Arizona governor silences Trump’s call, certifies election

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said Wednesday that it was President Donald Trump on the phone when he silenced a call from the White House while in the middle of signing papers certifying election results showing Trump narrowly lost the state.

Ducey said he returned the call after the event but repeatedly declined to talk about his discussion with the president, though he did say Trump never asked him not to sign the certification of Arizona’s election.

“The President has got an inquisitive mind,” Ducey said. “And when he calls he’s always got a lot of questions, and I give him honest answers, direct feedback and my opinion when it’s necessary. And that’s all I’m going to say about it.”

Trump has always gone out of his way to congratulate and praise Ducey. Now he will begin to see the reality.

We may end up losing this battle but we can never give up this fraud fight. Those machines have to be gone. Other solutions have to be implemented. If we can’t vote our way out of these tyrants then we are done. All this talk of future elections is laughable and I don’t know what some people are smoking on here when they mention it.

As NONE of us truly knows what is going to happen with the various court activities, what is to be gained by joining the chorus?

It ain't over 'til it's over, and IF Biden successfully plays usurper, then it is time for a new game ... undefined at this point.

Well said.

The GOP has moved beyond Trump

President Trump believed that defeating 16 Republicans and winning the nomination, followed by winning the election, gave him authority over the Party (like after a hostile takeover in business).

And, there is a frequent, but false, idea among actual core Republicans that government should run like a business, when of course the two things are nothing alike.

The result was continuous hostile, often underground, opposition to the Trump presidency from almost all elected Republicans.

When he took his hand off the Bible, he needed lots and lots of help from elected Republicans to set up a functioning government (I'm looking at you, Mr. Pence), and he got exactly none.

Now, maybe they offered and he wouldn't take it. I don't know.

But most of the "help" he got wasn't from people willing to be loyal to him and his agenda, but rather from people who wanted to use his authority to further their own agenda.

And, naturally, the course of history would have been changed if Jeff Sessions, Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan had DENOUNCED the Mueller investigation, refused to facilitate it in any degree, and had gone to the President and told him to fire Rosenstein, fire Mueller, fire whoever replaced Comey, and that they would have his back 100%.

The question, in retrospect, for the dying GOP is, "Why did you permit the Mueller investigation to start and to exist when you KNEW PERFECTLY WELL it's purpose was to paralyze YOUR Republican President?"

The failure to do that was like drinking poison, which is why the body is mortally ill right now.

And nobody needs your negativity....we’re all aware of the evil that has gripped our power structures.....we know that Trump alone cannot save us....but it’s also true that our enemies want us to give up, and our only hope of defeating them is to not give up..... Sorry, but I don’t think you’re much of a soldier

If things shakeout in a Biden presidency without accountability for the fraud, it will be time for Republicans to adopt that same winning strategy. There are 3,142 counties in the US. Trump won most of them. A mere 3,000 additional votes in each county would deliver nearly 10 million extra votes. Obviously in critically corrupt states, the number per county needs to be higher than in Republican states.

In the next election, Republicans should absentee-manufacture an extra 3,000 votes per county (on average), but reserve their existence until democrat fraudsters have fully reported. Once big city votes are complete, Republican absentee votes can be “discovered” and added to the totals.

Yep; that’s Douchy Ducey. A real scummy RINO

I wish all of you holding the torch for the dying GOP would stop calling 85% of elected Republican officials Republicans "in name only".

Wake the F up!

THEY are the real Republicans. THEY display what the Republican Party is all about.

YOU, who support America's continued existence as a nation, YOU are Republicans in name only to the extent that you cling to ideas that the Republican Party has opposed since 1928.

He picked a stiff for senate appointment. He will be history when up for election. These guys never learn. At least in florida we dispatched Christ now flying his true dem colors. Face it since Goldwater the gop has been wearing out in az.

There will be no "next election." There will never be another election. The Republicans have abandoned us.

Oath Keepers are like leprachauns and Santa. They do not exist.

And nobody needs your negativity

Your kind would read intelligence reports of an ambush, and plow in full steam ahead while your men got massacred.

All of the "intel" I read is that we are surrounded and almost out of ammunition.

We keep hearing that the SC will save us in the end, but there isn't even a legal avenue to the court (much less one that will get us there in the next few days).

Stop attacking others because the news is depressing.

My suggestion to you is pray. Because God can overcome any obstacle. We need Him more than ever.

And if it is the Darkness ahead that we face, we will need Him even more.

The GOP has moved beyond Trump.

And if Biden is sworn in, then all conservatives must move beyond the GOP. Give those establishment bastards the shock of their lives. Just imagine if 80 million people who voted for Trump leave the GOP for a newly formed MAGA party. The GOP coffers will be empty. That's the only thing that counts with them.

You still refused to take a call from the President of the United States. When was the last time any governor did that?

Political decisions called “elections” will still occur. But yes, they will have become thoroughly corrupted in the heavily democrat cities where the vote tallying is controlled by party operatives. Which is why the rest of the US needs to adopt the same underhanded tactics that are permitted in courts today, or you are right, we will never have an honest election again.

The SOB will pay for this.

You think so? How? Who among these vermin has paid for their corruption before?
