It's time for another bone spur flare-up.

(25,294 posts)Has anyone commented on this - crushing the insurrection - comment by Trump and what are they saying?
Does he really believe he'd get away with doing this? Has anyone said how he could be stopped if he tried this?

He should be removed and Mike Pence put in his place immediately.
We all may rue the day for the lack of leadership from our elected leaders?

(32,782 posts)to raise holy hell. I know they don't want to scare people, but come on! It's absurd that this election is still being presented as a normal election. It's not. It's naive to think that there aren't a dozen other ways in which tRump has compromised this election.

(5,014 posts)He keeps invoking this idea, so I hope the Ds are preparing for the scenario of him making this claim on Election Day.
It's totally false, of course, that a result "should be known Election Day." The results of an election are know within each state when that state certifies the results. Many allow for mail-in ballots to be counted up to a certain time after election day.

(8,419 posts)CA totals take weeks. Thus he falls further behind in total counts. Pure scam.
Mister Ed
(5,946 posts)...and declare that all further votes are fraudulent and illegal, thus accomplishing a coup.
When the inevitable protests break out, he'll try to have them forcefully put down.
He's not trying to hide his plans for a coup. On the contrary, he's bragging about them.

(37,457 posts)He will see "insurrection" in the streets aka peaceful protests/expression of opinion and try to get his no-ID troops to arrest them.
Mussolini would be envious.
