I think they are just that arrogant. They think they have the presidency bagged. My concern, as many including Jay have mentioned, is WHY do they think that. What plan is going to hand them the presidency? Votes do not seem to matter.

Ditto. What plan do they have - and were I a conspiracy theorist (please don't let me be!), I'd suggest SCOTUS is in cahoots.

Watch Rachel (link below) on the twenty states with Trumpists in charge who wonтАЩt certify the election results, should they favor Harris:

It's give me hope that most of the swing states have democrats for a governor. That will go a long way to making sure results are certified.

Thank you. ThatтАЩs very reassuring.

Thanks. I had seen this and read more about who won't. THAT must be dealt with and that's where I esp. fear SCOTUS.

Same here. Btw, I saw her say this because someone here had linked it here. I was only an occasional viewer but am now watching her every show.

It's all deja vu all over again, isn't it? We started watching MSNBC when Keith Olbermann was on. We stopped watching some because the time was too close to sleep and one can only push so much out of one's brain.

They are also planning to flood the polling places and counting stations with тАЬvigilantesтАЭ to intimidate voters and challenge ballots. In other words, they donтАЩt intend to win the election. They intend to steal it.

Read Robert Hubbell's Today's Edition (Aug. 1) and scroll down to "The Republican plan to withhold certification of election results" for reassurance.

SCOTUS is clearly in cahoots. Several have been detailing the ways that SCOTUS has been enacting a Project 2025 Agenda. See Andra Watkins in her Substack today. https://project2025istheocracy.substack.com/p/a-round-up-of-project-2025-happening

The current SC is NOT a panel of jurists.

Six of them are political operatives.

Once you understand that,

All their judgements suddenly make sense.

This is an ongoing coup.

Actually, at least one is a religious operative. It seems that Alito is one of The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) which means he is bound to impose his religious behaviors on everyone on the planet in order for God to come to Earth and save him and his fellow NARs. Here is Andra Watkins comparison of the End of Days ideology of the White Christian Nationalists versus the NARs. https://project2025istheocracy.substack.com/p/what-is-the-new-apostolic-reformation

She is also pointing out that one of the things the NARs need to do is get rid of pornography, but they define it differently then most people would. Hand holding outside of marriage is pornography and being LGBTQ+ is also pornography. https://project2025istheocracy.substack.com/p/this-is-how-christian-nationalists?utm_source=publication-search

So, we need to figure out who is which on the court and then impeach them for not being able to separate Church and state. In fact at this point, I would like to impeach Trump and the Bushes for foisting them on us.

According to reports in Rolling Stone and election lawyer Marc Elias, more than 70 staunch maga ites (pronounce as maggots) have been installed as election officials in swing states. Any one if them could prevent state election certification by with holding poll results in a given district.

The Supreme Court is indeed behind P2025. ThatтАЩs why they gave tRrump immunity before they recessed. I donтАЩt think Thomas realized that Articles of Impeachment were going to filed and in addition that a request from Dems that Garland appoint Special Counsel to investigate Thomas if he violated tax and ethics laws for receiving expensive gifts. Also Thomas and Alito were involved in Jan6 insurrection as was Ginny, ClarenceтАЩs wife. And then Thomas and Alito refused to excuse themselves when Jan6 trials came before them. AndтАж the Federalist Society was very involved in placing three (four ?) judges on the Supreme Court (although tRump elected them for confirmation). Those judges were placed so that tRump (Republicans) would have the majority in the Supreme Court.

Why indeed.

Can we talk about that?

Is the plan just to throw chaos and the election goes to the SC? They then hand it to tRmp as they handed it to Bush in 2000?

OF COURSE THEY HAVE A PLAN TO STEAL THE ELECTION, SEAL THE COUP. This is an ongoing coup!

And so what do we do then?

If they steal our votes, that is tantamount to silencing us. And as MLK Jr. said тАЬa riot is the language of the unheard.тАЭ God help us all.

There is also the electoral college which could easily hand a win to Trump with backup from the Supreme Court

Exactly my question, too.
