Yep. If people acted in concert for the greater good, we’d be in a much better place.

Georgia speaker is moving to amend the state constitution to make the Secretary of State a position appointed by the legislature. Republicans fear nothing more than democracy.

Having been to nude beaches, the people you want to be nude rarely are and the people you'd like to stay clothed generally don't.

For those more in the know, is there a point when this gets concerning?

I think we're well past the point of this being concerning. We have a majority of the GOP declaring that SCOTUS should overturn the election because they don't like the outcome and feel the GOP-appointed justices owe them. AT this point it's hard to know whether this is an ending or the beginning of a more anti-democratic future.

yeah. Long term I agree it is already concerning. I guess I should have been more specific. In the short term are there any actual worries they could overturn the election, or delay the electoral college?
I realize the concept of an armed civil war is so alien, but is we were watching this happen in another country we would think there is no way their democracy would survive. |

There's a lot of dry tinder on the ground and I worry a lot about what happens if there's a spark. A shooter taking out an elector next week could push things into a violent phase pretty quickly.

Alito and Thomas said the Court was required to hear the case, but that they would not grant any injunction, so it sounds like 7-2 on whether to bother hearing the case, 9-0 if they had heard the case.

Well, he got a vaccine approved before the election. It’ll be interesting to see if it’s enough to sway enough electors when they meet on Monday.

Good thing California's Calexit plan/attempt at secession has failed (so far). Otherwise TX would have a template to go by.

In case anyone was wondering if being smacked down by the highest court in the land would quiet him as he realizes it is over...
No.

So, back to the original poll...how DOES this end? Continued tantrums, maybe another stupid legal maneuver or twenty, and a competing rally on 1/20?
Surely he won't have to be physically removed, if for no other reason than how weak that would make him look.

A lot of GOP Politicians said back in November that they would accept Biden as President-Elect "When the Electoral College voted" or "After the Supreme Court ruled on any cases."
I am sure that seemed so far away when they said it. Surely, the problem will have resolved itself by then. Sort of like getting a two-week extension on a term paper. "I'll have lots of time to write the paper now!" Well, the paper's due on Monday, guys. How's that going for you? Last edited by albionmoonlight : 12-12-2020 at 09:18 AM. |

Looks like #3 to me. But the "give up" should be "give up but with continued bitching".
