I think you answered your own question there! :D
Oh absolutely, i don't believe him for one second. Was just wondering how others saw the next two months playing out because he's making some pretty big claims.

I read his tweets for the laughs, but I've only started recently so not sure if this is par for the course or if he's gone into overdrive with his shite.

It's 2020

We've had vidcam of Scarlett Johanson nipple slip, but somehow the biggest Election fraud in the history is never caught on cam....

It's always he says, she says, I saw, they saw.

It's becoming a parody to the whole world.

Trump's problem with contesting the election results is that he believes propaganda campaign methods - repeated assertion, hearsay claims, dodgy videos, Hannity 'exposes' on Fox News etc - will work in a court of law, when of course they won't.

But then he has long been unable to distinguish between reality and his own 'magical' thinking.

And now, like a punctured balloon from which is the air is slowly escaping, all he has left is the shrinking horizon of his own bluster.

Biden will be president but the damage this is doing will be irreparable.
Quite incredible these lot are doing more damage after they lost an election than the four previous years combined. I am absolutely convinced there will be violence. These bastards are whipping up a frenzy.
This. I can't see this fizzling out peacefully.

He and his closer advisors/collaborators/sycophants are really just scum. They know this is not about winning the election, they are doing it for the damage, shitting on everything because why not.

My brain can't get pregnant!

Ffs. So Pompeo says this rubbish and then Daddy approves of it on his big boy Twitter account.

Trump isn't going anywhere gracefully. He's just going to drag the country down more and more before he goes. If he goes. I wouldn't put anything past him tbh.

The worst part though is definitely how much he is going to destroy between now and January and how difficult he's already making it for Biden and Harris to get anything in place.

If somehow Trump stays in office then he is in for life.

They're kinda stuck, Laura Ingraham still carries a lot of their audience. They already canceled Jeanine Pirro's show, I guess censoring Hannity, Carlson et Ingraham would be the end of their channel.

They've unfortunately already done enough to sow doubt to people for it to be thing forever. It should be criminal.

Ingraham was a clerk for a Supreme Court Justice, think about that for a minute. Pirro was a judge. It scares me how many nutters they have in authority.

Who empowered Twitter with these 'guardianship morals'... its 1984...all over again?

For many in Britain too...!

George Soros frustrated British Government attempts to have the pound (Sterling) officially follow/track the Euro in the earlier 1990's. The intention was to eventually converge the two currencies. He was supposed to have made around £1B profit and was labelled the man who broke the Bank of England and it is seen by many as putting paid to Britain ever becoming a fully fledge member of the Euro Zone and hence ( as it turned out)staying in the EU.

Many would say it was Soros deft hand at money making that eventually led to Brexit.
Many are fecking idiots then arent they?

The president is now clearly a threat to the very country he is supposed to be presiding over. This is self-destruction.

Is there nothing in place for this sort of stuff? How can an outgoing president be able to do this? There must be a line that if he crosses, he is removed from office.

Wow, that was so Trump. You don't even need an FBI savant to reverse engineer that video to unmask him. This has to be treason surely?

I think we've found out throughout the last 4 years that there's very little in the way of stopping Trump.

Once the electoral college meets and votes the result is set in stone. Trump's term of office ends on January 20 and Biden's starts (note: Trump's ends on January 20 even if the result is somehow 'suspended', which it won't be). At that point the secret service's duty to protect the current president means if Trump refuses to leave the White House, he has become an unauthorised trespasser and will be forcibly removed. Those guys don't mess about, they're paid to put their lives on the line for the President, they won't have any qualms escorting Trump out. He can scream and shout all he likes, he simply does not have the option of 'not leaving'.

I honestly think he's an agent for Russia - recruited under a mix of blackmail threat and financial inducements - and has long been so. I can't prove it of course, but many, many things all point to it.

Yeah, there's some seriously underhand operations at play here. All his appointments point towards a rushed cover-up. Again, as you pointed out, of what it's hard to say.

The constitution did not make provisions for the president being an enemy of state.
Imo, Congress acting as a check on the executive does not make sense when on half of Congress belongs to the party of the president.

yes but look at all the Republican officials who support him? It cannot be just a one man stand. He is being empowered by the Republican party and senators and other politicians. How on Earth does he get away with this BS? How else could he be allowed to appoint Anthony Tata as Undersecretary for Policy at Pentagon when he was denied the confirmation by the Senate earlier on? He is a danger not only to the US but also to the World.

Hold up, that Fox News clip wasn't a parody? I genuinely thought it was an SNL skit.

Jesus, I don't what's worse - the clip itself, or the fact that millions of MAGA idiots will lap it up.

Buckle up. It's going to be a bumpy couple of months.

What terrifies me about all this is the precedence its set for their democratic process. I'm fairly confident Biden will still be POTUS come January, but Trump has already done irreversible damage, encouraging despots to use similar tactics in the future to contest, deny and circumvent electoral setbacks using lies and deceit with zero repercussions. Its frightening tbh, they really need checks in place to severely punish these underhanded tactics, because the electorate sure won't.

I think you're simplifying things a little there mate. If it was that easy they'd be no dictators :lol:

Unless Trump is certain he's going to end up in prison if he concedes then he won't be stupid enough to try and stay in power. If he does though the secret service won't just be carrying him out like a squatter.

I so want to see Trump barricade himself in the WH and then get escorted out, live on Fox News.

What else might they do then?
