So heres the thing that most of these dipshits don’t understand. If the results of the electoral college vote are somehow rejected by the house and senate then we don’t just count the votes one side wants, instead we default to having the speaker of the house being promoted to acting president until everything gets sorted out. In other words not only is father not going to stay president in any constitutional way, but the Great Satan Nancy Pelosi will become president. Cruz and company both know this and know that they don’t have anywhere close to the support to toss out the electoral college results, but they know that the copium is needed to prevent a true rightoid chimpout that would happen if they just did their job.

I don't know where this idea came from but I don't think it's correct, except for the part about "we don't just count the votes one side wants." If Congress doesn’t confirm the Electoral College results, whether because electors are successfully challenged or because of procedural gimmicks, the presidency is decided in the House of Representatives with each state delegation getting one vote. The vice presidency is determined in the Senate.
I was wrong about acting president Pelosi but congress has a sort of nuclear option workaround to hold the confirmation of the college after only swearing in voters from democrat/republican states and then swearing in the rest after the vote. Democrats wouldn’t do it because they have no balls however.
Both of those times were just like what republicans are doing now, times where they didn’t have a chance in hell of getting enough support to do anything meaningful. Like both of those articles said its symbolic. I’m talking about them actually going through with it to the point where it actually matters.
I'm sorry, but when you said "democrats wouldn't do it," I thought you were referring to what republicans were doing, not the nuclear option to which you were referring. My bad.
U.S. Democratic lawmakers planned to challenge President-elect Donald Trump's Electoral College victory on Friday in a largely symbolic move that is unlikely to gain traction in the Republican-controlled U.S. Congress but exposes lingering dismay over a contentious election campaign.
As a similar scene played out on the House floor yesterday, critics dismissed it as another exercise in futility. With the House and Senate both firmly in Republican hands, and many Democrats leery of being seen as sore losers, President George W. Bush's second official certification as the nation's president was a foregone conclusion.
Your mind is severely broken if you think that these two, feeble and pathetically ineffectual examples are anywhere near close the 2-month long r-slurred spergout we are seeing rn. Hilldawg literally conceded the day after the election.

Wow, and you talk about copium. The last four years have been nothing but mongoloids screaming about Russia, two scoops, fish food, and I can't even remember what else. You've only had to live through two months, so far, just wait for the next 46 months. I assure you it won't get any better. I'm just hoping the right-wingers will sink to the same depths your team did so we can see what rioting and looting are supposed to look like. Your guys half-ass everything, but my guys really put effort into their shenanigans. Hopefully the mob that shows up in DC on January 6 burns the place to the ground and becomes a roving band of marauders a la Ghengis Khan.

Yes, she's just been the picture of a gracious loser, hasn't she? It's almost like she hasn't spent the last four years either subtly suggesting or outright stating that the last election was stolen from her if you just completely ignore everything she's said since she conceded, isn't it?
I thought it was like if there was an electoral tie and the house votes to determine the president and the senate votes to determine the vice president. It looks like there are a few acts and amendments though so I don't even know which would apply.
There is no rule saying the speaker of the house has to be a member of the house. Pelosi should nominate Hillary as speaker and acting president so she can be our first female president. Just take four years to figure this out and we can all move on.
In related news, Facebook deleted the 'Joe Biden Is NOT My President!' group with 1.7 million DDRDF members.
I'm sure that's what they wanted, deep down.
The atmosphere is shall we say.... heated over at the£d0na1d.win. And I'm not surprised: According to TFA, Reuters/Ipsos polling says 39% of the US believe the election is rigged. And Rasmussen has it down as 47% that fraud is likely.
Do they really believe that, or do they just know it's their team's answer and want to vote for their team? Like when you ask a bunch of liberals "are there 63 genders? y/n" on a survey.
I believe the gamut of say, the 47% result runs from "Potentially some fraud, but not enough to change the election even if there was", to full-on "Conspiracy of fraud in most states and Trump won by a landslide". Over on the win site, I think polarization is pushing towards the latter extreme, and yes I'm pretty sure they're confident. Unsure about Republicans in general.
If I was making the poll, I would have also added a few more options to allow for grey-shades.
Yeah, that's true, I guess if you asked me "Was there any fraud in the election?" I'd have to say "yes" because they convicted that one idiot casting his dead mum's ballot for Trump.
Is Ted Cruz the ultimate cuck? I mean, think about it logically. A man accuses his father of assassinating JFK and he continues to deepthroat his (sizable) cock. Is there anything more pathetic?

Oh, wouldn't they?
Are you sure?
They made a feeble attempt in 2000, but at least then they had the excuse of the Florida Man fucking up the election:

Maybe Cruz realized DDR was right about his ugly wife, so he figured he's probably right about the fraud election too.
4 Iowa_Hawkeye 2021-01-02
Yes. This:
Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!
I'll add imagine someone accusing your wife of cheating on you and then you spend 4 years simping for him so hard.
Sometimes I'll start to like Ted's twitter shitposting but then I remember how sad of an excuse of a man he is. There's no excuse.
