65. Nope. I think THEY think the fix is in, but they're forgetting that Biden has control of the NG, and he'll use it.

He's already said there will be consequences for any tampering, any attempt to disrupt the counting of delegates or ballots. Any show of attacks on any government entity, or the American people, will the stopped, deadly force authorized.

Trump and his people forget that they don't have total control of things yet. There will not be another "riot" to disrupt Congress. There will not be any "bloodbath" (how's that for rhetoric?). There won't be any major attempts to riot and interfere. Oh, some small things, maybe. Any state that isn't ready for it is run by fools. There'll be some protesting, a lot of crying and moaning online, but Trump's dream of a civil war is just that, a dream.

I'm former military. I'm old, can't walk or stand much, and my eyesight isn't the best, but I can still shoot. I will defend my country, if necessary. I was never relieved of the oath I took. It's still in effect, and I still believe in it. I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign or domestic.

That's the qestion you ask yourself? I ask why are you posting this stuff on a site whose mission is to promote Dems... brush Sep 16 #26

You can block me if you think I want to discuss things you don't want to discuss. I apologize if that is the case. Doodley Sep 16 #42

Trump a killer? nikatnyte Sep 16 #37

Good point! Yes, to use a metaphor, he loads the gun but others pull the trigger, like Jan 6th. Doodley Sep 16 #45

Exactly. Quite noticeable. Cha Sep 16 #35

Yes, but he doesn't control elections in blue states iemanja Sep 16 #34

This is true. He may not need enough states to reach 270. His aim would be to try to raise enough doubt Doodley Sep 16 #51
