The Day After

Here's the link to soon-to-be former President Trump's Farewell Speech. It's not easy watching, I can tell you that. But we boldly do what we must, right?

2) I am just past 1 1/2 minutes in, and found my planned method to have failed. My plan was to watch the whole thing, and then commence responding after. This won't work. Why? Just over 90 seconds was enough for me to see a politician speaking. First time I ever thought that.

3) There are already many reasons. But one will suffice. He thanks Mike Pence. That, my friends, is something I'll never be able to unsee. I know, perhaps it's merely political theater and who knows where all that stuff goes? But it is unacceptable to me. Viciously so.

4) That is a stopping point. Not that I'll not watch the rest. Not that I believe in my own instant reaction. I don't. I just note them, seriously. But I also don't oppose my own mind, when I have the clarity and presence not to do so. But I must share the actual thoughts.

5) I came to the task of watching and commenting, this morning, with more than an open heart. I was ready to sign up and actually register as a member of the new Patriot Party (we'll talk about that more, later this morning) with hope renewed in my heart.

6) From the moment, last night, that I heard Trump was seriously considering creating this new party, I was ready to dive all in, as if it were 2016 all over again. No holds barred. In this moment, that is no longer true. There's a good chance, still, that I'll join. But...

7) But what about Pence? I always leave open the room to change my mind. I am often wrong. I publish these moments boldly. There is no shame in being wrong. This may well be just such a moment of wrong headedness. BUT...I can't not upchuck at the thought of Trump/Pence 2024.

8) Have I mentioned that I am terrible at finding video clips when I need them? There were two interviews Pence did with Chris Wallace following the Flynn situation in early 2017. The two were set pieces, 100% orchestrated and with hindsight, pure evil. Pure evil.

9) I've finally opened up about that story recently, due to Pence's betrayal on January 6, a day that will go down in infamy in America's history. The consequences of that day have been far from completed. On that day, I finally came to fully understand Pence's actions in 2017.

10) The video record is there. 1st interview, Pence says Flynn didn't say this or that, oh no. In that moment I smelled the rat. Then, in 2nd interview, Pence sanctimoniously agreed with Flynn's firing. You could almost see the chuckling and chortling of the two after filming.

11) As I've shared, in the coming years I did everything I could to, not let go of, obviously, but to soften my fierce judgment and literal nausea of the 2nd most powerful man in America, and the MAGA VP. You have to think about that. The MAGA VP. I can't let go.

12) I'm asking. How many of the traitors that surrounded Trump were emplaced there by Pence? Look at just two. H. R. McMaster and Robert O'Brien. The two National Security Advisors who succeeded Flynn. Both betrayed Trump. Both were Pence supported hires. Do you follow?

13) Allow me to share. I was there on the sidelines looking in during the transition. It was horrible. From November 10 forward, none of us knew what to do. I had nothing to analyze, and no help to offer. I was dazed and confused and I'm telling you, so was the rest of the team.

14) My analysis, such as it was, was simple. We had all given more than our all to fight the fight for November 8. I don't believe a one of us placed a single moment's effort into what would happen on November 9 & 10 and forward. November 8 was a black hole moment in time.

15) I have to say that another way. November 8 was so great a burden, no mind dedicated to its winning could possibly allow a moment's thought to November 9. I certainly couldn't. And I know without question, no one else was able to either. I forgive us all for that.

16) But as days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, until Flynn's ouster was effectuated, it never appeared to me that any of us recovered from the terrible price of winning. Mind blinded by that, I never saw the evil lurker using his evil powers. I wasn't looking there.

17) Chris Christie is a clown. An evil clown, but nothing more than that. He claimed to lead the transition, before I learned he wasn't even on the transition team. Who led the transition team? Mike Pence righteously (I'm being sarcastic) led the transition team.

18) It has to be said. That transition was not only one of the most difficult experiences any of us ever had, it was likely the worst, least professional, and most destructive transition in American history. I'm confident Biden's will not suffer 1/10th of that for his needs.

19) Until January 6, 2020, I could not possibly have understood why that transition was so terrible. I now know why. It was led by a traitor. Yes, #PenceIsJudas. For few minutes on the 6th I snagged a Twitter trend with that hashtag, till Twitter figured out what it really meant.

20) I'll try to let go in a moment. If Pence is Saint John the Beloved, and NOT Judas, then someone is going to have to help me see my error.

Alas. Enough said, I suspect. But I'll likely return to point when discussing the proposed Patriot Party, later.

Back to speech...

21) I'm at about 2:45. This is obviously going to be a slow slog. Unity. Trump is preaching unity, now. I'd love unity too. It's a great slogan. Hell, Hillary Clinton taught us that we're Stronger Together. I apologize. I am gagging again. Unity? No. Fight. Not unity. Victory.

22) We were unified in 1913 when we took the worst turn in all of America's history. We passed new, and the most destructive amendments of our Constitution's storied history like eating pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast under Presidentus Horribilis Wilson. That's unity.

23) I won't linger on point. Unity is NOT the answer. Fighting to Make America Great Again AGAINST all of America's internal enemies is what is required. We are at war within America, for America's destiny. Unity = Surrender. It is a politician's palliative.

24) I am sorry to say it, but at 2:45 in, I call two strikes so far. A politician's speech.

Returning to the message...

25) I'm at 3:04. Third strike. More about unity. But worse. Apology for January 6, again. The day Pence is betraying America inside, Trump is now apologizing for what was obviously a false flag operation on the other end of the mall. I suppose I have to talk about that.

26) What violence occurred was both evil and planned, coordinated. As I love Trump, and I do, I know he did not plan this. He was, I am so sorry to state, its Patsy. The evil doers pull this off and what is Trump doing here? He's disavowing it. Okay, but not good enough.

27) With shocked amazement, I'm there. My judgment is complete. Trump has failed in this message. The events of January 6 were the worst moment in American history. Not due to some idiotic fake at insurrection. Rather, due to the collapse of the Republican claim to integrity.

28) Friends, failure is failure. This is failure. It was The Cabal that orchestrated the false flag operation on the Capitol on January 6. That's their job, and they're good at what they do. I don't blame them for their success. Oh no. I blame their Patsys, their helpful idiots.

29) To disavow the violence is the easiest and most obvious of things. It should be but a precursor to laying blame on the true perpetrators. Trump lays no blame. I say again, Trump lays no blame.

I'll go try to watch some more to see if I'm wrong.

30) Up to 3:40 good point next. "I knew the potential for America was boundless, as long as we put America First."

That's the Trump I gave my allegiance to. Let's see what comes next.

31) Friends, I'm up to 4:50 and I'm breaking. I think I understand his plea for victory. His accomplishments are more than heroic or historic. They're beyond anything any of us might have hoped, considering the perfidy he face without and within. Granted.

32) But this speech has lost me. Oh, I'll come back and watch the rest, to be sure. Not now. Give me a moment, and I'll express my judgment...

33) Here it is. This is not the Trump I hired. No, obviously, millions upon millions of us hired him. I'm just one of us. But I am me. And I take responsibility for what I support. And this is not the Trump I hired. That Trump would NEVER whitewash defeat into a claim of victory.

34) We won. Okay. We lost the House in 2018. Now, here it is 2020's outcome, and we have nothing. We don't have House, Senate, or White House. But what are we doing here? We're celebrating all we got done. No. No Sir. No. This is defeat. And surrender.

35) There is no dishonor in defeat. How not? You may have done every last thing in your power to win, but simply did not have victory in your hands. You analyze and learn from that, and show up fighting all over again. That's honor.

36) There are times to surrender. General Lee at Appomattox is one of the greatest moments of honorable surrender in history. There need not be dishonor in surrender, but its conditions are stringent. You must first have done all you could. All you could.

37) At almost 5 minutes, I have not heard that phrase. "I did everything in my power to defeat the forces of evil in our nation who stole this election, but it was simply outside the realm of my powers to do so. We won this election. They stole it. But I was unable to stop them."

38) In this moment, I don't feel that I have the right to address a President who's failure I am decrying. I never signed up to be a critic. I have been the most faithful follower I was able to be. But I am, I hesitate to say it, abandoned.

39) I, we, did NOT hire a politician. One who may call failure success at will. We hired a hero who claimed to tell us the truth, unvarnished by political normality. The first five minutes of this farewell have failed. Utterly. I will watch the remainder another time.

40) Even as I try to wrap down, I find my heart hardening in rage and fury. Pence? Thank you Pence?

Pence is a traitor. Pence is Judas.

Thank you?

That is political speak. Thank you. No.

No thank you.

41) As those who've followed my story know, I never even attempted to vote before 2016. I attempted, but failed then, as for some reason my registration was not successfully completed. My first actual vote was 2018. My first Presidential vote 2020.

42) It may well be that my first was my last. I do not see a current or ready path to voting in 2024, what, for Trump/Pence? You have to be kidding. I turn now to what generosity I'm able, but it won't be much.

43) I used to try to offer Pence the cover of having been taken in, an unwitting Patsy. Yates, Valerie Jarrett, Obama's henchmen at the perfidious FBI, etc., all took Pence in and he was just their unwitting, idiotic sucker. That was me being nice. And stupid, myself.

44) I could not have been more wrong. Pence was as evil as my mind and heart told me he was watching him on Chris Wallace both times. As evil as he proved himself to be on January 6, 2021. And yet, idiot that I remain, I'm not able to disallow Trump the same cover.

45) Here's how it may look. Pence says to Trump, 'Sir, there was no fraud in Georgia. Sidney Powell and Lin Wood are extremists. They have no proof. Every court case has shown the same thing. Dominion is not evil, Sir. Neither is Sidney, but she's wrong, she's an extremist.'

46) I pause. Who remembers Uriah Heep from Dickens' story David Copperfield? He has the syrupy voice of Satan as he whispers evils in your ear. 'You need me. It's understandable. No one could possibly bear your burdens alone. Let me help you.'

47) I'm going to need some time. My emotions are overwhelming my rationality. I honor my emotions. I am repulsed. I am convulsed. I am, obviously, enraged. Pence? He is no John. He is Judas. A great force would be required to persuade me otherwise.

48) I do not get to slink away and lick my wounded idiocies. If Trump thanks Pence, then Trump is...

Wrong.

Trump has thanked Pence.

Give me another moment.

49) I'm not read in. No one asks me for my counsel. As I did in 2016, I still lob it in as a volunteer. Clearly, I'm about worth as much as I am paid. My counsel is not heeded, not welcomed. I know, this is not about me. Well, no. It is. Precisely as it is about you.

50) We elected Trump/Pence 2016. Imagine that now. We elected a Judas VP. And, when Trump thanks Pence now, we elected a Patsy President who still thinks his Judas is his John.

Wound licking to be worked on.

I sign out for now.

Today's thread ends at #50. I am not promising when next thread will come. I had hoped, with all my heart, to take some time off by today. I may. I may not. I don't yet know.

Best to you all.

I shall return. Just don't know when.
