By any measure, the allegations of fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election exceed any in our lifetimes

Millions of people around the world protested Trump’s election. The most recent ‘million MAGA march’ in DC was in the mid three figures.

Carnival Cruz. The Cubanadian Cuck. The most hated Senator in the Senate by the rest of the Senate. And the sane part of the country.

There is a violent coup brewing. They are threatening to block Democrats from being seated, and perhaps killing them.. And ~ 160 Republican members of Congress (so far) are leading them

Cruz Leads GOPers In Fresh Effort To Object

Cruz has found his natural calling. He is most objectionable.

Why do these Senators need a special commission? Are they not on committees that could send bi-partisan staff to look at the election process in WI, MI, GA and PA? Maybe we should agree to a review of these states as long as we add in KY?

This is all too much, and too much bullshit is not healthy.

Joining Cruz’s desperate effort, include Republican Sens…

The scaredy primary caucus, who fear getting primaried from the right more than they do losing in the general election. This is a stunt, ignore.

That’s a lot of work to defend the man who called his wife ugly.

Cruz isn’t the dumbest person in the Senate, but he may be the most craven. The competition is stiff, tho

“We are acting not to thwart the democratic process, but rather to protect it,” the group claimed.

Now that’s a fascist I haven’t heard of in a very long time.

This is a craven stunt. Just ask yourself this: whom do you think Cruz, Hawley, et al. want to run against in 2024? Trump (like we’d even have an election!) or Biden?

Of course Cruz jumps in.

What a complete, self-serving, bellicose, self aggrandizing asshole.

He thinks he is so goddamn smart, but he is truly one of the most dislikable and arrogant people I have ever encountered.

BETO tried, but there are a lot of naive people in this state. :frowning_face: :frowning_face: :frowning_face:

Joining Cruz’s desperate effort, include Republican Sens. Ron Johnson (WI), James Lankford (OK), Steve Daines (MT); John Kennedy (LA), Marsha Blackburn (TN), and Mike Braun (IN).

Uno ) thankfully, this is Ron Johnson’s last term.

Dos ) Lankford n Kennedy are clearly trying to avoid primary challenges in 2022.

Tres ) imagine if you’re Todd Young.
