How is Trump a vote for monarchy?

So if Trump wins the electoral college vote, he's good to go. And if he loses the electoral college vote, we can simply ignore that vote as fraudulent. Why is it fraudulent? Because Trump says it is. The guy who invented fake news - which, if you think about it, is sort of brilliant even if it's a lazy argument, you can just dismiss any inconvenient fact as fake - raises the stakes and says that the election results are teeming with illegal votes and therefore can't be trusted. 

Ultimately, Trump cannot conceive of losing an election fair and square. If he loses, it must be because of shenanigans. On that front, the state of Nevada (a swing state this year) just said recently that Trump's goal of eliminating mail-in ballots cannot stand.

Trump helped reduce the unemployment rate below 4%, at least before the pandemic arrived. His policies have left me with more money in my wallet because of lower taxes. Those are good things (although the deficit was rising before the pandemic and now it's spiking because of it). I don't agree with the radical left, the stupid idea of tearing down statues, the ridiculous idea of defunding police. A would rather have a centrist in office and I view Biden as the most centrist-like of all of the candidates that were seriously in contention. I think mismanagement of the pandemic in this country is a far, far bigger deal than alleged Russian interference. But I also think it's just whistling past the graveyard to think that Trump is going to be accept any result that doesn't render at least 270 electoral votes for him, and I think we are hurtling towards a constitutional crisis.

That’s a very unique perspective you have. It’s very different from most of the leftists take on the Trump presidency and the election. Thanks for sharing.

 Nobody will be able to proclaim victory election night. Too many mail in ballots by the left. Like an excessive amount to the point to break the system on purpose. It's going to go on for weeks, maybe longer by Democrat design.

it's both sides that are preparing in advance to challenge the validity of the election results yet you just accuse President Trump of it even though the Dems are significantly worse on this issue. Realize it's the Democrats who are changing the way the voting system has worked since forever with these mass mail-in ballots, not President Trump. 

You worry of Trump not stepping down.... how about Joe Biden. Does this concern you: here's Hillary Clinton advising Joe Biden not to conceed the election under any circumstances : https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/hillary-clinton-says-biden-should-not-concede-2020-election-under-n1238156

Patterson, NJ conducted such a system previously and the election was rife with tampering abuse. About fourteen years ago, a bipartisan panel, the Democrat side was headed by former President Carter, investigated this very issue and they concluded that mail-in system was ripe for abuse (among many other great suggestions for reform, all sadly ignored it seems). Dead people and people that have moved are receiving mail in ballots. And you know the DNC is more than willing to tamper with elections and fock them all up, just look at the Iowa results from this year when they were in total control. The Pennsylvania Democratic Party won a string of court cases recently one such is that signature verification is forbidden to disqualify mail in voting there, another kicking the Green Party off the ballot. A quarter of the Pennsylvania election officials have resigned over this.... likely the ones with integrity.

Again, the Dems are responsible for breaking the way eletions are run, they're the ones changing all the rules, not the GOP. And Team Biden is far more geared up and prepared to challenge the results as Trump is alleged to be. You're being lied to by CNN. They bury these stories and wax on planting seeds in your head about how Trump won't accept the results when in fact it's they themselves who won't.

It's true enough. We shouldn't discriminate based on anything and always go with the best qualified. As it stands we deal with flawed people who look at things through this identity politics lens all the time. I don't know to blame the walkaway movement for that though. 

[FlyinHeadlock 459]

We are never going to get anywhere until things go to best qualified and we stop calling one group of people a crayon color. Unfortunately it's getting worse. People that are American citizens born and raised are not Somali, Italian or African Americans. They are Americans period. We seem like the only country that puts these stupid monikers before our own country for people actually born here. What other country does this? It's super retarded.

If we didn't have a raging pandemic, I don't think Democrats would have argued in favor of mail-in ballots en masse. As for Hilary, I wish she would simply stop talking because she's infuriating. I do think her call to not cede the 2020 election revolves around waiting until all the ballots have been counted (since many of those ballots won't be getting counted on election night), but I could be wrong. 

I have to read those links you included about James Baker et al., as I'm not familiar with them. Thanks. Though wasn't the Iowa caucus debacle a result of using a brand new computer system and not testing it beforehand? It's like they took O'Hare airport's tower control system, set up a whole bunch of new machines overnight for the air traffic controllers to use, and said 'have at it!' at 8am and just hoped for the best. 

I know CNN is trying to spin me, but so is Fox, and Drudge, and the Washington Post. I read all of them anyway. Seeking out disparate points of view is important to me.

IMO, the Dems have such a massive enthusiasm gap with the GOP that the mail-in ballot idea is a way to wring ballots out of people that aren't sold on Biden and otherwise unmotivated to vote. A worry about this mail-in system being easy to manipulate is why Carter and Baker's team did not recommend it and we know what that looks like as we see the prospects of ballot harvesting and tampering as was rife in Patterson may well spread all over the country. Iowa did try a new voting system and it blew up on them and now the whole country where Democrats are in power is trying the same thing. These are the Dems responsible for all this (potential tampering). They're not saying " steal the election" and a major conspiracy to do so would require too many people to pull off quietly, but they have deliberately  ginned up hatred towards Orange Hitler for years and it's seems apparent to me that they are deliberately leaving the back door open for frothing at the mouth lunatics to tamper. Even you are convinced there is some monarchy going on whereas Trump has abided by every check on his power (or so it seems to me, he did withhold impeachment records the House called for but that was his prerogative and the House never took him to court to secure those documents.)

I'm glad you read the links. What Carter and Baker and their team came up with makes total sense but this report went nowhere. In today's climate, the only reforms you're likely to see are the 50% of the suggestions that one party likes and they pass it when they get a majority big enough to overcome a fillibuster and beat the other party into submission.

“So here’s a Q: Does the press even investigate details of Barrett’s adoptions from Haiti?” Houle wrote in a follow-up tweet. “Some adoptions from Haiti were legit. Many were sketchy as hell. And if the press learned they were unethical & maybe illegal adoptions, would they report it? Or not bc it involves her children”

In a third follow-up tweet, Houle added: “Would it matter if her kids were scooped up by ultra-religious Americans, or Americans weren’t scrupulous intermediaries & the kids were taken when there was family in Haiti? I dunno. I think it does, but maybe it doesn’t, or shouldn’t.”

David Stras (previously on Trump's shortlist) and John K Bush both would've been far better SCOTUS picks. And I get the feeling you would've like whoever Trump picked without doing any research because....Trump.

Doesn't matter what we think.  It is the Senate's responsibility to vet the nominee.

Not happy about this pick but anything is better than RGB

Not Potatomayor. The same rulings with 1/3 the brainpower and 10x the calories.

This is where Notre Dame meets the Senate Judiciary confirmation process. And with the amount of time until the election, it's the equivalent of 4th and goal from the one with three seconds on the clock. The Dems have the line stacked. She has to take the handoff from Trump and follow her lead blocker Mitch McConnell straight ahead and bowling ball her way into the endzone Jerome Bettis style, hopefully on her way to a Hall of Fame career as a member of SCOTUS.

I’d like to see when the Democrats start acting disgusting with their questioning.  MCConnell say that’s it, the questioning  is a courtesy, we’re shutting it down and having  the vote. And do it right after Harris gets out of line.

I don't think they will.

I think they stick to process, and I think they simply point to this as a threat to Roe/Wade.  They cannot afford to "kavanaugh" this women, not right now.

Chief Justice John Roberts was the swing vote on cases until RBG died.  There is a rule that the Chief Justice can choose who writes the opinion in any case where he's in the majority.  There is some speculation that Roberts will make sure he votes with the majority of conservatives justices in many cases so that he can write the opinion and use that power to define the ruling as narrowly as possible. So if an abortion case comes up, Roberts sides with the conservatives and then writes an opinion that waters down the ruling to a large degree.

She's going to be confirmed and wonderful. The 3rd of at least 4 trump will get to pick.
