How much support do you think he needs? I'll be he just needs a dozen high ranking individuals to maintain a hold on the direction of the military.Yeah, I don't think you've got the necessary amount of support in the military that you think you do, Donny Boy.
If shit goes down while the Rs in DC stand by and let it happen they all need to be tried for treason.There's no way the Trump presidency ends without him attempting to incite violence. Cohen was right - there will not be a peaceful transfer of power.
This is obviously a terrifying and dangerous thing for the supposedly democratically elected leader of any country to say, but please remember that Trump is fuckin coward and has never ever in his life backed up his tough talk with actions.

The Secret Service escorts him out of the White House once the new President is sworn in.
Trump is a coward and will always fold in a direct confrontation.
that's sweet that you'll think it'll be that easy. he's going to drag it out and won't accept the outcome if its not in his favor.
Look out everyone, we got the toughest man on the whole internet on our side.Fuck you, Trump. Bring it on, you pathetic bitch. If your little cult wants to throw down, I'll be more than happy to respond in kind.
I think it's more than an implicit threat. I think it sounds very much to me like he's encouraged them. Encouraging them to engage in something illegal such as assaulting people.
LOL I'm serious! If Trump's lackeys want to actually pull some shit, I'm not gonna sit back and let them do itLook out everyone, we got the toughest man on the whole internet on our side.
The oval office is the only thing stifling the dozens of investigations into him, I wouldn't be surprised if he plans to die in office to avoid charges and potential punishment.People act like Trump will drag his heels if he loses the next election.
Personally I suspect that he didn't want to win the first one and would be delighted to get the hell out.
Just what I was going to say. Leaving the presidency means becoming a citizen again. Once the GOP is not around to pull the levers of government to protect him and themselves in turn, he has a higher likelihood of genuinely answering for his crimes.The reason he's saying this and the reason Cohen said what he said is that within Trump's inner circle they know that they owe Republicans for desperately protecting him from the consequences of being a scumbag and to lose that protection will be devastating.The oval office is the only thing stifling the dozens of investigations into him, I wouldn't be surprised if he plans to die in office to avoid charges and potential punishment.
The secret service is sworn to protect the president of the United States. If he still is it, why wouldn't they just wait it out when he demands his infinite recount instead of performing some kind of rag tag coup?He'll leave if people vote his ass out -- Secret Service will ensure that. But this type of thing does definitely rile up individuals to do things like Charlottesville or send bullshit in the mail. Incredibly reckless.
From a historical perspective, is this worthy of congressional censure? I feel like it is, but I honestly don't know what censure has been used for in the past.
I hate to agree but you are right in a way.
You need powerful people to believe the election was fairly lost. If there's one thing that Resetera should've learned over the last two years, it's how powerful self deception can be for a Republican. I feel like you guys are really underestimating how fluid the rules are and how fragile democracy can be.On Jan 20 of 2021, the secret service will be protecting the next president of the United States - not Trump, if he loses the election.
The inauguration is just a ceremony. Power switches to the winner of the election regardless of what trump (assuming he loses said election) says or wants.
I.e. doesn't matter if he concedes or not. If he loses the election, he loses.
If Trump says the elections were fishy and that we're going to take some time to make sure everything's squared away, now it's the Democrats that are being emotional and hot headed when they take to the streets. Of course they're angry, we're looking into their election fraud. Is this how an innocent party acts? Etc
That's the bad thing. Maintaining power isn't hard, you just have to stand around with some big guys with guns.While the threat is there history has shown it's a very low risk of occurring. Americans are docile and complacent, including Trumpers.

It's the other side that has to be more than a passive observer.
Huh? The man is the commander in chief, if a handful of high ranking military officials side with him, the revolution has to come from the other side. And you're right, it's not there.Like I said, the US does not act like that. If it did the Socialists and Anarchists wouldn't just be saying "revolution" we'd be seeing it, but nada. The drive isn't there.
Well, ok I don't see many people dying for him, there will always be some unhinged idiots out there.
You don't understand the power right wing populism has in America. A massive chunk of the US armed forces, trained killers, adore the man.Well, ok I don't see many people dying for him, there will always be some unhinged idiots out there.
