The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The point is not to win. The point is to cast more doubt on the democratic process.

Delay. Contend that a Congressman or Senator cannot be seated, until all questions are answered about the vote for that seat. Then use Trump's usual MO: make one claim. Run that one all the way up to SCOTUS. Then make another claim. Run that one all the way up to SCOTUS. Wash, rise, repeat, as Congress carries on with the Trump agenda, without any opposition from the empty seat. Keep in mind, the only thing that stopped the circus in 2020 was Trump's lap dog, Barr, refused to keep at it, and all the top people in the DOJ threatened to resign, if Trump replaced Barr with someone who would keep litigating to infinity.

“Mr. President,” Barr says he told Trump, “the reason you are in this position is that, instead of having a crackerjack legal team that had its shit together from day one, you wheeled out a clown show, and no quality lawyers who would otherwise be willing to help will get anywhere near it.”

“Look, Mr. President, they wasted a whole month with this idiotic claim about Dominion machines,” Barr says he continued. “First, there is no evidence they were compromised. Your team picked the one theory that can be easily disproven.”

Trump remained unconvinced and continued spinning off more conspiracy theories about the election, and Barr wrote that he knocked each one down in turn.

“Have you bothered to ask the people who are feeding you this sh*t how the votes compared to the last election?” Barr says he asked the former president.

We are frelled. Trump will be President for life, and rule by diktat, if there is not a quorum in Congress due to his litigating every election he doesn't like.
