If the Democrats win, it's proof that the Democrats rigged the election.  If the Republicans win, that's also proof that the Democrats rigged the election.  The logic is indisputable, and fact that Sidney Powell claims that she has the evidence is proof that she does.

I'm still waiting for her to demonstrate that, if the results split, that's proof that the Democrats rigged the election. 
Well that makes it even more likely that it was rigged. They wanted to make it look good, but they wanted to get at least one seat.

You are not Sidney Powell.  :blurgh:

I only believe the lies that she issues so shamelessly.  Sane people merely pretending to be insane shameless liars (e.g. you, Mitch McConnell, Tom Brady) are not credible.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

"They" being ?

The Republican governor and Secretary of State, who were paid off by the Chinese, Venezuelans, and Cubans.  D'uh. :mellow:

Are these senators willing to guarantee that this extra-constitutional commission wouldl change people's minds about the rigged election?

Trump accused Ted Cruz of unprecedented voter fraud in 2016.  Perhaps we should look into that.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Disappointed to see John Kennedy on the list of disgraced Senators. 
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Republicans keeping digging? My word! :o

Regardless of how January 6 goes, I wonder if that now means that if GOP controls both House and Senate in 2025, then we'll have a Republican President?

It's not a good situation, is it?  I have no idea what happens if both houses of congress refuse to certify an election.  I don't know what happens when only one chamber approves it.

So only 20% of Republican Senators want to overthrow democratic election results?

I get your point that they aren't a majority who can actually do anything, but it still feels like a fairly sizeable chunk and I think loser's consent is a really important part of democratic legitimacy.

Worry is pointless. At no point can I alter the outcome.

I am impressed Ted Cruz has time to do that between funneling valuable PPP small business money to his billionaire buddies.
