Maybe that they were manufacturing them before they tested them? That way when a test showed that the vaccine worked, they could ship them out immediately.

There's a lot of things worth money that can't actually be sold. I think chalices and patens would fit as well as buildings like the sistine chapel. It probably doesn't help that one can always find more to spend on, too. And at that level, spending a million here or there on maybe upgrading churches or creating a new organization to feed the homeless likely doesn't seem like much until you do the math and realize that your income doesn't cover this. The same thing was probably happening with people stealing "just a bit, no one will notice" from the church as well.

I think they'll argue that impeachment isn't a criminal trial and therefore it doesn't count towards double jeopardy.

He'd had time left over, which he reserved, when he finished the first closing. So when the defense finished, he decided to use up some more of his time.

Either way, it's a gotcha question. The lawyer might not believe Trump won but to say that goes against what Trump says. And saying that Trump lost but believed that he won would likely be used as evidence that Trump was lying. If the lawyer believes and says that Trump won, it would likely be used to say that the lawyer is disingenuous and oughtn't be listened to anymore.

I thought I did see someone bring it up in a montage of clips.

Isn't this the guy who said he brought his daughter to work? It didn't sound like his daughter was an adult during that story.

I'm trying to write down a timeline of events for what happened (unfortunately, work is making my progress really slow). It would be interesting to compare that with the planned sequence of events.

One guy (I don't remember his name) is claiming that statements attributed to him are false and wants them stricken from the record. The President is answering a question that was not asked rather than the one that was.

It feels to me like they planned to blame it on Trump's speech, then realized at the last minute that the timeline wouldn't work. That resulted in claims that it was pre-planned, even though that means all these insurrections decided (knowing that they were planning on taking hostages and possibly murdering people) to not use any guns that would help them greatly. If these people were concerned with hitting their allies, then even knives or machetes would have been helpful. It's not as if a few dead police officers would have made things much worse than dead senators.

Who built the noose in the video and how did that person manage it to get it there?

If you served more than 2 years of a term where someone else was elected president, then you can only serve 1 additional term. Otherwise you can serve 2 terms. So the maximum a single person can be president for is really 10 years.

Just wanted to add that it says "Presidents" rather than "Past Presidents" before the 20th. Though I do agree that it's likely that the change was rushed and therefore not thought through properly.

When I turned 18, I began researching news and politics so that, when the next election arrived I would make an informed decision. The Tea Party was occuring at that time and I knew a little bit about it from high school. I had listened to the radio while being driven to school and first heard of the Tea Party through that.

More research showed me how badly the Tea Party was treated. After that, I've been suspicious of what the media tries to tell me.

Someone made a backup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K6xojxPFjk

There was a different channel that had it as well, but it seems to have vanished.

Some of the cases were made by third parties, so they had no standing on which to sue. After all, the election results didn't harm them in any way. There were also cases (complaining about the changes to the way votes were being held due to COVID restrictions) which were told that since nothing had happened (brought before the election), that it wasn't a valid case and they had to wait until they were harmed. And some cases where people were told they should have sued earlier (before election happened rather than after).

There's also the problem that each invididual case of voter fraud wouldn't, by itself, overturn the election.

I remember Rudy Giuliani saying that they had only filed 3 cases, not over 50 at a hearing (I don't have a link right now, but I could try to find one).

The first thing that comes to my mind with Tick Tock (LLC) is TikTok. I think that's an LLC, anyway.

Small detail, but regarding the blank papers, I'm pretty sure that's just the lighting. You can see pictures with Trump that appear to have blank pieces of paper as well. Maybe the text is too small for the camera to pick up?

Apparently, executive orders have more legal "weight" behind them. (https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2019/07/11/executive-action-vs-executive-order-whats-difference/1704893001/)

Based on that, I'd assume that executive actions are easier to overturn than executive orders.

One thing that's interesting (but could use a double check):

20 Jan 2017 to 04 Nov 2020 is 1,384 days.

If this was the case, what would be the reason behind calling in so many National Guard members?

It could be, but I'm not sure yet. Do you know if twitter users are able to control the names of the files that they upload?

I did do a bit more digging regarding the thread. I can't figure out what kind of user the person who posted (FourSeasons) is. I'd need an account to look that up (which I'm not willing to make), but the website itself seems to have only existed for 9 months. (https://www.statshow.com/www/babydiscuss.com)

I looked up FourSeasons to see if anything interesting appeared and discovered this: http://www.asiatraveltips.com/news21/191-GeorgesOjeil.shtml

Basically a man named Georges Ojeil is now the General Manager of the Four Seasons hotel in Beirut. It had to shut down due to the explosion (https://www.hoteliermiddleeast.com/people/122171-new-gm-brought-in-to-oversee-four-seasons-hotel-beirut-reopening).

I also found this in relation to Rudy Giuliani: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Four+Seasons+Total+Landscaping&atb=v256-1__&ia=web
