    Is it 2 hours total? Or 2 hours for each state whose electors get objections raised against them?

    Sadly, I believe the objectors can make separate objections on a state-by-state basis, with 2 hours of debate on each objection. I wouldn't be surprised if these bloviating jerks drag this charade out until the wee hours of the morning.
    We have long had death and taxes as the two standards of inevitability. But there are those who believe that death is the preferable of the two. "At least," as one man said, "there's one advantage about death; it doesn't get worse every time Congress meets."

    I say let them.

    If the Trumpers are handed an opportunity like this and still can't produce solid evidence free of hoaxes and rumors to support the conclusion that any of these states would have gone to Trump if not for fraud, then the debate's over, and they lost. Now's your big shot Trumpers, put up or shut up.

    Just curious, what "evidence" would be enough to meet your demand to "put up"?

    You really want this to be about Trump, don't you?

    I think y'all have got it backwards. The real 'Trumpers' are the ones who haven't stopped trying to find a way to get him out of office since before he was even sworn in. It has always been about Trump to you.

    I've said it once. I've said it twice. I've said it three times. Okay, I've actually lost count, but I will say it again:

    Trump is only going to be president for 2 more weeks.

    But that conglomeration of media power moguls, that deep state takeover of the USA, those powerful elites who run everything, they will still be here, and Trump was the best shot we've had in ages of discrediting them and ruining them. By "best" shot, I don't mean he was great. I don't even mean he was good. He wasn't even okay. But he came closer than anything we've ever come up with, that's for damn sure.

    So what do we do now? The media, like the Fed, has regained its credibility. The leftists have learned that they can outright cheat the system and no one will even lift a finger to stop them. RINO republicans in key positions feign helplessness in the face of all of it. IMO these are far greater threats than a dozen Trumps put together.

    But go ahead, keep making it about Trump. It's an incredibly asinine and short-term goal.

    Not me. I didn't even vote. But I agree that it has always been about Trump for both sides. Not just one. Biden won not because of people positively voting for him, but because there were greater numbers of people with greater zeal who wanted Trump out of office than there were Trumpers who wanted him to win again. The presidential election was a referendum on Trump. It was Trump who drove the high voter turnout on both sides. And in the senatorial elections in Georgia yesterday the same thing happened again.

    The process is to provide evidence of fraud so that you can do an investigation and audit to prove that it happened. The states have courts have blocked the investigations, they have been turning down the lawsuits based on procedural issues like standing. I'm not sure if you are one of those people who believe Trump has lost 50+ lawsuits, but that was fake news. The campaign actually only filed about a half dozen, they had a couple of victories and none of the cases did any of the evidence play into anything.

    The states have blocked the audits.

    What is the Trump campaign supposed to do? They have more than enough evidence that an audit and an investigation needs to take place.

    He's probably not controlled opposition in this venture but with this guy leading the "stolen election recovery" team for Trump in Congress today, chances of recovery are less than 1% now (or about same as were of Lin Wood, Giuliani recovey team's win in Courts).

    There could also be Republican driven muzzle put on during MAGA show talk time after what happened in GA yesterday. Republicans are upset over loss of Senate control.

    If deep state/zionist lobbies that "stole election" from Trump are powerful enough to do it twice with a GOP President, GOP Governor and GOP election officials in charge in Georgia, why would they let this succeed? It would defy logic.

    No it wasn't. It was the process. They literally let people cast ballots for months. In some states, they sent ballots to you so you could fill out and send back. Social media hounded people incessantly to go vote. The gave you badges to share with your "friends" so that you could get more "likes".

    Even without the increased opportunity for fraud, the process this year was totally unprecedented. That's where your turnout came from. Most people couldn't care less about policy differences or personality cults.

    Oh, and fear! Fear is a powerful motivator. Fear of Covid. Fear of racial strife. All these things played a MUCH larger role in the turnout than Trump.

    If they have managed to convince anyone in Congress that this is the case, then now's the perfect chance to make that evidence public.

    Set aside all the videos showing people filling out multiple ballots that turn out to be hoaxes. Set aside all the fake news pictures of lists of names of people who were born in the 1800's or dead people on voter roles, that turn out to be hoaxes. Set aside all the unsourced rumors about the military seizing hard drives in Germany that turn out to be hoaxes. Set aside all the emotion driven dogmas about how there's just no way that many people came out to vote for someone who can't fill stadiums like Trump. Set aside the claims that more votes were cast in this or that place than there were registered voters, that end up being based on wrong sets of numbers. Set aside all the silly Q theories about how Trump was a genius who had secret water marks on all the ballots so that he could catch the fraudsters any minute now. All the things that the Trumpers have been mindlessly retweeting for the past couple months without bothering to evaluate critically before doing so, which in their minds were all supposed to be the silver bullets that proved fraud. And if there's really something better than all that (which if so, it makes you wonder why the Trumpers kept relying on all that other nonsense), something that representatives and senators will be able to present to Congress before the eyes of the nation without making utter fools of themselves, then speak now or forever hold your peace.

    Somehow I think that regardless of whatever the evidence is, you would not be willing to acknowledge it.

    That's not true. It's natural that turnout would be high in swing states where people feel motivated by the chance to make a difference. But in 2020 it was high across the nation. And it was especially high in blue states, where they were guaranteed to go Biden all along.

    Followed by 2 years of demonizing all the things the guys with the power are doing.

    Followed by 2 years of candidate x, y, and z as silver bullets to fix America, so make sure you drive to your local polling place at the specified time and watch tons of tv, and social media so you don't fall for the propaganda like all those silly sheep.

    Sound familiar?

    You are a sheep. Embrace it. The voices telling you to be a wolf and berate the sheep prevent you from hearing the voice of the shepherd.

    Hmm. And your words do not sound like someone who has a healthy skepticism of the deep state. You're not alone here, BTW. There are a great number of people on RPF who have ruined this place either willfully or ignorantly defending TPTB, and I probably have more than half of the frequent RPF posters on my ignore list.

    Why wouldn't TPTB cheat?

    I mean, They have incited riots. They have ran a 4-year non-stop 25-hour/day 8-days/week media blitzkrieg against Trump, likely because they prefer a senile puppet for a president. They have ruined careers and livelihoods in their crusade for 'wokeness'. They have promised ponies and unicorns in exchange for votes. They have released thugs back out onto the streets while vilifying people well within their rights to protect themselves and their property.

    Nah, I'm a fool, there was no election fraud. Most honest election ever.

    This place has essentially become divided between:

    People who want to expose the deep state, even if it might make Trump look good,

    and

    People who don't want to expose the deep state, because it might make Trump look good.

    I don't like anything about Trump, but even I can agree with everything you said here.

    To me, Trump was a horrible president. A despicable con man. But regardless of my opinion about him, it's obvious that the election system was rigged against him this year.

    I do not defend the powers that be. I do not think they're above cheating. I do not think there was no election fraud. Nor have I said anything that implied any of those things.

    The most important way the elites affect election outcomes is through influencing popular opinions via the media. Their main tool in 2020 was propaganda, just like it was in every previous election. Not a vast conspiracy to switch Trump votes to Biden votes, or inject massive numbers of fake Biden votes at a time, or lose massive numbers of Trump votes at a time. If those things happened, it will be provable. Where fraud occurred it was on the individual level and uncatchable, and happened on both sides.

    You just want someone to present you evidence without you actually looking for it, and then when they do, you rationalize it away. You actually, sound like you don't really want to believe that they cheated, so why should anyone waste time trying to appease your 'supposed' suspicion?

    The 2020 election was entirely unconstitutional. I look forward to Congress cementing for the masses that the Constitution is meaningless and ought to be discarded.
