    It was legal and they are called "alternate elector" on "fraudulent electors" ..
    The Electoral Count Act of 1887.. look it up. educate yourself and get back to us.
    ""everything that was done was done legally by the Trump legal team, according to the rules, and under the leadership of Rudy Giuliani," Epshteyn said.

    What is amazing is we are rehashing old news... and now everyone is trying to treat this as a new "thing"

    Just think about it.... if Nancy Pelosi could have thrown this in with the 2nd fake impeachment garbage.... , do you not think she would have... there is no meat on this bone...

    You've helped prove my point. If this scheme is not illegal, then we need Congress to investigate it because law enforcement and the courts can't do anything about this form of abuse. Of course, there is much more than just the "alternate electors" issue. Trump expected Pence to go along with this but Pence made the right choice. It was up to him to do the right thing. He could have made the wrong choice and failed the country, and then what? And then there is what Trump attempted in Georgia, of course, expecting election officials to "find" votes for him. But that one may yet be dealt with by law enforcement, thank the FSM.

    Yeah, we have seen a belly full of Democrat false claims and outright lies over the last 5 years to last a lifetime. I could list 30 right off the top of my head.
    The most partisan corrupt party to ever hold office. More than happy to murder Americans for their own political goals which they proved over and over again to the point they will coddle criminals (George Floyd) just to act like they are more woke.
    So you can save all this holeyer than thou for the next poster. You can't sell it here.

    You mean anyone who doesn't agree with you has to be a Trump supporter. Yeah, we know.
    But its been fun watching Republicans expose Democrats for what they really are. Two faced lying snakes.

    Definition: I don't like it when Republicans publicly humiliate my comrades for falsifying testimony, evidence, and witnesses like they did in both fake impeachment attempts, the exposing Senate trials that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Democrats had falsified documents and records, the hearings in both fake impeachment attempts where every witness questioned by Republicans showed how Schiff had lied to the country about his claims, the Kavanaugh fake rape claims, and the fake Russian conspiracy disaster.

    Democrats are as fake and exposed as Jussie Smollet.

    Nonsense, none of that qualifies as an attempted coup. Congressional investigations and the impeachment process are all fully constitutional. Attempting to overthrow an election fraudulently and/or violently (in this case) fully qualifies as an attempted coup. You're making **** up, but then again what else would one expect from a Trump worshiper.

    Great fiction as usual. There was no need for this idiotic circle jerk. Democratic fear and desperation swamps the swamp yet again. The make up of the committee is enough to demonstrate its utter uselessness.

    As I said I have no affiliation to any phony political party. I hold that the last half dozen or more Presidents of both parties were and are war criminals and pathological liars. That said I stand by my statement that any fool with working neurons KNOWS this was an attempted coup, it's not even arguable (except to typical Trump worshipers who are in denial).

    It is whether they think so or not.

    A commission to investigate a guy and a buffalo hat in conspiracy to put feet on pelosi's desk.

    There's nothing really to investigate we all saw what happened

    Yes the reaction to January 6th is partisan. Democrats won a freak out about it and use it to cry victim and pretend like it was an insurrection.

    Everyone else has common sense.

    When you don't know what you're talking about you shouldn't open your mouth.

    It was spearheaded by Ray Epps. Trump had nothing to do with it.

    Your statement conflicts with your claim. I am not trump supporter. I voted for Jo. Perhaps the truth is in your wording and maybe a fool would believe this crowd was equipment to seize control of the US government armed with sticks and a fuzzy hat with horns. I can see a fool believing that. No reasonable person would believe such a tall claim. This group was equipped to seize control of a Walgreens, maybe.

    Wrong answer…. It was an attempted coup by our own government with a thumbs up from Obama and crime boss Joe to overthrow a duly a elected president. All documented and no one is held accountable.

    No one "opens their mouth" in this forum, are you hearing voices when you click on this website?

    Says a Trump worshiper (in denial of course).

    Think of the coup attempt in three parts. 1. The false accusations of voter fraud at the state level while calling for investigations even after vote counts had been verified. 2. The various attempts to replace the legit slates of electors with fake ones and or push crazy legal theories as to how the legit slates could be rejected. 3. Pressure on Pence to stop the certification of Biden's election.

    Yeah I posted about delusional Trump worshipers a few posts ago. But you do have one thing correct, since Trump was President on 1/6, it was an attempted coup from at least one element within our pretend government. Then again, you also have it correct that they're all criminals (not sure who's the "boss" at any given time though).

    Nope, your perception of my post in what's in conflict.

    Your post is not complicated. You believe this group was equipped to seize control of our government armed with sticks and a fuzzy hat with horns. You are entitled to believe that, but it doesn't put you in a position to call anyone a fool. Now if they had 2 guys in fuzzy hats, maybe they had a chance!

    After the democrats gave us the now debunked and prove false "Russiagate" its hard to take any democrat led investigation. The only real investigation to me is the one done by professionals. That is the FBI. The rest is just politics and not worthy of my attention.

    Our system DID stop him. The People elected his opponent. The EC did its job. The court challenges Trump made were all dismissed. The Vice President refused to subvert the certification vote. There was a demonstration at the Capitol that turned into a riot, disrupting the timing of that vote, so the vote was taken later. Trump left office, and Biden took office. Our system didn’t stop him from trying to overturn the election, but it stopped him from succeeding. I would say it’s a pretty strong system.

    I can think of a LOT of things I would like Congress to focus on, but they won’t because they are not politically palatable to the House Democrats. But this IS politically palatable to them.

    It’s politics instead of addressing our real problems.

    I'm not sure the FBI is equipped to do this investigation. There was a follow-up event scheduled in September that's the only people that showed up to or federal agents in fact one person was arrested this event for having a firearm on them happened to also be a federal agent.

    I think the FBI is bad news the only crimes they can solve are the ones they commit

    I mean I can see how you can say that after everything that has come out about the Whitmer Kidnapping case. I wonder how she feels being a governor and knowing that FBI plotted and financed your kidnapping. Probably not a great feeling.

    Your misconception is what's not complicated.

    It's exactly what I mean about Trump worshipers, they weren't, I never said they were and I did say several times it was an attempted coup. Look up the highlighted word if you have trouble with the English language. I'm so sorry you have such poor reading comprehension and you need to resort to inventing what I believe as a result of your problem.

    It's too bad I call it as I see it and it's post like yours that certainly do put me in a position to do just that. And the above invented nonsense on your part confirms that I'm 100% correct.

    Not even close. This group was not equipped to seize control of a Home Depot.

    No, 100% correct.

    We all have our version of "reality". There is reality and there's the "reality" of Trump worshipers. The difference is that the "reality" of Trump worshipers just so happens to be in lockstep with Trump's version of "reality" at all times. The rest have their own independent version of reality.
