Greg Kelly of NewsMax Tweets: Something BIG is brewing… and Mile Pence is on Board

If they had lots of evidence of fraud, virtually every disputed state has a procedure for bringing those claims in court, but the Trump campaign did not really purse any state law election challenges other than one in Michigan. And even there, they did not file a quo warranto action after the Michigan electors were certified even though the courts spelled out the procedure for them.

The strategy, from what I could see, was to litigate in federal court on the issues of 1) elections not conducted according to statute, and 2) violations of the Equal Protection Clause in line with Bush v. Gore. I think they were trying to stay away from state courts to avoid getting a corrupt judge and the res adjudicata affect of that. (In WI, the state and federal cases argued different points.) As Prof. Dershowitz has noted, Trump should win PA and WI at SCOTUS, if the case is heard in time. CJ Roberts has scheduled things to obstruct a meaningful adjudication at SCOTUS. That's not the legal team's fault.

The backup plan is to get the state legislatures involved. That still could happen before Jan. 6th as those legislatures start new terms now with new members. They were very close in Arizona. Guiliani said two votes. GA should be ready to decertify after the hearings. Monday could be interesting.

You keep assuming you know what Pence is thinking, or what Pence wants.

You’re speaking as if you know what’s in Mike Pence’s mind.

You’re either amazingly gifted at mind reading or you really don’t know and want to justify whatever conspiracy your following.

Being seen as installing the President is not good for anyone in the administration. Including the President.

I’m sure the private meetings the Vice President and President have and are having you can let us know what’s going on in those too.

Pence likes ketchup on his eggs.

Pence isn’t concerned about putting down the toilet seat.

You see, Pence likes to tie his right shoe first.

Pence is deep state because it’s obvious.

Madness.......

[David Chase]

It’s real. All over conservative news media and staff has tweeted too.

Kilometer Pence is 60% on board. [That's 6*10^1 %].

Meter Pence = [Kilometer /1000] Pence is 6*10^-2 % on board.

Centimeter Pence = [Meter / 100] Pence is 6 * 10^-4 % on board.

Millimeter Pence = [Meter / 1000] Pence is 6*10^-5 % on board.

Femtometer Pence = [Meter / 10^15] Pence is 6*10^-17 % on board.

Planck_wavelength Pence = [1.616229 * 10^-34 cm] Pence comprises the fundamental "fabric" of the board itself, but you can't see him.

Comeup Pence slid off-board, but PJDT shamed him sufficiently to flip back on board.

Dis Pence disgruntedly hands out boarding passes to eager boarders like a robot kiosk.

Ex Pence had to pay a heavy price to get back on board.

Quantum Pence is both on- & off-board simultaneously, and won't land in a stable state until he's challenged.

Re Pence bitterly regretted his foolish decision to slide off-board, has been given an offer he can't refuse, and is back on board.

Short Pence is young; not quite tall enough yet to get on board.

Suss Pence has decided firmly whether he's on board or not, but will tease you with cryptic comms until the final moment of revelation.

amen, man doesn’t know anything anyway

and a goodbye party

Over the years many conversations were held with conservatives from Indiana, many in this forum, some here recently in the last week.

The consensus is Pence is conservative but not a strong one. He caves a little too often to political correctness. He’s not presidential material in terms of leadership.

Pence was the one that caved on Gen Flynn and pushed the President to fire him. The President came to regret this firing calling Gen Flynn a hero which he is.

Pence and his incompetent chief of staff didn’t bother to look into the facts behind the Flynn case. They were equivocal in front of the corrupt media and ran for cover.

I’ve taken what conservatives in Indiana have said and formed the opinion that Pence is not an evil corrupt politician. He’s just not a fighter unless there’s already so much leverage and momentum going in the direction he chooses to pursue, that it’s not much of a fight for him. He goes with the flow, he goes through the motions.

I’ll say again what others say too, Pence is not the fighter or leader that Trump is. He’s a figurehead, a place holder. He’s perfect as VP, he’ll never be President.

As soon as he found himself in a controversial situation of historical importance with a contested election and a lawsuit brought by a proven strong conservative and strict constitutionalist, he did to former Judge and now Congressman Gohmert what he did to Gen Flynn, threw him under the bus.

To VP Pence, thank you for being a nice man, an apparently good Christian, nice family, apparent conservative, thank you for appearing loyal to our President. Insofar as political leadership, no thank you.

[GreyFriar]

All that can make one pensive.

[trebb]

I’m ever hopeful but will wait until I hear an actual “BOOM!” before sitting up.

[Karoo]

I’ve always thought Trump learned a lot from the politicians he donated to.......like Schumer! and others around the country.

For instance he and politician would go out to eat (NYC or DC), and politician would tell him secrets hoping for lg donation.

I bet he learned a LOT. I think that is why they had such a fit when he DID win the election. They thought: OMG, what do we do now? The rest is history

[MIA_eccl1212]

Exactly.

[riri]

If something big is truly brewing for this week, this means we are in a very perilous position. Everyone should remain vigilant, have some food, water, candles, etc.

I put nothing past these people to "stop what is coming" if indeed anything. (have my doubts)

[usconservative]

Unless I hear it with my own two ears or see it with my own two eyes, I don’t believe anything anymore.

[MIA_eccl1212]

Yes and this is classic.

[David Chase]

Believe it or not.......some Q Nuts are claiming that’s not Pence in the picture.

Trump is fully aware of pictures being taken in the Oval Office and it’s obvious some are staged for our benefit. Scavino looks like he enjoys it too.

But that doesn’t stop the conspiracy kooks from believing what they do, even with photo proof! As if Trump is out to get Trump.......

[bagster]

Believe it or not.......some Q Nuts are claiming that’s not Pence in the picture.

Funny. I haven't seen that one, new guy.

Sure you ain't making up stuff...again?

[Zhang Fei]

[Trump has at least some good lawyers around him, so I have to believe this is intentional. They’re putting on a show, and the only question in my mind is whether the audience is Trump’s supporters or Trump himself.]

---

That’s my take on it as well. I think Trump wants to take it right up to the line without going over. If he wants to step over it, I gotta wonder how many will follow him. His problem is that while he engenders loyalty in people who don’t deal with him on a day-to-day basis - the people he does deal with tend to want to stab him in the back. Whereas people like Franco and Pinochet - I expect they inspired intense personal loyalty among their immediate followers. (How else would they have followed Franco’s/Pinochet’s orders to carry out acts at odds with the established governments of the time - with all the personal risks that entailed?) That’s something you need if you want to step over the line.

You’ve got someone like John Bolton who has served in multiple GOP administrations that were far less hawkish than him. Not a critical peep out of Bolton about those administrations. HR McMaster is a Republican who did some work for both parties, and was never as vociferous in his criticism of either Democrat or Republican administrations. Until Trump.

Basically, Trump just doesn’t play well with his subordinates. That abrasive Twitter persona, on steroids, is likely the face of his relationship with his direct reports. And that’s a problem if he’s doing what I think he’s doing. You need the people around you to follow your orders, and to do things that were familiar to people with names like Franco and Pinochet. How does that happen when your direct reports hate your guts?
