What a dumb article, who came up with the angle on this piece of shit?
“She said it doesn’t matter if he’s an insurrectionist or not! That means she knows he’s guilty!” is some literal schoolyard logic.
What we should be more concerned with is:
Right. Also, what is meant by “entire nation…should be up to the people”?
If we are jumping to conclusions, this might as well mean getting rid of the electoral college and the unequal representation it enables via gerrymandering. Considering republicans haven’t won the popular vote in something like 30 years, I’m for it. Let the people decide…all of them.
Funny how now it's the "entire nation" that elects the president and not the electoral college.
“The president is elected by the entire nation, and it should be the entire nation who determines who they want for president..."
Hmm yes please, lets abolish the electoral college so that presidents are in fact decided by the entire nation collectively and equally!
Never thought i would agree with a Trump lawyer...
“The president is elected by the entire nation, and it should be the entire nation who determines who they want for president, whether they are guilty of insurrection or not,” Bobb said during an interview on Real America’s Voice. “It’s up to the people.”
When was the last time a Republican won the popular vote?
2004, Bush's second term. Which, electorally speaking, wasn't that long ago.
Of course the 2016 and 2000 elections both saw Republican candidates win the presidency, but not the popular vote.
The 2000 election is also special since it came down to a judicial decision and was a 0.5% difference.
The 2016 election however is more clear, since it was a 2% difference.
Also keep in mind this had never happened before. So 2000 was when we should have started to take action, but since every election after (until 2016) it went back to normal, it made 2000 look like an outlier.
Which is all a long was of saying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact is probably the answer here.
2000 was a coup.
It's telling that no member of the Supreme Court was willing to put their name on that decision.
W in 2004.
It warms my soul to see Trump using the least qualified lawyers.
Again, they are no longer arguing that he didn't do it. They are arguing that he should face any ramifications for it.
Hey look, it’s narcissism:
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
So... No president unless everyone agrees? That's gonna be tough with freedom of speech.
You heard it folks NO MORE PRESIDENTS NO MORE PRESIDENTS NO MORE PRESIDENTS 🎊🎉✨️🎉🎊💜🦀
Did you just admit you're guilty of insurrection?
