‘Save the USA!!!’ Trump suggests SCOTUS overturn election because Biden ‘will be a scandal plagued mess

Published 1 min ago on December 11, 2020
By Brad Reed

President Donald Trump on Friday pushed the United States Supreme Court to overturn the 2020 presidential election on the supposed grounds that President-elect Joe Biden “will be a scandal plagued mess.”

Trump, apparently reacting to the news that Biden’s son, Hunter, is being investigated for potential tax fraud, wrote on Twitter that the Supreme Court would now be justified in stripping away the electoral votes from key swing states in order to give him a second term.

“Now that the Biden Administration will be a scandal plagued mess for years to come, it is much easier for the Supreme Court of the United States to follow the Constitution and do what everybody knows has to be done,” the president wrote. “They must show great Courage & Wisdom. Save the USA!!!”

As John Dean pointed out:

Damnit! I can't find the actual tweet right now, but I'll try to demonstrate from memory.

244 is greater than 232

BIDEN STILL WINS!

If he wins any of these, he can say he won more which will animate his base. Also, winning any of these would affirm to his base that it was stolen. He's still benefitting $$ from the rage. Plus, as long as the base is with him, the republican elected leaders are, too.

I'm pretty sure the nation will withstand the next eight years of republicans digging up old speeding tickets.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think the Supreme Court can overturn a popular vote because they like Trump better. Unless his name is actually in the constitution.

The psychological term for that tweet is projection.

He is what he is. It is the others doing his bidding that enable this insane rambling. He has infected a big swath of the Republican Party. Thank goodness the Courts are slapping him down.

This Nazi type stuff is not new here.....but now social media has made it easier to infect pliable people.

All the "scandals" they have literally no evidence to back them up. Why? Because they made them up. Benghazi, Seth Rich, Hillary's e-mails, voter fraud... it's all made up bullshit. And conservatives control the narrative because they have 1500 radio stations and 3 24/7 TV networks at their disposal.

Claiming it would be the most troubled from corruption, most investigated, and be harmful to our country. He always projects HIS weaknesses onto others. He knows its lies claiming what he wants, absolute power, isn't constitutional, and so does the Supreme Court justices. A President doesn't have the power to make up stuff to appoint himself the winner bypassing the American people's votes, so soon he'll try threats when the courts refuse him, again. Republicans allowing this to happen should wake up people in the upcoming GA election against them.

I hope his SCOTUS lackies note his utter disrespect and contempt towards them, by suggesting that they are easily corrupted, that he has provided them the *excuse* they needed to perform his will.

It is all just so nauseating.

excuse to try to impeach Biden. Of course whatever charge will be a hypocritical example of much worse offenses by the GOP. They will yammer on and on about restoring the honor and integrity of the office after spending fours years of helping Trump to destroy the office.
