Please. He's trying to establish the pretext to ignore the election & stay in power. Fraud! Cheaters! Vast nationwide conspiracy! Communist voting machines! Cuba! Venezuela! We have to do something!

He'll keep selling it as long as possible.

He has no chance in turning enough faithless electors.

But he does have a shot at denying Biden more than 304.

I think he knows he has no chance of winning now and is just out for vanity and to burn it all down.

I will bet you money, out of pure fucking vanity, Trump is trying to make the count less than 306. Not so much win now, as to just put a dent in the 306 and make it lower than his own 304.

This is why he's now banking on MI. He thinks he has a shot after the Wayne County shit.

It's as petty and vain as that. I will bet you.

Whatever the reason it's really telling of how effed up the republican party is for letting him get this far.

Also, where are all the trolls who exclusively rip on Dems but for sure didn't vote for trump? They seem to be extremely quiet on this topic.

Well, I heard from a reliable anonymous overseas source that Hunter Biden was sitting next to Chavez when he was reprogramming the Smartmatic. Hunter waited until Trump was running against his dad to use his Smartmatic skillz to help his dad win. Word has it that he was in dad's basement when he used the hack.

Time-travelling Vincent Foster and Ben Ghazi were most certainly in on that conspiracy.

They were all likely sitting in the basement of the Comet Pizza in DC.

Also: voter fraud.

Tucker Carlson bashes Trump attorney Sidney Powell for lack of evidence in fraud claims: ‘She never sent us any’



“We invited Sidney Powell on the show. We would have given her the whole hour,” Carlson said. “But she never sent us any evidence, despite a lot of requests, polite requests. Not a page. When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her.”

Carlson also noted: “She never demonstrated that a single actual vote was moved illegitimately by software from one candidate to another. Not one.”

Maybe, just maybe, this is a sign that some Trump cult members are waking up to the fact that they're being duped. Gaslit. Conned.

Nah this is Rupert pulling the emergency breakes... He might be waking up to what he has created...
Or more likely realizing that the Orange menace is out of tax cuts and judges.

I wonder what will come of Trump's meeting today with the MI lawmakers.

Also imagine someone like a Josh Hawley or Tom Cotton doing this in 2024/2028. They would probably easily pull it off and then have troops and tanks in the streets the same day to quell any unrest. GG.

That coup will be coming... any day now...

We can already see it coming with the massive civil unrest occurring daily....
Did you even bother to read the thread? We said Trump is attempting a coup, not that he would be successful.

But as far as him attempting it, that’s already public knowledge.

Umm, Georgia’s SoS initially announced that Georgia’s results are certified and declared Biden the winner. Now he’s walking it back and saying “not yet certified”.

Whose phone call was more threatening, Trump’s or Kemp’s??

Take my word for it, the voter fraud was committed by the same masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre! We can know this because they are so good that they left no evidence that it even occurred!

So do I personally think that there was a coordinated and centralized action to change the votes in Dominion voting systems? No. Do I think there may have been a few illegal ballots cast? I think there always have been, but not enough to make a significant enough difference to sway an election. Same with human counting errors. There are always going to be a few. Biden won the election and will be sworn into office, whether some of us like it or not. Oh well, that's how elections go...win some, lose some. I'll get to vote again in 4 years. Life goes on.

Now, putting the devils advocate hat on for a minute, how would everyone here react if the servers were forensically audited and it turned out that, in fact, hundreds of thousands, even millions of votes were changed to make Biden win? I know it's absurd, but what if and what would your thoughts be? It seems unimaginable, but it would have to send shock waves to every edge of the globe.

And I have actually spoken to a couple people who basically said they didn't care as long as it got the desired result.

I think if actual, systemic fraud were detected before Biden were sworn in AND it was possible to determine the real intent of the voter AND these counts would overcome Biden’s lead in the crucial states then Trump should be the victor. If it is after Biden’s inauguration there’s actually no way to remove him constitutionally so it would be too late and we would have to move forward to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

But seriously, right now Trump is openly attempting to have Republican legislatures overthrow the will of the voters, which would mean the end of US democracy as we have known it. After all, it would mean elections for president no longer matter. Does this make you reconsider your support for Trump?

I mean, it's fact that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and it's also fact that the Trump campaign knowingly and willingly colluded with Russia to affect the 2016 election and nothing happened as a result of that so...

I see people are having trouble wrapping their minds around that a coup attempt is still a coup attempt even if it is very very dumb and executed by an incredible rogues gallery of nuts, charlatans, and grifters.

Might as well ponder how everyone would react if Q is right or if shape-shifting lizards taking human forms in a plot to rule America.

What are your thought of Trump trying to undermine the election results? Do you acknowledge he had no business being president to begin with? That he is a selfish spoiled brad that doesn't care about anyone but himself? That he lies constantly and anyone who has supported him have been duped by a con man?

Yes, this is literally an attempt to overthrow the duly elected government of the United States and remain in power.

To be clear, if Trump refuses to relinquish power based on this strategy the correct answer is for the population to revolt and demand his arrest.

Some kind of democratic meldtdown.
You are referencing some objective truth here and we all know that "objective truth" is not something the current administration deals in. Even if you would want to deal with it "fair" .. that cant happen with Trump, for every single little article that favors him he will yell to the skies #WINNING and for every little single article that does not he will stamp as fake news.
Nothing TRUE comes past the Trump filter.

Speaking of Roger Stone, if he is a free man post Trumps presidency... man, something is wrong
