The GOP Has Become The Party Of Lies, Corruption, and Authoritarianism...

 "Madness," Romney told reporters on Tuesday. "This is madness. We have a process. Recounts are appropriate. Going to the court is appropriate. Pursuing every legal avenue is appropriate. But trying to get electors not to do what the people voted to do is madness." - Senator Mitt Romney


Senator Romney is absolutely correct. Hands down. The pro trumpers at any cost rethuglicans who are continuing to search for nefarious paths to overturn the legitimate secure presidential election of 2020 are not true American patriots. Their allegiance to the party boss (donal j. trump) transcends  their allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the rule of law.

The unscrupulous and corrupt cons of the rethuglican party are willing, for purely personal and selfish interests, to work feverishly to deny the will of the American people. Their un-American activity should, and must be stopped dead in its tracks. Period. End of story. These charlatans of deceit and corruption do not deserve the offices they hold.

America and her democracy, its Constitution, and the rule of law are, always have been, and always will be more important than one man or women in a position of power and control. Those who refuse to understand and acknowledge these truths are not fit to serve the people of this nation and must be voted the hell back to private life. Period. End of story.

Enough of my rant, on to the article...


THE HILLSen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) dismissed a push from fellow Republicans in the House who are mulling the idea of challenging the Electoral College vote in an effort to keep President Trump in office another four years. 

"Madness," Romney told reporters on Tuesday. "This is madness. We have a process. Recounts are appropriate. Going to the court is appropriate. Pursuing every legal avenue is appropriate. But trying to get electors not to do what the people voted to do is madness." 

Last week, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said he planned to challenge the Electoral College vote when Congress meets to officials certify the election results after the first of the year.

“I'm doing this because in my judgment this is the worst election theft in the history of the United States. And if there was a way to determine the Electoral College outcome using only lawful votes cast by eligible American citizens, then Donald Trump won the Electoral College,” Brooks said. 

Romney said on Tuesday that he is confident any effort by House Republicans to overturn or invalidate state electors for the presidency would fail in the Senate.

 Since President-elect Joe Biden was projected the winner in November's election, Trump and his allies have alleged without evidence that widespread voter fraud led to a "rigged election" against him. 

Trump himself has reportedly pressured Republican election officials in at least one state, Georgia, to hold off on certifying election results, a request that ultimately went unheeded. 

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court blocked a Republican bid to overturn Biden's win in Pennsylvania.  

Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus also held a press conference late last week criticizing Attorney General William Barr for what they say is a failure on the part of the Justice Department to sufficiently investigate allegations of voter fraud that occurred in the election. 

"There is nothing more important for Attorney General Barr [and others in federal law enforcement] to eliminate false claims of fraud and verify the veracity of claims," Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said. "We are running out of clock. There is not much runway left to land the plane." 

Indeed we are running out of time and runway to safely land the national plane that has until donald j. trump flown high and preserved and protected our Constitution, the rule of law, and the very democracy we have enjoyed for 244 years. The question to be answered now is this. Will our sytem of government be around for our grandchilden and great grandchildren to appreciate and cherish?

Only time will tell. But bravo to the brave and honest republicans lie Senator Romney that have been willing to stand tall and firm for our democracy and the Constitution that governs it.
