70. "If the majority of us POOH POOH this possibility the magats will have nothing to worry about."

Do you really think Kamala Harris would put up with this? That woman don't play. If she legitimately wins, then, one way or another, she's not going to be denied what she earned.

There's no doubt in my mind that Kamala Harris is going to prevail. Mark my words. Bookmark this thread.

Unless Trump legitimately wins (which he won't), he's toast. Between now and November his poll numbers are going to be in free fall. By Election Day even kindergarten students are going to be able to recite by memory whole passages from Project 2025. If Trump thinks he's just going to be allowed to waltz back into the White House as a result of brazen Republican shenanigans ('legal' or otherwise), it's not going to work. Our side holds all the power. We've got the imperial president. We're in control of the U.S. military and the national guard. We've got Marc Elias and his team of top-notch lawyers experienced in kicking Republican ass in court. We will not accept a coup.

When we fight we win!

Only way to stop this is to signal to them now that our response Eliot Rosewater Aug 2024 #3

I have to agree, the DOJ needs to make strong public statements that they are prepared... Think. Again. Aug 2024 #10

That sounds right. I agree -- as hard as it is to even imagine. KPN Aug 2024 #88

Fortunately the President can now act with official immunity Rstrstx Aug 2024 #8

This would indeed be the time to use that new power. n/t birdographer Aug 2024 #41

Good point. I'm sure Biden would do that. But KPN Aug 2024 #89

I like it. But will the DoJ and DoD go along? KPN Aug 2024 #90

That is not how that works Zeitghost Aug 2024 #110

Ok, so when he arrests people for not doing their job Rstrstx Aug 2024 #117

The Georgia law on this is contrary to federal law that protects the right to vote wnylib Aug 2024 #54

Good questions. I hope the organizational elements of our party are fully prepared to do so KPN Aug 2024 #91

In a state where the govt is red top to bottom... TommyT139 Aug 2024 #36

Not true. The constitution gives people the right to vote. wnylib Aug 2024 #62

Not according to Marc Elias (and many others) TommyT139 Aug 2024 #96

After what they were willing to do on Jan. 6, you really think everything is just fine? Think. Again. Aug 2024 #20
