Three days, Monday, the 14th, the Electoral College will put the final nails in the moving boxes he has packed for his move to Mar-E-Lager
Everyone has a price, there is still time to bribe the members of the Electoral College with the money Trump & his cronies embezzled from the government in the last four years.

It isn't over until ahole Trump is in prison or dead.

Top Republican lawyer DEMOLISHES Trump’s last-ditch Texas lawsuit ON FOX NEWS
 
Right on cue... (on not seating seditious repubs) Adam Schiff says "we don't want to become them." Just let them keep tearing your country apart then?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi weights in.

This just lends more credence to Rep Pascrell's concern and Speaker Pelosi may agree to block those 126 members from seating.

This list is quite informative.

Mongo has been beating the Republicans-are-stupid drum for quite some time. Some in the party are eagerly proving him more than correct. They are stooping to levels I would have found unfathomable only a few short years ago. Some in the GOP have their heads firmly up Trump's ass - and they like the smell!

Some Senators still prefer to have dignity:
  • Sasse (R-NE): "Since Election Night, a lot of people have been confusing voters by spinning Kenyan Birther-type, ‘Chavez rigged the election from the grave’ conspiracy theories, but every American who cares about the rule of law should take comfort that the Supreme Court — including all three of President Trump’s picks — closed the book on the nonsense,"
  • Cornyn (R-TX): “I do not understand the legal theory. I don’t want other states having a chance to change Texas law based on a similar effort. If you can do it for the election, you can do it if somebody wanted to challenge, for example, Texas law on the Second Amendment,”
  • Thune (R-SD): “I just don’t know why a state like Texas, which never wants anybody telling them what to do, now wants to tell a bunch of other states how to run their elections. I doubt the Supreme Court will take it up,”
This exchange is informative:

Nothing against prayer, but why do some people revert to it as an actual actionable activity? "Thoughts and prayers to the victims", not sensible gun control laws. "Pray that God overturns the election." (Just a thought: maybe God wanted Biden?)

It's because "thoughts and prayers" are very cheap and require no thought, action, or sacrifice for the person saying it. Actually doing something and caring for other people is hard and often requires difficulties for the person trying to make the world a better place. There are cost involved, and those people don't give a shit about paying that cost to help anybody but themselves or at best people on their side.

It's also just a lot easier for those people to be charlatans than to actually follow the most important tenets for the religion they pretend to care about. It also allows people who follow the charlatans to feel better about themselves as they can pretend to to join with somebody religious and not do any self-reflection or soul searching about themselves.

Same shit as the Line "I'll put it in God's Hands" Just a worthless dodge.

Thanks @D-rock and @bubb. It was mainly a rhetorical question.

The rule book of those praying says (in translation of course) "Love thy neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” No need to pray, just read the book you're supposedly following.

Kind of. Those who aren't rich and vote republican are stupid. The ones in positions of power vary from stupid to intelligent, but they're all dangerous. Before 2010 I didn't really care much about politics, but living in the US during the tea party takeover even I saw the threat to the US and the entire world, and the decade since seems only to have validated those concerns.
Any movement whose core tenet relies on denial of truth and adherence to a fabrication poses a threat to our society. Anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers, republicans, are all minority groups wielding an inequitable amount of power to do real, measurable damage to the rest of us. It needs to be stopped somehow, but I don't know how and I haven't heard from anyone else who does yet.
We're very much in a dark age as a species and a civilization.

the next guy might not be so dumb.

There will absolutely be more threats by far more competent people. I'm sure they are out there now, just as shocked as we are that he's made it this far, and making notes on how they would have done better. This republican party needs to be stamped out. There's nothing wrong with having a conservative party, but republicans haven't been conservative for a long time, they're extremists.
