One of Trump's last tweets before election might be the most disturbing?

    Not sure what to make of this but do I read here that Trump expects the election to be decided in the courts..?!

    Meaning, Trump confirms he has NO intention of conceding defeat. As expected.

    As I read it, Trump CLEARLY expects (like some future vision) that Biden is ONLY elected by decision of the Supreme Court.

    Who knows what goes on in Trump's head, he's all over the place.
    But I can only take this for Trump's confession that he will try to take an election defeat to the the SC.

    We should have known...

    This will be the end of the Trump presidency:

    This is how Trump will spend the rest of his life:

    When you think about what Democrats are talking about it would be an authoritative dictatorship where we would have to bow down to the Democrats. Packing the court, adding states, redistricting, open boarders, letting the world vote in our elections. What democrats are talking about is a end of a Republic.

    Adding new court seats has happened many, many times in the past. In case you skipped history class, so has adding states. So has redistricting. None of those things were the "end of a Republic," and they won't be in the future. None of the rest is anything Dems are talking about.

    It’s a power grab and would make a judiciary a political branch of the Democrat party. A joke. You would have large militiaS form. And you don’t want that

    Nature doesn't like an imbalance. If Trump's stacked court is found to be shoving conservative stuff down US throats like an overstuffed Turkey nature will resolve it.

    And nature will resolve this extreme Trump administration. In fairness the Right should get 8 years for their guy but since you deigned to elect such a high perfomer you only get 4. Thank you nature ;)

    And stacking the Courts with right wing ideologues, trying every trick to keep people from voting,and openly suggesting that the justices he appointed will rubber stamp his victory (real or not, he doesn’t care), isn’t a power grab???

    You have to make your claim on the basis of what some think MIGHT happen, leavened by the usual right wing fearmongering)

    the rest of us see the attempted power grab that IS HAPPENING right in front of our eyes.

    He has an obligation to nominate a Supreme Court justice if there is an opening. Tricking people from voting do you have any evidence?

    The end of a republic (democracy) is when a President claims, EVEN BEFORE THE RESULT IS IN, that the election will be decided in the courts.

    Read the tweet again. It's not even a suggestion on Trump's part.
    He states it as a matter of fact; It will end in the courts.

    Trump completely ignores the fact that a voting-result will decide the election. And the result IS the democratic process, whatever republic or monarchy or institution you live under.

    The American people, if Trump loses, DO NOT ASK HIM to burden the nation with his bad loser behavior.

    They will demand that he vacates the White House.

    Yes but democrats are cheating project veritas James O’Keefe just caught a democrat claiming she gets the elderly 7000 to change their vote, people are burning ballots people are throwing ballots away. You must vote in person or else it’s going to be in the courts.

    Wishful thinking? He's also been making noise about leaving the country if he loses. I suspect he already has plans to run to a country that has no extradition treaty with the U.S.

    There are no facts in your post. None whatsoever. Try not to be so scared, okay?

    Power grab? Is that really how you see this election?

    Large militias have already formed and are already gearing up for what they believe will be a civil war. What do you suppose will happen the first time one of those groups of heavily armed little sissy boys faces a National Guard battalion?

    I don't think fear of terrorist militias is a good enough reason. Sorry. If you are talking about non-criminal militias forming, then no, I don't give a ****. McConnell stacked the courts as much as he possibly could. Was that an attempt to make the judiciary a political branch of the GOP?

    So what you're saying is that Trump should nominate 5 or 6 more before election day.

    And of course by "stacked" you mean filled existing vacancies.

    Gee I wonder why Democrats would be pushing for counting ballots a week after an election.

    What could be the intent? That's so hard to figure out.

    How dare we stack the court with right wing ideologues who believe that judges should abide by the Constitution.

    It's a radical idea....far from what the Democrats want control of the court for.

    Made myself laugh.

    We're about to find out (Tuesday) how much Trump REALLY despises the democratic process of an election. And democracy as a whole.
    That thing that is supposed to prevent the US from sliding into Banana-republic territory.

    Will Trump respect an election where the rules say the loser must concede defeat? (As any free and fair election should do.)

    Don't count on it.

    Come Tuesday, Trump will p*ss on the will of the American people. Ignoring a result that might conclude he is the losing candidate.
    His own (political) survival is all that matters to him. Everybody else can go to hell, as far as he is concerned.

    Donald J. Trump; detached from reality like no other human being in recent history.

    Deluded individuals like that don't leave the country they are trying to wreck. (see Lukashenko in Belarus,)

    They rather go down with the ship.

    He is making a prediction. If predictions count for something then keep predicting the election results before the result is in. That may be all you need.
