Question - Civil Unrest.

[DezNutz]

I think the biggest trigger event for future civil unrest in the USA will be Trump refusing to stand down after a narrow election loss.
The ground has already been prepared for such a refusal with the alleged 'Enormous Postal Fraud' and similar 'threats to democracy' : amusing to watch both candidates vote early though.. hope some-one verified it was only once!

I am looking forward to see a very rare example of a coup d'etat undertaken by a incumbent president. The Republican senate has already shown it will go along with any BS to keep their boy in power, a freshly-packed Supreme Court, yep... this could be almost as convoluted and bloody as Syria.. but maybe Trumpolini should not expect any help from the Kurds...

Your second paragraph proves you are a moron.

The Supreme Court was not packed by the President performing his Constitutional duty of nominating someone to fill in the vacant position left by Ginsberg's death, nor by the Senate for performing their Constitutional duty to provide guidance on said nomination by consenting.

Dez.. your two replies simply bear out Haron's perceptive comments on only believing 'your side' is right.

If Trumpolini extends his presidency by means of ignoring the election result then it is a given that a thousand and one justifications will fly forth for it. I confidently expect that at least three you-tube channel commentators will assure us it was the only way to keep Biden's pizza-eating space-lizard lackeys out of power...and Dez will nod.

That aside, its plain enough to any outside observer that there are more than enough folk in the US both capable of and eager to start a conflict with their chosen mortal enemies. One of the difficulties of a wide-spread civil war being absent in the US as the people are already armed and have plenty of access to military-style weaponry and equipment.

When I posted 450k 'abysmally prepared" Nat guard, I should have said a great majority of citizens have guns - that was my point. How effective is 450k abysmally trained guard against -

About 40% of Americans say they or someone in their household owns a gun, and 22% of individuals (about 72 million people) report owning a gun, according to surveys from Pew and Harvard and Northeastern. This figure has declined over time, down from 51% of gun-owning households in 1978.Sep 18, 2020 https://wamu.org/story/20/09/18/how-man ... -own-guns/

Yeah, but how many of those who own guns intend to go out and use them if their side loses? Yes, a lot of folks own guns, that doesn't mean that they intend to go out and fight just because of an election. Honestly I expect most folks with guns will just keep them on hand in case of a riot or folks trying to loot their home.

I also doubt there will be a civil war, but I expect that if trump wins, some folks will go out and riot. If Biden wins, I doubt anyone will riot, but I could be wrong.

I didn't include the Trump is a dictator option because it's a BS narrative.

lol ginsberg had every opportunity to retire under obama and instead she chose to stay and welcome the first woman president and it didnt happen
and any chance of obama getting a dem in her place in his first two years was shot after that he would have had to pick a candidate that the republicans could agree with since the dems lost the majority of the senate
packing the court is a term obviously you are not familiar with danik as there are 9 judges as there has been for a looong time
i think you would see a packed court if dems won senate and presidency big difference

as for civil unrest turning into a war naaaah not likely
but i could see looters and rioters becoming target practice if they veer from the stores and head towards homes
smaller businesses may also head towards gun protection
but they should be safe if there is no nike outlet nearby because it seems looters cant loot without a new pair of jordans

as for votes and voter fraud i believe there is plenty of it going on
but i also think overall where it counts state to state for the electoral college i think trump will do awesome
bidens promise to end oil and gas at the last debate was a horrible stand to take publicly he is lucky there was already some early voting going on

I think packing is a very apt term. The hilarious 180 thrown by the Republicans in the Senate re: 'nominating a new judge in an election year' was beyond the most cynical of satirists to have scripted. It looked like it smelt like : any old BS to get a 'Republican-friendly' body on the bench. That a Democrat might have done or might do the same is hardly a justification for dishing out the same swill. What happened to draining the Swamp?

As for the voter-fraud defence on losing the election... that's the kind of excessively fore-shadowed cliff-hanger ending that would get a script-writer fired off the wackiestly stupid soap opera. Or a job on the Game of Thrones re-boot.

Chaos is a ladder. The US has plenty of Littlefinger wannabees ready to climb. No shortage of holy-rollers to tell us the night is dark and full of terrors. Winter is coming! Beware the Others!

It isn't a 180. The situation was different as the Senate was controlled by the opposite party. If you think the Dems would act differently if the shoe was on the other foot, you are a hypocrite.

2016 WH - Dem Senate - Rep

2020 WH - Rep Senate Rep

The Senate is not required to consent or hear a nomination. The Constitution only requires the Senate to be consulted and the Senate to approve.

[Most Lee Harmless]

Yep... our BS smells better than yours so we must be right. If you bother to read for comprehension.. I never said the Democrats would act differently. I said that argument does not justify the 180. Draining the swamp or just painting it a different colour?

[Dmanwuzhere]

lol and the 180 arguments of its the presidents right to nominate (which it is) is funny to watch the dems argue as vehemently for it as they did against it i watch them in speed x 2.5 for even more laughs
senates right to confirm or deny true they should have just said nope ... the end ... but politicians love to talk and look good so an excuse was used


rittenhouse by the way beat the illegal gun charge so self defense arguments will move forward
cant wait until rosenbaum who is a convicted pedophile of 5 known little boys gets his name drug through the courts
it will explain why he may have had such an interest in kyle
the ironic part the other two were convicted of domestic assault rape of a female and robberies and for all the victimization they created
they were out protesting supposed injustices
