Three Tweet Delusional Madness
Before even discussing the massive corruption which took place in the 2020 Election, which gives us far more votes than is necessary to win all of the Swing States (only need three), it must be noted that the State Legislatures were not in any way responsible for the massive….

….is therefore both illegal and invalid, and that would include the two current Senatorial Elections. In Wisconsin, Voters not asking for applications invalidates the Election. All of this without even discussing the millions of fraudulent votes that were cast or altered!

Yet Another Audit of Georgia’s Election
Please note, Yet another audit of Georgia’s election fails to find evidence of fraud
On Tuesday, December 29, the office of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger released a report on that audit — which, according to Atlanta Journal Constitution reporter Mark Niesse, “contradicted allegations that absentee ballots were rife with fraud.” Niesse notes that “there were 10 absentee ballots that had been accepted, but voter signatures didn’t match or signatures were missing” — and when Raffensperger’s office contacted those voters, they confirmed that they had, in fact, submitted the ballots.
“Eight voters had mismatched signatures, but the voters told investigators the signatures were legitimate,” Niesse explains. “Raffensperger, a Republican, said the audit results confirmed the election outcome again after two recounts — both by hand and machine — of all 5 million ballots cast in Georgia’s presidential election.”
Raffensperger’s office said that “no fraudulent absentee ballots were identified during the audit.”
Electoral College Results to Be Contested by Group of GOP Senators
The Wall Street Journal reports Electoral College Results to Be Contested by Group of GOP Senators
Eleven current and incoming Republican senators said they would vote to reject the Electoral College votes of some states on Wednesday as not “lawfully certified” unless Congress appoints a commission to conduct an emergency, 10-day audit of the election results.
Although none of the challenges are expected to succeed, they could slow down the process and give President Trump’s allies a high-profile chance to demonstrate their loyalty to him. The move also highlights deepening divisions within the Republican Party over whether to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election as legitimate. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and other Senate GOP leaders have congratulated Democrat President-elect Joe Biden and have urged their colleagues not to join in efforts to dispute the outcome.
The GOP senators who signed onto the effort are Ted Cruz of Texas, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Steve Daines of Montana, John Kennedy of Louisiana, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Mike Braun of Indiana. It was also joined by Senators-elect Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama.By law, Congress must hold a joint session on Jan. 6 to ratify Mr. Biden’s 306-232 Electoral College win. Objections from some Republican senators and House members are expected to force debate and votes in both chambers of Congress. Majorities in both the House and Senate would have to agree for the challenge to be successful, an extremely unlikely prospect given that Democrats control the House.
Dangerous Moves
Trump has had every chance to provide evidence of fraud and has failed to do so.
He has lost every court battle including some of his own appointees.
Yet he persists in nonsense.
These are dangerous moves by Republicans. It opens the door for further moves of this sort down the road by either party.
When one party holds both the House and Senate who knows what might happen in a close election.
Meanwhile, these preposterous shenanigan’s might easily cost Republicans both seats in the upcoming Georgia elections.
Flashback Addendum
Throwback to that time when Trump claimed Ted Cruz committed election fraud to beat him in Iowa. https://t.co/gsknJJqYHj

Mish
Trump is a life long looser who has attempted to wear the mask of a winner all of his life. History is not going to be kind to Mr. Trump.
Ugh, Mish the edit function isn’t working.
I just want to find 11,780 votes. Can you help me Brad? It’s all on tape too.
Beyond insane, but I guess that is 4-d chess, right?
Seasoned con man abusing power pressuring Georgia officials to commit election fraud
Proof of the alleged attempted election fraud has just recorded and released. The fraud commission should now morph into additional articles of impeachment.
Should have offered to make him Secretary of State of all 50 states in his new administration.
I can’t get a PS5 either!
Who is crazier? The squad or Cruz’s gang of 11, who incidentally turned down an invitation to go on cable news to explain their position
If these Trump supporters come to DC on the 6th and manage to disrupt the transition by some wild chance, the safest place in the world for capital ever after will be lost. By which I mean to say such an outcome will never be allowed to come to pass. Not to worry. These nuts aren’t going to go anywhere.
“Meanwhile, these preposterous shenanigan’s [should] cost Republicans both seats in the upcoming Georgia elections”
I know that if i was in Georgia, they would be the deciding factor for me, and I’d vote for both Democrats. I have been a Republican for most of my life, but the party has left sanity behind, and has become truly scary.
I mentioned on another forum that I’ve been a Republican my entire life. I’m re-registering as a Democrat. I am not going to be associated with what is now the moron party.
Why? Why not be unaffiliated? In Colorado, where I live, us UNs get all the primary ballots (usually just Dem and GOP). I then choose which primary to participate in. I can vote for the better of n Democrats or I can ratf–k the GOP by picking the most lightly general election failure.
In Florida you can only vote in your own party’s primary.
I am registered as a Libertarian at the moment, and up until this last election, have voted for a mix of people. Until the ghost of Trump is expunged, the Republican Party has no hope but to be a despicable rathole. The best hope for useful progress would seem to be to register as a Democrat, and fight the battle against Socialism by supporting moderate Democrats.
Mish thanks for your hard work and due diligence, Your a good man don’t ever change!.Have a great New Year and keep it going!
… As one of the first to receive the $600 slap in the face, it only validates the ignorance of Trumpism & Repulican’ts!
I spend 10 hours six days a week packing food for the many victims of Covid – 19 and I’m tired of the death & divisiveness caused by Trump’s failure as POTUS & BS crony Trumpism!…
Talk is cheap until you have to pay for it…Trumpism will pay massively!…
I understand Trump being upset about Russiagate. But he royally screwed up the pandemic respose therefore losing the election. You don’t burn down the house when you leave because you are a spoiled brat that didn’t get your way. I’m making a list of all the congress people supporting Trump’s extra-judicial claims here in the late innings, no way I’ll support them in the future. In fact, I’ll send a few bucks each to their opposition.
So Sleepy Chyna Joe gets 12 million more votes than Obummer, loses 400 more counties and loses 12 seats in house. That is statistically improbable. Hey Mish you moved out of a democrat cesspool, did you not learn anything?
What does a person who only wants the trains to run on time do under these circumstances? I feel like the guy in the parade riot in Animal House where he is saying, “All Is Well” as he is getting run over. A pox on all their houses.
lets see here, Biden gets 12 million more votes than Obummer, loses 400 more counties and loses 12 house seats,. yea that all adds up
There was proof of Russian interference and Trump never objected to it and hoped to benefit. Read the Mueller report. They just didn’t have evidence of collusion. Trump used his pardon power well. We can debate whether it occurred but there is no debate that it wasn’t proved
I do hope they remove the redactions in the report.
i’m more interested in the grand jury testimony. I hate to admit it but crazy Rudy out-foxed Robert Mueller. Mueller just didn’t have the appetite to get down in the ditches with Rudy
Kensian Klowns Abound!
Sounds great
“Trump diehards from across the country have organized their travel to Washington on “The Donald” forum. One of the hottest topics on the site is how protesters can bring guns to D.C., which would count as a local crime in nearly all circumstances under Washington’s strict gun laws. Others have talked about breaking into federal buildings or committing violence against law enforcement officers who try to stop them from storming Congress.
“I’m thinking it will be literal war on that day,” one popular comment posted last Wednesday read. “Where we’ll storm offices and physically remove and even kill all the D.C. traitors and reclaim the country.”
The Post-Election Proud Boys Meltdown Is Here, and It’s Ugly
ULTRANATIONALIST DRAMA
Kelly Weill
Both the November and December rallies in Washington saw violence, especially after nightfall. And that seems likely to be the case this coming rally too. Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio claimed in a post on conservative social media network Parler that some Proud Boys would dress in black to disguise themselves as left-wing “antifa” protesters.
“Watch out, January 6 — you ain’t gonna know who the fuck it is standing beside you,” prominent Proud Boy Joe Biggs said in a video posted to Parler.”
This is exactly what is needed. Without violent riots nationwide, Trump will not be able to declare martial law, and declare himself President “until such time as new elections can be held under his direct supervision”.
The “dangerous moves” were set in motion by 4 years of claiming the 2016 elections were rigged by Russia and that Trump was illegitimately elected.
Almost all the court cases were dismissed for lack of standing or other procedural arguments … almost none examined any evidence at all.
Most of the lawsuits were ludicrous on their face. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the attorneys that brought end up getting sanctioned, or at least warned. Really, though, there are not any/many actual allegations of fraud. The basic complaint is that the states made it too easy to vote, resulting in a higher than normal turnout. You can’t undo that, however. You can’t take votes that were cast according the rules in place at the time and un-count them.
Plus a few statistical anomalies that I have not seen anybody explain as yet.
And several hundred affidavits by observers/officials which I cannot judge.
The thing about statistics is that if there weren’t anomalies, it would be suspicious. That’s how statistics works. If a store has clerks to handle a customer every three minutes, and on average has a customer every four minutes, sometime there will be lines. If you flip 100 coins, you will very, very rarely get 50 heads, and sometimes you will get only 10, or less. The average viewer doesn’t understand statistics, and entirely misses that point, and thus thinks that things are are normal, are not normal.
As for the affidavits, I can’t judge them, either. My sense is that there were no more than is typical, and since this wasn’t a particularly close election, they aren’t substantial.
I dont know about Russia rigging the election. But i do remember trump standing in front of the cameras saying he would accept help from Russia. The shortly after wiki leaks dropped some emails. Plus his team admitted to meeting the Russians looking for info and decided not to use it.
This is evidence-free innuendo, and of the thinnest sort.
The bogus Steele dossier was actually sourced to Russian disinformation, it was later proved.
Dangerous times.
The polls consistently showed Biden further ahead than the election result. Clearly there was a massive fraud that stole votes from Biden.
Seriously, there was surely a fraud, but it was in voter suppression and crooked electoral boundaries, same as usual. And the weird idea that the party which is the king of electoral fraud would be the ones to get the rough end of it is farcical
This is a national embarrassment.
In Australia we can’t believe what is happening. I think it is an international embarrassment and feel for all the “sane” people of the US.
Nearly half the people in the US think Fat Donnie is some sort of sacred guru, amazing
Getting to a very dangerous situation. If they dont shut up this person for ever and he carries on even after leaving office, I am afraid another American civil war could happen and drag the whole world with it.
Wasn’t fruitcake season supposed to end this weekend?
Cruz is just proving himself to be a rank opportunist who would gladly ride roughshod over the Constitution he claims to love so much.
This really amounts to something very close to treason. All to try to be the guy who inherits the Trump base.
We know Trump is crazy…..Cruz is not….he’s just a calculating politician with an eye to the main chance.
I’ve been watching this develop. I will not rest easy until the Congress sends Trump down.
Cruz – Is this what he has to do to appeal to his Texan base? Seems hard to believe he needs to go this low. Or he is hoping for another try at the Presidency.
Oh, it’s definitely the latter, I’d say.
But then, the whole Texas Tea Party contingent benefits now from appealing to the Trump No-Nothings.
The lot of them…..Cruz, Patrick (formerly Goebbel), Gohmert….they’ve never done anything but show their asses….they appeal to the ignorant, the religious, and the rural.
How Texas got here from Anne Richards….would make the subject of a good book, except most of it would make you cry.
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.
Unfortunately sovereign immunity makes it difficult to sue the President for making knowingly mendacious statements. You can’t sue the King
The Georgia results are foreordained anyway.
I agree. Trump’s push for the $2000 handouts pretty much sealed the deal for the Democrats to win. This isn’t helping, but the Dems will win at least one seat, and probably both.
You misunderstood me.
I agree. Purdue and Loeffler are corrupt to the core. Never had a chance.
Yep, the results came in as expected. Good call. With Trump throwing tantrums, and tearing up the Constitution, Perdue and Loeffler were DOA.
Trump has a very casual relationship with the truth
It was a 1 night stand in 1973.
