Thanks for those clips!

I would like the media and J6C to correct the record that there was NO D Fraud at all, but the Rs (at the very same time they were screaming about a stolen election and whipping up their morans to a vicious fever pitch) were engaged at that very same time in the largest election fraud in history…corrupting and co-opting whole parts of the federal govt. in a multi-pronged effort to disenfranchise 10s of millions of voters.

I am not trying to apportion blame, but there has been nothing more lopsided in my memory than how the Rs and Media portrayed this vs. reality.

ETA: I should note that was exactly the point Melber made in one of those clips, but it was just a sentence in passing “the same people who were screaming about election fraud, were actually engaged in election fraud” or something to that effect. To me, the message the Country needs to hear as November '22 approaches, there was no D fraud AT ALL, and your beloved R party committed more crimes in a short month or two than all election malfeasance in U.S. history combined. It wasn’t just Chump, the entire R apparatus willingly, eagerly joined in to break every law they encountered.

I don’t know if this has been addressed before, but could we stop referring to them as “alternate” electors?
“Alternate” implies that they had some legitimacy, somehow.
How about calling them “sham” electors?

It’s always been about projection. Screaming about what others weren’t doing while they were doing it.

A sign of mental illness and 1/3 of the country is all in on it.

In Trump’s case - yes - because he always has…

I heard Ron Johnson stumble over the pronunciation of “alternate” while he was garbling his response.

You are correct, lots of battles to fight but the RW wins nearly all of these soundbite battles. We now have 7/10 of the media-verse calling it FAKE electors scheme which is best, FRAUDULENT electors scheme which is not quite as good, and we cannot allow the RW to wrench this back to “ALTERNATE”.

Getting it to ILLEGAL FAKE ELECTOR CONSPIRACY is the ultimate. We can do it!

All of the willful idiotic intentional “cast my dead mother’s ballot” try to vote in 2 different states, phoney up a second or third identity to vote … lie about my residence were done by crackpot wack-job Trump nuts … imagining that they were Don Quixote striking a loyal blow for Trump… thinking that their passionate desire to have Trump win justified breaking the law…absolute fools thinking a vote here or there was worth committing a criminal act.

…and it seems that the one or two reported instances of “fraudlent voting” by a Democrat were errors or misunderstandings - with no intention to defraud … or voting administration mix ups.

Oh yes. People like this usually have little more than parking tix during their lives suddenly have Feds with search warrants going through their computers and underwear drawers. I would pee my pants, especially if I knew I was facing federal criminal charges. Time in a cell has got to be one helluva reality check for these dumb bastards who never imagined they would play the role of a fox in a fox hunt. ( I recall a jr high teaching warning me, “Don’t play the role of the Fool”.)
This is how the feds got the mafia chieftains – start from the bottom, get some to flip. Soon we’ll see a counterpart to Sammy the Bull. Let the schadenfreude begin.

Remember when oil prices spiked and gas prices went up over $5 nationwide at the end of the W administration? Me neither…

We need to reframe this. Alternate Pro Trump Elector? Try Fraudulent Pro Trump Elector. Alternate makes it sound legit.

Get as many negative terms crammed in there as possible, without making it too wordy.

The Shadow said, “Donald John Trump! Did you really think you were going to get away with it? Did you really think your shambling, crude Borscht-Belt comedy speeches would keep people from believing their own eyes?”

Jeffrey Rosen stood firm. Good for him, but he was watching a crime being committed first hand in front of his nose, and he was head of DOJ, and did not start an investigation or do anything to actually stop the Coup. He just refused to be part of it!

You underestimate the evil that religious conservatives are capable of. They will do anything for sex, power and money.
