Re: "Release the Kraken" ???
I am beginning to honestly believe many of these issues start out as a big juicy steak and then get ground down into a nothing burger by the "deep state" and their counter parts in the media.Ruark wrote: ↑Tue Nov 17, 2020 9:43 amI don't know if you're off or not; we'll find out pretty soon.

Re: "Release the Kraken" ???
I wish they would stop showing their hand before it's time to play it. Gather the information. File the suits. Present the information. The GOP is not going to win in the media. And showing their hand gives the other side time to cover their tracks better because they know what they have. It also gives time to coerce witnesses. Unless they're snowballing them with info to lead them on a different path, I wish they would just put up or shut up.

Re: "Release the Kraken" ???
I'll not say you're necessarily wrong, but one possible justification is that interim announcements help sustain morale. That can be vitally important.parabelum wrote: ↑Tue Nov 17, 2020 9:39 am I fail to see a benefit of coming onto a large platform with such a decisive and bold statement only to then wait days or longer to actually do something, make a move.

Would be interesting to see who they are going to set up to take the fall.Ruark wrote: ↑Tue Nov 17, 2020 11:28 amYou said it.

It's going to be a tough go with a lots of internal (swamp) stonewalling. It has been alleged that the CIA is implicated. I read that it was their facility that the server was in and that they were not briefed in on the seizure operation.
Hopefully they are watching all the players in Dominion to see if anyone panics and would be vulnerable to an immunity deal for turning states evidence. Of course they all would be in fear of reprisals.

The media had the primary role in that, IMHO.parabelum wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 11:36 amWhile I agree that Trump has a unique way to communicate to put it lightly I am not buying that that undid him. He did get a record 72+ million votes, more than any “R” candidate. If he is in fact finished for 2020, then what “undid” him was the communist media along with their domestic and foreign enemies of the State cohorts who seek to destroy us all.Ruark wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 11:03 amTrue, much to my chagrin. I think Trump is a classic case of "his heart was in the right place, but..." Specifically, Trump is not articulate. He doesn't read daily intelligence updates (he watches TV instead), he doesn't speak effectively, or anything requiring the slightest degree of wordsmithing. Many, many times I've heard him say something and thought, "Oh, crap, WHY did he say that????!!!" Then you have his horrific performance in the first debate. He's just not a verbal person. We often talk of Biden screwing up every time he tries to speak. Sometimes I think it's the same thing with Trump, but in a different way.Donald J. Trump, whose manifold personal failings ultimately undid him.
Anyway...... just "release the kraken" already, we're tired of waiting, we're tired of "false alarms."
Agreed; we're tired of the talk.....kinda like Tuco; "If you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."

Re: "Release the Kraken" ???
Still, something clings to hope in the back of my mind. Powell has a distinguished, pristine professional reputation; it's inconceivable that she'd deliberately sign on to some nonsense and risk flushing it all down the toilet and making herself a laughingstock. The tension builds........

At this point, I’m solely holding onto the fact that she wouldn’t ruin her reputation over something she didn’t have the utmost confidence in.Ruark wrote: ↑Tue Nov 17, 2020 4:38 pm Still, something clings to hope in the back of my mind.

Re: "Release the Kraken" ???
The only thing I can think of is saying you have something is akin to shaking the tree to see what else falls out. Some people may think she's talking about them and make moves to cover their activity, and be caught doing something that had not previously been detected.
