Are you doing anything special to commemorate his being sworn in January 20th? I've got plans to do.a lot of Middle Eastern cooking - mostly stew. It's a big deal where I live and a lot of people no longer working so many have time for it but I don't know if I am working that day or not. Rob

That sounds nice. My only plans right now are to say a prayer, breathe a sigh of relief, and smile a lot.

I'm still waiting to see what circus unfolds on Jan 6 and immediately thereafter.
My only plans for Wednesday are to make note of which Republican politicians are part of the treasonous traitor segment of the party. The recent news tells me that in addition to half the republicans in the house there are now 11 or 12 treasonous sh1tbags in the senate. I’m sadly not surprised since the Republican Party went off the rails with their hate of America some time ago but the best I can do is take note so I can remind everyone who clings to the fiction that the party will somehow go back to being decent human beings anytime in the near future.
I'm repeating myself, but I hope the Never Trumpers who continue to leave the Republican Party (I believe Linda Chavez was the latest) can work together to salvage what's left of their "brand." There's certainly a place for principled conservatives--or there should be--at the table.

I rather like Ted Cruz and do not like his leading the charge of Trumperism.
My guy Rand Paul, the only National politician I’ve given money to in recent years, has also been crazy in that camp. Not happy about that.

I think it's nice that these folks are rushing to put their own names on the list of traitors to the republic. Shameful.
And now Trump was recorded yesterday trying to strongarm the GA Secretary of State, mafia style, into ‘finding’ 12,000 more votes for him. I suppose it’s not surprising. Just sad and pathetic, like pretty much his entire life.

I don't expect it to go anywhere anymore than when the Democrats did the same during the last 3 Republican wins. Were they treasonous traitor shitbags as well?

The only reason it's not going to go anywhere is because the democrats control the house. Would you still be so confident of the coup failing if republicans currently controlled the house? Yes, it will fail this time, but the playbook will be ready for the time when a democrat when the presidency but the banana republicans control both branches of congress.

As I understand it, the Republicans will be asking for a congressionally appointed commission to look into certain states procedural deviations where institutions other than state legislatures made decisions that were *constitutionally questionable*.
It occurs to me that if there is merit to the objections, ignoring those deviations would be the real coup attempt. Am I missing something?
*Meaning state constitutions rather than federal*
If the sixty-whatever failed lawsuits didn't clear that up for you than yes, I think you are missing something.
I wonder if the republican representatives claiming that there was election fraud who come from the states being challenged are planning to decline to be seated until the commission finishes its task. It would only seem reasonable that their elections were also questionable. Perhaps Pelosi should hold off on seating them until this is cleared up.
I might get a pizza or something because while I am not a Biden supporter my son voted for him and I will be glad to see Trump gone.
I haven't seen any evidence in trustworthy media about skulduggery this time around.
Most observers say 2020's election was one of the best-run in recent history.
I don't know where Giuliani gets his silly intel, but I suspect it's from "alternative news."

There is apparently audio of the Orange Loser trying to cajole the Secretary of State of Georgia to overthrow Biden's win of the state. I have to have faith - as did Arizona, miraculously in a sea of red states Georgia found the dignity to flip blue, denying the Loser of Orange the state.
My guess? Enough new liberal Yankee and California money in the state plus, as in Arizona, a population not as one dimensional as the media would have you believe. And a population of enough voters having had their fill of The Orange Loser's shtick the past four years.
Georgia is now the one - and only - Southern statevin which I'd willingly show my face for other than emergency of some sort or protest reasons. My hat is off to Georgia!!! Rob
"Cajole" is a kind word for an audio that ranges from begging to threatening. :D

Perhaps a reading of that needs to be done during testimony in the house Wednesday.
"Our elections have occurred. Recounts and audits have been conducted. Appropriate challenges have been addressed by the courts. Governors have certified the results. And the electoral college has voted. The time for questioning the results has passed; the time for the formal counting of the electoral college votes, as prescribed in the Constitution and statute, has arrived."

yes, I didnt believe DH when he told me Hilary’s camp did the same thing on January 6, 2017. But this paragraph came up first in my Googling of it:
“WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Congress on Friday certified the Electoral College vote that gave Republican Donald Trump his victory in the contentious 2016 presidential election after a raucous half-hour joint session punctuated by Democratic challenges.”

Yes, the Democrats filed objections after the 2000, 2004 and 2016 elections, each of which were won by Republicans. Now, when the Republicans do the same thing, it's a coup attempt. Funny how that works.
I must say I do wish the Republicans would just lose graciously and be done with it but it seems they've become accustomed to acting like Democrats. It's a shame.

Ok, but Democrats weren't screaming fraud and refusing to accept the winner of the election. Not in 2005, and not in 2016. We may have been sick about it - and the past 4 years have been nausea inducing for sure - but NO ONE TRIED to keep Trump, or Bush, from actually becoming president. NO ONE tried to get a state to overturn its results, or throw out votes, or disenfranchise large portions of a state. No one in power threatened election officials with death, or jail, for not overturning a legal election. Because that would have been treasonous. Oh wait.... apparently it's ok if Republicans do it, my bad.

Sure they did, that was the entire purpose of the objections, and when that didn't work in 2017, they even began planning Trump's impeachment before he was even inaugurated. I stand by my wish that Republicans would not act like them.
Gosh. I’d almost forgotten that Hillary had brought dozens of lawsuits questioning the vote counts and having them all found to be meritless and democratic state attorney generals filing baseless suits to disenfranchise millions of voters in other states. And Obama attempted to strongarm state officials into ‘finding’ enough votes or to ‘recalculate’ the votes to come up with a different result.
Sorry Alan your attemp at both siderism isn’t working. The republicans by far definitely get the gold when it comes to who’s the winner of the sore loser party award.
And I’ll say it again. I have no confidence that if republicans controlled the house that the situation would have the same result it’s likely to have on Wednesday. In 2017 a mere five democratic reps raised challenges during the electoral college tallying. Unlike now when It’s not just a fringe few Republican representatives. It’s literally half the damn Republican caucus and a dozen senators that have signed on to this BS.
Sorry Alan your attemp at both siderism isn’t working. I'm not so much attempting both siderism as pointing out facts and being surprised at others unwillingness to accept them. Well, that and my continuing disappointment with Republicans acting like Democrats. ;)
Well, I'd be happy stringing up both sides, but that's just me.

Fixed it for you.
Every living former defense Secretary has signed on to a letter informing the military that the military should have no role in settling election disputes.
First, it’s incredibly sad that they would feel the need to do so. Second, what do they know that the general public doesn’t that made them feel the need to do so at all?
Apparently, this is Trump's modus operandi--the same one he employed in his shakedown of Ukrainian President Zelensky and probably the craven senators who continue to support him. But his brazen flouting of the Constitution is A-OK with those who continue to support him, because he can do no wrong in their eyes.
