Our president has these powers?

...to authorize a lawyer that walks off the street to WH to run a coup?

Uprox:

According to Axios, while Powell, Flynn, and Byrne called Trump’s staff “quitters” and “disloyal,” senior advisers to the president like Eric Herschmann and White House staff secretary Derek Lyons were trying desperately to convince Trump not to give Powell top-secret security clearance and invoke National Emergency powers to overturn the election. At one point, things between Flynn and Herschmann got so tense that Herschann told the pardoned criminal, “Why the fuck do you keep standing up and screaming at me. If you want to come over here, come over here. If not, sit your ass down.”

Yes but his honor! And the cheating! These must be brougt up! Otherwise people, including Maggats, will eventually know he was this stupid.

But thanks, founding fathers, saved us! Without state rights and electors, Trump would have stolen the election.

McCarthy taught Roy Cohn, Cohn taught Trump.

Not only that, the system was the way Trump tried to overturn the election. Everything was targeting at replacing the Biden Electors with Trump electors in close state races using arcane laws passed after previous times the Electoral College screwed things up.

It would have been a whole lot harder to contest a national popular vote with a seven million vote margin of victory.

The schadenfreude is strong in me as I read this story... :levi:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-05/ ... l/13124300
A voting technology company is suing Fox News and three of its hosts, as well as two former lawyers for former president Donald Trump, claiming the defendants conspired to spread false claims that the company helped "steal" the 2020 US presidential election.

The $US2.7 billion ($3.55 billion) lawsuit filed in New York state court by Florida-based Smartmatic USA is one of the largest libel suits ever undertaken.

On January 25, a rival election-technology company — Dominion Voting Systems, which was also ensnared in Mr Trump's baseless effort to overturn the election — sued former Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell for $US1.3 billion ($1.71 billion).

Unlike Dominion, whose technology was used in 24 states, Smartmatic's participation in the 2020 election was restricted to Los Angeles County, which votes heavily Democratic.

Despite the company's limited role in the election, US cable news network Fox News aired at least 13 reports falsely stating or implying the company had stolen the 2020 vote in partnership with Venezuela's socialist Government, according to the complaint.
Sue them till they're broke! :Jack:

Popular vote! That's some communist idea. We only wanted wealthy landowners to vote, according to founding fathers.

Well, you know how Trump wanted to testify to Mueller's investigation and his lawyers talked him out of it? There's this little problem the man has, as Bob Woodward described:
But in the man and his presidency Dowd had seen the tragic flaw. In the political back-and-forth, the evasions, the denials, the tweeting, the obscuring, crying “Fake News,” the indignation, Trump had one overriding problem that Dowd knew but could not bring himself to say to the president: “You’re a fucking liar.”
They were sure he would lie under oath and get caught.
