The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

Roger Stone had videographer, Christoffer Guldbrandsen, following him around during the 2020 presidential election cycle. In early November of 2020, before the election was officially called for Joe Biden but when the Trump campaign team believed they had lost the election, Roger Stone was busy pushing the alternate elector scheme to various associates, and Guldbrandsen has Stone on film directing the effort through an assistant.

Stone dictated: 'Although state officials in all 50 states must ultimately certify the results of the voting in their state' the final decision as to who the state legislatures authorize be sent to the Electoral College is a decision made solely by the legislature. Any legislative body may decide on the basis of overwhelming evidence of fraud, to send electors to the Electoral College who accurately reflect the president's legitimate victory in their state, which was illegally denied him through fraud.'

With a plan already in the works, the Father of the Stop the Steal movement set the fake electors wheels turning.

Guldbrandsen said that Stone soon began lobbying Trump for a preemptive pardon but when it never arrived, Stone had a melt down and started bad-mouthing Trump, suggesting it would be good if Trump ended up in prison where he could reflect on letting his team players down by failing to protect them with pardons.

Hhmmm. Stone on camera plotting the fake electors scheme to defraud states of their votes and secure a victory for Donald Trump seems, well, umm, indictable.
