She really scares me

So disingenuous, but I can see more people falling for her shtick than even fell for her dad’s con job.....

Do you wonder

What crazy shit Trump has up his sleeves this last month, you know he is going to do some outrageous stuff...trying to overturn the election and the pardons are just the start.

Remember Franken/Coleman in Minnesota 2008

If Warnock and Ossoff win I can see that same scenario playing out and the Republicans dragging it out, especially how the Republicans have contested the presidential election. What sucks about this scenario is that Purdue wouldn’t be in the senate until the dispute is over as his term expires on January 3, BUT Lloefler would be in the seat and be able to conduct senate business until the dispute is resolved because she is filling Isakson’s term until the special election winner is declared.

This is the difference between Dems and Reps..Republicans will use every trick to stall while Democrats give up...I am thinking about Bill Nelson in Florida and how Rick Scott essentially declared himself the winner and showed up in Washington and then Nelson conceded....if Nelson was as petty as Republicans I think he could have delayed Rick Scott’s appointment by at least as long as Coleman did with Franken

Trump retweeted this

https://twitter.com/LLinWood/status/1338715369566048256?s=20


Democrats need to use this to their advantage, They need to hammer Purdue and Loeffler with a simple question, ‘Do you agree with Donald Trump that Kemp and Raffensberger should be jailed?’ This will get the MSM to ask the same question and talk about the tweet. It’s stupid, but this is where Republicans have always been better than Democrats, Taking up something as silly as this and tying the whole party to it.

This democracy is really fragile

If it wasn’t for
- 1 Republican Michigan state canvasser (while the other tried to throw out the vote)
- 1 Republican Wisconsin Supreme Court justice (while 3 others tried to throw out the vote)
- a Wisconsin Supreme Court election in April, that replaced a conservative hack with a liberal
- 3 Trump SCOTUS picks
- 2 Republican Governors
- 1 Republican Secretary of State
- 4 federal judges appointed by Trump
- 2018 election that got us governors, attorney generals, and Secretaries of State in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania

This is how close trump came to cheating and overturning the election....

Republicans keep on changing the goal post

- media doesn’t determine the winner, we have to wait until the states certify
- certification means nothing, we have to wait until the electoral college votes and meets on Dec 14
- the electoral college vote doesn’t make it official we have to wait until Jan 6 when the congress certifies
