  1. everything is fake because why….he lost. All his law suits have been thrown out because of lack of evidence. He accepts all the Senate votes but not the votes that voted for Biden. WTF.

    1. @twilady2500 hi again twilady the fact of the matter per the Constitution djt is commander and chief of the armed forces. You should relisten to this podcast and hear gen mccafferey alarm.

  2. I think Trump is looking for suicide by government because he rather be assassinated than face his fate after Jan 20, 2021.

  3. Is he saying you have a madman in charge of the white house? If that is the cause the military better move quick and remove this individual.This General is a ex Marine people you don’t mess with.

    1. @Alpha Omega If it’s the military they have bases all over the country. This will all depend on the loyalty of those people to their community vs the treasonist pres. They are trained to OBEY. I’d be very concerned if I were you.

    2. @Carol Miller No. I don’t own a gun. Well had one in the military. Half of those that do have a in would probably shoot themselves in the face.
      Don’t be afraid. Trump makes noise. Nothing else.

    1. I agree, Americans treat trump like a spoilt child, when he is a crazy dangerous man, with a load of power. Be careful USA

    2. @Janet Clough I cannot agree enough with you. The idea of settling in and waiting this out til Trump “processes” the fact that he lost does not sound right to me. Not at all.

    3. We know what to do! We just have congresspeople who were elected to serve the people, who only serve themselves and their own interests. They are little frightened people afraid of a crazy man whose tweets are all powerful in controlling them. THEY ARE THE IDIOTS. More than half of us voted for Biden because we DO UNDERSTAND what has to be done.

    4. Exactly! We learnt lessons from Hitler. And here Trump is attempting the exact same thing! Remove him. 25th amendment!!!

    1. 1-20-21 will be here before we know it. All we need to do is keep our eyes on our prize but in the meantime, please don’t worry. Trump just trying to scare us but it’s actually that orange punk who’s actually scared. We got this you guys. I’m not just talking to my fellow Americans, I’m talking to all of my other brothers and sisters around our beautiful planet.☺

    2. *Once again, be prepared for a military coup d’etat to overthrow the republic into a gestapo regime AKA WW3 Germany reborn. Remember the concentration camps … it’s unfolding.*

    1. @M G What horse sh@t. Do you think the constitution was written by God?? He has proven over and over, institutions and their charter, mean nothing to him.

    2. @M G Per the War Powers Act the threat of or actual war can attain him an additional six months. Dershowitz also penned an article for “The Hill” in Jan. that laid out martial law and elections. This is planned, and there is nothing accidental about any of it. Add in the arms/jets/bomb sales to Taiwan, UAE, and Israel (who can broker elsewhere), all being pushed right now. Trump Co. already purchased an island in UAE. Halkbank and Deutschebank issues are still at the forefront, and MBS is being sued by Khashoggi’s fiancee. The election flurry is for ready spending capital for his pocket and diversion, while the real action is being implemented. It is more than just him that will go to jail. The Senate will not stand in the way. If McConnell’s arm is not from Remdesivir, then he was worked over. They need to ignore the memo and courtesy, and file indictments. It’s out of hand. I’d prefer he go to Gitmo for sedition, treason, and operating as a foreign agent, but that’s my perspective.

    3. @M G You need to watch the TED talk called “What happens if a President loses an election and refuses to leave?”
      Come talk to me after you do…..

    1. @Jack Boot Trump is above the law. Vladimir Putin is a dictator and Russia holds elections. A president is supposed to have 2 terms in office but Putin has decided to be above the law declares that he is a life president. Check out how he deals with his opponents.

    2. @Epic Story no, it isn’t
      There comes a moment in every paradigm shift where the innocent co-conspirators are faced with reality. Americans will be Americans, that’s what we do

    3. but know your enemy, for sure. I can denenestrate bannon anywhere on this planet – same with any of the pretenders to power. WHy can’t you? That is powerlessness, and NOT acceptable in our country nomatter republic or democratic republic

    1. Uh. I don’t want to think you’re right but look at how the transfer of power has gone since the election?

    2. Now today!!!!, If they dont act now america will live too regret it,trump is fighting for his life he knows he is going too jail

    3. Breaking Now !!! Trump has contacted ” Two Men & Truck” a moving company in Tulsa to help him pack his bags back to Florida. 👍

    1. they had better….this is dragging out way too long…
      the ones who voted for trump😝 actually think he has won…
      Biggest con job ever
      Conning America
      👹👎

    1. *Once again, be prepared for a military coup d’etat to overthrow the republic into a gestapo regime AKA WW3 Germany reborn. Remember the concentration camps … it’s unfolding.*

  4. If a sitting President loses their reelection, they should immediately lose all power of the oval office. Power should temporarily be transferred to Congress until the new President is sworn in.

    1. For 244 years we haven’t had to worry about that. But you’re right, now the ‘norms’ no longer apply. People keep sitting around and doing nothing, thinking the ‘norms’ will keep him in check.

    2. Also time to look into how Presidents have way too much power, with ineffective checks on their misbehavior in the Constitution.
