  1. Ghislaine Maxwell. Prince Andrew may not go to jail but he is royally screwed.
  2. Legislation originates in the House, passed in the Senate and signed off by the President. The courts determine whether it is constitutional.
  3. So why have a congress at all, just put your dictator in power. That's what you really want.
  4. It does, by the executive and the courts, not mobs. The function of Congress is to provide legislation that moves the country forward, not engage in obstructionist culture wars that ensure nothing gets done.
  5. Actually, that is what congress is for. Bugs the shit out of you, doesn't it.
  6. It's just the upside down world you live in. Do you think the labour participation rate would be better under Trump and if so, how? While you guys have been spending all your time ranting about your conspiracy theories, Biden has actually been getting things through Congress.
  7. Actually Biden has had some big wins lately. Lowest unemployment rate in 50 years. Inflation rate declining. Passed: Gun control bill, PACT Act, Climate change bill, Infrastructure bill, CHIPS Act, record signups for Affordable Care Act. Took out Bin Laden's SIC and mastermind. Sleepy Joe has been having a good year.
  8. So when did Hillary try and get Biden to decertify the 2016 election and then sit by and do nothing while the mob tried to hunt down the VP and hang him?
  9. I'm cool with a system that lets voters decide who wins.
  10. So you are good with state legislatures overturning federal election results regardless of which party controls the state legislature..
  11. Bullshit. No one other than his cult took his fake electors seriously.
  12. No, it isn't part of the process, it was an attempted coup. I believe in a democratic system. I am not a part of a cult that believe in winning anyway possible, including by destroying an electoral system by overthrowing the results of an election. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/22/jan-6-probe-takeaways-trump-had-a-direct-role-in-plan-to-install-fake-electors.html
  13. Yup, don't get the result you want, keep picking new electors until you do. Democracy according to the Trump Cult.
  14. Really? How many stop the steal rallies? How many court cases? In what states did they try to appoint their own electors and overturn a result? How many state secretaries of state did she call asking them to "find" her enough votes to reverse the result in their state? If the Trump Cult can retroactively appoint puppet electors to overturn a result, what is to stop any other party from doing it in future elections if they control a state legislature but lose a vote in a federal election? If you guys actually believe in democracy, you are really playing with fire.
  15. Bullshit. There were recounts after recounts and court case after court case. The Trump Cult just decided they could name their own electors and overturn a democratic election. You idiots believing this shit are a real threat to democracy. You think that if someone loses an election all they have to do is make their own rules and overturn it.
  16. WTF are you talking about? They decided according to the outcome of the votes in their states. That's their job and why the Trump Cult wanted to get rid of them and put their own puppets in place to overturn the results.
  17. Why would I? They didn't do anything different than they did in 2020.
  18. null So you are good with Trump's minions appointing electors who will give them a victory regardless of the election result and firing those who follow the election result. https://people.com/politics/trump-backed-arizona-candidate-says-he-wont-concede-if-he-loses-on-tuesday/ https://www.newsmax.com/politics/kelli-ward-arizona-gop-donald-trump/2022/06/24/id/1076010/ https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-election/kari-lake-trump-backed-election-denier-wins-gop-primary-arizona-govern-rcna41317 But as she won, the election had to be totally legit. Democracy in the Trump age.
  19. No, you are full of shite. The elections authorities (including) Republican authorities, say he lost. The courts (including the Supreme Court) say he lost. He effing lost. Your alternate reality is getting very tiresome and pretty much validates exactly what I said.
  20. Only according to the Trump Cult. According to the Trump Cult, elections aren’t necessary because they never lose any.
