Stakes
There's one.

Yes, of course, transitioning from Trump on his say so, whatever his reasons, would just mean shifting our attention to signs of the most likely successor. It's very likely that Trump himself will be one of those signs. If his entire family and all his close associates get devoured by the liberal maw, the signs become more faint and we train our vision to notice, and construct our practices to elicit, them.

Within a couple of weeks we'll know everything. I'll be following, but have no interest in second guessing, the various avenues Trump pursues. I start with the assumption that he knows what he's doing, and knows way more than I do, and I discount anyone who thinks otherwise.

I find it helpful to keep in mind that what we think doesn't really matter. There's nothing you can *do* with your suspicions; and, of course, there's nothing I can *do* with my "faith." You don't need to make any claims, and nether do I. You observe what seem to you weaknesses in the legal strategy, and there's nothing wrong with noting that. I notice that Trump and those around him (Pence, Pompeo, the rest of his cabinet as far as I can see, McConnell) seem serene, confident, and to be carrying on business as usual. Trump is rearranging the military in some interesting ways, which would be pointless if he expected to be out of office in a couple of months. I also notice that the media is determined to allow for absolutely no discussion of all the evidence of fraud, or, if you like ,all the anomalies in the results. They keep repeating, robotically, "no evidence," "no evidence," "no evidence," etc., when obviously there's evidence, even if you think it's insufficient or won't stand up. So, they don't seem to me very confident--why should they be so desperate to extract a concession, to harass lawyers supporting Trump, to create a virtual Biden "presidential electness" etc.? This doesn't prove anything either, but it seems to me at least a relevant as Trump's legal team proceeding a bit more slowly than we'd like. We observe these things in such a way as to move forward with as big a picture and "rich" a sense of events as possible.
