What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
I'm sorry, your quoted question just doesn't make sense to me. Try rephrasing?
I'm not so sure that publicly stating a different defense than your actual legal defense is a good idea, especially if that actual legal defense contradicts what you publicly stated. Publicly stating that he intentionally removed these documents means there are several avenues that simply can't be walked down in court.
I'm curious as to what you think the defense will be if it's not executive privilege, and it's not that the docs were planted, and it's not a grand reveal Perry Mason moment.
Ans any good lawyer would tell you, "Commenting anything about a pending litigation is a very bad idea". And yet Trump is commenting. So clearly the case is so cut and dry and there is nothing for Trump to worry about.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I am betting 99% on the "grand reveal" and 1% on "nothing burger" as in timing is not yet aligned. My point was that we cannot ignore this 1% because no one, not a single one of us, knows the timeline. We can only guess that things are going to go down, but there is always a possibility we are wrong.
Man, I thought that was my point.
I remain curious - if you think there's a non-ignorable one percent chance of it not being the Perry Mason Moment (and we know that in grand stories, the "one percent chance" is at least a thirty percent chance), what positive road do you see extending from such an outcome? The confidence you cite Trump displaying certainly indicates a non-standard day (weeks) in court, but confidence is a flimsy shield.
Here is my point as plainly as I can make it: this seems like Endgame either way. This seems like the moment when the buzzer beater shot is released, the bomb's wires are cut at the last second, the arrow is loosed at the underside of Smaug, etc. If the shot is hit, if the right wire is cut, great, but like you say, the chance that the shot is missed and Smaug continues to wreak havoc is significant enough to warrant discussion. I don't see anything good for Trump or the ideologies here down that road. I am both looking to see if people are also viewing things the same way (and if you don't have a better answer than "Trump moves in mysterious ways" that's fine, I'm down with a Deus ex machina), and pointing out a possible avenue that should be mentally prepared for.
Being slippery is good. But without a grand reveal of something not currently obvious to the masses, Trump honestly seems fucked - which in and of itself is a strong argument for this being the moment for status quo-breaking revelations! But if it's not, even a survivor like Trump seems pinned between three large investigations into different sectors. I see this as make or break time, and it is best to be prepared for the possibility of break even as you anticipate and try to push for make.
A lot of people conversing with me, automatically assume either I am for or against something. Most of the time I am simply pointing out the grey zone. I started off this debate agreeing with almost everything you said, except that there is a small chance of a "showdown" not happening right now.
Does it mean Trump is being slippery again? Does it mean there is no plan? What does it mean when I say this?
None of that. It simply means Trump/Q/WHs are moving pieces on the chess board, and while we may think the end is near, we simply dont know if there are more pieces not yet visible on the board that need to align with the timeline.
In the end, everything is about alignment and timing. You are looking at the "Perry Mason moment" for FBI raid. I am saying that the Perry Mason moment will not be isolated just for FBI raid, it will be for every single thing - Jan 6, Ukraine, Fed, FBI, Uranium 1, Clinton Foundation, Assange, China, British Royalty, Child Trafficking - every single thing will come to an head at the same time when the declas starts. This is why its Great Awakening.
I am simply saying that, for us mere mortals it looks like this will happen before the midterms - very soon. I strongly believe thats the case. BUT. There is always a small chance that there are more pieces we cannot see, that needs to align still.
For instance no movement yet with China/Taiwan. Is it going to happen suddenly? Is it happening behind the scenes? Both quite possible. But we just dont know.
Keeping our mind prepared that there may be more pieces to be moved is simply for our own sanity.
I guess I'm still confused as to what could happen to cause there to not be a showdown.
I am not looking for a PMM for just the FBI raid - I believe I have not properly communicated this point. I am seeing the FBI raid as the PMM for the whole kit'n'caboodle. Because, and this is my point, if it's not just a PMM but the PMM, then Trump faces an intense uphill legal battle. I won't say impossible (what with his remade, sympathetic judiciary) but near as.
Also, I said before I didn't think it would be before midterms, and with the news of the Trump subpoena, November 14th seems like the earliest date.
So, looking back on everything, I think this is where we stand: you do see a possibility for a third option, where the FBI raid is resolved and Trump is somehow neither victorious nor hosed, and the game continues for a few more turns. I have been trying to suss out what that option is, not getting that what you were saying is that the third possibility is possibility. You don't have a hard read or long theory on what that possibility is, just that you are acknowledging the constant plays of forces beyond our awareness and control means that there is always the possibility of some unguessable third route. I was trying to squeeze concrete detail from a point that was ambiguous by design.
