Am I a nutcase? Has Trump's raving finally gotten to me?

Is this what Trump will “reveal” Thursday night?

I didn’t take the time to Google details so I’m doing this from memory.

1. After the 2020 election, one of Trump’s favorite claims was that Venezuela owned Dominion Voting Systems and, thus, Venezuela had rigged Dominion voting equipment to vote for Biden – or some such bullshit. The claims were universally debunked.

2. Trump now has former Venezuelan President Maduro in custody.

3. Dominion Voting Systems was recently sold to a Republican billionaire.

So – on Thursday night, Trump will reveal:


1. Maduro has confessed to rigging the election through rigging Dominion machines.

2. The new owner of Dominion will reveal his investigation has shown that, sure enough, the machines were rigged.

The question now is: AM I A NUT????

But it seems clear that one of the topics he will speak about is the newly discovered “proof” the 2020 elections were “rigged”.

He is Ahab, and the 2020 election is his White Whale.

My father at the end of his life (93) was very similar to Trump.

He was alienated from me and my siblings. He had implied threats against us, that he was holding "all the cards".

But once we viewed him as having limited time and his mental and physical feebleness, we knew he lacked the capacity to harm us.

Well, almost. When he died and his Will was read, he thought he was having the last laugh on us: he disinherited ALL of us. And I'm talking about a $1.5 million estate, which went to his law firm. Yeah, we missed the prospect of money and property, but at the same time, it was laughable. He thought we would be destroyed by being denied both emotional and financial recognition. We're all fine. (Well, maybe not our sister who thought that our brother and I would be punished, not her, the Golden Child.)

So, let's re-group and keep the pressure on Trump, his cabinet, and Congress. We're not giving up.

One thing to remember is that even though a document is stamped "Classified" or even "Top Secret," that doesn't mean its contents are 100% accurate. It only means they are to be revealed to a limited set of people with a need to know.

They are not magic documents revealing all.

There is always a lot of raw information, leads, etc. that ultimately go nowhere, so just because somebody says something, it does not mean that it's true, accurate, etc. I'm sure that there will be a lot of things like that in some of the "intelligence" he intends to share. It will probably end up looking like a lot of the cherry picking and stove piping that happened in the lead-up to the 2003 Iraq War. It will probably be more substantial than anything said in the lead up to the Iran War.
