    Exclusive: Dem group warns of apparent Trump Election Day landslide

    By the numbers:*Under one of the group's modeling scenarios, Trump could hold a projected lead of 408-130 electoral votes on election night, if only 15% of the vote by mail (VBM) ballots had been counted.

    Once 75% of mail ballots were counted, perhaps four days later, the lead could flip to Biden's favor.

    This particular modeling scenario portrays Biden as ultimately winning a massive victory, 334-204.

    "The New Normal" seems to be a huge leap backward.

    Convenient for the Left, eh?

    The last time America had a civil war Presidential election, its voting standards and technology enabled it to know the winner the day after Election Day...

    Trump prepares a new fall offensive: Branding Kamala Harris

    https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...-harris-409335

    Drawing on a playbook of caricature and condemnation, Trump’s campaign hopes to chip away at Joe Biden’s lead by presenting Harris as an extreme California liberal.

    And despite Harris’ lukewarm relationship with some anti-establishment progressive groups, they are considering ways to cast her as a champion of the radical left by concentrating on positions she’s taken that run afoul of Biden-style centrism, one of the former vice president’s key appeals to swing voters.



    Lukewarm relationship with some anti-establishment progressive groups, really?

    Biden casting himself more centrist lately but reading scripted messages and answering scripted soft-ball questions, we need to know what these two ideologically really stand for.

    These two deserve the same scrutiny Trump receives.

    Why are contingency plans needed for a legally-prescribed process?

    Hmmm.

    What kind of "Contingency Plans" Chuck and Socialist Commissar Bernie?




    Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has called for a contingency plan in the event that President Donald Trump would refuse to leave office after losing the election — and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has offered his full support to that plan.

    Biden’s flexibility on policy could mean fierce fights if he wins

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...?ocid=msedgdhp

    This reluctance to be pinned down on policy details is central to Biden’s campaign, which has focused on a pledge to “restore the soul of the nation” rather than any particular legislative holy grail. While Biden has issued a raft of proposals, he’s often taken an all-things-to-all-people approach, sometimes making strong public declarations while relying on aides to soothe critics behind the scenes.

    The Biden campaign said the economic recommendations were produced jointly by supporters of Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and were never intended as official policy. “The Biden-Sanders task forces made recommendations to Vice President Biden and to the [Democratic] platform drafting committee,” said campaign spokesman TJ Ducklo. “This anonymous source appears to be confused and uninformed about this very basic distinction.”

    All these activists fully expect they’ll have to fight to hold Biden to his promises after Election Day. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) told SiriusXM recently that if Democrats win Congress and the White House, “we will be damn sure that he will follow through on the proposals that he is supporting right now.”


    Comment

    So while many voters are trying to decide whether the liberal media has it right that Trump is totally inept and/or bat-**** crazy, many are trying to determine if Biden is the ‘centrist’ he proclaims to be, or one beholding to the radical left with a Marxist socialist ideology. Biden must become definitive where he stands to quell worries coming from reports such as:

    Hmmm...

    Essay09.04.2020

    Democrats are laying the groundwork for revolution right in front of our eyes.
    As if 2020 were not insane enough already, we now have Democrats and their ruling class masters openly talking about staging a coup. You might have missed it, what with the riots, lockdowns and other daily mayhem we’re forced to endure in this, the most wretched year of my lifetime. But it’s happening.

    It started with the military brass quietly indicating that the troops should not follow a presidential order. They were bolstered by many former generals—including President Trump’s own first Secretary of Defense—who stated openly what the brass would only hint at. Then, as nationwide riots really got rolling in early June, the sitting Secretary of Defense himself all but publicly told the president not to invoke the Insurrection Act. His implicit message was: “Mr. President, don’t tell us to do that, because we won’t, and you know what happens after that.”


    All this enthused Joe Biden, who threw subtlety to the winds. The former United States Senator (for 26 years) and Vice President (for eight) has not once, not twice, but thrice confidently asserted that the military will “escort [Trump] from the White House with great dispatch” should the president refuse to leave. Another former Vice President, Al Gore, publicly agreed.

    One might dismiss such comments as the ravings of a dementia patient and a has-been who never got over his own electoral loss. But before you do, consider also this. Over the summer a story was deliberately leaked to the press of a meeting at which 100 Democratic grandees, anti-Trump former Republicans, and other ruling class apparatchiks got together (on George Soros’s dime) to “game out” various outcomes of the 2020 election. One such outcome was a clear Trump win. In that eventuality, former Bill Clinton White House Chief of Staff John Podesta, playing Biden, refused to concede, pressured states that Trump won to send Democrats to the formal Electoral College vote, and trusted that the military would take care of the rest.

    The leaked report from the exercise darkly concluded that “technocratic solutions, courts, and reliance on elites observing norms are not the answer here,” promising that what would follow the November election would be “a street fight, not a legal battle.”

    Two more data points (among several that could be provided). Over the summer, two former Army officers, both prominent in the Democrat-aligned “national security” think tank world, wrote an open letter to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in which they urged him to deploy the 82nd Airborne Division to drag President Trump from the Oval Office at precisely 12:01 PM, January 20, 2021.

    About a month later, Hillary Clinton declared publicly that Joe Biden should not concede the election “under any circumstances.” The old English major in me interprets the word “any” to mean “no,” “none,” “nada,” “niente,” “zero,” “zilch” “bupkis”…you get the idea.

    This doesn’t sound like the rhetoric of a political party confident it will win an upcoming election.

    The Cover-Up in Plain Sight

    These items are, to repeat, merely a short but representative list of what Byron York recently labeled “coup porn.” York seems to think this is just harmless fantasizing on the part of the ruling class and its Democratic servants. For some of them, no doubt that’s true. But for all of them? I’m not so sure.

    In his famously exhaustive discussion of conspiracies, Machiavelli goes out of his way to emphasize the indispensability of “operational security”—i.e., silence—to success. The first rule of conspiracy is, you do not talk about the conspiracy. The second rule of conspiracy is, you do not talk about the conspiracy.

    So why are the Democrats—publicly—talking about the conspiracy?

    Because they know that, for it to succeed, it must not look like a conspiracy. They need to plant the idea in the public mind, now, that their unlawful and illegitimate removal of President Trump from office will somehow be his fault.

    Never mind the pesky detail that the president would refuse to leave only if he were convinced he legitimately won. Remember: Biden should not concede under any circumstances.

    The second part of the plan is either to produce enough harvested ballots—lawfully or not—to tip close states, or else dispute the results in close states and insist, no matter what the tally says, that Biden won them. The worst-case scenario (for the country, but not for the ruling class) would be results in a handful of states that are so ambiguous and hotly disputed that no one can rightly say who won.Of course, that will not stop the Democrats from insisting that they won.

    The public preparation for that has also already begun: streams of stories and social media posts “explaining” how, while on election night it might look as if Trump won, close states will tip to Biden as all the mail-in ballots are “counted.”

    The third piece is to get the vast and loud Dem-Left propaganda machine ready for war. That leaked report exhorted Democrats to identify “key influencers in the media and among local activists who can affect political perceptions and mobilize political action…[who could] establish pre-commitments to playing a constructive role in event of a contested election.” I.e., in blaring from every rooftop that “Trump lost.”

    At this point, it’s safe to assume that unless Trump wins in a blowout that can’t be overcome by cheating and/or denied via the ruling class’s massive propaganda operation, that’s exactly what every Democratic politician and media organ will shout.

    Stop the Presses

    What then? The Podesta assumption is that the military will side with the Dems. There are reasons to fear they might. The Obama administration spent a great deal of political capital purging the officer corps of anyone not down with the program and promoting only those who are.

    Still and all, determining the outcome of an election would be the most open political interference possible from our allegedly apolitical military, and it’s plausible that the brass won’t want to make its quiet support of the ruling class agenda that overt. The aforementioned Chairman has already stated that the military will play “no role” in the outcome of the election. That’s probably not a feint, but one wonders if it will hold given the obvious attempt to influence military thinking by people like Jeffrey Goldberg in his recent Atlantic essay.

    Can the Dems rely on the Secret Service to drag Trump out? I have my doubts on this one. I’ve seen the Service up close; it really is (or strongly appears to be) apolitical. It has a job to do: protect the president, whoever that is. Officers take that job very seriously. If they don’t believe Trump lost, I don’t think they can be counted on to oust him. On the other hand, were they to believe he did lose and was refusing to leave—a scenario I find impossible to imagine but the Democrats insist is just around the corner—it’s possible the Service might act.

    Barring all that, what’s left? Remember that phrase from the Dem war game: “street fight.” In other words, a repeat of this summer, only much, much bigger. Crank the propaganda to ear-drum shattering decibels and fill the streets of every major city with “protesters.” Shut down the country and allow only one message to be heard: “Trump must go.”

    I.e., what’s come to be known as a “color revolution,” the exact same playbook the American deep state runs in other countries whose leadership they don’t like and is currently running in Belarus. Oust a leader—even an elected one—through agitation and call it “democracy.” The events of the last few months may be interpreted as an attempted color revolution that failed to gain enough steam, or as a trial run for the fall. Is the Trump Administration prepared?

    Here’s one thing they could do: play their own “war game” scenario so as to game out possibilities and minimize surprises. They should also be talking to people inside and outside of government whom they absolutely trust to get a clearer sense of who on the inside won’t go along with a coup and who might.

    They also need to set up or shore up—now—communication channels that don’t rely on the media or Big Tech. Once the ruling class gives word that the narrative is “Trump lost,” all the president’s social media accounts will be suspended. The T.V. channels, with the likely exception of Fox News, will refuse to cover anything he says. Count on it. He’s going to need a way to talk to the American people and he has to find the means, now.

    For the rest of us, the most important thing we can do is raise awareness. If there is a conspiracy to remove President Trump from office even if he wins, they’re telling you about it precisely to get you ready for it, so that when it happens you won’t think it was a conspiracy; you’ll blame the president. Don’t be fooled.

    Protests and violence: It ain’t over till the left says it’s over

    Strange ‘secrete’ report coming from a media outlet whose bias rating is left of center. Is this the face of the ‘left’ and biased mainstream media; and why the radical left refuses to speak on law & order? Aggression and intimidation by organizations established to promote social justice directed at peaceful diners?

    The Left Secretly Preps for MAGA Violence After Election Day

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-le...r-election-day

    The progressive coalition Fight Back Table has been meeting to game out what happens if Joe Biden doesn’t win by a landslide. It’s not pretty. Last week, a coalition of leading progressive groups gathered on Zoom to begin organizing for what they envision as the post-Election Day political apocalypse scenario.

    Put together by the Fight Back Table—an initiative launched after the 2016 election to get a constellation of lefty organizations to work more closely together—the meeting dealt with the operational demands expected if the November election ends without a clear outcome or with a Joe Biden win that Donald Trump refuses to recognize.

    And they pored over a report from the Transition Integrity Project, a bipartisan group formed in 2019, that analyzed various election-season scenarios and made clear the type of rat****ery, corruption, and chaos that potentially was ahead. “The potential for violent conflict is high,” the report noted.

    Some of the hurdles were straightforward: how you “occupy ****, hold space, and shut things down, not just on Election Day but for weeks,” explained one source familiar with the Democracy Defense Nerve Center operations.

    The nominal point person for the FBT on these and other efforts, source say, is Deirdre Schifeling, a former top official at Planned Parenthood. Schifeling did not return a request for comment. The coalition includes labor groups, like SEIU and the American Federation of Teachers, social justice entities like Color of Change, and progressive movement outfits like Indivisible and MoveOn. It is also collaborating with mission ally Protect the Results, a group of 80-plus left-of-center and some NeverTrump entities that are also planning mass mobilization in more than 1,000 locations across the country.

    Heres a good article to give insight into the #DNC #Obama #Biden agenda = https://www.theepochtimes.com/eliseo...n_2748588.html

    What if, indeed?

    The mainstream media’s hatred for Trump is so palpable the reporting often is misguided, manipulative and distorted and bordering on the ridiculous - not in the public’s best interest. Hopefully, the public does take the time and make the effort to review multiple media outlets to make a sound voting decision.

    What If, in Those Violent Cities Run by Democrats, the Politics Were Different?

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ar...nt_144152.html

    So, what if, rather than liberal Democratic mayors in Democratic towns being overwhelmed by violence, things were reversed?

    So, what if, rather than liberal Democratic mayors in Democratic towns being overwhelmed by violence, things were reversed?

    What if these were Republican mayors, in red states, overwhelmed by violent protests from the right wing, confronted by people in MAGA hats or those middle-aged anti-tax tea party activists who always seemed to clean up after themselves when they protested?

    What if they were the ones rioting, burning and looting during their "mostly peaceful" protests, with bail money for the arrested provided by the staff of a Republican presidential candidate, and media making it clear there was great political value in the violence?

    The hard- left wing of the Democratic Party drives things and Biden dare not condemn them.



    Hannity: Democrats, media mob align to defeat President Trump at all costs

    Gutfeld on Biden blaming Trump for violence

    https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/riot...n-greg-gutfeld

    Biden has already 'walked-back' a few of his earlier 'promises' that were ridiculous but got cover from the mainstream media. Where have you been Mr. Biden? More importantly, where are you going? Who is driving your bus?

    Yes, Mr. Biden, now that you 'woke' to the violence, what are your plans to stop it? Or, has the Democratic Party lost control over the anarchists, or simply not caring until the election is over? The mainstream media's mantra that 93% of the protests are peaceful is not selling to a public that holds public safety sacrosanct.

    Trump lied: Point / Counterpoint

    CNN, the Washington Post, and the New York Times reveled in castigating president Trump in their report on the Bob Woodward book. They cast Trump as a liar and the cause of countless Covid deaths through his delay in announcing and addressing the seriousness of the virus and his lack of empathy. The following are some excerpts from their reports:

    Even for a President known for being unscripted in his comments to the public, Trump's 18 conversations with Woodward offer an intimate snapshot of his unfiltered thought process and impulsive behavior. More often, he is suspicious: "You're probably going to screw me," Trump says. "You know, because that's the way it goes."

    The interviews revealed that Trump was not candid with the public about the dangers of Covid-19, with the president telling Woodward he was “playing it down” even though it was possibly five times “more deadly” than the flu. “I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic,” Trump said in one audio clip released Wednesday.

    As the White House and Trump campaign sought to tell a different story this fall about their handling of coronavirus, the book’s release is renewing attention on the president’s early missteps in a crisis that continues to disrupt hundreds of millions of American lives

    New York’s Governor Cuomo even goes so far as to declare president Trump “caused the Covid outbreak in New York,” adding that the federal ban on travel from Europe was “too little, too late.”

    So why did Woodward wait until September, when he had a book coming out, to highlight the contradiction in a populist leader's remarks to his base and his private comments to a long-time member of the Beltway press corps? He needed the time to fact check, Woodward, a reporter for The Washington Post, told the Associated Press on Wednesday. (Yeah, wink, wink!)


    Other side of the story

    The following political analysis supports what many in the public believe to be the truth behind this latest ‘bombshell’ report from the mainstream media and mob - as nothing more than a hysterical screed to distract from reality and the issues that will impact election outcome.

    If anyone did not consider the severity of the virus from day one, the best that can be said of that individual is they are ‘naïve’.

    Democrats downplayed coronavirus while Trump took action

    Indeed; truly an example of Trump's skill in Presidential leadership. The President took the pandemic seriously, but did not want to create panic; the earmarks of a strong, confident leader. In fact, it was Trump who shut down travel to China in January, while Leftist actors urged participation in large group events.

    Historically, strong Presidents quietly pursued prudent action and crisis management, while presenting a public face of calm and confidence; not panic, hopelessness, and fear. In that regard, it seems to me that for Bob Woodward, history began and was frozen in the 1972 and 1973 time period, and he apparently holds the singular, obsessive standard that it can only move forward on one thematic road: The indiscriminate destruction of any Republican President, Presidential skill and virtues notwithstanding.

    If such is not the case, why is it that he simply appeared not to take into account these previous applications of Presidential process. To wit:

    (1) Did not Franklin Roosevelt in his first words as President urge the nation away from "fear."

    (2) JFK during the Cuban Crisis manipulated his schedule so as not to create suspicion and panic until he decided on a strategy to remedy the threat.

    (3) Did not LBJ permit press coverage of his arrival back in Washington on November 22, 1963, lest the world think "we are in a panic."

    Also on November 22, 1963, why did not the media or government actors highly focus on the "coincidental" fact that the telephone system for Washington, D.C. and Virginia inexplicably and massively collapsed at a critical, dangerous time?

    (4) On the day President Reagan was shot, was not the White House, for a myriad of reasons, careful to downplay the fact that Reagan was near death?
    It seems to me that historically, those leaders who incited panic, hysteria, and exaggeration frequently did so in order to advance a dark agenda.

    Just some examples:

    Hysteria attended the Reichstag Fire. That hysteria resulted in THe Enabling Act.

    The hysteria applied to shooting of a German diplomat in Paris by a Jewish youth resulted in Kristallnacht.

    Mysterious, if not fictional, 1964 occurrences in the Gulf of Tonkin were twisted, if not highly exaggerated, by a breathless Lyndon Johnson who said "Our boys are floating in the water," in order to acquire a Congressional Resolution which resulted in the deaths of over fifty thousand Americans.

    Of course, the April Glaspie meeting with Saddam notwithstanding, the panicy visions of Iraqi tanks smashing down the Saudi coast road to seize the world's oil supply was kind of hysterical, eh?

    And, where were those weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?

    Nah, in my opinion, it is the leader who applies the calmer* public face and response, that achieves the more noble the outcome. But hey, do not some people value the adage "Never let a good crisis go to waste?"
