How DJT Lost the White House, Chapter 3: Crashing the White House (December 18-22)

So far it hasn't become law. The House reintroduced it, passed it, and has submitted it to the Senate. If it passes the Senate, then we need to use Article V of the U.S. Constitution which gives states the power to call a Convention of States.

While I have up to this point been against calling for a Convention of States, the passage of HR-1 and it becoming law, changes everything, and this is the exact reason this provision was put into the Constitution.

[DoodleBob]

Outstanding. Thank you.

You summarized my sentiments (and hopefully that of others) extremely well. The legislatures blew it, but this Greek Tragedy compounded the problem.

Anyone can be sucker-punched. If our side doesn't learn from this tragedy, and de-fang wide-scale voter fraud ahead of time, it'll be a long, dark night. If we wuz REALLY smaht, we'd be three steps ahead on what their plan is BEYOND fraud.

Yeah, yeah, I know..."we are beyond elections...we are on our own...woe was me..." God gave us a lazy Obama and I believe He gave us a bit of a gift with Biteme. IMHO, * and Harris are preferable opponents to Bernie, Buttegeig, Lieawatha, Bloomberg, or Sen Haircomb-as-a-fork.

Yes, exactly. Any of a combination of three Republican controlled state legislatures could have stopped the steal, but none did. A second constitutional convention is now the last chance for a peaceful solution to the problem of rigged elections from voting machines, non-citizens voting, and mail-in ballot fraud. Otherwise things may get unpleasant. The problem is that the state legislatures don't seem to have any sense of urgency about the problem.

[Dr. Franklin]

She would have to fight it in court, with all that would entail. To what end? Biden would simply fire her, if she were actually able to prevail in a leftist court.

She could force Biden, or his AG, to fire her. Firing an independent counsel is a big deal politically. See Archibald Cox and the Saturday Night Massacre . She could wait a little longer to see if something big breaks, but if she waits too much longer, she will get hit with laches defense.

[amorphous]

Well, what does she have to lose, except money and time? So, maybe she should if she can find the funding. At this point, we're grasping at straws anyway, except for the one REAL and last line of defense, before citizen militias themselves, that being Our Red States.

So far, joining in the fight:

Texas
Missouri
Florida
North Dakota

[Dr. Franklin]

We need 34 state legislatures to call for a second constitutional convention, and then 38 to retify the amendments. Without that, there is no longer a repbulic.

[AZJeep]

Exactly! Why they did not oppose the mail in votes before the elections and why did they not posted people in the main counting places is above me?!
It was to be expected for sure!

[amorphous]

I agree. And the time to do so is critical.

[Gratia]

Every District Attorney places his key loyalist as head of the grand jury bureau. That’s the guy who has the power to indict, not indict, and to threaten to indict. That is awesome political AND protective power. The Democrats understand this. Trump never had an Eric Holder.

Ryan and McConnell held all the power. When Trump decided not to remove them, he gave up his presidency. He got nothing with McDaniel, who was perhaps loyalist but not a ruthless strategist. She was merely conventional.

And Trump himself either was not ruthless, or judged that ruthlessness would lead to worse results.

[LS]

I think he knew he was on a hair trigger in the Senate; that any move too bold our “outside the norms” would lose him the 17 GOP votes that would remove him. There were always a good 25 mush GOPers in the Senate. They would hang with Trump as long as it involved spending money, or “traditional” big government things, but would rebel at any swamp draining.

[KC Burke]

I had read your comments on your Twitter page yesterday and I agree with your take but with one exception.

You say:
In the end, I don’t think it mattered. The timetable was that Trump had from Nov. 4-Dec.14 to change the results. That was it.

I would add that Trump needed to have people working on election integrity prior to Nov 4 -- the Democrats sure did. In the future, we have to have an army working for months prior to the election or this will continue and the Nation is done. Almost there now.

After the election is the time for a small recount, but not the time for a wholesale investigation of the entire election. If it is not solidly honest in structure, it won't be honest in its result.

[LS]

Yes you are correct.

[StoneWall Brigade]

It was Impy

[Impy]

Yes. And sadly it’s the truest thing that I’ve ever realized.

It would have doubled (at least) his workload but it’s necessary. The corporate whores who control the party were only ever going to pretend to go along, they must be replaced, from the top down and the bottom up.

[DoodleBob]

Whoopie "I don't believe it was rape-rape" Goldberg, who is NOT someone I admire, said regarding Trump supports and not conceding "look, when Hillary lost, we were really angry and unhappy but after a while we accepted it and moved on...and you guys should do that now."

First, that's not true Whoopie...you all NEVER accepted the defeat, most of all Hillary.

Second of all, Hillary lost by 77,744 votes across MI, Wi, and PA, fair and square. Your side basically facilitated a pandemic, impeached the president on a tissue of lies, lied about lock downs and "flatten the curve, killed the economy, and hacked your way to a victory and STILL it was by only 42,918 votes across WI, GA, and AZ.

So forgive me if it takes more than a few days to "move on" like we did when Willard lost.

All that said, I am seeing green shoots via the other side getting drunk with braggadocio. The Time article, no woke SB commercials, a million antz taking down a hedge fund...it's all indicative of possible cracks in the edifice. It may be time to take a hint from Trump: chill out, reflect, recognize that * is the President, learn from mistakes, and regroup win tomorrow like we're Dennis Conner and it's 1987.

[Reddy]

Trump didn’t take the job seriously? Are you kidding?

He was a billionaire that didn’t have to endure the hassle, the scrutiny, the endless media rectal scoping (and the 4 year resist! crap) that he endured.

He could have lived a life of obscene luxury golfing to his heart’s content.

But he chose to stand up to the swamp, for his children, for his grandchildren, for us.

And you say he didn’t take the job seriously??

[Reddy]

Yeah, that’s so funny.

Let’s make fun of someone trying to save this country!! Yeah, he’s trying to look good for the succubus media, but....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Alberta's Child]

Let's go back and see what I posted:

There were many times over the last four years when it seemed like Trump didn’t even take the job seriously.

[rollo tomasi]

I think Trump realized how little control/power (By design for the most part) he had once the Oath was taken.

Sessions was "trusted" due to his presence and initial support. Trump had no idea he was getting undermined during the 2016 campaign. Once Sessions recused himself of the Russian stuff, Trump did a double-take and found out the first sentence, he was on a lonely island.

Add the whole bureaucratic Statists/Globalists mindset that does not put the US citizen first/does not want to make them great combined with Constitutional limitations and Republican back-stabbing and you got yourself a President early on that knows what kind of farce this whole government is. Anyone with a lick of sense would realize they are in a clown show, especially concerning the convoluted bureaucracy.
