All them things the constitution does not say are important. It does not say elections are fair. It says they are run by states.

They need to spell "arse" correctly first of all.

What next? Liz Cheney is returned to full party approval?

Politico:
Former President Donald Trump has hit a wall in his efforts to oust Mitch McConnell as GOP leader.

Despite months of attacks, the Trump-led campaign to depose the Senate minority leader has resulted in firm pledges from just two Republican candidates and no senators, and it has failed to turn up a formidable challenger to run against McConnell.

“How this guy can stay as Leader is beyond comprehension—this is coming not only from me, but from virtually everyone in the Republican Party,” Trump wrote Thursday. “He is a disaster and should be replaced as ‘Leader’ ASAP!”

More:
And while McConnell may not be looking for a direct fight with Trump, he’s clearly not above trolling him. Take, for example, his comments this week on the House Jan. 6 committee. “I think finding facts is interesting. We’re all going to look at it’ McConnell told Spectrum News. “It was a horrible event, and I think what they want to know is something the public needs to know.” likewise, he told CNN: “It will be interesting to reveal all the participants who were involved.”

Just as Trump showed no remorse for his failed coup attempt, don’t expect to lose sleep over not bringing McConnell down. Normal politicians would be ashamed of their failures, but Trump is playing with numbers. You miss all the pictures you don’t take. Trump’s targets for defeat within the GOP are also Rep. Liz Cheney and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. He won’t miss them all.

Trump's last chance: Bannon.
Conservative broadcaster Steve Bannon explained on Monday that he has an expansive plan to "take over the election apparatus."

During his Real America Voice program, Bannon responded to reports on MSNBC that he was one of the main players in an effort to overturn the 2020 election on behalf of then-President Donald Trump.

"All the MSNBC producers should understand something," Bannon said. "We're going to get it decertified in Arizona, in Georgia, in Pennsylvania, in -- wait for it -- Wisconsin. We're going to get these electors decertified."
"And guess what. We're going to take over the election apparatus," he added. "American citizens that are volunteering. I understand that you don't think that's democracy because the globalists have kind of done the misdirection plays and had everybody looking the other way. No, no, no, no. Those days are over."

Bannon noted that many members of his audience have military and law enforcement training.

"A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing"
That attitude was the mistake people made almost exactly 100 years ago. Today's fascists are barely past the stage of the Beer Hall Putsch, which collapsed ignominiously within hours. Some leaders were jailed and everyone laughed them off as a bunch of ridiculous, incompetent and impotent clowns. Then those leaders changed tack. They adopted a strategy of whiteanting democratic institutions from the inside. In March 1933, a little over ten years after the Putsch the NSDAP won 43.9% of the votes and 288 (out of 647) seats. Not quite a majority, but enough to control parliament. The combined votes and seats of next two biggest vote winners, the SPD and the KPD, totalled 30.6% of the votes and 201 seats. Game over. At the next election, November 1933, the NSDAP won 92.1% of the votes and all seats. It was the only party allowed to field candidates.

All of this happened openly. Joseph Goebbels made the intention crystal clear in an article published in April 1928.
We enter the Reichstag to arm ourselves with democracy’s own arsenal of weapons. If democracy is foolish enough to give us free railway passes and salaries, that is its problem … We are coming neither as friends nor neutrals. We come as enemies! As the wolf attacks the sheep, so come we.
Der Angriff, Aufsätze aus der Kampfzeit (My translation)

The attitude underlying Shakespeare's oft-quoted line is as inappropriate now as it was catastrophically wrong then.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould
