I disagree because Digital Payments via Phones showing a Cashless Society are the pre-cursor, not speculating on BitCoin.
All the Chinese CBDC, e-CNY, needed to get started in 2020 was offer "$2 million of digital currency to 50,000 randomly selected consumers".

The digital renminbi ... has a legal status higher than any other domestic digital currency. No one or institution can refuse to accept it.
In terms of user experience, online payment methods such as Alipay and WeChat Pay first need to bind a bank card, and then each transaction needs to be cleared through the inter-bank system, but digital RMB does not require these processes.
There is no need to connect to the Internet to use the digital yuan. The digital renminbi is not limited by the network, even if there is no network, or the network is not good, it can also make fast payments.
"no handling fee for cash withdrawal and inter-bank transfer" and "realization in seconds." When the account is received, there is no need to wait for the bank to settle the difference on T+1 day”, “more privacy protection, meet the needs of anonymous payment” and other advantages.

Except Trump conceded at the very same rally.
Election rigging started way before 2012.
One example is Nixon vs Kennedy 1960. Illinois held out until 3am and pulled the same trick.
Nixon had them audited pre-inauguration and the results were "something is not right, we will do a full audit post-inauguration." Then when that audit happened it was "yes, definitely something fishy happening" but the GoP didn't support Nixon by then and it was dropped.
It's not even something from a Conspiracy forum, here's MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell saying it openly
Richard Nixon not challenging... that Kennedy had stolen the election in 1960, which obviously had been stolen in 1960
And CNN's Race for the Whitehouse saying the press corps knowing it just silently letting it go because they didn't like Nixon

By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground--because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.
Still can't enter Australia and my residency permit expires if I don't make it by June 2023.

Everything and everybody else is a crime unless they say it's otherwise
aka "nulla crimen sine lege"
In Russia the principle was abolished during the Russian Revolution. According to the earliest Communist decrees, criminal courts were to render judgment on the basis of ‘revolutionary legal spirit’ (revolutionäres Rechtsbewusstsein). The Soviet Penal Codes of 1922 and 1926 permitted the criminalization of ‘socially dangerous acts’ through far-fetched reasoning by analogy. The nullum crimen principle was formally reintroduced in 1958 (Art. 6 Fundamental Principles of Criminal Legislation of the USSR and the Union Republics) but still remained inapplicable in practice for minor offences treated by non-professional Comrades' Courts. Today, the principle of legality is guaranteed in Art. 54 Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993.
