I've been saying for a couple years now that the quantity and depth of the filth in the WH at this point might require burning it down after they are ousted... but I don't really care of they are still inside when it does, do you?

Biden doesn't need to be in the WH to act as POTUS. Once he is POTUS, the Secret Service and Fed Marshalls will escort Trump to a waiting helicopter. He will go peacefully, or be arrested for trespassing.

I expect Trump will go full fascist, and that doesn't primarily mean opening fire on protesters.

It means opposition leaders "disappear".

For those concerned, that stupid fence wouldn't stop anything. Itm, ugly in appearance and meaning as it is, it establishes a useful boundary for the peaceful protesters filling the streets of DC and beyond. Military leaders have stated they won't move against people exercising their constitutional right peaceably to assemble.

And if there's any problem with Trump leaving the premises, that will be handled by the usual high-ups whose job it is -- empowered and backed by the will of the people.

Itm, citizens are putting the fence to fine use as a giant memorial and message wall. Love it!

but there are federal law enforcement officers from different arms of the federal govt - like park rangers, FBI, military MPs, federal prison guards, etc. - that are not usually seen together.

Heavily armed men who refuse to identify themselves are patrolling the streets of Washington, DC. They were sent by the Bureau of Prisons.

some have suggested Erik Prince involvement.

Then there is this,

That stupid fence is intrinsically anti-democratic, but hopefully would work for us by slowing any stupid hotheads from trying to "storm" the WH. Note that our military leaders have said they will not act against peaceful demonstrators. Violent attacks on the WH would not be peaceful and could force action that could benefit the Republicans. (Or benefit us by providing an excuse for the military to move into in the WH compound? I so don't know and can't guess!)

My husband and I, too old to join the current crowds in the middle of a pandemic, were just saying, though, that if the right does move forward with attempted takeover of our government, we will have to join those to take to the streets to refuse to allow it also.

Have to admit, though, that I've been wishing we still lived in the relative security of a strong blue state that will refuse. GA and FL may be red moving purple-blue, but their state governments are not.

I'd be concerned that the George Floyd demonstrators will be replaced by the MAGAts when Trump loses.

...unlike Jimmy Carter and those solar panels.

fulfill their duties they swear the oath to. Nov 3rd, trump will lose, come January Biden takes over. If trump wants to be removed by US marshalls, thats ok with me

... military vets isn't going to turn into a law abiding citizen who'll abide by the US constitution in 5 months.

Barr will be allow whatever laws to be broken Trump wants, he knows he'll go to jail too.

way. He isn;t going to bully the US Constitution nor the American people. He will be gone. Barr can't stop it

But if he loses and we all just think US Marshalls at going to walk in calmly and quietly breeze him out of there, that is just as naive if he has 1,000 Blackwater guards surrounding him and the White House.

Of course he will lose this battle but he's prepared to take the whole White House and much of DC down with him in his temper tantrum.

Mark my words...he will put a call out to his supporters and every RWNJ with a gun who wants to play patriot will flock to DC to defend their messiah. The next 8 months are going to be VERY interesting.

when it is the states that control the election. Do you think that the Republicans would let him try when if he could then the next president of the United States sworn into office on January 20, 2021, would be The Speaker Of the House who would serve for 4 years?

Please explain your post.

... carry through that make it hard to elect anyone else but him.

that would affect elections held by the states?

... in each of the swing States and only in Democratic areas

There is no part of the law that says that the executive branch needs governor's approval to enact that law as far as I read it

If I'm wrong go ahead and state it for me

that's just right off the top of my head on something he can do to in effect make it hard for anyone else but him to win

Article II section 1, Amendments XII, XIV, XV. You should also read the Library of Congress Research Service Memorandum Overview of the Electoral College Procedure and the Role of Congress November 17, 2000

It would be totally different if he asked them to do anything that was against the Constitution. My husband took an oath to defend the Constitution, not to follow orders of the President that were against the Constitution according to the UCMJ. This is a Marine town and we have many friends that are Marines whose fathers and grandfathers fought in WWII and Korea and veterans. They take their oath very seriously.

He is the commander-in-chief and they must follow all orders that are not unconstitutional.

He will lose bigly in November.

Let him stay there and rot in prison.

The rest of the military will follow Biden.

Will be a scene of him behind the desk with a face covered in Aderall dust, like Scarface.

It's in his psychological profile.

violence we are seeing now look like nothing.
