Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Thepersona]

That's some real r/wallstreetbets shit

My dude, when i was lurking on the r/politics megathreads about the election the concern trolls almost always were posters on that damned sub.

Honestly I can see him - or one of his brood - attempting to run in 2024 assuming they're not mired in court cases, on their way to jail, or go broke.

I can too. I think the Republicans will want to distance themselves from Trump... and this will split the Republican vote between the Republican and an Independent Trump vote. More or less giving the Democrat the win.

All-in On Trump

If Republicans don’t dig in and fight this fraud now, we will never win another election again.
-Matt Gaetz

...does it literally never occur to these idiots to change their policies to those that Americans would actually want to vote for?

[szechuan]

Trump will never Concede and the current Republican Senate leader is backing Trump on his BS election fraud claims.

Trump's Goal is to cause Chaos and the Republicans are still complicit in his BS.

I've been keeping an eye on TheHill for, oh gee, "a while now". I've never seen anything close to 31,000 regardless of the story. A couple years back I made a stink about 10,000.

Those numbers have to have some kind of a "in the last x time..." aspect to them, because they're not the overall shared numbers.

The number on the bottom left is the correct share total.



You can check the other "Most Popular" stories and those numbers don't match up, either, once you click on the link and check out the shared total on the actual article page.

On that Barr announcement, I in particular don’t like the use of the word “irregularities” in this context. It is way too broad.

You are not alone.

They are. That just makes my point stronger.

BREAKING: In response to Barr's memo, the top DOJ official overseeing voter fraud investigations quit. w/

Man they are trying the hardest to steal this election and once again Barr is the Biggest Piece of Shit of this Administration.

No. They can't do that. Even when their rhetoric actually helped them pick up some latino voters, it doesnt occur to them that mid and long term consequences exists

I really, REALLY hope that when Biden is in office, his DOJ puts Barr, et al in jail

Apparently that's the case. In no small part because they were apparently looking to get AWAY from the downtown area where they knew they'd have a hostile crowd of Biden supporters interrupting the press conference.

Trump just didn't pay attention when he was told and only heard "Four Seasons", and naturally assumed the hotel. Which is like...very believable, IMO.

Still, not exactly your standard avenue for such things. Confirming it via google earth it's clear that this is hardly an event location. A city like philly should have some conference rooms/halls and such to rent on the outskirts as well, shouldn't it? Seems awfully weird to rent out a literal gardening service provider's shop, especially since they only have a parking lot for their machines in the back and a rather simple looking shop (nice little flower bed though).

You know it's fuckin' funny seeing screaming about Democrats cheating after Republicans have been doing everything in their power to make voting harder. Ratfuck the USPS by breaking mail sorting machines, decry Mail in Ballots, close polling places in Blue areas, shut down DMVs to stymie registration, targeted voter ID laws that disproportionately effect Liberal leaning / minority voters, garrymandering, leaning on the Electoral Collage after failing to win the popular vote more than once in the last twenty years.

And despite /all/ of that, Democrats still pulled ahead against a massive, concerted effort by a Presidential Administration and Political party to make sure they could win in spite of the will of the population and then began crying like spoiled babies when all of their cheating failed.

As I've said, Clinton should have put his ass in prison in 93.

Yeah, I wasn't really disputing your claim. Just found it odd.

They might. I have a suspicion based on god knows how many former us attorney's condemnation of him, that the current us attorney's aren't particularly fond of him, and once he's no longer the boss, might be a top priority of them to open investigation in his wrong doing. We may not know about it since they don't announce that stuff unless it gets leaked to the media, but I bet it'll be one of the first things along with Trump himself.

This is very good news in the DoJ. Taking a moral stand and resigning is not only the right thing to do, but signals MANY other individuals, that something is not right.

Even Fox News is cutting off people during Trump events who are calling into question the efficacy of the election.

Let the healing begin!

Yep, clear signal that a spot for sycophant is ready.

Whoever takes that spot will just be effectively blackballing themselves from work in the government for the next four years at least.

[Paranoid Android]

As he contests the election, Trump has largely stopped governing:

His public schedule hasn’t included an intelligence briefing since Oct. 1

No foreign lead call readout in weeks

No statement on Tropical Storm Eta

No COVID task force meeting in months

Haha! He is such a piece of feces. A quitter. A spoiled child.

Actually not much of a change from his almost 4 years of his Presidency. He was never a hard worker. No work ethic.

[cubby]

I don't think so, not at this point. The writing is on the walls. Hell, even Faux News isn't allowing Trumphadis to spew their election nonsense. Sure someone might step, but as others have pointed out, their career will take a hit.

And how long with that spot be open? Those are at-the-will-of-the-President positions - whomever takes it will be out Jan 21.

[beanman12345]

wow looks like if Biden has a lead of just 200 votes in AZ by the end of this, trump can't get a recount there. Unless I'm reading ballotpedia incorrectly on AZ recount laws.
