    1. @Joel Hummel : That’s where your wrong. Indeed, the constitution gives them full authority to do exactly that! Read up on it.

    2. @Joel Hummel : It was a senate hearing which is different than a judicial hearing. Try to be a little better informed before you post.

    3. @GT-37 Guy Yes there are lots of traitors in the government . Of course Biden can’t be one of them because TRUMP is still the leader of the swamp. It’s a shame your dear leader has never heard of the constitution.

    4. @Jacoba Smith blah blah blah….that is some pretty rank and boring crap propaganda there, better freshen up for tomorrows trolling

    1. F Yeah get those crooked insider trading dumpster fires out of there! Come through again Georgia and we’ll give you a fkn Holiday lol

    2. 🇺🇲😂🇺🇲😂🇺🇲😂🇺🇲😂🇺🇲😂🇺🇲😂
      I’M PROUDLY VOTING FOR BOTH PERDUE AND LEOFFLER!!!!

    1. Yep force their hand. People watch how your legislators vote. Then hold them accountable. Oh but wait, doesn’t matter how you vote anymore, won’t come out fair.

    1. You didn’t say that about Barbara boxer when she joined a congresswoman in 2005 to contest the Ohio votes for Bush

  1. Taking serious conspiracy and misinformation. If anything should be taken serious it’s the SEDITION so many are willing to engage in. Shameful GOP

    1. They ARE setting a precedent however, and we can use that next time a repug is elected- call it a FAKE, file lawsuits in court, put ads out how they STOLE the election and tampered with votes, they dont stop to think of how this will all backfire on them not that a precedent has been set!

    1. The MSM plays on the emotions of weak minded liberals and they never actually even identify provisions in the CONSTITUTION that makes it possible to challenge electoral votes.

    2. @Michael K Really? Since Bush was President from 2001-2009 and he got in because of the Supreme Court. Obama a democrat from 2009-2016 and Trump wasn’t contested in 2016 because Clinton conceded maybe you can tell me who all the democrats objected to.

  2. All the Republicans going to trying 2 get rid of the votes we as the American people need to get rid of these Republicans

    1. Right Pauly, Just get rid of the fraudulent votes. We should all want that. If there wasn’t any fraud why is it such a problem letting anyone review the process. If no fraud, then let’s move on. If you were one of the witnesses / poll watchers that signed affidavits stating they actually saw it, you would be singing a different tune.

    2. @Alan Olson Crazy Rudy already said it was not a fraud case. How many times do dumb republicans have to count to know that 2+2 = 4 Not 84. If Hillary had tried these moronic Republicans would scream so loud they would be heard o the moon!

  3. Might as well go through all of the hoops. More nails in the conspiracy coffin. More reasons to to fix flaws in the system that might be used by a competent autocrat in the future.

    1. This is the biggest contribution that Trump and company made, he took advantage of all possible flaws in the election system and the presidential pardon system. We know what to fix.

      Americans see more clearly who Trump is after the election than before the election.

      I can’t wait until Jan 20th.

  4. A Lawyer taking up this challenge is really the ‘cream de la cream’ of the fact that many republicans (who should be called monarchy-cal) are not in touch with reality!

  5. If you want to know the motivation behind what a politician does or says, follow the money, it’s always a new payday for everything they do.

  6. Look up the definition of sedition, and let’s see these people still trying to overthrow democracy actually charged.
