As the rat gets further back in the corner and sees an election loss coming and a shit load of legal

jeopardy after he leaves office; what illegal things should the FBI and Democrats be prepared to watch out for as Trump attempts to stay in office? I really think if he gets desperate he will push hard on election fraud and could really incriminate himself because he is that stupid. The other rats don't want to go down with the ship and so he could be walking into all kinds of traps. I predict he is going to do a slew of incriminating things at the end and make things much worse for himself. It's so in his character! He is as dumb as a rock and a cornered stupid rat is extremely dangerous and extremely vulnerable to getting trapped!

Thoughts?

1. I agree with you on this

He is stupid, frightened, and dangerous!

I just hope that whatever he invents in that sick little mind of his doesn't destroy absolutely EVERYTHING!!

4. I think he is a lot like the evil queen in Maleficent

He is very much the type to throw the innocent maiden off the tower to her death to save himself and also incriminate the crap out of himself in the process. Warning, spoilers:

2. Hopefully Democrats will nominate someone who can win in the swing states so he does not get

re elected.

3. The Russians cutting off the electricity on Election Day is not far-fetched

5. I take some measure of comfort

from the fact that some career employees are bold enough to put illegal orders on the pay-no-mind list,i.e.,release of aid to Ukraine.If the nuclear football hasn't been swapped for a mockup, perhaps there's a designated handler with a bottle of chloroform and a hankie standing at the ready.

6. Worst case scenario

Is one I heard before the 2016 election from some right wing nuts I know. They predicted Obama would declare martial law and cancel/suspend election to remain in office. I always told them that was a ridiculous thought, it would never happen. In retrospect, I think maybe he should have done so with evidence of Russian meddling.

So having said that, I agree with you about him pushing election fraud. Except i fear that maybe they will try it for 2020... saying elections are in jeopardy, results can't be trusted, martial law is declared, no elections to be held until we can verify the results will be accurate, not tampered or interfered with. Ha! They'd be the ones tampering, the russiapublicans. But we know they often/always do what they accuse us/others of doing. That's my fear.

Not sure how we'd navigate that scenario. Paper ballots would be the remedy, collected and counted by bipartisan groups. It would be a nightmare, but as I write this I think we should use paper ballots. There are many countries that use paper because they've determined that electronic voting can be hacked.

7. My guess is Putin-Trump et al, had something ready for when they were supposed to lose to Hillary.

That didn't happen, so they will now rework it. I'm guessing it has something to do with attempting to start a civil war.

There was also that mysterious hole that appeared in the White House lawn shortly after he was appointed president. I've always wondered if that was a tunnel.

9. +1, civil war seems like something Russians have been pinning for

8. K&R, Our electoral systems are left WIDE OPEN Trump will steal the next election and we should

...be prepared to pressure our pols to NOT certify his win.
