Trump's New Attorney Has '2023 Reinstatement Plan': Don't Laugh ... This One is Dangerous

Donald Trump’s attorney has a new “Trump reinstatement plan” for the year 2023. It has no chance of working. None. It could, however, kick off a wave of violence that will resemble a flash of hot war. It is very dangerous.

Unlike Mike Lindell’s ridiculous hidden vote theories and such, this plan is formal enough that if the GOP takes control of Congress in 2023, perhaps three state legislatures – emboldened by the SCOTUS saying that state legislatures are the final arbiter of everything with respect to elections (An absolutely horrific reading of the 12th amendment) may decertify their elections. If that happens – and we simply cannot say they’re above it – it will not result in Trump being president. It will result in vastly increased tension, especially if Trump is facing charges at that point.

It was all kicked off by a Wisconsin Supreme Court decision. This is Slate’s description of a case driven by a FAR right majority on the WI Supreme Court, and be scared at the overreach:

On Friday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s Republican majority outlawed ballot drop boxes by a 4–3 vote, abolishing a reform that had made voting easier and more accessible in the state. The lead opinion—authored by the notorious fringe-right reactionary Justice Rebecca Grassl Bradley—contains alarming language casting doubt on the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s 2020 victory. It also grants credence to the GOP’s collapsing “investigation” to prove that illegal votes put Biden over the top in Wisconsin. Without a shred of evidence, the court has thrown its weight behind a dangerous conspiracy theory that helped to fuel the Jan. 6 insurrection.


Given that the most “conspiracy theory MAGA” wrote the opinion, she added language to a statute and simply pronounced that the voter themselves had to deliver the ballot, making voting FAR more difficult. But the primary problem is noted above, it says that it casts doubts on Biden’s victory. Now, the conservative Wisconsin legislature can attempt to “decertify” its presidential electors well after the fact and point to the court. They might say they “have to.”

Their time machine is powered by 100% pure bovine excrement.

The whining sound you hear is their time machine engine warming up, although it does sound a lot like a 2-year old throwing a temper tantrum.
These folks are incredibly dense.
Biden is President, and will be until at least 1/20/25!

Get over it!

There are no provisions in the Constitution for de-certifying an election and removing a President. Are there? Would it carry any force of law?!

There is no mechanism by which to decertify or undo the Electoral College vote for a past presidential election.

Period.

Legally this has no chance.... It's the violence that will result because the extremists say it does.

No matter how many deluded Trumpsters wish this could be true, they cannot will it to happen, not even with all their guns.
