He will declare the election is rigged. He set that up last time thinking he would lose and didn't have to use it. This time he will. He has the supreme court just like bush did. We can get in the streets and protest just like we did in 2000. The difference is this time ,the armed thugs will come out in force. The armed lockdown protest are just a trial run for post election day. Remember when Capital Hill Republican staffers stopped the legal vote counting in Florida in 2000. What they are planning for 2020 will make that look like child's play. We can talk polls and races but the fact is he is going nowhere and there is no way to get him out when he goes that route. Democracy is really in danger folks and we need to start thinking about this possibility.

We are going to have to go through a lot of ugly shit to get him out. Desperation will make him and the GOP extremely dangerous, especially since those GOP remaining do NOT love the country and will destroy it if they feel they "have to". I have zero doubt about this. We must sound the alarm. Bill Maher has for a while and not many are taking his prediction seriously, until I saw this video that is.

Who in their right mind would vote for Donald Trump for POTUS??! I think he saw his campaign as a money making scheme since all of his previous projects had failed and he'd run out of options. But once he unbelievably got power - and a source of moneymaking beyond what he ever imagined - he wants to keep it, so I think you're right. In my lifetime, I count 3 presidential elections in which the candidate who actually got the most votes did not prevail. And they've gotten better at it, have foreign help this time around, so I agree that we need to be prepared and pull out all the stops to take our country back!

will vote for Trump, they love the shit show and think ( I know they don't really think ) that it is doing a great job. Todays GOP is flat out insane and they hate us and everything that is decent in America. They seem to think that the only group that has the right to run things is them and they will do anything to stay in power! This election will be the dirtiest one in our history lying, cheating and stealing will be happening everyday on a scale like we have never seen.

He loses power at 12:01 Jan 20 2021.
Period.

Biden isnt going to stand down and just let him stay.
They want civil war
They can have it.

Then by declaration claim it illegally done , then charge Democrats for it. He'll have one only when putin has everything in place to insure trump wins , again. trump and McConnell have been setting up their kangaroo courts with trump loyalists to do as he demands them to do. He and putin will steal another election unless they are exposed.

McConnell and the other willing rethug mobsters will allow it to happen. We've now got fucking Nunes on tape admitting to "ballot harvesting" the CA-25 special "election" race this week. The only hope for the US is that Putin is up to his red ass in alligators now in Russia dealing with Covid19. He may not be able to throw his favorite lackey asset in the WH a lifeline without losing his own grasp on everything he's having to do now to control his own power. Covid is the great leveler now. And Death comes to all, as no one gets out of this place alive anyway. Sure, tRump and Putin have all the test kits and palliatives available to them, but that doesn't guarantee with slam dunk certainty that either or both will not get it and die from it. That's true of all of us now (well, those who haven't had the illness and developed antibodies to either prevent a future infection or mitigate the effects of one).

But there is not a fucking chance in hell that tRump won't claim that the election was a sham if he doesn't *win*. He will fight to the last breath to maintain his stranglehold on power and the Constitution be damned. So far, he's getting away with everything. Everything. And Barr and McConnell are paving the way for him. This is always what the the rethugs have wanted. It is something that they avowed they would do since FDR enacted legislation benefiting the middle and lower classes. They'll stop at nothing now. Absolutely. Nothing.

I'm tired of the MSM wringing their hands "Oh, dear! Whatever shall we do? How could this happen?"

It reminds me of Miss Pittypat "Yankees in Atlanta?! who let them in?!"

There needs to be a plan for the orderly transfer of power. There needs to be someone in the WH who can and will turn over the keys. I pray there is. I fear, tho....

I'll make a bet that Melania will have high tailed it out of there way before that day arrives. The day he loses the election is her liberation day. It'll be "by by Donnie."
