Go ask the generals if Biden is sworn in and trump still says he is president who will you salute?
Ask the secret service if they will escort Trump out.
I know a thousand posters swear thats whatll happen but I have seen zero quotes from those who have the power to force Trump out on January 20th
The press needs to ask them and not Trump will they recognize the results of the election.
Thats who we must hear from.

You saying it doesnt mean shit.
Sorry.
Its as simple as that

(130,865 posts)no ONE has to do so.
The 20th amendment to the Constitution specifies that the term of each elected President of the United States begins at noon on January 20 of the year following the election. Each president must take the oath of office before assuming the duties of the position.

One of our problems is that there are a LOT of his supporters in the military, and every security force we have, down to the lowest police. THEY may not be willing to go back to the "norms" established in the past.
If they can't, PURGE THEM.

And theyre preparing to fuck up the election sideways from various directions.

(12,286 posts)What plans?
He refused to answer.
It was a pathetic dodge.
I want proof that the rules will apply
Who will force him out ?
Have they said they will?
Bernie didnt say shit.

(54,770 posts)Senate looks. More importantly, I dont think he refuses to leave when the time comes. Hell play to his base, and enjoy getting Democrats all upset at first, then hell sort of sulk and hide when he can, then hell leave after hes cut deals for future revenue like on FOX, giving rallies, signing autographs for white wingers, and worse.
The plan wont take that long to develop, if its needed.

(2,227 posts)JUST to get him out of the White House? What a pathetic bunch of wimps WE are.
The ONLY "plan" offered, should be whether or not he gets a can of gold spray paint for the toilet in the corner of his cell.
If he, and his supporters are not dealt with in a way that they KNOW their little charade is at an end, we will NEVER be rid of him, or them. They will trot out two scoops Jr., or ISKANKA, and continue the show. From Saudi Arabia, if necessary.
There should be no plan. He leaves the White House and goes directly to a holding cell, for treason, and money laundering. Letitia, NYAG can handle the spawn.

(12,286 posts)Are you loyal to me?
He has all his lackeys sign loyalty pledges.
He has fired or run off generals with integrity and replaced them with his yes men.
So yeah, someone better fucking ask them.
Because this country may not be the country you think it is.

(51,584 posts)from every angle and level. This is not a rational person. He is dangerous and can and will do anything. Listen to psychologists, listen to people like his niece. Hes in control of what he wants you to see, where and whenits all a big game to him.
Forensic psychiatrist Bandy Lee, author of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, writes, We are facing a democide of genocidal proportions, because we have handed power to someone who is anti-human in psychology. When criminality combines with mental pathology, this kind of large-scale violence becomes possible. This bottomless need to place his own psychic survival above any protection of the public should rather be a warning. This means he would be equally inclined to destroy the nation or the worldwhich he has the power to doif he were to feel humiliated from the loss of an election, for example.

(26,619 posts)I think hes very dangerous. When he sat down with the California governor and the others, he laughed at them. He never laughs, but when California is in flames, he laughs. This is a dangerous and evil man..
