(33,643 posts)from the airport, I *MIGHT* believe that our side is actually willing to physically fight if it comes to it.
Right now is where we need to draw the line if I'm going to believe we're going to draw one at all.

(24,402 posts)but I'm not sure it's *illegal* to meet with the legislators. Crooked AF of course, though.

(62,406 posts)or words to that effect.
I am confused as to what the Michigan Republican legislators could do. Even if they could "decertify" then what? The popular vote was overwhelmingly for Biden in Michigan I believe. Don't electors by law have to vote the way the voters did?
Just seems like too many layers to get to what Trump wants. Then he would have to do it in another batch of states. By then I would think people would be in the streets and businesses shuttered.

(52,185 posts)Yeah, remember when politicians were supposed to be careful to avoid even the *appearance* of impropriety?
Now days the media doesn't care at all about that. But I'm sure they will very much come January 20....

(7,591 posts)Have to believe it. The one thing positive that Trump might have done is to make people aware of the VAST power of the POTUS. We all need to take our elections seriously. The Rethugs that continue to support this POS are not good people.

(2,248 posts)Every move these Michigan folks make in Washington should be covered to the max. Although, they're likely to fly private, get on a car on tarmac, and go right into the WH pen. When done, do the same thing in reverse and then hide out once back in Michigan.
