Republican plan to challenge election signals ‘cult of Trump’ will live on in Biden era
Around 140 Republicans expected vote against counting of electoral college votes, in symbolic move to disrupt Congress and bolster Trump



Maverick super-loyalists to Donald Trump are set to make an audacious spectacle in Washington next week by voting against the formal counting of electoral college votes certifying Joe Biden’s victory.

While the tactic by outliers won’t be enough to stop Biden becoming the 46th president, it will serve to disrupt Congress, bolster Trump and establish an acidic tone to political co-operation with the incoming Democratic administration.

Not counting votes seems to be common theme in the 'cult of Trump'. Some of his nutty believers wanted to bring the military in to make sure people voted the right way in a rerun...

Mr K being utterly and ridiculously one sided again. In everything you post it’s utter one sided, poorly researched drivel. You do know the pathetic and cheating Democrats have challenged the certification of electoral votes, in the last three Republican presidential election victories?

US election: Trump tells Georgia election official to 'find' votes to overturn Biden win

US President Donald Trump has been recorded telling Georgia's top election official to "find" enough votes to overturn the election result.

"I just want to find 11,780 votes," Mr Trump told Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in a recording released by the Washington Post.

Mr Raffensperger is heard replying that Georgia's results were correct.

Joe Biden won Georgia alongside other swing states, winning 306 electoral college votes to Mr Trump's 232.

Since the 3 November vote, Mr Trump has been alleging widespread electoral fraud without providing any evidence.

Has Trump committed an arrestable offence?

Possibly.

Quote:

The lead prosecutor at Trump’s Senate impeachment trial last year added: “Pressuring an election official to ‘find’ the votes so he can win is potentially criminal, and another flagrant abuse of power by a corrupt man who would be a despot, if we allowed him. We will not.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ashington-post

The audio has been released.

I think you meant pathetic and cheating Trump... Along with pardoning all his lackeys, and no doubt himself, he's been caught on tape (again) trying to force the Georgia election official into finding extra votes for him.

Either he's very stupid or just thinks he can get away with it. If it's the latter then its is very worrying for the future of the US.

I just feel very sorry for all Trump's supporters who are now finally seeing him for what he truly is. And to the institutions of the United States which he has denigrated but have saved him from himself.

Stupid or thinks he can get away with it? Neither. He just doesn't seem in good mental health to me.

Both I think, he's certainly taken abuse of power to a whole new level. Can't wait to see the back of the orange dictator.

Quite a few will dismiss it as ”Fake News", and others will say he needs to do it as the Government/Deep State/Courts/Democrats/other Republicans/Soros/Hillary/Obama/etc. are ‘doing the same thing"/cheating/voter fraud/etc....

Trump could order a military coup and his supporters will buy into whatever spin he gives.

Again, poorly researched nonsense you post. Get back to me when you check out who other past presidents have pardoned, far more dodgy people than “Trump’s lackey’s”, before leaving office. Clinton pardoned his own brother, that must have been a lackey. Obama pardoned Oscar Lopez Rivera, a suspected terrorist leader of an organisation responsible for 130 bombings in the US during 1974-1983. And yet here we have yet again, a TDS baseless rant on pardons on Trump associates indicated in a hoax investigation, led by Mueller.

Yes you could say, he is acting like most of the Remoaners, have been on here for last four and half years.

I saw a piss poor attempt by Hugh, to suggest this is like comparing applies with giraffes, because EU ref was advisory, what utter bollocks. No it is not comparing like that at all.

Advisory or not, it was still a democratic mandate, to leave EU, so was 2017 General Election and the more recent 2019 Election that saw a landslide for a party that went on a campaign of respecting the 2016 EU Referendum. Those elections are not advisory btw. So don’t try this comparing bullshit, or even try suggest the EU Referendum, is a different kind of Democracy that it’s result was not important, that the result it created, was meaningless, a result to be ignored. It is not comparing apples and giraffes at all, it’s the same thing and the Remainers on here ranting about Trump not respecting Democracy, do us a favour. Stop being pathetic hypocrites.
