Time for Schumer and Pelosi to hold Trump coup conspirators accountable

[634-5789]

What do you call the actions of the president’s supporters who continue to aid and abet him in undermining the will of American voters with baseless lawsuits that were overwhelmingly defeated?

What do you call the actions of 126 Members of the House of Representatives who signed onto one such lawsuit, Texas v. Pennsylvania, filed with the intent of throwing out millions of votes in several states and overturning the outcome of the election? What about the actions of Senators who vow to protest the certification of electoral votes in Congress for the same purpose?

You don’t call them acting like Republicans (though they claim to be), or patriots, but you don’t write them off as ignorant morons, either. And you certainly don’t call them defenders of democracy, freedom, or the rule of law.

Only one word springs to mind when describing the actions of outgoing President Donald Trump and his most obedient followers who remain hellbent on orchestrating some half-assed coup to stop Joe Biden from taking his rightful spot as the next, duly-elected President of the United States:

Traitorous.

1. Yes they SHOULD...

But WILL they?

[live love laugh]

8. CAN they? When 140 Congressional reps and counting side with Trump

to overturn the election? And McConnell is in charge?

Doubt it.

2. It's unrealistic to expect either of these things to happen:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi must not permit any House member who signed onto Texas v. Pennsylvania to take their seat in the new Congress, until such time as each of them makes public and written statements renouncing their support of the seditious suit.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer must seek rebuke and censure against Missouri Senator Josh Hawley and Alabama Senator-elect Tommy Tuberville, both of whom claimed they would protest the electoral vote certification on Jan. 6. Neither of them deserve the privilege of holding a Senate seat as long as they are so willing to undermine democracy.

3. How does the Senate minority leader do this?

And their behavior is seditious, horrible and anti-American, but it is not traitorous.

4. Thank you.

5. Read Out All the Republican Voters Caught Cheating

Robert R. Lynn, Ralph Thurman and Bruce Bartman in Pennsylvania for example. All tried to vote for dead people and all were Trump supporters.

Pennsylvania's total 2020 votes for President were 6,915,283. Of all those votes, I'm aware of only 3 instances of voter fraud. That's approximately 0.0000000043%. Again, why are we having all this discussion? Sour grapes and sore losers.

6. I despise the Republicans who went to court to challenge the election results, but I don't consider

using the legal system a "coup" no matter how frivolous and nasty it was. I've lived through a real coup, and it is a completely different animal.

7. Name the traitors for history. Shame them. Censor them.

Kick them out of Congress. Oh. And be sure to prosecute them.
