Here are the post election interviews for Trump. I am interested if anyone has thoughts on what is he trying to pull off.

BYRON YORK EXCLUSIVE: Trump talks post-election fight

NEWSLETTER EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP TALKS POST-ELECTION FIGHT. The president called on Thursday morning to update the election challenges his campaign is making in several key states. The bottom line from our conversation: No matter what news organizations have projected, Trump says he's confident he will win the states needed to get to 270 electoral votes. He quickly ran through the situation in six states.

"We're going to win Wisconsin," he began. "Arizona — it'll be down to 8,000 votes, and if we can do an audit of the millions of votes, we'll find 8,000 votes easy. If we can do an audit, we'll be in good shape there."

"Georgia, we're going to win," he continued, "because now, we're down to about 10,000, 11,000 votes, and we have hand-counting" — a reference to the coming recount. "Hand-counting is the best. To do a spin of the machine doesn't mean anything. You pick up 10 votes. But when you hand-count — I think we're going to win Georgia." He'll also win North Carolina, Trump joked, "unless they happen to find a lot of votes. I said, 'When are they going to put in the new votes in North Carolina? When are they going to find a batch from Charlotte?'"

Then there are two more — Michigan and Pennsylvania. "The two big states," Trump said, before allowing, "They're all sort of big." In those two, Trump is pinning his strategy on protesting the exclusion of his campaign's observers during critical periods of vote-counting. "They wouldn't let our poll watchers and observers watch or observe," Trump said. "That's a big thing. They should throw those votes out that went through during those periods of time when [Trump observers] weren't there. We went to court, and the judge ordered [the observers] back, but that was after two days, and millions of votes could have gone through. Millions. And we're down 50,000."

It was definitely an optimistic scenario and one at odds with the current state of the race. Wisconsin has already been called for Joe Biden, who has a lead of 20,546 votes. Arizona has just been called for Biden, with a lead of 11,390 votes. Georgia has not been called yet and is headed for a recount, the hand recount that Trump wanted, with Biden leading by 14,057 votes. North Carolina, on the other hand, looks good for Trump. Although it has not yet been called, the president leads Biden by 73,244 votes.

Then, there are Michigan and Pennsylvania. Both have been called for Biden, who has a 148,382-vote lead over Trump in Michigan and a 54,273-vote lead over Trump in Pennsylvania. There is no way that many votes for Trump could appear, so the president's hope is for the protests to work — so far, they haven't — and also, in Pennsylvania, for a judicial victory over the state Supreme Court's unilateral decision to extend the deadline in which mail-in votes could be received. That is a case Trump should definitely win — the state court completely ignored the legislature's constitutional authority to make such decisions — but that does not mean it will make much difference in the vote totals.

Indeed, the picture looks bleak for the president. As he spoke on Thursday, GOP strategist Karl Rove, Hugh Hewitt, and this newsletter noted that it is impossible, or all but impossible, for him to come back in enough states to win the election. At one point in the conversation, the president seemed to consider and then quickly reject the idea of losing. "I'm a guy who realizes — five days ago, I thought, 'Maybe,'" he said, pausing for just a second. "But, now I see evidence, and we have hundreds of affidavits," referring to the testimonials included in his lawsuits.

Democrats and their allies in the press, of course, are demanding that Trump drop his legal challenges. They are nothing more than a "temper tantrum" by the president and Republicans, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday. On the other hand, many in the GOP would prefer to let the process run its course. But one voice on the Left is also arguing that the litigation should go ahead.

"Americans should not worry about these suits," wrote Jed Shugerman, a professor at Fordham Law School, in a Washington Post op-ed. "Indeed, we should welcome them." Shugerman said he does not believe the various Trump suits have any merit and indeed thinks they will all be thrown out of court. That, he said, would highlight their shortcomings.

But then: "It is also a bad idea, as a general matter to object to election law litigation. In two years, or four years — and possibly in two months in Georgia — the shoe may be on the other foot. It would look hypocritical to condemn the very idea of challenging an election result now, only to turn around and do so in different (albeit more legitimate) circumstances."

Whatever the case, Trump is forging ahead. When I asked him how quickly he might turn things around, he said, "I don't know. It's probably two weeks, three weeks." He knows the situation. He has heard many people tell him it's over and time to concede. But at the very least, it is important for his most devoted supporters to see him fighting to stay in office. And he closed with a good-natured warning for everyone who has told him there is no hope: "Never bet against me."

Geraldo talks to Trump on election results, says president is 'frustrated' but still 'strong'

Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera said that after speaking with the president by phone, he has “no doubt” President Trump will run again in 2024 if his election lawsuits don’t alter the results of the 2020 election.

“He told me he was a realist, he told me he would do the right thing,” Rivera, who was offered rare post-election access to the president, told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner on ‘Outnumbered Overtime.’

“Every impression he gave me, Harris, was if the process went against him and he was satisfied that every legitimate vote had been counted and every illegitimate vote had been thrown out... he would surrender.”

Fox News has declared Joe Biden president-elect, but the Trump team has been filing lawsuits in different states alleging mass voter fraud and procedural violations in the vote count -- but has not provided evidence for these claims. On Friday afternoon, Trump tweeted: “This Election was Rigged, from Dominion all the way up & down!”

Trump claimed on Twitter on Thursday that Dominion Voting Systems deleted 2.7 million Trump votes nationwide.

A Dominion spokesperson told Fox News that it "categorically denies any claims about any vote switching or alleged software issues" with its voting systems.

“For years the Dems have been preaching how unsafe and rigged our elections have been. Now they are saying what a wonderful job the Trump Administration did in making 2020 the most secure election ever. Actually this is true, except for what the Democrats did. Rigged Election!” Trump tweeted earlier Friday.

Some on the left have claimed Trump’s resistance to accepting the vote count may signal plans to overturn the election or overthrow the democratic system.

“I got no impression he was plotting the overthrow of the elected government,” Rivera said.

“He's a frustrated man, he's wounded but still strong, he wants to do everything he can to make sure this is a fair result,” Rivera continued. “If this thing goes against him ... I have no doubt this man will rise to the occasion again and run in 2024.”

Rivera added that Trump was "frustrated" with the timing of the coronavirus vaccine development; Pfizer and BioNTech on Monday said clinical data showed their COVID-19 vaccine candidate to be 90% effective.

“I think it's fair to say he's frustrated over the timing of the Pfizer vaccine and how didn't they know two weeks ago this thing was going to be so effective, and it was going to go to the FDA for emergency approval, and why this announcement a week after the election. I think there's great frustration,” Rivera concluded.

The companies expect to produce as many as 50 million doses of the vaccine this year and up to 1.3 billion next year.

I'm calling absolute bullshit. There are ways you do this and literally having troops seize shit in an allied country isn't one of them. The various Hague Conventions on international process have means of performing civil/criminal discovery between countries (like Germany and the United States) who are party to them. None of them involve foreign military troops seizing shit in another country.

Lin Wood was implying the Dominion servers in Frankfurt were Amazon’s. Would it change anything if a US company owned the servers?

I wish I could find it now and it's probably buried deep in this thread but back on Nov 10th, someone had posted a German tweet saying this. It was kind of glossed over because it sounded nuts and was in German. So I guess it ended up being true. That means the Army has had the servers since at least Nov 10th.

I can't find the screenshot of the actual tweet but I have the screenshots of the translation from Nov 10th. Does anyone else remember this?

Edit:
Found the tweet! Also, my fault it was Nov 8th.

I don’t even speak German and I know that’s not good German even if those words exist in their lexicon. I’m not convinced.
