This parody from the conservative \/ right-wing Babylon Bee<\/a> — paralleling some plot points of GK Chesterson’s Man Who Was Tuesday as well an Onion article on media undercover in the Kim — initially lands on a kind of “funny, but not particularly germane to the real.” Or — the January 6th capitol incursion and Michigan governor kidnapping plots were not FBI projects, so screw this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On second glance, though, the grand event from last summer– I am having some trouble recalling precisely what it was but it was supposed to be a gathering of mean jerks on Washington — does slide easily into this “FBI project” narrative. But I suspect it was done so on purpose — the FBI kept its fingerprints all over in plain sight to discourage the 1\/6 ers from taking part — which they all did, with a lot of internet social media calling it out — a disruption move from Intelligence and a conspiracy’s conspiracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem of the day comes in listening to the Election day podcast of the Babylon Bee with guest Jonah Goldberg chiming in that Trump isn’t Hitler — and he will leave after the likely presidential loss peacefully –we won’t have a private “Downfall” speech. He spoke too soon. What you have to watch right now is round about here<\/a>.:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, not only is Trump endorsing earlier in national races, but he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also backing candidates in state-level elections, particularly for secretary of state.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has endorsed candidates for secretary of state \u00e2\u20ac\u201d a state\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s top election official \u00e2\u20ac\u201d in Arizona<\/a>, Georgia<\/a> and Michigan<\/a>. This is an unusually niche endorsement for a president to make; Trump didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t endorse in any secretary of state primaries in 2018, for instance. But the logic here is clear: These three secretaries of state in question refused to overturn the 2020 presidential result<\/a> in their states, and Trump is now attempting to fill these positions with officials who baselessly think the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this enough for an alternate counting designation in these states to slide in as electors with 2024’s q-shaman serving as enforcer? Lordy hell. And here it appears to take less shamelessness on Trump’s part — an admission of defeat — to get to that dramatic meme deployed speech… Not in keeping with future political strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
