1. In other words, if there are no ballots, I'll just continue on as "your" President.

The guy is truly insane.

[BadgerMom]

7. It's like COVID tests.

If we don’t test, we’ll have no COVID. If we don’t vote, he won’t lose. Simple.

[Rebl2]

18. I don't

even know what he means, get rid of the ballots. Even people that go stand in line at their polling place? This man is beyond an idiot and insane.

[King_Klonopin]

42. He wants all mail-in ballots to be invalidated (IOW, thrown in the garbage) n/t

[yuiyoshida]

35. You forgot to say....

CONTINUE ON AS YOUR PRESIDENT FOR LIFE...because that's what the mf'er is saying.

[They_Live]

50. "your FAVORITE president for life"

He needs to go away for good.

[olegramps]

47. The major problem is that Republicans are living in an alternative information universe.

They have been convinced that they are truly the protectors and anointed saviors of the Republic. They believe that anyone who questions the ridiculous utterances of their leader are traitors. It is an impossible situation to attempt to convince them that they are being misled.

This is the power of propaganda and which many have vainly attempted to counteract only to find that it is a virtually impossible venture. As many have observed it is a situation that is analogous to what transpired in Germany and led to disastrous conclusion. It was only were their cities lay in ruin that they awakened to the fact that they had been naively led into ruination. The players in this tragedy is only one of many similar consequences when people sacrifice their objectivity and freedoms for what they have been convinced by charlatans that they are sole protectors against undefined bogus threats.

Those who are adherents and uncompromising followers are being compromised by a variety of various interest groups ranging from plutocrats who are driven by greed, politicians who are dependent of exploiting their offices to religious fanatics who are convinced that their mission is divinely inspired. Everyone of these are willing to sacrifice the fellow citizens freedoms for their own selfish gains.

[liberalla]

2. God I hate this man!

[SergeStorms]

3. To a person who's been handed everything in life...

losing just doesn't compute. His ego-addled brain refuses to believe people don't love and adore him. If he doesn't win he's going to kick, scream, and hold his breath until he turns blue. Starting with a brilliant orange face could definitely exacerbate the turning blue part.

We're going to see a toddler tantrum never before witnessed by the American people. He has absolutely no sense of shame, no compassion, no dignity, no honesty and no class. He's the most empty human being I've ever observed.

[global1]

4. Why Are They Even Asking Questions Like This Of Trump?.....

It's almost like they are giving him permission to break the law and to steal the election.

What did they think Trump would say? He's always going to take it to the extreme and this is what he did by answering that question.

Every time he pushes the envelope - he gets away with things. Because he's being asked questions like this he feels that people will expect this kind of behavior from me - so I might as well do it.

[Mme. Defarge]

6. IMPEACH HIM!!!

IMPEACH WILLIAM BARR!!!

They are flagrantly violating the oath of their offices.

[Rebl2]

21. I agree!

[Evolve Dammit]

38. x10000000!

[BadgerMom]

8. I agree with you. He just gets to perform his miscreancy.

[EarlG]

9. I feel like every time he does this

it just peels away another thin slice of wavering Republican voters.

Just when the GOP thinks they can turn the election into a referendum on SCOTUS instead of a referendum on Trump, he doubles down with some new piece of psycho nonsense that other Republicans will now have to defend. He’s stuck at 42-43% and he has just a few weeks left to win back moderate voters who could be persuaded to give him a second chance. Instead he’s saying “if you don’t want violence, cancel the election.” It’s insane. His hardcore support is maxed out, all he’s going to do is turbocharge the rest of the electorate against him.

(Plus I think I’d rather have him loudly telegraphing his crazy plans than sneaking up on us with them at the last minute.)

[love_katz]

48. I really am hoping with all my might that you are correct, EarlG.

Please, oh please, let it be true that this latest wanna be dictator for life DOES turbocharge all of us who are in opposition to him, his enablers, and their agenda!!!! May we become such a juggernaut, that we flatten them and their horrid plans FOREVER! I can see why most of us are jittery. We thought that Hillary Clinton would certainly win in the last election. Instead, through Russian interference and Republiturd cheating, we got Agolf Twitler. I doubt any of us will completely relax until we know the results for sure, and we have flushed The Turd on November 3rd.

[bucolic_frolic]

20. They're putting him on record

It's good that he's letting us know his intentions, and Barr's intentions, and perhaps other cabinet departments, so that Americans know what to expect and what to plan for. Everyone is watching him. No one can say they didn't know well in advance.

[3catwoman3]

22. Exactly. QUIT AKSING!!!

Has any other occupant of the White House ever been asked this? Not that I can recall.

[Ilsa]

25. I'm glad they asked him. I'm glad he showed everyone

how desperate he is. I'm glad he's on record for being the anti-democratic candidate he is, that he will try to act like a dictator.

I want to see who in his administration tries to back this behavior.

[SammyWinstonJack]

49. Playing right into his hands, giving him permission to act out.

They would never ask a Democrat that question, the answer wouldn't cause the controversy the M$M seeks.

[Laelth]

5. Yes. That's exactly what he said.

God save the Republic. (or Goddess—doesn’t matter to me.)



-Laelth

[niyad]

10. A repub congress would have already impeached and convicted by news time a Democratic

president who even HINTED at such an outcome. Fucking, treasonous bastards.

[OneBro]

11. I'll say one thing for Trump: He is a master at one-upping his own crazy.

It's as though there is a staff working 24/7 in his skull trying to come of with new ways of making the Trump from the day before seem just a bit less crazy. At this point I'd actually feel safer locked in a room with an angry, hungry monkey with a loaded gun, and there I sit tied to a chair and covered in peanut butter. At least I'd have a chance talking some sense into the monkey.

[orangecrush]

12. I sure hope contingency plans

Are in place.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Logically he's saying 'If you ditch the ballots it will be a peaceful continuation'

implying that if you don't ditch the ballots to make him the winner, it won't be peaceful.

Unbelievable. Abusive. Dictatorial.

[Dr. Jack]

14. I have little concern that Trump could cling onto power when loses

But the epic temper tantrum will likely get a lot of people killed. Your average American doesn't like trump, at all, and doesn't want to live under a dictatorship. He will be leaving the white house, one way or another. How it happens is going to be the real question.

[murielm99]

15. He's gaslighting.

He gets off on it. It makes him happy to strike fear in people and to behave cruelly.

[keithbvadu2]

16. But Trump is doing nothing to protect the integrity of the mail-in ballots for our military members?

But Trump is doing nothing to protect the integrity of the mail-in ballots for our military members?

[hibbing]

17. Who's next in succession, Jr., Eric, or Ivanka?

[warmfeet]

19. Transfer of power will happen.

His choice whether it's peaceful or not.

This is not insanity, it's willful criminality.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Will some arm of enforcement follow his orders?

Chad Wolf's DHS? Some LE? It may not be cut and dried, it may be there are opposing sides. America has little experience with these situations.

[warmfeet]

56. I guess we will see.

I hope for a peaceful transfer of power, I prepare for other scenarios. I have seen things I would not have believed, prior to my seeing them.

[Srkdqltr]

24. You do realize that he says this stuff to make people crazy. He likes keeping people crazy.

[Initech]

26. He has gone completely mad with power.

[StarryNite]

27. I'm sure putin is so proud of donny.

[judesedit]

28. He knows the electronic voting machines are easily hacked and he's counting on

the Russians or his lackeys to fix it for him again. Can't do it with paper ballots.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

29. Si el pendejo es loco, yet to keep asking same idiotic question and

Last edited Wed Sep 23, 2020, 10:33 PM - Edit history (2)

expecting a different response IS insane! Just tired of listening, watching know nothing guy say repeat the same ole tired routine. Rex Tillerson had it right [allegedly] ...tRump is a f#$king moron!

Yet, here we are same as in 2016-- MSM giving him free airtime to spew his hateful racist propaganda and lies. When he loses, he will be required to leave the WH y punto! If he resists--so be it, he'll be frogmarched out of D.C. where he'll inevitably be indicted for numerous crimes. Y ay sta! [that's it!]

[NoRoadUntravelled]

30. The fact that there would be any question of him leaving the WH when it's time

shows how dysfunctional the entire country has become. The question itself appears to be an admission that we are no longer a Democratic Republic. Think about it. Has anyone ever considered this would be a possibility in any other US election ever?
We used to have laws that meant something.

[XanaDUer2]

31. Yes

Insanity has become normalized. In my life , and I'm 55, did I ever imagine there might not be a peaceful transition of power from one administration to another. Are we a banana republic now?

[NoRoadUntravelled]

33. I never imagined it either. An insane bully in the WH who wants to be a dictator and a Republican

Senate making it all possible.

[Dan]

32. I'm wondering this

If there is violence as a result of Trump’s comments - and hope this doesn’t happen - but people get killed, can Trump be charged at a State level for inciting violence resulting in a wrongful death?

[NoRoadUntravelled]

37. Violence has already been done by those whose social media pages clearly showed

avid support for tRump.

The 17 year old in Kenosha is a good example. He had a front row seat at a tRump rally not long before he murdered 2 people and severely injured another.

Then there's the Nazi rally where Heather Heyer was murdered by a tRump supporter who plowed his vehicle into a group of peaceful protesters. tRump called the Nazis good people after that one.

I recall early in his term how a couple of people on a bus or trolley were defending a couple of Muslim women from a knife wielding tRump supporter. One of them was killed. Remember how his campaign was filled with fear rhetoric for people of Muslim faith? There are many more incidents, these are just a couple.

So far he's been able to say whatever he wants and take no responsibility for the death caused because of it. Kind of like with Covid19.

[yuiyoshida]

34. NONE OF YOU WANT to know what I am thinking right now ,...

AND its so bad i can't say it cause i really want to ,..i really want to.

[First Speaker]

39. Hey--I rather suspect a lot of us are having exactly similar thoughts tonight...

[yuiyoshida]

40. All I WILL SAY is if

BIDEN WINS the election by a landslide, we win the Electoral college and TRUMP TAKES IT TO HIS SUPREME COURT and gets it over turned... SHIT IS GONNA GET REAL.

IF YOU THINK THE LOOTING AND RIOTS WERE SOMETHING, YOU will see a full fledge CIVIL WAR and this time THE SECERT SERVICE WILL TELL HIM...hey JACK, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

[oldsoftie]

44. If it IS by a landslide, which it should be, i jst dont see the judges going along with him.

Another reason to vote in person. TAKE THIS AWAY FROM HIM

[world wide wally]

36. This guy is trying to undermnd our elections and he speaks disdainfully of "the ballots"

What more proof do MAGATs need?
This man is not fit to sit in the same office as our great (and even not so great) Presidents.

[Aussie105]

41. Trump is applying a basic principle

favored by Republicans, immature people and teenagers.

'Your stinkin' rules don't apply to me!'

But giving yourself permission to ignore the rules, usually backfires. Just ask the guy who has given himself permission to drink and drive, or go well over the speed limit. Or those who have chosen to think COVID-19 concerns don't apply to them.

If Trump thinks he can nullify the voting and transfer of power by just ignoring them, he has some bad karma coming his way.

Trump is well out in the open with his disdain of the Constitution, people of color, due political process, the voting system, etc, that some Republicans (at least the ones that aren't totally brain dead) must have objections to.

EDIT: I no longer trust the Media. Any media. They are tagging along with Trump's insanity to gain headlines. Objective reporting and asking the hard questions has gone out the window. They are feeding the Beast just to get a headline.

Reporter: What you going to do when you loose the election?
Trump: Just going to ignore it!
Reporters: Ok, fair enough! No more questions!

[sprinkleeninow]

43. This right here is precisely exactly:

Reporter: What you going to do when you loose the election?
Trump: Just going to ignore it!
Reporters: Ok, fair enough! No more questions!

[oldsoftie]

45. VOTE IN PERSON!!!!! Take the argument away from him. If you're physically able, GO.

You're not going to get sick
Go vote. We must take this option OFF the table.

[duforsure]

46. trumps admitting if you don't vote for me

I'll steal you're vote by letting his appointees bypass them. While he claims others are anarchist, and criminals after he's let thousands of American people die, and attacks our Military , and the rule of law.

[Old Terp]

51. Belarus on the Potomac?

Talk about Putin's Puppet.

[Sedona]

52. Just heard reporter who asked the question on the Stephanie Miller show but didn't catch his name

Can I get a little DU help so I can follow him on Twitter and subscribe to his podcast?

Thanks guys!

54. Clear election interference.

Just saying it, is criminal.

[Dan]

55. Well Donald has upset so many norms, and now this.

I think that since his administration has upset all the norms, then as a Nation we must recognize the need to protect our Country.

1. Invalidate all Pardons that Trump has given or plans to give.
2. Do everything possible to determine if Trump is an agent of Russia - and act.
3. Given that he is trying to incite insurrection in the Nation - put him on trial post election, provide a trial and convict, and then reopen Alcatraz and intern him and Barr.
4. All members of his Cabinet should be charged with sedition, take their wealth and intern at previous location.
5. People that had a senior position in his government that are not natural born citizens should lose their citizenship and be deported, after severing time.
6. The most important thing that we as citizens should be is Ostracize those that made this nightmare possible.
