If Trump can't win a rigged election despite controlling the CIA, FBI, DOJ, the world's most powerful military and after appointing 3 SCOTUS judges... he had far more going against him during a head-to-head with Clinton.
George Webb said Gabbard was recruited in a manner similar to AOC: "they" have talent scouts to groom rising stars and place them in a position of power. He mentioned the name of the person but it wasn't Soros. She bucked her handlers during the DNC convention in 2016 when she didn't support Hillary and they threatened to remove all funding and support. She said to go ahead and do it.
So, the verdict is a mixed bag but she's as legit as Rand Paul in terms of being principled. She voted no on the NDAA, for ex.
I think the goal was to settle it in as much of a low-stakes environment as possible, but there are contingency plans at every step. The stakes increase, as does the artillery. Revealing foreign interference is absolutely the next rung up, followed by full on Insurrection Act.
Trump never, ever advertises his actual position during a battle. Of this I'm sure.
Isn't Jenny Moore ("Taskforce") dead or is this a different one?
All 3 of Trump's picks failed to pick up the case. That's telling, but maybe not in the ways it seems on face.
Of note (for the libs who may use this headline to claim he's desperate for cash): Trump is not the one who owns this home. The owner probably put it up for sale thinking he was ending his first and only term, so now's the time to cash out.
With her cases focusing on fraud and foreign interference, Trump admin needs to start with indictments and investigations. Full stop. Powell can't do this without the executive branch and the military/intel branch's support.
There are two moves left in this game, both of which raise the stakes:
-
Foreign interference: it shifts the game into Trump's exclusively-controlled territory of the military.
-
Arresting Biden for treason.
There's 0 excuse for this battle to be lost when Trump appointed Barr, he controls the CIA and FBI, he nominated 3 SCOTUS judges to give a conservative majority, and he controls the world's most powerful military.
Trump is a strategist. When he said the SCOTUS case was "the big one," I thought it could be a throw. Especially when the foreign interference is still waiting in the wings and hasn't been brought out. The Venezuela info is a red herring, for anyone who knows how the deep state operates and in what locations (ie, Serbia, Ukraine, Pakistan, etc).
Agreed. Repeat:
Until Trump concedes, it's not over.
Fighting on puts us in no worse of a situation than if we give up.
Powell's case got rejected by the GA federal circuit court for lack of standing, and he specifically cited case law that said she wasn't a candidate. Trump intervening in Texas was to ensure the same wouldn't happen.
I'm just gonna say if Trump batted 0-3 on his choice of justices, it demonstrates remarkably poor strategy that is not consistent with Trump's usual acuity.
Deal. Yours is so flaccid right now that I hope you're a grower and not a shower.
Trump appointed 3 justices who were lawyers in the Bush v Gore case on the winning side. All 3 of them have refused to hear the case. I struggle to believe Trump is so inept that he batted 0-3 on choosing non-corrupt justices.
Another thing is Trump calling the Texas SCOTUS case "the big one." He signaled his hand, which he never does. You don't go into war and say, "this is my biggest and last weapon."
Point being, I either severely overestimated Trump, or this is more theater.
Of course it means something. It means Trump will continue pushing and exploring all other options to be the one sworn into office in Jan.
Until he concedes it's not over.
Stolen ballots isn't news since we've known about it since Nov 4. You know what WOULD be news? The FBI/DOJ/SCOTUS doing a damn thing about it.
Trump appointed 3 of them. 3 that did not even agree to hear the case.
Trump appointed Barr, an AG that is refusing to look into voter fraud.
Trump appointed Haspel, a CIA director who was apparently using foreign servers to rig the election.
All of us here voiced significant issues with several people in the Trump admin. Given this, did they betray him and the swamp is deeper than we know? Or are there other factors at play behind the scenes? I have to hope it's the latter. As a conspiracy theorist I'm used to being kept in the dark and trying my best to piece the puzzle together with little hand-holding. Things are happening very quickly. If Trump concedes it's a big black pill. Until that day, though, it's not over.
If Trump hasn't conceded, there are still other things at play.
The military option always is/was the last resort.
And yet they cast this same reasoning out the window when people with stage 4 cancer "died of COVID" because they tested positive. They don't get to have their cake and eat it, too.
I agree. Pieczenik worked closely in psych ops (read: CIA MKULTRA) under Kissinger, who is still behind the coup we see today.
Plus, he started the, "this election was a sting operation because each ballot has trackable watermarks"-story.
No, I do too. I don't think he farted.
It was most likely a shart because he's so full of it.
No fucking way did all three of Trump's appointees stab him in the back. Maybe one Judas; not all three. Either Trump is incompetent and deserves to lose for making such supremely bad choices or there's something more. I'll put the odds at 30-70 on more going on than what we can see.
