You’re absolutely right about that.

I’m praying that I’m on the right side of that big “IF”.

Here’s an interesting tweet that speaks to timing:

From my discussions with Democrats that are good people, I can see we still need 1 to 3 more weeks of truth bombs before they will consider Trump is on their side. It is what it is. You only get one shot. Do not miss your chance. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.


me again: Trump holds the trump cards. He’s not going to throw them away to win a trick. He’s going to hold them until the correct time to win the whole shebang. Patience.

I’ve been waiting for Trump’s entire Presidency for the good guys to win. Not merely R vs. D. Not even R vs. D+RINOs. I’m waiting for good to triumph over evil. That’s not hyperbole.

Whatever happens, I believe that Trump will fight with every fiber of his being for what is right. I do not believe that he is fighting to stay in power, to make himself famous, or for any small reason. I believe he is fighting for the future of this country, to take down the Deep State, and for good to win over evil.

I stand with Trump in a much greater fight than a contested election. But I’m inclined to believe that the election needs to be won in order to win the big fight. (I’ve been wrong before. I thought we needed to win the House in 2018. We didn’t. Allowing the House to be stolen by the Dems/DS was a strategic move. It exposed a lot of fraud and set us up on the path we are now on.)

“If Trump is not sworn-in for his second term in January, we will never have a non-Derp State Stalinazi allowed to win the White House again...”


And we will be told that Biden’s becoming president was a great victory for democratic ideals and hardships we will endure will actually improvements in our lives. “Life is better now with 8 hours a day of electricity. We spend more time outdoors!” We will be constantly lied to, but like thinking Soviet citizens, we will know we’re being lied to.

There is an attempt to steal the election despite press denial. Joe Biden isn’t “President-Elect” despite the press’s instance that he is. Half of the nation is fully aware of this. So is President Trump. I hope he stands firm.

“How would it be different in 2024 when elections are rigged?”

Exactly!

haha

might it be possible, i wonder, if a third shift could be initiated to permit construction acceleration and get another 50-100 miles before inauguration.

That’s what I was thinking. Biden and company will tear down the wall.

************

Naw. He will spend that money on direct programs, etc to the
democrat voters....

Opening up the wall doesn’t benefit his supporters directly.

“Some kind of barrier”=====

2 strands of wobbly barbed wire that is over 50 years old.

The constant twisting of words by the Liberals is hard to swallow.

It is generally hard to jigger the contracts much after award. It changes the costs. There is some limited potential, to eke out just a few more miles - but it seems unlikely.

They will likely drive on at their aggressive contracted rate, until such time as their Contracting Officer tells them to stop work - probably some time after inauguration Day, even if Biden should take office, and order it the same day. The definition of “immediate” can vary considerably within Government bureaucracies, where they will have competing requirements (like notification timelines) they must comply with.

If there are 450 miles at the end of the year, they will rack up more in January. Probably be closer to 500 than 450 on Inauguration Day.

The blind and misled Plugs the Pedo supporters. For the true believers in their Satanic cause, I have no sympathy. For the genuinely ignorant and brainwashed, may the scales fall from their eyes.

hard ... but perhaps not impossible ... and the there is still a lot of time between now and january 20.

so i still wonder (ok justifiably or otherwise) if the border wall progress rate could be used as a canary of trump’s chances of overturning the swing state election results in his favor...
