CREW:

The fact that Tim Scott is refusing to say he’d follow the law and not try to overthrow the results of a free and fair election should scare anyone listening. This is how democracies end.

👇🏼
WELKER: Will you commit to accepting the 2024 election results?

TIM SCOTT: At the end of the day, the 47th president will be Donald Trump

WELKER: Wait -- yes or no, will you accept the results?

TIM SCOTT: That is my statement

Serious disconnect from reasonable politics. Cult behavior becomes silliness > false grievance >anger > violence > big time whoops > heart break > all shackled to a lie.

@GottaLaff He didn't just refuse to respect the election, he told Welker that he plans to be involved in another insurrection.

OUTRAGE IS EASY:

Our "outrage" at this point is more than a little bit pointless. Let Sen. Scott & Gov. Sununu et al be damned. While we rant and rail at the blatant anti-democratic excesses, the Republicans will take back our democracy in November and replicate 1973 Chile with it.

Within the rule of law, and maintaining our Democratic integrity, we must find measures to stop this...

Otherwise, we're screwed.😐

I guess he forgot his Oath of Office:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

@Brentguernsey No, he didn't forget. No Trumpy forgets. This is willful, this is what they want.

@GottaLaff this sounds to me like he'd want to help with the coup if Donald loses a free and fair election.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@geographile There's no "sounds like" about it. That's what they'll do. Trump and his loyalists have no qualms about overturning democracy and replacing it with an authoritarian regime.

@GottaLaff Well, that's all he said. That's all we need to know. 🤦 🤬

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@VeroniqueB99 Yep. But we already know this is how every Trumpy is thinking: Supporting the end of democracy with Trump as dictator.

Geez.. this is so warped, and makes no sense. If he believes will be there for him, he's in for a shock.

@gooba42@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff We've already discussed that it would be legal, but shitty, for him to be POTUS from prison.

My read is that the only way they don't forcibly install Trump is if he's dead.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@gooba42 I tend to agree. Sigh.

Reporters: it’s okay to outright call these Nazi scum damn liars and fucking cowards on-air. You won’t get fired.
You’ll be a trendsetter! An influencer! Think of all the clicks that’d come your way!

First one to do it gets a quarter-bag of weed and a Disney day pass on me.

I may have said it before, but to repeat, IMHO, Scott sold his soul for his ambition some years ago. 😠

Not just half-assed ask if he would respect the results

This just goes to show that January 6th was merely a dress rehearsal.

I hope that the police are willing to actually stop them this time.

Tim Scott knows he will be a timid, cowardly mouthpiece of a mouse, as part of a bloody second coup led by Donald Trump, and he's so excited about it he can barely hide his excitement.

@GottaLaff Congress needs to pass a law to enforce the 14th amendment. They need to assure the country that no seditious conspirators, insurrectionists, potential insurrectionist, or coup plotters can ever hold federal office.

@GottaLaff ME: I'm sorry, Senator, but that is patent BS. Is yours a party of Law? Do you believe in enforcing the law?

Can we just cut to the chase? This man is openly saying he rejects the Constitution. It’s open treason.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@GhostOnTheHalfShell All the Trumpies are saying this. So... yes.

@GottaLaff and by "47th" he means final.
