Makes the upside down flag at Alito’s home all the more obvious.
Chris Swart (@BwanaChris) posted at 8:11 AM on Fri, May 17, 2024:
The intricacies of this insurrection were orchestrated to buy time for Justice Alito’s intervention. How delightfully Machiavellian. The audacity and ineptitude interwoven in this plot is nothing short of a tragicomic marvel.
Sidney Powell’s latest revelations serve as the punchline to this ludicrous coup attempt. The strategy was to delay the certification, to obstruct the democratic machinery just long enough for a Supreme Court justice to intervene. Yet, their plan failed to anticipate one crucial variable: Nancy Pelosi’s indefatigable resolve.
It’s almost endearing, really, how they believed all contingencies were covered, only to be blindsided by the Speaker of the House, who refused to let democracy be hijacked. @SpeakerPelosi reconvening Congress that very day was an act of defiance, a stark rebuke to the insurrectionists who fancied themselves puppeteers.
In their deluded minds, the scenario was meticulously planned, the players strategically positioned, and the legal cavalry poised to charge in. Yet, like an ineptly written farce, reality proved far less strategic and far more chaotic, with would-be tyrants outsmarted by the very system they sought to subvert.
Powell’s revelations expose not just a plot but a profound miscalculation of their adversaries. They presumed they could circumvent constitutional safeguards with brute force and legal manipulations, but were ultimately thwarted by the resolute will of democratic institutions and their unwavering leaders.
It is a sobering illustration of the lengths to which these individuals were prepared to go, juxtaposed with the steadfast resilience of those who opposed them. Powell’s interview adds a new layer to this sordid narrative, revealing the hubris and folly that characterized the masterminds of this insurrection.

They never counted on Nancy Pelosi being a true patriot. A woman determined to do her job, and see things through to the end.
