This is so crazy, so how do we get trump to concede ?

[Beachnutt]

what if he just refuses period ?
What can be done ?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. He doesn't have to concede. His term expires automatically on 1/20/21.

However, if someone could talk him into it, we'd be spared all sorts of nonsense and heinous fuckery in the meantime.

[angrychair]

9. I don't disagree

but in light of Pompeo's recent comments and what if trump and his staff just continue like nothing has changed?

I realize it sounds crazy but what we are literally facing right now would have been considered insane 4 yrs ago.

Ever possible insane thing is on the table as far as I can tell.

[leftieNanner]

14. On January 20th

He is no longer the president. Period. Joe will be sworn in. Ass Face will be removed from the White House.

[angrychair]

16. I agree with everything you say

on paper.

I hope you (and I) are right.

A person can "what if" until doomsday, i just that "doomsday isn't January 20th.

[Blue Owl]

2. He doesn't have to concede -- this isn't up to him

In fact he will never concede, he is incapable of acknowledging failure.

He'll have to "escorted" out of the White House if he refuses.

[Walleye]

3. Cut off his cable TV

[Thekaspervote]

20. That and stop delivery of the big macs

[Turin_C3PO]

4. His concession is irrelevant.

Biden will be President in January and there’s nothing Trump can do to stop it. If necessary, Joe can send in Secret Service and/or US Marshalls to drag his ass out in handcuffs.

[Mike 03]

5. I know he doesn't need to concede, but IMO he does need to

accept reality, and that can only happen if people in his inner circle can get some sense into him.

And even then, it won't be a simple matter.

I'm really curious about all the moves he is making at DoD, and about Pence's vacation.

Do we know for a fact he isn't moving people around in other agencies, like the CIA?

[Rice4VP]

22. We don't care if he accepts reality. When he gets

escorted from the WH and can’t come and go as he pleases, he will get the message

[relayerbob]

6. Cut off TV and ISP service.

Make him think his phone is working, but block it and have some operative "answer" him when he does stuff on it

Seriously, it's irrelevant whether he concedes or now

[LAS14]

7. We don't need him to concede. Not a requirement. More good manners. nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. I really don't care if he concedes or not. He probably won't.

Just so long as he's out the door by January 20, 2021. That's all that counts.

[maryellen99]

10. Tell him if he concedes he'll get a lifetime supply of KFC nt

[chomper]

11. He will not concede and will never leave the White house.

It’s not the simple. If he concede or not is not the big problem. The big issue is some of those republican states will most likely NOT certify Biden as winner, therefore Trump and his GOP will try to keep the Present office and won’t turn over the White House to Biden with the help of the Pentagon AG and the local polices.

[Thekaspervote]

21. Please stoP! This has been beaten to death and given a rightful death certificate

Biden has been given the option as to how to remove him if he refuses to leave

PA majority legislative leader repeats they will not overrule the popular vote

[TreasonousBastard]

12. We don't because we can't. All his life, whenever he lost (which was most of the time) he...

pranced off and declared victory. He can't do that now, but conceding and preparing a transition team is impossible for him.

I hear his staff is actually preparing for transition (some of them, anyway) and keeping him out of it.

Whatever happens, it will be a clusterfuck.

[randr]

13. Call all the Reps

No one is seated until the race is called

[global1]

15. When He's Ultimately Dragged From The WH Kicking And Scratching.....

and he doesn't concede - he'll be able to address his followers - the deplorables - at his rallies or on the Trump News Network and say - that the election was stolen from him. It was a conspiracy and he never conceded the defeat. In his mind he's the rightful president.

His supporters will eat that up and that will be the platform he'll still maintain to cause all kinds of problems for Biden, the Dems and maybe even some Repugs.

[doc03]

17. If the news networks would just quit covering

this b.s. he would go away. Even after he lost the election he has dominated all the news the last week.

[Binkie The Clown]

18. 25 45 nt

[GoCubsGo]

19. For the umteeth time, he gets escorted out on January 20th, concession or not.

All his security clearances will be revoked, and he can be prosecuted for trespassing.

[2naSalit]

23. And he will likely not be let to roam the country

without certain restrictions since he is a national security threat. He can't be allowed to.
