Trump and Transfer of Power

[togor]

By refusing to publicly acknowledge the sacred tradition of PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER as the bedrock principle of our self-governing republic, Trump disrespects the foundations of the country himself. RED can say anything he wants about ruining the country, but nothing will ruin it like a President that refuses to accept an election law, and a corrupt party that abets him. If the worst case scenario comes to pass, the real traitors are Trump, RED, and everyone else who goes along.

I hate to trivialize the seriousness of the situation with a sports analogy, but if pitchers decided they did not care if the umpire threw them out of the game or not, and proceeded to throw at each new batter, and bats came out of the dugout to be used as clubs, then the enterprise of a baseball game is lost. The point being that the rules can only be pushed so far before the common enterprise falls apart. But that feels like where we are now, that a Conservative movement that begin in the 1970's with idealism then turned to pragmatism, then cynicism, has now embraced fatalism. Get what is there to be had now, regardless of the future consequences.

A supreme court judge has to time their death perfectly. They didn't get the job by being sloppy; A little late Ruth to be making requests.

Why are you so upset Togey, President Trump will still be President Trump no matter what. Slo Joe is just running in a circle chasing his tail and the "tail" of anyone else. Only an idiot will believe that Slo Joe is going to get anything but the door.

Did I miss something???.. Did Trump lose the election and refuse to accept it?????

[togor]

Yes Ray you did miss his threats. He is already contesting mail-in ballot results in the court of public opinion. The Trumpian "everybody knows" without a shred of fact behind it. But that's how the base thinks, so it resonates.

[dryheat]

Trump likes to argue. He just can't shut up. I want him to shut up,but he won't shut up.

You mean the election is over and he lost and he did that?.. Keep in mind...Threats don't count unless it happens....

Crooked Hillary has said in an interview "If Trump wins the election there will be a revolution". Pelosi has said "We will impeach Trump every day of the week" and "We have many arrows in our quiver". At Trump's inauguration the O'Bamas were the rudest ever of any President passing on the White House keys. In January of 2016 just days before Trump's inauguration, the Clintons, O'Bammas and, yes, Biden were planning how to destroy Trump. Does all this sound like 'peaceful' people to you?

[togor]

Trump needs to be destroyed. He knows that, he knows what a mess he is making, but he doesn't care. If he has to bring every Republican down to his level of corruption to survive, he will. In that sense the problem is the broader corruption of the Republican party. Not Conservative ideas, but the GOP as a criminal enterprise.

[Roadkingtrax]

The only play the POTUS has is to act passive-aggressive towards the media, say something outrageous, and then complain when it gets attention.

Just take into account everything he's ever said, and the media follows along. The best thing that could ever happen would have been to dial down his attention, but they've never done that.

To paraphrase Dryheat, it would be nice if he just shut up.

[togor]

Well the whole picture is....if it's close he'll burn it all down if he has to as a means of staying in power. I agree he distracts like that but as already posted, the administration plans to induce GOP legislatures to invalidate their own election results as a means of keeping power. Anyone who doesn't think this is a dangerous moment is fooling themselves.
