Trump again claimed on Tuesday that he would win the presidential election, and suggested that more results are expected next week.

“WE WILL WIN!” Trump tweeted in all-caps. “RESULTS START TO COME IN NEXT WEEK,” he wrote a few minutes later.

President Trump is seeking to sow doubt about Joe Biden’s victory, and still exploring the possibility of clinging to the White House despite his loss.

The Associated Press called the race for President-elect Biden on Saturday after he won 290 electoral votes. Trump’s campaign is calling for recounts and filing lawsuits in several battleground states won by the Democrat.

I wonder whether they are going with Trump's original plan to simply arrest Joe Biden or the usual Trump/Republican strategy of just living in an alternate universe pretending that they won then tying up efforts in the Court to dislodge the Trump from the White House for most of 2021 sort of like the subpoenas for Trump's tax records.

We know Republican constituents will back this, but will most people sit idly by while Republicans destroy America and rule of law, since they control the White House, Senate and Supreme Court.

This goes to show why we can't just focus on the White House, because ultimately Republican control of redistricting at the State level, Secretaries of State, will create a ready stable of folks who are willing to entertain and perpetuate right wing delusions.

1. The State of New York will pounce regardless. They have the goods on Trump.

Trump can try to run from Justice, but Justice will ultimately win. Trump has no jurisdiction over the states because of that pesky 10th Amendment thingie in the US Constitution.

[Bayard]

2. I don't think the Secret Service

Would go for anyone trying to lay a physical finger on Biden now.

[yaesu]

3. We need to stop posting tRumps propaganda amplified by MSM here on DU as news

because its not.

[nattyice]

4. I agree and disagree. I believe it's propaganda, but it's still LBN.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

5. This hell is not over yet.

We have to keep an eye on these bastards to the end.

[TomCADem]

8. It Is Strange That Even Progressives Expect Republicans to Adhere to Rule of Law

Is it propaganda when the Trump administration put children in cages? Is it propaganda that we can ignore when Trump is trying to strong arm countries into announcing investigations into Democrats? Is it mere propaganda when Republicans sabotage the U.S. Post Office in an effort to affect the election?

Simply ignoring the abuses of power and lawlessness does not mean that it will go away.

6. Much like the LGBTQ folks stole the proud boys hashtag.

Can we overwhelm their servers with K-pop fans and get this changed to “we will steal the election”?

[Baclava]

7. Bitter clinger, he's going to kick and scream right up to Jan 20, when they drag him away

[apnu]

9. Trump is a sad petulant man.

Hey Trump! You lost, put on your big boy pants and move on.

[Turin_C3PO]

10. He'll leave before Jan. 21st.

It’s not going to get to the point where he’s dragged out by the Secret Service. Also, these attempts to steal the election won’t work. I’m not worried about that at all. It would have been nice to have the GOP on the side of election fairness but we’ve known for a long time who Republicans are. Biden won’t be arrested either.

[atreides1]

12. Nope

He's installed a yes man at the Pentagon, who has just installed another yes man as under secretary for policy...Pompeo tweeted that there will be a smooth transition to a SECOND TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

The Republicans in Congress are agreeing with everything that Trump is doing...the only thing between the end of the Republic and a dictatorship is the Joint Chiefs and maybe the courts...

[johnnyfins]

17. I agree

I also think they are going to go the "State Legislatures Pick the Electors" route. They are absolutely playing with fire.

I have a really bad feeling about this.

[AZ8theist]

23. WAIT, WAIT, WHAT??????

Biden WON'T be arrested??? How can that be??

The *resident said he needed to be jailed!! LOLOLOLOL!!!!

There was a Doturd moron in my neighborhood who had tons of Rump signs on his lawn, in his windows, everywhere.
One of the said "Biden - 47 years of corruption" (the projection and irony of that claim was somehow lost on this guy...)

Anyway, day after Biden declared the winner, ALL THE SIGNS CAME DOWN!! Fucking snowflake!!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Tommymac]

27. He has to. By the Constitution. Doesn't matter if there is a president elect or not

His tenure is over 1/20/2021 at the stroke of noon.

Period.

End of story.



GOTV GA

11. I'm wondering if they need to keep the narrative on fraudulent paper ballots alive....

This is the biggest threat to the GOP because I am fairly certain they have control over voting machines.....

[johnnyfins]

18. Ya think?

200,000 NEW votes in Miami/Dade? :/

[EndlessWire]

13. It means they have lined up

enough fake material to have the SC hang their hats on it. When enough lies are staring the Justices in the face, then they can buy into it and rule for Trump to gain a second term. YOU AND I DON'T MATTER.

It doesn't matter what the black-letter law is, either. The ship has sailed on that. The only reason he hasn't simply declared the election void is because the Joint Chiefs told him that they would not participate in it. But, if the SC declares him the winner, and they refuse to keep him in there, he will replace them with more compliant leaders. AND WE ARE SCREWED.

The JC told Trump twice that they would stay out of it. And here we are. He is refusing to give up power. Call it whatever you want. Soft soap the shit out of it and pretend it's our "hysteria." Laugh it off.

But, this NOT a good ole boy determination to make sure the election wasn't stolen from *him.* It is a flat out attempt to declare himself the winner through subterfuge, so he can tell the world that the American people wanted him, but he saved the day.

Biden has done his bit for a peaceful transition, for making nice and giving everyone a chance. But, transition isn't coming.

I want to wake up tomorrow and find it all was just a bad dream. But, this national nightmare is just not going away.

[W T F]

14. "We Will Win" Uh, yeah You can put there up there with.......................

1. "Mexico will pay for the wall"
2. "I'll release my taxes"
3. "I made the pandemic go away"
and,
4. "I knew nothing about the $130,000 check that I wrote to Stormy Danials"

[usajumpedtheshark]

15. Constitutional oathbreaking continues to have no real consequence

[hadEnuf]

16. I wonder if the GOP is somehow screwing with the vote tallies after the fact.

Are they retroactively changing votes on their vapor voting machines? Where are the mail in paper ballots being stored?

They all seem pretty smug about their newly minted "count all the votes" recount and investigation bullshit.

Are they trying to make their election fraud insanity a self-fulfilling prophecy?


I'm concerned they are trying to tamper with votes already cast.

[cstanleytech]

19. If there was a way to block a person from taking office then Hillary would have used it to

block the shit stain that is Donald Trump from being sworn in.

[SWBTATTReg]

20. Results come in next week? Why next week, aren't your printing presses working (to fake

ballots etc. so you can throw them into the mix)?

[moonscape]

26. He's planning a twofer for maximum impact: election results and healthcare plan n/t

[japple]

21. I thought he didn't want any votes that came in after Election Day. Isn't that what he said?

Now he's talking about new votes??

[ancianita]

22. Wow. Producing over 5 million "found" votes will be the most he & henchmen have ever worked!

[maxrandb]

24. Apparently, 70M Fucksticks will gladly watch America be destroyed

[wishstar]

25. Don't forget, he's raising money to support the delusion he can overturn election results

He's broke and facing many lawsuits both civil and potentially criminal too.

[Blue Owl]

28. Kickin' back with a beer and some popcorn

Let's see your next bankruptcy, Mr. tRump...
