Whatever Happened to Trump Being Restored to the White House This Year?
Townhall.com ^ | November 15, 2021 | Michael Brown

Posted on 11/15/2021 4:02:23 AM PST by Kaslin

The purpose of this article is not to mock, ridicule, or insult. Nor am I here to gloat or say, “I told you so.” Instead, I want to make a simple, two-fold appeal: First, can we be realistic and recognize that Trump will not be restored to the White House by some kind of military act or miraculous event (other than simply running again in 2024)? Second, can we be mature enough to acknowledge our errors, learn from our mistakes, and move on? In short, can we make this a teachable moment?

When I announced on the radio on January 6th that Trump would not be returning to the White House (meaning, without being reelected in the future), the response from many was outrage. I was a traitor. I had given up the cause. I was like one of the ten Israelite spies who brought back an evil report (in contrast with Joshua and Caleb, who believed in God's report). I was a Never Trumper. I was bought out by the Deep State. I was a Communist infiltrator.

You get the drift.

The truth be told, as a Trump voter in 2016 and 2020, I was privately hoping that the prophecies of his restoration to the White House were true and that the courts would find massive voter fraud, overturning the elections.

But at a prayer retreat in Texas in early December, it became totally clear to me that this would not happen. I simply knew that I knew that this was the case, and I knew Joe Biden would be inaugurated on January 20th.

After that, I was simply waiting for the right moment on my radio show to share this publicly, wanting to extend a safety net to the many whose faith would be shattered when Biden, rather than Trump, was installed as president.

Unfortunately, even after January 20th, many remained in denial.

Some set new dates (after guaranteeing that Biden would never serve as our president). "You watch and see what will happen in March. Make that April. Actually, August. I mean September."

Others concocted convoluted, hyper-spiritual theories, allegedly received by divine revelation. "Actually, Trump is our president, enthroned by God in heaven. Biden has no real presidential authority."

Still, others said, "The prophets were right and Trump did win the election. That's why we need to continue to fight for him to be reinstated. We can never accept the steal, and Biden will never be our president."

The fact is that, whether there was fraud or not, Joe Biden is our president, as recognized by our Congress and courts.

As for Trump, he is not our president, and he is not going to be miraculously restored to the White House any time soon. (Again, this is apart from him potentially running in 2024.)

Can we finally admit that this is the case and move on? Or will we be setting dates for the military to remove Biden in 2022 (or 2023), in keeping with yet another conspiratorial fantasy? I certainly hope we will not.

All of us can mistakes. All of us can be wrong about our prognostications. All of us can misjudge a situation. And all of us can have faulty "sources" that, in the end, mislead us rather than inform us. And sometimes, to be brutally honest, we just get conned.

The problem is when we can't admit that and learn from our mistakes. The problem is when, as leaders in particular, we cannot acknowledge that our errors have led others into error. The problem is when we blameshift or even misdirect, being more concerned with rallying our base rather than admitting our guilt.

In this regard, a typical tactic would be to attack the messenger, in this case, accusing me of being weak. Or a RINO (I'm actually a registered Independent who votes Republican, based on conservative principles rather than party affiliation). Or approving of abortion (as if recognizing Biden as president makes me guilty of shedding innocent blood). Or lacking in faith. Or being unspiritual. Or whatever.

But that's the least of my concerns. In fact, it is not my concern at all, since I'm not writing this to gain popularity or support.

To the contrary, as the risk of alienating some readers, my only concern is that those who were deceived or misled or misinformed would come to grips with reality, learn from their mistakes, and come out as better men and women for it. As for those leaders who misled or misinformed others, now would be a good time to say, "It looks like I was wrong, and I apologize for speaking falsely and getting your hopes up for nothing. I intend to learn from this and not repeat such errors."

And how will the Lord respond? As the Word says, He opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

So, where the shoe fits, get low and receive grace. God also lifts up the humble.

Lindell has organized at least 20 State AGs and is working towards a total of 38 to bring action under Articles II and IV of the Constitution directly to the US Supreme Court. Lindell’s lawyers will file their lawsuit at 9:30 am on November 23.

Lindell is putting his own money risking his own life and all that he’s ever worked for to save this country.

 

Yet Lindell has sided with Giulianni, The Kracken Woman and the Q crowd in unequivocally stating Trump would be in office by August. Ok, September.

I believe Pillow Man has good intentions. But you cannot look away at what he's said.

Article II establishes the office and powers of the President and Vice President and the Electoral College. It also has the impeachment provisions.

Article IV defines the relationships of the states to each other and to the Federal government.

You cannot “bring action under Articles II and IV of the Constitution” to SCOTUS or any other court. Lindell has not organized 20 AG’s to do so.

I believe he’s having some fun with his BS’ing or he’s hallucinating.

You can always “fix” the GOP by voting good qualified conservatives in the primaries.


No, you can’t. Historically 90%+ of incumbents are reelected. Regardless, the GOP as an institution is corrupt at its core. How do you “primary” hundreds of MAGA hating RNC apparatchiks? The GOP will always prefer Marxism to MAGA because it pays better.

We tried with Trump and the GOP colluded with Dems to disenfranchise us all. We must be good students and learn from this history.

7 states have transmitted dual slates of electors to the President of the Senate

Complete, 100% falsehood.

It does not matter how many times it is repeated, it remains untrue.

Actually there is a much simpler explanation. Hostage is a Qtard.

Funny you bring it up.

I had a friend who died at 101 and 5 months in 2011.

She had regaled us with tales of being forced to sequester in the top floor of their home in Payson, Utah .

She watched wagons pull the dead past her home and heard the lamentation of the living suffering from the loss of a loved one.

She started telling us about this during the Swine Flu of 2009.

In May of 2009 we landed in Mexico with doses of Tamiflu for each of us and upon disembarking were informed the entire country had been shut down.

You would have thought the world would have learned a lesson from that idiocy but, Nope. They thought it was a great idea anyway.

Would you like to bet on that?

I think part of all this is this Leftist concept of “safety” where everyone is guaranteed the right to never be hurt, never be uncomfortable, never be insulted from cradle to grave.

Who could be against “safety”, right?

Turns out I am because to the Left, “safety” is simply another word for “control”.

And the beady eyed tyrants in Communist China and elsewhere in the world have easily seen just how cowed modern countries can become under a “threat”, so we have ensured that this will happen again.

And one of these days it is going to be a real, honest-to-goodness evil and deadly pandemic that is going to kill a lot of people.

I will bet $250 to FR that you are wrong - that 20 AGs will not bring suit to SCOTUS or any other Federal Court for Lindell’s alleged claims. What should be the date for the deadline?

I think he is claiming 9:30 AM on 11/23/2021.

At least that is what he says in Post 49.

Something must have “dropped” in Qtard land to make a prediction that specific.

Dr. Brown has continually shown to be ‘smarter than the rest’ in his own eyes, not willing to rise above and fight a righteous fight, quickly wanting to move past what many Christians have seen in Trump - God’s anointing Hand in spite of Trump’s flaws.

Dr. Brown should follow his last dig at us ignorant and humble himself to ask God to show the WHY we keep the faith. To me, he has all the markings of spiritual pride.
