Yeah, you can tell she's had it up to HERE with this whole gig. I like that she just noped out without taking their frantic panicked attempts-to-score-internet-points questions.

For starters, you can't concede via Tweet. There would have to be an official statement.

I also wonder what president Trump was expecting to happen (or planning to do) today. He certainly made it sound as if he had something up his sleeve. My guess is that he expected Pence to do whatever legal move was required to throw out the elector votes and fix it so that he could get another term. He clearly wasn't expecting Pence to turn on him.

I'd be highly interested to know what changed for Mike Pence from three days ago; was he merely lying to us throughout this whole process? For all four years? I feel like a husband finding out his wife has had an affair. How long has this been going on?

It seems clear to me that we've been lied to by everyone now.

Thank you. So let's see if I've got this right:

1. You can't sue in state court to address voting irregularities until after the election is certified. (At that point, you would presumably need to address the issue via impeachment, etc.)

2. You also can't sue in state court to address voting irregularities after the election is over because it's too late to undo the crimes you're alleging.

3. You also can't sue in state court to address voting irregularities unless the judge can demand an unreasonable burden of proof, under the principle of "innocent until proven guilty unless you aren't a democrat".

4. You can sue in state court to address voting irregularities, but you can't win unless you can prove "widespread" voting fraud which everyone knows doesn't exist (unless Trump won in which case Russia did it.)

Who let Joseph Heller write our state election laws?

So it would seem that it is in fact impossible to address voting irregularities in the state courts, then; the judge will simply disallow any case to be heard. Giuliani, Wood and Powell were all incompetent and didn't know that, and didn't try anything different at any point once the "standing" issue proved to be devastating. And all those wonderful judges that we were so happy were being appointed did nothing to help.

This doesn't make sense to me.

Yes, when I heard that the 25th was in play, my thought was "They're trying to get him out before he can declassify anything else>'

One positive thing - I guess - about all of this is that many of us will no longer be fooled by people who claim to have evidence but don't actually release it. (See, also: "It's happening", "Trust the plan", and "He's our guy".)

I think it will be apparent that you are correct if Trump concedes today (or, anyway, before Jan. 20.)

It's pretty funny (at least, to me); nobody has ever cared about Biden's opinion. He's been a stupid catspaw/mouthpiece for his leftist/corporate masters his whole career. Even his friends think he's a mediocre idiot.

Supposedly Pence's wife was very much against his accepting the VP nomination slot to begin with, so I imagine he's facing a seriously pissed-off wife at home (or will be when she finishes freaking out in panic.) I can't imagine that he can have a political career now, so I hope he enjoys his new job in the private sector in some Soros-controlled corporation.

Came here also to see if there was news regarding Mr. Crowder. It appeared that he might have simply bailed on his last two videos, which became a best-of and something starring his lawyer instead. Prayers for him and his family!

Threadreader, for those who'd rather not visit Twitter:

The tweet thread has some (apparently) useful replies and follow-ups that might be of interest.

I would say don't confuse the battle with the war. A successful meme campaign helps capture what we used to call "hearts and minds"...the only weapons effective against a cheating campaign. The real war is for the culture, and that's a long war indeed.

It has occurred to me that the events of the Trump presidency have impressed Barron, and may lead him toward a career as a conservative leader that will make Rand Paul or Ted Cruz look like Sheila Jackson Lee.

I must say, Texas democrats are even bigger idiots than democrats from other, lesser states.

Is that the case now? That seems unlikely to be a permanent policy, to me.

I think Trump's national appeal and support in 2016 absolutely caught them off guard; what cheating mechanisms they had in place were simply not powerful enough - or activated soon enough - to make up the difference, as you say. (As Q said repeatedly: they never thought she would lose.)
The fact that Nancy Pelosi attempted to mandate mail-in ballots - quite frankly none of the business of her office - tells me that the swamp conspired either to inflict COVID or merely to take advantage of it in order to cram as many mail-in ballots into the system as possible. Once again, Trump saw it coming and did his best to alert his allies, but my feeling - as I've said here before - is that there were simply too many traitors in too many positions of power, Federal, state, county, city - to overcome in time.

I've been of the opinion ever since they were introduced that electronic voting machines were developed by swampers for the express purpose of fixing elections, and I've certainly seen no evidence since then that I'm incorrect. As prone to fraud as paper ballots are (as we saw this year in particular with the mail-in ballots) electronic voting is a thousand times more so.

San Francisco: "Don't leave any valuables in your car, they will be stolen."

Minneapolis: "If you are mugged, surrender your valuables quietly and submit to your attacker."

I'm thinking there's a trend emerging here...

"Word salad" is a thing that happens to elderly dementia patients. It's what's happening when Joe suddenly "makes up a word" ("Triumphfazool!") It's progressive, in that it gets worse and worse and eventually the person just makes vague word-sounds instead of being able to talk.

I love how he just blurts out what's really going on. "We've got the greatest voter fraud organization". Almost as entertaining as his word-salad episodes.

The appeal of a conservative alternative to the GOP is growing and will likely continue to grow; there's a reason for the movement started by Ross Perot, the libertarians and even the Tea Party. The swamp's had the nickname "the uniparty" for quite a while, and for good reason.

At this point, though, I'm kind of agreeing with Scott Adams' assertion that Trump should, once he leaves public office, invest heavily in conservative news media and social media companies, perhaps even buying some outright and combining them under a Trump brand. The media has a tremendous amount of power, and right now that power is flowing straight from overseas; we need a truly America-first media force.

Well, sure. He could write "I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever concede!" and they'd print "TRUMP SAYS: "I...CONCEDE!"

You're probably right; in addition to being crooks, they're terrible party poopers.

One thing I've noticed about TDS is that it is particularly prevalent among people with histories of terrible physical and psychological damage. It seems to germinate from (what I'm imagining to be) feelings of helplessness, victimhood and, especially, wounded vanity.
