So Rudy was actually the hero all along? Rudy Giuliani and Dan Quayle, the unsung saviors of our democracy.
Mr. Giuliani was vehemently opposed to the idea of the military taking part in the seizure of machines, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Trump summoned Mr. Giuliani to the Oval Office, according to one person familiar with the matter. When Mr. Giuliani read the draft order, he told Mr. Trump that the military could be used only if there was clear-cut evidence of foreign interference in the election.
Ms. Powell, who had spent the past month filing lawsuits claiming that China and other countries had hacked into voting machines, said she had such evidence, the person said. But Mr. Giuliani was adamant that the military should not be mobilized, the person said, and Mr. Trump ultimately heeded his advice.
The source is most likely Rudy himself attempting some degree of damage control.
But surely the NYT wouldnât credulously report Rudyâs account without corroboration like a bunch of stenographers.
Seems like heâs trying to tone down the language by moving away from âoverturn the election.â
Good thing you can put toothpaste back in the tube.
âThe Unselect Committeeâ - what a fucking child ⌠again.
Iâm still trying to wrap my head around the whole Nancy Pelosi security thing. On the one hand, Trump wonât admit to inspiring the insurrection, while at the same time insisting that Pelosi should have seen it coming? Seems like a very weak effort to deflect.
And yeah, heâs definitely trying to fix his language on overturning an election. And yeah, it doesnât matter. The overriding problem is that it seems impossible to put an ex-President in jail for any number of crimes without it seeming âpoliticalâ. Even though its completely criminal. So really, he can just say whatever he wants.
He doesnât care about the contradiction. His cult doesnât care about the contradiction. The end.
This is such a huge reminder that as bad as things are, they could have been worse
Correction - things will be worse.
Not really a correction. Both that and my statement are true
Trump: Seize the voting machines!
Barr: Sir, this is bullshit.
Trump: Get me voting machines!
DHS: Sir, we donât have the power to do that.
âŚ
Trump: Voting machines!
Cashier: Sir, this is a Wendyâs.
Barr not even having to sweat an investigation might piss me off more than Trumpâs functional immunity.
not only that, heâs going to get some fawning praise for not being the worst possible deplorable
I assume Trump would be ok with Vice President Harris just calling Biden the winner in 2024 even if Biden loses.
Thatâs why theyâre going to storm Congress the right way in 2024 and actually get the VP this time.
