CNN: after meeting with trump, Michigan lawmakers...

[sheshe2]

Warn certification should be a “process free from threats and intimidation”

Well hot damn and a huge hallelujah to the Michigan law makers. They are GOP but they did good this time anyway.

They are standing by their states results! Repeat, they are standing by their states results. Biden wins.

1. And those involved in it should act in a manner that avoids even the appearance of impropriety

On that front they failed. Big time.

[sheshe2]

2. ????

I am confused here...they just told him to go EFF himself. That is a fail?

Okay.

[Ms. Toad]

14. The fail is going to see him when he/his campaign is making loud public noises

about getting the BOE/legislators to overrule the public vote.

Going to see him, at this moment in time, is even worse than Republicans who are failing to condemn Trump's actions - since they actively contributed to the perception that such behavior is normal.

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. I agree

They should have refused to be part of the fiasco. Instead they accepted his invitation.

[gollygee]

11. They said they went to lobby for COVID relief

It's possible they saw an in to go after that even though they knew he wanted something else.

[Windy City Charlie]

15. Maybe

Maybe they realize how improper it would look if they met with Trump for what was really going on.....and the COVID relief part is a fake alibi. Would love to see a transcript of this meeting.

[Ms. Toad]

16. It doesn't matter. The very public spin was that Trump was going to win

by overturning the will of the people through legislators and BOE certification. He directly contacts two members of the BOE to attempt to withdraw their votes to certify - and they write letters doing so which were, fortunately, rejected. When that apparently failed, he invites Republican leaders of the legislature (the next step in the certification process) to see him.

That stinks to high heaven, no matter how much perfume (or lipstick) you put on it.

3. I'll hear what they say...

and wait, to watch what they do.

4. +++

[50 Shades Of Blue]

5. They mean THEY should be free from "threats and intimidation" from a Democratic governor

when they try to help Trump screw over voters.

[BGBD]

6. Is that what they mean?

Or are they just doing a real life retweet of Trump saying the Wayne County board Republicans were threatened?

It doesn't really matter. MI GOP legislature doesn't have a role in this process.

[KatyMan]

7. I think some Republicans are thinking beyond right now

And if they support Trump now and it all fails, in 2 years when elections come around again this will be around their neck. Not to mention that if Trump should die (not wishing death, just saying, he is of a certain age and in obviously poor health) his whole "movement" withers and they with it.
In no way do I believe they're doing it because they believe in America or democracy. It's CYA.

[LSFL]

10. Anytime you need me to send him death vibes KatyMan

I will do it for you anonymously. We have lost so many from his actions and inaction. Death is too good for him, but it would be a start at healing our nation and families .

I respect your decency.

[KatyMan]

17. Well, Agent Mike and all :)

I want him to live long and lose everything, and not know a moment's peace for the rest of his nasty life. His older kids too.

Have a great weekend LSFL!

[LSFL]

19. You too!

[texasfiddler]

8. Maybe it is the email I sent them last night.

[mcar]

9. IMPOTUS fails again!

So much losing.

[Nevilledog]

12. There were too many weasel words in their statement.

I'll believe when I see it.

[Pathwalker]

20. "Yet". It is best to NOT trust these weaslels. one of whom

is my state senator. "Watch what they DO, not what they say."

[central scrutinizer]

13. Who paid for this junket?

Why did they have to travel to DC?
