IT’S OFFICIAL: “President Trump Will Not Be Conceding”
Populist Press and Twitter ^ | 20 Dec 20 | Dan Scavino

Posted on 12/20/2020 11:32:58 AM PST by SkyPilot

Dan Scavino, The White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications and Director of Social Media posted a series of tweets late last night that many took as a ominous sign of what’s coming, but then he also made a Facebook post stating “President Trump Will Not Be Conceding”.

This is an official statement from the White House official. I think we all knew this already, however, it’s official now.

He’d better not.
You don’t concede to a thief who just burglarized your house and made away with your property.

At a bare minimum, it means the communists will be denied the “legitimacy” they want. And make no mistake, they DO want it and it DOES matter to them. Trump conceding would kill the widespread belief that the election was stolen.
They would love to say “even your own leader doesn’t believe that anymore”.

It could mean more, but at a minimum, it means that.

You're correct. I take this as another brick in the wall.

Perhaps something is brewing.

It's not on his twitter page. Article says he posted it to Facebook.

My opinion is that if Lin Wood is to believed, and they do have solid evidence that Supreme Court Justices Breyer and Roberts spoke over the phone to collude to "F_ck" President Trump, they need to release that to the public - ASAP.

To concede or not is irrelevant from a legal process point of view. There are certain steps that are required a part of the process of the electoral college. Those steps will be conducted regardless of the Presidents statements.

HOWEVER

To not concede is also important as some of those steps require actions by 3rd parties. By not conceding, the President is asserting that he wants to continue the fight and signals to those 3rd parties, that actions taken on his behalf are welcome.

Specifically, a Senator and a Representative is required to contest the vote in writing. I believe this signals, along with the Jan 6th rally in DC, that there is still a fight and that the action or inaction of Congress will be recorded for history. Further, that those actions will weigh heavily in the next election. Some have already chosen to publicly support fraud. They will be remembered.

Not so fast. There is a burgeoning Move Along contingent of Republican loyalists who already have their eye on the House in 2022 and the presidency in 2024, election fraud be damned!

President Trump should never concede.

If Trump did concede before January 6th, Congress would do an immediate vote with no discussion of the Electoral Votes.

There’s no legal requirement for him to concede, even after Jan. 20.

I believe it also means that even after the inauguration of Biden (God forbid) if a special counsel makes the case of fraud, President Trump is back in.

Stacy Abrams never conceded her election loss in Georgia, but that’s ok with the liberals.

So then, if not conceding an election is ok, then why are some liberals frustrated that Trump has not or will not concede this election?

Fake vote counts, fake election, nothing but lies from news sources who are now nothing but enemies of USConstitution and We-The-People.

Fight for lawful election, now, or perish. Every legal vote counted.

Fight for USConstitution or perish.

Fight the great delusion pushing medical tyranny or perish.

Stacy Abrams STILL has not conceded the race for governor of GA. I wish she would have won.

Trump WILL BE sworn in as president again on Jan 20,2021. Why in the world would he concede?

The best way not to win the house in 2022 is to concede.
Best way to pump up the base and get a massive Republican turn out in 2022 is to never concede.
