'TRAITOR, TRAITOR, TRAITOR': Trump supporters hurl abuse at Mitt Romney on flight from Salt Lake City to D.C. for refusing to back bid to overturn Biden victory

UK Daily Mail  . . . "Romney is among the Republican Senators who have rejected an effort to oppose certification of Joe Biden's presidency this week when Congress meets to officially count the electoral college votes.

"He is seen in one video being confronted by a woman as he waits for his flight. She demands to know why Romney is not supporting Donald Trump with the president's unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud.

"Romney cannot be seen in the second video, which went viral on Tuesday night, and claimed to show maskless Trump fans screaming 'traitor' at the senator while on the plane.

"Thousands of Trump loyalists are flying to Washington D.C. to attend a massive 'Stop the Steal' rally scheduled for Wednesday." . . . 

. . . Trump allies Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, both also spoke out Sunday, insisting attempts to stop the certification of the Electoral College 'will go nowhere'. 

" The process will unfold Wednesday on Capitol Hill, but the final outcome is not in doubt. 

" The results will eventually be certified for Biden, who will be sworn in as the nation´s 46th president two weeks later." . . .

Pierre Delecto gets booed by constituents at the airport and on the plane

. . . "Some Twitter Democrats tut-tutted the Trump Republicans for their bad manners, but that was disingenuous. They made hay on harassing and threatening Republicans all through the summer, looting, rioting and burning ... and somehow that's what got them on top now. Kamala Harris even cheered the rioters and said the looting would go on ... and look where she is.

"Will it work for Republicans? Let's just say that Republicans in ballot-harvesting California learned to play the Democrats game by the Democrats' rules far better than the Democrats did this time around.

"Yes, harassing people in airports is something hippies used to do and perfectly characteristic of leftists today in their tactics. What's good for the goose is one argument, now that the left is the establishment. But it's also the result of frustration because legal means of redress for a fraudulent election have been dismissed or ignored without any meaningful hearings. When grievances fail to be redressed, wildcat tactics follow.

"Others noted that something bigger was going on and the lines to the Trump rally were already a mile long. A mass movement seemed to be brewing and maybe new party, without RINOs like Mitt, was in the works."

Trump’s call to Georgia’s secretary of state is Brad Raffensperger's dodge

"What was actually said on the call, which included several other members of the Trump team, was quite different. Trump himself stated: "We think that if you check the signatures — a real check of the signatures going back in Fulton County you'll find at least a couple of hundred thousand of forged signatures. ..." *

Tadas Klimas "The Internet is aflame about President Trump’s Jan. 3 call to the Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state.

"Any semi-honest perusal of the transcript will force a conclusion that not only was there nothing wrong with Trump’s statements, but that Raffensperger’s position is nothing but a dodge, a subterfuge, a bid cover up his own failure to do his job and follow the law.  

"Raffenberger's dodge is this: To assert that anonymous state government employees have “investigated” allegations, so that there is nothing to speak about, all the while keeping the “reports” of the investigations secret.

"If there are any.

"An especially slick part of the dodge is that it is largely anonymous government employees being complained about, both in the execution of acts of fraud and in regard to their investigation (or cover-up).

"An attorney for Trump, Cleta Mitchell, who participated in the call came close to spotting this. She said:

[Y]ou have data and records that we don’t have access to. And you can keep telling us and making public statem[ent[s] that you investigated this and nothing to see here. But we don’t know about that. All we know is what you tell us. What I don’t understand is why wouldn’t it be in everyone’s best interest to try to get to the bottom, compare the numbers, you know, if you say, because . . . to try to be able to get to the truth because we don’t have any way of confirming what you’re telling us. You tell us that you had an investigation at the State Farm Arena. I don’t have any report. I’ve never seen a report of investigation. I don’t know that is. I’ve been pretty involved in this, and I don’t know. 

"The salient point is that there is no honest, above-board, reason to hide the reports. Not one single solitary reason, and there is every reason, if one is serving the public, to make certain they are made public and reviewable." . . .*

Totalitarian Left Promises Purges And Punishment For All Trump Voters

The Federalist

By trying to name and shame Trump supporters, the ‘Trump Accountability Project’ betrays a preference for Soviet-style retribution over a commitment to basic decency.

"If 2020 didn’t already feel enough of a Kafkaesque nightmare, the latest bit of depravity from the “hate has no home here” totalitarian left is a ghoulish scheme announced by three former Barack Obama and Pete Buttigieg staffers on Twitter last week called “The Trump Accountability Project.” Aspiring apparatchiks Emily Abrams, Michael Simon, and Hari Sevugan lauded the website whose stated mission is to “never forget those who furthered the Trump agenda.”

"According to the now privatized site, whose internet archives were captured, anyone associated with the Trump administration, including those who elected him, staffed his government, funded him, endorsed him, worked in law firms for him, and who supported him in general, should be “held accountable.”

"The site includes a comprehensive list of “known collaborators,” including U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, White House Chief of Staff Mike Meadows, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, campaign advisors Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon, and the 56 federal judges, including U.S. Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, appointed by President Trump. No one is spared: assistants, receptionists, stenographers, calligraphers—our diligent Comrades know how to name names.

"The idea of punishing people who have supported Trump also surfaced among media types including Jake Tapper of CNN and Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post. All of them have called for at least social recriminations such as keeping the “guilty” from being able to support themselves and their families through paid employment." . . .

Good grief! Has America come to this?  'Whisperers' of Stalin's Russia Find Their Voice  . . . "Private life in communist Russia, he says, reduced people to a breed of whisperers — people scared to give full voice to doubts or dissidence, and whispering dark secrets behind the backs of neighbors, friends and even family. Stalin's regime relied heavily on "mutual surveillance," urging families to report on each other in communal living spaces and report "disloyalty." Many people did what they could to survive, but they dealt with shame and guilt long after Stalin's reign." . . .

Chuck Todd melts down on air when his bias is challenged, then makes it worse

Thomas Lifson  . . . "Todd must have been expecting another Republican patsy when he framed the interview (complete video embedded below) as about “the Republican effort to delegitimize Joe Biden’s election,” claiming “there was no widespread fraud,” there is “no chance of overturning the election,” and “it looks like it is being done to curry favor with President Trump.”

But Senator Johnson didn’t take the bait and calmy began with his extremely important work on Covid therapies, the ability of physicians to effectively treat early-stage cases with widely available, safe, cheap medications. (This December 8, 2020 hearing chaired by Johnson is very eye-opening, and the fact the medical establishment is largely ignoring if not suppressing these therapies is the greatest public health scandal since the Tuskegee studies.) The senator then moved on to point to facts and the fireworks began. Nicholas Fondacaro of Newsbusters describes the melee:" . . . 

. . . "Propaganda media rose to defend Todd, but Ric Grenell provoked Todd into de facto admitting defeat by blocking him (hat tip: Red State)" . . .

Chuck’s shaking in his chair and his voice is cracking. He doesn’t like being confronted with the truth. Wow, Ron Johnson really got to Chuck Todd.

Democrats being Democrats

 McCarthy: Elections Proved Americans Are ‘Fed Up’ with Democrats  . . . "The minority leader asserted that the embrace of radical ideas, including defunding the police, by some progressive Democrats had created an opportunity for Republicans to show they had the voters’ best interests in mind.  

“As the Party of Lincoln, Republicans understand what it means to carry our constituents’ concerns with us at all times,” McCarthy said. 

"Pelosi’s slim hold on the speakership came after Democrats lost ten house seats this past November. 

"The majority of the losses came from moderate districts that had previously voted for Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump." . . .
