‘Release the Kraken,’ a catchphrase for unfounded conspiracy theory, trends on Twitter.

A catchphrase winking at an unfounded voter fraud conspiracy in the presidential election trended on Twitter on Tuesday morning as President Trump’s allies continued to contest the outcome of the election, which has been called for Joseph R. Biden Jr.

The phrase, “Release the Kraken,” appeared on Twitter’s trending topics list on Tuesday, collecting nearly 100,000 tweets, pushed mostly by conservatives and far-right internet personalities.

The conspiracy stems from a Fox Business Network appearance last Friday by Sidney Powell, a lawyer for the former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn. During an interview with the host Lou Dobbs, Ms. Powell claimed that the president’s team had voluminous evidence that it planned to release to overturn election results in key states.

“We are talking about hundreds of thousands of votes,” Ms. Powell said in the interview. “President Trump won this election in a landslide.”

Are there going to be explosive revelations about vote-rigging? Time is short. Ideally, there should be indictments if vote-rigging really happened.

Apparently, according to an earlier thread the Kraken has already been released, and we just missed it.

“Apparently, according to an earlier thread the Kraken has already been released, and we just missed it.“

Hope that’s not true.

Takes them only six words to get to the propaganda.

Lots of criminal activity gets ignored if the criminal has the right connections. Don’t expect any indictments out of this.

You need to read Trump’s 2018 Executive Order on Election fraud. We’re living in a “national emergency” over election fraud according to the Executive Order.

Well, if there are no indictments I doubt any of this is going anywhere.

Davey Alba isn’t really a Davey as in David.

She’s a cookie-cutter diversity & gender gap in technology bore.

A lefty robot and a Jack Dorsey sycophant.

America has a choice:

1-Biden is sworn into office and America begins a rapid decline into socialism and the destruction of the Constitution and the Freedoms therein.

2-Trump is sworn into office and we have to defend America against the chaos of the godless left.

I'll take Door #2 Alex.

That’s fine, but I’m interested in evidence of vote-rigging. Is it still coming?

People on our side are the biggest damn a hoes. We gave the NYT this idea. You will never see another Kracken again if Joe Biden takes over. they will be Kracken your heads and retirement accounts.

Freaking irritating.

Over 70 million people believe Trump was robbed in this election. All the lawsuits serve to keep this idea alive and (I believe)will bode well for the Rep in the midterms.

I believe one of the reasons the down ticket races went so badly for the Dems, especially the ones still counting is the bright light being shined on the fraud by Trumps people is causing fear to manifest itself among the crooks who never considered they would have a chance of getting caught.
