When Trump says it out loud, believe him.

[marble falls]

1. He'd be stupid either way.

[Grokenstein]

2. Fine.

If he wants to leave feet first under a sheet, that works too.

[Thekaspervote]

3. he is such a fool! The man we all love to hate mcturtle, the most powerful man in DC begs to

Differ.

Stated and then passed a resolution in the senate that there will be a peaceful transition of power and the winner will be inaugurated on 1/20/2021. Mcturtle cares about one thing and it isn’t serving a tin pot dictator

7. Aah, but that can be interpreted very differently by the Rethugs....

peaceful transition, meaning when the Supreme Court calmly and peacefully appoints Trump President with a minority of the popular vote, just like 2000, very peaceful acquiescence.

[Thekaspervote]

12. Google and read the resolution. Peaceful transition was framed in the constitution by the founders

And no it doesn’t mean by SCOTUS!

Get a grip!!

9. Did McTurtle specify his criteria for defining "winner"?

It's possible for him to win the Electoral College by other than the conventional means.

13. Mcturtle was shooting a shot across dotard's bow, just like he did when he said he was thinking

Of postponing or delaying the elections. That is very clear..read it for yourself!

The underpinning message from mcturtle and the senate ....don’t f..k with my power!

[Crunchy Frog]

15. I've read it, but did not feel that it was sufficiently clear in defining its terms.

If you'd like to specify for me, I'd appreciate it.

[Thekaspervote]

17. If you put it in the perspective of how it might harm anyone of his senators in their bid for

re-election it’s subtle but clear, at least to me. Above all else he wants to retain his speakership and the power that goes with it. He is cunning and ruthless, but in a different way than trump. He isn’t going to lock horns with him, right now, it would serve no purpose.

It would be splitting hairs, it seems to me to say that he meant anything other than under the current definition laid down in the constitution

[Crunchy Frog]

19. The current definition as laid down in the Constitution

only specifies that the Electoral College chooses the president, and the electors are chosen by the states. It certainly doesn't specify that they must be chosen by popular vote. There are other ways that a slate of electors can be chosen.

I also don't see how Trump's post election shenanigans could possibly impact the election of senators. They already will have been elected by the time he starts interfering with the vote count or trying to tie everything up in the courts. Hell, his Senate makeup might benefit from throwing out mail in ballots too.

I don't trust Turtle. I think you are probably not going to be able to reassure me on this.

4. I almost wish he wasn't such a GD coward that he would try to fight it.

Seeing him dragged out, or better yet, rolled out feet-first under a sheet, would be a damn fine thing. Damn fine indeed.

But, he is in fact an immense coward. So there won't be any fighting. Some sniveling maybe. Some petulance. But no fighting.

[texasfiddler]

5. One thing. He is Stupid.

He may be an immoral conman, but he is not strategic. It will eventually catch up to him. Unfortunately we still have to deal with his base

[Stuart G]

10. Stupid and Clueless. He will peacefully leave..Here is why....If he doesn't peacefully leave,

the videos of him resisting to leave, or being carried out, will stop him from being on shows and
from being interviewed. He won't have a following because Donald Trump will always be asked.....
...............
............."..WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE PEACEFULLY, YOU LOST BY A LARGE MARGIN?"

and Trump will lose by a large margin..just wait and see. ..
.................... And Trump will leave peacefully or always be
asked the above question. And he will not want to answer that question, and be known as the

loser of an election who....'DID NOT LEAVE PEACEFULLY......OR ....................

THE ONLY LOSER ...ETC.........................................

[Thekaspervote]

14. Agree! There is not a MM of space between him and his cult. If there's anything they can't stomach

It’s a loser!!

[C_U_L8R]

6. Try it and see what happens.

There isn't enough popcorn in the entire supply chain for this shitshow.

[spanone]

8. Run this fucker out of our country....

[Stuart G]

11. Yes send the fucker to Russia. That is where he belongs.

[Solly Mack]

16. Tent the WH and fumigate.

[Ilsa]

18. More is needed.

A sage smudging is needed, and possibly an exorcism.

[smirkymonkey]

20. God, I hate him.

There are no words to describe the depths of my contempt for this loathsome POS.
