Related: About this forumDeSantis and Bondi disappear as Trump's election challenges grow desperate and chaotic
The presidents last gasps include conspiracies about Dominion voting machines, used without a problem in Florida, a state he won.President Donald Trump, his progressively desperate legal challenges floundering from a lack of proof, welcomed two high-ranking Michigan Republicans to the White House on Friday as he zeroed in on a new strategy to subvert the election.
The latest maneuver would have Republican legislatures in critical states overrule the will of their voters and certify a different slate of electors than the ones chosen by the popular vote.
If the move sounds familiar to Floridians and Fox News viewers, its because Gov. Ron DeSantis was one of the first and most prominent elected officials to suggest it. Speaking on The Ingraham Angle two days after the election, DeSantis urged Trump to fight on and pushed legislatures to take matters into their own hands.
Under Article II of the Constitution, presidential electors are done by the legislatures and the schemes they create and the framework, DeSantis said. If theres departure from that, if theyre not following the law, if theyre ignoring the law, then they can provide remedies as well.
The comment landed like a grenade in an oil field. And DeSantis, a close political ally of the president, disappeared almost immediately after throwing it.

(2,587 posts)3. Pam Bondi is the biggest sleazeball.
I was at a luncheon where she was the featured speaker.
Arrogant, contemputous, and condescending. Definitely projecting vibes she was doing US the favor by gracing us with her presence.
She was part of that horrendous Four Seasons Landscaping event in Philadelphia...and hasn't really been heard from since (sorry, if she popped up on FOX, Newsmax or OANN then I DEFINITELY missed it). I suspect even SHE knew what a turkey that disaster was.
