Hope this is true. On the ground posters I read and posted about yesterday said the truckers have been helping out the police on their beats. Makes sense that they'd resign because the Mayor is asshoe.
50/50 at this point, I think, that the Ottawa city government fails. Resign now, get rehired when adults are back in charge,
That poster is saying the law doesn't say Pence can do what Trump asked him to do. Point to be made is, if you ask me, is that the law doesn't say he can't.
It has been done before by Jefferson and by Nixon. Jefferson took electors to make himself president, Nixon gave electors for himself to Kennedy. It was shown after the fact that Nixon didn't win Hawaii, but electors had been certified already, I think. Wouldn't have changed the outcome.
Bottom line is VP has plenary power as President of the Senate. My guess is that if it isn't expressly forbidden, he can do what he wants. Request was to send electors for questionable states back, which also isn't screechingly unreasonable, IMO.
Not sure about the proposed rule change, but if it has to do with expressly forbidding the VP to reject electors, then I'd have to assume the VP can do it as the law is written now.
Could be. Message must have gotten out for shills to try to gaslight the Pence wasn't legally allowed to do what Trump asked him to do narrative.
Like Trump doesn't have the lawyers at his beck and call to back him up. If Trump is out there hammering the point that Pence is a pussy unable to sack up, then, most likely, Pence is a pussy unable to sack up. me. Trump's MO doesn't indicate he just blows smoke in such situations. His security and legal team are world class, and I don't think they lurk the boards for legal advice.
Why do I keep picturing an edit to the movie, "Don't Look Up", where, at the end, when the comet is taking up half of the sky, there's a cut to a clip of someone feverishly posting about bakers on 8Kun?
I may need help.
Definitely agree with getting Trump on insurrection for Jan 6. Only way he can be barred form the office. End game, for sure, but it's a known known.
Take out the sources of disinformation, or discredit them irreversibly, then pile on with Truth Social. I think that is what the counter is.
I could see a US convoy forming up coordinated with the TS rollout. Put embeds in with the truckers to ride along. There would be a lot of eyes on, enthusiasm off the charts, if the Leafs are any indication, and you could get a shit ton of info out about all the reasons why the convoy is moving in.
Could be a, "Leafs 72 miles?, hold my beer, convoy. Nothing against the Leafs, a little friendly trash talking during competition never hurts.
