The Nightmare Scenario


"We're counting on the federal court system to make it so that we can actually have an evening where we know who wins, OK. Not where the votes are going to be counted a week later, two weeks later."

Doesn't exactly leave much to the imagination.
 


See, this is why I feel compelled to defend Trump, the human being, and try to give him a fair assessment. An appeal to emotions or argumentum ad passiones ("argument from passion") is a logical fallacy characterized by the manipulation of the recipient's emotions in order to win an argument, especially in the absence of factual evidence.
 
What you're saying is so counter to reality that I can't tell if you're trolling or if you're really this deluded.

If anyone is being unrealistic, it's you. I admitted Trump might pull something worse than he already has but I don't believe he'll get a senate majority support on anything that further erodes the countries stability. You'd better hope I'm right or the rioting from your scenario will make the recent BLM ones look like a picnic.
 

Dude...he doesn't need a "Senate majority support" to get away with using the courts to stop the counts. He just needs the courts to sign off on it. And he's relying on his own court plants to deliver it.

The only thing you have right is the chaos that would ensue from blue states.
 


If he tries to use the courts to stop the counts of a presidential election that's not close or riddled with massive fraud, then Congress can attempt, and probably successfully, to impeach him again. If it's a close election, then Trump will try and ride it out, if he has any sense left at all. I just don't believe the Senate will allow this kind of shit to happen. It would jeopardize their own positions and civil stability.
 

Ugh...no they won't. It's like you haven't read a single newspaper for the last four years.

It's like you've bought into, lock- stock and barrel, the whole cray-cray scenarios the media peddles for profit.

What's obvious is that if Trump does this and gets away with it, you'll continue to make backhanded "tds" posts like the above.
 
@Cardinal

I said I'd admit it if I was wrong and it's looking like you may have it right. I just found this article as a lead on the Drudge Report. If he does this, it will be Apocalyptic, IMO.

Just a certain sort of imagination.
Tracy Lord (Katherine Hepburn), The Philadelphia Story

You are going to wake up on November 4th very confused and disappointed.
I'll be here. Will you?

Biden doesnt repel voters like Clinton did
Nor does he inspire the same confidence. Quite the opposite.

Trump also does not have the negatives he did. The haters still hate, but the worriers have been satisfied.
 

Thank you, but technically speaking, why does this change the calculus for you? You've adopted the position that if he uses the courts to stop the counting the Senate is likely to agree to impeach him. This additional story shouldn't have changed anything as far as you're concerned. Why does this article in particular push you toward agreeing with me?
 
I don't see much reason to hope that Trump or the GOP will do the right thing. They do the wrong thing at every opportunity.
 

Well, he's trying to make it appear all legit as a reasonable response to losing. He's manipulating the system a little too much but trying to make it look above board. But I don't think it fools anyone, especially those it may ultimately affect the most, Congress. Though they should be trying to head this off with strong condemnation, or at a bare minimum, questioning the strategy, which I don't see yet.

I guess, a part of me doesn't want to believe that our representatives and elected officials have gotten this far out of balance. We'll see how delusional they've all become and whacky this election turns out. I was sure the media was mostly twisting the info but Trump's own campaign came out with this latest contingency.
 

No, you feel "compelled" to do so because you have no other choice. If people begin to see what kind of trash you are supporting then you will lose. An "appeal" to reality is not an argument of passions unlike the argument you use, or trump uses. The cretin is a lying, adulterous, cowardly, thief, and that is the reality of the matter, and the ones lacking in any moral basis are the ones defending him.
 

Are you going to respond to my point that continually blaming "the media" is lazy thinking?
By constantly blaming the media, you sound just like a Trumper.
 
One part is definitely wrong. Unless he resigns, djt will still be President on 1.6.21
 
Assumes facts not in evidence
 

Some Democrats have already come out and told Biden to refuse to concede in the event he loses the election.

But of course. The Demcorats need to buy their army of lawyers time to get the election results changed to the result they want.

Good for them, since the trump camp already has their army of lawyers in place.

One Last thought, If Donald Trump Cheats to Win this election, it will not be the government he will have to worry about, it will be the Outrage of The American People, and it will get very ugly and bloody, count on it.

Partly true.Biden gave up being a human being a while back.
He's a shill for the democrats to take over the country.
Plus he and his Son Hunter and brother James are Multi Multi
Millionaires.How did that come about.
 

Eric Holder has ON RECORD at least 800 attorneys in place in the states
to challenge and contest the November 3rd results.
How does that square with Fair-minded Americans.
