    Letting him run will result in him being president or him attempting a coup.

    There is no other option if we let him run. There will be carnage one way or another. He has made this abundantly clear.

    If we throw his ass in jail, we can easily quell the MAGA crowd’s attempt at some kind of response to that.

      To even question this is fucking stupid. He didn’t even agree with the results of the election he won!

      Are people this amnesiac? Are microplastics destroying our brains?

      Attempting a coup is much harder with an opponent on the executive branch. The only reason the last one was close was because Trump was sandbagging the response. The only way one succeeds now is if the military facilitates the coup, aggressively, IMO.

        Tbf, that was the case when he’s president, too.

        Our commanding officers protect the constitution, not the president or any person.

    Since the excerpt here is cut off,

    In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the former president said he would accept the results of the November election showing he lost “if everything’s honest.”

    “If everything’s honest, I’d gladly accept the results,” Trump said in an interview Wednesday. "If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.

    “But if everything’s honest, which we anticipate it will be — a lot of changes have been made over the last few years — but if everything’s honest, I will absolutely accept the results,” he said.

    So in trump terms, honest = he wins, dishonest means he didn’t.

    This loser is beyond pathetic. He’s the fakest fuck I’ve ever seen in my life. And it’s so glaringly obvious. How could anyone look at this deteriorated weak delusional coward and see a strong truthful leader?

    The manchild has never once admitted his fuckups, failings, losses, or shortcomings. That’s a major red flag. Real men do. This emotionally stunted toddler can’t and isn’t. He’s a silver spoon terrified child trapped in a bloated dying brain scrambled corpse.

    How did it ever become relevant whether the loser accepts the result?
    The result should obviously be decided by a non corrupt competent body, oh… never mind.

      It is relevant in that the loser is the elected nominee for his party and has many people who look up to him and follow his lead. If the loser accepts his defeat gracefully, the people who look up to him are more likely to accept the results and less likely to cause trouble. It doesn’t matter who decides the results and how non-corrupt they are if a corrupt loser sows doubt in the results and makes his followers think they have been cheated, particularly when the majority of his party joins in instead of ostracizing him for being a liar.

        Has there ever been a democrat presidential candidate who ever said he/she wouldn’t accept not winning?

        This insanity is exclusively something the Republicans say.

        But yes I would, reluctantly yes, and I would be sad and pissed that so many would vote for a criminal corrupt malignant narcissist. But I would accept it unless there was clear evidence as in proof of cheating. Not just accusations mind you, proof.

      He’s already using the language to foment a coup, like last time, telling people they have to fight.

      “If everything’s honest, I’d gladly accept the results,” Trump said in an interview Wednesday. "If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.

      Plus, the Supreme Court is entertaining the idea he’s above the law.

      Don’t take anything for granted.

        This time, Biden is the incumbent. He would act immediately if they decide to try another insurrection. The only time I’ve ever seen police use less lethal weapons on a crowd properly was on January 6, 2021. Every other time, including current college protests, these weapons are being aimed directly at people in the crowd. These weapons can and do fucking kill people or maim them when aimed directly at them, which is why you aren’t supposed to fucking do that!

        January 6, 2025 will not be as interesting, thankfully. Lord I hope this comment doesn’t age like milk…

          Tell me what you do if 80,000 angry people show up. You can’t arrest them all while they’re trying to beat the officers to death, so that basically leaves crowd control measures, and as a last line, lethal force.

          If a substantial portion of them have gas masks, we’re basically skipping straight to lethal force unless acoustic crowd control is more effective than I currently believe.

            If that happens, the magoos would have brought them on themselves and have no one to blame but themselves.

            I do wonder if some of the newer nonlethal options might be something they keep at the ready (such as directed energy weapons, LRAD) if they want to avoid having to shoot a lot of domestic terrorists.

        I think Biden’s admin should maybe take donnie’s lawyer’s argument to heart and push the boundaries of what is acceptable, by having donnie arrested and thrown in Gitmo.

        Then, let it wind through the courts while he sits in prison. Let it get the same slow-walk that all things donnie get up until now. How long has it been since donnie and his conspirators goaded on an insurrection while also plotting a coup to steal an election with their fake elector plot? I say donnie could sit in prison at least that long.

      Nope, but if he does get elected (by the EC), I expect the media to (again) start up with nonsense about how he’s going to pivot, any day now, into being “presidential” and also tone-policing everyone about how everyone has to “respect the office”, be “civil” and so on.
