Thanks for the info, Republicans [View all]

.We Democrats are truly appreciative of the information contained in your recently-revealed texts with respect to how a vice president has the authority to simply throw out the electoral votes of states that vote against his/her preferred candidate.

No doubt our current VP, Kamala Harris, was overjoyed to hear this news!

Should things not go well for the Dems in the 2024 election, it's good to know that many of you are on-board with VP Harris simply tossing those pesky anti-Biden votes in the trash, and only counting the votes that were cast for him.

It's like hey, who knew this was possible - and that so many of you would go to the trouble of explaining how the illegality of such an action was actually legal!

Many thanks to those GOPers who have acknowledged the power (albeit unConstitutional) of a sitting vice president to overturn the will of the people a matter of his/her discretion.

We now have the evidence that you urged the late-and-not-great Trump administration to adopt this "interpretation" of prevailing law - so exactly what will your legal arguments be should a Democratic VPOTUS decide that you were right all along - and act accordingly?

Cat got your tongue? Or is your tongue so far up Trump's ass you have lost all ability to speak?
