Or maybe a partisan state AG failing to act where a serious crime was committed in plain view? https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/elviadiaz/2022/01/14/what-do-arizona-fake-trump-electors-lock-them-up/6529192001/

I tend to agree with this Pennsylvania comment. In that case, the people involved specifically stated they were submitting a document based on a contingency. They did not try to pass themselves off as the true electors for their states.

So you say. Obviously, a number of state and federal officials disagree, or at least think the matter is worth investigating further before agreeing that things are as obvious as you claim. For example, "Attorney General Dana Nessel of Michigan said this week that she believed there was enough...

This definition, plucked quickly off the internet, works for this discussion: "Under common law, forgery is committed when a person makes or alters a writing so that it is false with the intent to defraud." The definition of forgery under various state and federal laws is likely being...

No, it's not obvious. Forged documents were improperly submitted under false pretenses by unauthorized individuals to the National Archives. The real documents were submitted by the actual officials in each state. The National Archives recognized them as improper and sent the questionable...

It's no longer the case that the story relies on "unnamed sources." One person involved in the alledgedly fraudulent electors scheme has come forward and is talking in public about what this group did and why. He is confirming what CNN previously reported. While many are saying this was a...

It's hard to take the Washington Post seriously when you have a fiercely partisan bias and limit yourself with all-or-nothing thinking like you do. Some parts of the story can be dismissed as not news. Other parts are valid. You miss a lot when you instinctively dismiss a source of any kind...

The opposing viewpoints will be the big challenge. An earlier social platform attempt by Trump was nixed by the open-source licensing entity specifically because Trump was unwilling to agree to the letter and spirit of open source, which is all about allowing opposing viewpoints. Given Trump's...

I had forgotten about TruthSocial. It was announced some time ago and then the story faded. Now we're hearing a launch date of Feb 21. According to this reporting, it may launch then but likely in a limited fashion. There are more unknowns than knowns. Social media platforms are not easy to...

Trump people have been saying for months that Trump will be starting a new social media site. So far, Trump has collected a ton of money from investors with such statements. He's cashed in on that. But no social media site yet. Do you know when he will start his new social media site? On what do...

It seems an increasing number of Republicans agree with you.

They have Kamala Harris, which is the next best thing to "nobody," but not by much.

That's true of some cases but the recent U.S. Supreme Court action was quickly concluded; and it was anything but inconsequential. The IMMEDIATE impact was the U.S. House select committee gaining access to National Archives documents Trump sought to keep from them; and the documents started...

This is an opinion piece but includes some poll data that suggests DeSantis is overcoming Trump faster and more decisively than I first thought. "The DeSantis takeover move is made possible by Trump’s flagging support among Republicans. As Trump has moved out of the public eye (and the social...

Maybe. But there will be no super majority in the Senate, so no veto-proof bills.

I stand corrected. I was not aware of this show and podcast. My comment was based on Giuliani's disappearance from Fox news and other media outlets where he was often seen before. Obviously, it is not true that Giuliani has "gone quiet." That said, the pressure on Giuliani remains intense, and...

I said above that Trump is in deep trouble and sinking deeper. Last night, additional news broke that is not good for Trump. The news is actually about Rudy Giuliani and other Trump campaign officials. It remains to be seen what involvement, if any, Trump himself had in the reported...

It seems to be generally accepted by Republicans and Democrats alike that the Democrats are going to lose the U.S. House in the 2022 elections and the Republicans will take over on Jan 3, 2023. And it seems generally expected that the Republicans will slow or outright terminate the Jan. 6 select...

Interesting perspective. Thinking about what you said, I spend zero time thinking about how people who disagree with me here might respond to my posts. While participation here is entertaining, the entertainment does not come at other people's expense. I don't post for the purpose of provoking...

It gets more real for Trump every day. And given yesterday's Supreme Court ruling that obliterates Trump's executive privilege claim, this DA's investigation will be unimpeded by that claim and/or delay tactic. This DA is investigating Trump for "... potential violations of Georgia law...
