Popular Post placeholder Posted January 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 This is from Trump's speech to the demonstrators "We will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved,” he said shortly before the mob began moving toward the barricades." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2021/video-timeline-capitol-breach/ Therefore, since Trump has conceded, we must conclude that there was no theft. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stevenl Posted January 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 Trump has said there will be a peaceful transition of power. But I'm afraid of what he'll do before the 20th, and maybe on that day as well. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthedarkside Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Trump pledges 'orderly' transition after riot and Biden win certification (CNN)President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged that he would leave office on January 20 for the first time Thursday, pledging an orderly transfer of power after Congress affirmed President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College win. "Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th," Trump said in the statement, repeating false claims he has made throughout the last two months. "I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it's only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again." Trump, who has refused to concede the election, had on Wednesday egged on supporters who would later storm the US Capitol in an attempt to stop lawmakers from counting the electoral votes. The riot left four people dead -- one woman was shot and three others had medical emergencies, according to police -- and left some in Trump's Cabinet holding preliminary talks about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office, according to a well-placed GOP source. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/07/politics/trump-biden-us-capitol-electoral-college-insurrection/index.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Seth1a2a Posted January 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 I'm going to give Pence the "Dutch Boy" award of the day for basing his decisions on the truth and logic of yesterday's events. If no one sees the previous threats of violence against him as evidence that he refused to do something unscrupulous , then I'll gladly compensate you for a new pair of glasses. We're seeing what they saw in Warsaw, Germany, Italy, Zimbabwe,Rwanda and many other countries past and present. Ironically , the one thing about falling off the top tier of Democracy was the fact that no one would be willing or strong enough to step in and help us help ourselves. The Pyrrhic victory of either side would leave the US completely vulnerable to it's rivals who would divide the spoils of a war that we fought against ourselves. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 It can now only be hoped that Trump is to some degree aware of the issues legitimate calls for accountability in the basket of issues his overall but certainly his most recent attempts to attack and destroy the basis of the US Constitution which he originally falsely vowed to uphold. Also given his well established vindictive nature it could be that as a final gesture in compelled departure he would be tempted to figuratively " toss a grenade" into the Oval Office by demanding some military action against such as Iran . Good sense would suggest such an action would be deferred for confirmation by the incoming Commander in Chief in any case were it not defensive but the evidence is/has been clear in demonstrating Trump has encouraged no less suicidal compliance to tragic effect ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placeholder Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 According to Trump supporters there was a data dump coming during the final approval of the electoral college results in the House and Senate that would prove massive fraud and upend the election results. Well, the data dump never happened, surprise!, surprise!, but Trump did take a figurative dump on the Capitol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
