Stop Asking Trump if he will "Accept" the results of the election!!!

It doesn't matter! What does his "accepting" the results even mean? To quote an asshole: "It is what it is." If he loses, he loses. His personal feelings have nothing to do with what happens next.

Are they trying to goad him into saying he will call out Bikers for Trump? The National Guard? The Armed Forces? Why on earth give him this opportunity to strut and flex for his nutso supporters?

We all have to accept the results of the election. We accepted the results of the last one, didn't we.

"We'll see what happens." You bet. We'll see the U-Haul backing up to the White House.

With legal action (like Bush-v-Gore) he'll try to prevent as many states as possible from... certifying their election results.

he thrives in. But once the results are in and if he loses, he'll get ushered out if it comes to that, and all government agencies will be loyal to the new president. He will be a loser and if he thinks magats in camo carrying AR-15s are going to come to his rescue, he can forget it.

He'll be a loser and they'll cower back under the rocks he coaxed them from under.

5. Totally agree. It's not for him to choose. It's for everyone else.

"We'll see what happens." A line that also belongs to everyone.

People and the press need to stop treating this wimpy, bloated cretin like he's some all-powerful being. Who cares if he "accepts" the result. Fuck him. He loses and he's out. Period. And no, the military isn't going to save him, not the SCOTUS, not the bikers. We'll look back on this notion and wonder why it ever got as much attention as it has.

Whatever he claims makes no difference because he lies , and loves to threaten others with things he's pulled out of his backside. Wish all the media would ignore his empty claims and all his lies and propaganda he promotes.

11. It's strange. I don't recall them ever asking Hillary

or Joe Biden this question.

Ever hear them ask Joe about Donnie Dipshit getting golden showers from Russian hookers?

But they can't wait to ask Dipshit Donnie if Kamala is eligible to be VP, or if Hillary and Oprah drink the blood of children.

Just think about that... and then ask me why a shit ton of the folks cosplaying as journalist shouldn't be relegated to doing nothing but covering the obituaries in some Dumbfuckistan Murika shithole for the rest of their miserable lives.

Actually, that would be getting off easy compared to what happened to the propagandist at Nuremberg.
