Exactly. It would never get to the point of a new President being inaugurated or to the point where Trump is barricaded behind his desk in the Oval Office. Trump will get a couple of Republican controlled states to claim there was voter fraud (I wouldn't be surprised if he really trolled us and blamed the Russians) so that those states' results can't be certified to the Electoral College and, therefore, the election as a whole can't be certified. Under Electoral College rules it would end up before a joint session of Congress with the Vice President (that's right, Pence) presiding as president of the Senate.

If you don't think Trump is already gaming this out and laying the groundwork with his attacks on the Dems, you are kidding yourself.

He's too incompetent to engineer something like this. Who's he going to ask to coordinate this, Guiliani?


If events over the last few years have taught us anything it should be that we underestimate Trump at our peril.


He can certainly cause a lot of chaos through social media and Fox News. And he’ll have 2 solid months in the WH as a platform. Rile up the base! charge mass voter fraud by brown people, deep state conspiracies by the DC elites, etc. Grab your guns everybody time to take back our country once and for all!

My dream is to see him led away in handcuffs but I just can’t see it happening for some reason
I would rather see you lose than win myself

Omar tweeted a SoundCloud of her interview where she tore down Obama. She said the reporter distorted her words. The reporter didn't though.

Don't understand. Just shut up for a few weeks and lay low. These people are clueless.

I keep hearing Trump is going to jail, who possibly believes that?? Does anyone have any real confidence in what the Mueller report is going to contain? Prepare to be hugely disappointed.

I don't have confidence in anyone at this point. He could take out the underlings and leave the Trump family crime organization intact. Hell, he was chosen by someone Trump chose, so we don't even know if he's on the up and up for sure. Indications are that he is, but we won't know until this is done. We also don't know if he has any skeletons that could be exploited. For all we know, he was chosen because he has skeletons. Imagine how defeated and demoralized the left would be if nothing substantial comes of this.

This all sounds paranoid, but I think we must assume anything is possible at this point because it's been one thing after another with this group. Pretty much everyone placed into power by Trump and other top people has turned out to be a fraud, but we somehow know for a fact that Rosenstein and Mueller are not? Isn't it possible that they are also frauds, but just aren't incompetent about it? I think we all know from past actions that Barr is a political hack and he's good friends with Mueller. How can I be sure Mueller also won't turn out to be the same? If I knew I was caught redhanded and I could control an investigation that would play out in public, maybe I would place someone in charge of the investigation that I could control and then scream witchhunt every day until they found me not guilty of any wrongdoing. It would demoralize opponents and allow me to avoid further scrutiny. I would be practically untouchable from that point on because I could just say any further investigation was another political witchhunt.

Again, I know this is paranoid and I don't really believe Mueller is a plant, but I think it's justified and healthy to be a little paranoid at this point.

He will be going to jail on state, not federal, charges. The State of NY is licking its collective chops.

They portray the Rep nominees as religious figures.

Melania would read the Lord's prayer and as she finished the Donald would enter.

All you need to do to destroy the Rep is take that one plank away from the Rep.

It would save the environment and a few million children a year.

Illegal sex, huge sums of power and money, and people of questionable intellect and morals -- all tied to an adversarial foreign government.

What could possibly go wrong? And how many of these patrons had security clearances.

You have to wonder how many of these Mar a lago people are being bribed. She's got tons of money. Almost hard to believe she made that all from a chain of massage parlors, even if there was extra income from sex trafficking.
