    No there are not. That’s the entire point.

    Ex: “Vote Dumps”....There is no such thing a s a”vote dump”. It’s called counting the vote. The accusation that “well at 10:00 at night Biden somehow got 200,000 votes in one county is not possible.”

    Fact: Yes its is ENTIRELY possible because thats how counting works. Multiple machines are used to count the actual ballots, those machines use USB drives to transfer those counts to the main tabulation computer in that county. That County then sends them to the main tabulation center for the state. If that county happens to be Fulton County, which is very large, and is very heavily democratic, then the 200,000 votes are absolutely possible because that how the process works

    But in the above scenario, the right is loosing their minds because they dont understand how the process actually works.

    We have people storming the capital as I type this who are so ridiculously ill informed because Trump told them this was happening. He knows he’s wrong, but he wants to stir the base to fight for him

    I’m embarrassed for the country right now, but more importantly I’m worried that this experiment might just be over....

    Nancy just sent out some comm to the House saying they are reconvening tonight, after the Capitol declared safe, so all House members and staff should stay on the Hill...

    Expect Mitch (since Chuck isn't in yet) did the same...

    Democracy marches on....sedition attempts notwithstanding...

    I'm getting a bit proud...

    So over a million people bothered to go to DC to protest? Well, looks like that mountain of evidence is being seen by more folks......

    Oh, no! What if we're missing something that is behind this? The likes of these may be back again to split up the country in two.

    I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!

    Took him 2 hours after Capitol Hill was overtaken. Was he too busy golfing?

    A Million? :roflol:

    Where did you come up with that number?

    Is that the New Math?

    I knew someone would throw out a “vast conspiracy” claim before the evening ended.

    Neither was a peaceful protest. But one of them wasn't a direct attack on the democratic process.

    Dream on.... Was more than I expected, but I didn't see a single wide angle crowd shot that would get you anywhere near that number...

    But, any 1 Trump supporter creates the damage of 4 regular people so it seems larger....

    Then after that, he tweeted a bunch of things about the Election being "stolen" that have been DELETED.

    Give me a break.:bored:

    At some point, people need to quit (unconditionally) "defending" This TRUMP TRAITOR.

    You'll never get to the "post removal" phase because you're never going to get 2/3 of the Senate to agree to convict the President with two weeks left in his term. That's the part that your original post and the source you cited seem to be skipping over. It's a pipe dream. It's never going to happen.

    These people are trash.

    The rioters over the summer are trash.

    Both groups are trash.

    And if you're willing to excuse the behavior of either group, you're also trash.

    LOL! This request, coming from a poster who regularly defends criminals of various stripes and the dregs of society. Get real.

    I would be surprised if there was even 100,000 people.

    ^I don't think it was even close to that number.

    "A Million"? :roflol:

    They would need 2/3 of the Senate to vote to convict. They'll never get that with a "flash impeachment".

    They are indeed both trash. But we can debate the levels of trash.

    I find this far right Trumper group worse, as they directly interfered with our Democratic process.

    Yep, a mountain of evidence that Trump and his followers are a dumpster fire of the highest order!
