hey Rusty, any Idea why Wisconsin missed the Safe Harbor deadline to certify the election results?  As they were the only one that missed it?  They are also one of the 4 states (Penn, GA & MI are the other three) that is listed in this Texas SCOTUS filing, so would that have been something about it?

I understand that it's because of one of the daily lawsuits. The judges were too nice or patient or tolerant to fine, jail, or nominate for disbarment [Sleezebag]'s attorneys for filing frivolous lawsuits, so they just kept coming, even in December. I'll look into it...

I guess it's a long way of saying the same thing. The election is certified, but court challenges designed to overturn the results are still pending.

https://pbswisconsin.org/news-item/what-does-the-safe-harbor-deadline-mean-in-wisconsin/

[It's unclear what would happen if a court sided with the [Sleezebag] campaign and overturned the results of Wisconsin’s elections. The lawsuits have requested the Republican majority that controls the Legislature be allowed to select the state’s 10 electors, presuming they would pick those who would vote for [Sleezebag].

However, Republican Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke has said that would not happen. And if such a decision came after the safe harbor deadline, it’s likely that decision would be challenged as well.]

The Republican Party must not just be defeated, it must be destroyed.

An American political party that accepts and encourages autocracy and undermines democracy, while pledging fealty to an an autocratic leader as its organizing principle, cannot be rehabilitated nor saved.

I am too angry to speak for myself.  I've been too angry for decades, and recent events, this evening's Supreme Court ruling notwithstanding, have proven me right.  They. are. fascists.

Funny you should mention that. Since this latest lawsuit was launched, I've come to think of our two party system as the Democrats and the Autocrats. They're obviously not republicans or federalists any more.  We were just watching tv. It was one of those crime documentaries. I said "That's a beautiful little town, I wonder where it is? Oh, South Carolina, the rat-bastards!"

I feel particularly insulted that Texas, SC, MO, AR, LA, MS and UT have decided that they know more about the election laws in my home states of PA and WI than the State Supreme Courts.  I'm inclined to hold a grudge. Granted, when I stage a boycott of this kind it usually only lasts 15-20 years on average. I may visit or do business in those states again in my lifetime.  I've already been to all of them except Arkansas... speaking of which, fornicate WalMart! Maybe I'll write them a letter. I figure they go a long way towards propping up the state government with their taxes.

South Carolina is North Carolina's New Jersey.  All they got on us is firecrackers, decent beaches, and way more trailers.

I renew my call of four years ago for the actual conservatives left -there may be a few, and I can respect them, maybe- to go take over the Libertarian party, and leave the bigots, greed-os, Jesus suckers and Traitors -the Republican party is controlled by people who are at least three of those at once- to their contemptable little KKK reindeer games.

there are a few good people, but in the same vein, there were also a few good people associated with the Nazi Party in the 30's whom opposed Hitler (and were later purged).  It's not that the Republicans are Fascist, it's that they are weak minded so-called Humans with no backbone to speak of.   Shakespeare was wrong, the Politicians are worse than the lawyers...

I once had to interview the better part of a law firm for a newspaper feature spotlighting them.  My first question to each partner or associate -all interviewed separately- was "Was Shakespeare right?"

I didn't have to elaborate what I was talking about a. single. time.

-And one of the partners had a great answer, pointing out it was the bad guy who said that.

Legal Corporate Defamation suits are possibly pending against FOX News and a few other sources by the corporate victims of their combined post election for the airing and proclamation of lies about the various companies that could potentially leave those News services on the hook for huge (potentially in the Billions) Lawsuits.  Fox news is scrambling to back away from some of this....

This also leaves [Sleezebag] open for Corporate Legal Action, after his term is completed...  one reason he's trying to raise money now...

Wasn't that the company were [Sleezebag]'s legal department (accidently) held a press conference to announce fraudulent voting?

As the writhing, teeming mass of mindworms swarmed over the outer perimeter, we saw the defenders recoil in horror. 'Stay calm! Use your flame guns!' shouted the commander, but to no avail. It is well know that the Mind Worm Boil uses psychic terror to paralyze its prey, and then carefully implants ravenous larvae into the brains of its still-conscious victims. Even with the best weapons, only the most disciplined troops can resist this horrific attack.
