The American people will decide this election, Biden spokesman Andrew Bates said. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.
What a delicious sight that would be.

(63,912 posts)I think at this point he's having trouble going to the bathroom without help. I'm serious. The man is decompensating before our very eyes, coming apart, unable to focus, babbling.
I don't think he makes it to voting day. I don't think he completes his campaign, quite frankly.
He'll be taken to Walter Reed and treated with whatever therapies they treat people in his condition. He simply cannot carry out the function of anything, much less President.
He'll go to the hospital babbling incoherently and hopefully without restraints.

(13,870 posts)He could win because of obvious voting irregularities (Florida in 2000 and Ohio 2004). I'd like to see a Biden camp response to that possibility.

(28,478 posts)who work very hard to maintain some semblance of normality in governance. And not only the Lincoln Project Republicans, but Democrats at all levels who haven't been fired or left in disgust and frustration. And I'm pretty sure Biden/his campaign is working with the Never Trump Republicans to counter any attempt at a coup. He would be stupid not to. I know for certain Joe Biden is not a stupid man. It makes me feel a bit more confident that this democratic experiment might be saved.

(220 posts)I agree with you that most of the people working in the government are sane who work very hard to maintain some semblance of normality in government. I think many if not most would not vote for Trump in 2020. But most of them are not prepared to take up arms to get Trump out of the WH if he tried to stage a coup. It is a hopeful sign that many of the military leaders both active and retired have spoken out against Trump. But I doubt that they would relish the idea of a shoot out in one of our most sacred entities, the WH.
I am sure that Biden's campaign strategist and even the "Never Trumpers" are working hard to come up plan to counter a attempted coup.
But I can guarantee that if Trump's brain Trust in the WH is planning a coup they have been planning it for a very long time and have lined up fire power with experience in over throwing governments. They will not have to look far to find the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army.
The Secretary of Education in the Trump administration just happens to Betsy Devos whose brother just happens to be Eric Prince, the founder of that Mercenary Army. Trump would be hiding in the "Bunker" while Princes forces killed and destroyed whatever was necessary to carry out their mission.
It is a scary scenario but it could happen.

(8,758 posts)He is not the only elected criminal thinking about the 14th amendment. All the McConnells, Grahams, Ernsts and Collinss that could be knocked the hell on their asses, and face criminal charges will be pushing the narrative just as hard as trump. With unlimited funding and white wing radio and Faux Noose. They ALL have a lot of something to gain to void an election.

(81,323 posts)You're not supposed to see the makeup line between your ashen complexion and your brush-on "tan." Or at least feather some of your hair down over the line to cover it a little bit.
SHEESH, dude - you've spent years on TV. Did you learn NOTHING from your makeup people?
