Bravo Blue: "Worst Presidential Speech Ever"



Tweet linked from Instapundit. The link is to a Substack page (Bravo Blue) written by John A. Lucas.

I'm not familiar with the author. There's no about "About" page to say who he is. At this writing, I have looked (correction of a typo: add the word "no" to the following) further than the article itself. As for the article, it is quite lengthy, and it is quite critical of Biden. It's good to have someone out there willing to go through all that trouble to write such a lengthy and detailed rebuttal to a speech.

But it should be remembered, in order to keep things short. The Democrats needed an excuse to call an emergency session which would end all challenges to Biden's apparent victory. This was needed in order to prevent the matter from reaching the Supreme Court. The challenges would have given standing to the issue in the Court. Therefore, one should ask why would Trump do something deliberately adverse to his own interest, and why did this happen in a way that the Democrats needed in order to prevent their case from falling apart in the highest court of the land?

Furthermore, I'm suggesting that this article still misses the mark. The accusation of insurrection will go on in the face of obvious contradiction in order to avoid addressing the real issues. That is this: Was the emergency session really necessary as far as a legal outcome was concerned? The "insurrection" was over in just a few hours. There was still two weeks from inauguration day. Why the haste?
