WASHINGTON/DETROIT (Reuters) - With legal efforts to overturn his loss in the U.S. presidential election flailing, President Donald Trump’s campaign is trying to persuade Republican state legislators to intervene in battleground states won by Democratic rival Joe Biden.

Welp, we knew this was coming...well most of us did.
Trump has failed bigly on every single lawsuit he’s brought forth..great accusations need great evidence and trump/Giuliani were pissing in the wind on this mission. the minor wins he got are so inconsequential that I can only surmise that they were brought forward so Giuliani could grift a little more cheddar (different topic for different time).
but alas, the orange man has gone to step two, trying to use the state legislatures to override the people’s votes. Now, just like failed lawsuits, it is legal for Some of the legislature of a certain states to override the will of the people. But the supreme court recently had something to say about those treasonous fucks..
“The Constitution’s text and the nation’s history both support allowing a state to enforce an elector’s pledge to support his party’s nominee – and the state voters’ choice – for president," Associate Justice Elena Kagan wrote in an opinion.
And...
“The Supreme Court made it clear that the elector is not there to vote his or her conscience. The elector is there to vote how the state dictates," said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California-Berkeley Law School. "Most states now forbid faithless electors."
but what about the states in contention?

States where Failure to vote as pledged cancels the vote and replaces the elector:
Arizona ,Nevada, Michigan,Wisconsin,Minnesota.
So essentially he’s fucked there.
That leaves him with Georgia and Pennsylvania who have no law pertaining to faithless electorate at all.
So let’s say ole Cheeto gets those two (which he has astronomical odds of achieving that)..he would pick up 36 votes putting him at 268 and Biden at 270.
the dumb fuck would lose regardless...so we ask, why do all this in the first place then if he knows these were losing missions?
1) the grift, keep pumping those “fight for Maga” donations in but don’t read the fine print that says he can pocket all the donations under 8000k. It’s one last cash grab from an overly enthusiastic group of zealots who prey (literally) that god emperor trump remains king.
2) discord, gotta keep them riled up to achieve 1).
3) future endeavors, who the hell cares about a loser? one who lost by 6,000,000 votes on a first term and saw five states flip away from him and oversaw the death of a quarter million Americans with a recession to tow. He needs the narrative to be “they cheated, that’s the only way they won” for his schtick to work. He’s marketed himself as the Uber winner...so wether he launches a 2024 bid, tv network with no money (broke and in debt. and ain’t no one giving him a loan in America at least) he needs that shtick, without it he has no reputation and no identity.”He needs a win”
4) desperate men do desperate things..ahh karma is a bitch and she bites. Trump s walking out of the Oval Office straight into court. Sure Biden doesn’t want to muddy up His suit with executive partisan revenge, but state charges, independent investigations, ethics committees, a potentially left senate if Georgia runoffs work in favor, can all but guarantee trump and his offspring as well as cabinet accomplices will have a hard next decade that could lead to hard time..remember Nixon,he got pardoned but:
My message to them:
go outside and Take the American flag off your porch, take the American flag sticker off your 4x4..don’t put your right hand over your heart while pledging allegiance to America..stop screaming that’d you die for our freedom.
You have lost that identity, you deserve none of what America offers because you spit in the face of what America stands for. Commie
The enemy of democracy will be holding a cross and be wrapped in the American flag.

- 40 government officials indicted or jailed
- H.R. Haldeman and John Erlichman (White House staff), resigned 30 April 1973, subsequently jailed
- John Dean (White House legal counsel), sacked 30 April 1973, subsequently jailed
- John Mitchell, Attorney-General and Chairman of the Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP), jailed
- Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy (ex-White House staff), planned the Watergate break-in, both jailed
- Charles Colson, special counsel to the President, jailed
- James McCord (Security Director of CREEP), jailed.
There is a damn good chance some fish will fry.
so in conclusion. This guy has literally upended our democracy, attacked it’s very foundation with an assault against the will of the people all for the same thing he’s always nosedived for..the buck. From day one I expected no less because I like most actually knew his history and knew he’d do exactly this.
My message to them:
go outside and Take the American flag off your porch, take the American flag sticker off your 4x4..don’t put your right hand over your heart while pledging allegiance to America..stop screaming that’d you die for our freedom.
You have lost that identity, you deserve none of what America offers because you spit in the face of what America stands for. Commie
