I'd like Biden to call Trump out on that drug test. At the first debate. Have dr Fauci backstage, ready to come on the moment Trump says OK. Because if Trump does drugs at all, it's either cocaine or amphetamine and he'll be on it for the debate.

True but it's Trump. If I was Biden and trump refused to vacate the house, I'd deploy a heavily armed tactical unit to fire tear gas and flashbangs in there and drag that dumbass cough and crying out of the building along with the rest of his henchmen. I would want his last moments in the whitehouse to be ones of humiliation. Make an example out of him.

Nothing would give me greater pleasure then to see him leave the building in handcuffs.

Joe Biden ordering him out, then shooting him dead if he refuses, would be a better end to the whole sorry saga of Trump's presidency.

It would win Joe some respect from the Right too!

Almost certainly not, no. They'd still be NFA items and it's standard procedure to tell newbies to avoid using these things for self defense because even if it's justified they're scary to the common folk and a DA will happily try to crucify you for it. There's only been a handful of times it's ever happened.

Also it's utterly impractical.

I mean, that's been what you've been calling for with other Presidents who refuse to leave office if your believe they rightfully lost.

The odds are still in your favor. Even then how would having a gun prevented that?

That might be the reason for his surge in donations and there might also be a new poll out soon affirming a three way election.

Doubt he'll actually get 25% of the vote let alone 10-15.

10-15 seems reasonable. Every election, there seems to be one standout third party candidate who can garner something in that range. If he wins just half of the anti-maskers in the state, bam, that's 12% of the vote.

And the other half with vote tactically to keep the Dem out, I'd like the Libertarian to win solely to give a giant middle finger to both parties voter suppression of choice and the duopoly of the two parties always dominating.

I'm sure we'll see an upset third party victory sometime in our lifetimes, but not this one, as you know.

My ballot came, some weeks earlier than I expected.

Who should I vote for, NSG?
The details of the above post are subject to leftist infighting.

I officially endorse Fivey Fox for president of the United States.
