This is a crap timeline, made even crappier by a lot of the people in it.

SI

Yep. If people acted in concert for the greater good, we’d be in a much better place.

I'm fairly certain no one has come close to losing while winning all the states Biden won.

Georgia speaker is moving to amend the state constitution to make the Secretary of State a position appointed by the legislature. Republicans fear nothing more than democracy.

The other part of the "what happens next" question!

Now up to 126 GOP Reps that support the Texas lawsuit.

2022 primaries are sure going to be interesting.

And two new states have joined as well-New Nevada and New California

I wish they'd hold off leaking stuff like this until he is out of office. Don't make him feel cornered. Hell, leak a complete lie that "prosecutors doubt they will bring charges."

I prefer Nude Nevada and Nude California.

Having been to nude beaches, the people you want to be nude rarely are and the people you'd like to stay clothed generally don't.

This.

I wish the Dems had the stones to press this.

I may have to move to one of those if this stupid stab in the dark succeeds. :)

For those more in the know, is there a point when this gets concerning?

I think we're well past the point of this being concerning. We have a majority of the GOP declaring that SCOTUS should overturn the election because they don't like the outcome and feel the GOP-appointed justices owe them. AT this point it's hard to know whether this is an ending or the beginning of a more anti-democratic future.

yeah. Long term I agree it is already concerning. I guess I should have been more specific. In the short term are there any actual worries they could overturn the election, or delay the electoral college?

I realize the concept of an armed civil war is so alien, but is we were watching this happen in another country we would think there is no way their democracy would survive.

There's a lot of dry tinder on the ground and I worry a lot about what happens if there's a spark. A shooter taking out an elector next week could push things into a violent phase pretty quickly.

Nah

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has denied Texas' last-ditch effort to overturn the election results in four battleground states that voted for Joe Biden. https://t.co/tZ1Vepu0Oh

Acting with unusual speed, the Supreme Court has rejected the lawsuit from Texas attorney general Ken Paxton that President Trump supported, per @Arianedevogue.

Hope it was 9-0

Alito and Thomas said the Court was required to hear the case, but that they would not grant any injunction, so it sounds like 7-2 on whether to bother hearing the case, 9-0 if they had heard the case.

I believe those two about as much as they actually believe in God and that they aren't Him.

So much losing. Hahaha

Parler is in full meltdown mode.

Wow.

Just a few samples from the #SCOTUS hash tag.

To all you limp wristed #SCOTUS FUCK YOU!! I HOPE THE GIFTS YOU RECIEVED FROM THE LEFT ARE MAKING YOU HAPPY!! I AM SO PISSED RIGHT NOW!!


#scotus rules FOR an illegal national election - may their souls burn in hell




Pray for America. We’re fucked. Lady Liberty sure is disappointed tonight. 🥺😤 #stopthesteal #godblesstexas #texaslawsuit #supremecourt #scotus

I'm so pissed that our constitution is no better than the paper we wipe out ass with it's useless if even #SCOTUS won't abide by it


Fire every single #scotus !!! Every single one !!!!


So I guess we are back to talking about secession now, am I right? #SCOTUS #stopthesteal #Trump2020Landslide









SCOTUS just gave Georgia permission to cheat in the January Senate election. SCOTUS just legalized voter fraud.

#SCOTUS are cowards. Of course you know...this means war.

Oh..and just lovely...

There’s about to be a lot more Kyle Rittenhouse’ in the streets. Stay loaded my friends. Cometh ye commie f@cks.

I mean, what part of the constitution did they violate?

TX GOP basically calling for secession.

They can call it... a... Confederacy of states?

Dammit. I want to live in the West Germany side of things not the East Germany side

iis it lowering your iq as you read?

If it makes you feel any better, in 70 years time your equivalent of Berlin will be the coolest city in the world. Honestly, wow, what a place!

Parlertakes on twitter gives me enough highlights without needing to soil my equipment.

Parlertakes is the best

Which is more popular next step on Parler right now, “succession” or “Marshall” law?

Lot of violent internet fantasies on those sites. Guessong this will lead to some more right wing terrorist attacks.

Is Twitter done for everyone?

Good to know our system of checks and balances still work ... albeit with holes to be patched.

Well, he got a vaccine approved before the election. It’ll be interesting to see if it’s enough to sway enough electors when they meet on Monday.

So... Austin?

SI

State of the universe right now:

Succession is trending because MAGA loonies can’t spell secession.

Good thing California's Calexit plan/attempt at secession has failed (so far). Otherwise TX would have a template to go by.

There are plenty of foods that are good at soiling your equipment

In case anyone was wondering if being smacked down by the highest court in the land would quiet him as he realizes it is over...

No.

I am sure he will create his own super. amazing, even higher, best court ever full of judges with courage and patriotism and finally get his vindication. Chief Justice Lindsey Graham anyone?

So, back to the original poll...how DOES this end? Continued tantrums, maybe another stupid legal maneuver or twenty, and a competing rally on 1/20?

Surely he won't have to be physically removed, if for no other reason than how weak that would make him look.

A lot of GOP Politicians said back in November that they would accept Biden as President-Elect "When the Electoral College voted" or "After the Supreme Court ruled on any cases."

I am sure that seemed so far away when they said it. Surely, the problem will have resolved itself by then.

Sort of like getting a two-week extension on a term paper. "I'll have lots of time to write the paper now!"

Well, the paper's due on Monday, guys. How's that going for you?

Looks like #3 to me. But the "give up" should be "give up but with continued bitching".
