F'ng scamming shitbags. If that happens, there will be a revolution. I am sure of it.


The idea seems to have come first from a "conservative" talk show host. Mini Trump retweeted it.

OK now Trump is at the podium spewing more lies than one could imagine possible. The man needs to be in a straight jacket.

It's mad. He's essentially saying that the entire machinery of the voting system was rigged against him. He sounds like somebody with a narcissistic personality disorder, but some armed lunatic could easily take him seriously and start some shooting.

The first salvos of his long planned actual coup of the institutions and systems of governance. But I think he knows he doesnt have enough people behind these next steps of judicial corruption nor extra-judicial force. He sounds like he knows he lost and will be a loser.

Yes, he's downbeat and seems to see the writing on the wall but the narcissism won't let it through, hence all the "they're out to get me" stuff.

Surely Republicans, even at this late stage, could earn themselves some respect, or self-respect, by standing up and disassociating themselves from this.

Bannon has talked of beheadings and heads on spikes today "I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England. I’d put the heads on pikes, right, I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats,” Eric calling for "Total war" I think the plan was for violence on the streets to put pressure on the courts. I dont think ( I hope) that it will happen.

No, I don't see organized uprisings.

It's perfectly possible that some lone lunatic will go and shoot some people though.

Wonder how Ms. Barrett feels about this spotlight.

"During an appearance on the Fox Business Network’s Lou Dobbs Tonight on Thursday, the co-chair of the recently formed Lawyers for Trump coalition explicitly called on the Supreme Court to intervene in the 2020 election.

After listing off baseless accusations of fraud in the ongoing Pennsylvania vote count, Harmeet Dhillon told Lou Dobbs, “Meanwhile, we’re waiting for the United States Supreme Court, of which the president has nominated three justices, to step in and do something. And hopefully Amy Coney Barrett will come through and pick it up.”
