The President knows full-well that the country is hanging by a very thin thread.
Without knowing specifically what Sidney meant by her Kraken comment, it is safe to say that the President is, in the end, the Kraken. And his reputation as a fighter also hangs in the balance.
This fight isn't over. It is just beginning.
This is a coup in process and it will be stopped or patriots (led by the President) will have to shift into counterrevolutionary mode.
I’d love for you to be right, but it appears Trump has NO aces up his sleeve that are going to be played - grandiose claims of Exec Orders passed in 2018 or any other assumptions aside. If he did, he would have already played his hand.
I know I may be in the minority here, but to me - it’s over, and there is no “Kracken”, no super secret guys in white hats arresting people under the 2018 order, no martial law, no revote, no SCOTUS or anything else coming. Painful lesson at least for me, is that there are times the good guys simply don’t win in the end.
