  1. The "fake electors" were selected and signed into obedience BEFORE the Dec 18 unhinged meeting. Trump sent out his call for things to be wild in the wee hours immediately after the unhinged meeting. When she submitted her resignation, Mark Meadows told White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin that they weren't going anywhere. Chuck Grassley claimed that Mike Pence would not be presiding over the gavel.

    "THEY" knew and were preparing all along! Here's MahaBlog:

    The epic, unhinged meeting at the White Mouse with Trump and the crazies and White House staff shrieking at each other for hours happened on December 18. It must have been impressed upon Trump that there would be no more court challenges of the election. So the Looney Tunes showed up to present alternative ideas, including using the military to seize voting machines. But at the end of the day, all the crazy ideas (that we know of) were shot down.

    The epic meeting from Crazy ended about midnight on December 19. And then, some time later in the night of December 19, probably pumped on adrenalin and Adderall, Trump tweeted for his supporters to come to Washington on January 6, the date Congress was to confirm who won the presidential election. This is, apparently, when the idea of a massive rally of Trump supporters who would menace Congress in some manner was hatched. Being able to encite his supporters into doing something menacing was the one superpower Trump had left.

    I also want to point out that the fake electors scheme was put into place before the meeting from Crazy, obviously, because the fake electors cast their fake votes on the same day the real electors met, December 14. So there was already a scheme in the works to hand the election back to Trump by fraudulent means.

    1. The “fake electors” scheme is the one most likely to result in criminal charges for $rump and his coterie of crazies. That’s the sense I get from the legal eagles on the MSNBC shows.

  2. “How few Polcats there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.”

    You people have no filter for common sense. Every day you pay more for goods and services. Every day you cling to any media that proclaims, it's not happening or it's not as bad as some say it is or someone else's fault. Inflation is worst in 40 years. Real wage growth is falling behind. Government policy is to blame!

    Biden/Democrat policy is hurting all classes of Americans. The most significant burden lands on the poor and middle class. The government lies to us every day, Republican/Democrat, it doesn't matter. 

    Now Transportation Secretary Alfred E Newman is proposing to limit the speed of trucks on the road. Does that help the driver shortage? Does that help the supply chain keep shelves stocked? Well no it doesn't. No common sense.

    It is no wonder that the majority of citizens know that we are moving in the wrong direction. Can I get an AMEN from those of you of faith or just a yes from the God deniers?

    1. Fixing this for you… Time for private enterprise to start paying better wages, and time for the government to raise the minimum wage:

      Real wage growth is falling behind. Government policy is to blame!

      1. "tell me *one* Biden/Democratic policy that has increased inflation"

        The failure to lift the Trump-imposed tariffs on cheap imports from China.

        Although this morning it was announced that they are still studying doing so.

          1. Trump actually created the problem with the tariffs, but Biden has failed to fix it during the 18 months he has been in office.

            In Biden's defense, they are studying taking measures to fix the problem.

    2. [m]ajority of citizens know that we are moving in the wrong direction.
       

      Damn tootin’, Pfruit. But it’s not for the reasons you think. The majority of us have little interest in the political framework the fascists wrapped in flags are promoting. 

      1. I was raised a devout Catholic, Spacy, but have been an agnostic since age 17.  True atheism to me demands more certainly than the feeble human brain is capable of.

        Of course, Jehovah, Baal and the other Godly fraudsters are absurd.  But Robin Wright, well, she’s a possibility…

        Einstein said he believed in “Spinoza’s god, who reveals himself in the order of the universe.”

         the problem is there ain’t no order in this crazy universe.

        Some things will forever be beyond certitude.

    3. So we supposed to just pray?  Yes to what a pipe dream? 

      Pandemic,  Russian aggression on west vis a vis Ukrainian War, Trumpism, AMERICAN TALIBAN GOP hamstringing even their own COMMON SENSICAL actors to attempt to topple our existing Constitution is cause that no amount of thoughts and prayers will correct. 

      Quit voting for GOP, or start voting for any candidate you can that counters that and we would have common sense leadership again. Don't machine gun the messenger. 

       

       

       

       

    4. Damn, that Joe Biden guy has got to be powerful. 

      USofA inflation through May is at 8.6% annual rate. 

      G7 combined is 7.5%. G20 combined is 8.8%.  OECD (31 nations & EU) combined is 9.6%.

      What caused the jump in USofA inflation? Reuters says: "The consumer price index increased 1.3% last month, the biggest monthly gain since September 2005, after advancing 1.0% in May. A 7.5% surge in energy prices accounted for nearly half of the increase in the CPI." 

       

      1. J'Biden is a an inflation wimp.
        Does he control oil prices like Vlad and Bone Saw? Nope.
        Does he control world grain and food oil prices similar to the warmonger Vlad? Nope.
        Does he mess up Chinese production with idiotic Covid lockdowns as Xi has done? Nope.
        Can he force US oil companies to spend on production and exploration instead of paying larger dividends and doing share buybacks? Nope.

  3. Rather surprised no one has commented on the demise of the 1st Mrs. DJT yet. From what I gather she "fell " down a flight of steps. Somehow I doubt that story is over yet.,
