24. You call them seditious

yet you tolerate this very clear action against the Constitution. Without a shred of evidence, they petition the SC to overthrow the election. That's against the Constitution and the country. It's rooted in a wannabe dictator who would be glad to shred the Constitution to keep power.

It's very much like a cyber strike where because it happens in cyberspace, it is not war. A very subtle difference. I recall when Obama told Putin to his FACE that if he continued to muck about, it would be considered war. Well, that is what Trump and his buddies are doing. It is unfortunate that I cannot use the word TREASON for what they have done.

It is outrageous that they did this. It takes us to the brink of Civil War, which is what Trump wants. Did you or did you not hear that asshole call for secession, and I believe that another one wrote up a bill for the same?

So, I guess we can chalk this up to business as usual. January 20th can't get here fast enough. Meanwhile, let's see what else the treacherous GOP can come up with that we will hold them harmless for.
