All laughing aside, this pathetic woman should be disbarred, along w Rudy & all the Con's toadies engaging in his criminal election tampering, subversion and rigging. They've made the US the laughing stock of the world.

7. Didn't she present numbers from minnesota as numbers from michigan?

Also in her conspiracy she says she has a math guy who can explain, explain her complaint to the court - that she doesn't understand all the math/stats that is her solid proof. . she's going on faith. Trump hucksters must love her.

11. This is what happens when you don't nip the crazies in the bud.

As long as no one corrects them, legally, they can continue to say bullshit that incites unrest.

[underpants]

13. Hey Sidney!

[smirkymonkey]

15. This woman is bat-shit crazy.

I don't even know why anyone is giving her air time.

16. I have a rule against complaining about sources. So I won't complain, but...

you might want to look at this:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/state-of-the-union-2012/

Anybody can buy a domain and start publishing stuff. That's what's happening here.

Oh, and Rawstory. That's a crappy site that should never be used as a source either, especially in LBN. Them, I'll complain about.

[My Pet Orangutan]

17. Thank you. I didn't know anything about them .

I'll get a better source.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

19. That shouldn't be too hard. There's probably a video clip at

18. too fucking bad that aint up for discussion and why we have elections.

[RealityCheque]

20. Why is she not quarantined?

She was standing behind Rudy in a recent press conference and even shook his hand.

[Chainfire]

21. That is just crazy.

There is no other way to describe it. We are getting a clear view of the enemies of Democracy.

[Luz]

23. Did she graduate from the Orly Tate school of law? ?😂

[Hugin]

29. Oily Taters!

Dang, she's got to be involved in this somewhere. The original election grifter.

24. Trump's Karen collective seems to be a large group of women suffering from

some form of weird mass psychosis, triggered by overwhelming fear based hatred of anyone and everyone who is not a heterosexual, non-"Christian" white person.

I wonder if anyone has made a comprehensive collection of the many videos showing enraged Karen's, such as Powell, going all psycho. Most of the videos that I have seen are of unfortunate Karen's either angrily accosting an innocent person of color, or going off the rails because they were asked to wear PPE in public settings in order to prevent transmission of Covid.

This definitely a Trump era phenomenon. I wonder if someday soon there will be a DSM V classification for a mental illness that will be labeled "Karen Syndrome".

25. Well, if you say so sydney. Who the hell are these people?

[oasis]

26. Spoken with a straight face.

[tanyev]

27. Honestly, why are Democrats even allowed to run for office?

[Dem2]

28. She seems deranged

Back in the old days, we'd say she belongs in an institution.

31. These are words of an attempted coup

We are fortunate in that trump is an idiot and is too stupid to pull this coup off. However we still need to pay attention https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/these-are-words-actions-attempted-coup-n1248421

But we're well past that point now. Trump and his team don't want to count ballots; they want election results in some states to be invalidated. A member of the president's legal team was explicit on this point yesterday on Fox Business, arguing, "The entire election, frankly, in all the swing states should be overturned and the legislatures should make sure that the electors are selected for Trump."

With this in mind, the president is still scheduled to meet this afternoon with GOP leaders from the Michigan legislature, who were yesterday summoned to the White House for unsubtle reasons.

Reuters reported that Trump's strategy for "retaining power despite losing the U.S. election is focused increasingly on persuading Republican legislators to intervene on his behalf in battleground states Democrat Joe Biden won." The Post's report added the president's hopes that Republicans in some states will simply "flip" results in his favor, voters' will be damned.

"These are the words and actions of an attempted coup, according to historians and other experts," the article said.

It matters, of course, that Trump will almost certainly fail. But the fact that he's making such an attempt is itself a scandal of historic proportions, and he's creating new norms, standards, and strategies that will outlive what remains of his failed term.

trump will try to get these states to select electors spporting him or to delay the certification of vote to keep electors from being appointed. We are lucky that trump is an idiot and these efforts should fail. Rachel was correct to call our attention to trump's efforts and statements
