Octopus Overlords

Probably the closest thing we’ll see to a concession.

I want to thank Emily Murphy at GSA for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our Country. She has been harassed, threatened, and abused – and I do not want to see this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA. Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good...

...fight, and I believe we will prevail! Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.

Also, not a chance in hell he wrote that.

Very Trumpian: GSA head makes sure to be clear that she made her decision independently, while Trump simultaneously tweets that it was basically his idea.

Well, he had to take a break from his unceasing lab work to create multiple Covid19 vaccines to deal with this.

Yeah, no one gives a shit about your two pages of editorializing. Quit whining and just do your goddamn job.

You suck of course you were threatened. Wahhhh... We need to drain the Karen's.

I don’t have a problem with the letter. Just glad it’s done.

Not going to lie. I had to totally look that up.

My wife loved crime shows and true crime so I didn't have to

Nobody should be threatened. In fact the FBI is investigating threatening texts to the GA Sec. of State. No gainful employment above "You want fries with that?" however, is to be encouraged.

Biden campaign’s response. That last line...oof.

BIDEN team acknowledges GSA ascertainment.

"[T]ransition officials will begin meeting with federal officials to discuss the pandemic response ... and gain complete understanding of the Trump administration’s efforts to hollow out government agencies."

That really doesn't sound like "Pardon Talk" to me.

I would like to give some credit to Rep. Sen. James Langford for being a consistent advocate for Biden to being the process of security briefings. etc.

Really?

James Lankford Interrupted His Own Evolution Into a True Vertebrate

A week or so ago, Oklahoma Senator James Lankford gave every sign of being a very rudimentary vertebrate carbon life form. From CNN:

"There is no loss from him getting the briefings and to be able to do that," Lankford told radio station KRMG, noting that he sits on the Senate Oversight Committee and that he's already started engaging on this issue. The Oklahoma Republican said if no progress is made on the issue by Friday, he will step in and say, "This needs to occur so that regardless of the outcome of the election, whichever way that it goes, people can be ready for that actual task."

"Regardless of the outcome" should have been a tell that the evolution into a true vertebrate would be...interrupted. From the Wall Street Journal, which watches Newsmax TV so the rest of us don't have to.

"I'm not in a hurry, necessarily, to get Joe Biden these briefings, it's been interesting how the media, the national media, not this network, but others have twisted this term 'step in.' I happen to chair the committee that oversees GSA, that is the entity that has to be able to make this call," Mr. Lankford said an interview with the pro-Trump Newsmax TV Saturday.

Dude, you said it on the radio, which has availed itself of recording devices for many decades now. Do you have a lame-ass alibi to run by us? Of course, you do.

Mr. Lankford said he was using the term "step in" to ask the General Services Administration about their process and act as a sounding board for the agency.

So it's Emily Murphy's fault that Senator James Lankford has delicious creme filling for a backbone? She's problem enough without blaming her for that, too.

I didn't see that he backtracked. I took a media break for most of the weekend.

Why not? They just conducted a full hand recount. If you want to recount again, why wouldn’t he pay? He already got the free automatic recount, no?

So is Putin. Given another term, I'd expect Trump would get there too.

Now the QA(hole)nons are talking about breaking out their guns. What is not clear is exactly whom they intend to shoot.

I'm legit worried something will happen. It's not like they will take over the country or something, but get enough crazy together and you can do something like blow up a government building. Not that it's ever happened before.

Yeah...they’re not taking this well.

A lot of unfollowed parler accounts with low volume posts are saying crazy shit? Say it isn't so!

I don’t think any of these stalwart keyboard warriors will actually do anything, but it only takes one...

This sentence would not have stood out before 2016, it likely would not have been written at all actually.

I just heard this 3-0 out of four. Thank you, to the one with integrity.

I'm not sure integrity means what you think it means.

I mean the 1 republican certifier who didn't put the desire of the GOP above the electoral process.

Yep, I realized that after posting. Whups! Agree.

It has been interesting to see the MAGA's in my circle - all of whom were deafeningly loud prior to the election - simply vanish from social media entirely over the past couple weeks. Maybe they all switched to Parler, but they have all just gone :poof:.

It's kinda nice, actually.

As opposed to the number of law enforcement officers who are simply on Parler?

Countdown to Biden inauguration as President:

57 DAYS

As the final vote tally comes in, Joe Biden has defeated TWPIH* by a landslide margin of over 6 million votes.

It's the law, that's why. The recount GA undertook was on their own, the losing candidate can request a recount if he is close enough. Blame the legislature, not me

They are switching to other social networks and unfriending people. I would call it unintentionally deceptive quiet. There is no plan other than mass grievance.

I'm starting to think that we might be right in the middle of the enforcement of E.O. 13848 (Trump, 2018) right now and not even know it (it has sweeping provisions for secrecy).

Lin Wood subpoenaed the State Farm Arena video/audio footage during the pipe burst/water leak disaster time frame. But he did it in the way that the .gov does only when they already have the footage (loudly, in public). This is an old agency trick - you copy everything and let them delete what they don't want you to see and then you just have to focus on the discrepancies to get all of your evidence - people often give the feds stuff they didn't have before this way. Plus, finding people guilty of lying to a court is a lot easier than proving an older crime forensically.

OnE aspect of an EO 13848 enforcement phase would mean that fed.gov effectively owns all Dominion hardware and all of the Smartmatic infrastructure (in the USA) at this point. IF (big if) they are going to start fraud/treason charges I like the idea of starting with republicans in GA first. It sends a very bipartisan message and gets everyone's attention at the same time.

If the various countdowns in EO13848 are any indication maybe the radio silence will have to break on Dec 18th (not sure about my math here).

Maybe this is finally the Put Up part of the Put Up or Shut Up I have been clamoring for.

None of the above is real. I'm presuming the source for this dose of crazy is similar to this but spun leftward. You are consuming thought poison.

So to get this straight, you were just reading the Federal Register and independently came up with the same conspiracy theory circulating on the right?
