Trump tried this in Georgia.. We've all heard the recordings.. We've all heard the officials in Georgia recount conversations with Trump and his Minions...
Lying, cheating attempts to change the vote count..
On Wednesday, two dozen House Republicans flocked to Texas to show their support for Donald Trump. They joined the state’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, in applauding the former president as he toured the border, denounced the U.S. government, and repeated the lie that he had been removed from office illegally. “Biden is destroying our country, and it all started with a fake election,” Trump declared as the lawmakers looked on in silence or approval. He accused the United States of “phony elections,” called it a “sick country,” and bragged that as president, he had seized military funds—against the will of Congress, and in defiance of the Constitution—to fund his border wall.
For many Americans, Trump’s disappearance from Facebook, Twitter, and the mainstream media has left the impression that he has gone away. That impression is false and dangerous. Trump has tightened his grip on the GOP, and he has escalated his campaign to undermine American institutions. His authoritarian movement is a direct challenge not just to President Joe Biden but to the larger alliance of democracies. The fundamental political conflict in our country is no longer between Democrats and Republicans. It’s between people who believe in a democratic republic and people who don’t.
Biden understands the gravity of the threat. Since the day he took office, he has pledged to confront China and Russia, rebuild “democratic alliances,” and “rally the nations of the world to defend democracy globally, to push back [against] authoritarianism’s advance.” In February, Biden said he had made clear to Russian President Vladimir Putin, “in a manner very different from my predecessor, that the days of the United States rolling over in the face of Russia’s aggressive actions—interfering with our elections, cyberattacks, poisoning its citizens—are over.”
The authoritarian menace extends into our country. In his inaugural address, Biden noted that he was taking office “just days after a riotous mob thought they could use violence to silence the will of the people, to stop the work of our democracy.” He described his inauguration, in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection, as “the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause: the cause of democracy.” A month later, in a conference with European allies, Biden implicitly connected Putin’s propaganda to Trump’s attacks on NATO and the American electoral system. “Russian leaders want people to think that our system is more corrupt or as corrupt as theirs,” said Biden.
Trump is working to spread that message of American corruption and to destabilize the U.S. government. In rallies, interviews, and emails to his supporters, the former president rejects the 2020 election as “fake,” a “hoax,” and a “crime.” He calls Biden’s government “illegitimate” and “unconstitutionally elected.” In May, he said his supporters were right to call him “the true President,” and he essentially demanded to be restored to office, arguing, “If a thief robs a jewelry store of all of its diamonds (the 2020 Presidential Election), the diamonds must be returned.” Republican leaders, far from repudiating Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 attack, blocked his conviction in a Senate trial, thwarted a proposed commission to investigate the attack, and reaffirmed their allegiance to him. On Thursday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was asked twice whether Trump was “accountable in some way” for “the events leading up to Jan. 6.” McCarthy refused to answer.
Trump trashes democracies, extols autocrats, and advocates a foreign policy based on profit, not human rights. In a Fox News interview on June 16, he savaged our allies in Europe—“They are in many ways worse than China,” he asserted—and called for closer ties with Russia, arguing that “we need things that they have,” such as “valuable land in terms of mineral rights.” At a rally in Ohio on Saturday, Trump praised North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and bragged that China was helping American farmers by honoring trade deals, thanks to Trump’s “great relationship” with President Xi Jinping. In a written statement, Trump urged foreign governments to “ban Twitter and Facebook.”
Forty years ago, Republicans cheered when Ronald Reagan, on the eve of his presidential election, called America a shining city on a hill. Now they cheer when Trump parrots Russian propaganda that American democracy is fake. On June 5, in a speech to the North Carolina Republican convention, Trump scoffed, “All over the world, they used to say, ‘Oh, they’re [America] the land of the free, they have great elections.’ We don’t have great elections.” On Saturday, at his rally in Ohio, he said of the 2020 election, “What happened here is what the State Department used to criticize in communist countries. … [T]hey did a North Korean-style turnout.” On Wednesday, as Abbott nodded along, Trump said the United States was becoming a “banana republic” and a “third-world country … because our elections are a mess.”
When you watch this parade of madness and cynicism, it’s tempting to write off the whole GOP. But that’s a mistake. To defeat authoritarianism, we need help from Republicans who believe in a republic. It’s a small faction, but it’s real, and last year in Arizona, it was arguably decisive. In January, 10 House Republicans voted to impeach Trump; in February, seven Senate Republicans voted to convict him. The third-ranking House Republican, Rep. Liz Cheney, sacrificed her leadership post to defend democracy against the former president. Every week, Trump denounces more Republican officeholders. His stated list of Republican enemies includes four senators, three members of the House, two governors, and state legislators in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Last Friday, Trump went after Reagan, sneering that the 40th president’s endorsements, unlike Trump’s, “didn’t mean anything.” The more Trump talks, the more enemies he makes. Every one of those enemies can be part of the alliance for democracy.
One of Trump’s targets, Sen. Mitt Romney, understands what’s at stake. In a CNN interview on Sunday, the Utah Republican warned that Trump’s lies about the election were “being used around the world” to undermine “support for democracy.” “There’s a battle going on in the world right now between the autocratic nations, like China and Russia, and nations that believe in democracy,” said Romney. The goal of the authoritarians, he explained, was to discredit elections by “point[ing] to the United States” and saying, “Look, they can’t even run an election there that’s not fraudulent.”
Romney is echoing what Biden and many Democrats have said. He’s standing with the president not because they agree on policy—they don’t—but because they agree on democracy. A decade ago, when Romney was the Republican presidential nominee, that agreement might have seemed trivial. It’s not trivial anymore

The people who tried to overturn a legit election via a coup are calling Romney a traitor.
Hilarious
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
For the record, when does Hillary get out of jail?

Trump Pressed The Justice Department To Reverse The Election Results, Documents Show
A batch of emails released by the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee appears to paint a clearer picture of how former President Donald Trump and his allies attempted to pressure the U.S. Justice Department to investigate unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
The 232 pages of documents detail the unprecedented pressure campaign that Trump, along with his chief of staff and other allies, conducted to get senior officials at the Justice Department to challenge the results of the election in the face of Trump's loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
In one example, Trump directed sham claims of voter fraud to then-Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen less than an hour before the president tweeted that Attorney General William Barr — who publicly stated that there was not evidence of widespread election fraud — would be stepping down and replaced by Rosen.
The newly released emails also highlight multiple conspiracy theories surrounding election fraud pushed by then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. On Dec. 30, 2020, Meadows emailed Rosen a translation of a document that alleged there was a plot in which U.S. election data was altered in Italian facilities and loaded onto "military satellites" and that Trump was "clearly the winner."
After Meadows sent Rosen a YouTube link on Jan. 1 detailing the conspiracy theory, Rosen forwarded the email to then-acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, who replied: "Pure insanity."
The cache of documents reveal that Meadows emailed Rosen multiple times to share unverified allegations of election fraud or to ask him to take steps to change the election results.
The documents also highlight how Trump used official White House channels, along with a private attorney, to hound the Justice Department to file a lawsuit in the Supreme Court with the aim of having the court declare that the Electoral College vote counts in six states that Trump lost could not be tallied. The draft complaint — circulated by Trump's White House assistant to Rosen, Donoghue and Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall — requested that the court order a "special election" for president in those six states.
The release of the documents to the public comes after the committee submitted a request in late May to the Justice Department for documents related to the Trump administration's efforts to overturn the election.
"These documents show that President Trump tried to corrupt our nation's chief law enforcement agency in a brazen attempt to overturn an election that he lost," Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said in a statement Tuesday. "Those who aided or witnessed President Trump's unlawful actions must answer the Committee's questions about this attempted subversion of democracy."
The Oversight Committee will hold its second hearing on the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection on Tuesday afternoon and has requested that several former Trump administration officials appear for a "transcribed interview" on the efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Those people are: Meadows; Donoghue, who served as acting deputy attorney general at the time; former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark; former Associate Deputy Attorney General Patrick Hovakimian; and former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia Byung Jin Pak.
Trump and allies also pressured state officials in Georgia to overturn the election results there. In December 2020, Trump personally called a Georgia law enforcement official and asked her to find evidence of voter fraud, and then in early January 2021 he asked the secretary of state to "find" enough votes for him to win. In February, the Fulton County district attorney announced a criminal probe into Trump's actions to interfere with Georgia's election results.
trump is a steaming pile of un-American trash. I hope he gets dragged into court but I’m not holding my breath. He’s managed to be Teflon coated his entire privileged life. When his time comes humanity will be better for it.
He was far more interested in corrupting the system than in saving American citizens lives. How many lives would have been saved if he had a real response to the pandemic. Those deaths are on him and I am sure they are in the tens of thousands if not hundreds and they are still happening because of his rhetoric and his devoted sheep.
Woah. Someone went on record saying Trump directed someone to lie and then said him and other elected officials would "take care of the rest"?
There's no defense for that.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
Laurence Tribe...the 'plagiarizer'. I wonder what 'The Atlantic', the leftwing favorite, has to say about him.
On the “about” page for The Palmer Report, the site thanks a range of well-known people and mainstream media outlets it claims have shared its (dubious) reporting —including Representative Ted Lieu, former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, former DNC chair Howard Dean, the actors Mark Ruffalo and Debra Messing, Newsweek, The Oregonian, and an array of MSNBC contributors. Laurence Tribe, the renowned Harvard scholar of constitutional law, has been an especially active booster for the site, routinely tweeting links to highly questionable, unverified news stories about Trump.
The notes - which is what these reports are all based on - are the notes. It says what it says: Trump told the DoJ to call the Election Corrupt and he'd sort the rest out. . . . maybe that's cool and dandy with the Trump of Cult. Or maybe they will start posting about how Trump lives rent free ... yada yada yada. Deflection deflection deflection.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

You do an excellent job of 'spamming' the board with leftwing "Gibberish"/bs yourself...you forgot the faux leftwing fact-checkers to verify the leftwing news sources.
You should read the 'Atlantic' link...it explains the left's game.
