Trump is set to declare Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff as illegitimate senators due to fraud and corrupt elections which, among many things, caused him to lose the 2020 election.
Journalist Pedro L. Gonzalez struck an ominous note by pointing out that Trump also plans on declaring Georgias two senators, Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, to be illegitimate.
This is absolutely bonkers. I genuinely believe at this point that Mango Mussolini is actively trying to trigger a domestic conflict of some kind.
We are in serious trouble, this administration is becoming increasingly unstable and desperate.

His demented mind thinks this will actually mean something. All that will happen is he'll give Democrats their best fundraising day in history.

This is going to end the same as the IRS lawsuit. He won't provide enough information and evidence to make his case.

Why wait until now? You could have declassified them on day one of your second term. Diaper Donny is as full of shit as ever.

The SCOTUS is either blackmailed or otherwise neutralized also. Get ready for a rough ride. We should have asked for international election observers after Jan 6, 2021 during Biden's term.

(30,914 posts)It won't matter. Both senators and Pres. Biden were sworn in, and served their terms. Throwing all the taxpayer money in the world to try to convince anybody differently is just sick.
He just cannot accept loss. If he wasn't so portly, I'd swear he lived on sour grapes.

(35,114 posts)so they can't just single out the two Senate seats? If those two seats are "illegitimate," then so is their Governor and nearly their entire elected state government, including the guy who runs their elections, and 9 of their 14 US House members who are Republicans.

"President Trump is planning to announce that Georgia's two senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, are illegitimate because of fraud, a well-placed source in Georgia tells us. Announcement could come as soon as tonight."
"UPDATE: The White House tells us President Trumps speech will not focus on Georgias 2020 elections.
Georgia Republican source adds to us that they were notified of speech and the upcoming reports initial Georgia election
focus in advance. "
So either this obscure far right Washington media source was BSing, or their "Georgia source" was, or their source (eg Trump) was.

(1,577 posts)AT A MINIMUM the night of the Washington Correspondents Dinner, when Obama roasted him.
AND PROBABLY LONG BEFORE THEN, when Putin took his measure during Trump's quest for a Trump Moscow Hotel and understood that he, Putin, could easily own the amoral American.
IF TRUMP ENJOYED WATCHING THE CAPITOL BUILDING'S BREACHING AND VANDALISM AND VIOLENCE;
IF HE CALLS THE LITERAL DESTRUCTION OF THE WHITE HOUSE "BEAUTIFYING" IT;
IF HE INCESSANTLY CALLS POLITICAL OPPONENTS "ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE" AND LEGITIMATE NEWS OUTLETS "FAKE";
IF HE IS ACTIVELY PURSUING THE OBLITERATION OF OUR TRUE HISTORY IN TERMS OF RACE AND GENDER, INCLUDING FIRING WOMEN AND MINORITIES FROM GOVERNMENT JOBS, DESTROYING RECORDS, BANNING BOOKS, CHANGING SIGNS IN NATIONAL PARKS, ETC.;
IF HE STEALS OUR TAX MONIES;
IF HE DOLES OUT DISASTER AID TO AMERICANS BASED ON THEIR STATES' VOTING;
IF HE ELIMINATES FOOD INSPECTIONS AND DISEASE TRACKING;
AND SO MUCH MORE.......
I think one can and ought conclude that TRUMP HATES THE UNITED STATES AND AMERICANS WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS PSYCHOPATHIC BEING.

(61,295 posts)in 2020. So, they ran in early 2021 and won the runoffs. Warnock's seat was up in 2022 and he again went into a runoff and won again.
All of these were in elections where the GA Secretary of State was Republican. At this point, you would think that Warnock would be legitimate even if Trump's lies about 2020 were true. Ossoff is ahead in his November race.
In 2002, Sununu defeated Shaheen partly because Republicans hired a company to disable the Manchester GOTV by sending hundreds of calls to their phones. Even though people were charged and convicted for doing this, no one pushed to remove Sununu and make Shaheen Senator. (She became Senator in the next election.)

Hell, Mike Johnson spelled it out the other day that Fox was essentially running Trumps protection racket. If we want to take Trump out, we need to take out his protection racket.

(5,629 posts)ass kissing six on one of the most corrupt SCs ever. I don't trust even one of those 6. Every single one of them deserves impeachment, but it will never happen.
The founders made a big mistake letting the politicians decide who is on the court. At the very least the President should have to choose from a vetted list prepared by a panel of Constitutional Scholars, Lawyers, and respected Judges. No political picks of unqualified people. Unfortunately that would take a Constitutional Convention to change and that opens up a whole other can of worms because if I remember other changes can be offered including undesirable ones.
