Republicans had total legislative control in 5 of the 6 states that Biden won by fraud. The CCP/Democrats still had effective control.
And don’t look now, but congressional redistricting is coming right up. California loses a seat, NY two. Just in time for the midterms.
They don’t like it pelousy? The they are the citizens who vote. If they don’t like it too f in bad for you and your loons. Article V annoy get here soon enough for me. This ain’t working.
Forgotten you? Give it six months, you’ll wish they had.
and President Trump won a second term...in a landslide.
The Washington Pist don't like us but me thinks they project way too much!
Unity is democrats calling for the removal of 150 Congressional Republicans who dared challenge the election results when many cases of fraud were attested to by people who were there?
Yah...nah.
Do we have control of enough to call a convention of the states?
