1. bullshit. The Constitution does not provide for that. The only thing that can be done is removal

by impeachment or the 25th amendment

[gratuitous]

4. Got it in one

There is no constitutional mechanism for an electoral do-over. Once the winner is certified and sworn in, the electorate is stuck with that person for the duration of their term barring a 25th Amendment removal or the impeachment process.

Yeah, we'd all like another bite at the apple, but there's no way for it to happen. CNN should know that. Their ex-CIA person should know that.

ON EDIT: And shame on me for not noticing that this post is from an account five months ago.

He was suggesting that the electors take the Russian hacking into account.

3. Oh really? How does that work exactly?

6. "CIA operative"? Aren't those the people the

CIA hires to do shady things so that actual government employees don't end up dead or in prison?

7. We will have another election. In 2018. And another Presidential one in 2020.

There is a process for removing the chief executive, it is called impeachment.

8. Since this is unprecedented, I dunno, maybe

draft an emergency amendment before fucking fascism sets in and your constitution is destroyed by the new 'government'? And there are no more elections? Because the rot is so deep?

This isn't just a rogue president, important parts of the ENTIRE GOVT are infected. And there are people who could have sounded the alarm before the election, like McConnell - but he chose not to. Jesus. The entire govt is compromised. Laws are written and struck every day, it's not like it can't be done.
