even if Biden is leading in the polls we need to do better to make up for the bs the republicans pull.

So everyone HAS to come out and vote .

He becomes a former president, who has no power over anyone. And our military will not show up at the WH to keep him there.

They know how the ending would be.
Thats another reason why it cannot be a close election. Only his hard core backers would insist he stay if he gets an asswhippin'.

if he doesn't exit relatively peacefully. By non-peacefully I mean a mountain of lies and lawsuits, not armed insurrection.

to now open at noon on January 20, 2021. My parents, husband, and sister have been trying to come up with the perfect toast. My dad recently suggested, "fuck that idiot and best of luck to President Biden." That's the front runner at the moment.

I think they'd be more like mercenaries. He's cornered if he loses. He can't leave the country, he's a loose cannon who's had 5 years of the highest level security briefings. Our secrets would all be on the black market.

Yesterday he made it very clear there would be a peaceful transition of power and the winner of the election would be inaugurated on 1/20/2021.

The senate then went on to pass a resolution to such..it was posted here yesterday..can’t find the link

He also said that presidents shouldnt appoint scotus justices in the final year of their terms.

He wont back a loser. But he will do anything possible to tip the scales and fudge a victory or obscure a loss.

“He’s cheating. He’s been cheating for a while now,” Mary Trump said. “He’s cheating when he tells people that mail-in ballots are fraudulent somehow. He’s cheating when he started calling into question the legitimacy of the election before a vote was even cast. He’s cheating when he says if Joe Biden wins, it’s rigged…. He’s also cheating when he tells people if we don’t get the results on Nov. 3 ― which, by the way, during the pandemic would be ridiculous ― if we have to wait, that it’s also rigged, somehow.”
