(1) A quick comment on this: "Our lawyers have asked for “meaningful access”, but what good does that do? The damage has already been done to the integrity of our system, and to the Presidential Election itself. This is what should be discussed!"
(2) I copied the text in case TWTR tries to restrict it.
POTUS is running two-track process, as he always does. One is the legal process, the other is the political one.
He's not questioning the action of his own attorneys, which is based on his instructions. He is...
(3) Sorry, re-doing this tweet because of a typo.
(4) He's adding the political side to it.
Absolutely the lawyers must ask that approved poll watchers from both sides have "meaningful access" to observe ballot counting. Should have had it from the start.
The fact they didn't, could well be decisive in the lawsuit.
(5) The issue of (routine) poll watchers is just one of many legal issues that will almost certainly be decisive in the state by state lawsuits and any national lawsuits that will be needed.
Ds can stop all this any time, by conceding. They won't, so we will "see you in court."
(6) He's right that damage has already been done to the perceived integrity of the electoral system & the election itself.
The way to repair that is through the courts.
I'm very confident Trump will win in court. He will fight hard to win in the court of public opinion too.
(7) It's fair to say that Trump has _already_ won in the court of public opinion. I realize that may sound like a crazy thing to say today but bear with me over the coming weeks.
The size and nature of the swing to the Republican party all over the country is extraordinary.
(8) Democrats are thrilled that media AREN'T saying much about the multiethnic working class Republican party of 2020.
I'm a white middle class female & it really irks me that our big tent coalition is being ignored. The DNC is racist, sexist, homophobic & religiously bigoted.
(9) When they hate on Trump, they really mean you and me. He's just in the way.
When I see their bigotry towards minority groups (of every kind) I get mad about it. So I channel that anger into fighting the left with my words, with the law, and with God.
(10) And whatever "God" means to you is OK with me. Gonna write a separate thread about that later. Prayer to what I perceive as God has been very helpful for me. Enthusiastically supporting religious freedom is one of the keys to winning elections & making America great again.
(11) Trump wants everyone to discuss the damage done to our electoral system. "The system" includes everything: the law, the processes, the role of media, technology, and voter education.
Remember the two-track process.
Fight them in the courts AND the public square.

(1) Headline: "Doctors begin to unlock the mystery behind long-term Covid-19."
Actually, doctors have been working on this for many months but I'm glad they're getting some recognition.
Many kinds of infection can lead to lasting issues. Not just this one.
(2) I think it is something that we, the public, should be more aware of. The aftermath of an infection can be difficult to diagnose, let alone treat. Some are specifically known about, others are vague and general. You don't want to get that kind, trust me.
(3) "Post viral fatigue" is a thing. It can last a few weeks or months then goes away. Or it can last years, or be permanent. It can recur, which makes it hard to distinguish from a new disease process.
(1) The level of Radical Islamic Terrorism in Europe & North America has markedly decreased since Obama left office, but still flares up here & there.
The killing of 3 innocents in Nice, France, is linked to the antisemitism & anti-Christian narratives of Turkey's Erdogan.
(2) The usual outlets eg BBC, NYT etc ran the same pro-terrorist narratives they always do. So I looked elsewhere for info about the attack. I found it at this Australian outlet:
(1) Twitter no longer claims to be an aggregator of trending topics... which was their main value proposition when they launched >12 years ago.
The once-useful side panel is now mere advertising for their TDS-addled buddies.
Re: "growing US political violence" ...
(2) The reporting of political violence (aka terrorism) in the US is now absolutely partisan.
To the left it's all the fault of Trump, always.
To others, it's the fault of the person firing the gun, placing the IED, or bankrolling those people.
(3) Almost all of the terrorism in the US this year has been caused by the left. A very tiny proportion is caused by people the left claims are "right wing" or "conservative" or "Trump supporters."
Predictability, scratching the surface in each case leads to a different result.
(1) Brief thread about the recent election in New Zealand.
The majority of NZ voters are more brainwashed than even I thought they were.
Having now seen one of the worst NZ election results for conservatives in my lifetime, I think we're at the point the USA was, pre-2016.
(2) Remember the USA before Trump entered politics in 2015? (Real) conservatives were despondent, but still fighting as best they could to limit the damage Democrats and the GOPe were doing to the country.
GOPe = Establishment Republicans.
(3) That's what NZ is like right now. So I hold on, protecting myself as best I can, economically & in terms of safety. The chance to put things right has been pushed further out.
Not necessarily for the full 3 years of a term, but probably.
I survived an EQ on 2/22/11 in Christchurch, NZ in which 185 people died and the city's downtown and coastal areas were destroyed. We're _still_ rebuilding.
