Also, he and Manchin are friends from childhood. It's very interesting he went public though.

The cynical part of me says it's purely for recruiting.

The hopeful part of me says it is because he knows it will require very public pressure to move Manchin a millimeter.

This article is on the button. You investigate the fake EC certificates, and roll this thing up from the bottom:

We now know who headed up the fake EC filings. These people should be prosecuted, no need to wait on the House Hearings to take action:

CNN
Trump campaign officials, led by Rudy Giuliani, oversaw efforts in December 2020 to put forward illegitimate electors from seven states that Trump lost, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the scheme.

The sources said members of former President Donald Trump's campaign team were far more involved than previously known in the plan, a core tenet of the broader plot to overturn President Joe Biden's victory when Congress counted the electoral votes on January 6.

Giuliani and his allies coordinated the nuts-and-bolts of the process on a state-by-state level, the sources told CNN. One source said there were multiple planning calls between Trump campaign officials and GOP state operatives, and that Giuliani participated in at least one call. The source also said the Trump campaign lined up supporters to fill elector slots, secured meeting rooms in statehouses for the fake electors to meet on December 14, 2020, and circulated drafts of fake certificates that were ultimately sent to the National Archives.

And these are now pretty clearly tied to the Eastman memo - here
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL January 6 scenario 7 states have transmitted dual slates of electors to the President of the Senate.

The 12th Amendment merely provides that “the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.” There is very solid legal authority, and historical precedent, for the view that the President of the Senate does the counting, including the resolution of disputed electoral votes (as Adams and Jefferson did while Vice President, regarding their own election as President), and all the Members of Congress can do is watch.
There is little doubt that the "Disputed electoral votes" are the forged elector slates.

In a normal world? Heads would be rolling. In this one? Who knows? God I would love to see Rudy go to jail but I have a hard time believing anything will happen.

I am fairly confident nothing will happen. We aren't the country people think we are. One thought - just remember that Mueller prepared indictment ready material in his report about Trump. Several legal experts said it was easily a strong enough case for a grand jury. Yet...crickets. We aren't a rule of order nation when it comes to the elite. And it is breaking us.

It's always amazing how the Republicans dig up something the Democrats did, do it much worse, and then say, "See. Look at these hypocrites, the Democrats once sent a second slate in 1960. Nyah."

They already don't. If you were to think what kletocratic autocracy looked like...would it look much different from this? We can't pass any laws. The Supreme Court has defined bribery to meaningless. Cruz's case is about to knock over the last peg on that one. Business leaders effectively run our country. Anyone who opposes "the economy" is threatened with death by people who are essentially fighting to be wage slaves. They don't even meaningfully have to do much more except continue blocking progress and the rich will continue to feast. We're already cooked.
Fuck.

I see why some don't think.
Agreed.

Well that sucks.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/28/politics ... index.html
A Pennsylvania appellate court on Friday struck down a law that allows no-excuse absentee voting, saying it violates the state constitution.

The law, known as Act 77, was enacted in late 2019 with strong bipartisan support. But in September, more than a dozen Republicans in the state House -- most of whom voted for the law -- filed suit, asserting that the changes made to absentee voting were unconstitutional and should have been pursued through a constitutional amendment placed before voters.

FWIW the PA Supreme Court is expected to reverse this.

It would seem the NSA protecting the integrity of elections is a good thing, except Trump already proved his loyalists weaponized large portions of the NSA as part of his political reach. I clearly remember Trump NSA and immigration memos shutting down borders and detaining people to/from Canada without cause and without so much as Executive Order or acts of Congress as means of addressing "the Dreamers."

Just wait until October of 2024 and have the Biden administration admit that, yes, Trump really won. He was elected in 2020, and he's stepping down so that Trump can take his rightful place, effective immediately. Trump would jump at the chance.

You make the extremely optimistic assumption that there would be an election in 2024 under such a scenario. And why give him a year to marshall resources?

No, I made a pre-caffeine typo there. It was supposed to be '2024.' His ego would give him a month.

Even then, plenty of time to cancel elections on the basis that Biden stole his time in office or whatever.

In 30 days? Plenty of time to try. It's snark, though. Not a serious decision. If I could figure it out, then there would be dozens of people around him who would, too, not to mention that it would be in the front page of every paper withing an hour.

The whole thing would probably kick off a shooting war, but it would almost be worth it to see the look on his face when he realizes that he's off the ticket a few weeks from the election.

The theory is that the election was stolen and thus neither Biden or Harris are legitimate.
