Pence will be presented with two slates or electors from 6 states.

No, he won’t. He’s only going to get the slate of electors that was certified by each state.

And outmaneuver the criminal US Superior Court.

The reality was that the Israelites would die crossing the Red Sea.

The reality was that Lazarus was dead forever. The reality was that a giant would kill David. The reality was that five loaves of bread and two fish wouldn’t feed 5,000 men, plus women and children.

Excellent, Madam! Next time please include:

The reality is that the Gadarene Swine, [Rinos, Trolls, MainSwine Media, etc.,] aren't going to drown themselves.

“Yet we try to convince ourselves he will save Donald J. Trump’s Presidency. Seriously, why?”

I don’t know why.
I don’t know why not.
Christians shouldn’t look at every situation coming from a human perspective.

“Christopher Ruddy is a Deeper.”

Yes. He was raving about what a great president Hillary would be four-five years ago.

I found this account of what happened in 2005 when Democrats objected to the inclusion of Ohio’s electoral votes.

https://www.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/06/electoral.vote.1718/

“If one member of each body of Congress objects, congressional rules require that lawmakers return to their chambers to vote on the merits.

“A simple majority vote in each chamber would overturn the challenge — something that should be easily achieved in the GOP-controlled Congress.”

https://www.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/06/electoral.vote/

“Alleging widespread ‘irregularities’ on Election Day, a group of Democrats in Congress objected earlier Thursday to the counting of Ohio’s 20 electoral votes.

“The challenge was defeated 267-31 by the House and 74-1 by the Senate, clearing the way for the joint session to count the votes from the remaining states.”

So in 2005 the vote on whether or not to count electoral votes that were objected to was done by simple majorities in both the House and the Senate. I would expect the same procedure to be followed in 2021.

Well now we agree. Except Pence will go coward. Pence was brought in as VP to work the Senate and use his DC connections. He will NEVER go against the swamp. He may be a good man and a good Christian (only God knows) but he was in the swamp before he was Trump’s VP.

Pence is the President of the Senate. McConnell has no power in this activity except as a party leader, trying to stop any other Senator from objecting to a state’s electors when Pence opens them. There is no Senate vote. Pence will be presented with two slates or electors from 6 states. He must decide which are legitimate and which are not, or he may exclude them entirely. If that happens, nobody will make 270 and the election is thrown to the house.

Pence doesn't decide anything. If any votes from any state are challenged, or if there are more than one slate of electors from a given state, then Congress decides whether to accept them or which to accept. If either House votes down the challenge then the votes are counted. And unless both houses vote to accept the second slate then the slate that is certified by state authorities is the one that is counted.

Trump is a man of peace. Consistently. I don’t expect that to change.

At least Biden won’t be able to act until February.
Meanwhile the gov will be shut down. Though that never seems to save us any money.
And maybe news of the pork and cronyism can be gotten past the media to the people.

Gonna be fun to watch the media play this. Maybe folks will finally get fed up with the media just saying “Orange Man Bad!

In Arabic they say Inshallah. It means if God wills it. It is also is used to put off work and do nothing but that is another discussion. I remember I used to hear people say “all in Gods good time.” Trump may lose and there may a reason for that because something good will come from it Inshallah. Or he will go down fighting but expose he corruption and change will be brought abut all in God's good time.

We are just pawns in the game of life. Kings, potentates and Presidents are still just pawns in life. When they die they soil themselves just like the rest of us and then become bug food like the rest of us. They are rarely remembered fondly as history tends to judge politicians badly.

Truth be told I do not see God's hand in any of this. I see our failures in the past and present to reign in our leaders. Because there was free money to be had. We sold our nations souls for Obama phones.

“Dick Morris has yet to be right about anything.”
IDK about that.

I hear he has a way to guess shoe sizes with his eyes closed...

“See? We agree it was fraud.”

In order to act, they needed judicial cover - a finding of fraud adjudicated by a court.

Never fail to crack me up when people say that the Constitution’s requirement that the VP “shall” open “all” the votes means that the VP doesn’t have to open “all” the votes. Just the ones he likes...

Glad there will be those slates there, but I doubt anyone will back them since they just represent the views of a few Members of those legislatures and not that of a majority.

Thank you Madam,

(“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.” Isaiah 55:8)

Keep praying ! For all we know this is a test of our faith.

God agreed to save Sodom & Gomorrah if as few as 10 good men could be found.

I’m sort of sure 10 good men could be found on FR alone. But surely in the entire country God may see 10 good men.

I do believe the president is a man of faith. His first election was a miracle.

Keep faithful, never stop praying. If it’s not Gods will we will need to pray all the more....... 🙏 🙏 🙏

The main reason we are so ignorant is because of the education system. (In my opinion.)
