Yeah, I'm Going to Say This

There are some serious allegations flowing at hearings in Arizona and Michigan about voter fraud that occurred in the election. In Michigan, one election observer testified today that she saw a bunch of military ballots that appeared to be photocopies. They were all of unregistered voters. They were all cast for Joe Biden.

What is most remarkable is that the Trump campaign lawyers, in pursuing litigation in Michigan, never trotted out that witness or used her in court to get an injunction in her county to halt the proceedings.

In fact, that is the common theme. Republican legislators in both states are putting people under oath to give their claims of election fraud before friendly audiences. These people are not being challenged and they will never be prosecuted for perjury not because they are telling the truth, but because they are telling the GOP what it wants to hear to discredit the election in a dog and pony show.

But in hearing it, the GOP has not rushed any of those people before a judge in a court and put them under oath there where they and the lawyers who brought them would be punished for lying.

If these people are telling the truth, the remarkable story is not that the election was stolen, but that the Trump campaign was too incompetent to challenge the theft.

So I might as well generate some hate mail and comments with some blunt truths. I say this as a supporter and donor of the President's re-election effort. A lot of his core supporters, who've never contributed a penny to his campaign, will blast me as NeverTrump, but this needs to be said.

According to the Trump World narrative, the President was failed by multiple chiefs of staff, his first attorney general, and now his second. He is even now being failed by his lawyers. 

The Durham investigation that would expose everything is exposing nothing, not even itself. But just you wait and see! 

The Trump-controlled Department of Justice and Trump controlled FBI are both in on stealing the election from their boss along with possibly the CIA and now Fox News whose accurate call of Arizona was right but hurt feelings by coming too soon. 

The Republican governors of Georgia and Arizona and the Republican legislators of Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin are in on picking the infrastructure that stole the election and will do nothing to stop it. 

The Republican Party in Georgia is unable to get the Republican Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, or Attorney General to act or do the President's bidding, so they all must be in cahoots with Stacey Abrams who they all dislike. 

Dominion Voting Systems handed the vote to Donald Trump in twelve of fourteen counties in which their machines were used in Pennsylvania. Nonetheless, Dominion was in on the act of stealing the election there and elsewhere. 

The paper ballot votes in Georgia aligned with the Dominion Voter Systems machine count so that is proof the election was stolen, as were the disproportionate use of absentee ballots by Democrats when Trump said not to use them and Biden said to use them. 

The lawsuits being filed by President Trump's team are all being tossed from court, often by the judges the President himself picked. The lawyers have failed him. So have his judges and courts. 

Maybe it is all a grand conspiracy or maybe, just maybe, and this is a wild idea, but maybe the man who said he hired the best people didn't and that ultimately means that he's not actually very good at picking the right people. But wait, there's more. 

For the sake of argument, let's suppose that the Attorney General, who previously served as Attorney General for George H. W. Bush, is actually a highly competent individual and John Durham is too. 

But both have been unable to deliver results that would expose the deep state conspiracy against the President -- the one that also involved the DOJ, FBI, and CIA stealing the election with the help of Republican governors and legislators from the President who presides over those organizations. 

Concurrently, there are a bunch of courtiers to the Trump Administration who've been assuring us that, just you wait, it is all going to be exposed and people are going to jail and the deep state house of cards is collapsing. The Durham investigation will expose everything, supposedly. Except now the Attorney General who all Trump supporters initially praised is vilified for not doing enough.

Meanwhile, the deep state is able to steal the presidential election, but the GOP got gains everywhere else and the deep state could not steal the Senate. The deep state couldn’t even take state legislative seats from the GOP, which will allow them to redistrict Democrats out of power in two years. The idiot deep staters had every major polling firm in America show a Democratic blowout and weren’t smart enough to align their theft of the election with what the polls showed and everyone expected.

Maybe — and I know this might just blow your mind — but maybe what if you've been lied to the whole time. There is no conspiracy. There is no theft of the election. The President hired highly competent people, but it is him, not them, who is the problem. 

And then maybe, just maybe, because it is him, not them, who is the problem, ultimately it is really you who are the problem because you so willingly got played and even now want to be played because now you're emotionally invested in a cause and a candidate.

To admit you were played and he lost and there was no deep state conspiracy or theft of the election would actually make you look bad at this point. So it's better to double down on the lies and blame everyone else from the Trump-appointed Attorney General to the Trump-appointed FBI Director to the Trump-appointed CIA Director to various Trump endorsed Governors to the GOP establishment to corporate America, the Carlyle Group, the Rothschilds, the Russians, and the Chinese, along with Fox News that spent four years letting the President have nearly uninterrupted air time.

Maybe Hillary Clinton was so deeply disliked that Trump could beat her and if he'd not flubbed his first debate, not had so many insane tweets, and not handled the viral situation as he had, he could have beaten Biden. But voters got exhausted and chose to move on. 

It really is remarkable how everyone always fails President Trump in the end. From Jeff Sessions to John Kelly to Mick Mulvaney to General Mattis to William Barr to John Durham to Brian Kemp to Doug Ducey and the list goes on and on, all these people just fail or betray the President, allegedly. I just suspect when the failures are so complete and so thorough and so widespread among people he chose, hired, or endorsed, that maybe they are not the ones failing.

Or, who knows, maybe the deep state stole it and, if so, using the same machines in 4 years, good luck running Trump again.
