Trump Says Supreme Court Will Decide the Election

[RandySF]

President Trump predicted that the U.S. Supreme Court will decide the outcome of the November election and argued the Senate should confirm his nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to break any tie, Bloomberg reports.

Said Trump: “I think this will end up in the Supreme Court and I think it’s very important that we have nine justices, and I think the system’s going to go very quickly.”

He added: “I think this scam that the Democrats are pulling, it’s a scam, this scam will be before the United States Supreme Court and I think having a 4-4 situation is not a good situation. Just in case it would be more political than it should be, I think it’s very important to have a ninth judge.”

1. Not when vote numbers are bigly in favor of Biden.

[TheBlackAdder]

20. Notice how he posts as though he knows 4 Judges will automatically rule that there was fraud!

[imanamerican63]

2. Not if we don't get out and vote!

Overwhelming them throughout our our vote and crush them all!

[SWBTATTReg]

3. The only scam being pulled is the lying and stuff by not honoring Barak Obama's supreme court...

nominee when he nominated his nominee by Moscow Mitch.

The orange monkey doesn't know what he's talking about, and is full of crap as usual. Never again should anyone ever ever believe a republican or their word. Never again.

[Solly Mack]

4. He's hoping for a Bush/Gore SCOTUS repeat, more or less.

Trump will challenge anything and everything no matter how wrong he is and then push the issue up to the SCOTUS. Anything to retain power.

[bamagal62]

5. So, does that mean, now, he'll do another

Quid pro quo with the nominees? There is so much wrong with all of this.

[Yavin4]

8. Why would any justice keep their end of the deal?

Once that justice is on the court, it's a done deal.

[LisaM]

6. Well, that's about as brazen as it gets.

Words cannot describe how much I hate the 2000 Supreme Court and Shrub for putting us in this position with his subsequent picks. Imagine the studied picks Al Gore would have made.

Every time I see people praising Nicolle Wallace, I want to scream with frustration.

[Trumpocalypse]

7. Shouldn't all Justices appointed by Trump recuse themselves?

[LisaM]

13. Shouldn't Thomas, Scalia, and O'Connor recused themselves

from Bush v. Gore?

On other words, no one will.

[Trumpocalypse]

15. None of them were appointed by either of the

parties in the case.

[LisaM]

22. No, but two had vested interest in the outcome

And O'Connor had openly been dismayed on election night when it appeared Gore could win and said that would be terrible.

I expect nothing from any of them. They all need to go take an ethics course.

[Trumpocalypse]

23. True but

that is not the same as being appointed by one of the litigants.

[LisaM]

24. Well, since neither had been president, that wasn't possible.

Drawing the best comparison I can here, from the last time the SCOTUS mucked with a presidential election.

[Trumpocalypse]

32. Exactly It wasn't possible

It’s a different matter when one of the parties is the President who appointed three of the justices.

[Turbineguy]

9. So now

The Democratic Senators can ask his SC nominee: "Are you going to help trump steal the election?"

[moondust]

10. Totalitarian at work.

Part One:

“I think this scam that the Democrats are pulling, it’s a scam, this scam..." - Dumpy the Clown

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." - Maybe Goebbels, maybe some other Nazi

Part Two:

"It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes." - Maybe Stalin, maybe some other totalitarian

"As long as I count the Votes, what are you going to do about it?" - “Boss” Tweed


Looks like Dumpy is working his totalitarian "Big Lie" routine to lay the groundwork for having his totalitarian goons "count" the votes.

[Blue Owl]

11. NO, DONALD.

We the fucking PEOPLE will decide this election you fat fucking pig.

[roamer65]

12. I think I am going to vote in person this time.

With no wife or kids, I’ll just mask up good and go do it.

We need to run up the Election Day totals.

[EndlessWire]

27. I agree

Here in California you can take your completed ballot and turn it into any polling place. Then you can track your ballot.

You won't have to linger. Mask up, keep it business-like, and return home, or whatever.

If for some reason you didn't get your ballot (ahem,) then you can ask for a provisional ballot, and vote that way. It is handled differently than a straight forward ballot. They know who was supposed to get what kind of ballot, and they will check to make sure you didn't vote twice. But, they have to count your ballot.

We have to turn out in the millions and vote these traitors out of office. Each person's ballot is important. Our mission is to get this done.

[roamer65]

28. I'm going to ask my township clerk.

[gratuitous]

14. No it won't, Donald

I'm sure you'd like your coterie of hand-picked judges to hand you another term, but that's not what's going to happen. Millions upon millions of Americans are going to decide this election, and that's not good news for you.

[Andy823]

16. It's all trump bullshit

He is trying to make people think that no matter what he is going to win, and that's not going to happen. He is doing this for his "cult" followers, and I would be willing to bet he is making request for more money from those morons who think he is some kind of god.

His main goal right now is making all the money he can off of his supporters so he can "skim" millions into his own pockets.

GET OUT THE VOTE! that's the way to stop this insanity!

[LuckyCharms]

17. Nah Donald, you'll drop dead before election day.

Go have another cheeseburger to calm your raw nerves, Donald.

Put a bunch of mayonnaise on it.

Put a whole jar full on it you fucking slob.

Go have a nice dinner with your pal, Mr. Creosote.

Mmmmmm....mayonnaise Donald....mayonnaise.

[Sugarcoated]

18. The voters

will decide. That's the way it works in America crooked Donnie, no matter what your mentally ill ass decrees

[Baitball Blogger]

19. We are in Stage 5 of Idiocracy.

[Efilroft Sul]

21. And by "system," Trump means the entire system of American government.

[Dr. Jack]

25. Trump says a lot of things

And I don't believe a single one of them

[spanone]

26. SHUT UP YOU FUCKING CRIMINAL

[Cha]

29. NO You Ignorant STUPID FUCKFACE.. The People

Will DECIDE.

[cynatnite]

30. Is he counting on a repeat of 2000? n/t

[struggle4progress]

31. "GOP spokesman wants court filled to over-turn election"

[budkin]

33. After this madness, Biden will win in a landslide

And we can send Donald to his crypt forever.

[DFW]

34. Yeah, why bother with an election?

They just take up time away from golfing
