Sometimes I wonder if the best response might be to just tell these folks “Yes, you won. The Supreme Court, in a secret session, overturned the election results, and now Trump is President again.”, and then just ignore them. Until they commit crimes based on that belief, of course, and then arrest them, and let them wail and scream for Trump to pardon them. ---

In fear of getting into a bit of a tangent, it did not work for Harold Camping. It _really_ did not work for Harold Camping. I felt like there was a lot of similarities between Lindell and Camping. They both possessed secret knowledge, doubtless spent considerable amounts of their own fortune to propagate the lie, and of course their predictions have not come to pass. I can at least say Camping was sincere, and eventually humbled. One hopes my comparison continues to hold true. ---

Following the heretical factions of Christianity is an exercise in goalpost-moving. First it was “Trump will be reinstated because thousands of Democrats will be arrested by the military before Inauguration Day, including Biden.” (prophet Chris Yoon) Then another prophet said, “Trump may not be _actual_ president on Earth, but he’s reigning _spiritual_ president!” With Katherine Kerr, first it was “the Republican Party will win every single presidential election from 2016 through 2036.” Then after Election Day 2020, it became “Trump will prevail very rapidly over Biden, this thing will not drag on for a long time.” Then it became “Even if Biden is inaugurated, Trump will be made president again because justice will prevail!” First she said Trump would win in a landslide, but then after Election Day “clarified” that a “landslide” didn’t mean winning in a rout, but rather, a landslide means the ground and stuff is moving which exposes the corruption hidden beneath. Finally, of course, 8/13 became Trump Reinstatement Day, which didn’t happen. There are many good Christians who oppose this utter nonsense, of course. But the cancerous delusion is too strong in many circles. ---

Trump was in fact re-inaugurated yesterday. Now, of course you didn’t see any coverage of that in the Fake Mainstream Media, because none of them are covering it, because of course they aren’t. That alone convincingly proves that it’s true. In other news you didn’t see, Trump is beginning to assemble his Cabinet (which, we _did_ see in the news, he met with a week or so ago). A few front-runners appear to be: Mike Lindell for Secretary of State; Flynn for SecDef; Lou DeJoy for Secretary of Commerce; Ivanka for Treasury. ---

> [@Great\_Antibob](#): > > I’ve seen CTs that he was sworn in back in March and the “Biden Administration” is some kind of 15th dimensional chess move being played for reasons beyond human ken And having the Biden “Administration” undo so many of Dear Leader’s accomplishments is a true masterstroke: it will lull Antifa into a state of complacency, so that the impact of the inevitable hammer blow will be so much harder when it falls (and the liberal tears so much sweeter). Then things will be restored to their proper state in short order because the opposition has been routed. ---
