Yeah I see that now.

2020-12-24 05:48:08 UTC  

That's what everyone is getting wrapped around the axle about. It's about arguing that the certifications are bullshit, not that they don't exist

2020-12-24 05:48:20 UTC  

As they are.

2020-12-24 05:48:24 UTC  

Right

2020-12-24 05:48:52 UTC  

So, the ball is in Pence's court now. It's up to him at this point.

2020-12-24 05:49:06 UTC  

If Trump doesn't seem rattled by it, nobody else should.

2020-12-24 05:49:21 UTC  

It's really up to members of the GOP to be courageous enough to stand up and object

2020-12-24 05:49:35 UTC  

It only takes one house member and one senate member to contest electors.

2020-12-24 05:49:43 UTC  

Yes

2020-12-24 05:49:51 UTC  

But then they have to debate it

2020-12-24 05:50:00 UTC  

We have enough to make it a problem - we just need turtle shell McConnell to have balls.

2020-12-24 05:50:07 UTC  

But it takes a majority of both houses to overturn a contested vote

2020-12-24 05:50:11 UTC  

Indeed.

2020-12-24 05:50:35 UTC  

I've pretty much accepted that we probably lost

2020-12-24 05:50:47 UTC  

Time to prep more for the war

2020-12-24 05:51:03 UTC  

But it's not about turning over a contested vote - state legislatures are still going through their processes.

2020-12-24 05:51:19 UTC  

The contingent election isn't what Rudy was even going for.

2020-12-24 05:51:24 UTC  

We are at the same place as 2 weeks ago

2020-12-24 05:52:40 UTC  

The idea behind it is to force enough gridlock to bring it to a state by state vote.

2020-12-24 05:52:54 UTC  

Because then the Dems majority in the House is meaningless

2020-12-24 05:53:02 UTC  

Pence himself can force each legislature into special sessions - this is before each chamber gets involved.

2020-12-24 05:53:30 UTC  

As Trump's legal team has been doing since the election.

2020-12-24 05:53:55 UTC  

No he can't. He cannot force a state legislature to have a special session. That would be into actual dictator territory

2020-12-24 05:54:21 UTC  

If that was possible, it would have probably been already done

2020-12-24 05:54:57 UTC  

Unless the split electors meme wasn't real, then I believe you.

2020-12-24 05:55:47 UTC  

The split Electors is significant because it more or less sets the stage for some gridlock on the 6th

2020-12-24 05:56:05 UTC  

It's more the function over the form

2020-12-24 05:57:14 UTC  

We'll see how it goes until then.

2020-12-24 05:58:07 UTC  

If we get a win and some states manage to officially decertify their results, then it becomes easier

2020-12-24 05:58:22 UTC  

What twists my ass is when low-energy people get tired of the fight two months in.

I've been fighting with the VA to cover my neuropathy for 10 years now.

2020-12-24 05:58:44 UTC  

I aint tired, just concerned

2020-12-24 05:58:59 UTC  

You know what I'm talking about: tons of doomers.

2020-12-24 05:59:04 UTC  

We are not in a good spot. That's for sure. But it was never going to be easy

2020-12-24 05:59:18 UTC  

They got excited and then had a fucking melt down when the Texas case got pushed back to the lower court.

2020-12-24 05:59:42 UTC  

Exactly lmao

2020-12-24 05:59:48 UTC  

That's why Ive been trying to tell people the truth about this Pence card thing. To slap some black pills out of the mouth

2020-12-24 05:59:51 UTC  

that was depressingly funny

2020-12-24 06:00:08 UTC  

We're not in a good spot as a country, but on the Trump train I think we're fine.

2020-12-24 06:00:29 UTC  

We are not on as solid ground as we should be

2020-12-24 06:00:40 UTC  

We weren't going to be anyway.

2020-12-24 06:00:44 UTC  

Honestly if we do lose I hope we seceded
