Yeti, given what we know about the transition four years ago, citing the FBI as a paragon of integrity probably isn’t your strongest argument.
Just sayin’.
Yes, they are. Yes, they probably are.
You trust the FBI? Haha haha…. I’d trust Rachel Madow before I trusted representatives from that agency, and the higher up, the less I’d trust them.
I knew this conspiracy was not limited to merely the Cubans, the Venezuelans and Ted Cruz’s father.
That’s right! There had to be more to this.
This is news.
The Trump administration is letting the transition to the Biden administration begin even though Trump is not conceding the election. But formal transition to a Biden administration is now happening.
The GSA formally recognized Biden as the winner today. Now Biden’s team will be working on the logistics
Trump announced the move in a tweet while saying that it isn’t over.
So is falsifying a warrant application in order to conduct surveillance on American citizens. Doesn’t seem to have motivated the FBI to lock anyone up for that federal offense.
Nah, they were too busy attempting to overturn the results of the last election.
@blueyeti
So, what do you make of Donald Trump approving the General Services Administration to start the transition to the Biden team? He’s not conceding the election. But still . . . .
It’s really funny to watch these people use the same lame play, mocking the ‘conspiracy theorists’ by citing absurdities as though…
It’s spectacularly stupid. But revealing! Thanks.
This is for you, but you might not get it. That’s okay….
In this thread I’ve compared the (D)/MSM acceptance of the Obama FBI/DOJ/IC Russia Collusion Hoax narrative which was was also based on the of claim of illegal election interference, to the current Trump Legal Teams claims of illegal (D) voter fraud.
In this instance the (D)/MSM believe Trump’s claim of (D) voter fraud is an outrageous head exploding travesty of a catastrophe, yet amazingly enough somehow the proven lie Russia Hoax election interference narrative lives on unchallenged by the (D)/MSM four years later and counting … not even an … “oops … may bad!”
While the Trump Campaign Legal Team has been clown show, and the Sidney Powell allegations seemed fantastical because evidently they were …. many of us who are still seriously pissed off about the Russia Hoax and the lack of accountability for the corruption are actually enjoying watching the (D)/MSM/NT pants wetting at Trump’s refusal to concede and continuing the court challenges and recounts until all Trump’s options are exhausted.
The (D)/MSM/NT will get their concession, but they are going to have to get used to walking around in their soiled panties for a few more weeks.
That’ll learn them
If nothing else, we are seeing our allies declare their abject gullibility. That is, the belief the FBI is free of political corruption, that Democrats only cheat a little bit but wouldn’t ever do it massively, even when 10 million extra votes show up for a non-candidate, and if we can’t prove it decisively -and right away – we should accept it like “adults”, that reporters and editors from corporate media are giving us the information straight up, and wouldn’t knowingly lie or mislead us, and that we should listen to them on how to get ‘em next time. Not. Gonna. Happen.
All for it and I would assume this is as close as we’re going to get to a concession. And I’m fine with that.
Folks, I am going to leave this thread now. And I’m going to stop discussing the election in other threads too. My aim was not to change anyone’s mind, it was to attempt to challenge people to provide evidence for what was being asserted by the campaign and by extension, Ricochet members. As far as I know, no one (including Rudy Guiliani and Sidney Powell) have been able to provide evidence of massive fraud.
Simultaneously, we have been having an ongoing internal discussion on how to best manage and promote the myriad of conversations on this topic, many of which were understandably emotional and heated. We were looking for ways that allow people to make their cases while still adhering to some semblance of civility, balance, and accuracy.
For the most part, we try to leave the discussions to you and to not interfere. On this particular topic, I felt we needed to participate and at least attempt to keep some decorum and not let conversations veer into wild conspiracies and personal attacks, both of which we have longstanding rules about. We made a deliberate decision to not enforce those rules to the letter from on high through the moderators. Instead, we engaged you person to person and tried to encourage good conversations that way. Was that better? Probably too soon to say, at least for us. My guess is many of you think we utterly failed while maybe a few others may think we did the best we could under the circumstances.
We’ll have more to say on this topic and where we go from here in the days ahead. We will be seeking your input and participation in that conversation. In the meantime, on behalf of all of us who work here, we wish you a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving.
We can conclude from the above that @blueyeti is a living, breathing example of the people whom I condemned for urging unilateral disarmament on the Republican Party.
Democrats are free to delegitimize every Republican President since the turn of the century; but Republicans must never reply in kind, not even if they have better evidence than the Democrats ever did.
Oh, but @blueyeti knows this was a “free and fair election”: he doesn’t need to wait for investigations to be performed.
Well, I am not so sure it was fair, with Twitter and Google and Facebook and the media acting as Joe Biden‘s publicists.
Nor am I so sure it was free, for a mail ballot is nothing like a secret ballot, filled out in the privacy of a voting booth. Democratic operatives may have watched (read: intimidated) voters filling out their ballots, or even filled out their ballots for them, in places like nursing homes and homeless shelters.
And that’s not even counting all the ballots that would have gone to addresses where the people maybe haven’t lived for YEARS.
Given that the poor tend to change their addresses a lot, unclaimed ballots must have piled up around public housing estates in deeper piles than the autumn leaves. Local machine operatives could then hoover them up, fill them out, and send them in by the thousands.
That would be true if those people registered to vote at each address, which probably didn’t happen as much as it would for other people. But still, a lot of excess ballots were sent out.
Does this mean we’re not going to get to see you jump out of the car at 80 mph?
I would be fine if he never concedes.
If he loses and instead leaves the letter on the desk once Jan 20, 2021 at 12:01 rolls around – assuming that is the way it plays out – that is ok too.
If it plays out that he peacefully remains in office, I am going to expect that the concession republicans concede to that process as well.
So much winning !!!
You are right, there has been. Far more winning than I had a right to expect. I am profoundly grateful to President Trump for the clarity he has brought to the so-called conventional wisdom.
I would like the winning to continue.
We’ll see.
@blueyeti Too bad you didn’t take a good look at St Augustine’s post then. It had all you are requesting.
Hate to say it, but, from my perspective you aren’t really looking for a semblance of civility, balance, and accuracy; it must be that “you”* are looking for something else.
*meaning the Rico PTB.
This interview was conducted over a year ago.
But still sort of interesting.
Please clap.
Third Circuit Unanimously Rejects Trump Emergency Appeal in Pennsylvania Case
https://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/3rd-trump.pdf
In a 21-page unanimous and scathing unpublished opinion, the Third Circuit has rejected the appeal of the Trump campaign in the Pennsylvania federal case challenging the election results. Judge Bibas, a Trump appointee, begins the opinion:
. . .
So, another one of President Trump’s nominees to the federal judiciary has ruled against Trump’s lawsuits.
You expected something else?
Now, had it been an Obama appointee ruling against Biden, you might have something to insinuate. This, nah. I expect Trump appointees to rule on the merits.
Targeted – but voluminous fraud, has bee proven as far as I know. What do you know Yeti? Youve never demonstrated special knowledge or ability in any area here, other than running a website well. Your opinions ( in my opinion) are pedestrian, middle-of-the-road corporate Republican lacking any deviations or insights.
Maybe you should expand your sources?
Yeah there’s evidence. A lot. How do you not know? Who are you reading? This is MSM propaganda and you are going along with it. So the quest is, do you know you are doing that or are you just completely clueless as to what’s actually happening?
Yes, I see lots of folks posting links from Gateway Pundit or Breitbart as if they aren’t propaganda. Breaking news: the are propaganda, they’re just your propaganda.
And now, here’s some actual news. It’s not slanted, it’s just reporting what happened. But you’re not gonna like it….
Pennsylvania Supreme Court tosses GOP congressman’s suit seeking to throw out all ballots cast by mail
And…
Well, congratulations then! Your guy Biden is gonna be President! He got 80 million votes! AMAZING! And there was no fraud, or no massive fraud, or something…
The guy who can’t utter a complete sentence, who didn’t campaign, who had ZERO coattails in Congressional and Senate races, where there are very suspicious irregularities, both in the overall data and in specific reports, with every indication of systematic and blatant election rigging won.
So your position is – let me get this straight- that since nothing has been sufficiently proven to you and to partisan Democrats, I – and about 60 million other Americans – am engaging in wild speculation and false assumptions. They are all reading Brietbart and Gateway, and unlike you, couldn’t possibly have simple common sense and BS-detecting skills.
There remain many unproven accusations. I imagine that since OJ was acquitted, it’s unproven that he killed Nicole and Ron. It’s unproven that there was an Armenian genocide. It’s unproven that Epstein didn’t kill himself. Pure conspiracy theory! It’s unproven that the intel agencies spied on the Trump campaign. It’s unproven that you have an IQ over 115. Or that mine is over 114, but sometimes things are obvious. That’s where you give your partisanship away.
Thank you for checking in again!😉
