Great to see somebody have such innocent faith, because I certainly don't.

I already live alert as it is, I always note where every exit is when I'm in a public space just in case i have to flee for my life from an active shooter. It's not a stretch to think somebody disgruntled over Trump losing could turn to bombing or shooting.

If people can't respect a peaceful transfer of power and the democratic process then we are lost as a country


People can't respect the peace in this country, what makes you think it matters if its around January 21st on an inauguration year or any other time?

I feel you. I’m hyper aware of political violence after being threatened by some fucking lunatic myself, I’m always, like you, trying to be very alert.

Decades of encouraging a civilian arms race for commercial purposes will do that to you, especially when your culture breeds permanently angry manchildren like they're some kind of prize cattle.

The President cannot ask to alter an election simply because he wants to move it.


The President can ask and Congress can refuse... oh wait, that's actually what happened and there was nothing unconstitutional about it.

It doesn't have to be official, although it should be public so that the voters know where their representatives stand. This refusal was public.

By this do you mean that enough reps said that they would refuse if it came to a vote?

You can't be serious. Christchurch didn't happen because of Trump, it happened due to the little bastard wanting an "Eco-Fash" society without muslims. This is the most retarded statement I've seen from a democrat supporter

Actually a good question.

My opinion: Speaker Pelosi just has to sneer, and it's not happening. It's not even necessary to consider whether it would pass the Senate (tho it probably wouldn't).

Probably almost none. You can tell by how there is already mail-in voting in the US and there's never been a big problem.

Voter fraud is just part and parcel of the U.S. electoral system. My mom allegedly voted for Clinton last election, except for the fact she was home all day that day. You think mail-in ballots don't conveniently go missing? Hell, 65,000 ballots were flat out rejected due to being too late, because the mail is slow.
