    Yup.

    And we know he doesn't care.

    One thing we know very well: He only cares about himself.

The longer this goes on, the more controversy it generates. It could quickly devolve into crowds outside the facilities doing the counting, and violence. All of it playing right into Trump's hand.

    This is one of many scenarios possible. That and many more are explored in the article linked in my new thread:

    The Election That Could Break America
    I’ve also been reading about this. I hope for the sake of our country nothing is done. I knew we were in trouble when Trump hooked up with all the “deep state”, “wreck the system” people, who either ran his campaign or were in his administration writing speeches and planting craziness. If went way beyond what I ever imagined and still will continue till he’s gone.

    He has zero compunction about that or anything else.

    It really needs to be a landslide.

    For the good of America.

    It would be

    SO AWESOME

    if Biden took Texas.

    "The Trump campaign is weighing a postelection strategy that would bypass the results in key swing states by installing electors who would vote for the president in the Electoral College even if he loses"

    "Using a rationale of baseless claims about widespread voter fraud and other irregularities with mail ballots, President Donald Trump would ask state legislators to set aside the popular vote and exercise their power to choose a slate of electors directly"

    "With the key swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin unable to legally process or count absentee ballots until Election Day, and with ongoing legal disputes over ballots received after Election Day, the Trump campaign is reportedly looking to cast doubt on the results"

    Didn't think I would witness in my lifetime the mere mention that the United States could descend into a third world dictatorship. Has any of this type thought or even the consideration ever surfaced in this country prior to the rise of Trump? Do you think that maybe, just maybe, a correlation might exist?
    There is no reason Trump should not spy on Biden and Harris. Obama did it and he is in 0 trouble.

    Not if you ask Hillary about what he should do.

    You don't know shit, cunt. Stop pretending you do.

    BTW, your recent thread ban of me says a lot more about you than it does me and it isn't good in your favor.

    If you truly believe that, have you started looking for a place to hide?

    It ain’t about spying, besides, just like 2016, he probably has the Russians doing that for him, but rather the future of America’s democracy

    If you spend five years endlessly attacking the integrity of the election system, especially with no concern regarding the validity of your attacks, some Americans are going to lose confidence and faith in that method of selecting their leaders, and we will no longer be a working democracy. Given Trump’s strategy it is beginning to appear this is exactly his goal

    Oh, stop it. The FBI checked it out and Obama did nothing of the sort. That meme was destroyed years ago.

    These unAmerican Trumpers would support him going full on dictator. They do not care about democracy or the constitution. They care about their messiah.

    But but but...Centrists constantly ask what's the big deal and say we are overreacting to the things Trump says.

    Trump is maintaining his right to fight in court over attempts to circumvent election law and against other shenanigans (forever "finding" ballots in the basement, etc.). This "full dictatorship" crap is nonsense, unless you think that when Biden tries the same thing he is "going full dictator".

    In January the winner of the election will be inaugurated as President of the US of A.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Radical Democrats are mailing out millions of unsolicited ballots.

    Corruption before our very eyes.

    The sacred vote that soldiers fight and die for is being corrupted by the radical Democrats.
