreign policy that may lead to war, to excite a nationalist feeling. It takes xenophobia to extremes. And it is contemptuous of a rules-based liberal order.”
The debate about terminology may ignore the seriousness of the conditions that gave rise to Mr. Trump and his European counterparts. The New York real estate developer has tapped into a deep discontent in a country where many feel left behind while Wall Street banks get bailouts, newcomers take jobs, terrorists threaten innocents and China rises economically at America’s expense.
“It seems to me in developed and semideveloped countries there is emerging a new kind of politics for which maybe the best taxonomic category would be right-wing populist nationalism,” said Stanley Payne, a professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “We are seeing a new kind of phenomenon which is different from what you had” in the 20th century.
Roger Eatwell, a professor at the University of Bath, in England, calls it “illiberal democracy,” a form of government that keeps the trappings of democracy without the reality.
“Elections are seen as important to legitimizing regimes,” he said, but instead of imposing one-party rule, as in the past, today’s authoritarians “use a variety of devices to control and/or manipulate the media, intimidate opponents” and so on.
Either way, it has found pockets of support on both sides of the Atlantic. Lilia Shevtsova, a political analyst in Moscow, said neo-fascism in liberal societies in the West stems from crisis or dysfunction while in illiberal countries like Russia and Turkey it reflects an attempt to fill the void left by the failure of Western notions to catch on.
The problem, she added, is that “the Western political leadership at the moment is too weak to fight the tide.”
Rise of Donald Trump Tracks Growing Debate Over Global Fascism https://nyti.ms/25sxY4q
Toss in the fact that the GOP has always led the charge about states rights....now you have half the house and a third of the senate promoting the states have no clue what they are doing and that their right to elect the president should be taken away!!!!!1 Classic sedition all the slurpers here now accept to remain in power!!!!!
There is no question in my mind that trump should be investigated and charged as applicable by law......The GOP enablers should also be held accountable as abetting the law breaker!!!!!
According to Title 52, Section 20511 of the United States Code, anyone who “knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a state of a fair and impartially conducted election process” for federal office can be punished by up to five years in prison.
Donald Trump certainly seems to have violated this law. He is on tape alternately cajoling and threatening Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to “find 11,780 votes,” enough to give him a winning margin in a state that he lost. He may have also broken federal conspiracy law and Georgia election law.
“This is probably the most serious political crime I’ve ever heard of,” Michael Bromwich, a former inspector general for the Department of Justice, told me. “And yet there is the high likelihood that there will be no accountability for it.”
At this point, demanding such accountability feels like smashing one’s head into a brick wall, but our democracy might not be able to stagger along much longer without it. Republicans already often treat victories by Democrats as illegitimate. Their justification for impeaching Bill Clinton was flimsy at the time and looks even more ludicrous in light of their defenses of Trump. Trump’s political career was built on the racist lie that Barack Obama was a foreigner ineligible for the presidency.
