Time for a Pro-Dem pac to be formed to run ads during NFL games that call for Trump to concede?

Not just NFL games but also on popular shows like "Masked Singer" and on various social media platforms like youtube etc.

With a common theme, directed at the orange felon..

Concede and stop your voter tampering efforts to invalidate voters legally cast ballots.

Let's make a national embarrassment out of Trump, something he unwittingly strives for already. Let's cement his legacy as the orange embarrassment, a reputation that will live on in infamy and will echo for eternity.

Regarding Trump's voter-tampering and efforts to invalidate votes, his continued lawsuits and refusal to concede are national security threats.

Democrats, it's time to take the gloves off. Trump is giving us no other choice.

I'm starting to sound like a robot with this same reply.

I do agree with many here that the money needs to be spent in Ga.

But also, a transition to Pres Biden is vital.

Biden will be getting PDB briefings starting Monday and his pandemic team is also conferring with Dr. Fauci. Trump conceding or not will have no effect whatsover on the transition.

I recently wrote a thread asking if Trump was committing contempt of court and you replied with info on Rule 11, which opened my eyes.

This news about the GSA approving the start of the transition to Biden is great news.

However, I can already predict that the orange felon will issue an executive order that will attempt to stop said transition from starting.

Would that EO have any legal fangs?

a rule created by a federal agency, and they can be challenged in court and overturned if they violate other laws or the Constitution. Since the approval of the transition by the GSA is pretty well set in stone, an EO by Trump won't go anywhere.

He will leave and he’ll be treasonous just like always. He’s a lame duck. The military sided with the constitution.

Why do you want people to waste money and time on something that won't make a difference ?

I always wonder about these things.

Trump didn't need to concede for Biden to be President.

Call out their lies on the tRump tax bill, healthcare and Social Security/Medicaid via public and social media ads.

Those issues are important to all Americans and tRump's concession has little or no practical meaning.

Concession or not, he is out on Jan 20, 2020 at noon, West Front of the US Capitol. A new President will be sworn in regardless of his confession. What he does between now and then will be part of the Trump history. There is no stopping that, but at noon on the 20th. This shit show comes to an end.
