Or did he go to Camp Pendleton ?

Just remember, if he did sign the Insurrection Act, the media would be blasting it and calling him a tyrant. It's completely possible that he signed it though, it's been a huge card he's been holding on to, but time will tell.
I'm with you. I'm holding out hope 'till the end. If it happens my liberal friends are going to hate me because I'll end up being the most cocky, loud mouthed, obnoxious braggart they'd ever met. I simply won't be able to help myself!Quote:

January 8, 2021
As I write to you today, I have no doubt that this letter will find many of you crushed under the weight of despair or perhaps lost in a maze of confusion. It is my hope that by the time you finish reading this letter you will be able to confidently join millions of others who support the president and another four years.
Let me be clear: Trump will be president for another four years. Biden will not be president. Yes, I know those are shocking words in these crazy days.
I have been approached by many saying, “It’s over…” and “Trump conceded the election…”. Nothing of the sort has taken place. Go back and listen to the videos all the way through. At no point does Trump even mention Biden’s name. At no point does he say he concedes. He does say that there will be a peaceful transition to a new administration and he does say that this is only the beginning. Those phrases are important to note. Indeed, we will have a new administration made up of a new vice president and cabinet as the current ones have all made their treason complete. I will touch on this in more detail shortly.
We do well to remember that for more than four years Donald Trump has been five steps ahead of everyone in every attempt to derail him, impeach him, or confound him. For example, he announced on election night in the early hours of the morning that he “didn’t want a dump of ballots at 4AM.” What happened in just a few short hours at almost exactly 4AM? A huge ballot dump took place which showed that he already knew that it was going to take place. That was a public word to the enemies of our country that he was on to them. Also, consider the recent incident at the capitol building in DC. Trump was late to his speaking engagement and then spoke on a number of rehashed things to the crowd of 500K+ but this created a problem. You see, if Trump had spoken on time and briefly, the MAGA crowd would have been at the capitol building with the Antifa faction and likely would have been drawn into the fray by accident and confusion due to the crowd size. With Trump speaking late and long, the MAGA crowd was PROTECTED and SEPARATED from the Antifa groups. It would be very clear that the disguised Antifa people were 95%+ of the people in the building. Again, Trump countered because he was steps ahead of them. This was clearly a staged event meant to blame Trump supporters and try to frame Trump so the 25th amendment could be used by Congress but it failed. Nevermind the numerous videos showing the police opening the gates for Antifa (they didn’t fight their way in) and then leading them throughout the building.
I say all this as only two examples out of many that at no point has our president been in a fight of desperation.
Now you may ask, “Why hasn’t Trump arrested anyone yet? Why did this have to go all the way to Congress?” Multiple reasons: first, Trump has been adamant in following the rule of law and the Constitution. He gives everyone, no matter how dirty, an opportunity to do the right thing (sometimes with warnings such as the phone call with the Georgia Secretary of State recently). He pushed cases through the courts, he presented evidence to the legislatures, and he even told the vice president to do the right thing. But with the betrayal by Pence and Congress, the treason is now complete and nobody can say that Trump did not allow the process to finish before acting. Second, in order to drain the swamp you have to know who are the swamp creatures. They can blend in very well with the crowds. But the false event in the capitol revealed the final traitors for who they were regardless of party affiliation. Trump flushed them out of hiding.
I need to take a moment to speak on Pence. With his treason completed, many of you may not know of his dealings and political posturing prior to the infamous day in the capitol. Pence was already wheeling and dealing way back during the 2016 election season with…wait for it….Paul Ryan. Remember Ryan? The RINO speaker of the house? Look at these emails that were recently revealed:
Pence-Ryan Emails
Pence was also involved with a scheme to oust Trump sometime during his first four years that was orchestrated by Rod Rosenstein and supported by the Clintons. The plan: get rid of Trump, become president and then appoint Rod Rosenstein as the new VP. Why would they want that? Because they felt Pence could be controlled. See these links for the 3 part series for more information:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
More could be said but I don’t want this letter to become more of a book than it already is. Suffice it to say that when Trump said at the DC rally that he hoped Pence would do the right thing, he already knew what he was going to do but was, yet again, giving the man space to choose to do the right thing.
Now, nobody has been more supportive of Trump than Lin Wood. This man’s career has been fighting defamation lawsuits which means that he doesn’t say things, no matter how outrageous they may seem, without them being true as he knows the consequences of slander. With this in mind, Lin Wood has become a fountain of information and leaks of hitherto unknown information revealing some of the depths of corruption and evil in our highest offices. This is the same man who recently said that arrests are coming over the next few days. He called Pence a traitor well before the counting of the elector votes on the 6th. But did you know that he also said that the president, following the capitol incident, left DC on a “Doomsday” aircraft (used for communications in the event of a nuclear war) with his family and was in Abilene, TX. This aircraft was confirmed by both flight trackers and eyes on the ground. In short, he is a trustworthy source of information. If you have a means to follow Lin Wood on Parler, I would highly recommend that you do so to stay abreast of things taking place. You can also listen to this podcast: Podcast
So, what comes next? I don’t have the particulars but I can give you milestones to watch for as the coming days unfold:
Expect the emergency broadcast system to be activated. The FCC just recently released a memorandum speaking to the requirements under Federal law to send messages from the president to the public. See this link
Expect confusion. We are in a battle for our republic against elites that are attempting the very coup that they are accusing Trump of doing. In battle, there will be disinformation but know that plans are being fulfilled.
Expect high profile arrests to take place over the next 12 days and at any time. You may wake one morning to find someone in high office is no longer there.
Expect this to be a bumpy ride to the very end. This is not a television show where things are resolved in 45 minutes.
Expect more bombshell evidence to be released between now and Jan. 20th.
Expect some sort of internet blackout or outage: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Gmail are likely going to be affected. If you don’t have alternate forms of communication established now, it would be a good idea to start forming them even if it’s just checking on your nextdoor neighbors.
Expect Trump to be inaugurated on Jan 20th!
Expect the executive order from 2018 and/or the Insurrection Act to be enacted. This DOES NOT mean martial law. Remember that we have been under a state of emergency since 2018 which gives the president many powers to act.
These things may happen out of the order listed and some may happen multiple times. As I have been watching closely, many things have been and are in play as we speak. Remember that Trump has not and will not give up. He actually takes his oath of office to defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic very seriously. This is why they are so panicked in DC: they know that Trump will fight while Congress just rolls over.
I’ve mentioned this before but it bears repeating. None of us would have believed what we all now know except that Trump and his team have painstakingly taken the time to show the public. Want to show what Congress thinks of you? Highlight that the stimulus bill only sent $600 to each American but billions to other countries (payoffs, money laundering). Want to show the extent of collusion with the CCP at all levels of government? Bring multiple lawsuits against the election fraud from the local courts all the way to the Supreme Court which will show just how brazenly treasonous the judges are. Want the public to see how rigged the election system has been for many years? Present the evidence openly as we have seen. Even this week we have sworn testimony out of Italy that the Leonardo defense contractor used satellites to change the votes from our election in the USA from Italy. These Dominion voting machines were actively sending data to Germany, Serbia, China, Iran, and now Rome. This corruption is MUCH bigger than any of us expected but none of us would have believed it until now. This is why things seem to have taken so long.
Now, the American public is awake and ready to take back their long forgotten responsibilities to hold the elected officials accountable. I have heard from many of you how upset you are with the obvious and willful disregard for the truth and for justice.
As the days unfold, let’s maintain communications among ourselves and try to help our neighbor to understand what is happening. Turn off the television as they have demonstrated they are clearly only falsifying the media to maintain control over your thinking. Do not despair but pray for our country, for Trump and his supporters, and for a national repentance to be stirred nationwide.
The next 12 days will be something to tell the grandchildren! It’s 1776 all over again!

Let’s suppose all of this does fits down- mass arrests worldwide, Trump and VP is inaugurated- then what? How long will he then stay in office? They are already pushing for impeachment during of his current term. With the Dems in control of both houses, what will stop them from just impacting him after the dust settles? Unless several Dems from both houses are arrested, and/ or results of recent houses elections are overturned ...??
^^^You still need 60% in the Senate to remove the President from office. Even with Romney and the other RINO's they don't have the numbers.
Also if Trump somehow retained the Presidency I would expect most the rats to jump back on the Trump Train as that's what rats do.
They've all been exposed now, Dems and GOP, even Pence, as traitors.
If you don't believe that Trump will remain president, then you also won't believe that these traitors are going to be charged with treason.
Once again, this was all a plan, they waited for them to commit the crime. The crime is complete. The RINOs have been exposed.
I cannot express enough that Trump will remain president for a 2nd term.
When the Emergency Broadcast Alert goes out to our phones, maybe you'll start to see what is happening.
It's all good news, folks. Good things ahead.
2/3, 67 votes. I do think you'd see 17 or more Rs vote to convict. In fact, I'd think 45 Rs would convict now with McConnell leading the way.Quote:

This is valid and what I think will happen.
The Senate is not in session. To be brought back in to do this there must be unanimous consent. Does anyone have the courage to object? No Dems obviously, and any R who'd object, even on procedural or Constitutional grounds, will forever be branded and banished as the one who saved a despicable, criminal president. And the anger by MAGAers at non-objectors further kills the party going forward. Look at Sen. Hawley's career probably dead now from the electoral challenge, and understand anyone stopping impeachment would face the same but worse.
2, impeached, trial starts before noon, Jan. 20 but doesn't finish in time.
3, impeached, trial starts after noon, Jan. 20.
For scenarios 2 and 3, Dershowitz said this:
---
Dershowitz added that "the Constitution specifically says the president shall be removed from office upon impeachment." He said that because it does not say "the former president," the Senate's "jurisdiction is limited to a sitting president," barring the possibility of a trial.
---
Dershowitz argues no, the Senate has no authority to try a private citizen. If the purpose is to prevent him from holding office again, could the same logic apply to trying and impeaching Obama, or any former officeholder? Huge segment of the legal profession will say this is diff, because he was impeached while in office. They'll argue it's like a statute of limitations case, where as long as charges are filed in time.
A small segment with enough courage to speak at this point will say the "remove from office" language in the Const means only current holders can face that.
Ultimately the Supreme Court wouldn't hear any case now, arguing it's a separation of powers issue left to the Congress and the political realm. The only potential time they would hear it would be if Trump ran again some time and was barred from the ballot. He'd have to sue through the courts and appeal to SCOTUS, in which case their upholding of lower courts, or a direct ruling, would be their say.
It's not going to happen. Who would charge the traitors? Who would round them up? Who would convict them? Who would punish them?Quote:

Where’s Nancy today? Not present to vote on impeachment proceedings?

I'm thinking Trump may resign tonight. He knows the House will vote to impeach, and if more than 17 R Senators have already told him they'll convict, it might be his choice.
That was another big fat lie by Fox News, fake news. They had that headline so conservatives would tune in, then they switched the headline to Biden Speaks, so the 100k would have to watch Biden.Quote:

I have to give Beech credit. His faith in all this Q bullshit is unshakeable. When absolutely none of this happens I hope you are going to be okay.
My coworker's wife is down with all this same stuff, and he was telling me to watch for executive order #13959, which will end up being a declaration of war on China. I guess the capital riot was all just a ruse to break in and steal Pelosi's laptop to confirm a few things before going to war with china. lol. I love conspiracy theorists. Even though they are all a bit nutty. :crazy:
I’ve never seen anyone lose it so much. Seriously, shit goes down like that again. Nobody is walking out of any Capitol with anyone’s office shit.Quote:

So this old lady calls in and she got the shot. She described the experience...went to the hospital (had an appointment for it) was escorted by the valet to three very lovely and kind young women who took her to a room with very nice and professional medical staff. She was given the shot and watched for 15 minutes afterwards to make sure there were no "adverse reactions"...everyone was so kind, friendly and professional. She was then led back to her car by the wonderful valet. She described the experience as being extremely pleasant...the highlight of her day, in fact.
So after hearing this I couldn't help but picture Edward G. Robinson being led to his death in the movie "Soylent Green". So pleasant and nice. Of course, he knew what they were going to do to him, but it's debatable if he knew he'd be turned into food for the masses. Maybe they asked him as he entered the building "Would you like to become Soylent Green, Yellow or Red?".
In 1972 I read the book "The Population Bomb" and that was my "introduction" of humans being a parasitic virus to the planet. Prior to that, it was all about playing in the dirt, cowboys and Indians and pure youthful innocence. About that same time a bunch of "ecological" dystopian movies came out. So I was made aware that the future of mankind is being portrayed by some as quite dire, indeed. Since that time, we've all been pummeled with the inevitability of it all...overpopulation, global warming, climate change, ice ages, famines, fires, tornados, hurricanes...you get he idea.
So we're being told by some, including scientists and politicians, that time is running out...in some cases we only have a short number of years before the damage becomes "irreversible". I was reading about when the tundra thaws out, so much methane will be released into the atmosphere that the planet will be rendered uninhabitable The extinction of life on earth.
So what's to be done about that? Banning plastic straws, picking thru your garbage and saving up to buy an electric car 'aint gonna do shit. It very well may be that the people that truly believe this is coming down the pike have made moves to stop it...and what stands in their way? About 5-7 billion people.
Up until lately, I always figured that technology and innovation would keep us ahead of these problems...but not anymore. The perfect world they want is obtainable...they just need to start over with a clean slate. They're not going to wait.
So the lady that got the shot? It very well may be that she was injected with the very thing that will kill her when they unleash the next one. They've been working on biological weapons for decades...you'd better believe they've cooked up something that will do the trick. "First Responders" and the elderly...get them out of the way and there's no one to help all the other inflicted...the elderly are just useless anyway, with the exception of their relatives, of course. Mass murder...but it's OK because they're saving the planet. Look how many people they killed in just the last year...there's no morality for those that see the planet crawling with vermin.
Sounds kinda crazy, huh? Do I actually really believe this? Yes and no...I give it 50/50...and with the way things have been going lately, I think that's quite reasonable.
The military is who begged him to run for President originally, meeting with some Generals for 2 weeks telling him the plans, they finally talked him into it.Quote:

EDIT to my post, so we all know the Military is for Trump. But consider Space Force which was created completely under Trump's control and supervision. The Space Force is not what everybody thinks. It's purposes and scope of things will be revealed soon.
Let me tell y'all one more thing that makes me smile, another way that Trump is driving them crazy.
Trump has gone dark, probably for another week. He's gone from Tweeting multiple times a day and they've always known where he was, to nothing. He had some pre-recorded videos and last messages sent from the Whitehouse while he is elsewhere.
They are in a PANIC, a friggin' panic. Nancy is desperate to get him out by either 25th amendment or impeachment, with 8 days to go. How desperately crazy do you think they are?
So they are trying to track his airplane, call sign Night76 and it's just flying all over the country, but nobody knows if he's really on it. They have NO IDEA where he is, they have been so dependent on tracking him through his iPhone and tweets, and now he's gone dark.
They're never gonna know where the counterpunch comes from.
I'll say this, even though none ay ya are listening to me anyways, but from here to January 20th are going to be EVENTFUL. Remember this week. They may even try a SCARE tactic to make Trump say something and reveal his location. They might try all kinds of stuff to get him to pop up, might even say he died.
Wait it out. Hold the line. Antifa and BLM are staged and standing by in major cities NOW.

Twas the weekend before covfefe, and all thru the land,
The lefties were trembling at the cards in Trump's hand.
The patriots were nestled, all snug in their beds,
While visions of perp walks danced in their heads.
The laptops recovered in a raid days ago,
Shed new light on the crimes of our treasonous foe.
When up on the web there arose such a clatter,
Big tech blocking accounts like free speech didn't matter.
Impeachment was threatened, amendment 25,
"The Trump administration must not survive!"
They screamed from the rooftops, on every news show.
"This bad bad bad orange man has just got to go!"
But Donald J Trump had a card up his sleeve, a card so glorious no one could believe.
You see, he had caught them. He set a big trap.
He knew they would try this election fraud crap.
He watched them all do it, all in real time.
He was sure that Mike Pence would certify their crime.
His intel had told him they'd planned a false flag,
To make sure Trump's destruction was all in the bag.
The Dems told Antifa "Show up in disguise."
"Wear your MAGA hats backwards so no one will get wise."
"When we start the debate, you all storm inside.
Don't worry, the police will open doors wide."
"We will blame all your damage on Trump and his fans,
So never again will Trump thwart all our plans."
Trump knew Dems would do this, he sent special ops,
They dressed like Antifa and grabbed the laptops.
Upon them was evidence of aggregious crimes.
The Deep State had done this crap so many times.
Straight to the military the evidence went.
Charges of treason were now imminent.
No screaming or crying would stop what was to come.
Resignation and prison, and Gitmo for some.
Military tribunals will convict all these traitors.
Who stole an election because they were haters.
When the trials are done and the votes are done right.
Crimes done in the darkness have come to the light...
Trump will be sworn in to finish his eight.
And we will continue to make America great.

Keep your eyes on Pompeo this week
I wondered how the swamp would erase Trump from the GOP... lots of big old nasty Democrat and Republican gators live in the swamp....
McConnell supports Trump impeachment.

Bitch McConnell. His wife is CCP.
When you go out, make sure to do it in a blaze of glory. Only POTUS to be impeached twice. :cool2:

I'm still trying to figure out what Trump actually did that was impeachable. @DirkHammergate, @uintafly, @caverdan -- can you please enlighten me? I'm serious, I have no clue what Trump allegedly did that was so heinous as to deserve impeachment again.
He spent 2 months lying about a stolen election and tried to overturn the will of the people. He then incited a seditious riot of fools who stormed the US Capital for the purpose of capturing and executing congressmen and women in order to prevent the lawful certification of the election. A cop was beaten to death in the process of this attempted coup.Quote:

You on the other hand...you're deeply pissed. That's unhealthy...you realize that, don't you? Believe me...those in charge of our government are going to be just fine...they'll be enjoying wealth, privilege and celebrity as you bang your head against the wall. Take it easy there, sport.
