GOP Congressman Asks Supreme Court to Nullify Pennsylvania Vote

Wednesday, December 02, 2020

A Republican congressman from Pennsylvania asked the Supreme Court to issue an emergency order to block his state from taking further action to certify its election results showing a win for President-elect Joe Biden over President Donald Trump. Rep. Mike Kelly's request comes after Gov. Tom Wolf already has certified that Biden won the state and its 20 Electoral College votes.

These dead enders really suck. Will they commit mass suicide when "dear leader" is dragged out of the white house in a straightjacket?

F the voters, Republicans just don't care what the voters want. The Republicans just want what they want and can't accept defeat. Does anyone remember Democrats behaving this way? No, because we don't behave that way. Republicans are just not believers in democracy. One could even say they are "sore losers".

I don't think they even trouble themselves to deny that any more.

Sure they are just as long as it promotes their agenda.

Like the deficit.

Like the bible.

Like free speech.

They believe in those so long as it promotes their agenda.

I think Trumptidumped is jonesing really hard for a movement comparable to the ----- Hat movement because was a worldwide demonstration against him. Even though it wasn't necessarily pro Hillary... mostly but not all... it was an enormous international uprising against him. He doesn't have the chops to make that happen.
They insult Hillary... mock her... roast her etc but they don't often laugh at her... Trumptidumped they laugh at all the time... all the time head to toe he is laughed at.

Imagine going to the mat this hard for a guy like Donald Trump.

Republicans really are a disgusting cult.

What's funny is even if they managed to overturn the results in, say, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, Biden would still win the election. So the end game here really is just an overt disregard for democracy and a sowing of disinformation.

Southern California Attorney Asks Supreme Court to Nullify Mike Kelly. (That request should have about the same impact as Kelly's request.) Do Republicans truly have no sense of shame? Once upon a time, shame existed, and people would not do things like that due to the shame factor. No more. People in general, and politicians in particular, are shameless. We live in a post-shame society.
