Edit, to avoid a double post: CNN is saying that Kushner and Melania are telling trump to give up. Who knows if it'll go anywhere, but it's a positive sign.

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/08/politics/jared-kushner-donald-trump-concession/index.html

Apparently the opposite may be true.

I feel like the only purpose of this, besides grifting, is the super spread of Covid as much as possible to gently caress with Biden. Because yes, Trump would be that petty of a shithead.

It's been a while since this has been an obvious thing, but reporters' sources are outright lying to them, and lying to their other sources. It's an absolute mess of lies in all directions within the administration right now.

Wait, why would he need the rallies to do that? I thought you could get anything recounted if you were willing to pay for it.

Well, I said he'd win the election or lose and take the rest of the country down with him. That would do it.

President Trump plans to brandish obituaries of people who supposedly voted but are dead — plus hold campaign-style rallies — in an effort to prolong his fight against apparent insurmountable election results, four Trump advisers told me during a conference call this afternoon.

The thing that worries me about this is his supporters are the kind of chuckle fucks that would take it as their duty to track down the people he identifies and make their lives hell.

“Q Clearance Patriot” started out as a single poster but yes, it’s likely that there are a number of people controlling the QCP persona at this point, and that most but not necessarily all of those individuals are a coherent group.

It’s entirely likely that there have been several Q’s but it’s difficult to discern given how 8chan or 8kun or whatever it’s called today is set up. The “anonymous” moniker comes from how whoever posted the first Q stuff like was an “anon” (again an 8chan feature).

Wouldn't matter if they tried it at this point if the map is set as it is. They'd need to find another 18 EC votes controlled by a republican trifecta, that doesn't have laws preventing faithless electoring, and are suicidal enough to invite the kind of civil unrest such a play would bring

All my conservative contacts moving to Parler in a huff. A little worried considering most of them were posting pre-election wondering how Trump could lose since all they saw was MAGA signs and 90% of their friends were Trump supporters. The echo chamber is just going to get stronger.

I know this is yet another CNN article, but holy poo poo, they're just loving throwing Trump under the bus now.

CNN posted:

[Biden's] steps to set the tone of his administration come despite the unprecedented spectacle of a President who has lost the election declining to accept reality. Sources tell CNN that Trump campaign aides are considering their own aggressive strategy -- not to finally tackle the virus that has killed more than 237,000 Americans -- but for the President to possibly hold rallies to bolster his false claims that his second term has been stolen.

[...] the President remains locked in his manufactured reality in which he won the election, despite Biden passing the 270 electoral votes needed to reach the White House, while flinging false claims that his presidency is being stolen.

Trump's overwhelming concern for his own priorities, not surprising for anyone who watched his presidency, is still remarkable given the rapid worsening of the pandemic.

I could quote half the loving article. It's beautiful.

Long story short-

The equivalent of a password for 4chan for Q's account was hacked early on (it was "Matlock"), and for a while tons of people were posting poo poo under it. Q people know it's compromised now

When 8kun/8chan split off from 4chan, the site owner did a totally obvious thing where he and "Q" posted back publicly and "verified" that it was Q.

There is a reason it's mostly not-online people who get sucked into this thing. John Titor or Serpo were more believable internet hoaxes compared to Q.

Also from my understanding, it’s illegal to do so under Pennsylvania. I’m interested in finding out what states would allow this, but I haven’t been able to find any yet (ie a list, I haven’t really dug around state laws too much).

Also that’s very smart of the PA Republican leadership to just put the kibosh on that right away, because I know everyone thinks of Pennsylvania as having a ton of guns in the middle of the state, which is true, but Philly’s resident can clap your rear end pretty drat well itself.
