Before going deep into the motives surrounding this announcement from Senator Ted Cruz, let’s first just focus on the statement.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tx) now leads a group of republican senators in an effort to support the January 6th challenge to the electoral college certification in the senate. The senate republicans include: Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), John Kennedy (R-La.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), and Mike Braun (R-Ind.), as well as Sens.-elect Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.).
The group is proposing that “[c]ongress should immediately appoint an Electoral Commission, with full investigatory and fact-finding authority, to conduct an emergency 10-day audit of the election returns in the disputed states. Once completed, individual states would evaluate the Commission’s findings and could convene a special legislative session to certify a change in their vote, if needed.”
The group noted a similar commission – made of five representatives, five senators and five Supreme Court justices – reviewed allegations of fraud in the 1876 election.
The statement continues, “[a]ccordingly, we intend to vote on Jan. 6 to reject the electors from disputed states as not ‘regularly given’ and ‘lawfully certified’ (the statutory requisite), unless and until that emergency 10-day audit is completed.” (full statement)
The approach is in general alignment with a request to congress made by President Donald Trump and weakly, politically, initiated by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. However, it is worth noting the change in position amid the GOP(e) only comes after Senator Josh Hawley formerly announced he would challenge the certification; and, as a consequence, there is going to be a recorded roll-call vote in the Senate.
Let us not be obtuse in our honest discussion of what the actual background of these participants -and their connection to the developments- actually means.
As a result of Senator Hawley the republican senate is in an uncomfortable position. None of the aforementioned senators would participate in an electoral challenge without the authorization of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the ultimate DeceptiCon.
McConnell knows that Hawley’s action is going to initiate a roll-call vote. In order for McConnell to survive the backlash of We The People showing up en masse at the same time as the Senate certification is taking place, Mitch is positioning his upper chamber to give the impression of support. The action by Ted Cruz et al is politically motivated; consider it bandwaggoning as an outcome of what Hawley is forcing upon the chamber.
If Hawley never announced his intent, this effort by Ted Cruz et al would never have been initiated. However, that said, once you accept the politics and motives involved – it becomes possible to use the DeceptiCon weakness, strategically, against them.
The upper-chamber wants to give the illusion of support to the massive MAGA audience. This means We The People who support President Donald J Trump can now define the rules of that support…. this is the power we rarely exhibit because we -mistakenly- accept their false-face and give them benefit-of-doubt. Do not do this again, not now.
Accept the GOPe are doing an exercise in-name-only and push them into proving they are genuine in their demands. Send emails, call your senators, and give support to those who are positioned to raise objection, while demanding the constitutional fulfillment of those expectations (promises) regardless of support from the Democrat wing of the UniParty bird. DO NOT let them deflect inaction to parliamentary processes.
♦Second, call and email the Senators who are not listed in the Cruz contingent, but would normally say they support President Trump. Where is Tim Scott, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, Chuck Grassley, Thom Tillis etc. Why are they not supporting the effort? These are the direct questions and demands that must be made.
♦Third, we already know the Mitch McConnell, John Barrasso, Jodi Earnest and John Thune leadership group will not publicly support this effort…. However, the remaining DeceptiCons must be forced on the record. Where is Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Lisa Murkowski, John Cornyn, etc etc.? Force Mitch McConnell’s DeceptiCon coalition to take a position; DEMAND IT.
♦Fourth, GEORGIA MAGA VOTERS need to get out and support the republican special election. I know it sucks to vote for the lesser of two-evils, but right now strategy demands we align all effort in the best possible way for success. WE NEED the victory on January 5th in order to fuel momentum for the electoral challenge on January 6th.
We accept the spineless nature of the GOPe senate. If you think they are spineless now, think about how feeble their effort will be on January 6th if they know in advance they will be in the minority.
Think strategically. Leader McConnell would not be adverse to a minority position, do not give it to him (them). Force them to take action by forcing them to actually deliver on what ‘they claim’ publicly to want….
…Use the public face of the republican apparatus, despite it being false, against them, to achieve a strategic objective….
…Read that again slowly if needed.
Learn from the mistakes of the past….
Take your @SenTedCruz apologist, Heritage Foundation bullsh!t the hell out of my timeline and go sell your DeceptiCon crazy somewhere else now. We're full-up with a decade plus of evidence. It's 2021, WE The People are immune to that CPAC battered conservative nonsense. https://t.co/M6tXrIh9MI

I sure hope that General Flynn is overseeing this team! Let them all walk into the well of the Senate on January 6th and announce that THEY will be handling it from here on out! The families of everyone who died in Benghazi have been waiting FAR too long for the truth about their loved ones to be revealed and for those responsible for their deaths to be held accountable!
McConnell has already issued a statement on the floor as to “the electoral college has spoken” or some other line of B.S. This is all just to appear fair and all those kind of swampy things.Too bad he’s got another 6 years of stuffing his and his cronies pockets full of our money. He’s been fully outed as a globalist commie rat bastard.
“Trillions Served”.
“the electoral college has spoken”
So has the Chinese Politburo. And they’re saying the same thing.
The Election Commission Could itself be just another Deep State Set Up. How Many COUPs were attempt by Government Officials: FBI, his own AG, CIA, and mame right down to the Vindman brothers. And besides if you take a look at the evidence so far via Guiliani hearing, crooks caught on video triple feeding count machines, tapping right into voting machines on wifi. I mean give all that it seems down right strange that would want a Commission to decide anything, untel it’s just another COUP plot.
Not this time Robery, the whole world is watching this fiasco, and I mean the whole world.
No disrespect intended to my American friends, but a fair number have never left the U.S. and maybe do not fully appreciate how America is viewed from afar.
PDJT has massive support worldwide..
I wholeheartedly,100% agree with Dekester above.A great % of American patriot’s don’t seem to know just how much support they have outside thier own shore’s, the fake news has not being letting the outside support known to the ‘ front line’ American’s inside.Believe me the oversea’s support is outstanding.All the best from patriot’s worldwide.
The freeman,casting with unpurchased hand
The vote the vote that shakes the turrets of the land.
Sorry 1 vote.
I don’t see Lindsey Graham’s name on the list. Didn’t he play golf with Trump over the holidays?
Lindsey wanted that last loop in
“…Use the public face of the republican apparatus, despite it being false, against them, to achieve a strategic objective….
…Read that again slowly if needed.”
This is not about the Senate protecting voters from fraud, but about protecting Senate frauds from voters.
But we can use it for truth, praise God.
…Use the public face of the republican apparatus, despite “it being false, against them, to achieve a strategic objective…”
YESSS! Absolutely,
for
the
Victory!
I don’t see Lindsey Graham’s name on the list. Didn’t he play golf with Trump over the Christmas holidays?
Will this proposal by Senator Cruz of a ten day pause to review fraud, then remove the Constitutional power delegated to the state legislators of contested states to recall their electors? These state legislators do not need governor to call special sessions, and 5 of the contested states have majority Republican state legislators. Rudy has been trying to convince them to exercise their federally granted right to call special sessions.
State legislatures already have the authority to convene a special legislative session without a Ted Cruz dog and pony show commission. Nor do they need permission from their Governor.
Mao Mitch is behind this strategy to pacify the base and kick the can down the road with the purpose of running out the clock on stopping the steal.
Trust Cruz and McConnell at your peril.
China Mitch will never be trusted.
A Letter to my Senator
Sir:
I sent email to the Whitehouse last night with a proposal
to redress the election theft confronting the nation. It
would be better for all if a real solution comes from
Congress than from the Executive.
The bad news: the proposal of the challenging group is
inadequate to address the core issue, which is endemic
corruption in all three branches of government, at levels
from Federal to Municipal, rising to steal their franchise
from the citizens. People have no confidence in any of
the branches or functions of government, with good
reason. No one would credit a negotiated decision of
15 insiders.
The good news: there is a solution. The election and its
designated power are not stolen from President Trump
or from a political party, but from the citizens; redress
must return to the people the choice denied them in
those states where election fraud causes the challenges.
Three points:
1. an election re-run or run-off can be rationally limited
to the 7 states where the elections are challenged.
2. ballots can be the ultimate in simplicity: Trump+
versus Biden+; any legitimate voter can present a paper
notice of his vote. Those ballots can be tallied and kept.
The people could do it before Inauguration Day.
3. since the vote will be solely for a Federal election,
uniform standards could apply; citizen agents, outside
mistrusted local functionaries could be partners at every
level; any fraud in such an election directly would be a
Federal issue.
Returning Presidential Election to the constitutional standard would be an essential first step in restoring credibility to the Federal government.
Wait until the last minute to minimize effect and then the rat Pence hides behind their shenanigans. Pence needs to reject the fraudulent Biden electors and accept the rightfully elected Trump electors.This decepticon bs is all intended to mollify US while they stab US in the back. How many times has this happened? Way past time to fight them. .
What time do you think that the voting machines will be stopped for the Georgia special election?
Spot on analysis. I saw through the announcement when I first read. There is no need for a bipartisan commission to spend ten days investigating when there is already plentiful evidence to clearly establish the fraud. Pence only needs to not accept or count electoral votes from contested states on the grounds there not constitutionally determined. Then the House can vote for/select the President and the Senate can choose the Vice President.
Wouldn’t that mean that Biden would be president after a vote by a majority democrat house?
Does Anyone actually believe that any democrat would vote Against Biden?
