Republicans’ attacks on the democratic process didn’t end on Jan. 6 — they’ve just changed form. Throughout 2021 and now continuing into 2022, GOP leaders have pursued endless “audits,” “investigations” and “reviews” of the 2020 election results that stage hunts for non-existent evidence of widespread voter fraud and keep former president Trump’s lie of a stolen election alive.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch
The GOP has no shame. Like Bull Dogs they keep pushing the lies untill they become the truth.
And this
The House investigators who are trying to piece together exactly what Donald Trump was up to when his supporters were ransacking the Capitol a year ago are being helped out by some of former Vice President Mike Pence’s closest allies, according to a report from Axios. The report states that some of Pence’s most senior staffers—including his former Chief of Staff Marc Short and ex-press secretary Alyssa Farah—have voluntarily offered up testimony without being subpoenaed. They told the site that investigators are keen to determine how long Trump held out against pleas to do something to halt the violence at the Capitol. Farah told Axios she’s spoken to the panel twice. “From the two I was in, you could see how much information they already had,” she said. “Those who are refusing to cooperate likely are doing so out of complete fealty to Donald Trump and not wanting to piss him off. But, secondarily, because they’re realizing the committee has quite a bit more information than they realized. And their involvement is known to a much greater degree than they realized.”
IOW, they are fucked.

many people felt — and probably still a sizable number in the country — feel that the election was stolen.”
These people should consult a popular bumper sticker I’ve seen for the last 4 years about the proper action to take with their fucking feelings.
I’d imagine that Pence is relieved that his old team is spilling the beans and not him. Despite everything he knows about Rumps disloyalty, he’d still parrot him.
Yeah, but for how long?
Hard to know. I haven’t ever had to sniff butt to get my next meal.
OT:
It’s 10 degrees here and snowing heavily, billions of tiny little flakes that look like dust. I tried to capture it on my cell but no good.
Somewhat OT: Stumbled on this over at emptywheel.com and thought it was worth sharing (starting the day off with a laugh!)
I saw that yesterday and I hope there are many more like him.
May this little snowball turn into an avalanche!
(Apropos snow… 
)
My guess is that it’s all with Mikey’s blessings…but that he will maintain they all “went rogue” on him, 'cause he still thinks he’s got a chance at the Oval Office.
You said it. They stink on ice.
This is where I have a problem with Wisconsin.
Yes, the Assembly is dominated by Vos and his cronies, I get that the Dems don’t have much of a voice.
However, they do have a voice in the media if they choose to use it. I’ve posted this morning on the WIS Dems website saying they should be screaming and yelling about all of this in the media to the point where they have at least equal if not dominant coverage than Vos. Right now the WISDems look complacent and beaten. If they want to take back the assembly, they at least need to express their displeasure and their anger that he’s wasting this much time on stupid stuff that does nothing for anyone on either side of the political spectrum.
Gerrymandering will prevent the Dems from taking back the Assembly. Fair Maps isn’t finished with us yet, but we apparently can only take baby steps in order to get a fairer map through the corrupt WI-SC

In the meantime, someone on the Dem side of the Assembly needs to step up and become the nag in the media that says enough is enough.
Indeed!
…and keep former president Trump’s lie of a stolen election alive.
What a shame.
For the Trump family, for the Republican Party, for Wisconsin, for the country.
