B-Man Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Who knew Bernie Sanders had some sense after all? So many people are very upset today because Donald Trump did not explicitly commit to “a peaceful transferral of power after the election.” Bernie Sanders is outraged, too. But unlike the others, he at least seems to understand that Donald Trump doesn’t actually have the constitutional authority to transfer power in a non-peaceful way when he’s due to leave the White House: Exactly. So WHY ARE YOU PRETENDING IT'S A LEGITIMATE CONCERN? So Bernie Sanders — however inadvertently it may have been — is actually telling the Resistance to slow their rolls just a bit. It is, however, notable that Bernie Sanders citing the Constitution for the rules when he and so many progressives insist on ignoring what’s actually in the Constitution. Like the stuff about the Senate and SCOTUS confirmations, for example. Oh well. It’s not really fair for us to expect intellectual consistency. He is Bernie Sanders, after all. https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2020/09/24/bernie-sanders-accidentally-undercuts-progressive-outrage-over-donald-trump-and-a-peaceful-transferral-of-power-video/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Even the cult members here who scoffed at the possibility are now squarely behind it as a potential movement. One poster swore up and down he would not back Trump if he tried it. Looking forward to his changed position and pretzel logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Nobody needs to concede on election night if it's close. The constitution and presidential election statutes can handle this. The first key deadline (as in 2000) is the certification/appointment of electors. The "safe harbor" date for states to certify is not until December 8. The electoral college then meets on December 14. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF11641 The Republic survived perfectly well with votes being counted and elections certified weeks or (in the early days) months after election day as results were reported just as soon as they could arrive by horse carriage. It will survive this too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Trump said again in the debate that if he loses he will not accept the verdict of the people. Trump just told us all that he is a dictator. Big surprise, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then of course there's this picture that should end this thread (but it won't): I see three people in that shot who directly contributed to the coup -- and were actively doing so when this picture was taken. There was no peaceful transition of power in 2016. None at all. Why were all of the people in the top photo so hateful-looking? They KNEW they couldn't stay there another four years, right? Why all the smug, arms-crossed, someone-pissed-in-my-post-tosties faces?

They had rigged it so she wouldn't -- yet, there they stood. Looking at an electoral miracle while they shifted their plans from election tampering to a palace coup.

Your first sentence is totally messed up, you nervous? Let’s talk jerking off then! No problem. Are you seriously saying married guys dont yank the crank? Lol. Come on, man!

FYI #1: I only heard the stats on Covid-19 and the elderly yesterday when a doctor interviewed on CBS News was discussing why Trump was being taken to Walter Reed.

dpberr Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I don't think he will refuse to leave. He stands to make tens of millions of dollars from the post Presidency Money Bonanza as all Presidents do. He can make millions from the TV and book deals and from being the face of a PAC. He can design a ridiculously gaudy Presidential library. He can finance Don Jr. or Ivanka for President. He can tweet and opine with absolute abandon. No more handlers. He can run for mayor of NYC or Governor of Florida. Worry about Trump on many things but him not leaving the White House is low on the radar IMO. From my perspective, he has more reasons to leave than to stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
