POTUS is on the move. "Less than 5 minutes" we are hearing. (RSBN)

This is happening simultaneously. POTUS is not here yet. Drama anyone?

Pres. Trump statement 1/5/2021 (not 2020 - that looks like a typo)

He’s here.
Where is the audio?

“You don’t concede when there is theft involved.” - POTUS
"And I hope that Mike is gonna do the right thing. I hope so. I hope so. Because if Mike does the right thing, we win the election. This is from one of the top Constitutional lawyers in the country."
"States want to re-vote. The states got defrauded. They were given false information....all VP Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify and we become President and you are the happiest people."
"I just spoke to Mike. That doesn't take courage."
Crowd is chanting "We love Trump."
"Crowd goes all the way past the Washington Monument."
"They say Sir, we'll never let it happen again. But I say, what about 8 weeks ago?"
"We're gonna have somebody in there who should not be there. And our country will be destroyed. We're not going to stand for that."
"The weak Republicans, they're pathetic Republicans. If something like this happened to the Democrats, there'd be hell all over the country."
"You're the people who built this Nation. You're not the people who tore down our Nation."
"They turned a blind eye as Democrats enacted policies that...put America last."
"How do you say I want to get rid of America First? Unbelievable what we have to go through."
"Boom in the morning, these explosions of bulls**t, and all of a sudden it started to happen [Biden won]."
"I hope Mitt [Romney] enjoyed his flight last night" [he was confronted/ridiculed]
"You know what the world says about us now? We don't have free and fair elections. We don't have free [fair?] press....it's become the enemy of the people."
"Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. We want to be so nice, so respectful of everybody, including bad people. We're gonna have to fight much harder."
"Mike Pence will have to come through for us. And if he doesn't, that will be a sad day for our country. Because you're sworn to uphold our Constitution."
"We're gonna walk down, and I'll be with you, to the Capitol, and we're gonna cheer on our brave Congressmen and Congresswomen...you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength."
"Do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated."
"Peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
"Our country has been under siege for a long time. Far longer than this four year period."
"We've done things that nobody thought possible. And that's part of the reason why people don't like us."
"If they do the wrong thing, we should never ever forget."
The President is still speaking, but I have to go.

It’s amazing how the President actually gets his enemies to do the work of burying themselves.


In this audio, which of course the President knew was being taped (after years of leaks), the President gets the Georgia Secretary of State to own the faulty data. Raffensperger cannot claim he made a mistake.


It’s a sting. “Shredded ballots” and “took out machines” - “do you know anything about that? ‘Cause that’s illegal, right?”


How can the fake news claim that this audio is false? The answer is that they can’t. It comes from one of their own, The Washington Post.

Ryan Germany, General Counsel for Georgia’s Secretary of State, jumps in. “No, Dominion has not moved any machinery out of Fulton County.”

“But have they moved the inner parts?”

“Are you sure, Ryan?”

So let's see a show of hands: how many of you even knew Huber was digging into the Clinton Foundation? While he was assisting Horowitz in his digging into the FISC/Steele Dossier/Fusion GPS/Perkins Coie/DNC/Hillary campaign stuff?


I'm sure Huber is coming to DC *only* to discuss Clinton Foundation things with Meadows and his committee.

He for certain, like, won't be huddling with Horowitz or that new guy, Whitaker while he's in town. That would NEVER HAPPEN. [wink wink wink!] 😉

I just spent a year and a half telling you they will SHOW YOU what they are REALLY DOING when they are READY.

Not before.

No matter how much whining is done about it.

I'm exhausted but it's worth it.

Now you know why they're f**king TERRIFIED of Whitaker, the closer tapped by Trump to come in late for the hysterical fireworks that will ensue soon.

Look who's suddenly fund raising for his legal defen- er, I mean, ha ha - his reelection campaign!
All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.

Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.


I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.

But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.

Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.

I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.


This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/
