Even if he did morse (which he didn't), it was --.. which is Z, not Q.

JUST IN: “This is not news we deliver lightly,” @margbrennan says as she reports: Trump Cabinet secretaries are discussing invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump. Nothing formal yet presented to VP Pence. “I’m talking about actual members of the Cabinet,” she says

If this video depicted what was being shown in the captions accurately, it would have been discovered when the hand recount was done. Seeing that there was no discrepancies, the more likely scenario is that the machine wasn't reading the ballots correctly (notice how she kept stacking them together) and she wasn't to ensure the tabulation was correct, thus doing it multiple times.

Also, its not like when a ballot is scanned it instantly goes to the "results" number. They look at how many ballots the machine says and it is manually inputted into the system.

Stop spreading this false bs and getting people set up for disappointment. There is no state that has sent 2 sets of electors. This isn't my opinion, this is a fact, you can look at the National Archives: https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/2020. These are the only electors Pence will recieve in front of him.

Yes, some LARPers showed up at the capitols but unless the Legislature officially appoints them they have no power of law. As of now no legislature has appointed 2 sets of electors.

You are setting unreasonable expectations that are bound to fall.

Don't get too excited, the suit isn't going anywhere, not because the Electoral Count Act isn't Constitutional, but the suit itself has material inaccuracies that will result in it being tossed (so probably not ruled on the merits)

December 14, 2020, where the State of Arizona (and several others) have appointed two competing slates of electors. (pg 2)

No state appointed competing slates of electors. Some states had LARPers show up at the capitol, but in order for those votes to count the Legislature of those states would have to vote to appoint them, none did. You can check for yourself on the National Archives, if there was more than set of electors they would be posted here for each State: https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/2020. These are the electors that will be given to Pence.

Yes, but you do understand he signed the bill and Congress can just ignore his suggested follow up bill right? There is no take-backsies when something is signed by the President.

He signed the bill and his advisors will send a new bill to Congress that is more agreeable to him. If they don't take it up, it doesn't change anything. He still signed HR. 133, this is just a suggestion.

See here, this is the official document from the WH. There is no take-backsies.

Don't get too excited. Congress isn't changing anything, mostly because Senate Republicans don't want to. He had all the time in the world to get $2,000 if he actually wanted it, but he waited til the bill already passed both houses. He just wants to be remembered as the President who wanted $2,000 checks.

It's all optics, folks.

Not sure why people are surprised by this. People who have been paying attention knew this was coming. He had all the time in the world to get $2,000 if he actually wanted it, but he waited til the bill already passed the House and Senate. He just wants to be remembered as the President who wanted $2,000 checks.

It's all optics, folks.

No, there is no procedure that would throw it to delegations other than an EC tie. Delaying results in President Pelosi.

If anyone is actually curious, this is only half right. In order for there to be a dueling slate of electors, the legislature would have to sign off on the Trump electors. This would be in contrast to the governor who signed off on the Biden electors.

As of right now, these are just LARPers who gathered at the capitol, and they will remain that way unless the legislature or judicial branch intervenes and officially approves them.

It's half right because it isn't purely symbolic because events could make it formal in the future, but as of now it isn't legally binding.

Wtf are you going on about? You can argue that the government response is excessive (and I mostly everyone probably agrees) but you invalidate your entire argument when you claim the disease itself doesn't even exist. What do you think is going on when there is an outbreak in a senior care home and so many people die?

The other guy is right, whether its a microscope or genome sequence showing its similarity to SARS-cov, the virus does objectively exist
