What did they think was going to happen when they stole a national election? It only gets more intense from here.
This is just the beginning.

The Arizona Republic says Trump did.
Donald Trump is the most unconventional president we ever elected, so it comes as no surprise he’s doing something wildly unconventional as he leaves office.
He’s starting a civil war. In his own party.
This won’t topple our republic, because Trump doesn’t command enough Republican support in state and federal governments to create a real crisis. Democracy is holding fast against his legal and extra-legal attempts to reverse the election.
The latest test of America’s tensile strength comes from Georgia, where Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger exposed Trump’s tawdry threat against him because Raffensperger refused to help the president overturn Biden’s victory in that state.
Because the president has no shame, he has chosen to try to tear down the citadel on the way out. He has recruited Republican members of Congress and the U.S. Senate to formally object to the Electoral College count. Some 100-150 House members and at least 12 senators have announced they will support the president’s gambit.
That still leaves about one-fourth of the GOP caucus in the House and three-fourths in the Senate who are expected to join Democrats and crush this insurrection. Trump’s gambit is “the political equivalent of barking at the moon,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
But the damage to the Republican Party will be substantial. Trump’s post-election plotting imperils the election of two Republicans running for U.S. Senate in the Georgia runoff. If they both go down, Democrats will control the U.S. Senate, House and White House. Goodbye, divided government.
Many Republicans have warned this could happen. If it does, Trump will be to blame and the more mannered Republicans will have a powerful argument for weakening his grip on the party.
[ … ]
The party will and should pay a price for nominating and electing Trump to the White House. His four years of erratic governance cost him reelection, and his destructive final days will likely cost Republicans many elections to come.
Meanwhile the disparate parts of the party will battle over its future when Trump is gone. What does conservatism mean in our modern world? What are its core principles?
Trump, to quote Robert Oppenheimer’s timeless recitation from the Bhagavad-Gita, is “The destroyer of worlds.” He has laid waste to the American political landscape. The Reagan Revolution is over. The conservative party will never be the same.
True to form, this progressive is about 100 years behind. They still think Trump was the cause rather than the effect.
This civil war is a product of completely disparate world and life views, irreconcilable differences, and polar opposite value systems. The long march of Marxism through the institutions did its damage, but only after several generations.
The rejection of God, the killing of 70 million unborn babies, the theft of the national treasury, debt, deficit spending, foreign misadventures, corruption in all of the highest offices of the land, largesse to elected officials, a porous Southern border, the destruction of the middle class with taxes to support socialized medicine, subsidies and other wealth redistribution schemes, bills always bundled with spending on foreign countries and pet projects, corrupt judges and justices, militarized police, the creation of fatherless inner city families due to welfare and incentives for inner city women to have out-of-wedlock children, and on and on the horrible list could go.
These are the things traditional Americans see when they vote, and voting in the 2020 election has proven to be an ineffective amelioration of the problems. Given Trump’s inability to see the deep state actors with whom he surrounded himself, it isn’t obvious that the election would have made much difference anyway. From the beginning, most voters thought that Trump would supply four more badly needed years, and may in fact do a little damage to the deep state and bureaucratic controllers. The four years obtained, while the damage to the bureaucracy did not.
You see, Mr. Phil Boas, Trump wasn’t the beginning of anything. He was the last shot at avoiding the break, the schism, the trouble to come. He was supposed to be a solution, if God would be so gracious to grant it. God has not decided to do things that way.
So be it. The republican party that you and its leadership in the halls of power want to return to normal won’t – ever again. There will be no heeling, no getting back in line, no return to the days of simple acquiescence to the GOP moving to the left as the democrats move to the left, hoping that voting for the GOP is the least worse option.
Things are too far along for that. The world as you know it has changed, and you are one hundred years behind the times. Do try to catch up. Trump didn’t cause this. Your ilk did. And you and your ilk will be the legatee of what’s happened. There can be no peace between us.

It’s the ultimate goal, the golden chalice.
Andrew Lu moved to Georgia in 2017. By 2018, he was canvassing for Stacey Abrams’ gubernatorial campaign.
The 35-year-old, who was working in Oakland, California, before the move, said he was a registered Republican until his early 20s. But even when he had a change of heart politically, he says he usually didn’t vote.
That changed when he came to the East Coast.
“Since I’m no longer in California, I can’t hide behind, ‘Oh, it’s a blue state,'” Lu, who grew up in Los Angeles, said. “Now I have to put my words into action.”
This influx of people coming into our state from not only across the country but across the globe, has only sort of underscored Georgia as this (cosmopolitan) melting pot, gathering place, in the Deep South.”
Add to this the hundreds of thousands of new people moving from New York to North Carolina. It’s too easy to assume that they will have figured out that it’s the communist policies they’ve implemented where they were that fouled their nest, so they’d better refrain from such things in the future if they want to retain a clean nest this time.
Too easy, and incorrect. I’m reminded of a note I received just today from someone, who told this story.
It seems a tarantula is eyeing a swollen stream, trying to figure out how to get across, because he will surely drown if he attempts to cross it. Along comes a frog, and is about to enter the water, so the tarantula asks the frog if he may ride across on the frog’s back. The frog says, you will sting me and i will die. No, i won’t says the tarantula, then i would drown and die, too. That would make no sense. I promise not to sting you, and when we get to the other side, I will hop off, and we will go our separate ways.
So, the frog say, o.k. They get about half way across the stream, and the tarantula cannot restrain himself any more and stings the frog on the back and on his nose. As he dies, the frog says, why did you do that, now I die, and you surely will die as well.
The tarantula looks the frog in the eyes, and says, I could not refrain, because you see, I am a tarantula.
A communist is a communist and will never change his ways.

"Amen" is a Biblical Hebrew word: אמן. It is a word simply meaning "may it be so." It has nothing to do with the word "man" or "woman" because it is FROM HEBREW. This is some of the dumbest s*** I have ever seen in my life. https://t.co/O4JhcHwywv

The Justice Department has asked a federal judge to dismiss a last-gasp lawsuit led by a House Republican that seeks to give Vice President Mike Pence the power to overturn the results of the presidential election won by Joe Biden when Congress formally counts the Electoral College votes next week.
[ … ]
The suit names Pence, who has a largely ceremonial role in next week’s proceedings, as the defendant and asks the court to throw out the 1887 law that spells out how Congress handles the vote counting. It asserts that the vice president “may exercise the exclusive authority and sole discretion in determining which electoral votes to count for a given State.”
The Justice Department is representing Pence in a case that aims to find a way to keep his boss, President Donald Trump, in power. In a court filing in Texas on Wednesday, the department said Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, and a group of Republican electors from Arizona “have sued the wrong defendant” — if, in fact, any of those suing actually have “a judicially cognizable claim.”
The department says, in effect, that the suit objects to long-standing procedures laid out in law, “not any actions that Vice President Pence has taken,” so he should not be the target of the suit.
His role isn’t “largely ceremonial” and they know it. He could choose to throw away the ballots of any state he chooses.
He won’t.
And I hope this ends the ridiculous talk over 4Chan and other places of Pence being the hero of the day and riding in on his white horse and saving the republic by ignoring the electors from states where there was obvious fraud.
No one is coming to save you. The deep state will do this until it fears you.
Pence is a deep state actor, and we’ve known that for a very long time. Here is something for which I will never forgive Pence. He was the first out of the gate to turn on Gen. Michael Flynn. He is responsible for Flynn’s torment over almost four years. And Trump was stupid enough to listen to Pence. He should have told Pence to go home and work on writing letters to people or something where he couldn’t hurt anything. But then, Trump should never have chosen him as a running mate to begin with.
Pence knew the danger Flynn posed to the deep state and its intelligence apparatus, and Pence acted in accordance with his master’s wishes.

Most of the politicians in Georgia could be described as election hacks, but I’m referring to the corruption 2020 election hack, whether by machine, adjudication, or simply false and fraudulent ballots.
