Why Trump's Attempts to Overturn 2020 Election Are Unparalleled in US History
NYT ^ | Nov 19, 2020 | David E. Sanger

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election are unprecedented in American history and an even more audacious use of brute political force to gain the White House than when Congress gave Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency during Reconstruction....

Those theories figured in a rambling news conference that Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer, held with other members of his legal team on Thursday. The group threw out a series of disconnected arguments to try to make the case that Mr. Trump really won. The arguments included blaming mail-in ballots that they said were prone to fraud as well as Dominion, which they suggested was tied to former President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela (who died seven years ago), and had vague connections to the Clinton Foundation and George Soros, the philanthropist and billionaire Democratic fund-raiser.

“That press conference was the most dangerous 1hr 45 minutes of television in American history,” Christopher Krebs, who was fired Tuesday night by Mr. Trump as the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the Department of Homeland Security, tweeted Thursday afternoon.

No mention that the briefing had a lot of focus on the fake news.

The theft attempted was unprecedented in US history also.

An unparalleled attempt to steal the election would prompt an unparalleled attempt to put it right.

The Democrats’ coordination in vote fraud was also unprecedented.

Have you noticed the absolute coordination of the Left re the term “overturn”.

Much like COVID, where “cases” became the term for positive tests and lately the work “skyrocket” has been the term of choice re case loads.

Goebbels would approve.

Use of brute force? Like proving the election was a fraud in court?

Hence why he was fired.

The NY Times and their ilk are not going to like what’s coming. Biden will NEVER be president.

“Overturn”

These people are dangerous. A true threat to good order in society. There is no overturning what has yet to be decided.

I doubt it. I think coordinated cheating is routine, normal, the way they roll. In 1960, the results in Illinois and Texas were called the wrong way. Nixon chose not to act on the theft even though he knew it had occurred. Cold War, etc. Plus, he was going to be allowed to win later, so essentially just deferred his "reward."

Sanger never read up on the election of 1876 apparently.

The press conference did not consist of “disconnected” arguments. They were pretty cogent, for those that actually have ears and aren’t wearing horse’s blinders.

I admit, it requires an IQ above that of a potato, and a personal moral code which recoils from lying, so this leaves out the press.

Especially David Sanger, cretin, NYT.

You are mistaken. The scale and scope of this fraud is unprecedented.

It is manifestly clear there will NEVER be another election where anyone but communists can be elected to the presidency and majority positions in congress, when they apply the technology down ballot.

A dirty civil war is coming.

Why do they say Trump? They never seem to want to admit it is the people who are sueing through Trump their vote being defrauded.

The media is delusional, they still think it is Trump , like he has no base or no founding in his claims.

There has not yet been an election. It is still in process.
