Non Partisan Firm Investigated All Changes of Fraud in the Trump Defeat
An article in Forbes, a Republican a national publishing house, methodically went through the charges of election misconduct and voting machine manipulation. The only reason this is newsworthy is a majority of Republican voters still believe Trump lost was because of election cheating. Forbes reported what every rational person already knew, the election was honest. Trump was soundly beaten.
The Christians who protested Biden's election are making the same mistake with publicly available videos they have made with the Bible since day one. They look at the videos and make assumptions about what they see. The problem with that is others, who know more about the nuts and bolts of counting votes, see the same videos. They are able to make superior interpretations of what they see.
Republicans who have come to accept the election results as honest, as in the Forbes, have on big disadvantage. They have less, or even no ability, to monetize they acceptance of Biden as President. The never-say-die approach of Trump supporters have millions digging deep into their pockets for money even if for a lie. Complain as some of us do about the ability to weaponize a lie, it often works and working now.
Those who accept the election results, Republicans and Democrats, need a villain to raise lots of money. If the election-was-stolen group puts up another candidate who is attractive and skilled in politics moderates of both parties may have a battle ahead. But, if Trump holds his ground there will be a ready-made villain to use by moderates.
The problem for supporters of Trump is his incompetence. Leading up to the election he could not stop himself from bragging about how much money and how many people he was employing to raise a stink about the election results if he lost. By doing that, he showed all his cards.
Democrats and moderate Republicans came to understand Trump was planning not to leave office but use every power held by a President to stay there regardless of the election outcome. Quietly, a small army of attorneys and political operatives began preparing for an attempt to stop election results from being ratified. Court papers were prepared so if Trump filed a complaint a counter argument would be filed within minutes. Electoral College members and state legislators in states around the country were briefed on anticipated attempts by Trump to not follow election results. All of this preparation was done because Trump tipped his hand long before the election.
My guess is when Trump's taxes and court cases unfold confidence in the election outcome will rise.
Trump got defeated by Biden? Where is the evidence of Biden even in office? I haven't seen a consistent visage of Biden since he took office. Always has a different appearance in the various settings. Not going to do the State of Union Address at the appointed constitutional time.....what's up with that? Have they passed one law yet with him signing it? All I see is various men at different times shuffling through a stack of papers of executive orders, some of the men working the pen correctly and some of the men fumbling with the pen. Then when one of the men fly to do a town hall, the FAA tracking designation does not give his plane the designation "AF1" as has always been customary. Just plain weird. Pentagon won't allow his men into the building. Pentagon won't share info with him on F35 program. All after Jan. 20th. Can one of the Biden men do a press conference? I think I have only seen one.
ReplyDeleteCan we get back to something normal soon? Marines not saluting president. Then at inauguration, the Biden men or man get the funeral or foreign dignitary cannon salute, not the presidential 21 gun salute. I can't take any more of these various Biden men, whoever they are. One of the Biden men and his wife got locked out of the Whitehouse when they first arrived on Jan 20. Had that dramatic pause trying to get into the locked front door. The official story is the dummies fired the butler before one of the Biden men arrived, and no one knew how to unlock the door. Slick. But downright creepy.
Add to that, Trump has not been given a TFR from FAA around his residence as is customary for ex-presidents.
I am sure all is well.
Henry--I can understand your frustration. We're used to seeing the President golfing and we haven't seen that yet.

DeleteThat explains it all.....golfing. Maybe the Biden men switch out and take turns golfing. I don't know. Tricky business. Good observation, Jon. No State of the Union Address cause President Trump or one of the Biden men are golfing. Likely.
DeleteHenry--Trumps frequent and long weekends golfing seems to elicit a strong reaction. Makes it a bit hard to criticize President Biden.
DeleteAnd to give the Bidens president a continued trend, his jet yesterday to Texas was again not designated as AF1 by the FAA. However, Ms. Kamela Harris toes the line on her little jaunt and was designated as AF2, while in air. Good for her. She must not be a golfer. The golfing interferes with a LOT.
Delete(State of the Union:)
ReplyDeleteWhile the U.S. Constitution says the president “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient” it does not set a timeline.
(White House usher:)
The chief White House usher was fired 5 hrs before the Bidens arrived. Mr. Harleth was reportedly already in hot water with Trump's team for working with Jill in organizing the move of household belongings because he did it at the time when Trump still refused to concede following the election.
(Why was Biden denied a military plane to bring him to DC?:)
Traditionally, outgoing presidents provide transportation to Washington for the incoming administration. CNN reported on Jan. 19 that the Trump administration did not offer Biden’s team transportation to the capital. His arrival via private plane has nothing to do with the legitimacy of his presidency.
(Why wasn’t Biden rendered a 21 gun salute as costumery for an incoming President? You know, like trump received the same day, January 20th?:)
This claim is false. Biden received a 21-gun salute when he arrived at Arlington National Cemetery after the inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. You can watch a video of that salute here: https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/national-international/presidential-salute-battery-marks-bidens-inauguration-with-21-gun-salute/2500288/
(Why did military turn their backs to Biden when he dove by them, rather than face and salute, which is an absolute requirement for service members?':)
Guard members had turned their backs to protect the president from external threats as he arrived at the Capitol. A National Guard spokesperson confirmed the action was protocol and not an expression of disapproval as critics had widely misconstrued it to be.
(Why doesn’t Biden seem to have the military launch codes near him?
You know, like the ones pictured near Trump in Florida?':)
Trump’s decision not to attend Biden’s inauguration, the first president to do so in more than 150 years, broke traditions in many ways and created logistical abnormalities. One such dilemma was the hand off of the military “football,” which contains the nuclear codes. On Jan. 20, when Trump left Washington for Mar-a-Lago, he was still president and so the football traveled with him. However, it was deactivated at noon, when Biden became president.
A military aide accompanied Trump to Florida, while another military aide handed Biden a second football, which was then activated when Biden took office at noon, according to NBC News.
(Why was the typical song for the arrival of POTUS not played for Biden during his inauguration?':)
The song is traditionally played every time the president arrives at a formal occasion. In accordance with tradition, the song is played twice on Inauguration Day: once for the outgoing president and once for the incoming president.

Question: How many Joe Bidens can live rent free in one brain?
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.", Keats. :)
No, the Bidens presidents got the 3-gun battery 21 gun salute (2 active with 1 backup in case of misfire), 10 second pause between shots, NOT the 4-gun battery (3 active with 1 backup) rapidfire 21 gun salute. I am sorry. I wasn't specific enough. The Bidens presidents got the funeral/foreign dignitary salute. That is truth. To hell with beauty. Sometimes, it can be lipstick on a pig. Feel free to continue chasing the shining one. You tend to be bound to head that direction.
DeleteHere is a proper 21 gun salute for a president:
Deletehttps://youtu.be/eFX_7IR91Vk
Notice the interval and number of guns. Distinctly different from the Bidens presidents' salute. Also, listen to that crowd roar! They can tell when things are done right, not like a funeral!
Henry--So, unless Biden returns to the 21 gun salute he's done as President? Always fun to have you here.
DeleteWell, now that we have gotten beyond your little "fact" checker, and established it WAS a funeral salute, I am not sure what we do with information of Presidents Bidens getting the funeral salute.
DeleteI have heard the unemployment rate for factcheckers is very high now that Trump is out of office. Should have happened long ago with the quality of their work. Truth.
I think Presidents Bidens' term was done before it started. Do we put the flag at half ,mast? What do we do? Even if all is well and Presidents Bidens is in full control of his faculties and administration, it is terribly confusing. I probably should just entertain myself with the wheel and catch the news right before rather than concern myself with technical details of drill and ceremony of an artillery battery.
I have learned one thing in all this. In the future, if I get an opportunity to go to an inauguration, piss on the inauguration. I want to be near those cannons when they go off and watch the 21 gun salute with my own eyes!
Many years ago, I had an opportunity to play in the inaugural parade in a marching band. The money was there to do it with travel, etc. However, some of the democrat parents of the band members could not stand the thought of their little perfect democrat child playing for the monstrosity of a Republican president. They put up such a stink, they killed the presidential invitation. Nothing has changed. Same old. Same old.

Delete“Bidens presidents” Diplopia?
“10 second pause between shots, NOT the 4-gun battery” Confirmation Bias?
Henry, please “Feel free to continue chasing the shining one.” and “To hell with beauty.”:
