Trump should say “I cannot control what Democrats do. If they refuse to accept the results of the election when I win, like Hillary didn’t, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

The masked sheeple have been and will. Unfortunately that’s never enough.. they will force us to also. The worst thing is to watch the parents mask their toddlers.
Comply, from birth. If we allow the birth that is.

Peaceful transfer of power ended by 1960 when JFK stole the White House.

Democrats wanted to impeach Nixon in his first term before Watergate even happened.

They wanted to impeach/block Reagan and Trump before they were sworn in.

Red Ted Kennedy colluded with the KGB in 1984 to try to defeat Reagan’s re-election.

A loony squirrel ran third party twice to split the conservative vote.

And since 2000 the Democrats have denied the Republican victor an election night celebration ever since and they promise to do it again this year. Hitler Rotten Clinton has said “don’t concede” and states are extending mail in balloting over a week after election day.

They will “Find” ballots in a trash can somewhere, and just enough ballots to “win” the state

Well, they ONLY have two weeks after election night to find enough ballots. That’s so unfair to them. /sarc

April 2014: Hartford Courant: Hillary Clinton Urges UConn Crowd: Get Involved, Take A Stand
By DANIELA ALTIMARI
Her talk at UConn was hosted for by the University of Connecticut Foundation, a private group. The program was funded by a grant from the Fusco family of New Haven, which underwrites speeches by scholars, authors and policymakers.
The audience was 70 percent students and 30 percent faculty, staff and guests, with political dignitaries such as Blumenthal and former U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd occupying the front row. The crowd greeted Clinton warmly, with several rounds of extended applause and at least one standing ovation.

“She’s an extremely prominent national figure,” ***Kevin Breuninger of Newtown said as he waited in line to get in. “She was the first lady in the ‘90s, and she has what seems to be a very promising political future.”...

They are all in.

They stand to lose hundreds of billions if Trump wins.

The China money train will end. The billions sent to other countries as aid will be slowed down even more.

Trump shouldn’t leave office if he suspects rampant fraud.

And then events from there will spiral into God knows what.

Better be prepared.

earlier, someone posted Forbes’ article by Tommy Beer, re Atlantic article by Barton Gellman, on the same theme:

Forbes bio: Tommy Beer, New York-based news desk reporter for Forbes covering sports, politics and business

Barton Gellman is based at the Century Foundation, where he is a senior fellow, and also holds an appointment as Visiting Lecturer and Author in Residence at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs...
Gellman lives with partner Dafna Linzer in New York City. - Wikipedia

Dafna Linzer, managing editor of politics for NBC News and MSNBC, with a role spanning broadcast and digital coverage on both networks for the 2016 election campaign. Linzer was formerly managing editor of MSNBC; senior reporter at ProPublica; foreign correspondent for the Associated Press; and national security reporter for the ‘’Washington Post‘’...
In March, 2019, Linzer was criticized in a Twitter thread by journalist Yashar Ali for what he called “inappropriate and unethical” conduct. Ali claimed that Linzer had bullied him on behalf of the Democratic National Committee to delay a story for publication. He wrote, “I realized that @DafnaLinzer, the head of all political coverage for NBC News and MSNBC wasn’t calling to advocate for her network, she was calling to advocate the DNC’s position. She wanted me to wait so they could call state party leaders”. - Wikipedia

The Century Foundation (established first as The Cooperative League and then the Twentieth Century Fund) is a progressive think tank headquartered in New York City with an office in Washington, D.C...
Renamed the Twentieth Century Fund in 1922, and then The Century Foundation in 1999, the Foundation has sought liberal, progressive solutions to the nation’s problems... - Wikipedia

old, but relevant:

2006: Capital Research: The Century Foundation
by Martin Morse Wooster
A recent close ally of the Century Foundation is the Center for American Progress (CAP), the think tank conceived by George Soros and headed by former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta. A 2003 article in the New York Times reported that Century Foundation president Richard Leone was one of the center’s founders.
The Century Foundation and CAP jointly sponsor the Security and Peace Initiative (securitypeace.org), which “places emphasis on identifying and promoting emerging voices in progressive foreign policy.” The Initiative provides one added bit of evidence for the increasing links between the Century Foundation and George Soros: the director of the Initiative is Morton H. Halperin, who is not only senior vice president of CAP, but is also director of Soros’s Washington, D.C.-based Open Society Policy Center. The arrangement seems to be mutually beneficial–the Century Foundation draws on the talent and resources of CAP, a young, vibrant organization, while CAP profits from its association with a venerable progressive foundation. Meanwhile, the Open Society Policy Center, whose name is used quite sparingly on the Security and Peace Initiative’s website, can promote its ideas through a respectable proxy at several removes from the name Soros, which is politically poisonous...

The Initiative did team directly with the Open Society Institute in 2005 to produce a major report titled “Restoring American Leadership: 13 Cooperative Steps to Advance Global Progress.” Among the recommended steps are promoting nuclear nonproliferation, supporting the international criminal court (a perennial issue for Soros), moving away from unilateral military action, ratifying the 1979 UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (a thirty-article behemoth that easily dwarfs the Equal Rights Amendment), increasing foreign aid, and cooperating with the UN on “climate change.”

Among the reports authors are representatives from Amnesty International, the National Environmental Trust, the International Women’s Health Coalition, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and the Open Society Institute. The recurrent themes are resistance to unilateralism, support for welfare entitlement programs on an international scale, and mobilizing support for the creation of international bureaucracies...

28 Aug: Consortium News: ELECTION 2020: Bourgeois Democracy Meets Global Governance
by Diana Johnstone (who lives in Paris. Her latest book is Circle in the Darkness: Memoirs of a World Watcher)
Diana Johnstone considers the fun and games surrounding the possibility of a disputed U.S. election result and concludes that the future is being planned elsewhere, for instance at the next meeting in Davos...

The Global Governors
The old one is of course George Soros, who needs no introduction. He has no doubt that the world should be one big Open Society — in a word, globalization — in which borders and nation states dissolve into a kaleidoscopic mix of cultural identities in which major decisions are taken by brilliant financial oligarchs like himself.

The younger one is Nicolas Berggruen, the dashing 59-year-old Paris-born son of a leading art collector. Berggruen enjoys double U.S.-German citizenship and membership in the Council on Foreign Relations, the NYU Commission on Global Citizenship, the Brookings International Advisory Council, the Leadership Council at Harvard’s Kennedy School Center for Public Leadership, the World Economic Forum – and on and on. He helped get Emmanuel Macron elected president of France and has friendly relations with Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Union Commission...

"The question is, will we comply like we did for Covid lockdowns or will we standup and do what is necessary?

And based upon a lifetime of experience my guess in answering that question is that "we", as has been the norm, will comply. Oh to be sure "we" will make noise and bitch on Boards like this one but I have been waiting since the Viet Nam demonstrations for the right to organize and take it to the streets. 50 plus years later I am still waiting.

Before my expiration date, I would really like to see it happen! Who knows if it does and someone volunteers to wheel me down the street I just might join in.

The Atlantic: The Election That Could Break America

***Special Preview: November 2020 Issue

A great deal has been written about the proceedings, including a firsthand account from my colleague David Frum. But the coverage had a puzzling gap. None of the stories fully explained how the contest ended. I wanted to know who took the oath of office.

I called Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown professor who co-founded the project. Unnervingly, she had no answers for me...

“We got to points in the scenarios where there was a constitutional impasse, no clear means of resolution in sight, street-level violence,” she said. “I think in one of them we had Trump invoking the Insurrection Act and we had troops in the streets … Five hours had gone by and we sort of said, ‘Okay, we’re done.’ ” She added: “Once things were clearly off the rails, there was no particular benefit to seeing exactly how far off they would go.”...

That is an unsettling precedent for 2021. If our political institutions fail to produce a legitimate president, and if Trump maintains the stalemate into the new year, the chaos candidate and the commander in chief will be one and the same.

They don’t really want a war, they are just hoping we don’t have the stomach for their threats of war.

Who know what will happen with the voting, fraud, mail in votes and how long will votes be accepted... probably long enough to get enough to say Biden wins.

Isn’t that always their way? Find ballots until it puts the democrat ahead then stop counting?
