Can’t you explain? Most of us can’t watch YouTube at work.

He’s not doing anything today, as predicted. And its OK, there is a plan.

Why by Dec 23rd? That time is suspicious.

I’m obviously missing something, but for some reason, I only remember Dec. 23 being in connection with Barr being gone. Can some kind-hearted Freeper refresh my memory re how Dec. 23 relates to VP Pence?

“Sources in the Trump administration confirmed to National File that President Donald Trump’s most vocal advocates within the White House have determined that both U.S. Code and the Constitution contain language that requires Vice President Mike Pence to reject unlawful Electoral College certificates, but Pence must act by no later than Wednesday, December 23.”

I found that on a tweet. Also, there was a person who said if he was to do that, it would probably be after the markets closed for the day. I don’t know if that is a big deal or not.

Here is what is being referred to:

https://nationalfile.com/exclusive-white-house-memo-details-how-pence-card-can-save-trumps-presidency-on-dec-23/

Probably just another false hope. Dec 23 is over soon, so not long to wait on this one.

Is Pence a Patriot in word but a Politician in deed?

I think so, but here, I hope I’m wrong.

He is talking about the National File article which was based on an Axios article.

I have no idea why NF reported this and now it is getting picked up by others with no mention of Axios source.

There is no job description for the VP.

You may be correct, but I am not ready to make a certain judgment about inaction at this time. The notice/letter he will send is to the state’s SOS. There is no reason that he would publicly disclose his communication. There are times to give others the benefit of any doubt. I hope he doesn’t fail to notify, but as I wrote above, I will not judge him until I have empirical evidence of his devaluation. Statements he made at Turning Point USA yesterday lead me to believe it has been done without us knowing. We’ll see.

Trump won and I think he’ll win officially as well.

However, I hope Pence is put on the spot here so that his true colors come out. If he’s a Patriot in form but a Politician in substance, which I think he is, then Trump and everyone else will see it, Pence gets the boot, and the REAL 2024 successor (if not Trump himself) is chosen who will continue to carry the fight to the Delusional Lying Left for the restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic.

They are slow walking the signature verification in Georgia. They don’t want results to get out prior to January 6th. They know what they are trying so hard to hide. Terrible people! @BrianKempGA— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2020

I think the significance of today (Dec 23) with regard to actions that needed to be taken by Pence is overstated. January 6th is the actual day the EC votes are counted and Trump has asked us to be in Washington DC with him on that day.

If there is going to be a BOOM, that is when it is likely to happen. I'm not a constitutional scholar but I'm assuming the Trump folks know what they are doing.

Anyone doubting that Trump has a plan to secure his rightful re-election, I recommend you watch the two speeches he put out last night (available in the BREAKING NEWS sidebar).

One speech was a masterful tear-down of the bogus COVID relief act he plans to veto. In the other speech, Trump laid out in detail the blatant election fraud that the Democrats perpetrated and reiterated his constitutional duty to the people to ensure a fair election.

Those are not the actions of a President who has meekly accepted his fate and who plans to sneak out of Washington on Jan 20th. I assure you, that is NOT happening.

Everybody have a nice Christmas with family and let Trump play out his plan. I will be in Washington DC on Jan 6 and hope to meet other Freepers there as well.

The poster and speaker in the video is “TenNapel”. In a recent posting, he titled his video “Georgia moves to DECERTIFY Election Results!”. Of course, it turns out that was quite misleading as was much of the content of the video (eg: he said that the Georgia Senate had issued a report recommending decertification. Not so. The Georgia Senate STUDY SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE STANDING SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE released a report on December 17. While it may have made recommendations, they don’t count as a “move to DECERTIFY” and they are not Georgia or the Georgia Senate moving either.

I haven’t seen his material before but if that is any indication, I would take his posts with a substantial grain of salt. He may have good intentions but fluffing up stories (BOMBSHELL!!!!) with inaccurate headlines and claims doesn’t help anyone who is seriously trying to understand this complicated situation. Meanwhile, pray for Donald Trump and our ultimate victory over lies and cheating.

This is pure bullshit.

VP Pence presides over the Senate proceedings, but clearly that doesn’t mean he gets to decide the election by himself!

The only people who can “stop the steal” are the state legislatures in the contested states. If a majority of them believe the election results do not reflect the true winner, they must decertify the Biden/Harris electors for their respective states - and they have the sole authority to do this.

Not the AG.
Not the Governor.
Not the Vice President.
Not the Supreme Court.

The state legislatures can do this in one of two ways:

1) Decertify the Biden electors for their respective states and send no electors to the US Senate by January 6th. If doing so results in neither candidate having the required 270, the decision goes to the US House of Representatives, where Republicans control a majority of state delegations.

2) Decertify the Biden electors and certify the alternate slate of Trump electors for their respective states by January 5th, giving President Trump the required 270. In this case, VP Pence can have the honor of reading the results and announcing President Trump as the winner.

I believe the only way the Supreme Court will get involved will be to resolve a Constitutional dispute. For example, let’s say the state Legislature of PA votes to decertify the Biden electors and certify the state’s Trump electors instead.

But let’s say the Governor, the AG, and the Democrat minority in PA joined together and refuse to accept the decertification of Biden electors and the certification of the Trump electors.

I believe this is where the SCOTUS would have to rule on the Constitutionality of the certification - and they would have to decide in favor of the state Legislature. President Trump wins.

It is entirely up to the state legislatures in the contested states of PA(20), MI(16), GA(16), AZ(11) and WI(10). Biden has claimed 306 electors - 36 more than needed to win - but 73 are contested.

Any three of these five states will do the trick.
