This is why I think the impending election doesn’t matter. There’s no point in even listening to what any candidate has to say. The GOP is willing to do whatever it takes to keep him in power. Even if he loses the “election” he will still remain in power. The only revelation here will be that the rest of us recognize that our democracy has died.
The continuing spinelessness of the Democratic party and the shockingly clear corruption of the current crop of self declared Republicans now has me firmly in the 50/50 camp of "The Next Election Matters" V. "It's Already Too Late". Trump questions the authenticity of the election he "won". Of course he's not going to go quietly, and I have ZERO faith at this point that anybody in a position of authority has the spine or the willingness to do anything about it.This is why I think the impending election doesn’t matter.

Although utterly undesirable, there is a point at which the armed forces would wade in.The continuing spinelessness of the Democratic party and the shockingly clear corruption of the current crop of self declared Republicans now has me firmly in the 50/50 camp of "The Next Election Matters" V.

Please substantiate that. His rhetoric seems to be attempting to set up another scenario.The idea that trump would refuse to leave office if unelected or after two terms is laughable. Get a fucking grip.

Since when did anything he said hold water?
The idea is clearly in his addled brain. Execution is another thing, agreed, but perhaps he'd outsource that to McConnell and Co.Since when did anything he said hold water?
The guy can’t even get an entire sports team to visit the WH and you think he can overthrow the country?
And there it is, the first stage of mourning, denial.The idea that trump would refuse to leave office if unelected or after two terms is laughable. Get a fucking grip.
Yeah, that's probably the secret mission of Space Force.The idea is clearly in his addled brain. Execution is another thing, agreed, but perhaps he'd outsource that to McConnell and Co.
Beats stage 4 TDS.And there it is, the first stage of mourning, denial.
I concede that it's tinfoil-ey, that's why I said "50/50". But they are, as ascribed above, kind of the words that have come out of his mouth in the past. God knows Mitch McConnell is doing everything in his power to ensure free and fair elections, because we haven't had to worry about election manipulation at all, any time, ever. I've noted previously somewhere in PaWN that he certainly has supporters who are ready for Trump-for-life.The idea that trump would refuse to leave office if unelected or after two terms is laughable. Get a fucking grip.
You guys feeling the trickle down yet?Few people in history have revolutionized economic thought and policy like Dr. Art Laffer. He developed a brilliant theory, shaped unprecedented economic reforms, and helped turn a severe recession into a remarkable boom. He proved that the most powerful way to grow the economy and raise government revenue was not to increase tax rates but to adopt strong incentives that unleash the power of human freedom and innovate, create jobs, and deliver greater opportunity to all Americans. And he’s proved it over and over again
Surely there's a forklift powerful enough.You won't be laffing when he refuses to leave office!
The future is bright!!!How meta. Fake news about fake news.
Our Mensa Candidate, doing what he does best.
