I hope that these events continue and become a subculture that is hermetically sealed from actual influence.

The early part of the 20th century saw an increase in intelligence of public discussion and reduction in hysteria.

Maybe we can go back to there.

Those you'alls taking to the streets in bug numbers is a good thing for that country. Trump is finished and their anger will need to be redirected to the real problem they have.

The help they need isn't going to come from Biden, that's for sure. Get yourselves  in the loop if you have any interest in what's happening in the land of the gun by listening to Chris Hedges or Chomsky. It's not that complicated at all!

desperate measures... for desperate times! Trumpalos 'ace-in-the-hole' fizzles out...

GOP leaders in 4 states quash dubious Trump bid on electors

Quote
Republican leaders in four critical states won by President-elect Joe Biden say they won’t participate in a legally dubious scheme to flip their state’s electors to vote for President Donald Trump. Their comments effectively shut down a half-baked plot some Republicans floated as a last chance to keep Trump in the White House.

State GOP lawmakers in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have all said they would not intervene in the selection of electors, who ultimately cast the votes that secure a candidate’s victory. Such a move would violate state law and a vote of the people, several noted.
.
The idea loosely involves GOP-controlled legislatures dismissing Biden’s popular vote wins in their states and opting to select Trump electors. While the endgame was unclear, it appeared to hinge on the expectation that a conservative-leaning Supreme Court would settle any dispute over the move.

Still, it has been promoted by Trump allies, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and is an example of misleading information and false claims fueling skepticism among Trump supporters about the integrity of the vote.

The theory is rooted in the fact that the U.S. Constitution grants state legislatures the power to decide how electors are chosen. Each state already has passed laws that delegate this power to voters and appoint electors for whichever candidate wins the state on Election Day. The only opportunity for a state legislature to then get involved with electors is a provision in federal law allowing it if the actual election “fails.”

'peak crowd' - per numerous reporting outlets/articles, U.S. Parks Service estimated the size as between 11 & 12,000 MAGAites!

Curious banner there! Weirdly reminiscent of Nazi banners. The colour tone, the flag, and the portrait!
We shouldn't lose faith in Americans being able to turn this thing into a 'watering of the tree of liberty'.

I got a kick out of after hearing Mike Pompeo's nonsenswe about a "smooth transition to a second Trump term" he is now off to France to meet with Macron who recently said that "electing Joe Biden will help make the planet great again". and of course Macron is among other world leaders who were caught on camera ridiculing/laughing at Trump idiocy. Should be an interesting visit.

Actually Pompeo is off to Israel. Maybe France and some other stops are for appearance sake only.
And that's not to suggest the possibility of a false flag attack on Israel, US assets in Iraq, Syria, by Iran.
Not a good time for the US to wag the dog? Right?

Right??

Pompeo meets Macron tomorrow, soon after Macron's comments supporting President elect Biden, even going as far as to mock Trump's MAGA thing. I guess you missed the point.

I didn't miss any point. Did you miss the fact that Pompeo is going to Israel and other countries?

You really are the lameass if you think that Pompeo is going to see Macron about some remarks he made about Biden. You don't have to admit it though; just let it go for now.

Or better still, why not try to offer a good explanation for why Pompeo is acting as Biden's ambassador?

Ah, if Pompeo is acting as anybody's ambassador it ain't for Biden. Perhaps you also missed his comment about a smooth transition to a second term with Trump. Try to keep up OK?  And of course he won't bring up Macron's comments. But I bet the press will continue to have fun with it all.
