Snap Shots of YOUR Republican Party, 21st Century Style

[donquixote99]

A base to gain or lose. Dynamics will have to change, demonstrably, in an election, before sensible Republican behavior has a chance again.

If proven so may he burn in hell.

Bend the Arc: Jewish Action @jewishaction

ALERT: Kelly Loeffler just posed for a photo with Chester Doles, a former KKK leader who runs the white supremacist American Patriots USA.

In 1993, Doles nearly beat a Black man to death.

In 2017, he marched in Charlottesville.

This is who @KLoeffler is proudly appealing to.

If she loses the election will she accept the results?

ACLU @ACLU

VICTORY: The Supreme Court just rejected Kansas’ attempt to overturn a major voting rights win.

In April, we defeated Kris Kobach’s law that illegally required voters to show documents proving their citizenship to register to vote.

Today, that win was upheld.

So much for the disgusting Kobach's despicable voter suppression attempt...

Michigan House punishes GOP Rep. Gary Eisen for hinting at Electoral College disruption

https://www.freep.com/story/news/pol...ew/6537175002/

House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, denounced threats made against Electoral College members in announcing the decision to pull Eisen from his committee assignments.

“We have been consistent in our position on issues of violence and intimidation in politics — it is never appropriate and never acceptable. That is true of threats or suggestions of violence against Gov. (Gretchen) Whitmer, Secretary (of State Jocelyn) Benson, Rep. (Cynthia) Johnson and others on the Oversight committee, Republicans, Democrats, and members of the Electoral College. That applies to threats made toward public officials, and it must also apply when the public officials open the door to violent behavior and refuse to condemn it. We must do better," Chatfield said in a statement Monday morning.

“We as elected officials must be clear that violence has no place in our democratic process. We must be held to a higher standard. Because of that, Rep. Eisen has been removed from his committee assignments for the rest of the term.”

BAM!

Michigan congressman quits GOP over Trump’s election fights
“I’ve had enough,” said Rep. Paul Mitchell, who is becoming an independent in the final weeks of his legislative career.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/1...itchell-445234

An honest (former) Repube. Not many of those left...

“It became clear to me I could no longer be associated with a Republican Party that the leadership does not stand up and say the process, the election is over. It’s over today,” Mitchell said. “This party has to stand up for democracy first, for our Constitution first and not political considerations. It’s not about a candidate. It’s not simply for raw political power and that’s what I feel is going on, and I’ve had enough.”

Portman Statement on the Electoral College Vote

https://www.portman.senate.gov/newsr...l-college-vote

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) released the following statement on the Electoral College vote:

“In accordance with the Constitution and federal law, the Electoral College cast their votes for President today. The Electors met in their respective state following certification of the results. I think we need to respect this process the Founding Fathers established, and we must respect the will of the voters. As I’ve said previously, the Trump campaign had every right to pursue recounts and legal challenges. That has now happened over the past six weeks, and although there were instances of fraud and irregularities, it has not been shown to be widespread enough to change the result of the election. States must take seriously the proven examples of fraud and irregularities, prosecute anyone who engaged in it, and review voting systems to maintain the integrity of our elections. The transition process and briefings for the Biden team began three weeks ago at the direction of President Trump, and I commend him for that. The orderly transfer of power is a hallmark of our democracy, and although I supported President Trump, the Electoral College vote today makes clear that Joe Biden is now President-Elect.”

Um, yeah, he's been President-Elect for over a month now...
