When will Oklahoma schools also teach that the Trump assassination attempts were faked?

It's a bit surprising Ryan Walters hasn't named a school after Ashli Bulleteater yet.

Don't you fret.

January 6th will be renamed Ashli Babbitt day.

She will be remembered as a freedom fighter who sacrificed herself for the truth.

BillJohnson must be so proud!

"Identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in key battleground states, the security risks of mail-in balloting, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and the unprecedented contradiction of "bellwether county" trends.

"In March, Walters said the purpose of this section was to teach "students to think for themselves" and "not be spoon-fed left-wing propaganda." According to Walters, there are "legitimate concerns" about the integrity of the 2020 election that were "raised by millions of Americans in 2020."

Oklahoma should name names. And get their butts handed to them in court for defamation, like Fox News and Newsmax. Damages are close to a billion right now. I'm sure the fine citizens of Oklahoma won't mind ponying up a couple hundred billion more.

The fragile ego of Dear Orange MAGAt Leader demands no less.

Banana Republic stuff, and no Republican can deny it.

I guess adding the Bible to public school curriculums wasn't enough...

Here's one now:

"Dec 19, 2020

"As we speak, today, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote and we're going to send those results up to Congress."

That's what senior White House adviser Stephen Miller said Monday morning in an appearance on Fox News, a clear signal that President Donald Trump and his allies do not intend to let the Electoral College vote stop them from carrying on their attempt to override the democratic will of U.S. voters who handed President-elect Joe Biden a resounding victory.

Even as official electors in all 50 states met Monday--some under frightening circumstances thanks to right-wing threats of violence--to certify Biden as the winner, Miller "brushed off the idea that the Electoral College vote marked any kind of end to the process," The Hill reported."."

"News broke Monday afternoon that Georgia Republicans did exactly what Miller said they would do--meeting at the state capitol to select an alternate set of pro-Trump electors to send to Congress even though Georgia Democrats are sending an official slate of Biden electors to Washington, D.C.

In response to this development, journalist Walker Bragman tweeted:

"They're actively attempting a coup."
