No way that they would. Still, if someone wants to pivot to being a techbro douche, I actually appreciate the honesty and thoroughness in his commitment to being a techbro douche. It's better than covering it with PR speak.

Again I'm forced to conclude that Epic's ridiculously loud pivot to being a shitty company is being led by Sweeney himself in an attempt to be a snarky, outsized tech personality like Musk. And man, looking up to Musk is just the saddest thing in the world.

So, we just went through this with George Santos, but, here we are. Trump cannot declare a sitting Senator "Illegitimate." A 2/3rds vote is required to expel them. In the Senate, this is only after a review process from the Ethics Committee. So, Trump cannot seize power this way.

It got muddled b/c it was mostly seen as incidental to getting at Trump himself, but Graham didn't just vaguely lean on Raffensperger. He told him to falsify the tally by not counting ballots. Straight-up criminal election fraud no different from telling a poll worker to go dump votes in the trash.
