This is so full of awesome that we must bring it to you.
It has to be set-up perfectly to deeply appreciate the ass-kicking that Arizona Governor Doug Ducey gave either Trump or Pence today as he was certifying Arizona’s election. And, sort of recorded evidence of one of them attempting felonious election interference. Ducey likely saved Trump or Pence from doing it with video evidence.
Obviously, because Trump lost Arizona by a reasonably close margin, Trump is trying to stop everything in certification and send things to the courts or legislatures.
Meanwhile, we need to point out that a couple of Republican Governors, Kemp, and Ducey, Georgia, and Arizona, both followed the law today in certifying their elections, and in doing so, they essentially told the White House to go shove its objections up its oval orifice.
In this video, we see Ducey preparing to sign off on certification. Ducey’s phone had a ringtone set to play Hail to the Chief when the White House called so he would know to pick up. Except this time, he silences it and leaves them hanging, not answering.
Breath in the beauty. This is elegant. And it’s coming from a hardcore Republican who just doesn’t happen to ascribe to Trump gets whatever Trump wants. This Republican understands there are things called “laws” and his oath is to follow them and not the guy calling on his cell phone offering cold cash or “an accident” if he signs that piece of paper (probably not). And the dude just sets it aside while finishing his work. Thank you to the election gods. We put up with so much and this is our reward!
You gotta REALLY listen closely.
HE'LL GET BACK TO YOU Back in July, Gov. Ducey said he changed his White House ringtone to "Hail to The Chief" so he wouldn't miss a call from Trump/Pence. Guess who called while Ducey was certifying Arizona's election? (7 secs in) pic.twitter.com/bzBGpfSIDf [1]

I could watch that 50 times today. And others appreciated it, too.
quite the symbolism in muting that ringtone https://t.co/gxPwxyV3tr [3]

Normally I would agree that it is pathetic, but honestly do you really want him working between now and January 20th? I imagine he's doing enough damage as it is while he sits in front of his television and furiously tweet about his denial of reality.

When it comes to Trump, it's not "Hail to The Chief" it's 'Hang Up on Orange Cheeto'
No-one wants to take his loser calls.

This is exactly right and what we pointed out above.
OMG, can you imagine Trump's reaction watching his phone call get thrown to VM in real-time on his TV? He must have shit his fucking diaper.

He is screwed with Republicans in the state but he’s not screwed by the FBI in the next term.
I've watched it 6 times already.

We’ll end it right there because we’re considering the same thing.
