"I have zero evidence at all proving that anything happened at all in the 2020 election, but I can promise you all...If I'm elected in November, I will have somebody fabricate SO MUCH evidence, we will put everyone you hate in jail. That's a promise. Let's really take this fascist 'Us V. Them ' bullshit to the next level! L8rSk8rs"

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Correct temperament, but way, way too cogent for anything coming out of Trumpet's mouth these days.
"...and they'll say it was fabricated...great fabrications they say, fabric so great you won't believe it was made in China...Ivanka...I don't see whats so bad about China...they call it a sweatshop what's wrong with that? you should sweat at work. Thats what I think anyway. You know I sweat harder than anyone, anyone alive...Ivanka so beautiful...don't we have...the most beautiful people here, thats what they hate that we have beautiful. They have ugly Nancy Pelosi and we have the most beautiful people..."
What a horrible day to be able to read.
My lazy eye is acting up a lot more after that, I think I’m losing intelligence.
... is this real or are you really good at trump gibberish?
donald??? is that you, donald???
He also just admitted he actually lost... he's off his fucking rocker.
The way his rhetoric is somehow increasingly more tyrannical, he may be starting to panic while he loses support.
Since he still seems to ignore that Biden is POTUS and Harris is VPOTUS until Jan 20, what is he expecting his paramilitary to do?
This isn't anything similar to Germany where the military was a separate head of state than the executive. He can't just threaten the current elected government into handing over power "or there will be blood shed."
The military doesn't work like that. You might have idiot grunts that want to cause problems, but how many base quartermasters are just gonna go "sure have at it, everything must go?" How many of those quartermasters can unilaterally allow idiots to raid their armories? How many mechanic teams will be able to get Abrams up and running for magats in time for them to make it off base?
How many of these idiots don't know the crazy ass security the white house itself has? And that's just DC! On a larger scale? They dont have the ability or numbers to strongarm state governments even.
I'm also nearly certain they actually think progressives do not believe in self defense. They likely think most don't own firearms, let alone other forms of self defense. They want this to be a bloody civil war, when at best this will be a terrorist group doing exactly what they've already been doing.
He's scared
So like... the entire country?
His AG needs to be confirmed by the Senate. Even in these partisan times, Merrick Garland was confirmed 70 to 30. I don't think Trump will get someone crazy enough through.
They will just lie to get through. It worked for his SCOTUS nominees.
Hm, sure sounds like democracy is something all these cons haaaaate.
It's all about personal vendettas with these crazy fucking weirdos.
If Trump takes his rhetoric a little farther, he can get some new election interference charges. I don't suppose the quotes in the above article are there, but he's getting close. Threatening old officials, if they are still employed and working on the current election, is an interesting approach.
It's a Good Thing those EXACT SAME PEOPLE have done Literally NOTHING to Dissuade or Punish Trump for his 100s of previous Felonies and Crimes!
