President Trump predicted that the U.S. Supreme Court will decide the outcome of the November election and argued the Senate should confirm his nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to break any tie, Bloomberg reports.
Said Trump: I think this will end up in the Supreme Court and I think its very important that we have nine justices, and I think the systems going to go very quickly.
He added: I think this scam that the Democrats are pulling, its a scam, this scam will be before the United States Supreme Court and I think having a 4-4 situation is not a good situation. Just in case it would be more political than it should be, I think its very important to have a ninth judge.

The orange monkey doesn't know what he's talking about, and is full of crap as usual. Never again should anyone ever ever believe a republican or their word. Never again.

(90,785 posts)Trump will challenge anything and everything no matter how wrong he is and then push the issue up to the SCOTUS. Anything to retain power.

Every time I see people praising Nicolle Wallace, I want to scream with frustration.

I expect nothing from any of them. They all need to go take an ethics course.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." - Maybe Goebbels, maybe some other Nazi
Part Two:
"It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes." - Maybe Stalin, maybe some other totalitarian
"As long as I count the Votes, what are you going to do about it?" - Boss Tweed
Looks like Dumpy is working his totalitarian "Big Lie" routine to lay the groundwork for having his totalitarian goons "count" the votes.

(6,565 posts)Here in California you can take your completed ballot and turn it into any polling place. Then you can track your ballot.
You won't have to linger. Mask up, keep it business-like, and return home, or whatever.
If for some reason you didn't get your ballot (ahem,) then you can ask for a provisional ballot, and vote that way. It is handled differently than a straight forward ballot. They know who was supposed to get what kind of ballot, and they will check to make sure you didn't vote twice. But, they have to count your ballot.
We have to turn out in the millions and vote these traitors out of office. Each person's ballot is important. Our mission is to get this done.

(82,849 posts)I'm sure you'd like your coterie of hand-picked judges to hand you another term, but that's not what's going to happen. Millions upon millions of Americans are going to decide this election, and that's not good news for you.

(11,495 posts)He is trying to make people think that no matter what he is going to win, and that's not going to happen. He is doing this for his "cult" followers, and I would be willing to bet he is making request for more money from those morons who think he is some kind of god.
His main goal right now is making all the money he can off of his supporters so he can "skim" millions into his own pockets.
GET OUT THE VOTE! that's the way to stop this insanity!
