Sadly, I think this is what would happen. Though there'd be some people continuing to object. If they start to end up in jail, it's possible more Americans would wake up and get angry...but sadly I'm not positive of that.


Yep. Watch the movie Don't Look Up. Different context but same outcome.

He can’t. He has no power as of January 20. If no other president is approved Pelosi would have been sworn in. End of story.


He would have claimed the alternate slate was valid and as such he was still president.

SCOTUS has come out with two radical decisions in the past few weeks.

First is essentially laying the foundation for overturning settled law. If the GOP is so hellbent on making abortion illegal, then they should pass a law to that extent. Otherwise, the freedom for a woman to manage her body should supersede.

Second, the SCOTUS has basically said the government doesn't have the legal ability to protect the health and safety of workers in this country, despite the US Constitution specifically given that right at the top of the document.


Let’s be real. There is no freedom to manage your body in the Constitution. Roe may have been right morally but there is no basis for it. And even in a crisis our whole system is based on the notion of limits to government power. Biden had no authority even if is the right decision. You know who has the authority with both of these issues: Congress. Put abortion aside. Congress could pass a law that gave Biden the power to issue that order. They could do it today. It would be constitutional. But they have not.


re: the bolded...yes, which is why the government should have NO role in managing women's bodies. This is the core hypocricy to the GOP position on abortion.

If a new slate of electors came from a state and pence and congress accepted? Trump president. Not a coup. That is how the process works.

Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to review this.


And when the alternate slate is fraudulently created a and certified as it turns out is the case in 2020?

DP here. Congress did pass the law. It's called the Occupational Health and Safety Act which establishes the Occupational Health and Safety Administration. SCOTUS ruled that OSHA has no authority to regulate hazards that are present both within and outside a workplace, overturning the vaccine mandates. This is BS, since OSHA absolutely regulates things like fire safety. Last I checked, fires can happen pretty much anywhere.

JFC. I have zero patience for this kind of dire bull. Get involved! Stop being doom and gloom. Stop being down on Biden, who is being brought down by a concerted effort between the GOP and their corporate owners (who conveniently own the media, too).

But I sense that you’re actually just another Republican meant to sway opinions. If you actually had the numbers you wouldn’t need to cheat by treason, campaign finance cheating, throwing people off the rolls, gerrymandering, voter suppression, outright changing election results you don’t want and trying to overthrow the government. Anyone who supports the GOP is an unamerican whack job. There’s no middle ground until the current GOP is dead.


You're clueless and delusional about the reality around you, but at least you wrote a post that serves as a good example of why this country is inevitably heading towards a disunion.

The moderates dems and independent are already okay with trump. Trump language is a little to rough for some but they agree with policies. Trump policies are basically Reagan’s policies but without the plausible deny ability that Reagan offered. So do nit look for some big wave of moderate to vote for trump. They are already voting for him.

Minorities hosed
