Two Weeks

[Tero]

Trump will go to his grave never admitting anything.

 

[Trebuchet]

Absolutely.

 

[PitPat]

Trump will go to his grave never admitting anything.

Well he will admit he has a thing for very good-looking men.

 

[Trebuchet]

Well he will admit he has a thing for very good-looking men.

He's probably already denying he said that yesterday.
Then there's Hegseth, who has a thing for big .......

 

[Regnad Kcin]

Trump has no intention of ever leaving the White House. He's made that clear.

Put some drugs in a hamberder and, while he’s knocked out, move him to a replica White House, TV Mission Impossible style.

Enlist RuPaul in a Natalie Harp mask and, voila, done and done!

 

[Regnad Kcin]

Send these Bingo cards back to the printer!

If you are right, then thank God for the Second Amendment, because if Democracy is ever to be restored, ti will be by force of arms.

If order is ever imposed by force of arms then, yes, a restoration of democracy is one of the possible outcomes. I don't know that it's worth betting on though.

 

[Donal]

The voting will be done. The election won't be over. The "fun" will be just beginning. It's going to get "interesting".
Fraud claims will start election night, if not before.
Recounts will be demanded.
Right-wing state and local agencies, like sheriff departments, may attempt to seize ballots.
Lawsuits will be filed. Dozens of them. Most will be thrown out.
Trump will whine loud and long about how the dumocrats are cheating him again. Him personally.
DHS and DOJ may well attempte to interfere with vote counting.
Republican legislatures may attempt to overturn results.
And finally Trump will probably call for a mob to attack the capitol again on January 3. He's done it before and got away with it.

It's not going to be pleasant.

Note to mods: This thread is intended to be about Republican efforts to overturn results, unlike the more general one I started a while back. If it's deemed better to merge, that's ok too.

The problem isn't in the results of the elections. The winners will be sworn in on Jan 4, 2027. The problem is that it will be illegitimate in the eyes of about 70 million people. That will cause a whole other slew of problems.

 

[Donal]

Oops, yes. I just think that it's going to be such a drubbing that GOP will take the opportunity to start distancing themselves from Trump; he will have become too toxic for even his own party to support. You know they secretly despise him.

We said the same thing after January 6.

[Press]: Mr President! How are you going to handle your predecessor refusing to leave the White House?
[President]: I've drawn inspiration from one of our great American authors, Edgar Allan Poe, and granted my predecessor's wish to never leave the building again.

Hey Donnie, there's a crate of McNuggets down in the basement. Let me show you. Just past that unfinished wall.

 

[Trebuchet]

One week to go, then the fun starts. Oh, wait, it already has.
I'll likely get our ballots in tomorrow.

 

[PitPat]

Just saw Mike Johnson say there will be a peaceful transfer of power and he plans to follow the law in any circumstances (but the Republicans are going to win). For whatever that's worth.

 

[PitPat]

Got ours last week, already sent it back. I don't normally drink but I plan on getting a celebratory bottle on Tuesday.

 

[Flo]

Hey Donnie, there's a crate of McNuggets down in the basement. Let me show you. Just past that unfinished wall.

… and right after the unfinished floor.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

[Press]: Mr President! How are you going to handle your predecessor refusing to leave the White House?
[President]: I've drawn inspiration from one of our great American authors, Edgar Allan Poe, and granted my predecessor's wish to never leave the building again.

Say there are black protesters in the streets and that he must remain in the Führerbunker under the White House. Indefinitely.

Trump is the worst president in terms of....humans. Occasionally he will do some tiny bit for Zelensky. But you know there is some deal behind it.

I held out for James Buchanan for a long time,. but now I think Trump is the worst president ever.

Going to my county's early voting station because I will be out of state on election day. I have reservations about this, because on that nifty "Did this person vote?" website, it shows both my wife and I not being recorded for the last midterm voting, where we used alternate voting, but records us as voting when we did so on election day at the usual polling place.

Anybody else discover that their vote was thrown in the trash? I am assured that every vote counts, but apparently they don't.

Had to Google the "Did you vote" thing, had no idea. Not sure how I feel about that, part of me kind of feels like whether you voted should remain private along with the choice. Could be good for screening dates though.

I agree. Some voter hustler texted me (great, they have my phone number too) to encourage me to vote midterms because I don't do so. That pissed me off, because I did. So I tracked it down, and sure enough, my voting wasn't recorded with the county.

Eta: what concerns me is that it's only Democrats contacting me. It s like they know which way I vote too? They are for sure not supposed to know that.

 

[PitPat]

After months of constant coverage about a blue wave, all the sudden I've been seeing a slew of "Are the Democrats setting themselves up for disappointment?" stories with some cherry picked races that are starting to tighten up. Gotta keep the ratings up somehow, I guess.
