Dude, come on. Look at him. Does he run? He can’t even power walk with the old ladies and the failing nearby mall on Sunday mornings let alone run.

This is what it is really about.
Yup, voter suppression...this, too, is what Salty wants.
"voter irregularities" BS.
It’s always one side that wants to make it harder to register and harder to vote.
Historically it was a different side, but yes, always one side...
Yes. Have the people / demographic that are generally impacted changed?
Nope, same sorts of folks and/or their kin and kind, different brand.
Yep.
Let Stacey collect their ballots & be their proxy, ...even if they're dead or residing out of state.
man, you seek new lows huh?
Check out her sister Judge's ruling on out of state voters.

https://www.politico.com/story/2020/12/ ... es-1526009.

USPS changes of address are supposed to purge the voter rolls.
That's one of the safeguards we were assured guarantee's mail in ballot election security.
Provisional ballots, Salty, provisional...you're just wanting more voter suppression, huh
...the judge’s latest order on the matter represented a significant rollback of her initial restriction on Muscogee, which prevented the county from requiring the challenged voters to cast provisional ballots at all. The original restraining order prompted condemnation from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and drew the attention of figures such as Donald Trump Jr., who called out her connection to Abrams to fan allegations of bias.

Trump can’t twitter threat right now. WH staff can’t lean in, they’re half out the door. Leadership isn’t in position to pressure - a mob attacked while they were voting. Conservative media can’t use the tone they so often do. All institutional whip levers marginalized. A first.

Taking away trump's Social Media microphones isn't taking control of the media. That aside, do you believe that Trump had his social media accounts shut down because the Dems are staging a "coup"?

RT @AnaCabrera: Several GOP sources tell CNN that if McConnell supports conviction, Trump almost certainly will be convicted by 67 senators in the impeachment trial.
"If Mitch is a yes, he's done," said one Senate GOP source who asked not to be named. https://t.co/czl7UAtPXO

Impeachment has to happen now while the outrage is still front and center. As Chris Christie is willing to now point out if these acts by Trump aren't impeachable none are, and I would add the ability for congress to ever again serve as a check on the ambitiions of would be dictators will be lost forever. Impeachment won't happen overnight but the snowball has to start rolling.

Too soon to know. Speaker Pelosi's call to Gen Milley last week was unprecedented, especially then repeatedly talking about it in the media.

Agree. The outrage is already brginning to ebb. Schumer's calling for Mitch do an emergency recall of the Senate. Maybe Mitch has the votes now & will try to get Trump convicted by Jan 20. If it slips until after Trump's out of office, imho, the juice is not worth the squeeze.

Just impeached -- no. If convicted, possibly. i don't know if it was coordinated with the Dems, but it will make it harder for Trump's supporters to communicate & organize to resist.
