The Ultimate Electoral College Counting Thread!

Alright buckle up with me folks, let’s live tweet this whole thing and have a discussion of what happens!

Let’s Jump in!

🧵THREAD🧵
Thread Summary

-Quick overview of the law
-What I expect to happen today
-Historical fun times in Electoral College history (w/ videos!)
-Look to see how Trumpism is dealing with life
-Live tweeting the EC

Ask questions, make comments, send me tweets from idiots, anything!
“Can Pence Throw out votes?”
No. The Constitution says Pence opens all certified votes and then announces them, and asks for objections.

That's it.

The ECA only adds two things: Pence asks for objections, and maintains orders.

That's it.

The main thing you need to know is that the law says that the electors that were certified by the states before safe harbor day “shall be conclusive”.
“But can’t electors be objected to?”

Yes! But once that happens, it goes to a separate vote by the House and Senate
“But aren’t there alternate Electors?”

No. The law is very clear, the Governor of each state must certify them and ensure they get to the National Archives, who then sends them to the Vice President. Look at the National Archive list for yourself:
“What if Pence just decides to do what he wants?’

Since it’s a joint session, they should just kick Pence out and have the Pro Tempore of the Senate (Chuck Grassley) preside

Senate PT have presided over the counting of the electoral votes at least twice before, 1857 and 1969
So what do I expect to happen?

Not much really, I expect the votes to be opened and counted, and when Pence asks for objection, there will be a sustained objection and both houses will retire to debate for two hours and then vote

Pence will then announce Biden as the winner.
“What, you expect it to be boring?!?!”

Yes.

But that doesn’t mean WE can’t have fun!

(In the back of my mind I see Pence resigning, but I doubt it)
______________________________

So let's take a look at some cool moments in Electoral College history! These will also give you a good idea of how things will happen today.
1857: We tune into the joint session of Congress where there is a tense debate going on.

Senators are objecting to the counting of the votes by the Presiding officer. They ask the tellers for a count, and are informed that the tellers forgot to count!
1981: Walter Mondale announces his own defeat to Ronald Regan (on his own birthday no less), what a gem of a moment!

Reagan gets a lot of credit for his humor, but this guy knew how to take a joke

1989: The teller reading the Arkansas vote forgot one tiny detail...
2001: Al Gore

Funny moments here as Gore shuts down attempts to contest the Florida Electors.

“The Chair will advise that the rules do care”

Original link:
2009: Ohio sends an electoral slate paperwork that is the size of Texas!
2017: Biden shuts down multiple objections to certifying the votes for Trump.

Wonder why he didn’t just overturn the election!

politico.com/story/2017/01/…
_______________________________________________

Now to crazy town to see how Trumpism is dealing with today...

Let’s start with Lin Wood, and yep, it’s just business as usual
Cool story bro Image
Apparently it’s all Obama and Italy’s fault!

(I get the Obama fetish, but why Italy?!?!)
You guys will enjoy these videos @AviWoolf @BenVAllison
That reminds me, what happened to the servers in Frankfurt? Did anything happen with that? Or?
I really don't care to listen to Trump's speech, but here is someone with a stronger stomach than me:

Back to crazy town:

Tracy Beanz still hates me, so I had a good morning! Image
Apparently Eric Trump plans on personally running in something like 30 primaries over the next 4 years!
Rudy is, well, Rudy..

This deserves to be said again!
I'm not familiar with joint session parliamentary rules, but I believe they can just vote to remove the presiding officer.

The Presiding officer is just that, presiding, he's just there to keep the meeting moving and maintain order.

Back to the Trump speech...

Maybe the Attorney General isn't the President's personal attorney? Image
Excellent point!

Parliamentary rules have been around for hundreds of years, and while they are not LAW, they do govern how these proceedings go.

nytimes.com/2021/01/05/us/…

Image
Pence is walking into the House of Representatives.

*Imperiral Death March theme*
Wow, the Vice President just released a statement saying that

HE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER

(duh.)
Pence basically just declared war on Trump.

4 years too late, but better late than never.
Pence is calling the meeting to order.

He lays out the process.
Pence "debate is not permitted in the joint session"

He isn't going to take any bullshit.
Okay, they are starting to announce the Electoral votes. Pence asks for any objections (this is unusual, usually there are only objections at the end)

If you haven't already seen these videos, take a look to see how this process plays out
Electors from Arizona have been objected to. Pence asks if the objection is in order and in writing, and signed by a Senator

The Republicans have a standing ovation Image
Okay, so they are going to have a vote after each objection, I was wrong about this, I thought that they were going to combine them.

They are separating and going to have a two hour debate.
You misspelled Constitution.

Sorry, had a work call!

So they are laying out the ground work, Mitch McConnel is speaking
Damn, he is going off

"We are debating whether or not we can overturn the will of the voters"

"Wn my 38 years I have never had a vote this important."

His voice is cracking.
"Judges have looked at the claims"

Oh, look what I have right here:
McConnell "We cannot simply declare ourselves a national elections board on steroids"
McConnell:

"The voters, the courts, the states, have all spoken. If we overrule them, we will damage our republic forever"
McConnell

"if this election was overturned on mere allegations, our democracy would enter a death spiral"
This speech will be repeated often.
I never thought I would say this.

Today, Mitch McConnell is the man.
McConnell

"We must not escalate what we repudiate"
1) He does believe in something

2) He sees a path out from under Trump's domination of the GOP
Chuck Schumer speaks now as Minority Leader. He is laying out the law and the responsibility of the Senate to reject this effort.
Their delusion continues.

They don't want to admit that Trump lost, and lost bigly. They want someone else to blame.
RE what I was saying earlier, and he is right, McConnell knows what side of history he wants to be on.
The moron brigade
Schumer is boring AF....

He's right, but it's boring as all get out
SCOTUS ruled that "legislative body" as referenced in the Constitution means any law making body.

So it is not legitimate (plus they would need a court to say if the law was broken)

oyez.org/cases/2014/13-…

Ted Cruz is now speaking, and apparently because people believe the election is fraudulent they should have a commission.

He brings up 1876, but ignores the law written in 1887 which addresses the problem facing Congress!
Trump says "we have a responsibility to count the votes" but ignores that counting does not mean not counting.
CRUZ!!! lol, not Trump
Cruz wants a commission to see if the states obeyed the Constitution and the federal law.

Now on to Amy Klobuchar
Yeah, they have a habit of forgetting facts!
Tuning over to Fox, looks like capital police are charging the ground, they are evacuating people from Capitol Grounds
Foxnews "Some part of this crowd tried to break the barriers to the capitol"
And there was a "suspicious package" according to fox which lead to the evacuation. Probably just a precaution
To be clear, this was just an evacuation of the grounds, not the building, Senate and House still debating inside
Some live look at the action

h/t @ntsbfh

People are charging the east side of the capitol, they are trying to storm the building, NBC news
Blood and injuries are being report. They are on the steps right now. There will be a response from Capitol police at some point Image
I never thought I would see people storm the US Capitol.

I also bet those are some very strong doors. Image
Pence has left the Senate chambers, not sure if that is in regards to the security threat. It's also not necessary that he stays, the debate is still ongoing.
Looks like it was because of the Security threat, both House and Senate have recessed because of the security threats
For anyone who is wondering, there are many underground passages from the Capitol building (there is even an underground tram). They extend all over the National Mall, so that is how the Senators and Reps have left the Capitol. Image
Little too late now.

It is who you are.

THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED TO HAPPEN.

You lied to these people and you wanted them to riot.
REALLY? He's not going to ask for calm? He's going to fuel the fire more?

Well, I definently did not have the Capitol building being evacuated on my bingo card.

How incompetent are the police to let this happen?

They should have had several hundred police in position to deal with this scenario. You knew what their target would be.
Looks like they did get in the capitol building.

If these were BLM, they would've been shot by now.

No.
Funnily enough, you are not on the side of our Country.
You think?!? How were they not in position to begin with!?

They will also have to sweep the Capitol for Explosives, right?
I really hope this doesn't mean what it sounds like .
How is this not unbreakable plexiglass?
Well, this aged well.

#Capitol #Trump
You stirred them up with your lies!

You have no one to blame but yourself.

Words have consequences, and we are seeing the consequences of YOUR words.
You were right.
Image
Cruz needs to be censured.

Regarding the military:

1) There is understandable hesitancy about sending them in during a discussion about the election.

2) I'm glad I don't have to make this decision.

3) This has become a threat to the stability of our nation.
Lord, protect this woman
NBC is reporting that a person was shot by law enforcement, assuming it's the same person as the last tweet mentioned.
Finally.
This will go down, in my mind, as the most memorable day in American history since 911.

Amen.
They tore down the American Flag and replaced it with a Trump flag.
Just checked Pence's account, this is true, what the heck?

Yes.

Yeah, this is what I was afraid of. I have a feeling Congress will have to find somewhere else to do the rest of the counting.
Character always matters.
Pence needs to become president now.
My fear is how long would it take for them to do a thorough job in sweeping a giant building.

He still cant find it within himself to be presidential.
This is the most significant moment in American history since 9/11.

Tell me how you guys are feeling, what are your emotions right now in the middle of it
Exactly as I feared.
Absolutely, I hugged my daughter very tightly when she got home from school. I don't cry very often, but this isn't often.
I'll drink to that
I really want to believe this, because I've said it over and over and over again.

I just don't know. I'm so far past the point of caring if someone thinks the election is stolen. The gloves came off today. Image
CNN reporting that a Republican Congressman said "the President incited this violence"

Impeach him.
Great tweeted speech from Rand Paul.
soooo.... Image
How amazing would it be for Trump to be impeached again by a Muslim woman?
This, a thousand times, this..

Limited government is supposed to be a Republican principle. Limit the hell out of the Executive Branch.

Riot police now clearing the steps. I don't know if they have cleared the inside yet.

One of them are helping an old lady down the steps.

If she was BLM, they would've pushed her.
WTF

In all the WTF moments of today.

WTF

Holy shit.
Correct, the National Archives receives several copies from the states.

I'm torn on this. I want them to face the full reality that they are on the wrong side of history.

I want them to screw their careers so badly, we have forgotten each of their names until we see the movie about this event.
I hope you are right.
I don't know the scenario of this.

But I do know Trump is responsible for murder.

He is justifying it.

#ImpeachTrump

When I was 11 or 12, we visited the Capitol. Our Congressman at the time, Pete Sessions, took my siblings and I down on the floor (which was in session).

I remember passing through security barrier after security barrier.
How it started..... How it's going

#Trump #Capitol #CapitolHill ImageImage
Twitter removed the Presidents tweet.

Just ban him already. Image
Hearing that the proceedings will be resumed at 8 EST.

I have a feeling it will be longer than that, but there is no way in hell I am going to bed now.
Good. 11 more to go.
My word. If this was a black man chasing a police officer he would've been shot.

I heard on CNN that they were given orders to protect life and abandom the building. I don't know where those orders came from. But I garrantee it will be investigated.

I wonder what it feels like to have history reach out and slap you to get you on the right side of it.

We may have seen the last tweet Donald Trump will ever make.

Good riddance.

What planet are you on right now?!?!

This needs to happen. Hawley needs to be censored. Image
This I don't know.

Honestly though, I think that anything is on the table at this point.

I meant his career needs to be FUBAR!

Moron alert:
Hero Alert: Image
Pence back in the Capitol speaking!

"The people who invaded this building did not win"
Pence

"lets get back to work"
McConnell reopens the objection on Arizona.

"The US Senate will not be intimidated"

"We will not bow to lawlessness or intimidation"
McConnell

"Congress has faced worse threats than the unhinged crowd outside"
McConnell

"We will certify the winner of the 2020 election"
Schumer:

"These were not protesters, they were goons and thugs, and domestic terrorists"
Schumer

"These mobs were incited by Trumps words"

"These days events certainly would not have happened without him"
Schumer

"Let us remember, all that was accomplished was to delay us by a couple hours"
Lankford R-Oklahoma

"We talk it out in our disagreement"

"We do not encourage what happened today"
Lankford

"people in my state want answer, but they don't want this"
Lankford

"Obviously the commission we had asked for will not happen"

"tonight we will confirm Joe Biden as President"
The mood is very somber in the Senate.

There is a cloud, a very dark cloud on these proceedings
Masto- D Nevada started speaking about Trump's responsibility, now she is moving into what the Constitutional duty of Congress is.

Congress is just there to count.
Mike Lee R Utah

"we swore an oath to the constitution"

"it makes clear our responsibility"

"The states shall appoint electors"

we are to "open and count, that's all there is"
Lee goes over that the only time Congress can step in is when there are two electors

"Thank God that did not happen here"
Yep. It sure seems that way.

Lee

"In no state did I see any intention to alter the electors"

that makes Congress' job "a simple one"
I kind of want to see him crash and burn.

LEE again reiterates that Congress has no role to do anything but open the votes and count them

Senator from CO stands to speak.
Sen from CO "What happened to the Roman Senate when armed gangs prevented them from doing their job"

"These armed gangs kept election from happening"

"the Roman Republic fell because of them"
Everyone who voted in this poll was right.
Leoffler - R Georgia

"When I came this morning, I intended to object. Today's events have lead me to change this"

HOLY SHIT
WE HAVE THE FIRST ONE DOWN

Leoffffellrer (i gave up on the spelling) is reading in a complete monotone. She is done.
VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE ANSWER EXCEPT IN DEFENSE

Loeffler only spoke for about 2 minutes, never had any emotion at all
Tim Kaine speaking, just going over the evidence that fraud did not happen in AZ
Yes, this was the first applause of the night. No other speaker had any reactions follow their statement

Cory Booker is speaking now, very passionately about voter fraud
I always try to be polite. But I never try to be nice. Image
I unfortunantly don't remember who said this, but yeah, the fact that not a single Republican Senator has come out to say there WAS fraud is proof of this
Ben Sasse R - NE Starts by thanking VP for fulfilling his constitutional duty

"This building has been desecrated, blood has been spilled"
Sasse is also trying to lighten the mood.

"I don't think we want to tell our kids that America's best days are behind us, because that's not true"

Sasse

"The Constitution is the greatest political document in history"

He isn't wrong.

"God gave us rights, government is how we protect them"
Sasse

"You can't do big things with other Americans if you hit your neighbor"

"Love your neighbor"
Back to the Democrats.

Sasse's message was good, it was sweet hometown advice.
Durbin D- Minority Whip

"This building is a symbol of hope and unity"

"this is a sacred place. This sacred place was desecrated by a mob today"
Durbin

"This mob was invited to Washington on this day, by this President for this reason."

Trump "Wanted to disrupt the Constitutional process"
Durbin Brings up the #trumptapes, says "the lengths he goes to is obvious"

"No evidence whatsoever of fraudulence"
Durbin mocks Cruz's "little commission", points out that the other commission Cruz cites "re-enslaved blacks, and instituted Jim Crow laws"

I don't know this part of the history
Roger Marshal - R Kansas

Says that as a doctor he often had to give bad diagnosis, today's decision is from the heart he says

"We must restore confidence in the Electoral process"

Then he goes on to say that state legislatures were usurped by courts/govs/etc.
Pelosi is speaking in the House now

to the rioters "you have failed"

"Justice will be done"
Pelosi

"My colleagues, it's time to move on"

"Let us pray that God will continue to bless America"
Back to the Senate, Sen. Paul

"I wrote a speech for today that if Congress could overthrow the election, we would risk violence. Boy I was right"
Paul "this isn't about an electoral commission, this is about overturning a state certified election"

"This is the opposite of states rights"

"This would destroy the electoral college"

Paul is nailing this.
Wow.

Paul "we must restore confidence and integrity in our process"
Democratic Senator holding up his phone showing

"photos of thugs in the Capitol"

"They are priceless for our adversaries"
Sen Hawley is now speaking, thanks the police, condemns the violence.

"Here in this lawful process" is the way to handle it.

He is speaking straight to the camera, which is weird
The traitor Hawley continues: The State of PA is concerning, apart from fraud, they didn't follow their own constitution

This tells me that they won't protest the other electoral slates. This is the time to talk set aside to talk about ARIZONA
OMG, no kidding!

Image
Exactly, this tells me that he thought his best points were about PA, and that they probably won't protest the electoral slate from PA.
He's the Republican's only hope!
One can only hope.

I really can't wait to hear about the conversations that took place while they were in the bunker. That will make for some fascinating history.

I've lost track of who is speaking, Democratic Senator. Just going off on the allegations of voter fraud.

Did see this image! lol Image
Romney is up

"Today is heartbreaking"

"I think of all the people" around the world "who see tthis building as a place of hope"
Romney points to the room

"we gather due to a selfish man's injured pride"

Trump "stirred the actions of this morning"
Romney

Those who supported Trump "Will be remembered for their shameful role in this episode"

"no Congressional audit will convince these voters"
Romney

"The best way to convince them is by telling them the truth"

20 second standing ovation.
Romney

"The truth is, Biden won"
Romney

"Refrain from further objections, unanimously affirm the legitimacy of the presidential election"
Romney leaves, excellent speech.

I seriously doubt there will be any more objecting to an electoral slate.
A Democratic Senator is speaking.

I want to make a point here, these MAGAts who charged the Capitol accomplished the exact opposite of what they wanted to do.

They destroyed any chance of the election being delayed (not that that chance was high)
lol, someone's phone is ringing on the Senate floor. There are very strict rules that don't allow phones, but I have a feeling those rules are out the window tonight!
Portman R - Ohio, thanks Pence for fulfilling his duty.

"I felt is was necessary to speak"

"We will not be intimidated"

"I stand with the Constitution, the people and the states hold the power, not us"
I don't think I will be sleeping tonight....

To invoke the 25th, you have to have the cabinet. Image
They have all fallen.
I have no doubt in the final result of that.

I want to know if Trump will be removed from office.

This isn't surprising.
News is flying in here.

Trump will not be president by this time tomorrow.

**** ****** **** ****

You will never hear the word b*ring leave my mouth again.

I will go smash my crystal ball now...

Going to try and brush up quickly on the 25th amendment
25th Amendment Summary #1

Okay, so the 25th really isn't complicated. If the Vice President and a majority of the cabinet decide that the president is unfit for office, they will let the Senate and House know. Image
25th Amendment Summary #2

When they let Congress know, the Vice President IMMEDIATELY takes over the the responsibilities of the President.
25th Amendment Summary #3

If the President contests this, The VP and cabinet and leaders of Congress must say "nope, sorry!" within four days.
25th Amendment Summary #4

Congress then has 21 days to vote. For the 25th amendment to stick, both houses must have 2/3rds majority.

So potentially, they could just wait out that time, avoiding needing that 2/3 majority
25th Amendment Summary #5

One thing to note, they have to assemble within 48 hours to discuss the issue, but they don't have to vote.
While I was away, Lyndsay Graham poked fun at the idea that Pence could alter the election.

They are also counting up the votes on the motion to contest Arizona
Essentially, the 25th means that Pence and the Cabinet could remove Trump immediately, and then Congress just has to play along and let Trump's term expire. They wouldn't need the 2/3 majority

Pence would be acting president for that time.
Objection is not sustained 6-93

Once the House finishes up, they will recombine.

The house still has a ways to go.
MAGA land

"This is all apart of the plan!"
You know that someone somewhere said this...

Rip my mentions.... Image
F me. Image
You're laughing cause you don't have a notifications bar that is lighting up like a freaking Christmas tree!

Hi new followers, you probably are here for this tweet.

I shouldve been clearer:

I would rather lose the Republican Party and Trump, than the American Constitution.
Okay, so anyways, if you're still here, we have been live tweeting the day!

Ask any questions/comments/etc!
So back to the Electoral College, they are voting in the house, current vote against the Electoral slate of Arizona is 62.
There are a couple things that can happen.

1)Remove their committee assignments
2)Censure
3)Removal

First one is likely to happen if they keep objecting. The other two are pretty unlikely
Correct, both Houses must agree to throw out an electoral slate. This is purely parliamentary.

We are hearing that there will be another objection later, but that Congressional leader say that they will absolutely finish this tonight.

One thing to note, that there are significant Republican leaders who are holding Trump accountable for the riots.

This will come into play if there is in fact a Trump removal planned tonight
Guess I need to tune into Foxnews...
lol, the crazies are, well, crazy.

I did not have this on my bingo card!

No, the military would laugh their ass of at him if he tried this.
I know this is silly, but I really don't want this tweet to be my most liked tweet ever. I spent 30 seconds on it! lol. Image
Okay, back to Congress, Pelosi announces that the motion has also been denied in the House. Pelosi sends the clerk to reconvene the joint session.
Uh oh, they found my pinned tweet! Image
Just decided to look at parler... ImageImageImageImage
I'm trying to look at what parler is saying about Trump, but their website has been sitting like this for 2 minutes!

I don't think they are having a good daay Image
So yeah, Parler is having a night! ImageImageImageImage
The Senate is taking it's sweet time walking from one side of the building to the other...
I am having a hard time finding a newspaper that isn't calling for Trumps immediate removal...
Lord have mercy on their souls

I said NEWSpaper, not FANTASYpaper
Alright, the party is about to start again!
Just finishing the Arizona vote up, now they continue with the counting if the votes.

It's going to be a long time to Pennsylvania...
Lol, oh MAGA...
So some Congressbitches objected to the electoral slate of Georgia, but they did not have a Senator sign it. Apparently the Senators backed out.

Interesting! This is good.
This is my understanding as well. I wonder if he has people in his ear right now.
Crazy Qanon congresswoman from GA objects to the counting of the votes from Michigan, she has no Senator to back her up.

#sitdown
Hawley did make his objections on PA known during the objection to AZ, so I'm slightly hopeful he won't object.

But I think he will

Congressmorons object to the Nevada slate, but don't have a Senator.

The Nevada Supreme Court dismantled the voter fraud line by line, they did an incredibly thorough job.
Get out of the way Oregon!
Congresslizards object to the Electors from Pennsylvania.

It is signed by a Senator.
And yeah, Hawley is the culprit.
UGH....

So CNN says this will be different because Hawley says he will cede his time. They have a MAX of two hours, but they don't have to take up all that time. So the House is what will take the time...

Hawley is a bitch for objecting and not even speaking.
That was really creepy, but Hawley won't speak apparently.

Yeah, literally 72 hours ago, these congressgoons voted to certify the very same election that they are trying to de-certify tonight.

Going to repost these videos of funny moments in EC history for those who haven't seen them and need a laugh right now!

No. By law the objections are allowed to be made. Each side has half the time allocated to it, so I doubt more than one or two Democrats will speak. How the House Minority leader divides the time up determines how long this will take.

"dumb theater"

Welcome to government! The only reason they are doing this is to get sound clips.

Tuned into the House, and the republican was ranting that "200k more people voted than were voters", which has been disproved time and time again.

Why have these people never heard of google?!
They wont impeach him foolishly, they will impeach him wisely.
Senate is already voting as expected, didn't see who spoke there.

I would love to know if they are going to talk about impeachment when the cameras are off...
Senate vote is in, they will inform the House of their vote, so I hope this pushes the House to vote.
CNN having a discussion about whether or not to show the killing of the woman in the Senate.
Now this is a good joke!
Oooookay...

Well, I fell asleep.

I never thought we would need to force a president to commit to a peaceful transfer of power

cnn.com/2021/01/07/pol…
You know what's really weird about that? She responded to me just the day before with a real pithy response!

And then lawyer Twitter completely obliterated her tweet. But yeah, I have no idea why she didn't remember that!

Busy day maybe?
I'll sum up my thoughts more, but this tweet is spot on.

The riots were nothing but an attempt to smooth the ego of a sore loser, no matter what the people on the ground thought it was about.

I never though that the threat of NOT getting shot could be so uncomforting...
The rats are fleeing the sinking ship.

________________________________

I want to wrap this thread up. I don't know where to begin, I don't know where to end.

I had no idea that I would still be updating it 24 hours after I started it.
I consider my Americanness to be secondary to everything else. My faith, my family, my political philosophy, my personhood, all define me more than where what country calls me it's citizen.
I learned yesterday that my American identity was still deeply rooted in my psyche. I felt like that it was MY Capitol they were attacking, MY representatives they were targeting, MY rights they were threatening.
January 6th 2021 will be emblazoned on my memory second only to 9/11.

In a few years, just like it always does, the memory will fade and the pain will dull.

We have forgotten the lessons of 9/11, but we 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 afford to forget the lesson that January 6, 2021 taught us.
January 6, 2021 taught us how fragile our democracy really is: we are only as strong as the people we elect.

It should not be that way
We need to strive for a government that empowers the people and restricts the politicians AND their cronies. .

In my opinion the only political party that is truly working to that end is the Libertarian Party.
- Ending Qualified Immunity and Civil Asset Forfeiture
- Ending the war on drugs
- Ending all wars
- Ending crony “capitalism”
- Reforming occupational licensing
- Reforming Immigration

There is only one party that is firmly in your corner on these issues, and it’s @LPNational
Regardless of what party you prefer, Jan 6th should show us that we 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 vote for the men and women who want to give the power over your life back to you.

You should not be beholden to your government, your government should be beholden to you.
I believe that the candidate always matters more than the party they belong to.

Make sure the candidates you vote for are willing to let you have the power when the next Jan 6th happens.

Okay, a few thoughts on Impeachment I want to get out there.

First and most important:

It's the right thing to do.

It's the only thing to do.

1/
But this will put the Senate in a tough position.

If they don't have 17 Republican Senators to convict, they risk empowering Trump just like they did when they failed the first time.

2/
I think this risk is worth taking, I want every one single Senator on the record about the President's actions.

But I am concerned. If it fails, it stokes the rumors about 2024, and could backfire politically.
