Right-wing media and Trump supporters encourage secession, martial law after Supreme Court defeat
WRITTEN BY ZACHARY PLEAT

MEDIA MATTERS, PUBLISHED 12/13/20 1:53 PM EST
After the Supreme Court on Friday declined to hear a lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to overturn the election, many far-right pro-Trump media figures, social media personalities, Republican Party officials, and former congressional candidates expressed support for secession from the United States or the use of the military to overturn the election which President Donald Trump lost.
The lawsuit sought, in a “seditious abuse of judicial process,” to invalidate the election results from several swing states that contributed to President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. This extreme attempt to overthrow our democracy garnered mainstream Republican support, with 17 GOP state attorneys general and more than half of House Republicans signing on in support of it.
The Supreme Court’s rejection of the lawsuit did not end Trump supporters’ calls to overturn the election results. While treason talk -- fueled by Rush Limbaugh -- had already begun in the right-wing circles before the Supreme Court announced its decision, it really took off afterward.
Texas GOP Chairman Allen West, a former member of Congress and a former Fox News contributor, helped lead the way with a call for secession, writing in a press release: “Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution.”

These turds wanted to overthrow the Constitution and re-install Stupid Agolf President.
Going by how they have allowed 300,000 Americans to die from Coronavirus, it’s a good bet they wouldn’t have minded creaming out their political opposition to make it stick.
This is NOT the time for Mr. Nice Guy.
Try 'em and fry 'em for their failed Gulag America putsch.

Out of hospital, Rudy Giuliani reveals he received COVID-19 drug unavailable to most Americans

NEW YORK — After being discharged from a premier hospital on Thursday, Rudy Giuliani revealed his treatment for COVID-19 included an experimental drug that is in such short supply that some states have set up lotteries to determine which patients should be lucky enough to receive a dose.
Giuliani, 76, confirmed in a text message to the New York Daily News that he received Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody cocktail during his five-day stay at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., after testing positive for the virus on Sunday.
In a tweet earlier Thursday, the former New York mayor-turned-personal Trump attorney said he was also fortunate enough to receive treatment advice from White House Dr. Sean Conley.
“I walked in with serious symptoms. I walked out better than ever,” Giuliani posted, calling the hospital care “miraculous.”

What’s worse: Rudy and the moronic traitor he works with continue to encourage Americans to engage in behavior that has led to uncounted hospitalizations and deaths from COVID.

Arizona GOP asks followers if they're willing to die in effort to overturn election results
Maria Polletta and Andrew Oxford
Arizona Republic, Dec. 8, 2020
The Arizona Republican Party has asked its followers if they are willing to die for the cause of overturning the presidential election results, eliciting alarm and criticism in response.
The party's official Twitter account on Monday night shared a post from Ali Alexander, an activist with an organization called "Stop the Steal" that has protested election results.
"I am willing to give my life for this fight," Alexander wrote. When sharing the post, the GOP asked followers: "He is. Are you?"
The GOP then posted a clip from the movie "Rambo", highlighting the quote: “This is what we do, who we are. Live for nothing, or die for something.”
Many people saw the social media post as the latest escalation in violent rhetoric this campaign season as election officials face threats from the president’s supporters following his defeat in the state and as he continues to push unsuccessfully to overturn the results of the race.

Joe Simonton said they tasted like cardboard.
It was late morning on April 18, 1961, when a humble plumber in Eagle River, Wis., received a most unusual gift: a plate of bubbly textured, wafer-thin pancakes, served up by a kindly creature of the extraterrestrial kind. Or so he claimed...

It's called treason.
He is not doing what a President is supposed to do:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
He is breaking that oath, which is not just dereliction of duty and criminal incompetence, he betrays the Constitution willfully. That is treason.

One thing I won't pardon him on.
His criminal negligence and gross dereliction of duty that contributed to the deaths of nearly 300,000 of my fellow Americans due to COVID-19.
It’s not just the golf distracting his very good brain.
It’s knowing the virus was airborne, he stayed silent.
Then that no-good SOB held rallies and myriad super spreaders.
He was murderous.
