This is where i disagree with Rudy - do not argue this was coordinated - you will never find the proof of that, and don't argue what you cannot prove. I would argue that this is long standing election fraud with mail in ballots that these cities have been doing for decades, only this year the numbers of mail in ballots were amplified greatly, allowing the fraud to be massively effective.
edit: to clarify i am speaking specifically of his public facing comments, not his court strategy - if he has kill shot proof of conspiracy then by all means that should be the primary course but until that evidence is ready for public consumption i think what we saw today was very compelling and hard to brush off.
i think we pursue the dominion Sidney Powell angle in court - but the public message should be to bombard the public with the testimony of poll watchers describing insane disregard for procedure and oversight COUPLED with the statistical analysis pointing to improbabilities and red flags. If you can't investigate those improbabilities because of disregard for procedure and destruction of ballot provenance, then the election cannot be certified.
what we are seeing here is much more compelling than the single actor/coordinated conspiracy angle. What we are hearing is witness testimony to the historic MO of elections in democratic cities. What changed this year was that mail in ballots (where most of the shenanigans take place) went from 5% of the vote to 40% of the vote. It is much easier to convince people that this was not the result of coordinated malfeasance, but rather the amplified effects of long standing sloppy, unsecured, practices that allow for micro instances of fraud and mistakes. The MO did not change this election, it was simply amplified, and what was previously ignored (for far too long) now had the opportunity to change the outcome. This argument is the winning strategy.
"trust the experts" is an assertion that science is fixed - that a conclusion is formed and never revisited. This is the opposite of science. Imagine if Galileo trusted the experts. Every major transformative leap in understanding came from someone challenging the experts, challenging the consensus.
her house her rules - politely decline the invite - when your fiancé asks you to reconsider, at least bank some credits with him. In 20 years you can be like "remember that time I went to your grandma's during covid? - Yeah now I want this flying car with the internal combustion engine package in MAGA red."
thanksgiving was always my mom's holiday - almost every year for the last 40 years we have had thanksgiving at my parents' house - i guess it is fitting that they sold the house a few weeks ago. But yeah, it is going to be weird to not have my cousins and everyone not here. Even weirder is going to be Christmas Eve which we have always had at my aunt's house. I think it is awesome that these traditions have survived my steady march into and through adulthood and that my kids celebrate with the same family members I did as a kid. This year definitely sucks. Also, as a NY based family it is nice to see my cousins who are pretty much all based - its the only time a year when we get together - will have to fight extra hard to make sure this year doesn't end that chapter.
Yeah it would because they would have no idea what they are disposing - it’s like saying UPS are a bunch of drug runners because people ship drugs through the mail. No one would use them if they snooped to make sure.
No. Honestly I think they are hoping she has damning shit but that she has yet to show them anything slam dunk. So in order to keep their internal focus they are distancing themselves. They want to go to SCOTUS with laser focus on PA and the hundreds of thousands of invalid ballots. They want to focus on signature audits in GA and MI. And they want to see if they can challenge 200k WI ballots on similar grounds. Rudy said it himself, the crux of their argument is Dems changing long standing rules on the eve of an election. If Sidney can prove a global conspiracy on her free time that would be bonus, but they internally have to go with what they know they can prove. And that is all the Dem city bullshit.
Where is the proof? I know it is plausible and the possibility exists, and that should be enough to never let an election run this way again. But there needs to be hit you over the head, caught with hand in the cookie jar, irrefutable evidence. Powell and Wood are talking a huge game. If they bring it, and it’s not just probable/circumstantial but like Kato Kalen in the bushes with a camcorder shit, I’ll grab my musket and go to work, but anything short of that, we have to change the system through advocacy and exposing enough truth to get universal outrage.
6 years ago I emailed the board of elections to confirm I was on the voter rolls and my polling location. They emailed me back and confirmed I was all set. I could not wait to vote against De Blasio. I waited on line for an hour to vote and when I got to the check in, they didn’t have my name on the roll sheet. I had to fill out a provisional ballot. In 2016 I waited on a line stretching around a city block and for over 2 hours. What could I have done differently?
Because Trump doesn’t have concrete smoking gun evidence on Dominion. He has the anomalies we all see, and an audit might show enough illegal votes to flip it. But he doesn’t have one single indisputable smoking gun. I think the stars and the moon aligned for Dems with COVID and gave them enough cover to pull this off by inflating the numbers of mail in ballots. These are ballots they have always fucked with only now with 100x the impact.
Without a full audit Trump will not have the full conviction to “know” it was stolen from him, not just highly suspect it AND be able to convince 70% of the nation. That is what he would need to pull that lever. It would need to be so concrete that your mother in law, Uber driver, and local librarian recognize it.
My hope is Sidney Powell and Lin Wood can put up and provide us the goods. If that doesn’t happen then we are relying on pedantic legal arguments and the whims and convictions of judges.
Guys, let’s be rational here. If he loses at SCOTUS and the state legislatures certify the election and send the electors, it is over. Trump will spend 4 years advocating for election reform and if he so chooses will run again or be the GOP king maker. The Trump train will go on if we remain unified.
I think and hope Trump has enough legal standing to realistically take PA. If we can get a signature audit anywhere it will prove the mail in ballot fraud and open the door everywhere.
But if he can’t prove the fraud to a court that only needs a preponderance of the evidence, he is out of options. I don’t want to go to war with my neighbors. I’d rather use that energy to demand voter security standards and to expose and undermine Biden 10X what they put Trump through. Then brush ourselves off and destroy these motherfuckers in 22 and 24.
yes, style over substance, it's been the hallmark of presidents for the last 60 years, save for Trump. So i agree.
