    I believe you asked this already and I've answered.

    What scheme, and why would they?

    Dunno. Based on this forum, I would say that 70% of people don't relate to Twitter, nor FB.

    I have both, but I check Twitter once/month and FB, only to look at cat pics and friend's food creations.

    People who get their political opinions from Grandma on FB, aren't going to be informed, regardless.

    They have presented hundreds of sworn statements. So far, not even one public hearing with full due process to impeach the credibility of any of them. Ordinary Americans across that spectrum should wonder why that has not happened.

    If you are right and the Trump team is supporting the subordination of perjury the Trump lawyers should have been exposed as felons in early November and indicted and arrested shortly thereafter. But that did not happen. Think. ;-)

    LOL! Do you the Trump team offered false sworn witness statements to nullify the election? Or not?

    "People's democratic dictatorship (simplified Chinese: 人民民主专政; traditional Chinese: 人民民主專政; pinyin: Rénmín Mínzhǔ Zhuānzhèng) is a phrase incorporated into the Constitution of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong, the then leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC).[1] The concept, and form of government, is similar to that of people's democracy, which was implemented in a number of Central and Eastern European Communist-controlled states under the guidance of the Soviet Union."

    A lot of people swore a lot without understanding what they were seeing. A whole bunch of them were debunked because what was being thrown away were not ballots, but were the privacy paper that you have to put the ballot IN, before you put everything in the envelope. So, there go a whole pile of your affidavits.

    Every single question that you have, has been answered & debunked, thoroughly.

    Absent a full due process hearing nothing has been "answered & debunked".

    Tell that to all the Trump supporters and appointed judges who believe otherwise. I'm not sure what to tell you. Trump promised you fraud for months. I didn't drink that koolaid all year, so I am able to view the evidence, listen to the election officials governors & secretaries of state and see what's what.

    You can stay uninformed. I'll no longer engage in delusional and wishful thinking.

    Nice parrot but I never said they couldn't. I simply stated the fact that without Facebook or Twitter (or any derivative of, as seen with Parler), one cannot run a serious political campaign.

    So that means Republicans have about 3 years to:
    A) get some laws changed to stop big tech from censorship/monopolizing or,

    B) hope some conservative entrepreneur emerges that figures out how to develop a social media platform popular enough in time for the R candidate to use it in the 2024 campaign.

    But if Trump came here and started using it as his platform, I'm sure Apple, Google, or Amazon would find a way to shut it down.

    So yeah, free here. As long as we don't get too big...

    How would Apple, Google and Amazon shut this site down. It isn't hosted on their servers, it doesn't need an app and it can be found with all the other search engines available...

    If Donald Trump posted on this website, he'd fit right in with the other conspiracy theorists on here...

    I'd personally get to call out his posts for spelling and grammar errors... And I believe Covfefe is available as a forum name.

    Winning!!

    On a similarly funny note, here is a correction CNN made to one of their stories on the Trump Riot...

    SNIP
    "CORRECTION: A previous version of this story misstated that Rep. Ted Lieu grabbed a crowbar before leaving his office. He grabbed a ProBar energy bar," a correction for a CNN story titled "How a swift impeachment was born under siege" states.

    Ty for pointing out the error. Sorry for leaving out the key word, "think". :)

    LOL! Do you think the Trump team offered false sworn witness statements to nullify the election? Or not?

    More unresponsive ad hominem nonsense. Trump supporters think the election was rigged because all the evidence indicates that it was. Nevertheless, Trump supporters would welcome proof that the Trump campaign and its legal team suborned perjury to rig the election for Trump. Why would we want to give them a pass for what IMO would be treason?

    Anyone who does not think the election was rigged should have been demanding public full due process hearings to expose that kind of criminal behavior on the part of the Trump campaign and individuals like Giuliani and Powell.

    I find it odd that Harris/Biden supporters oppose hearings into the integrity of an election if the believe public hearings would only expose RP crimes.

    If you are correct, than you have to explain why people who OPENLY support Trump by stating, "I wish he did win!," governors and secretaries of state are stealing the election, with help from judges appointed by Trump.

    Please.... let your conspiracy theories for this flow through you, and riddle me that.

    Have you ever been under the impression that the Republican establishment liked Trump?
    Who said "I wish he did win!"? Got a source?

    Do you believe that Harris/Biden won a free and fair election that was not marred by massive vote fraud? If so you must also believe that Giuliani and the Trump team conspired to overturn the results of an honest election.

    You are absolutely NOT going to accept any answer except Trump winning the election - so "due process" is lost on you.
    The ballots were recounted. The Republican SoS is content with the findings. The FBI is content with the findings. The courts
    are content with the findings. The Congress is content with the findings. Trump's own VP is accepting the findings.

    I know you'll be able to find a couple of random internet guys who you say "prove" fraud, but ... at this point, all I see
    is this ...

    More ad hominem nonsense.

    I have made it very clear that if it was up to me Giuliani and the Trump team would have already been indicted if a full due process hearing had revealed that their attack on the integrity of the election was based on perjury and false pleadings.

    The people who oppose public due process hearings fear the truth.

    They always backed down on presenting their “evidence” in court precisely because they faced those penalties

    Yes. I trust the 50 governors, 50 secretaries of state and around 80 judges who say the election was clean & fair.

    Who is saying there is fraud? One guy. ONE. But, cult leaders can do no wrong.

    No, not false. Just baseless. The people making them really didn't know.
    Eye witness statements are the least reliable evidence in any trial. People don't remember well. Not see things correctly. Bias also plays a huge role.

    My position has never changed or wavered, trump been crying about a fake election since early summer. He knew he would lose when Covid hit.

    You want people to prove trump is lying?
    The courts and his hand picked judges, the USSC, have all been saying that for 2 month.

    They've told him, you don't have a case worthy of hearing. Provide proof. Not hearsay.
    No one needs to open a case to see if trump is lying, thats plain old silly.
