Phanerothyme Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Trump now needs to win 101.9% of the uncounted vote in PA. It's a slam dunk, with Biden's numbers looking better in battleground states than Reagan's in 1980. The USA is big and old enough to look after itself - it hasn't had to deal with a mad president before (to my knowledge), but I have no doubt it will deal with this one.

I'm wondering if Trump is starting to regret calling the military fallen, suckers and losers. He might need the forces support if he wants to hang onto power.

Trump has just replaced some senior Pentagon staff with Trump loyalists. If he tries anything, Trump may discover just how seriously the US armed forces take their oath to uphold the constitution.

alchresearch Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 He acts more like a dictator as each day goes on, and gets more dangerous as he's backed into a corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altus Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Top US general stands firm amid Pentagon turmoil: Quote Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley made clear his dedication to the constitution at an event Wednesday while standing beside the newly installed acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller. "We are unique among militaries. We do not take an oath to a king or a queen, a tyrant or a dictator. We do not take an oath to an individual. No, we do not take an oath to a country, a tribe or religion. We take an oath to the Constitution. And every soldier that is represented in this museum, every sailor, airman, Marine, Coast Guardsman, each of us will protect and defend that document, regardless of personal price," Milley said during remarks at the opening of the US Army's museum. Trump's too dumb to see statement that as the warning it is but hopefully some of those around him will and push him to act accordingly. In other news for Trump - US election security officials reject Trump's fraud claims: Quote US election officials have said the 2020 White House vote was the "most secure in American history", rejecting President Donald Trump's fraud claims. "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised," a committee announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 23 hours ago, CaptainSwing said: On the other hand they do have this thing of swearing allegiance to the Constitution, and I can't imagine they've taken too kindly to Trump describing people who fight and die for their country as 'suckers'. If he does refuse to go, or if he does replace the top military personnel, will some general take matters into his own hands? As Cadet Bonespurs he can hardly disparage people who didn't get a dodgy doctors note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longcol Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 You'd have thought Trump might have made a speech to all his supporters who turned up in Washington DC on Saturday. He went and played golf instead. Probably thinks they're "losers" and "suckers" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmiss Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Do the Americans have a version of ‘Can’t Pay We’ll Take It Away’? I’d love to see bailiffs giving him half an hour to pack his things and get out of the White House Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
