    In fact, Biden openly promised to make it much, much worse. The first presidential candidate to promise he will deliver "dark days ahead.'

    The issue here is very much state law. The US Constitution does not tell the state HOW to conduct an election, just that they must have an election.

    You claim that the Secretary of State, who is bound by state law, changed voting rules(WHICH IS STATE LAW, NOT FEDERAL LAW ie. the Constitution).

    First , you must PROVE that claim in STATE COURT. The ultimate interpreter of STATE law is the highest court in the STATE.

    Second, FEDERAL LAW(Clause 2) directs the STATE to HOLD an election "in such a Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct" (which equals state election law as determined by the state Legislature and carried out by elected/appointed officials including the Secretary of State).

    Third, once the OUTCOME of the STATE election is determined, FEDERAL LAW(the CONSTITUTION), kicks in and proscribes how to deliver the results to the FEDERAL government.

    Yes, it's not up to you. You can file a lawsuit if you want, but it's not going to result in criminal charges, because that's not how our laws work. Unless you're a prosecutor for some relevant jurisdiction, it's not up to you.

    Do you have an answer for either of these questions:

    1) How many of the protesters entered the Capitol? You can answer as either a % or a raw number.

    2) How long were they inside for? I'm looking for a start time and a stop time.

    Big deal.

    Trump is so "worried" about Dorsey, he is always free to join Parler (or start his own version).

    ^Problem solved.

    Big deal, so what?

    The Courts have (already) ruled, and the point is MOOT.

    Biden WON. It is over.

    See you in 2024.

    No actually it was after he tried to calm them without condemning anything and reiterating the lie that the election was stolen by the so bad and so evil people. He ot banned after that because he was not being at all helpful.

    And now he issues another message claiming the election is over and the country must return to civic values and unity and he will ensure a smooth transition. He even said those people that committed crimes will pay. He may not be first, but I'll bet the farm he'll meet the piper. One thing he is truthful about after his latest crime against the nation is just about everyone wants his scalp.

    The censures will continue until he's outta office to the relief of the vast majority of the world.

    His people at the White House should do the right Clinton thing - remove all B keys from the keyboards, writing anti Biden graffiti in the bathrooms, spread glue on the desks, destroy presidential seals, leave hate messages on answering machines and of course steal art and furniture.

    You say it's not up to me, but admit I can file a lawsuit... so it's up to me.
    Your claim it would lead to nothing, is a joke.


    Your idea that just a handful (which is 5) were there is a fascist farce...
    YOU made a claim thew where there for a few minutes. YOU go prove this.

    as me proving you're chanting a fascist fake news. And I'm calling you out on that with your "just a handful":

    Stop with your double standard. Your soon to be VP endorsed the rioting the rioting that occurred all Summer. Your media called it peaceful protesting as did the usual suspects here on PF.

    over 93% of the hundreds of protests were peaceful protests. The rioters were condemned by everyone, the peaceful protesters were endorsed by many.

    There is no equivalency in this regard. Trump called the protest, he named it SAVE AMERICA, he fed the faithful a constant stream of absurd conspiracy theories and outright lies, he and his cronies whipped up the crowd and he even said he'd march with them.

    this is sedition in plain sight.

    its in reference to that hoax pandemic with its democrat/deep state inflated numbers of dead (only 3865 today with a bullet) and the fact its going to get fake worse before it gets fake better. But I'm sure it will disappear completely on jan 20/

    You don't understand the difference between civil and criminal law, do you? I'll tell you exactly what would happen to your civil lawsuit if you tried to file one: it would get thrown out for lack of standing. There are some terms for you to Google: civil, criminal, and standing. Start with those three.

    You think that's the best environment for his cult's circlejerks or would some other site be more appropriate? Asking for a friend.

    There are no words on Twitter from Trump that state that. Why do you make this crap up?

    It was DELETED.

    Technically, it wouldn't be written "words" (just spoken).
    The version that I watched several times (before it was Deleted), didn't come with subtitles.

    But, with a simple Google search you can find the Deleted Twitter Video.

    I see a photo with a few dozen people. There were tens of thousands of protesters that day. Do we agree that it was only a minuscule fraction of the protesters that entered the Capitol or do you dispute that (with a photo of a few dozen apparently)?

    BTW, a "handful" doesn't always mean precisely 5. Quora explains this well:

    Pfff... when a white terrorist can just resist arrest, barge in and take the desk of the speaker of the house to land it's feet upon, to than leave while not being arrested or shot, than I sure can file me a lawsuit. You aint changing my mind that I won't win it.

    LOL, so do it. File your lawsuit. It's going to get laughed out of court, but maybe you'll learn something in the process.

    Nope.
    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/handful
    an amount of something that can be held in one hand:

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/handful
    1: as much or as many as the hand will grasp
    2: a small quantity or number a handful of people
    3: as much as one can manage the kids are quite a handful



    Not going to buy a small number was able to barge to terrorize all over the Capitol, having 100's of politicians shaking in their boots being protected by even more armed guards.


    I'm keep sticking to calling you out on your fascist sources that is downplaying this.
    You dropped the thing of only being there for a couple of minutes already.
    Smelling a rat....

    I asked you if you disputed that it was no more than a minuscule fraction of the tens of thousands of protesters there, and you responded with "Nope", so ... I guess we're done here. Thanks.

    Oh we're done here alright. I wrote far more than just 1 word.
    You're stuck in an alternative reality that you read on some fascist news source for sure.
    You can't prove a thing (minuscule fraction / few minutes).
    And you're just running away from your claims with your tale between your legs.

    Well, bye bye.

    You are defending 'whataboutism' with more 'whataboutism'.
    Brilliant defense.
