I think the best thing Trump could do would be to admit that he has lost and announce that he will spend the rest of his life working, not to make money, but to make good things happen for the common man in America. <br /><br />"If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them." -- Luke 9:5<br /><br />In other words, kick this whole affair to a Higher Court and trust that Jesus was not just blowing hot air when He said that it would be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah than it would be for THAT town. <br /><br />God help Washington D.C. when the day comes.

He certainly didn't use them much in the previous 3 years. He did well on judges and regulations. But someone got in his ear early on about these issues. He made a good appointment to the EPA and he followed the list of judges handed to him from someone else.<br /><br />But he made many other very bad appointments, straight out of the Swamp usually. He could have fired 100s of bureaucrats, maybe 1000s who were working against his policies. <br /><br />I don't think he will or should take extreme action about the election. His attempts to file law suits have gone very wrong. Some of that is on his team's incompetence. Some of that is on the Swamp fighting back. <br /><br />But Constitutionally what can he do really? Does the Constitution give any guidance of what to do if election law isn't followed? No one is playing along with him. Anything he would try to do he needs allies. There don't seem to be any. When it comes down to it the election is a political process. He has lost the politics.RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603112499567064214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-3883738661299707562020-12-16T15:24:44.010-08:002020-12-16T15:24:44.010-08:00I am with you on this.

If Trump actually has put the chess pieces in place for this play - including lulling the enemy into sleep - it might be the greatest deed since Jackson killed the central bank or Washington declined a third term.

If he craps out, the greatest fallen hope EVER!<br /><br />FACT - this election was the greatest steal - EVER! Forget the Constitution - effectively it is a dead letter - but he does have that authority by LETTER!<br /><br />So - from a practical, national and his personal point of view - there is no other choice!<br />Git'er done!<br />Crush Limbrawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511707894293049606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-53866458120022456002020-12-15T18:05:14.811-08:002020-12-15T18:05:14.811-08:00Thank you, Deacon Patrick.Thank you, Deacon Patrick.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-84294909884061386832020-12-15T13:59:21.856-08:002020-12-15T13:59:21.856-08:00The reference to God in the oath also appears out ...The reference to God in the oath also appears out of sync with the practical, if not official, atheism of the political class. The professional clergy seem to be less interested in the Gospel than in not rocking Caesar's boat. Like you ( and the Thomases: Beckett and More) I am not looking forward to martyrdom, but simply requesting a bit more candor, backbone, and a bit less hypocrisy.<br /> On the bright side, thanks to Bible Gateway, I now get a daily passage from C.S. Lewis for reflection. I heard Mike Rowe recommend one of Lewis's writings to Tucker Carlson last week. Tucker is a great evangelist, but he is preaching to the choir. What we need is some recommendations involving, as an expert put it, "What is to be Done?" <br /> Thanks, as always, for your thoughtful and helpful essays on the political philosophical and on Sacred Tradition.. President Elect J. Biden, despite himself, much as Caiaphas had done at another eventful time, played the prophet, announcing a coming dark winter. The coming of Christmas and the glow of our Christmas trees: may they lighten our darkness!<br />A Blessed Nativity to all!Deacon Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07708653111827647244noreply@blogger.com
