Remember when Hollywood flunkies tried to overturn an election?
I do. It seems that the legality of urging electors to ignore their duty shifts (D)epending on who is making the request. By the way, it looks like the original "Unite for America" video has been pulled down from YouTube so I'll have to depend on this Mark Dice clip:

Why pretend to be this amorally stupid?
Why memory-hole your actual legitimate outrage to make room for garbage pretend outrage?
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 06, 2021 Absolutely disgraceful I'm just getting caught up with the events of today but there's no proper response except disgust and revulsion at this third-world behavior in the world's oldest democracy. Apparently Trump incited the crowd to march on Congress and the blame largely lies with him. The Washington Examiner is correct here: "Trump and his mob have dishonored America." The mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday was engaged in nothing less than a seditious insurrection. Everyone who participated in the violence and lawlessness acted disgracefully. Officials who set the tone for the sedition, especially President Trump, acted even more disgracefully, as they are expected to know better, indeed to lead. And Senator Ben Sasse: "Today, the United States Capitol — the world’s greatest symbol of self-government — was ransacked while the leader of the free world cowered behind his keyboard — tweeting against his Vice President for fulfilling the duties of his oath to the Constitution," Sasse, who has been a critic of Trump's in the past, said in a statement.
"Lies have consequences. This violence was the inevitable and ugly outcome of the President’s addiction to constantly stoking division," he continued. I'm not going to engage in equivocation like some others. And, yes, I thought Trump's bluster after losing the election - which I acknowledged on election day - was mostly empty sore-loser hot air. I figured we would just have to listen to these hallow complaints for a month and then he'd be gone. But, instead, Trump confirmed all the dictatorial and anti-democratic criticisms aimed against him and then distanced himself when it all went sideways. Inauguration Day can't come soon enough.
David Frum: "For sure I'd be a huge hero under conditions of maximum danger," say people who cannot manage to be an ordinarily decent human being under conditions of minimum danger.
Trump was our test. It was not a hard one. It's recorded in the books of eternity who passed and who failed.
