But its all ok because Will Hurd wagged his finger at these efforts! And Mittens gave a stern "statement" on these actions by his GOP colleagues!

They're just as complicit in all of this madness as Ted Cruz and others. To me, the core of conservative ideology is completely ignoring history when it shows them the truth, and leaning on it when they can contort it to their whims. You can't tell me that those two men are so ignorant to the reality of cause and effect, and that their support for their party has always been about disenfranchising Black and Brown folk, and coddling white racists to sustain their power in DC. It's unreal how the media gives these guys like Romney good press for literally empty words.

that continues to disgust me to no end. to see ted cruz kiss the *** of someone that publicly humiliated his own damn wife is appealing beyond belief.

At some point yall are going to have to realize that ted cruz doesn't give a damn about his wife
Never has and never will

Good idea by GA's Secretary of State to record and leak the phonecall. I wonder if he recorded Lindsey Graham trying to pressure him into committing electoral fraud to benefit Trump. When Graham flatly denied it, he only kept saying Graham was lying so he probably got the idea to start recording these type of calls from that.

Like all Republicans, Ted Cruz doesn't give a damn about anyone other than himself.

 

[mplsdunk]

Their care about their donors or people who pay them off or whatever you wanna call it.

Yo this could start a ripple effect. Imagine other tapes starts coming out?

Can't wait to hear what the GOP has to say.

2021 drama starting off wonderfully. LOL

It won’t really matter. There’s nothing on earth Trump could do that wouldn’t be justified or forgiven by a large percentage of his supporters.

 

[Belgium]

Surely he pretty blatantly passed the statutory requirements of some sort of crime with this phonecall?

The guillotine was manned by the people, not the elite.

They can try to co-opt the language and the symbols of the subjugated as much as they want, we and they know where they stand and what they stand for.

Instead of the mindless circle jerk of curated (((memes))) going on by biased social pages and (((sources))) meant to shape and change your perception - let me post this proposed bill to the senate off an official gov't website.

NY State Assembly Bill 2021-A416

Relates to the removal of cases, contacts and carriers of communicable diseases that are potentially dangerous to the public health.

That's straight up mob talk.

What does he mean by "people who want to find answers"?

Trump needs to be prosecuted.

 

[Belgium]

This seems to fit. He tried to flatter Raffensperger and his General Counsel, then threatened them with criminal penalties and reputational harm if they continued to refuse to comply

A person, including an election official, who in any election for Federal office—
(2)knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process, by—
