Anyone advocating a violent takeover of the Presidency is anti-American, against the Constitution, and opposed to American values in every way. It’s pretty much the definition of treason.

How the heck does that require a vast conspiracy, let alone including our military or our allies? All it would require is Russia using a little bit of strategy. Reverse psychology, and such. We want Biden elected, so we’ll push hard for Trump and make sure everyone knows we’re pushing hard for Trump.

So most Democrats are on the verge of being jailed? Or does execution still apply?

So, another Russia collusion hoax. They seem to be everywhere. As mentioned previously, Russia has been trying to influence U.S. elections for at least 50 years. I’m pretty sure that China is doing the same thing and has been for probably over a decade.

Now there’s something I can get behind. Are you talking about the the violent peaceful protesters, or their democrat mayors who are encouraging them?

Trump’s refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power provokes outrage, rebukes on Capitol Hill
“The winner of the November 3rd election will be inaugurated on January 20th,” wrote Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Thursday morning. “There will be an orderly transition just as there has been every four years since 1792.”
“Fundamental to democracy is the peaceful transition of power; without that, there is Belarus,” Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah tweeted Wednesday evening. “Any suggestion that a president might not respect this Constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable.”
“As we have done for over two centuries we will have a legitimate & fair election,” tweeted Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida on Thursday morning. “It may take longer than usual to know the outcome, but it will be a valid one and at noon on Jan 20,2021 we will peacefully swear in the President.”
Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio said Thursday morning that “both candidates must commit to abiding by the results, no matter the outcome,” although Biden has not called the validity of the election into question.
“The peaceful transfer of power is enshrined in our Constitution and fundamental to the survival of our Republic,” tweeted Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, a member of the GOP House leadership. “America’s leaders swear an oath to the Constitution. We will uphold that oath.”
On Fox News Thursday morning, Sen. Lindsey Graham made assurances that the transfer of power would be peaceful and said if the Supreme Court were to decide that Biden won, he would accept the result.
Our military, intelligence agencies, and allies all have evidence to the contrary and consensus of Russia’s intentions.
I guess alternate to conspiracy it could be requiring complete incompetence of all those parties…
It would also make no logical sense whatsoever for Putin to try to “help Biden”. Trump has been consistently peddling Russian interests and Russian propaganda even since before the 2016 election.

Quite the reaction for a non-answer to a baited question. Unlike the headline’s claims, I dont see any condemnation from Republicans. They’re merely providing an answer to the same question, many of them much more elegantly than Trump could ever hope to articulate.
As Romney (of all people) says, it’s unthinkable and unacceptable that [you] would even suggest the President wouldnt respect this. No, Trump wasnt the one who suggested this, you are - he just avoided the question altogether and let your imagination do all the work, once again sparking your outrage over, quite literally, nothing.

What evidence? Of course there’s evidence, evidence would be essential to selling the so-called conspiracy (although there’s nothing “conspiracy”-y about Russia being Russia for the benefit of Russia).
Or are you claiming they have been covertly bugging Putin’s office in Moscow, to know every word he’s said behind closed doors?
Why help Biden? Because the Democrats are endlessly trying to turn us more and more socialist. And every step we make in that direction means less pressure on Russia to move more towards “American capitalism”.

I was going to ignore this, but I cant. It’s pretty disgusting that you’d drag into this all those serving in the military and intelligence community, just so you then try to leverage them for being disparaged. I said nor implied anything remotely close to this., those people werent even tangently affiliated to my comment.

Sure they are. It’s their job function to determine what’s going on in this situation and advise the administration, Congress, and the rest of the country. Which they have done.
Maybe you are joking, but reality is very close to that.
Sure, it’s impossible to be inside Putin’s head. And unlike Trump he is actually pretty intelligent. Maybe he’s just playing 4D 5D chess. Using all available influence for the exact opposite thing he actually wants, just so that there might be backlash and undo all of the publicly visible policy and influence gains that Russia has made in the past 4 years – just to “damage Trump”. Or maybe things are how they obviously are, and Trump is facilitating Putin’s goals…
I do this to my 5 year old niece all the time. It’s more like playing checkers, than any-D chess.

AnotherYahoogyll headline:
Trump refuses to confirm that he will accept results of 2016 election. He, in fact, did accept the results. No one in the Democrat party has yet to accept them.
Just wait until we have this same argument in 2024, and probably 2028.

And it is undeniable, certifiable, without question, without doubt, confirmed, conclusive, and conjoined. The only correct adjective is certifiable, and only then with the connotation that it’s usually associated with.
Really? Is that why Hillary still has rent-free space in his head?
Well, now you’ve cornered yourself, I think. One of the following seems to be a certainty.

The vast majority of what the Democrats/Communists/Authoritarians/Socialists/Progressives have been claiming is pure bunk.

Trump is the smartest guy in the room, any room, the country, the continent, the hemisphere, the planet, the Milky Way, etc.
Pick your poison! … or make up some conspiracy involving the Justice dept., the military, the CIA, the OSS, and the Congressional Black Caucu.
But wait! You said that is impossible, and you certainly don’t want to be derogatory to the military, bureaucrats. You’re just not that kind of a guy.
I hope she does, but what she really needs is space in someone’s liver. I’ll have headlines regarding the rent-free comment, but have to go now.
There’s no vast conspiracy there. Justice department is under the executive branch. Justice department plainly stated its current policy is not to indict a sitting president, and similarly not to determine if a crime has been committed (since it won’t indict). The Justice department only delivered evidence to Congress. It’s the House’s job to impeach and the Senate’s to remove from office.
It’s solely a slight majority in the Senate (elected by a minority of the country) responsible for no removal from office.
A president can’t be in jail. Criminal charges can only be brought after removal from office (whether by the Senate or after a resignation or an election and installment of a new president).
