(44,983 posts)No matter how despicable his intentions are,
Trump will figure out a way to backfire this on himself.
Only now the stakes are rising to treasonous heights.
He sure is desperate to stay out of jail.

Thomas Hurt
(13,903 posts)He is going to keep behaving as if he won. He is going to keep fleecing the cultists.
He is going to keep suing and trying to get something, anything in front of the SC he thinks he has in his pocket.
All of it to stir up shit to make people pay attention to him.

(11,250 posts)Trump is ultimately a coward why doesn't follow through on his threats. He's also aided by some of the most incompetent people on the planet (see: Four Seasons Total Landscaping).
There are lots of things in the world to worry about, but Trump stealing the election isn't one of them.

All Biden has to do is remind White House employees that they will be subject to prosecution if they do anything illegal.

(10,883 posts)him, the Senate McConnell and Graham, his cult and how he is totally being an a-hole. His cult is forever true to him.
All of them are holding up the Pres-Elect from his transitional funds, that is being spiteful.
But Mary Trump did warn us. And more people are going to die from Covid.

(7,733 posts)Trump has had four years to corrupt and brainwash a country hurting from inequality and sickness. There will be fights for every inch of progress Democrats want to achieve. The overt machinations of Trumpism will now move somewhat undercover. Decency and justness will go a long way as a foundation for good things to come.
A great many Americans will never admit defeat and failure. These Americans will be targeted by seditious foes of Democracy. There will be a never-ending fight to stop these people and groups. There will be atrocious behavior from the other side. I am confident Joe Biden will build a strong enough coalition to right the ship.

(32,626 posts)most dangerous time between the election and January 20th. As of now, nothing has changed. All the pieces are still in play. Kind of brings the bullshit demands of different factions of the Democratic Party into focus.

(70,641 posts)Questions continue about Donald Trump: What if he never concedes? What if he refuses to leave? What if he goes berserk with Executive Orders, Pardons himself, or unleashes the Proud Boys?
The answer is: It doesnt matter. His choices are to find some grace or sulk his way out or be frogmarched out, its up to him.
Whatever part of the country has moved on. No individual or group can stop the moving on of any kind.
We are free to go back to our daily lives without the dread of what the tweet at dawn was or keep adding to the list of his latest outrageous publicity stunts. It doesnt matter, but actually never mattered.
If it comes down to the frogmarch, no big deal. It will just be his last stunt and we can rubberneck it briefly and immediately move on past it.
This is not gloating or mean spiritedness and theres no expectation that his followers will move on constructively. Even if they choose to wreak havoc, it might be suspected that they will have their own secret relief.

Should be cake for the prosecutors.
On... you are seen....
Try hiding all the video evidence and ill advised Prez tweets are forever?
When that SOB had private meetings with Russians in the Oval Office, that is when we should have hit the streets and demanded his resignation, in hindsight, right?
