So if according to you, efforts which are doomed from the start are harmless stunts, why doesn’t that qualify as such?
answer - you only apply that logic to democrats.

So in Jim’s world the attempt only matters if it works. How do you argue with that logic?
So the Pennsylvanian and a Arizona legislature want to challenge and dismiss votes for Biden On the same ballot many were re elected or won .. again MAGA logic at its finest
But Jim’s or Scott don’t seemed to be bothered by the failure of Trump supporters and his administration to participate in the hearing refusing lawfully subpoena. Claiming privilege they don’t have, Hoping and praying that gop takes over the house and make it all go away ..
Why do you support them in this obstruction
if you agree with them that it was just a few yahoos as they have suggested
Seems like a. Lot of effort to keep a lid on 3 days in the Oval Office. Remember Trump was working and Americans have the right. To see that work

as always, you got it 100% wrong. i dont think outcome matters at all, I think intent is what matters.
SPENCE, not me, said that if it doesn’t ultimately succeed, it’s no big deal.
How did you miss that? Can’t you read at all? seriously, did you read anything i said?
If you figure out what I’m saying first before you respond, you’ll humiliate yourself a lot less often.
Spence said that because why the democrats did had no chance of succeeding, therefore it was just a harmless stunt.
But he won’t apply that same logic to what the republicans did.

And yet the intent of the 7 electors was not to overthrow the election but the intent of the 227 electors this past election cycle was clearly to prevent the confirmation of the person who was elected by the people from being sworn in as Pres.
Hmmm, I wander what insult you would have added to the end of that statement if it was you posting that?

the house republicans only challenged AZ and PA. even if they succeeded, that would not switch enough electoral votes for biden to have won.
so since spence says efforts that are doomed to failure are harmless stunts, by what logic was that not a harmless stunt?

I wonder what the intent of the the Eastman memo was.
John C. Eastman tried to convince then-Vice President Mike Pence that he could overturn the election results on January 6, 2021 (when Congress counted the Electoral College votes) by throwing out electors from seven states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C.) because they allegedly had competing electors although, in fact, no state had actually put forward an alternate slate of electors. Under Eastman's scheme, Pence would have declared Trump the winner with more Electoral College votes after the seven states were thrown out, at 232 votes to 222.

His intent was to overturn the results of a free election, and whoever Eastman is, he should be held accountable for that.
fair enough?
Paul, i’ve shown here a million times that i have exactly zero problem calling out republicans when they behave badly, which happens all the time.
i also don’t want trump to run again. too sleazy.
i think you’re all so used to
ignoring it when your own side misbehaves, that you assume everyone else ignores it. I dont.

Paul, i’ve shown here a million times that i have exactly zero problem calling out republicans when they behave badly, which happens all the time.But the eastman memo showed the Trump legal team was trying to overthrow the election and the vast majority of R congressman seemed to support it. over 60% of R refuse to believe Biden was fairly elected. Trying to overturn (or prevent the Pres. confirmation) a Presidential election is much more important to me than a disagreement about policy or taxes. It is the heart of our country. He wasn't just some guy writing a memo. It was shared amongst the highests R in the country - from Trump on down.
i also don’t want trump to run again. too sleazy.
i think you’re all so used to
ignoring it when your own side misbehaves, that you assume everyone else ignores it. I dont.I don't, I cringe when I see/hear some things.

How about the rest of the Trumplicans in the House and Senate who aided and abetted the Trump administration in their efforts to throw out the results of the election after they had exhausted all legal remedies because they didn't like the results.
You can listen to Peter Navarro explain just how the coup was supposed to work.
The Constitution only works if you respect it, otherwise it's just another piece of paper.

was any of this by this eastman fellow illegal?....surely if it was that Legal Tiger that now runs the justice department and thankfully is not on the supreme court, will be pursuing them with abandon....
otherwise, sounds like political maneuvering...
not like the democraps don't try every trick in the book at every opportunity...I could name a couple currently going on...

i said just up the page, that’s it’s not ok. but it’s similar to what the dems did.
so whatever you think about the gop trying to overturn an election because they’re sore losers, you should think the same about democrats who try to overturn an election because they’re sore losers.
i don’t know how to say it any simpler, but you have no grasp of what anyone is saying here. i sincerely hope
you’re just messing with me.
look at my post from 12:57 pm
today, where i said all of them acted like spoiled brats who were willing to undermine the constitution.
you claim, that means i’m ok with it. you can’t comprehend that “spoiled brats who want to undermine the constitution” is a criticism.
you have no ability to comprehend words. are you drunk?

lot's of insults from the party of love...be gentle though, the much hyped Jan 6th anniversary celebration and fundraising drive was a big flop, probably backfired and made more people angry with them than with trump which was the exact opposite of the intended effect...so they are probably a bit frustrated right now...

for Harris and Biden to equate 1/6 with Pearl Harbor and 9/11 is beyond preposterous. But when you have very little you can point to in terms of popular policy results, all you have left is to generate hatred against your opponents. Which is what they do in the media, 24/7.
Some group did a study of MSNBC and CNN, they still mention Trump more frequently than they mention Biden. That's staggering, a year later.
Still waiting for that cancer cure.

your the cancer its called denial just saying and the king of hatred and blowing trump at every Turn mentioning his lowest black unemployment .. but have the audacity to say very little you can point to in terms of popular policy thats funny you live in your own echo chamber .. its amazing but it explains and gives insight to those who Love Trump and are willing to vote from Him again .. insisting they also love america and its institutions
when will you understand pearl harbor was bad 9\11 were bad but you cry about the comparison .. but your only word on the incident is whats the big deal ??
However those examples they were not committed by fellow Americans led by the former POTUS aka Trump and other leaders in his sphere of influence with lies of a stole or rigged election ... which they still insist is what actually happened ..

so if people want to install someone other than the winner of the election, simply because they happen to despise the winner of the election, that’s not necessarily “overturning the election”?
I never, ever said Trump wasn't trying to overturn the election, obviously he was. Thankfully, he failed.
I can't fight that kind of logic so which is it because clearly you are the least upset about Trump's attempt to steal the election and event of Jan6th
Yet you said you would vote for him again
