To me it's pathological, this guy can't stand to be a loser. I believe that even if (or rather when) he loses the legal challenges, he will go to his grave thinking he was robbed. And so will a lot of his supporters (who gobble up any kind of conspiracy theory available).

We know where he lives.

Do you know what has happened to the American courts over the past four years?

Do you think he honestly beats L Ron Hubbard or Joseph Smith? I mean they might never have been president but Trump will probably just be a historical curio with no lasting influence whereas they have religions to this day.

He’s not planning on leaving, dude. The NewsHour just speculated that both sides are already accepting that it’s going to be decided in the Supreme Court.

Well I'm still holding faith in the American legal system. His appointments may be conservative but they are still legal experts.

Anyhow, it will be interesting to see...:)

That’s astonishing to me. That anyone capable of reading this still believes there’s going to be a peaceful transition is like ... whew ... I don’t know where people get their optimism from. It must be nice.

Not in response to adidasss :

They didn't even show up for his inauguration. Very doubtful. ;)

Btw, there's a difference between a peaceful transition and his ability to challenge the election (more on which you can read here: Trump's longshot election lawsuits: where do things stand? ).

I’m well aware of the Pollyanna positions that our courts, and especially the Supreme Court, will uphold justice.

:laughing: Such a Negative Nancy...;)

We’ll find out soon enough.

15th of December I think.

In other news!

Donald Trump's latest endeavor? Asking his supporters to pay his debts

:laughing:

I mean I'm dubious that he'll be taken seriously as well, especially since the situation inherently means that he's lost significant legitimacy, but I'm assuming nothing. Let the history books be the ones to smugly declare how pointless his strategy was since they'll have the benefit of hindsight.

Which is part of the reason why when Trump flips electors (which is constitutional btw) and wins his election fraud cases in the Supreme Court it’ll take a thousand times the George Floyd outrage to get him out of office.

When the United States Secretary of State openly tells you there’s not going to be a transition even after losing of the election you got a real problem on your hands.

It’s time to face reality people.

Today’s history books still use the phrase Jacksonian Democracy without irony.

Remember when people told you that you would shift to a moderate/conservative with age?

This is actually what they meant lol

Damn you're a boojie ass bitch tbh

It's not "prissy" to try to steal an election.

It's called strategy.

er... Wrong.

Both want that when it's convenient for them.

cnn

Just a little reality check on the non-violent transition crowd, if anyone still really believes that at this point: Trump can fill the military and the pentagon with anyone he wants and fire anyone he wants until Biden is sworn in. And guess what? Biden isn’t going to be sworn in.

Reverse coup d'etat?

More like a preemptive coup. And both sides will claim it’s one. Hall of mirrors.

Same here.

*flashbacks to 2016 when Trump supporters and alt-right kids were calling themselves the new punk*

Years and years of anti-communist propaganda and spreading mistrust in scientific fields with inconvenient info.

You already voted for him so you can drop the forced smile now. Your support is now unnecessary for four years.

Frankly, there’s a part of me that’s relieved he’s never going to take office.

you said political parties and corporations. You need me to give you examples of either of those being willing to erode our laws and institutions for their benefit?

I heard some really rich people want to keep the minimum wage low and never pay for others to see a doctor.

What do you mean by faith in institutions then? Do you mean faith they will be stable or faith they will be fair?

elph’s point would be dead on if there was an iota of sanity left

not righteousness just sanity - ability to reason

rich people don’t read either

The only thing nice about this is how soon it will be before I can say I told you so.

He lost Fox News.

It’s pretty 50/50 from what I’ve been seeing. I’ve been checking their website since I don’t have TV. What evidence do you have?

They cut his conference saying they can't in good conscience air these claims with no evidence.

That’s good news. It’s also kind of scary like they’re acknowledging the power of his bull****. But yeah that’s good news. When was this?

She’s a truly horrible person.

so why do they rely so heavily on things like gerrymandering and voter suppression if they're so worried about the legitimacy of elections?

Biden’s suggested sign language name reportedly resembles that of gang :pimp:
