American Politics I: It's All Applesauce

[Torisakia]

The election was rigged because they somehow missed the 1.7 billion votes I cast for Godzilla. Yet SCOTUS wants to ignore that. Hmm...

[Nakena]

Today we learned that Kraken's cannot survive in Texas.

[The Alma Mater]

Unfortunately, the case isn't done yet. QED, people have demonstrated how fragile and vulnerable the voting system is. The trick of using the recently deceased to vote really does work. It's kind of easy actually. With COVID, there's been so many deaths in the swing states that if the case is brought up again to the supreme court, they'll take it. The Texas lawsuit was just too vague and lightweight with it's allegations.

It had nothing to do with being vague and everything to do with Texas having no standing.

Are you sure ? Currently their argument was "because Kamala can resolve ties in the senate, we suffer if she obtained that position through 'irregularities' in other sates". After which they provided no proof irregularities actually happened, aside from some erroneous mathematical statements involving probabilty.

Had they provided clear and specific evidence that the changes in election law did indeed lead to irregulaties and/or outright fraud to such a degree there could be reasonable doubt Kamala was truly elected- would their standing not have improved ?

Perhaps we should simply give the presidency to the candidate who nobody has accused of fraud this election.
President Vermin Supreme 2020.

Anyone with more than one brain cell could do a better job, but then having that many brain cells automatically disqualifies you from working in government. An impasse.

THOSE ASSHOLES!

They should definitely go back and count all those votes you ca for Godzilla.

Godzilla/Mothra 2020 - Together, we can fuck shit up!

[Vassenor]

So the GOP is demonstrating its commitment to "You lost, get over it you fucking snowflakes" by -checks notes- demanding that states secede from the Union because SCOTUS refused to overturn a free and fair election that they lost.

[Myrensis]

I hope they do destroy the party as they say and launch a primary challenge of every incumbent.

We do have a lot of incumbents who need to go. Establishing primaries as a legitimate threat to swamp monsters would be a nice change of pace.

You represent such a small percentage of the GOP that your opinions don't matter that much here.

The hell does that even mean?

I believe he's mistaking your wishy washy blithering about not entirely approving of your parties deliberate attempts to overturn an election and poison and undermine the entire democratic process for you being some sort of moderate/sane Republican, and then quite rightly pointing out that any such people who do exist are now clearly a distinctly fringe minority within the Party of Trump.

So the texas GOP is pretty much calling for secession....

Perhaps they should form a - what's the word? - 'confederation' of like-minded American states; a confederated states of America, if you will.

I suggest calling a convention in Montgomery, Alabama on 4 February 2021 to discuss this fascinating concept in further detail.

Well, as they're always happy to tell you, violent secession over losing an election is the single defining and proudest moment of conservatives "heritage".

By happy coincidence, it seems some people have already purchased fitting flags for in their pickup trucks.

What remarkable planning on their part!

Perhaps they should first try planting this flag on a fort in Charleston harbour, just to test the reaction from the federal government? Perhaps three months or so after holding that February convention in Montgomery? Might I suggest 12 April 2021 as a felicitous date for the attempt?

It was "vague and lightweight" because they literally don't have anything substantial.

The scary thing is that some people really want this to happen..

As a side note, it was not “vague and lightweight with its allegations.”
Those descriptors apply to the evidence portion.

[The Holy Therns]

I'd say this was an interesting development, but there was pretty much literally the only way this was gonna go.

[Borderlands of Rojava]

I'd say this was an interesting development, but there was pretty much literally the only way this was gonna go.

Not in the mind of Trump's fans. Most of them legitimately thought he was gonna 65D chess his way out of this and then reality hit when the court said "no, this lawsuit isn't even worth our time." Biden will be the president in 2021. There is no way for Trump to still win this and he lost not because of voter fraud but because most Americans don't like a guy whose inaction and ineptitude lead to hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths.

[The Greater Ohio Valley]

Trump Twitter Sphere is now suggesting civil war.

Yet I highly doubt very many of them would be actually willing to die for Trump.

They'll tire themselves out eventually.

Considering how crazy many of them have been talking, i think if Trump told his fans to die for him, at least half would actually do it.

Shit, many of them already did die for him when he told them to come to his rallies during a pandemic and they did. So it isnt even a hypothetical.

[Thermodolia]

Trump is now attacking the Supreme Court

So, you’re the President of the United States, and you just went through an election where you got more votes than any sitting President in history, by far - and purportedly lost. You can’t get “standing” before the Supreme Court, so you “intervene” with wonderful states that, after careful study and consideration, think you got “screwed”, something which will hurt them also. Many others likewise join the suit but, within a flash, it is thrown out and gone, without even looking at the many reasons it was brought. A Rigged Election, fight on!

One of the replies is interesting as they are blaming the GOP for this. Saying that the GOP didn’t fix the voter ID laws and that they fought Trump all the way.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is under consideration to be Attorney General. I really hope he gets picked.

The other three contenders at the moment include outgoing Alabama Sen. Doug Jones, federal appeals court judge Merrick Garland and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates,

April 9, more like. That's what a second war would more closely resemble.

[Thermodolia]

The Cato Institute's Ilya Shapiro, meanwhile, noted that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is bringing the suit without the support of his own solicitor general, Kyle Hawkins, who would normally lead litigation on behalf of the state.

"There's a reason why the Texas solicitor general's name isn't on the case," Shapiro said.

Fox, actually. Just an interesting tidbit. They pointed out a couple other issues with the lawsuit including but not limited to hypocrisy on Texas's end.

Fox News has turned on Trump. I wonder how long they’ll last

Oh god no. Anyone but Cuomo
