HARRISBURG — The new session of the Pennsylvania Senate got off to a chaotic start Tuesday, with Republicans refusing to seat a Democratic senator whose election victory has been certified by state officials.

Amid high emotions and partisan fingerpointing, Republicans also took the rare step of removing the Democratic lieutenant governor, John Fetterman, from presiding over the session. They apparently did so because they did not believe Fetterman was following the rules and recognizing their legislative motions.

I'm not sure what this will amount to, but I like seeing some of the PA legislatures willing to fight.

This is what a Trump Republican Party would look like.

Excellent.
Time for the ballot stealing Dems to start getting kicked vacuously in the groin. We need to engage in open war with these evil doers.

So all this dancing doesn’t mean a KRAP unless they send the Trump electors to congress

Fighters who recognize the stakes. Not cowards like Romney who only care about a Kennedy center ticket or a cocktail party.

If state legislatures chose, they oculd vote to negate the Biden electors and appoint Trump electors.

But they have not chosen to do so.

So far.

It’s coming down to do Pittsburgh and Philly rule the rest of the state? Does Detroit rule all of Michigan? Does Atlanta rule all of Georgia? Those are the places where the rigging happens. I guess we will see in the coming weeks.

This particular beneficiary of the massive Democrat vote fraud, the Senator whom the Republicans refused to seat, is a liberal incumbent from a marginal district near me. Like many Pennsylvania Democrats, both in the state legislature and the U.S. House, Brewster was trailing for at least a week or two AFTER the Nov. 3 election, until enough mail-in Democrat votes could be fabricated to drag him over the line to another term.

Note that what the Republicans did today is not in any way permanent. They merely want to delay seating the scumbag Democrat so the outcome of that election can be adjudicated in the courts.

Everyone already knows what that means as far as the end result.

“If state legislatures chose, they could vote to negate the Biden electors and appoint Trump electors.”

Wisconsin is doing just that on Thursday morning.
