This is crazy, man.

Jeb and Cornyn are laughing at the odds of success, if that's any indicator.

If they did "succeed" it would be a literal coup, there's legitimately no legal grounds.

Zero chance that it overturns the election.

But this sort of denial being normalized like this is the real threat to the country.

It's also funny that part of the argument is essentially Republicans saying state rights are worthless.

Sorry Chim, as Americans we can legally only refer to something as a coup if the furthest left candidate emerges victorious

A coup is when a candidate that does not 100% align with US business interests wins

Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) doesn't think the GOP House members openly trying to overturn the election should get to keep their titles.

On Friday, another 20 House Republicans joined the 106 who had already signed onto Texas' lawsuit attempting to overthrow key states' election results. To Pascrell, those members are in violation of the Constitution's 14th Amendment, and thus cannot remain in the House. "Men and women who would act to tear the United States government apart cannot serve as members of Congress," Pascrell wrote in a letter asking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Administration Committee Chair Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) not to seat them.

chim,

do you understand the difference between actually FDA approval vs the “emergency use authorization” that the FDA issued for the covid vaccine?

It's like millennial boomer humor.

Is there any sorta advanced studies and how much each state has in political pull of the country at large? Seems like something people could do (like with the study that "shows"political policies follow what rich people want).
