1. God damn, I guess we're going to rehash this shit every day now eh?

Literally every GD day a variation of the same thing is posted.

[denem]

2. I like Rick Wilson's answer -

trump / trumpism must be crushed, castrated, murdered in the general - TKO, providing Biden a firm foundation to govern.

[Me.]

3. I GUess So

and saw a psychologist say it despresses the vote, so who benefits by pusting this junk?

[LakeArenal]

4. Yes, seems so. Maybe......

What if fairies fly down from heaven or Lindsay Graham gets write in votes.

If trump doesn’t leave, we’ll take him out in a straight jacket.

[Hoyt]

6. +1. If he's beat, he's gone. His lame duck months will include a lot of whining, blustering, etc.

But, he's gone.

Worrying about whether he leaves is a waste of time at this point, and won't help us win in November.

[SoonerPride]

14. This is not about him "not leaving" the WH

This exercise is entirely about how Barr et all takes it to SCOTUS

[BannonsLiver]

15. It's a variation of the same tired bleating

[SoonerPride]

16. Then feel free to trash the thread and move on. Or you could compain about it. Whichever.

[BannonsLiver]

17. I must have missed the part where I cared about your opinion.

Feel free to move on yourself.

5. If he doesn't win teh election,

he will be escorted out of the white house by the secret service. Just as they would escort anyone else out who was not legaly allowed to be there. Period.

Focus on the real issue: There are enough idiots out there that he may actually win. Your focus shold be on that, not conspiracy fantasies.

[Wounded Bear]

9. I suspect the SS is tired of his shit and would be glad to "escort" him out...

[SoonerPride]

13. This is not if he loses and refuses to leave. You need to read the op-ed.

It is what does he and his minions, Barr et al, do to challenge the loss in the media and more importantly in SCOTUS.

[Harry_Truman]

21. Harry_Truman says

Leave?!! He will need to be dragged out. Fully expect that he will tell his minions to take to the streets.

[lagomorph777]

7. Yawn. Same shit different day.

Of course he will do exactly that. He never stopped claiming he won the popular vote in 2016. Nobody gives a shit. If he won't leave the White House, we'll lay seige to it by cutting off the KFC and Berder King supplies. Drag him out in cuffs.

[we can do it]

8. Not this shit again.

10. When Trump Loses the Election, He Will Need a Pardon

so he doesn't get prosecuted in federal court. So, he will resign and have Pence pardon him and his family. He has between November and January to do that. Donald J. Trump thinks of Donald J. Trump first in everything, so that's what he'll do.

This discussion keeps coming up here. It is a foolish discussion. Trump will take the path that provides the most safety for himself, and his family as a second consideration.

While that pardon from Pence will not protect him against any possible state charges, it will protect him from his major risks of prosecution. As far as I know, no former President has ever been charged by a state for anything done while serving as President. I doubt Trump will be, either.

Trump loses and resigns with a full, blanket federal pardon for everything he may have done as President.

Maybe instead of hashing this nonsense out over and over again, we could focus on helping to make sure his loss is a huge one. That would be something useful we could do.

[Brainfodder]

11. Laughable, we'll have proof, he is one 74 year old, I think we can remove his sorry arse.

[PRETZEL]

12. I saw an interview with one of them the other night,

not sure which one though.

And I guess I'm still not sure about the the reality of this,

My main question is based off the individual states Constitutional requirements about when an automatic recount is kicked in. In PA, I believe it's .05% (but don't quote me on that). If it's above that, then it's up to the campaign to challenge the vote and ask for a recount. Now, they can call for a state wide or a targeted recount. The campaign calling for the recount is financially responsible for the costs born out of that. So, if the Trump campaign needs for example 70k votes in order to overtake Sen. Biden. Does he call for a recount in Phillly and Pittsburgh? Those are not only the 2 most populous areas, but are also the heaviest concentration of Dem voters so it'll be at his own peril to do that.

This will have to be done in all 3 states that the authors identified as the targets.

18. Please give it a rest.

The Supreme Court and the Republicans are not going to allow trump of all people to destroy this country.

[LiberalFighter]

19. I'm getting sick of these scenarios being suggested.

[Fiendish Thingy]

20. There are inaccuracies in the above article

AFAIK, Governors do not certify election results, Secretaries of State do.

In Michigan, electors are appointed by the winner of the certified popular vote, certified by the SOS. The legislature has no role or authority in the process. The Trump campaign would have to seek a court injunction to stop/overturn the certification. The process varies from state to state.

Per the 12th amendment, the President is the candidate who wins a majority of appointed electors. Any state whose electors are blocked from being appointed thus reduces the total number of EV’s need to win below 270.

There will be no recount for SCOTUS to stopif the margin is wide enough to prevent it (varies from state to state, but typically 0.5% or less)

Certainly, Trump may try this strategy, but IMO, is unlikely to succeed.

The biggest risk is the Larger number of absentee/mail in ballots in swing states, delaying final results by a week or more, giving Trump time to declare victory and sow chaos.

22. I appreciate your response.

I didn't know this had been hashed so many times. I'm going to delete this in a few minutes.
