Report: Trump plans to barricade himself in the oval office and refuse to come out if Biden wins
The president has told allies he’ll never concede.

Trump will not Pardon himself. Because he can't. To pardon himself, he has to be under accusation. He's not (formally). This is why Nixon was pardoned after the fact, and did not pardon himself, and the pardon was so broad, it could have been challenged.

I'm telling you reality. You too, sound young.


Yes, because Donald Trump would never pursue a silly legal strategy.

The argument wasn't whether a president pardoning himself would be valid. It's whether Trump may do it. If it doesn't hold up, what's it to him? His cult won't think any less of him for trying.

A better question would be why would you even comment on things like fraud before it's been investigated?

Legal complaints have been legally filed. If they turn out to be bullshit, there are consequences for that, too.

Everyone needs to calm down a bit. As it stands now, both parties appear to be acting within their Constitutionally guaranteed rights to try to win the Presidency. If that changes, then we can ask such questions.

Likewise, UNTIL such allegations are proven false, no justifications need be provided. Just wait. Please, stop the trolling bullshit folks. Wait. It'll all work out.

America will be here tomorrow, I promise.


The losing candidate calling the election a fraud, saying it's being stolen, and filing frivolous lawsuits is not behavior that should be acceptable. It's being a sore loser and undermining democracy. The fact that it's legal for him to be a whiny, destructive little bitch on his way out does not make it legitimate or beyond criticism.

Now you're trying to define my argument for me? As I said: Young. I said what I said. If you don't like it, move on. Grow up. Nobody cares if you can't accept the answers you're given.

...And if you cannot accept a competition for what it is, then you've never had to compete. Stop fondling your participation trophies and get out on the field. Calls of fraud, legal challenges, etc. are all part of the competition.

If Trump wins, well done!
If Biden wins, well done!

If either one concedes, they're fucking idiots. Only a cultist would try to promote anything else. Grow up, kiddo. Everyone's sick of your form of propaganda.
