US President Joe Biden has said he is not confident there will be a peaceful transition of power if Donald Trump loses the presidential election in November.

"[Trump] means what he says, we don’t take him seriously. He means it, all this stuff about ‘if we lose it will be a bloodbath’.”

Mr Trump’s comment that it would “be a bloodbath for the country” if he loses the election, made as he was talking about the auto industry in March, triggered a wave of criticism.

The Trump campaign, however, said the comment was specifically about the auto industry and had been deliberately taken out of context. It sent a fundraising email which said Trump’s political opponents and others had been “viciously” misquoting him.

    What. The. Fuck.

    So they just don’t certify results they don’t like.

    The three board members who voted for it – Dr Janice Johnson, Rick Jeffares and Janelle King – were praised by name three days ago by Donald Trump at an Atlanta campaign rally.

    This smells like corruption.

      This smells like corruption.

      “The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!”

      Tap for spoiler

      In other words, yes, the corruption smells like itself.

      That isn’t even the only ratfucking tactic in play, BTW. They’ve also streamlined the process for challenging voter eligibility, such that even out-of-state right-wing traitors can try to disenfranchise an unlimited number of GA voters (especially “urban” ones). And that’s on top of the usual shortening early voting, limiting polling places, etc.

      Frankly, at this point I think it’s even odds Georgia’s popular vote doesn’t get counted, unless non-traitors wake up to the danger and start a massive poll-watching (etc.) effort.
