A friend of mine brought up a good point about Trump and the Supreme Court.

Even if Trump loses the general election again, he will use the same tactics to get the courts to reject the election results& they don’t rule for Trump his radical base will have a uprise and it it will be worse than the J-6 riots!

A scary thought for sure.

This is Trump’s court and anything can happen.

That is exactly what I was thinking this evening as I was watching Joy Reid on MSNBC!! If Trump loses big, MAGAts will try to start a Civil War.

They delayed all of his trials to help him get elected.
Then once in the WH he shuts down all investigations against him permanently.

Congress gets seated on January 3rd, so it would be the new Congress that would count the Electors, or if it's a tie, vote on the Presidency.

More reason to take the House this election.

that we will get Trump as president again, this time for life.
SCOTUS is also willing to ignore law and precedent to install their side in power.

If there is a civil war it should come from our side, not theirs.

9. If repukes riot ..... Bring on the national guard. Throw them violent criminals in jail.

If repukes bring guns and shoot.... Guard and no alternative but take self defence measures and shoot back.

If Biden wins, these loser bullies will not destroy the USA.

 

Think. Again.

...to be only one of the possible paths back into the whitehouse.

They WILL do whatever they can to install him into the oval office, and possibly other republicans into the open House and Senate seats.

This is ASSURED by the fact they have already attempted such actions.

We need a massive Blue election wave, and we need to be prepared on all levels to combat whatever other maneuvers they planning.
