Yeah, I assumed he'd be a shithead just like Gov. Herbert. I voted against Cox in the primary. These crap Republicans always seem to make it past the primaries and then are a shoe in for the general.

Nope, it's glaringly obvious / egregious at this point! They've pulled back any veil of objectivity, and they're now VERY out in the open, operating in plain sight for anyone with an IQ above room temp to see! That said, it's all been quite obvious to me since Reagan was president...

Nothing new...been this way for 4+ years.

The real problem is with the sheeple...they think as long as all the vile and smear is directed at 'Orange Man Bad' it's ok...and that as soon as 'Orange Man Bad' is gone, FAKE NEWS will return to fair, open, and unbiased reporting...they will just go all legit, straight and honest.

Nope...FAKE News will continue to mislead and manipulate them even more.

If they wind up being told to 'lock down' for another 4-6 weeks come spring so they can 'cruise' to getting the numbers under control (as one potential appointee put it)...they can pat themselves on the back and say 'Thank GOD Trump is out of office!' They'll have plenty of time to do as the economy is ravaged even further.

As to removing 'President' from Trump's FB...that's the pathetic, vile lengths they go to...is anyone surprised?

Can we get to 210 ?

I'm not surprised by it but its disgusting how quick these Rhinos are to kiss Bidens ass. Do you think for one second a Democrat would congratulate Trump? They form a commited, unified front in everything they do. On the other hand, Republicans can't wait to get back into second place. If I had my way, there wouldn't be a tree in DC that didn't have a politician swinging from it.

I thought all the talk of Civil War and the Tree of Liberty was hyperbole and over the top. But the way the MSM and libs are currently framing this- If Trump succeeds and is confirmed the next President the libs are going to go completely insane and view it as an actual Coup on Trumps part.

That’s a crime and rests squarely on their shoulders.

Being a Born Again Skeptic and cynical I’ve been undecided because it seems obvious the Powers that Be are playing both sides against the other. Not anymore. I’m going to send substantial financial support to President Trump and the 2 Senators from Georgia.

Seems it’s time for a Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death moment in American History. God Bless President Trump for all he’s done for us. It’s time we did something for him.

Who chooses the President of the United States?

This question is by no means rhetorical. For example, the mass disinformation media has chosen Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. Many people liked this news, but I must disappoint them – the television broadcasters have, according to the U.S. Constitution, nothing to do with who will live in the White House for the next four years.

Maybe the Supreme Court chooses the President? No, the Constitution does not provide for this. Could it be that the citizens of America choose their President? Following the U.S. Constitution, no. So, who then chooses the President?

Before answering this question, let us note that, contrary to popular misconception, the President of the United States is not a representative of the American people. State legislators and governors are representatives of the people, and at the federal level so are the members of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress. (Currently, senators are also representatives of the people, but before the ratification of the 17th Amendment to the Constitution in 1913, they were appointed by state legislators). So, who does the President of America represent?

The President of the United States of America, according to the Constitution, represents state legislators' interests and no one else.



In general, the federal government's structure in America reflects the numerous attempts of the Founding Fathers of the United States to introduce a system of effective state control over the federal government. The fact is that the main difference between our country and all other countries, without exception, is that it was organized "from the bottom up," that is, individual colonies voluntarily united against a common enemy – the British Empire. All other "republics" on the planet were created "from the top down," when the already existing provinces were graciously granted some independence by the already existing central government.


In building the American state, the fundamental principle was state control over the newly created federal power structure. Therefore, from the Founding Fathers' point of view, the federal government in Washington should consist of both representatives of the people (congressmen) and representatives of the state leadership – the federal President and senators. This is how the institution of the Electoral College was invented and implemented. The electors are appointed by the state legislatures, and they are the ones who elect the President of the country.

So why do American citizens need to participate in the presidential elections? Well, strictly speaking, it is not necessary. It is just that there is a long tradition in America – state legislators appoint electors in such a way that these appointments correspond to the mood of the people (in some states, this is even enshrined by law). This is a tradition, but according to the U.S. Constitution, the participation of the people in presidential elections, generally speaking, is not required. According to the Constitution, the people participate in the direct elections of their legislators, which is quite enough.

There is nothing reprehensible in this – after all, the President of America is not the representative of the American people. He is the representative of state legislators. From the point of view of the states, the President (and pre-1913, two senators from each state) are the "overseers" of the federal government. In other words, the President, from the point of view of state legislators, is "our man in Havana" (that is, in Washington), who is responsible for the observance of state rights by the federal government.

Thus, under the Constitution, state legislators have the right to generally ignore the results of the voting of citizens of their state and appoint those who they deem necessary to the Electoral College. Why did the Founding Fathers of the United States give state legislators such unprecedented power? Because most of the Founding Fathers were geniuses with impressive foresight. They did not know precisely when this would happen, but they knew it would eventually happen: the election's published results would have nothing to do with how the citizens voted.

This is exactly what happened in 2020.

Of course, there have been falsifications in the counting of votes in America before. However, in 2020, the Democrats went all-in with a scam, and for the first time in American history, they were close to success. Actually, they simply had no other choice. They knew very well that another Trump term would be enough to crush the American left to its core. (However, even if Trump does not manage to stay in the White House, his departure from politics will be such that the left will not be envied.)

Now, more than a week after the elections, it is already clear what the Trump team is doing. They are working in two directions.

First, they sue in states where there was a clear violation of the electoral law. Violations include the counting of votes that came after polling stations closed, turnout of more than 100%, the use of computer systems that were systematically "wrong," always in favor of Biden, the thousands of Pennsylvania voters born on January 1, 1900 (or even on January 1, 1800), and much more.

For example, election results in some Democrat-controlled states violate fundamental laws of both mathematics and physics. The votes cast for Biden do not comply with the statistical law of distribution of digits (Benford's Law), while the ballots cast for Trump do adhere to this law. Thousands of mailed ballots were received even before they were officially sent. Thus, the 2020 election showed compelling evidence of the possibility of time travel.

Secondly, the Trump team calls on state legislators to use their constitutional powers to rectify the local executive authority's criminal actions to the point of completely ignoring the falsified voting results.

These are the expected steps. Any presidential candidate would and should take such measures. Al Gore did the same in 2000, but then the case concerned only the state of Florida. In 2000, the country did not know the name of the winner for 35 days, and in 2020 we should not expect a faster resolution of the issue because now we are talking about at least six "problem" states.

Only now is the reason for the frenzy with which the Democrats attacked the three Trump-nominated Supreme Court justices is becoming clear. The fact is that the Trump-nominated current U.S. Supreme Court justices – Gorsuch, Kavanagh, and Barrett – were on Bush's legal team that secured the Supreme Court case in favor of Bush in 2000.

But the main difference between the 2020 elections and the 2000 elections is the involvement of the federal government's apparatus in investigating violations. The investigation is carried out by both prosecutors of the Department of Justice and FBI agents.

According to the Constitution, all courts and all other voting problems must be resolved by the first Monday after the second Wednesday of December, which falls on December 14 this year. If on December 14, the Electoral College fails to elect a president, then the Constitution also provides for this scenario. Per the 12th Amendment to the Constitution, in this case, the President and Vice President will be elected by the House of Representatives (however, if for some reason the Vice President cannot be elected by the House of Representatives, then the right of his choice is transferred to the Senate.)

In the House of Representatives, state delegations will be voting, not the individual congressmen themselves. Now in the House of Representatives, the majority of delegations – 26 – belong to Republicans. In the Senate, the Republicans also have an advantage. So, the only reason Trump can lose the election now, a week after the election, is his own admission of defeat. But such a strange decision by Trump is unlikely – this guy is from Queens, and if he gets involved in a fight, he will see it through to the end.

It is also unlikely that Trump does not understand that if the chronic vote-rigging by Democrats is not stopped now, America will end. The Trump team is well aware that such an opportunity to end the creeping socialist revolution may no longer be presented.

As a result, Democrats will likely not recover from this fraud. The disinformation media (which Fox News joined on the election night) will not recover from deliberately covering up this fraud, this attempted coup. If the Democrats went for broke, then Trump could, most likely, also go for broke.

Trump may have already destroyed the Democratic National Committee, but they just do not know it yet.

In military terms, Trump's team conducted careful reconnaissance and intelligence on the enemy for a week. They collected numerous affidavits about the electoral fraud of Democrats, witnesses who confirm their testimony under oath. But on the evening of November 10, the reconnaissance was completed, and massive artillery bombardment began in the form of lawsuits in several key states and the initiation of criminal investigations into violations by the Department of Justice. If this does not help, Trump will bring into the battle the strategic reserves available only to the President of the American state apparatus – for example, in the form of a complete declassification of Obamagate. In any case, our country is by no means at the end; we are at the very beginning of this process.

From a legal perspective, Biden is an impostor, a false president, at least until December 14 of this year. If Biden can declare himself President-elect without any legal basis, then any other American citizen can also declare himself President-elect.

Therefore, I am forced to repeat my advice once again – to survive in this leftist madhouse, turn off the TV and start thinking for yourself. If you have read the article so far, you will definitely succeed. And remember – if the laws in our country are still observed, then the chances of the Harris-Biden administration (in this order) are practically zero. If the laws in America are not followed, then the great American political experiment will unfortunately end.

Trump Law Firm Quits Pennsylvania Case After Project Lincoln 'Cancel' Campaign

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...coln-cancel-campaign

A law firm representing the Trump campaign's efforts to challenge the Pennsylvania election results gave notice late Thursday that they are withdrawing from one of the cases.

While no reason was given for the decision by Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP, Bloomberg notes that it was one of two law firms targeted by the Lincoln Project - a group of 'never-Trump' Republicans devoted to removing Trump from office.

On Tuesday, the group encouraged people to join LinkedIn and target individual employees of Porter Wright and another law firm, Jones Day, and "Ask them how they can work for an organization trying to overturn the will of the American people."

A Trump campaign spokesman blamed "cancel culture" for the firm's exit.

"Leftist mobs descended upon some of the lawyers representing the President’s campaign and they buckled," said campaign communications director, Tim Murtaugh. "If the target were anyone but Donald Trump, the media would be screaming about injustice and the fundamental right to legal representation. The President’s team is undeterred and will move forward with rock-solid attorneys to ensure free and fair elections for all Americans."

As said before...*IF* they claim victory, it's 1000X harder to overturn it...'the will of the people' argument.

What a disgrace...that firm will forever know that they caved and sold out...

Hopefully somebody else picks it up and runs with it.

The calls for fair and transparent elections and pledging to wait for vote certifications are as hollow as the calls for 'unity.'

If All the Fraud Is Uncovered, Trump Will Win

How do we know? The people who tried to pull off this election heist are drawn from the same swamp as the conspirators in the Russia hoax.

The Times Called Officials in Every State: No Evidence of Voter Fraud.” So read the front-page headline in Wednesday’s New York Times. This assertion was echoed by virtually every major news organization in the United States and around the world. And, even before the story, it was the media mantra for over a week.

Biden, the Times keeps reassuring its readers, is our unequivocal president-elect; there’s no evidence whatsoever of any kind of electoral hanky-panky; Trump, by claiming otherwise, is being the thug, the sore loser, whom we always knew him to be; by leveling these utterly unfounded charges, he is spitting in the face of American democracy and rejecting an honorable two-and-a-half-century-long history of presidents peacefully transferring power to their successors.

All nonsense, of course. It’s already plain that there has been significant Democratic duplicity at the polls in several states. Every day the mountain of evidence grows higher.

And every day a certain conclusion seems to me to grow more certain. No, I don’t have a full oversight of the scale of the vote fraud—far from it. But I feel increasingly confident saying the following: if all of the cheating in the 2020 presidential election can be uncovered and reversed, then Trump will emerge the clear winner.

Why do I think this?

First, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that all this fraud was carefully coordinated and calculated at every level. The criminality has not been haphazard or sloppy; on the contrary, the various kinds of vote manipulation appear to have taken place only in a small number of swing states. And the number of invalid votes in those states that have been credited to Biden, and of valid votes denied to Trump, seems to have been calculated very carefully so as to ensure that each of those states would be stolen from Trump and that Biden’s lead would be slim but definitive.

In the same way, whoever engineered this operation focused on just the right number of swing states to make certain that the total number of electoral votes shifted thereby from Trump to Biden would guarantee the latter a certain, but not suspiciously overwhelming, victory.

Malice After Midnight?

In other words, whereas the whole business seemed chaotic at first blush—consisting of a mishmash of write-in ballots cast by dead people, of Trump votes turned into Biden votes by a certain kind of voting machine software, of poll workers on Election Night forging new Biden ballots so quickly that they didn’t bother to tick off down-ballot races—when you step back and behold the forest instead of the trees, it all begins to look almost surgical.

It’s already been demonstrated that this sordid scheme, while tightly focused in the sense that it manipulated the vote only in a relatively small number of urban areas, was also broad-based, in the sense that the urban areas affected were spread over much of the United States. The operation manifestly involved a great many perpetrators who knowingly chose to commit felonies in order to achieve the election result that they wanted.

That being the case, it seems highly unlikely that so many people would have taken such a serious risk of being caught, convicted, and imprisoned if they had been reasonably sure that Biden would have won even without their help.

To me, this means that they must have done what they did knowing that had they not intervened, Trump would have won.

The realization that a Trump victory was at hand must have come to them some time after midnight on Election Night. That would explain why the vote counting mysteriously stopped, seemingly all at once, in several different places around the country—and why it started up again, in the middle of the night, after many of the polling stations involved had announced that they were through counting for the day.

Those who have bought the line of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media sneer: how can you possibly believe in such an elaborate plot? In so much high-level criminality by so many people in positions of authority? To believe in massive voter fraud, they argue, is to buy into the wildest conspiracy theory ever.

But this isn’t the wildest conspiracy theory ever. It’s not even the wildest conspiracy theory of the last four years. That honor has got to go to Obamagate—the theory that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and leading officials at the FBI, CIA, and elsewhere conspired to try to tie the Trump campaign, and later the Trump Administration, to Russia.

Wild theory, huh? Wildest ever. Except it was true. The saintly Obama, along with several of his cronies, did try to bring down Trump using Russia and Ukraine—all the while knowing that one of their own, Biden himself, had dirty ties in both countries, as well as in China.

The people who tried to pull off this election heist are drawn from the same swamp as the conspirators in the Russia hoax. And in both cases they’ve had the Times and the rest of the mainstream media on board, eager to spread their disinformation to the world.

Bipartisan Civility Is For Suckers

Those media aren’t just trying to sell us on the claim that Biden is already our president-elect. After four years of refusing to respect Trump as a legitimate president and consistently painting his supporters as idiots and bigots, they’re now telling Trumpites that they want to make up and be friends.

Some wimps in the Republican ranks want to accept this offer. They worry aloud that if Trump challenges the election results too vigorously, it’ll ruin any chances of bipartisan civility during the next four years. They further warn that if this whole mess ends up in the Supreme Court, and Trump is named the winner, all hell will break loose. Trump’s second term will be bumpy; he’ll be savaged constantly; he’ll be accused of stealing the presidency.

So what else is new? We’ve already gone through four years of that. Four years of talking heads on CNN and MSNBC calling Trump is an existential threat to American democracy. Four years of late-night talk-show hosts mocking him as the biggest buffoon on the planet. Four years of tweets by everyone and sundry calling Trump Hitler.

Four years of the New York Times ignoring Trump’s achievements, exaggerating his faults out of all proportion, telling outrageously false stories about him, and smearing his character.

And, most recently, several months of brutal rioting in the streets of major cities—rioting that was carried out exclusively by left-wingers, and that, when not dismissed by left-wing media as “mostly peaceful,” was completely mischaracterized as owing to the innate violence of Trump and his supporters.

Well, the hell with all of them. If the Supreme Court ends up deciding this debacle, and Trump wins, and the Left goes berserk—even more berserk than they’ve gone so far in the streets of Portland and Seattle and Minneapolis and so on—then let them go berserk. Let’s see how angry Joy Behar and Rosie O’Donnell and Bette Midler can get. Let’s see how self-righteous Colbert and Kimmel and Maher can get. Let’s see how many windows the Antifa and BLM thugs can break, how many fires they can set.

Trump will still be president, and he won’t feel constrained in his response to any of them.

LINK

If the left wants to cry about Trump fighting, I hope someone tells them smugly that Trump will win “by any means necessary” and that he’ll use “every arrow in his quiver” to do it.

This guy's delivery is annoying, but hope he is right. MI flipping would be shocking with the 200k margin.

Summary: PA, WI, MI, GA legislatures are ordering audits and recanvasses. Of Course, Kathy Boockvar in PA said she won't order a recount.

Burgess Owens is still looking good in Utah's 4th district with 97% reporting.

I pray that Owens will hold on and win. McAdams is a cancer that needs to be removed from our great state.

Accordingly, I hereby order:

Section 1. (a) Not later than 45 days after the conclusion of a United States election, the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies (agencies), shall conduct an assessment of any information indicating that a foreign government, or any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government, has acted with the intent or purpose of interfering in that election. The assessment shall identify, to the maximum extent ascertainable, the nature of any foreign interference and any methods employed to execute it, the persons involved, and the foreign government or governments that authorized, directed, sponsored, or supported it. The Director of National Intelligence shall deliver this assessment and appropriate supporting information to the President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Executive Order on Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election, Sept. 12, 2018


President Trump signed an executive order in 2018 that created a Cabinet-level command structure for monitoring and exposing election fraud and foreign interference.

I think he should issue an executive order to hunt down and prosecute the domestic seditionists that tried to throw the election.

Life in solitary upon conviction is the most lenient we should be.
