OP is alone in the dark , earnestly waiting for the arrival of the Great Pumpkin
Some couples can live with political differences. But no one can live with a skunk. I'm sorry your husband wasn't the man you'd hoped for. You deserve better
Watch a few of these and refresh your memory. The victims will never completely get over what happened to them.
I believe this speech was intentionally ambiguous, and I'm not convinced he's stepping down.
You can easily imagine him thinking, "Alright, you did everything you possibly could. Maybe one of my kids has a future in politics. I love this country and dont want my legacy to be that I threw a bomb over my shoulder as I was leaving"
You can also easily imagine him thinking, "Alright, I'm going to ruin every last cocksucker who screwed me. This country will NOT fall to Socialism while I draw breath"
I honestly don't know
My heart sank as I watched this. I felt... abandoned.
Then I read a comment that another TDW poster made- If you listen very carefully, he did NOT say he was conceding. And while he did say there would be a transition to a new administration, he did NOT say it was going to be a Biden administration.
He didn't rule out the possibility that he'd still be President- just that it would be a 'new' administration. Without Pence, it's a new new administration.
Granted, that's the most positive spin possible, and it verges on wishful thinking. But it cant be ruled out, either. That was a short, highly crafted speech he made. Is it so unthinkable to leave open the possibility that it was designed to be intentionally obscure?
This is the most optimistic interpretation I can think of.

This isn't something I'm proud of, but here ya go- there have been times when I've met people and instantly felt contempt for them based off of one thing and not knowing anything else about them.
Someone with Nazi tattoos. People with special pronouns. Anyone who makes their living from religion. People doing the thug-life thing. For a while now, it's been anyone who votes Democrat. We can also add works in law enforcement, especially the FBI.
I'm not saying every one in every group is a bad person. There are, I'm sure, many fine people as well. Still, if I know you work for the FBI, you're starting off with 2 strikes against you.
We are going to be hunted.
For the better part of a year, the Left has rioted, burned cities, smashed and defaced public and private property, committed violence .... and we watched LEO's and politicians fucking kneel to them.
MAGA supporters? Their protests have been put down with ruthless efficiency. Overwhelming manpower. High level tactics. I saw the fucking video of cops moving barriers to let crowds into the Capital, and I saw that woman get shot in the neck.
Trump has been betrayed. They American people have been betrayed.
Mr. Biden is a liar. And a cheater. And a serial sexual abuser. And by the looks of 40 years worth of evidence, a thieving traitor. So I'd like to congratulate him on staying out of prison.
Hopefully, that will change soon
I’d upvote the sentiment but there no chance I’m going to support an actual Nazi.
What's the over under on the date shit kicks off?
You know how a magician will sometimes demonstrate half a dozen failsafes that make his illusion impossible to fake?
This is the same thing.
Remember back in July when several testing sites in Florida returned positive results for 100% of everyone?
Not 2 hours ago, I went to a franchise hair salon for a trim. When I sat down, one of the employees tried to hand me a mask. "Here. You need to wear one of these".
Me- "No."
Instantly got up and walked out. Fuck 'em. (A privately owned shop down the block was happy for my business)
I'm willing to play along if it's a medical setting. Anything else? I'm done playing.
Whoa! This woman totally flipped out. I wonder how often she goes berserk like that?
It's kind of funny, but also tragic- she's a TEACHER! she teaches STUDENTS! and I'd imagine in her personal life, she's got family and an SO who have to put up with this kind of insanity.
Scott's argument is valid but insufficient (from a legal standpoint).
Maybe he had to reschedule because of a doctor's appointment.
If true, this needs to be investigated further. Considering the small but significant differences between Parent and her 'look-alike' who was videoed counting ballots, I wouldn't spend a lot of time on this.
The statistical- mathematical evidence, coupled with the sworn testimony of fraud, and the fuckery surrounding the voting machines and software is what we need to focus on.
She's just got a very common look. I don't think its the same woman. One of them isn't wearing a wedding ring.
There are a lot of ways to look at this. I'd imagine a lawyer for the other side could find reasonable explanations for a lot the evidence. As a reasonable juror, I'd allow for 1/2 of the eye witnesses to be mistaken, some of the voter role stuff is within a margin of error, and some of the math analysis's to be off.
That leaves hundreds of sworn eye witness accounts, 10's of thousands of illegitimate votes, dozens of iron-clad statistical analysis' , physical machines and software designed to steal elections, actual video of illegal activity, and what is clearly a cover-up attempt.
How a judge will rule - that all depends on their party affiliation and how much they have to hide.
In any system, the established elites pick and choose who gets to play. Do you think the Old Guard would welcome disruptor? Not a chance. They pick from a pool of candidates who they can control.
The dirtier someone is, the more secrets they need to hide, the more amenable they are to 'cooperate'. That's why the scummiest float to the top. Thieves, liars, cheaters, degenerates... those are the men and women in positions of power.
Ever take time to really study people who fall into a rabbit hole? They start disregarding any contrary evidence, seeing conspiracies everywhere, attaching great significance to minor details...
I’ve seen it with 9/11 truthers and flat earthers. Otherwise normal, functional people who have one area where they’re completely delusional. Well, I think it might be happening to me.
I saw last nights speech and the analysis. It appears fake or altered. I listened carefully- it seems very ambiguous. I watched DC police open the barricades and encourage the crowd forward - it looks like a set-up. There’s an EO in place that gives Trump special powers in an emergency... and mountains of evidence of fuckery that should trigger it, but I see no action.
Maybe I’m losing it. Part of me is still convinced that this isn’t over, that something revolutionary will happen at the very last moment. Part of me sees Linus sitting in the pumpkin patch on Halloween night.
