Even after Trump is gone, the press must challenge Republicans who supported his attempt to steal the election. Defending democracy is part of a journalist’s job In   a lawsuit   filed last week, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton claimed that last month's elections in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia “suffered from significant and unconstitutional irregularities.” The suit asked the Supreme Court to allow the Republican-controlled legislatures in those states to appoint delegates of their own choosing to the Electoral College. As those legislatures would almost certainly appoint pro-Trump electors, a win for Paxton would’ve effectively flipped four states won by President-elect Joe Biden to President Donald Trump, invalidating Biden’s win and handing the president a second term. Legal experts eviscerated the suit, calling it “ frivolous ,” “ anti-American ,” and “ procedurally defective .” But other Republicans couldn’t resist joining. In total,  126 Republi...

  "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 corrupti...

 

  Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel speaks during a news conference on Nov. 9 in D.C. (Alex Brandon/AP) Politico chief political correspondent Tim Alberta packed a lot into his sizzling Nov. 24 feature, “ The Inside Story of Michigan’s Fake Voter Fraud Scandal .” There’s a tight narration of the Trump campaign’s destructive effort to undo the Michigan vote, strong writing about the central characters in this drama and bluntness about the bad faith behind all the maneuvers. “All of this was a lie,” writes Alberta in reference to President Trump’s allegations of voter fraud in Detroit. “Republicans here — from Ronna Romney McDaniel to Laura Cox to federal and local lawmakers — knew it was a lie. But they didn’t lift a finger in protest as the president disparaged Michigan and subverted America’s democratic norms. Why?” The straight forward answer to the WHY is that the national republican party is the party of trump. So it stands to reason the party is just as...

  Washington (CNN) -  Georgia's Republican lieutenant governor on Tuesday joined a growing list of GOP officials in the state who are publicly rejecting President Donald Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud, saying the misinformation spread by the President and his allies is "alarming" and could jeopardize the party in upcoming  Senate runoff elections . We actually are pulling hard for that very thing to happen. Let the democrat challengers defeat both and give President Elect Biden a governing majority. Then he really can begin to roll back the trump disaster. Asked by CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day" about a falsehood spread by Trump that election officials in Georgia were "making deals," Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan flatly replied, "certainly not." "What is alarming is the amount of misinformation that continues to flow. It's alarming to me," Duncan continued. "It's certainly disheartening to watch folks willi...

Continuing the march to discredit what is NOW a party of personality and authoritarian cultism. The present GOP under trump's destructive ant democratic Trumpism.   The Los Angeles Times -  The Republican Party’s refusal to   write a platform for 2020   was a watershed moment. Instead of issuing a traditional document, GOP leaders put out a memo essentially saying that their only goal was Donald Trump’s reelection. That move revealed the current Republican Party to be completely untethered from the one that governed during the Reagan and Bush administrations. The post-election drama shows this break even more starkly. Trump has refused to concede the race, falsely claiming the election is rife with fraud. Republicans in Congress, including  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , and other GOP officeholders have overwhelmingly gone along with this, refusing to acknowledge President-elect Joe Biden’s clear victory and supporting Trump’s baseless legal challeng...

 What follows is perhaps one of th best articles I've seen yet explaining the cancer of Trumpism and its malignant architect, donald j. trump. The Republican Party Is Dead. It’s the Trump Cult Now The president may well be a liability for Republicans, but the GOP belongs to him now, and no one can change that. Donald Trump is the past, present, and future of the Republican Party. And that is because the GOP is no longer a traditional political party designed to win elections so that it can enact a policy agenda. It is a personality cult built around grievance. To understand its true nature, you must first understand how weak Trump was as an electoral force. It is devilishly hard to unseat an elected president. Trump is only the third elected president to be defeated since Hoover. His overperformance of polling expectations has obscured how far he ran behind statewide Republican candidates across the map: Trump ran  7 points behind  Susan Collins in Maine,  4 points b...

  There is nothing that need be added to this video. It IS spot on!

  Michele Bachmann: God’s “Iron Rod” Must “Smash the Delusion” That Joe Biden Won Is there there is doubt that these delusional wingnuts ought to be in intense psychological counselling? One has to question how these folks are even able to function in their daily lives with those little voices in their heads constantly talking to them. In the fevered minds of these folks up is down, down is up, truth is a lie, and falsehoods are gospel. Truly these Americans really struggle with simple cognition. They are the folks that will be responsible for the destruction of our democratic republic if it ever happens.  Folks like MB are every bit as radicalized as the Muslims they choose to hate. And they are EVERY bit as dangerous. Make no mistake about it. The reality is these people would be perfectly hppy living in a tyrannical theocracy. Which is why the pray for god to intervene in a free, fair, and legitimate democratic election to install trunp as Dictator of the USA. LOL...
