With all the R senators backing him in the "election fraud" fight, is there a chance he won't actually leave in January? That he could manage to invalidate the results somehow and/or throw us into leadership limbo for years with a prolonged court battle? It's such a scary thought!
I'm not an attorney, but my understanding is that they would need to present evidence of voter fraud. I don't think they have any.
These are the kind of stories that scare me though. https://www.wdbj7.com/2020/11/06/police-men-with-guns-and-virginia-plates-arrested-near-vote-counting-in-philly/
No, there is no chance of that happening. He can litigate all he wants, but if there is uncertainty as of January 21, then Nancy Pelosi as speaker will become president :)
All the smart people say not to worry, but we're still in the Trump Era. Anything is possible.
HAHAHA! Not really funny, but this is so true. We often live in alternate-reality times.
Exactly! After all those "don't worry, Biden's got this" election predictions, I no longer believe anything.
A lot of "smart" people now look really dumb. Just saying...
He could very well incite a civil war. Nothing is absolute, not even the constitution or our democracy. It's only as good as our implicit agreement that it is.
This is meant as a lame joke - ”all the wrong people are already armed for the civil war”.
No. He is going to capitalize on this to raise as much money as he can, and then slink off to Mar-a-Lago and play golf (until the Manhattan DA places him in handcuffs).
From your lips...
I posted before that I was scared about his supporters rising up
I am so upset and so so angry with republicans for enabling this big democracy-smashing, spoiled, despotic orange baby and his giant international tantrum. Seriously - f these people. This is our country and our democracy and they don't give AF if we become a global laughing stock that gets attacked by every corrupt regime in this moment of self inflicted weakness and humiliation.
Emily Murphy, administrator of General Services Administration, still refuses to affirm that Biden won the election.

Over my dead body.. and I think millions feel the same way. We would storm the WH. I'm hoping he pushes it too far and gets charged with treason for attempting a coup.
Civil war is definitely what 2020 needs.
I don't think so. Several GOP senators have either already congratulated him or affirmed that he won. James Lankford (Oklahoma) just said today that if Biden doesn't start receiving Nat'l Sec. briefings by Friday, he will step in and make sure he gets them.
