Ben Sasse: "You're Being Scammed, Trump Supporters."

intellect vs emotion
Intellect = R
Emotion = D

Right, because concocting stolen election conspiracy theories is completely intellectual

When's the last time you wrote a program?

I do work in IT, ya know.

Sasse is a RINO. End of story.

You're probably correct at this point because Sasse is an actual conservative and the Republican Party is no longer a conservative party.

He should stand with Trump then. He, Trump, is many more times conservative

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

Yeah, no kidding.

He's a Republican with a backbone, and not one of the slimeballs in the GOP lying to Trump's base for political expediency.

Some members of the House and the Senate are apparently going to object to counting the votes of some states that were won by Joe Biden. Just like the rest of Senate Republicans, I have been approached by many Nebraskans demanding that I join in this project.​

​

Having been in private conversation with two dozen of my colleagues over the past few weeks, it seems useful to explain in public why I will not be participating in a project to overturn the election – and why I have been urging my colleagues also to reject this dangerous ploy. ...​

​

2. IS THERE EVIDENCE OF VOTER FRAUD SO WIDESPREAD THAT IT COULD HAVE CHANGED THE OUTCOME OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?​

​

No.​

​

For President-Elect Biden’s 306-232 Electoral College victory to be overturned, President Trump would need to flip multiple states. But not a single state is in legal doubt. ...​

​

3. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CLAIMS OF THE PRESIDENT’S LAWYERS THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN?​

​

I started with the courts for a reason. From where I sit, the single-most telling fact is that there a giant gulf between what President Trump and his allies say in public – for example, on social media, or at press conferences outside Philadelphia landscaping companies and adult bookstores – and what President Trump’s lawyers actually say in courts of law. And that’s not a surprise. Because there are no penalties for misleading the public. But there are serious penalties for misleading a judge, and the president’s lawyers know that – and thus they have repeated almost none of the claims of grand voter fraud that the campaign spokespeople are screaming at their most zealous supporters. So, here’s the heart of this whole thing: this isn’t really a legal strategy – it’s a fundraising strategy.​

​

Since Election Day, the president and his allied organizations have raised well over half a billion (billion!) dollars from supporters who have been led to believe that they’re contributing to a ferocious legal defense. But in reality, they’re mostly just giving the president and his allies a blank check that can go to their super-PACs, their next plane trip, their next campaign or project. That’s not serious governing. It’s swampy politics – and it shows very little respect for the sincere people in my state who are writing these checks. ...​

​

5. BUT ISN’T IT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST TO INVESTIGATE THESE CLAIMS MORE THOROUGHLY? DOESN’T IT HELP GUARANTEE THE LEGITIMACY OF OUR ELECTORAL PROCESS?​

​

I take this argument seriously because actual voter fraud – and worries about voter fraud – are poison to self-government. So yes, we should investigate all specific claims, but we shouldn’t burn down the whole process along the way. Right now we are locked in a destructive, vicious circle:​

​

Step 1: Allege widespread voter fraud.​

Step 2: Fail to offer specific evidence of widespread fraud.​

Step 3: Demand investigation, on grounds that there are “allegations” of voter fraud. ...​

​

6. DO ANY OF YOUR COLLEAGUES DISAGREE WITH YOU ABOUT THIS?​

​

When we talk in private, I haven’t heard a single Congressional Republican allege that the election results were fraudulent – not one. Instead, I hear them talk about their worries about how they will “look” to President Trump’s most ardent supporters.​

Oh, and for those Trump worshippers who are going to yell "RINO!" RINO now means "Retarded In Name Only"

Sasse is typical of many republicans in the senate with safe seats

he just won reelection with 67% of the vote

so even if biden is the Thief in Chief and if democrats own the House and have a majority in the senate election cheating has not harmed him in any way

except that he is metely the ranking member of his senate committee instead of the chairman

he’ll make big noises about taking the senate back while the democrats run over the best interests of 74+ million voters

does sasse give a damn?

of course not

he’s personally too comfortable to care

That's the political take..and I don't doubt that you're correct--that don't mean he's wrong though--it just means he pays no penalty for appearing brave...by tossing some fine rhetoric out there. But the Trump fundraising thing is true...and a half billion ain't chump change. If Trump can position himself as the rainmaker he thinks he'll keep power..but i think he's wrong...they are going to milk him like a cow..and then carve him up for supper.

NONE of these Republicans believe any of this shit but they're bowing to the crazy right out of political oportunism

President Trump won't back down from challenging the massive Dem election fraud, Dems are freaking out.

Dems are appalled at the attack on our democratic system that Trumpers are engaging in

Did you happen to read post #6?

 

[okfine]

He's trying to save his party. Now they think he's a commie.

Absolutely bizarre.

Most of the MAGAtards have no idea what a commie is. Even if you printed out the definition and handed it to them.

You’re one, there’s that

And fuck you too.

He's not following the law, retard.

The law says there are 0 instances of fraud.

But you low-IQ cultists keep insisting there is.

Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia beg to differ. That's enough electoral votes flipped around to decertify Corrupt
Joe's theft. Have a good cry, scum bag. All your lies have been for naught.

I've yet to come across any non-cultist using that expression.

Are you claiming that the Constitution empowers governors and state courts to override the constitutional prerogative of the several states' legislatures regarding the conduct of elections involving the appointment of electors or are you just spouting slogans again? You do realize that SCOTUS declined to hear Texas' challenge in terms of standing, not in terms of merit? You do know that there's a line of judicial precedent regarding the several states' legislative prerogative per the appointment of electors? You do realize that there was never really a hope in hell that Texas' would win the day even if SCOTUS had voted to hear its challenge given the political repercussions? In other words, you do realize that SCOTUS demurred strictly for political reasons, right?

No, of course you don't grasp any of these things because you're a statist bootlick of a know-nothing doofus.

Chaos and riots would have been the result if the constitutional imperative had been observed by SCOTUS after the election. That's why the flagrant usurpation on the part of state executives and judges should have been quashed before the election.

 

[schmidlap]

Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia beg to differ.

Actually, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia all beg to concur.

Biden won all three. All certified the results - two of the three with Republican administrations of integrity.

The Constitution gives the state legislators the final say with regard to electoral votes.
You were probably too busy making your funny pictures for your posts yesterday when I documented that
information.
The legislatures in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia have all seen evidence of epic election fraud and decided
their electoral votes are better spent on Donald Trump. Not on the deceitful and scummy Chinese lackey,
Joe Biden (since they were gained mostly by fraud and lying).

You will find out on January sixth. I won't waste my words on worthless trash anymore.
