those losers can say whatever they want about a cough who gives a shit
Because they have a secret cure cooked up in the same labs that created the virus that renders them all immune to their own weapons, letting them invade and burn down every picture of Reagan and Trump everywhere.
...or something. There will always be some fucking story.
Why would you care?
If you read parler, even to poke fun of people, you are a user of parler. Don't be a user of parler.
You dirty tease. I was confused for a good 10 seconds as to why he had not powered up yet.
Who cares. If it wasn't this they will find something else to attack him on.
I mean, he might just have a cold? He had a dry throat and needed water?
I know the fear is "it's covid" but he's getting tested on a regular basis. If he had covid we would know.
I can't believe I survived 4 years of this hell. If I can survive this presidency I can survive anything
The issue is the 4th year of his term is the biggest one since it's connected to the pandemic and that Trumpism isn't going away.
Bible? Don't you mean SOCIALIST manifesto written in CHINA by COMMUNISTS and transmitted by BILL GATES through 5G towers??
As long as democrats control the house the absolute worst case legally is acting president Pelosi on Jan 20th.
No chance. Even if a Senator rejects the electoral results in a specific state it leads to Congress going to two separate chambers for a 2 hour debate and both sides need to agree in order to get the results thrown out. That's not happening with a Democratic-controlled House.
If I recall correctly, this is set in stone. If congress refuses to seat Biden, Nancy Pelosi will become interim president by default. Which I think would be viewed as worse to Republicans tbh.
Either way, Trump is out in January no matter what.
Nope as long as Democrats control the house either Biden is president or worse case Pelosi will be handed the presidency. Trump has no legal recourse.
If Pelosi became interim, who would then become the actual president? Would there need to be another election?
What about outside of the military? I'm fearing that the current pro-Trump protests will morph into riots just to give an excuse to call for a national emergency.
His followers might. But Trump himself is a coward. And if he somehow were to go as far as to declare martial law, the military wouldn't back him - a majority of the military doesn't like Trump and Mark Milley already said post-election that the military follows the constitution, not the president.
It's not possible. Even if the GOP manages to raise an objection (which requires at least one representative and one senator, and no senators have said they would do this yet), a majority of both houses would need to agree to it. With a dem majority house that's impossible.
No, both houses would have to vote to eliminate electoral votes and Democrats control the House. It's a done deal. There may be objections, but they're just theatrics at this point.
I bet a lot of Republican senators actually would prefer if there weren't objections, because it could be a politically toxic vote for vulnerable senators up for reelection in two years. However, the real crazies are in the House and they're the ones that'll bring the objections.
What are the chances Trump will concede tonight while taking a diarrhea dump on his golden toilet?
I'm not sure to be honest. Not sure if she fills out the whole term, or just until Congress seats Biden. I don't believe there is another election however.
He won't concede. He'll just run off to Mar-a-Lago for the remainder of his term and disappear from The Whitehouse because he's a fucking loser.
No. There is literally nothing they can do except delay the final certification, in which case Nancy Pelosi becomes President on January 20th.
It's over.
I hope people learn from this and try to do whatever they can to make sure they vote each election, for any politician, not just Presidents, to prevent things like Trump and the actions he was able to push through from happening again. We need more people in power that actual speak for people instead of doing everything they can to keep getting corporate donations for next election.
We are so so lucky the Dems took over the House in 2018. We would be absolutely royally fucked otherwise and the election would be overturned. No doubt in my mind.
Republicans have now normalized the idea of overturning elections. Next time we won't be so lucky.

He might go nuclear on the gop runoffs but that's via words not actiob
