@auctionman67 @NickAdamsinUSA @VP @Mike_Pence No they are not. They’ve rejected all attempts to appoint fake electors. Also it would ultimately still require the consent of the House of Representatives, which has a 0.00% probability. It’s over. — PolitiTweet.org

@uppitybanker @NickAdamsinUSA @VP @Mike_Pence No, protestors at the Capitol do not have the authority to reject the certified electoral college votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@SouthBay_Hank Because I think Democracy is pretty important. And the rule of law. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @NickAdamsinUSA: That’s not how it works. If @VP rejects a state’s electoral college votes, then both the Senate AND the House would need to agree to sustain that objection (0.00% chance). @Mike_Pence does not have the legal authority to overturn the election all by himself. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClaireOliveBo @goldenglobes That’s not the correct analogy. This is not the Academy Awards. It’s the Golden Globes and Hollywood Foreign Press. Get it? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@VoetsakULib @goldenglobes I won’t shut up. Also, I voted for Covid relief and hope we can now get $2000 in stimulus checks if Sen McConnell doesn’t block it. — PolitiTweet.org

@UTBBrad @goldenglobes The question is why it can’t be in the Best Picture category. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @goldenglobes: Please change your name to “Golden Only For English Speaking People,” because that would be more accurate. #Minari is an American movie about a Korean American family in Arkansas. Why does a best picture have to be in English? Globe is in your name. Get it? — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @laurenboebert: The difference between a 99% survival rate and a 99.8% survival rate in the United States, with a population of 331 million people, is 2,648,000 Americans who would not die from #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@ChristinLuvsSno @stevenmnuchin1 @realDonaldTrump @POTUS The current bill provides $2400 for family of four. $2000 stimulus checks would provide $8000 for family of four, not $3400. Democrats PASSED $3.4 billion in Heroes Act that had $1200 per person, which would be $4800 for family of four. Dems did not hold this up. GOP Senate did. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@realtalkremy @stevenmnuchin1 @realDonaldTrump @POTUS It’s possible. Depends how hard Trump pushes GOP Senators. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear Secretary @stevenmnuchin1: You failed the American people. You hid that @realDonaldTrump wanted $2000 stimulus checks. You are not the President. You cannot substitute your own views. Your job is to negotiate on behalf of @POTUS, not mislead Congress about Trump’s views. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@DigiCajun @ATSVasaCroe @realDonaldTrump You are wrong. Sen McConnell said no. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Don’t sign the Covid relief bill. Veto it with the message that you will only sign a Covid relief bill with $2000 stimulus checks. And I guarantee you the House will then immediately pass a Covid relief bill with $2000 stimulus checks. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@jitsu_jr @stevenmnuchin1 @realDonaldTrump @POTUS So are we supposed to negotiate with no one in the White House? The White House directed us to negotiate with Mnuchin. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear Secretary @stevenmnuchin1: Were you just making stuff up during the Covid relief negotiations? If you weren’t speaking for @realDonaldTrump, then who were you speaking for? Why did you oppose $2000 stimulus checks if @POTUS was for it? Why were we even negotiating with you? — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased that Congress passed our legislation to establish a centralized website where all Inspector General reports will be posted. https://t.co/fWCuurFLDs — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Below are more examples of why the American people fired @realDonaldTrump: he repeatedly puts himself and his friends like Duncan Hunter and Chris Collins above our country. No ordinary American who was convicted of lying to the @FBI or insider trading would ever get a pardon. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Congratulations to my friend @AlexPadilla4CA!!! I served with Alex Padilla when we were both state senators in California. Alex will be an incredible federal Senator. Kudos to @GavinNewsom for making a historic pick of an amazing elected official. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

This is so sad, the President of the United States is stewing in a dark place still thinking he can reverse the will of the American people. GOP legislators refused to appoint fake electors. And House needs to consent, which is a 0.00% probability. It’s over for @realDonaldTrump. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Sidney Powell is so unhinged that the official legal team for @realDonaldTrump wants nothing to do with her, and explicitly states she does not speak for Trump. So why is @POTUS repeatedly meeting with her? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Several Members of Congress cannot overturn the will of the American people. There is a 0.0000000 chance the House will overturn the certified electoral college results. Also, there is zero evidence of mass voter fraud. That’s why @realDonaldTrump lost every voter fraud case. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Over 318,000 Americans have died from #COVID19 and the virus is surging in many areas. Russia executed a massive hack against our nation, again. Many Americans are unemployed and can’t pay their bills. We are in a recession. But the below is what @realDonaldTrump is focused on. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Your own AG Barr contradicts you. Please pull your head out of the crazy conspiracy theories and do your job. The virus is surging. Russia hacked the US, again. The economy is in a recession. Opioid abuse is rising. Stop watching TV and start governing. — PolitiTweet.org

@RealRdotC @realDonaldTrump Help us flip the two Georgia Senate races. Whether or not I do social media, the $600 number won’t change unless Dems control the Senate. It’s not like I can get into a fist fight with McConnell & somehow change the outcome. But we can remove him as Senate leader by flipping GA. — PolitiTweet.org
