I liked what you wrote until the last two sentences. I guess you are referring to me being a blind follower and not learning from the past?
Trump was only one person. He had too much trust in Rudy and other advisors who wanted to go the full court and appeals route, then the alternate electoral votes route.
I read that Trump was supposedly also warned by Secret Service and other security agencies that there was serious threat that he and a member of his family would be killed if he was re-elected. I don't fault him for being a wimp at the end when he had almost all his staff, cabinet, party, and Supreme Court fighting him, plus possibly a threat of himself and his wife? son? being killed.
I felt everyone depended too much on Trump, and he had proven that he trusted his staff and cabinet picks too long after they had shown they should be fired. This was long-standing with Trump. Finally, he was boxed in by people he trusted who shouldn't have been trusted, but that was his own failing. So, I wasn't blindly following Trump.
Once Guiliani continued to say each next court case would turn things around, I started looking to Flynn, McInerney, Powell, Byrne and Wood for information. They presented hope of how the true election results could possibly be shown and upheld. They fought their best. I believe they were even surprised toward the end that Trump chose not to follow things they were recommending that would be Constitutional and would have the whole nation seeing the recounts. I still admire those brave people. They all have suffered harm for their public stand.
I don't particularly care if Trump gets back in at this point, but I want my country to be free from those who carried out the coup, and the election integrity restored. Get rid of the ersatz government and hold a new, just election and I'm happy.
That's right.
I like Flynn, Powell, Wood, Lindell and Byrne because they actually were doing what they could to try to save the country. They were doing what I couldn't do and I am so thankful for their efforts. This seems like something some of us might do to help them when they need our help.
No. I have the same interest in Sidney, Flynn, Patrick Byrne, Lindell, and McInerney. They were the most vocal and active people trying to help save my country after the fraud election. I owe them.
I also don't understand the obsession of some people getting on this thread and another where someone was showing support of Wood and posting more than once how no one should support Wood. It gets to people accusing anyone who doesn't share their opinion of being leftists, deep staters, old, idiots, shills, and others true things said to me and others on just these two threads. I could infer from these comments that YOU all are the shills, the leftists and whatever else, trying to sow discord and to demoralize us. Make your objections known in a civil way, like we're having a discussion, not like we're at war with each other.
I read his tweets during the initial time when he said he would help Kyle. He WAS the (edit to add: first) one who stepped up and said he would help Kyle. I just tried to see if I could see any of his old tweets to refresh my memory, but the account was suspended, so I can't. But at some point, Wood said he had been getting money to help with Kyle's defense and had set up something to handle that money. Later, he announced that he and the new lawyer had worked out that the other one would handle the case, but Lin would consult and help where needed. He also said that the funds would go to Kyle's defense and that the other lawyer would have the account. (This was the essence of what he said, not remembering exact details.)
Thank you for giving your opinion. As I said above, it's good to remind people to look into anyone who receives donations or is someone you start following. You may find out they aren't worth your trust and money.
At this point, I believe he is a genuine patriot, trying to fight now for having loudly supported Trump and having filed lawsuits in Georgia contesting election results. I couldn't do much to help efforts then, but this is something where we might help someone who laid his reputation on the line.
I'll just point out that the post says that Lin Wood is looking for help on some things. If you don't want to help, or don't have anything to offer, then you don't have to. Some people may want to try to help him, still.
He also won millions for Sandmann. He has now been receiving death threats, pursued and filed court cases in Georgia which he pulled together with his own money, He is being tried by the Georgia Bar, in an attempt to disbar him. He hopes to use this to bring out some truth about the election.
He's unconventional, talks too freely, but he has laid everything on the line siding with Trump.
If you read Patrick Byrne's account of what was happening between the election and Jan. 20, it will make the events clearer, I think. Flynn, Sidney, Byrne, and Wood were all on board with having the National Guard, under Flynn's supervision, do a recount of the swing states. It would be done in front of cameras for the country to see it being done fairly. Whatever the result (after throwing out fraudulent, unlawful votes) would be accepted.
Wood seemed to think the Insurrection Act should also come into play, if needed, (from his tweets at the time). Flynn wanted to avoid that.
Flynn, Byrne and Sidney presented this solution to Trump advisors, Rudy, and eventually to Trump himself. He was heavily relying on Rudy, who wanted to go through the courts and not pursue the recount. Later, Rudy and Trump showed interest in the recount and started really considering it. But then they seemed to throw all their hopes on Pence doing the right thing.
So, Wood was sharing in a lot of the optimism of the recount possibly happening.
They DID win. Have you seen the graph of the run-off? It follows the same pattern as the regular election with a sudden influx of votes in the middle of the night/early morning between shifts that turn the election around for Warnock and Ossoff.
We didn't lose that election. It, too, was stolen. We won it except for the fraud.
Edit: He used his own money, time, got death threats and harassment for his efforts with Georgia. He is being sued, facing disbarment, and now considered a pariah among some of Trump supporters. When we have fought that hard, we might be able to run him down. Until then, or until he turns against fighting for truth, I think he deserves our support.
You may want to keep this citizenship, even if you move back.
For most people who leave the country they grew up in to live somewhere else, their homeland is still more "home" than the new country, unless their homeland is so bad they would never go back until it improved drastically. That's why it's important to not allow whoever wants to come into the country come in without limit. They don't have the ties to America that those who grew up here have and they won't want to stick through bad times, and they don't care to try to make it better because they have an escape route.
Those of us who don't have an escape route will do all we can to get America back on track. Come back when we do. We'll welcome you, again! In the meantime, you can go where your relatives may still be and all work to make your country better! Best wishes.
Eh, I don't think that indicts him. I voted for Trump because Cruz was out and I had to vote R to stop Hillary. Soon, I saw that Trump was among the top presidents we've had.
