The Trump Post-Presidency and Insurrection

I just wrote down some scattered parts. I will type those in.I need you to paste a much more clustered area for me.Let me give you the first and last sentences of an entire multi-paragraph cluster. Then I want you to paste everything in between.(My spell check caused the spelling issue)

My phone needs charging. My other phone has a loose sim card that boots me from the internet.Here is one quote, but I have a cluster that covers your post 73 quote. I would have already pasted your post 73 quote if I could. I actually wanted to comment on its referent yesterday. Before you quoted it today.Here is one scattered quote:And we got to remember, in a year from now, you're going to start working on Congress. And we got to get rid of the weak congresspeople, the ones that aren't any good, the Liz Cheney's of the world. We got to get rid of them(I will have more later, phone is at 4% power left)

Seriously? You believe that? Another reality disconnect?

speaking from the peanut gallery, I noticed that you were presenting Percy with a list of excuses. Spellcheck is a legit one... I could never comment on EvC were it not for my trusty desktop typewriter....the smartphone is a torture device from hell.

This is incorrect. Liz Cheney was barely mentioned at all. She was used as a sort of adjective inclusive of Republicans who don't support Trump, and he said she never wanted to bring soldiers home:

And we got to get rid of the weak congresspeople, the ones that aren’t any good, the Liz Cheneys of the world, we got to get rid of them. We got to get rid of them. She never wants a soldier brought home.

That's it. In nearly 11,000 words that's all he had to say about Liz Cheney. Democrats were the most significant target of the speech. Trump's enumeration of Democrat misdeeds was practically half the nearly 11,000 word speech. Here's what he accused them of, all of it false:

• Playing musical drop boxes
• Fake mail-in ballots
• Fake absentee ballots
• Dead people voting
• Illegally and/or unconstitutionally changing voting rules to accommodate the pandemic
• Running the same ballots through voting machines multiple times
• being crooked and corrupt
• Lack of signature verification
• Allowing tens of thousands of illegitimate mail-in votes in Georgia
• The Georgia vote was fraudulent
• Republican poll watchers were excluded
• They faked a water main burst so that they could surreptitiously carry out fraudulent activity
• Felons cast 2500 votes in Georgia
• 36,000 illegal ballots were cast in Arizona
• 150,000 people registered in Maya Copa Country are the deadline
• 103,000 ballots were sent for electronic adjudication with no Republican observers
• ...and on and on

I had to stop, there are just too many accusations against Democrats and too little time to type them all. I'll just refer you back to the speech in Message 28.But the crowd believed this list of malfeasance and was fired up into a frenzy by the sheer magnitude and unabashed shamelessness of Trump's telling of it, none of it true. And apparently, we now learn, in private conversations he's acknowledged that it wasn't true. He's also expressed privately that part of his motivation for running for reelection was that continuing as president would keep his legal exposure to a minimum. This conclusion is in stark contrast to the facts. You need more than just a few of Trump's literal words as you choose to interpret them in isolation. You need to stop closing yourself off from the information and instructions Trump communicated by a combination of words and tone and content in addition to the context of speeches that came before, such as Giuliani's "trial by combat" and Don Jr's "We’re coming for you." Once you have all the information at your command then you might be able to start building a case.--Percy

all he(LNA) is really saying is that he has a lot more that he wants to say and that his patience is limited concerning his smartphones capability and the time it requires for him to effectively argue with you guys. I swear you liberals are on steroids when it comes to hanging Trump. Not that hanging him may not be a necessary lesson that God Himself has prepared for him.

I love the detail and thoughtfully edited expression that you put into your posts. You surely don't type all of this on a smartphone, do you? Edited by Phat, : No reason given.

I didn't think that was the discussion with you. I thought we were discussing your belief that Trump didn't incite insurrection.Your recollection of a supposed statement by Al Gore can't be considered and I don't know why you brought it up. You can't even read Trump's speech and discern the meaning, why should we accept your interpretation of your faded memory of something Gore may or may not have said. If you can find and reference what he actually said and if you think it in some way relevant, only then should you bring it up.--Percy

This, and what follows, sounds like you're confusing my Message 73 about one part of Trump's speech with things I've said in this and other messages about other parts of Trump's speech. I've going to ignore this message. If you think it makes an important point, please restate.--Percy

Say what? I very much want to help people do things they can't do themselves, like upload a document to the website, but this sounds like mere cut-n-pasting.--Percy

You're using a phone to participate here? Wow! Kudos to your patience and tenacity, and to that of some of the others here who I know also use their phones.Phones are only good for texting, short emails, and short message board posts. For longer contributions a real computer with a real screen and a real keyboard and a real plugged-in power cord should be used. I sympathize with your plight, but it's of your own making and I'm not going to help you.--Percy

I am on a phone that boots me at least once every hour. My post can't be long.I prefer to take these things one issue at a time, and the bronco gallops will prevent any clarity.You quoted my response to your post 45.You clearly understood that there is going to be a big debate over who Trump is referring to when he talks about a need to show strength: marchers or Senators. It will gave legal repercussions ( though the Senate will be so political , that its vote to remove should be deemed irrelevant to the actual legal arguments. The witnesses and lawyers will be held in high esteem by myself, with exceptions, of course)I can see you understood because, in the post 73 we are discussing, you put in another quote ( from much earlier in the speech) which represented your attempt to present evidence that Trump was talking about marchers using strength toward something or somebody working at the Capitol.Keep in mind I was still in a mode-of-operation which thought which felt we needed to cover the post 45 (your first selected quote, aside from the big post 28 quote of the entire speech) quote, but let me put that slightly aside, for a moment.Your new post 73 quote, which you felt was evidence, in and of itself, for Trump telling marchers to show strength (further stretched by you to mean physical violence), was the opposite of what I wanted to demonstrate in a future post. This is the quote that I earlier said that I wanted to be able to paste & comment on yesterday, BEFORE YOU POSTED IT TODAY.I feel like your new post 73 quote is going to require debate as to who the ones are Trump wants to be strong. I strongly feel he is referring to members of Congress.Back to your post 45 quote.I dont feel like we spent enough time on this.

Hi Percy- I'm using my phone right now - not a big problem, quite easy and no real issues :-)Edited by vimesey, : No reason given.
