Bernstein on CNN: Trump's final strategy is total scorched-earth.

[mobeau69]

Leave no doubt Biden supporters.

1. It's going to be a rough time, but we will be triumphant.

[liberal N proud]

2. They will commit many crimes in the next 10 days

And after, they will not go easily.

We need to be prepared for their shenanigans

[mobeau69]

5. He's a wanted killer with hostages, surrounded by the cops, with no intention to go down alone.

[Trueblue Texan]

12. All true, but let's not forget...

...he's a huge coward. I mean, the greatest coward you've ever seen, the likes of which the WORLD has never seen!

[Boomerproud]

7. You are 100% correct in your statements.

Question: How can we as citizens protect ourselves from his perfidy/lawlessness?

[kiri]

16. There is little to stop him.

The point is they do not to have to 'win'. They win simply by creating chaos and distrust. And endless delays. The courts now are pro=trump authoritarianism. As trump has done before, he will will ignore any decisions he does not like. There is little to stop him.

Trumpists feel great by violating every norm.

9. and if they lose in a landslide

they'll commit many more crimes in November, December and January

[Sherman A1]

17. Yes, they most certainly will do so.

[liberal N proud]

20. That is certain

[uponit7771]

15. They have nearly 3 months afterwards to commit even more crimes

[erronis]

18. And that's when the wounded animals are the most dangerous

nothing to lose.

They know their lives will be less than worthless after he loses what he stole.

[underpants]

3. Nothing but him. Senate be damned. State legislatures be damned.

IF he loses, IF, there will be a punching down session like no one has ever seen. Only Ivanka will be safe.

[Cha]

4. So PreDICtable.

[Awsi Dooger]

6. Yep...Trump ads designed to scare Florida seniors are all over NFL telecasts today

I saw two back to back during the Pittsburgh/Tennessee game: Biden will destroy small businesses, he'll force you out of your private insurance and chosen doctor, and hospitals will close.

That's the crap they are going with. One local citizen after another matter of factly lying

[sprinkleeninow]

8. One like that playing in states. Millions unemployed as of 10/20. Biden's fault.

tЯump is gonna save Social Security and Medicare.

Lying liars.

[warmfeet]

10. I think Democrats will prevail.

I will do everything within my power to help that outcome.

I have very little power, but I will help in any way I can.

[brooklynite]

11. What does

[Hortensis]

13. Bernstein's been calling him dangerous, unstable and a "total nut job,"

and so on, for some time. I'd really hate to be proven wrong more than usual, but Trump's idea of scorched earth may be somewhat less than mine. I think he's a dangerous coward, afraid to do anything that would endanger him.

He just seemingly threatened to settle scores with some Republican senators by saying he couldn't support them without losing his "soul."

And then there is the populace who have failed him so badly that he will always need to exact still more revenge on. But he's already headed for a half million dead there, doing his best to make the ACA's previous conditions coverage and eventually other social programs unconstitutional, and much else people don't seem to suspect may be narcissistic rage-induced vengeance.

14. Straight from the end of Season 4 of Babylon 5

19. Scorched Earth policy?

When Trump's word goes out to burn everything, raze the crops with fire, burn the buildings, shoot the menfolk and put the women and children to the sword, his 'faithful' followers will go . . .

"Nope, there will be a time after you Donald, and we remember the lesson from the Nuremberg trials. Just following orders won't get us off the hook. So sorry, no can do. '

Best to hide the Nuclear Football though, or change the launch codes. Just to be sure . . .
