Mark Levin was so upset with today’s electoral college result, he took the night off.

“Electors had been deluged with emails, phone calls and letters urging them not to support Trump.”
The AP deliberately and intentionally left out the part about death threats.

“It’s time to track down the Texas traitors and show them some frontier justice.”

At least one of the traitor electors (Suprun) is a transplant from New York.

so now the left have to find another angle to throw at him- one today said there are 3 psychiatrists demanding he be given a mental exam because he’s supposedly ‘out of touch with reality’- Expect the left to hammer that meme for awhile- there is also an effort to have him impeached for ‘violating’ some law— Hopefully someone is keeping track of all the attempts to either legitimize trump or to force him out of the presidency- so we can throw it back in the left’s face when they complain about another gop candidate ‘not declaring that they will accept the results’!

I hope all the Republican electors who received death threats don’t delete or throw them away. I think if they turn them over to a incoming justice dept. we may see some going away for a long prison term.

Who was the second Texas Traitor?

Check for the other elector whose bankruptcy was mysteriously lifted recently.

Yes, we kind of got the hint when they were trying to start World War 3 earlier in the day, because honestly, that’s the only thing they have left.
