Ashame about Herman Cain. RIP
I just don’t see it. Trump stepping down it’s just not in the cards in my opinion.
Yeah, his ego can't take it. It's far easier for him to lose to Biden and claim some bullshit conspiracy. Step down now and he looks like a loser.
One could see it the opposite. He hates losing, so he just says the Democrats & liberal media hijacked his presidency, Nancy Pelosi ruined the economy, its the worst abomination this countries ever seen, its a hoax, and the CDC tried to topedo his campaign and no one can survive in that environment. So its everybody elses fault.
He controls it and leaves his way, on his terms.

What happened? Did the tournament get pushed back? I thought soccer in Europe was still being played.

"There is no mechanism by which Trump can unilaterally move, postpone or cancel the election and the expiration of his term is in the Constitution."
Newsweek ran something on it a few weeks ago, it's out there, but if you follow step by step, it could be plausible for him & Barr to try it. And they might be setting the tone for it to occur (although I'm thinking its too far out of reach at this point).
Basically, trump loses election. Contests a few close states he lost, claiming he only lost due to voter fraud, takes it to court. If the courts haven't decided by Dec 14, which is when Electoral College gives their 'vote', those states in court don't count. If neither Biden nor trump get 270, it goes to Congress. BUT, when congress votes, they vote as a state (So all members of each 50 states vote), but the end result is only 1 vote per state (so california counts as 1, NY counts as 1, Montana counts as 1 etc). If 26 states vote for trump, he pretty much could win.

It's very unlikely, especially in todays economy, but I think legally it could be correct as it seemed thorough & no media challenged the thought process, just the ridiculousness of it occuring. FWIW, Al Gore acknowledged defeat the day before the EC voted, so there's a bit of merit to some of it.

Whoa, hadn't heard he died yet. Ashame, I always thought his 9/9/9 tax plan wasn't awful, deserved consideration. Maybe not 9/9/9 exactly, but a form of flat tax (looking Amazons way ie. $0)

BTW you don't find it at all coincidental he tweets it immediately after the US has its worst GDP Quarter in history?! The economy is shit, don't worry about the Dow, this is a propped up fake economy floating by on free money.

China just leapfrogged us as the #1 economy I bet.

Does anyone actually look into anything further than the headline anymore?
Headline?? What headline? It's a Tweet, directly from trump!! This isn't falling for clickbait.
And btw, Barr was asked about it days ago, his response was "I haven't looked into it yet". I'm curious why he didn't respond as abruptly as you, seems to leave a very wide door open, when in fact the door is slammed shut.

Dude, not disagreeing with you, but I watched Frontline on PBS last night about Alex Jones, it's crazy. Like, crazy people actually believe that shit. And ALOT of people do!! People were stalking and calling Sandy Hook parents. One father even moved, unlisted his #, and his listeners still tracked him down.
His lies were beyond crazy. It was almost funny, like in a Morton Downey Jr/Jerry Springer kindof way, but #pizzagate shows you people take action on that shit.
Yea, but no one takes Alex Jones seriously. He's been condemned and denounced as an agitator and was forced under oath to admit as much. Meanwhile, Russian collusion and Trump refusing to leave office conspiracies are accepted as reasonable in the left wing press. Maybe Polluxlm believed Alex Jones shit, but he's not here. Plenty of people are making posts about Trump not leaving office and they have plenty of mainstream media sources talking that nonsense.
As far as I can tell, the only people trying to delay elections have been Democratic governors. Some of which have already been spanked by federal courts.
Clearly, this post didn't age well. (23 hours later)
