Yeah, one way or another Trump gets to go home. The GOP has to keep being a political party.

A home for Trump? Hmm. Well, NY don't want him. Florida seems to be having second thoughts. What to do, what to do, what to do?
Hey! :idea:

I can almost see the ads now like it's already tomorrow. Thousands of them. Won't you please give to "A Place for Trump™". Help the Trump family retain their attorneys at no cost to themselves. Help Trump Foundation purchase suitable acreage in some perpetually shitty state which will always want Trump there... including his Presidential Library with the best coloring books ever! Won't you send your donation in gold coins today (not the chocolate ones wrapped in foil)? Bitcoin and blank checks accepted.

Mr. Rogers widow has gone on record as saying that Donald Trump is a horrible person. If you're planning on voting for him you might be disappointing Mr. Rogers. You wouldn't want to do that, would you?

Of course not. I wish he was still with us in addition to Bob Ross.

If Trump tries to stop counting ballots after the first week while at the same time the Post office is being made efficient as possible, what can be done to counter that attempt of voter suppression?

I doubt any judge is going rule in his favor. If a ballot is valid it gets counted

If Trump tries to stop the vote count while he's ahead rather than risk Biden votes piling up. I'm not entirely sure if this form of suppression has a specific name.

Hmm, it's a definitely a violation of his oath of office.

A specific term, eh? Hell, let's go with... TREASON.

But he can't. He has no power that would allow him to do that.

Let's call it something like "impossible" or "non-existent"

Never doubt how low trump can go. Everytime you think he can't do something worse, he does.

Governors have the national guard at their disposal. No sane elected official is going to stand for anything like that.

People like you will deny the onset of a civil war until it is thrust upon them, and the weight will be unbearable.

Sure he does. It's called the DHS.

No he doesn't. Many states have specific laws for who is allowed at polling places and no judge is going to rule not counting must stop just because someone is ahead.

Trump continues to think he can win New York and will contest the state. There is no way he wins it.

"Trump's not advertising in New York"
"Trump's not campaigning in New York"
Trump doesn't give a fuck about New York

I think it's one of those "I will represent all Americans, whether they voted for me or not" things.
Though, you know, everyone does that. The candidate has to pull an oar for the down-ticket.

I'm in New York and keep seeing targeted, NY-specific digital ads. Next time I see one I'll post it here.

Doesn't matter what a judge rules. It's Donald Trump, and he cares about the law very little when he's trying to avoid the embarassment of losing to Joe Biden.

No state governor Republican or Democrat is going to tolerate that. I doubt even McConnell would stand for it.

Similar claims were made pre-1860.

Lincoln was still elected and inaugurated and an election was held in the middle of the Civil War too.
