US Presidential Election 2020

[wearthefoxhat]

If voting fraud was found, then the Supreme Court may choose to allow him to serve a second term, or will call for re-election (possibly forcing the Democrats to choose a different leader) – but no one quite knows what would happen.

If no voting fraud is found, or if the Supreme Court turn down Trump’s case, and he refused to accept a Democratic win and hunkers down in the White House, then he will be forcible removed by the military.

If Joe Biden wins the election, then Mr Trump will lose his power at midday on January 20, 2021.

Generel Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has already stated that the U.S. Armed Forces will have no role in carrying out the election process or resolving a disputed vote.

“I believe deeply in the principle of an apolitical U.S. military,” Milley said in written responses to several questions posed by two Democratic members of the House Armed Services Committee. “In the event of a dispute over some aspect of the elections, by law U.S. courts and the U.S. Congress are required to resolve any disputes, not the U.S. military. I foresee no role for the U.S armed forces in this process.”

It wouldn't be interfering in politics, the politics would be over and a squatter is in the Whitehouse, which would be a national security issue. If Trump's security walks out it could just be a job for the police or FBI.

On Sky News there's been a suggestion that Trump might surrender insisting that he was cheated and hasn't lost and plan to come back in 4 years. I'd like to think he'll be forgotten and confined to history by then.

Got it covered...

What a farce in Georgia. Data on a memory card that got corrupt! Ballot papers the wrong size that can't be automatically scanned!

Well up here, we have clear skys. The 2/3rd moon is shining. Fireworks are going off since 4pm. A Biden victory would suit me, but I imagine this will take a long time unless the US estlabishment say - enough the race is run.

Isn't there some sepculation that one of his children plans on running ?

Would not surprise me to see them elect their first woman president next in 4-8 years time.

And I think she's already overqualified by the looks of it and certainly experienced enough, purely because of Donald changing their bring your daughter to work day policy.

With Kamala H as VP to a newly appointed POTUS of 78 years old with 4 years to do it might be quite soon.

Republicans now want voting to stop in Georgia but continue in Arizona where they're catching up.

Does anyone know how the legal expenses will be paid, is through campaign money that was raised? I noticed each candidate raises the money or puts it up themselves.... if the legal costs are funded by this then who spent the most or more importantly, who has more left in the pot.

I'm ignorant about this issue but I wouldn't have thought this is a Republican v Democrat issue. Surely it's Republican (or Government) v The State?

That really is desperate. I wouldn't mind a one to one prayer meeting with her though.

I dont know but I sure would love to. Considering the tax payer is both Republican & Democrat I would think it couldn't be tax payer funded.

You'd probably need a priest on standby to hear your confession afterwards!

I'm not subscribed so I can't read the full story but it looks like Trump used his campaign funds in 2016 as a "piggy bank" for legal expenses.

Has he done the same again, do the legal expenses have to be paid through funds raised?

It was suggested on this thread a while back that this would go to the courts & that looks the likely path.

Also can they un call states that are being re counted? If so we could have this market for a while yet.

Never really pegged you as the religious type Derek.

Speaking of attractive women in politics, not sure if you've noticed POTUS's very own daughter Ivanka, quite the looker that one, I would very much like to have the sex with her, if you know what I mean

Yes, she is, but I'd still rather have Kayleigh.
