    If you believe their letter has any more effect on these crazies than you, me, or Susan then you haven’t been paying attention. They are full on might makes right. If they can do it, they will, and they’ll lie all about it. Rinse and repeat.

    are you saying he doesn't really want to overturn the election in Trump's favor if he really has a chance to do it?

    Turd Tweetalot.

    That about sums up Trump. We still have 16 days of no leader of our country. He is OBSESSED with himself. It's consuming him to a point of doing absolutely nothing else. Do you know he tweeted and retweeted garbage and propaganda 64 times yesterday? It's just pure madness at this point. It's like we need this clip as the intro before any Presidential televised/social media post or event.

    If the Senate had voted to remove him from office he couldn't have run again. As part of the impeachment powers of Congress they remove the ability to serve in federal office. The Senate also could've voted not to remove but to ban Trump from future office.

    I agree this won't change minds among the Trump faithful. This letter though was more of a message to the military that if they are called upon to overturn or undermine the election and certification hose orders would be illegal.

    point missed: letter was to DoD. But thanks, I’ve been paying attention, yes, and understand the medieval-minded crazies.

    Perry (SoD under Clinton) said the idea came from Cheney. I think we can guess as to why. Like you heard from the tape where Trump pressured Ga SoS to find votes and recalculate the result, the SoD and the military is being pressured by Trump to take actions (take a guess what they are asked to do). Someone high up reached out to Cheney and it was serious, credible and concerning enough for Cheney to call on the other SoD to formulate this letter.

    After Jan 6th, watch his next step. He will put maximum pressure on the military. Chaos at home or aboard to take actions.

    Simply incorrect, submission of evidence is not a requirement for standing. Standing is a threshold issue, the filing party either has it or doesn't.

    Did you expect otherwise? Wake up if so :)

    I was joking that it was a perfect call, but it is close to that for Trump cult members and the sedition caucus (2/3 of GOP house, 10-11 GOP senator).

    Probably not even if there was an actual real chance. I presume he thinks he has a better chance four years from now if Trump loses and Biden’s old ass is in there 4 years.
