Pence Admits He Doesn’t Have Power to Reject Electoral Votes

Politics • Views: 16,090

In his rambling, disconnected tirade this morning, Donald Trump repeatedly threw Mike Pence to the wolves, claiming Pence had the power to undo the election and saying he’d be “very unhappy” if Pence didn’t come through for him.

But… Pence Says He Doesn’t Have Power To Reject Electoral Votes.

In a letter to Congress released as President Trump urged him in a speech to take steps to overturn the election, Pence said:

“It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not.”

Mike Pence is now the fall guy.

GOP farce inside. GOP enabled coup outside as thugs storm the Capitol building and are barely able to be held back from entering the Capitol building.

These are seditious fuckers who are backing a coup attempt. Their use of force is therefore in furtherance of sedition (sergey, this is force contemplated as part of sedition charge, is it not). This isn’t mere trespassing. These guys are there to overthrow the transition and keep Trump in power (none of that is possible, but these people don’t care).

Actually, I’m gonna kinda disagree with you on that one, boss. While we all know Trump rallies have a history of violence, it’s never been a history of MASS violence. Maybe some counter-protester runs over BLM protesters with a car. A car. One. Singular. As far as destruction and violence en masse are concerned, even the so-called “riots” during the George Floyd protests were individual acts of violence committed piecemeal at various times and places. This is really the first I’m hearing, besides the whole Michigan thing, of an event with a seriously coordinated attempt at violence - and especially so against police themselves. They may very well have been counting on the Trump-humpers’ propensity to respect police and their heretofore lack of coordinated action.

LOL they got hacked. Excellent. I haven’t even looked at that shitty website in years.

I was still relatively new here when I first heard about Diary of Dadel-ass. Some regulars filled me in on the sad details.

Out of morbid curiosity, I checked it out and was surprised to see the conversation I had just had here posted as an entry. The person/people running the site were basically hoping since I was now aware of them, I’d read their crap and suddenly see the light about how Charles was worse than Ghengis Khan, Hitler, Darth Vader, Urkel, etc.

The whole thing was really off-putting and creepy. I still can’t wrap my head around the concept of dedicating years of your life, seven days a week, railing against a blog that you banned you and targeting its owner. It’s a special brand of sad and pathetic that only the internet can create and foster.

Genuinely hope that if the blog is indeed hacked/down, these people will direct their effort somewhere else. The amount of energy they put into running the site all these years could have been so much better served doing charity work somewhere, like a pet shelter or a soup kitchen.

I consider it failing optics because:
1) To the sane it’s pathetic theatre and hypocrisy.

2) To the insane they are *failing* to actually overturn the election results. “I tried” won’t play that well, especially if a nut challenges them in a primary and paints them as tools of the party that failed Trump and tossed him under the bus when Trump needed them most.

Actually, I’m gonna kinda disagree with you on that one, boss. While we all know Trump rallies have a history of violence, it’s never been a history of MASS violence. Maybe some counter-protester runs over BLM protesters with a car. A car. One. Singular. As far as destruction and violence en masse are concerned, even the so-called “riots” during the George Floyd protests were individual acts of violence committed piecemeal at various times and places. This is really the first I’m hearing, besides the whole Michigan thing, of an event with a seriously coordinated attempt at violence - and especially so against police themselves. They may very well have been counting on the Trump-humpers’ propensity to respect police and their heretofore lack of coordinated action.

But they have been openly threatening violence today for awhile. And the Proud Boys rioted at the last demonstration.

“Trump supporters.” “Demonstrators.” If their skin color were darker, they’d be dubbed “terrorists” without the least bit of discussion from the “liberal media.”

re: #219 thedopefishlives

“Naysayers” refers to people who didn’t want to call, e.g. objecting to electoral votes, “sedition”. So, you and I would be technical “naysayers”, though nobody is a naysayer in name or in practice now.

Which would make the matters more confusing, since obviously objecting to EVs won’t constitute sedition, so bringing up other actions, such as these ones by the rioters, won’t prove the “naysayers” wrong.

So basically Congress is in recess until order can be restored, but to restore order would mean the Capital Police doing more than just standing there as white people scream in their faces. What should have been a matter of routine has become a sign to all the world that the American democratic system has become as unstable as all those banana republics we once mocked and laughed at.

Again, I’m still maintaining that I don’t think we could have foreseen this level of mass violence. They haven’t done anything THIS violent before. Could we have anticipated it, maybe. Could we have prepared for it, certainly. But I also don’t entirely fault them.

re: #184 Targetpractice

Today we became a failed nation. The shining city on a hill reduced to cinders in a naked bid to retain power and install an autocratic regime.

Just stop. This is a riot. It got this far because the Capitol Police failed to repulse the rioters with sufficient force. It will be put down messily, but it will be put down.

It might be slow, but the EC votes will be counted and the election certified in a day or so.

And Biden/Harris will be inaugurated on the 20th.

(I was here for the 60’s, this is not new.)

Florida Panhandler  Jan 6, 2021 • 11:52:23am

I think what we are going to find out in the next couple of days is that the personnel necessary to combat an armed invasion of Congress and sedition against the United states were told to stand off by high up Trump sycophants in the police and proper security forces.

This is going to amount to a planned operation to stage a coup.

Romantic Heretic  Jan 6, 2021 • 11:53:16am

re: #269 thedopefishlives

I’m afraid I do.

As Henry Kissinger noted in his doctoral thesis, “But it is the essence of a revolutionary power that it possesses the courage of its convictions, that it is willing, indeed eager. to push its principles to their ultimate conclusion.”

It’s been obvious to me that since the Tea Party that the authoritarians and barbarians masquerading as conservatives are a revolutionary group. They do not accept the rules and norms of the existing system. They intend to destroy and replace them, as the Bolsheviks and Jacobins did.

Given this, not preparing for it is idiocy.

And here we are.
