Not sure what to believe; and that is likely good.

We just need to trust PDJT.

Some of what the Trump team is purposely putting out is fake; some is real. We don’t know which, and neither does the enemy.

Pence was to Trump what GHWB was to Reagan. Deep state plant.

The Executive Branch can only ask. The Judicial Branch need not oblige.

This can’t be true. Why would he do that. What is Trump’s response?

If Pence has full authority under the Constitution to accept or reject electors, no one else can decide for him - not a judge, not Louie Gohmert, no one.

In chess (2D) some moves are tactical which conceal the real move that is about to come later.

Pence is a good man; a stiff, but a good man. Don’t know what he is thinking.

FTA....

....Vice President Mike Pence asked a federal judge in Texas to deny a Republican congressman’s emergency request for a court order that would essentially allow the vice president to reverse Donald Trump’s election loss during a joint session of Congress Wednesday.

Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas should have sued the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives if he disagrees with the established way that Electoral College votes are counted, Justice Department attorneys representing Pence said in a filing Thursday.

“The vice president — the only defendant in this case — is ironically the very person whose power they seek to promote,” the government said. “The Senate and the House, not the vice president, have legal interests that are sufficiently adverse to plaintiffs.”.....

Pence’s first act as vice president was to get Flynn fired and McMaster put in his place. His last act will be to certify the coup.
