response to Jan. 6

WASHINGTON— The House has passed legislation to overhaul the rules for certifying the results of a presidential election as lawmakers accelerate their response to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and Donald Trump’s failed attempt to remain in power. The bill, which is similar to bipartisan legislation moving through the Senate, would overhaul an arcane 1800s-era statute known as the Electoral Count Act that governs, along with the U.S. Constitution, how states and Congress certify electors and declare presidential election winners. While that process has long been routine and ceremonial, Trump and a group of his aides and lawyers unsuccessfully tried to exploit loopholes in the law

Right. This is a move to crucify Republicans. FTA: Hoyer called the Republican opposition a “rationalization of what I believe is treason. ... It was rationalized then, and sadly it is being rationalized now.”

I bet the law says “Only Democrats and Tame RINOS Shall Be Certified as Having Won ANY Election.”

An "arcane" outdated Law that should have KEPT them from doing what they did, illegally, in 2020(at least a dozen states have already passed laws, and made rulings to insure it never happens again), and one that provided a way to challenge their attempts... and still does , unless they over rule and replace it. They keep calling the Trump team "challenges" to the Unprecedented changes and privatization of elections, balloting, even the counting of ballots that had NOT been approved by State Legislatures..."Unprecedented and debunked election lies"...but the constitution itself describes the process, and those that wrote it predicted "Someone" would make attempts to pervert elections, and provided for the means and methods to sort out multiple lists of electors sent from any individual or several states.. If what they did was "LEGAL", they would not NEED to be changing the laws after the fact.

What a load of lies and propaganda. Whatever they are passing now can be repealed later, or be found unconstitutional. That arcane Constitution needs to be done away with too while they are at it. The country is being destroyed in front of our very eyes in broad daylight. No one can stop it.

AP shows, yet again, why they've earned the satirical nickname, "American Pravda", promoting the Left's narrative instead of reporting factual material. Distorting the workings of our Constitutional Republic, along with the intentions behind those and the nature of the changes that the Left pathologically pursue.

Steny Hoyer is merely a mouthpiece for Nancy Pelosi. he never had an original thought in his life and has been sucking the Government teat forever. Th Democrats want to change the law so they can run roughshod over republicans. If anyone is guilty of treason it is the democrats and their party which destroyed the legal votes in America. By the way the Associated Press is another Democrat owned faction and biased as it gets. Just another part of the corrupt media.

Seems they are actually saying January 6 was totally legal. If the process around certification of electoral college needed to be "clarified", it means that there was nothing illegal or "treasonous" by following the process as previously defined. Can't have it both ways.

This law appears to be unconstitutional because it violates the Elections clause. Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legis­lature thereof may direct, a Number of Elect­ors. It directs the Legislature to only accept the popular vote count in all cases and without exception to determine the number of electors. This makes the clause moot since the Legislature no longer has the power to direct how the electors are determined as proscribed in the Constitution.

A left-wing non-governmental organization (NGO) partially funded by billionaire George Soros is behind a lawsuit targeting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for flying illegal aliens to the elite coastal island of Martha’s Vineyard. Late last week, DeSantis sent two flights packed with 50 illegal aliens from Venezuela to Martha’s Vineyard, where former President Obama has a sprawling 29-acre summer estate. Despite having the capacity to house six million new arrivals, the illegal aliens were bused off Martha’s Vineyard less than 48 hours later to Joint Base Cape Cod. A handful of illegal aliens flown to Martha’s Vineyard have since filed a class action lawsuit against DeSantis,

Badly stung by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ brilliant idea to drop two planeloads of illegal immigrants in swanky Martha’s Vineyard last week, the media swarmed over rumors that more migrants were headed to President Biden’s home state of Delaware, flocking to the airport to greet them but being left with egg dripping from their faces when nobody showed up. The official purveyors of disinformation have been having fits after DeSantis succeeded in putting the nation’s border crisis back in the headlines mere weeks before the crucial midterm elections that will determine whether Democrats can maintain their one-party rule over the government,

Once could be excused. Twice is suspicious. Three times seems like a strategy. Are Democrats choosing infirm, intellectually challenged, feeble people to run for office so that they can be easily manipulated? Joe Biden was and is clearly infirm, physically, psychologically, and cognitively. John Fetterman is also clearly infirm due to two things: He has had a recent stroke which seems to have left him cognitively impaired, and he also has a rather prominent swelling on the back of his neck, which could be the sign of several very serious conditions.Kamala Harris is intellectually suspect, linguistically incontinent, and verbally incoherent.

The Civiqs poll averaged 214,149 responses tracked between November 18, 2017, and September 20, 2022. The Civiqs tracking model captures the shifts in attitudes of various groups over time across all 50 states and Washington, DC. These changes can happen either rapidly or over time.

The end is near. For Putin’s military options in Ukraine, that is. Wednesday in Moscow, Putin said he will call up reservists and hold political referenda in captured Ukrainian territory. And yet again, he threatened to use nuclear weapons if Russian territory is in danger. Despite the scary language, Putin is not fooling anybody in NATO. Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg lost no time pointing out that Russia doesn’t have enough weapons to equip more troops. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby immediately said the speech showed Putin was struggling. And at the UN, President Biden denounced Putin’s war.
