The orange tyrant won't go quietly
Let's take a moment away from the minute by minute "breaking news" to look at the 2020 election.
If Trump can't win or steal it, he will still be pResident for the following 2 1/2 months. We know that he'll spend much of that time ranting that the election was rigged and stolen from him. But, of far greater importance, he'll still be the one person who can order a launch of our nuclear weapons. And anyone who doesn't think he'd go that far, hasn't been paying attention for the past few years.
My guess is that the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon have already anticipated this. Do they have a plan to ignore the orders of the "commander in chief?" Again, I'm guessing, but I don't think they'd allow one weapon to be launched.
This would give the creature a chance to claim that a military coup is taking place, declare martial law, and then refuse to give up his office for "the good of the country."
All of the above are just assumptions, but we know that there is nothing beyond the present inhabitant of the Oval Office. So don't be too quick to dismiss them, or any similar scenario.
Having said this, here's my guess as to what will actually occur. Trump will be defeated, he might refuse to vacate the White House, and he will be escorted out by the Secret Service, where each and every member has taken an oath to "... protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
There is, of course, another scenario. What if he "wins," or more likely steals the 2020 election? IMO, that would be the end of American democracy.
Thoughts? Opinions?
