Let's attack the Capitol and tell everyone the election was a fraud.

Let's tell the Big Lie over and over until everyone is hypnotized by it.

Let's threaten the lives of everyone that is against us.

Then, when the heat gets a little too hot for us, we can pretend we are for another election. We will ignore our complicity and traitorous activities up to this point.

Then everything will be hunky-dory, right?

for their electile dysfunction.

And considering that "medication" took the form of lies, lies, and more lies, it was extremely toxic. It must also be highly addictive, considering that they can't seem to give it up. And...

Sorry, that's all I've got. I've taken this metaphor as far as I can. Time to call it a night!

They know it goes nowhere in an election sense, but they aren't interested in that.
This is all about wrecking the election process.
And, as they did in Arizona, they will find BS reasons to cast doubt on the 2020 election regardless of the lack of substance in any and all states that perform a "fraudit".

It's all so they can create a "fix" for a non-existent problem. Suppress the vote, and combine that with managing the count.
Remember, it's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes.

The Republicans have become truly despicable.

Even if they could prove there was fraud on a scale large enough to change the outcome of the election, which they can’t because there wasn’t, there is no remedy in the Constitution like what they are asking. The only way to remove Biden as President now is through impeachment and conviction; and that would make Kamala Harris President. If they impeached her, then POTUS would be Nancy Pelosi.

"Waaaaaahhhh! One race didn't go our way! Do over! Do over!"

Are they saying their own elections are suspect? Maybe they should all resign.

No one from Indiana signed this letter. That's some kind of miracle right there. Let the record show that on this day in history Hoosier Republicans were crazy, but they weren't THAT crazy.

13. Trump Supporters Are Calling For More Audits After Arizona Proved Biden Won The Election (Again)

Sep 2021

The signers of this letter are all idiots who do not deserve to serve




Former president Donald Trump and his allies are pushing new efforts to recount last year’s election results after a sham “audit” conducted by a pro-Trump contractor in Arizona reaffirmed his loss.

After five months and at least $5.7 million spent reexamining 2.1 million ballots in Maricopa County, Trump's allies had looked forward to Friday, when Arizona Republicans would release the results and prove that the election was stolen. But a draft copy leaked on Thursday night, showing that not only did the auditors find that President Joe Biden won the election, but they also claimed to have found more votes for him.

Trump allies had spent months building up hope that Arizona would offer proof of their lies about the election, raising money along the way. Absent that proof, they did what they always do and spun reality.

“The Fake News is lying about the Arizona audit report!” Trump said in a statement Friday. “The leaked report conclusively shows there were enough fraudulent votes, mystery votes, and fake votes to change the outcome of the election 4 or 5 times over.”

By midday, Trump world was calling for more audits and investigations to build on the “proof” found in Maricopa County. Trump's spokesperson, Liz Harrington, called for a “full forensic audit of the entire state,” saying “Arizona is only the beginning!” Trump-aligned candidates for Arizona secretary of state and governor called for a sequel to the audit in Pima County, which Biden also won.
