Thank God we’re rid of RINOs Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker!
I am surprised how so many on here take any kind of good news and turn it into bad. Its like reading democrat comments. No matter what happens, its not good enough
Not sure that this is actually true. Where did you get this information?
“Trump WON.
He WILL get his WIN.
One way or another”.
YES, he WILL!!!
“I am surprised how so many on here take any kind of good news and turn it into bad. Its like reading democrat comments. No matter what happens, its not good enough”
You’re right. And after Trump wins, most of them will go away.
The state legislators would decide..not the US House.
“It’s a good start but where are Tim Scott, Tom Cotton and Rand Paul???”
Please add Rubio and Scott.
Florida start calling them.
Perdue’s term ends January 3, and the results of the January 5 runoff won’t be certified for a couple weeks, so Perdue won’t be a Senator on January 6 unless Perdue appoints him (if he even can).
too little, too late
Those are the same people who post preposterous articles from MSM Narrative agitprop machines precisely so they can make identically preposterous statements. They freely admit they've been banned from Disqus and Facebook because of replies they've made on MSM site comment pages, so they simply want to swag on FR.
Well, there is your answer.
True but there are only a few days to go, time has almost run out, so I don't see the lazy state Republican legislatures doing anything in that brief time. Given the extent of nationwide RINO-dom, I give Trump only a 5% chance of reelection. As for the two Georgia Senate races, I have no idea how they'll turn out. I won't be surprised if both Republicans win, both Dems win, or it's a 50-50 split.
I have to say, I’m impressed.
All this lawsuit stuff was nonsense, there are no Federal Constitutional issues in play and the courts have no authority over State appointment of Electors anyway.
But an Electoral Commission? That’s EXACTLY what should happen, Congress is the ONLY body with authority over the process, and I am very impressed that these guys would sign such a statement.
Of course, nothing will come of it. But, anyway, a few flickers in the dying embers of the country. Nice work.
“Cut to the chase...are they challenging or not???”

RTFA!!!
“Accordingly, we intend to vote on January 6 to REJECT the electors from disputed states as not ‘regularly given’ and ‘lawfully certified’ (the statutory requisite), unless and until that emergency 10-day audit is completed.” (Emphasis added)
Is that the spoon-feeding you were whining for?

Thank you, yes, Spoonfeedimus Maximus! Job accomplished.

That’s why I call them FLeepers. They flee from hope like a vampire runs away from sunlight.
Of course not.
What you refer to as the "GOP Senate" is quite pleased with the outcome here.
Would not say virtue signaling to the base...the correct term is pandering....surprised they didn’t include a PO Box where you can send your contributions...
I think it’s pathetic how the Trump supporters are being used by the politicians..
I think it’s a good sign that the mailbox is full. That means they are being inundated with calls from constituents.
How do you figure?
As it stands now, roughly a dozen Senators and maybe up to 140 Congressional reps plan to object to the EC votes. When they do, both the House and Senate will convene separately, debate "up to" 2 hours (House will be ~30 seconds, most likely), and vote what to do. Only if BOTH the House and Senate agree (which they won't) will anything change in relation to who's inaugurated on 1/20.
Hate to say it, but anyone hoping for a 2nd Trump term starting 1/20/21 had better start getting used to the idea that is not happening, barring some totally unforseen miracle OR this audit (which is also unlikely to happen), followed by at least 3 big EC vote states changing their original certification.
“Accordingly, since we know that our colleagues in the House will not agree to also vote to reject the electors, we are confident in virtue-signaling to our base through this futile gesture without actually changing the outcome of the election.”
I believe you have correctly summarized this letter from Cruz et al.
The GOP is doing nothing more than creating a ‘talking point’ by advocating a 10 day audit of the fraud.
The GOP has done nothing in the six contested states to do a forensic audit during the past two months, even with the Legislatures in those six contested states controlled by the GOP.
Nice letter Ted, but I am not buying.
