Grand Unified Election Thread 2: What is the difference between Biden and Dump?

[MichVandal]

Here's the original tweet that tells the Speaker's location- https://mobile.twitter.com/laurenboe...98735050199050
Which is then followed up by a tweet saying the Speaker has been removed. Why do you tweet out the location of The Speaker of the House during a riot????

More fun with riots, starring everybody's favorite, the Commerce Clause:

(3)
to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or

and who either during the course of any such travel or use or thereafter performs or attempts to perform any other overt act for any purpose specified in subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (D) of this paragraph— [1]
Shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
(b)
In any prosecution under this section, proof that a defendant engaged or attempted to engage in one or more of the overt acts described in subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (D) of paragraph (1) of subsection (a) [2] and (1) has traveled in interstate or foreign commerce, or (2) has use of or used any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including but not limited to, mail, telegraph, telephone, radio, or television, to communicate with or broadcast to any person or group of persons prior to such overt acts, such travel or use shall be admissible proof to establish that such defendant traveled in or used such facility of interstate or foreign commerce.

Anybody should be "let in." Voters gonna vote. The People should be allowed any representative they want.

But that representative then has to observe her oath (not to mention basic human decency).

Is violation of the oath to uphold and defend the Constitution a prosecutable offense or just grounds for expulsion?

Reading matter.

You’re kinder than I am. There should be some standard that incoming members have to meet.

Justin Amash, whose politics were mostly wrong-headed, was one of the few republican politicians who called trump what he was. He, like others before him, paid with his position in the congress. His successor also appears to be cut from the same cloth.



It would be nice if the spine he has showed in the last few days keeps growing. I'm not holding my breath.

This is more about keeping is business around, and his district is not derp enough to go full on treason.

If we didn't allow imbeciles into Congress half the population (and 75% of conservatives) would be disenfranchised.

Believe whatever dumb thing you want, you're welcome. Believe in supernatural fairies, you're welcome. Incite violence or insurrection, hit the bricks.

The pics coming out today if the officer who was murdered are as bad as you might imagine

Another Capitol Police officer died- https://twitter.com/search?q=capitol...Ctwgr%5Esearch

Apparent suicide.

As for the "revolutionary" nature of this thing- if there were factual, demonstrable issues that needed to be defended for, yea. But there have been ZERO facts to support the "steal". The one post that bugged me on another board was the idea that the courts intentionally didn't look at the data- when the court records clearly says that the data was not even presented. And when pressured to know what the charges were, fraud was consistently taken off the charges. They would not present that charge multiple times.

I wonder if anyone has found the same accused problems for AZ, GA, PA, and MI to see what dumpy states would also be disqualified. I thought I heard that at least on of the two Carolina's would have to be thrown out, too.

It's not that they wouldn't present charges of fraud, they would stipulate to the court that they "weren't alleging that fraud had occurred. But, throw out these millions of votes anyway."

His father was a former Senate Sergeant-at-Arms who later worked as chief of staff for two Republican Senators and as a lobbyist for... Paul Manafort.

I've had enough of this Tom Clancy novel. Check, please.

Isnt that what they used against the Chicago Seven? Crossing State Lines to cause a riot? Oh wait they were (((Jews))) and Blacks and such so they were communists!!11!1!

Clancy would’ve made it a leftist mob financed by Mexican drug lords.

Remember, Clancy wrote that only a weak leftist like Dukakis would use nuclear weapons.

I am sure it is just a coincidence...

Clancy was a POS who couldn't write his way out of a paper bag, but I don't think even he would have come up with the cuckoo coup.

Yeah, from most of the tweets I’ve read it seems like people are assuming one thing but I suspect it might be something else.
