President Biden said he is “not confident at all” that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025 if former President Donald Trump is defeated.

He means what he says. We don’t take him seriously. He means it. All the stuff about 'If we lose, there’ll be a bloodbath, it’ll have been a stolen [election],'” Mr. Biden told CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa in his first sit-down interview since announcing he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination. The interview will air on “CBS News Sunday Morning” on Sunday, Aug. 11.

Look what they’re trying to do now in the local election districts where people count the votes,” said Mr. Biden. Repeating a familiar maxim about elections and democracy, the president said, “You can’t love your country only when you win.”

    The transfer of power from Biden to Harris should be peaceful because Trump isn’t involved in it.

    2021 wasn’t peaceful only because Trump still had power. If he has no power, you shut that shit down and it’s peaceful.

    “I want a permit to protest the counting of votes!”

    (Checks history) “Yeah, permit denied.”

        I live in Baltimore. That shit doesn’t scare me. I’d like to see them try.

        Trumpers who advertise as such on their vehicles and try starting shit have been known to leave with a couple extra “vent holes” on their vehicles.

            Ireland is the Baltimore of Europe, England is the Backersfield, and Scotland is Portland. I will not elaborate.
