Trump Confirms He Spoke With ‘Great Gentleman’, Alabama Senator-Elect Tommy Tuberville, Projects Optimism About January 6 Challenge
National File ^ | 12/21/2020 | Gabriel Keane

President Donald Trump confirmed this week that he has spoken via telephone with Alabama Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville, and appeared to be feeling optimistic about Tuberville’s willingness to contest the electoral college results of the 2020 election on Jan. 6.

“I spoke to a great gentleman, Tommy Tuberville, last night, and he was so excited. He said, ‘You made me the most popular politician in the United States,'” Trump stated during an appearance on New York Radio station 770 WABC. “He said, ‘I can’t believe it.’ He’s great. Great senator.”

Tuberville had previously stated that he would “fight hard” for President Trump, as reported last week by National File:

In a video edited together by a left-wing activist on Twitter, Tuberville said “They’re going to steal it” in reference to the Senate runoff election in Georgia. He also showed support for President Donald Trump’s claims of a rigged election, noting “It’s impossible, it’s impossible what happened” in reference to Joe Biden’s purported victory.

“We’re going to get that all corrected,” Tuberville promised. “Don’t give up on [Trump].”

When asked to elaborate later on what “tricks up your sleeve” Senate Republicans may have to help with contesting the election, Tuberville stated, “Well, you see what’s coming. You’ve been reading about it in the House, we’re going to have to do it in the Senate.”

“We’re going to fight hard,” Tuberville promised.

Tuberville appeared to waffle after those remarks went viral, however, telling Yellowhammer News last week, &##8220;They asked me, ‘Are you going to support President Trump?’ And, of course, I’m always going to support President Trump. He’s the best president of my lifetime and has done more for the people of this country and the state of Alabama than anybody. But we want to make sure we do the right thing.”

If Tuberville does choose to contest the election on Jan. 6, he would join a coalition of Republican representatives who have made the pledge to contest on behalf of President Trump, led by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL).

Republican Sens. John Thune (R-S.D.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) have all indicated that they will not support the President on Jan. 6.

Interesting date;
On This “Little Christmas”
January 6th from my The First Book Of Moses poetry page

On This “Little Christmas”
January 6th

Once Upon a Time and not too long ago
The Twelfth Night Of Christmas
was celebrated with a ball
From the Day of Babes Birth
and the 11 thereafter
kith and kin were paid a visit
and friends from far and near
once were paid a call
So on this day I pray in the spirit that this date recalls
Let the gift of homage of kings gain
in the spirit of the days this season yet remain
ere it wane
Be thine Blessings Great
and misfortunes thee none befall

This poem is an abbreviated version from my websites poetry page which shows how the Christmas season was observed by Catholics in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood during depression times and WWII.The page also lists the differences from traditional Roman Catholic Christmas observance and the present after Vatican 2.Which eliminated a period of mortification during the advent period of fast and abstinence or reducing emphasis on observing feast days such as Immaculate Conception December 8th and the 12th day of Christmas known as the Epiphany January 6th.Resulting in listing Epiphany no longer on most calendars because of the decision to observe Epiphany to a Sunday following Christmas the 25th and New Years which was then known as the feast of Circumcision later named The Presentation when Jesus was presented in the Temple .

Ummm.... doesn’t the Dem controlled House have to vote to uphold a challenge in order to toss electors? I fail to understand how challenging electoral votes on the 6th will be anything more than symbolic.

I fear Trump is getting lulled into just waiting to put it in the hands of a totally compromised and largely anti-Trump Congress.

Sounds like Rudy today was sniping at Powell again.

Hard to say. I’ve heard the answer to that question presented as both “yes” and “no”.

OTOH, there could be something going on behind the scenes that none of us are privy to. Wish someone would tell us SOMETHING concrete. (I guess that’s just natural, though)

It is quite proper to contest the fraudulent electoral votes, but Trump doesn’t have the votes in either the House or the Senate to prevail. I have left the Republican Party, and barring a miracle on January 6th, I will not vote for a Republican again. We need a new party that is dedicated to the interests of the American people.

Apathy will kill the Republican Party. They are irrelevant and not really fighting for anything but themselves and their perks.

Does Rudy have a ego problem with Powell?

Screw the new party nonsense
The Left now owns the Courts, the media and the voting system
Do you really think a new party is the answer?

It is the first step. If that doesn't work, secession. If that doesn't work, Civil War. Death where is thy sting?

I don’t know. I am still listening to Patrick Byrne’s interview today. He’s talking about Rudy being a good man (as well as Trump) and that Rudy can’t be made special counsel to investigate this because he’s Trump’s attorney, but that Powell can and should be. That that is the next move Trump needs to take.

Good to listen to this: https://uncoverdc.com/2020/12/21/dark-to-light-a-meeting-with-the-president/

Just got to the end of the interview. Essentially saying Powell as special counsel and Rudy in Rudy’s role would get this handled.

Very frustrating and sad to listen to parts of this interview.

Here it really sounds like Rudy’s giving Powell the distance she needs to be named special counsel by Trump.

Pete Santilli ran that interview tonight. A lot is happening very fast. Patrick Byrne is a white hat guy - listen to this interview with him of TODAY (starts at 2:01:00):
