With their lawsuit approach now withering, it appears they're going after the elector angle with the idea that they can get state legislatures to install their own electors to flip states.
It feels insane to even type... and maybe I am falling victim to the 24 hour news cycle where this stuff is being played up like it could happen just to keep my attention, but I'm feeling rattled.

Re: The Election Thread To Talk About The Election
Reminds me of a Bill Hicks bit about starting a political party for people who hate other people.
"People who hate people... come together!"
"No"
We're having trouble getting up and running
"Are you gonna be there?"
"Yeah"
"Then I ain't coming"
"But you're our strongest member!"

Yup. The cat rockin' out on the left is the perfect touch. Sounds like something Joe Strummer would have played on his radio show.

I suspect that whoever owns Rudy is behind this performance. It would be nice if they actually boycott the runoff though.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Nov 2020, 5:12pmBut wait, there's more!

Re: The Election Thread To Talk About The Election
Speculation is that Rudy is taking point on this absurd effort because he's angling for a pardon—one final expression of loyalty. So many of these people are drenched in criminality and sloppy enough to leave a monkey barrel of evidence that it's hard to discount out of hand these theories.Kimmelweck wrote: ↑21 Nov 2020, 6:51pmI suspect that whoever owns Rudy is behind this performance.

Re: The Election Thread To Talk About The Election
That makes sense. It feels so staged. The speaker might as well be reading texts from a sweat-soaked Rudy off his phone. I agree it’s hard to dismiss the theories when there seems to be no other logical explanation for some of it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Nov 2020, 7:14pmSpeculation is that Rudy is taking point on this absurd effort because he's angling for a pardon—one final expression of loyalty.
