I was expecting a far more vitriolic broadside with perhaps even an angry imogee or two .. ???? Perhaps on best advice Trump was made aware of the possibility he may be a defendant in an appeal in front of the SCOTUS at some no so distant point of time? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it will be the USA overall having a hard time if the GOP retains their strangle hold. However they will have to be squeaky clean in the process unlike as have been. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh. Did you even read my post before launching into a reply? Obviously missed "if the GOP wins a majority in the house come 2022, expect some large payback. If the GOP still hold the senate they might even impeach and convict Biden". Let’s deal with today’s reality, Trump has lost the election, he’s 39 days away from losing control of the DoJ and his presidential immunity. The lid is about to come off every crime Trump and his administration have been working so hard to hide. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placeholder Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 57 minutes ago, Srikcir said: The 6-3 decision is misleading. 3 'dissented' only to the court decision not issuing a fully written decision to block the lawsuit. To wit: the 3 USSC judges said in a statement accompanying the order that if the case was allowed to be filed, they would grant NO OTHER RELIEF. In effect USSC had a 100% consensus to deny the lawsuit. So much for Trump's and Republican Senators scheme to re-elect if necessary Trump through the USSC based on loyalty to Trump and his political party in judges nominations and selection. Trump asked the Court to make the correct constitutional decision and it did. Actually it was 7 to 2. And of course the Supreme Court justices couldn't stop or postpone the electoral tally of the 4 states in question since the Constitution specifically says all the states have to do it on the same day. It just shows how dishonest are the news sources that Trump supporters rely on that this fact seems never to have been mentioned. At least, those posting here in the belief that the Supreme Court would back Trump never even mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity the SCOTUS didn't allow it as if the election was won fair and square Biden would still be POTUS come Jan 20, but the matter would be settled. Just refusing to take the case means that the accusation of fraud will not be going away any time soon. 70 million angry Americans is not a good way to start a term. However, IMO there are around 70 million Americans that will feel aggrieved, and do everything they can to bring Biden down. Expect the same sort of <deleted> as Trump got the past 4 years, and if the GOP wins a majority in the house come 2022, expect some large payback. If the GOP still hold the senate they might even impeach and convict Biden. Regardless, the investigation into Hunter Biden will IMO hurt Joe Biden, and the Chinese spy sleeping with a Democrat politician should be satisfyingly embarrassing to Pelosi, who is downplaying it. I'm sure there are a lot of embarrassing things to come out about Democrats, so I'm expecting US politics to be entertaining for some time to come.

Fleeing to a country lacking an extradition treaty with the US? He has exhausted all options. He's 1-56 in court. He just lost the highest court in the land. Stick a fork in him; he's done. He really ought to start preparing his many defenses. NY AG has him in her sights, and she has all the many years of tapes and documents from Michael Cohen, plus whatever NY got re Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. His self-pardon, if he does, is unlikely to hold up in court. The Constitution is clear the US has no monarch, and anything that would allow him or any POTUS to pardon themselves for any crime (e.g., murder, treason) would create a monarch. The new Federal AG is likely to have many crimes to investigate, and a DoJ and FBI staff that doesn't exactly like the way 45 dealt with them probably would like to engage in a little genuine justice. He is also under investigation in Scotland regarding his source of funding for Turnberry and other golf properties. If he cannot explain the funding, he is in violation of a Scottish law and they can seize all of his assets there. He is likely to be considered a security threat, as is jared, since both (more jared) have tried to accumulate a lot of classified data which they may well try to sell. jared is also in trouble for his Qatar deal and he may well be charged with 'conspiracy to commit espionage' after his visit to the Russian Embassy in December 2016 where he tried to set up a secret back channel to Putin. Ambassador Kislyak was so excited by the prospect, that he dropped all opsec and used an open line to call Moscow. Finally, jared is unaware that WhatsApp encryption is not secure, so if 'anyone' wanted to capture all of his WhatsApp messages to MbS, Qatar, Netanyahu, etc. (all of which are illegal, as all govt business must be carried out on govt systems and entered into the record), they did capture it. I would not loan jared money nor write an insurance policy on him now. If 45 takes a chance and resigns, then he needs a pardon from pence. Pence wants to run in 2024, so getting 45 out of the way cuts the field of contenders down. Pence could promise a pardon, then play Lucy with the football, fooling Charlie Brown. I suspect 45 will enter a downward spiral come 20 January from which escape is highly unlikely. Edited December 12, 2020 by Walker88 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) 7 hours ago, mr mr said: poor guy he is really trying eh. I believe the term you're looking for regarding Trump's election nullifying efforts is: Sedition Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organisation, that tends toward rebellion against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or rebellion against, established authority. Although the federal criminal statute makes "by force" a necessary element https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/sedition.html Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison and it refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it. According to the statutory definition of sedition, it is a crime for two or more people within the jurisdiction of the United States: To conspire to overthrow or destroy by force the government of the United States or to level war against them; To oppose by force the authority of the United States government; to prevent, hinder, or delay by force the execution of any law of the United States; or To take, seize, or possess by force any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof.

I say take the hard way and get rid of blatant lies. Let's face it Biden is not drinking baby blood. If you can't prove it then you shouldn't be allowed to tell people it's true. Giuliani tells the public there was mass voter fraud but he never claims fraud in court because he knows it's a lie and he will be held accountable for that. The lies need to stop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
