    The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped form our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.

    You'll have to be more specific. The Michigan certification nonsense or the "making the election official" nonsense? Or a third unlisted brand of nonsense. There's a lot of it about. Narrow it down.

    Should be wrapped up tonight but it depends on just how much the Michigan GOP want to be prosecuted and lose their jobs.

    I would really like to see some legitimate legal proceedings threatened, here.

    These people threatening a dereliction of duty just to stroke Trump’s ego with no pushback but a sternly-waggled finger need to be given a reality check, enough to send a compelling message to any other spineless GOP certifiers in other states that think of delaying certification to actually do their friggin’ jobs.

    Apparently Van Langevelde said that the state board has a duty to certify the election results. So it seems less like a matter of "if" they certify and more a matter of "when" and what the margin is, whether it's 3-1 or 4-0.

    Well, here's a start:

    Michigan group sues Trump campaign citing disenfranchisement of Black voters

    A group of Michigan voters has sued Donald Trump and his reelection campaign, asserting the president's legal challenges to the 2020 election violated the rights of Black voters.

    In a lawsuit filed in D.C. federal court Friday, the group alleged the Trump campaign is attempting mass voter suppression — particularly among Black voters — by pressuring election officials into not certifying the election results in their state.

    I just tuned in briefly and it sounds like the Republican woman is trying to hold up the certification over just 800~ "ballotses." Then boomer technical difficulties kicked in and I decided to peace out.

    But....the instructions say you CAN turn it in in-person, you just have to show ID.

    So...what did he do that was illegal?

It’s not because it’s fun. God knows it’s not because it’s easy. It’s not even because it works because it hardly ever does.. I DO WHAT I DO BECAUSE IT’S RIGHT! Because it’s decent! And above all, it’s kind! It’s just that.. Just kind."

    Lol so the PA state supreme court just affirmed the trump team losses on all the outstanding stuff before them AND overturned one of the trump team wins in PA so now the trump legal team has only won 1 thing in court instead of 2.
