Entering The American Twilight Zone

We didn’t know it then, but on Election Night, November 8, 2020, America entered a Twilight Zone every bit as eerie and unanticipated as anything dreamed up by Rod Serling decades earlier. It began with time standing still in the middle of the Election Night vote count, followed by a flood of outlandish vote totals being relayed to us, especially from Democrat strongholds in 7 swing states. Then there was the alacrity with which network analysts declared Biden the winner, especially, the Fox news early projection of a Biden win in Arizona.

Among Trump partisans and Republicans generally, there was shock and mounting disbelief. Had the triumphant incumbent, fresh off years of creating a vibrant economy, establishing the conditions for a significant peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors, erasing the brutal Caliphate, standing up to and quelling both the insatiable dragon of Communist China and Putin’s snarling Russian bear, shutting down the fiery Iranian mullahcracy, and creating American energy independence—had Trump somehow lost to the enfeebled, untrusted political cipher, Scranton Joe?

Bizzaro world 2.0. Odd that they amount of damage they can do negates the good overwhelmingly.

Uhh, the election was on November 3 in 2020. After that, there's not much reason to read further.

Well written summation of what happened. Good one to print and tuck away in a book, so that in 50 years, when all true history has been digitally erased, the account will still be available.

They pulled out all the stops (releasing the virus) to be rid of Trump, and ad a secondary benefit, usher in soft, for now, communism.

Anyone who thinks Trump is getting anywhere near the reigns of power again is delusional.

November 3. The third.

And we did know it. Fox News permanently turned off in a majority of homes on that night.

Geeze. Who is this

American thinker. Ok.

That’s funny. If this author went to vote on the 8th, no wonder she is worried her vote didn’t count.

Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire;Kiev officials are scrambling
to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Hillary Clinton.

President Petro Poroshenko’s administration, along with the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, insists that Ukraine stayed neutral in the American presidential race.

Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.

A Ukrainian-American operative who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.

The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort’s resignation and advancing the narrative that Trump’s campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine’s foe to the east, Russia. But they were far less concerted or centrally directed than Russia’s alleged hacking and dissemination of Democratic emails.

Russia’s effort was personally directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, involved the country’s military and foreign intelligence services, according to U.S. intelligence officials. They reportedly briefed Trump last week on the possibility that Russian operatives might have compromising information on the president-elect. And at a Senate hearing last week on the hacking, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said “I don’t think we’ve ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process than we’ve seen in this case.”

There’s little evidence of such a top-down effort by Ukraine.

Longtime observers suggest that the rampant corruption, factionalism and economic struggles plaguing the country — not to mention its ongoing strife with Russia — would render it unable to pull off an ambitious covert interference campaign in another country’s election.

And President Petro Poroshenko’s administration, along with the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, insists that Ukraine stayed neutral in the race.

It takes a long time to create things of value but a very short time to destroy them.

I totally disagree. This is one of the finest summations of the events that have occurred in this country since that fateful election night in November 2000.

“We didn’t know it then, but on Election Night, November 8, 2020, America entered a Twilight Zone “

I beg to differ, but anyone with eyes and two brain cells to rub together understood it.

What we discovered we were facing no was a MUCH bigger corruption problem than we ever expected.
Much like the folks on the Titanic, when they saw that itty bitty piece of ice in the water up ahead of them.

This nation will suffer the same fate for it.

***These are the death throes, the muscle spasms of a dying republic which was issued the official death blow when SCOTUS refused to do their job in Berg vs. Obama saying that no one in America had standing.

Yes. They are consolidating their grip on those reins of power at a breathtaking pace.

Evil never takes a holiday.

“They pulled out all the stops (releasing the virus) to be rid of Trump”

And don’t forget a fake impeachment that McConnell let drag on for three months, the antifa and blm riots that took three tries to get lit off (Arbery, Briona Taylor, and then finally George Floyd...

This was a full-on CIA regime change color revolution.
