The RNC is actually the problem in the country. It shows blatantly.

When you support peeps that don’t want to fight, good luck.

The Republican Senate covered for Joe, James, and Hunter Biden and refused to call any of them, after promising they would.

Dems Vote as Bloc, and even the Dems on the Supreme Court Vote together.

Lindsey Graham sabotaged Trump and they ran out the Clock.

Fake news. Expect much more of this. I expect the courts to rule for Trump and the legislatures to enforce that ruling.

This shows the leftist are scared of our path to victory by effectively dismissing it as crazy, “righteous anger” to come next ...

The very Republican lawmakers who’d have to act in a questionable proposal to hand Trump the electoral college say there’s no way they’d do it.

If I were a Republican legislature in any of the disputed states, I would consider two things. First, will I get re-elected if I don’t support President Trump. Second, I would not let anyone know I was considering this constitutional option to a hopelessly fraudulent and disputed election, because the Dims are relentless and dangerous. No one wants to be harangued for weeks before an actual vote is necessary.

This reminds me of an old Political cartoon from about 60 years ago.

A girl labeled Foreign Countries is setting in the lap of a smiling Nikita Khrushchev.
Uncle Sam is standing looking very mad, and she turns and says to Uncle Sam...”Of course I love you. I’m wearing your ring(Foreign Aid) aren’t I!”

Republican lawmakers, however, appear to be holding steady. “The Pennsylvania General Assembly does not have and will not have a hand in choosing the state’s presidential electors or in deciding the outcome of the presidential election,” top Republican legislative leaders, state Sen. Jake Corman and Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, wrote in an October op-ed. Their offices said Friday they stand by the statement.

The Republican leader of Wisconsin’s Assembly, Robin Vos, has long dismissed the idea, and his spokesperson, Kit Beyer, said he stood by that position on Thursday.

In Michigan, legislative leaders say any intervention would be against state law. Even though the GOP-controlled legislature is investigating the election, state Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey told radio station WJR on Friday, “It is not the expectation that our analysis will result in any change in the outcome.”

Yes. I remember. So much for all the “useless foreign aid”. I also remember Nikita Khrushchev saying “we’ll bury you”.

Yep. We have been getting a run of the same negative crap from various sources.... but still the exact same negative crap. This issue has nothing to do with the fact that the Supreme Court may make a ruling that the bogus votes were not the will of the people.

You can attack the messenger but the quotes from the GOP folks in the states are real.
