Turd-2 is attempting to condition Americans to accepting military troops on the streets. What's next? An executive order forcing American citizens to quarter military soldiers in their homes?

You're relaxing in the boiling water and loving it. Because you THINK that all the negative repercussions will affect only the people you hate. But, if/when that happens, you'll probably find a way to blame someone other than donald trump. Such as the "deep state". Your delusions are clearly unshakable.

Joe Conservative said...

Think of it this way, he's normalizing Republicans to accept totalitarianism for the next Democrat elected President...

Joe Conservative said...

Oh, wait, after the 2020 coup, do we still "elect" Presidents?

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

You're talking about the attempted coup in which donald trump illegally tried to remain in office?

Joe Conservative said...

The one where Nancy Pelosi used parliamentary procedures to deny credentialing votes on Trumps slates of electors?

Joe Conservative said...

Muh...bombs! Muh... Fedsurrection!

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Nancy Pelosi was supposed to HELP republicans replace real electors with fake ones and HELP republicans steal the presidency from the candidate who won the election, Joe Biden? 🤔🙄

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Minus: Muh...bombs! Muh... Fedsurrection!

Those are all your delusions.

The regular process of confirming electors was not followed, ergo all counts made thereafter, illegitimate.

Via Copilot...

This claim is not accurate according to the historical record and legal framework governing the 2021 electoral vote count.

🧾 What Actually Happened on January 6–7, 2021.

Congress convened a joint session to count the electoral votes, as required by the Electoral Count Act of 1887.

Vice President Mike Pence presided over the session in his role as President of the Senate.

The process was temporarily interrupted by the Capitol breach, but resumed later that evening once the building was secured.

Members of Congress submitted formal objections to the electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania. These objections were debated and then rejected by majority vote in both chambers, as outlined by law.

Other objections were raised for Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin, but were not sustained due to lack of support from a senator.

On January 7, Congress completed the count and certified Joe Biden’s victory with 306 electoral votes.

🧠 Why the “Illegitimate Count” Claim Falls Apart.

The procedures followed were consistent with the Electoral Count Act, which has governed this process for over a century.

Interruptions due to the Capitol attack did not invalidate the process; Congress reconvened and resumed the count lawfully.

No evidence has emerged that the process was structurally or procedurally compromised in a way that would render the results illegitimate.

🧩 What the Blog Comment Reflects.

It’s not a factual critique -- it’s a narrative reframing. By declaring the process “not followed", the commenter is expressing emotional rejection of the outcome, not legal or procedural truth. It’s a way to delegitimize the result by casting doubt on the ritual itself.

Interruptions prevented hearing the case for alternate electors. Go read the transcripts. And when the hearings were resumed, they skipped right to the votes. :)

Notice how your "narrative" skips around between a "joint session"

Congress convened a joint session to count the electoral votes

and separate sessions in the House and Senate.

These objections were debated and then rejected by majority vote in both chambers, as outlined by law.

It was the House sessions under Nancy Pelosi that stiffed the Electors via the "interruption"... and threw the final vote into the later "joint session".

A successful Parliamentary coup d'etat.

Joe Conservative said...

But please, other than some House debate about the AZ electors, show me where all the other state objections were debated in the House.

Joe Conservative said...

They all went along to get along after Mitch the Snitch gave his "muh... democracy! Lets vote!" speech.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

There was an attempted coup. It even had a name. They called it the "Green Bay Sweep". It failed because Mike Pence didn't go along with it. The backup plan was to make Mike Pence flee so he could be replaced by Chuck Grassley. That also failed when Mike Pence refused to flee.

The bombs at the DNC and RNC was the back up plan in case the incitement of trump supporter to enter the Capitol ("you have to fight like hell or you won't have a democracy" & "trial by combat") didn't work.

Minus: But please, other than some House debate about the AZ electors, show me where all the other state objections were debated in the House.

Via Copilot...

I’ve reviewed the Congressional Record Vol. 167, No. 4 from January 6, 2021, and the short answer is: no, [Minus] does not have a valid point. The record clearly shows that objections were heard, debated, and voted on...

This isn’t a case of suppressed debate -- it’s a case of procedural misunderstanding or deliberate reframing. The blogger is likely interpreting the rejection of objections as evidence that they weren’t heard, when in fact they were debated and defeated.

Did they catch the DNC/RNC bombers? Did they persecute the Fedsurrection organizers? "We have to march to the Capitol...THIS WAY...."

The record clearly shows that objections were heard, debated, and voted on...

Except in the House, where they only voted on one state... Arizona.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Minus: Did they catch the DNC/RNC bombers?

Is the trump FBI still investigating? Or is this (like the Epstein files) another Turd-2 coverup?

Minus: Did they persecute the Fedsurrection organizers?

The organizers of the imaginary Fedsurrection won't be prosecuted. Because they don't exist. Will the Turd-2 DOJ prosecute them anyway? Ray Epps was persecuted re your BS tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.

Minus: Except in the House, where they only voted on one state... Arizona.

What actually happened is that some objections failed to meet the procedural threshold, and others were debated and voted down. (via Copilot).

They didn't vote re the other states because the members of the House agreed there was no reason to vote to replace valid/actual electors with fake electors.

The Great Doddering Turdster djt and his ass kissing trumpublican shitstain party are doing everything they can to dismantle and destroy our institutions, our republic, and the democratic principles it is founded on.

Authoritarian fascism is their ideology and their faith. Grounded in white supremacy, paternalism, greed, and a disrespect for the rule of law and common decency they are but self serving ignorant sheeple to a malignant narcissist and pathological liar.

Joe Conservative said...

That was the later "joint" session. Your AI isn't very smart. Only one vote was ever taken on the House side, AZ... as the record indicates. Parliamentary coup facilitated by the "interruption" to preclude Process.

Joe Conservative said...

The government is being "downsized". Get used to it.

Les Carpenter said...

America and her people are being f**ked by a huge idiot and his party of ignorant sheeple.

Joe Conservative said...

Les non dupes errent!

^^More projection^^

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Minus illogic = voting to certify the election of the legitimate winner is a "coup" 🤔 🙄😵‍💫

Joe Conservative said...

^^more deNile^^

Joe Conservative said...

Use of the word "legitimate" above has been proven false by the Congressional Record itself.
