Lame Duck Armageddon - While the Rest of Us Die

For months after the election, a defeated President stays in office, known as a lame-duck. But, an outgoing President still possesses all the powers of the office. He still has the power to execute the Presidential Emergency Action Documents (PEADs) – classified, and never revealed to the public, executive orders, proclamations and messages to Congress. PEADs are drafted by each President, conferring currently unknown powers in times of emergency. An emergency the lame-duck President can declare. The existence of PEADs is just one of the many secret plans of America’s shadow government – one whose primary mission is to make sure it survives, even While The Rest Of Us Die.

That is especially so when the PEADs are sealed to the public and congress and we have no real idea what they allow. Though we can speculate and imagine from what Trump has indicated.

That's going to have to be a part of an investigation after we win, methinks. They are about a government only looking out for itself and certainly not one of, for and by the people at all.

Leave Biden a smoking crater then immediately criticize Democrats for the sorry state and obstruct everything. It’s worked before with the compliant media echo chamber.
