The story is now clearer: Trump directly tried to stop Biden’s certification from taking place on 6 January, and sought to delay the certification process to get alternate slates of electors for Trump sent to Congress.
We’ve been here before, with the first impeachment’s explicit quid pro quo to the Ukrainian President of “arms for dirt” on Hunter Biden. Even with witnesses and a summary transcript of the deal, the votes weren’t there to remove Trump.
It’s so much worse now that we’re past a failed second impeachment, and the revelations of a massive conspiracy to not simply decertify but to deliberately alter vote totals.
Only idiocrats would believe there was massive voter fraud, but yet there are plenty of people who drank not Kool-aid, but Brawndo. It’s about a fluid, electrolyte certification, and the obviousness of an attempt to overthrow the government by fomenting a false “state of emergency” that would necessitate martial law. There are now too many witnesses to trumpian calumny and turpitude., There was no “antifa” for the hoard to combat, and previous guy cannot claim ignorance of a “popular will” demanding an illusory justice in the tabulation of state voting. The current GOP attempts to suppress voting now reveals their criminal, anti-democratic intentions.
Hours before the deadly attack on the US Capitol this year, Donald Trump made several calls from the White House to top lieutenants at the Willard hotel in Washington and talked about ways to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election win from taking place on 6 January.
But as Trump relayed to them the situation with Pence, he pressed his lieutenants about how to stop Biden’s certification from taking place on 6 January, and delay the certification process to get alternate slates of electors for Trump sent to Congress.
The former president’s remarks came as part of strategy discussions he had from the White House with the lieutenants at the Willard – a team led by Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn and Trump strategist Steve Bannon – about delaying the certification.
Multiple sources, speaking to the Guardian on the condition of anonymity, described Trump’s involvement in the effort to subvert the results of the 2020 election.
Trump’s remarks reveal a direct line from the White House and the command center at the Willard. The conversations also show Trump’s thoughts appear to be in line with the motivations of the pro-Trump mob that carried out the Capitol attack and halted Biden’s certification, until it was later ratified by Congress.
The former president’s call to the Willard hotel about stopping Biden’s certification is increasingly a central focus of the House select committee’s investigation into the Capitol attack, as it raises the specter of a possible connection between Trump and the insurrection.
Several Trump lawyers at the Willard that night deny Trump sought to stop the certification of Biden’s election win. They say they only considered delaying Biden’s certification at the request of state legislators because of voter fraud.
The former president made several calls to the lieutenants at the Willard the night before 6 January. He phoned the lawyers and the non-lawyers separately, as Giuliani did not want non-lawyers to participate on legal calls and jeopardise attorney-client privilege.
Trump’s call to the lieutenants came a day after Eastman, a late addition to the Trump legal team, outlined at a 4 January meeting at the White House how he thought Pence could usurp his role in order to stop Biden’s certification from happening at the joint session.

During the 2016 presidential primaries, writer Etan Cohen[34] and others expressed opinions that the (Idiocracy) film's predictions were converging on accuracy,[35][36][37][38] a sentiment repeated by director Mike Judge during the general election.[39] At the time, Judge also compared Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump—who later won and became President of the United States—to the film's wrestler-turned-president, Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.[39] When asked about predicting the future, he remarked, "I'm no prophet, I was off by 490 years."[40]

Some coordination between Peter Navarro and the now indicted Steve Bannon has now emerged where Bannon’s resistance to a Select Committee subpoena comes from contact between him and Trump in reference to the insurrection:
The Daily Beast revealed Monday that Peter Navarro's book cites Steve Bannon as a cohort in a "hail Mary" attempt to stop the election certification. Further, Navarro confessed that he coordinated with Republican members of Congress to do it. The claim could explain the apology text message that Mark Meadows turned over to the committee reading "I'm sorry" and "we tried."
The co-conspirators even named the mission, calling it "the Green Bay Sweep." When discussing it in an interview with the Beast, he named Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as officials who helped spearhead the effort.
"We spent a lot of time lining up over 100 congressmen, including some senators. It started out perfectly. At 1 p.m., Gosar and Cruz did exactly what was expected of them,” Navarro told the Beast. "It was a perfect plan. And it all predicated on peace and calm on Capitol Hill. We didn’t even need any protestors, because we had over 100 congressmen committed to it."
[...]
Navarro explained that the goal was to run out the clock to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to stop the certification, something he believed he had no power to do. As Pence's book revealed, he had already spoken to former Vice President Dan Quayle (R-IN) about the request.
They thought that the speeches from 100 members would force the media to cover the unproven conspiracy theories about election fraud that were never proven. Instead, thousands of Trump supporters ascended on the U.S. Capitol in a violent attack, sending those same members running for their lives. After returning to the chamber, many avid Trump supporters were unwilling to oppose the election any further.

“...according to George Bataille's theory of consumption, the accursed share is that excessive and non-recuperable part of any economy which is destined to one of two modes of economic and social expenditure. This must either be spent luxuriously and knowingly without gain in the arts, in non-procreative sexuality, in spectacles and sumptuous monuments, or it is obliviously destined to an outrageous and catastrophic outpouring in war.”

An important literary and philosophical figure, Georges Bataille has had a significant influence on other French writers , such as Foucault, Derrida and Baudrillard. The Thirst for Annihilation is the first book in English to respond to his writings. In no way, though, is Nick Land 's book an attempt to appropriate Bataille's writings to a secular intelligibility or to compromise with the aridity of academic discourse - rather, it is written as a communion. Theoretical issues in philosophy, sociology, psychodynamics, politics and poetry are discussed but only as stepping stones into the deep water of textual sacrifice where words pass over into the broken voice of death. Cultural modernity is diagnosed down to its Kantian bedrock with its transcendental philosophy of the object but Bataille's writings cut violently across this tightly disciplined reading to reveal the strong underlying currents that bear us towards chaos and dissolution - the violent impulse to escape, the thirst for annihilation. Nick Land , whose aim is to spread what he calls 'the virulent horror' of Bataille's writings, himself writes with a vividness and commitment more usually associated with works of literature than intellectual investigations. This book is of relevance to everyone interested in the philosophy of desire, the psychopathology of deviance, political and legal theory, the history of religion or poetry. It is also urgent for all those intrigued by their sexual torments or the death they mistakenly conceive of as their own.
