The Biden Coup
-
at what point will people give in? Biden will be on the capitol podium getting sworn in in January. People can in their mind accept or not accept his legitimacy. But he will be the one sworn in. On that I have no doubt and if you question that, then someone else has their heads buried in the asses so deep they can’t see what’s obvious to most of the population including most republicans. I’ll be happy to bump this post in January for those who think otherwise.
If you choose in your mind to not accept it, that’s certainly your right but it won’t change the reality on the ground.

Just put in a reminder.

Personally, I'd be amazed if the Trump's people come up with anything substantive, but I'm one of the very few people who posts on the internet who's frequently wrong about anything, so take that for what it's worth.

I offer no prediction of the result.
Maybe no prediction, but what do you believe?

IOW, Mik calls it for Biden.

President elect Biden will be the president, Not because the Democrats stole the election But because the Republicans and President Trump did not appeal to enough US voters to win the election. PERIOD.
There you go.

At what point did the democrats truly give in on the legitimacy of the Trump Presidency? Many thought he was installed by Putin and the media spent 4 years trying to prove it and the House tried to remove him.

She lost Georgia's governorship by a magnitude of order (literally) margin than Trump did.

POTD.

@Loki people may not have liked him but legal legitimacy was not questioned. People certainly grumbled.about the popular vs electoral count but no one questioned the legality.
Just look at the Obama Trump transition, was there any concerted effort to make it difficult?
what trump is doing is unprecedented and ultimately showing that the good of the nation is not really his priority.
He can still pursue legal redress and yet allow administration staff to meet with their counterparts and do some info sharing. What he’s doing is deliberately screwing any chance for transition, which will happen whether he likes it or not.
and what I once thought of as not conceivable, the secret service escorting him out in January, I see now as a possibility. If that happens, his legacy in history books will be pathetic indeed.

What, specifically, with regard to the transition is he doing that is unprecedented? He's disputing the validity of the election, pointless as it seems. It's a serious question. We're only 13 days since the election which he seems to have lost.
Just for a sense of perspective, 43's transition was done in 39 days, when Al Gore disputed the election.
Edit to add: I'm not justifying it by any means. Simply pointing out that it's not unprecedented.

Jon has never referred to Trump as President Trump. Oh, he managed to find one reference that was half-ass, but I don't count it. Maybe Captain Pedantic would, but Ax ain't judging this one.
At least Jon would say his name. There were multiple dipshits across the fence who would snigger as they referred to President Trump as Individual One or as I-1.
At least, if Biden is sworn in, I will refer to him as President Biden. I might spit when I do it, but I've got that much class.

It’s not unprecedented at all. It doesn’t seem like a good thing though.
In the 9/11 commission report, it mentioned that the short transition was a potential contributing factor to under-preparedness on terrorism.
GWB started preparing transition material 6 months ahead of the transition and work was well, well underway by the time the Obama transition started.
A terror plot was also foiled during Obama’s transition.

I seem to remember most conservatives here referring to President Obama as 'Obama'. I know I did, and I'm not even a conservative. Well ok, some referred to him as Barack Hussein Obama, and at least one routinely referred to him as Mr. Obama, generally following up with the honorific 'Two bit thug'.
I'm not convinced all the pearl clutching is really justified.
