I'm sharing this new video with you, and yeah it seems like I'm overloading you with visual stimulation. My apologies.
Let me start off by saying this, I've accepted since about January 6, '21 that it's all over. Biden will be sworn in on January 20, '21. I don't think there is any further path for President Trump to remain in the White House beyond Jan. 20th. I've let this go, I think there is no time left in this ballgame.
For most of this drama for the past month I've been following Doug Tennapel and if you don't know who he is, he created Earthworm Jim. I didn't really watch the cartoon based on that character, but an Earthworm Jim show aired on Kids WB during the 1990s. Me and another young man in high school were casing on each other one day and he called me Earthworm Jim, yeah we were too old for that...
Anyway this video came out today and Tennapel shows clips of Mike Lindell of My Pillow from Minnesota saying himself and Michael Flynn & Sidney Powell is still working. And that Lindell declares that President Trump will remain in office for the next four years. [VIDEO]
I will basically file this under the category of let this go. I'm not sure continuing to follow this is a good idea. I think even Trump realizes it's time to let this go although he has all but conceded to Biden. He knows it's time to make the transition, he knows that he is in his own words a defeated President. I sympathize with the allegations of fraud or voting irregularities. Politically discussing this proved to be damaging especially with important US Senate runoffs in Georgia.
However as stated in another post we should care about honest elections. Even if nothing could be done for Trump now, we can still look at this issue and do better in the future.
What I can't ignore is that Democrats and Republicans are getting to work at this late date to impeach President Trump. The goal is to insure that Trump can never run for President again. Then again it just shows how much of a threat the current President remains politically. He still has a following and I think this sets a dangerous precedent the next person they don't like can magically be enjoined from running for a federal office again.
I also want to throw out there that although Congress has certified Joe Biden as President-elect, they didn't debate and consider all the objections. In addition to Arizona & Pennsylvania which was considered even after the incident on Capitol Hill on the 6th. We also had Nevada, New Mexico, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia were there would've been objections. It would be interesting if what they may have would be through those states.
Well either way, it's time to let this go and move forward. I'm not that happy about it, but I'm looking forward and hoping for the best.
[VIDEO] Well this last ditch hail mary filed by the Texas Attorney General that I've written about on this blog has went up in smoke. The Supreme Court of the U.S. has decided not to take this case and it's not on the merits basically it's on standing. If you want to know more read this piece by the Volokh Conspiracy.
Texas basically has no standing to seek relief of the actions taken by Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as far as their selection of presidential electors and the Volokh Conspiracy even admitted that Attorney General Paxton has some weak arguments.
Well in my mind, I just decided that was the ballgame. What else could be done at this point, though according to the above 40 minute video from Newsmax there are other cases pending in those same states. It's still not over, but as I've been saying the clock is beginning to tick.
Electors are expected to vote formally on December 14th - hey my birthday. And then the US Congress will ultimately certify the results of the electoral college on January 6, 2021. Much weirder things could happen such as faithless electors, a Congressional dispute over the election or even more a longshot perhaps another court ruling.
I think Trump's best bet in reversing the results is somehow getting the US House of Representatives involved and getting a contingent election. Of course that will only happen if somehow Biden fails to win those 270 electoral votes he needs to clinch the presidency. If TX vs. PA had went forward that was likely a possibility as a result.
Either way what I'm seeing on Twitter or Instapundit comments tonight is a tad disheartening. People are talking about taking up arms, and people are talking about the death of the American Republic. Whether or not Trump wins or loses if we don't want the vision of the "progressive liberal" Democrat Party we should do what any American should do and that's continue to fight.
We don't want socialism or defunding the police or just general lawlessness because authorities won't uphold the US Constitution we must continue to fight. Fighting means many things I know, however, if you want to run for office get started. If you want to start a campaign of civil disobedience get started. And if you want to use the tools of the internet - and depending upon your platform that can be an uphill battle especially talking about social media - get started and be that voice in the wilderness.
As I've said, I don't relish a Biden/Harris administration. If it comes to pass four years will be here before we know it!
