2020 US Election mega thread

[revelations]

The lead up to, and the aftermath of this, will make 2016 look like a small town carnival.

If one likes entertainment in the form of Amerikan politiks, this will be a full on buffet.

EDIT - if trumpet man wins, expect a serious assassination attempt to be made within 6 months. If successful, it will lead to complete chaos.

So much hate for trumpet man in NA. Do you guys prefer Winnie the Pooh?

[ThePenIsMightier]

This is dumb. The debates will seal Biden's fate. I think I and others said it pages ago. He is a hot cringe mess speaking when he's scripted and Trump is going to eat his babies when he's trying to speak off the cuff.
Whatever the mystical quantities of undecided voters actually are - they will not be swayed by Biden's horrific debates and speaking. He is going to get SMOKED.

No doubt about it, especially when POTUS just yesterday would not commit to a peaceful transition of power should he lose.

Civil war incoming

It is laughable how much press this nonsense is getting.

That's him posturing again though. Saying there would be a peaceful transition, is admitting there's a chance he'll lose. There's no way his ego would let him admit that on camera.

Bingo! Yet the media would have you believe he said he will hijack the military and start a civil war if he loses.

I think the riots have already sealed sleepy Joes fate. But also this as well. The people fabricating these elusive power plays they think Trump will make, are simply hanging by a thread on to some type of notion that Trump might actually lose.

Would the F150 be as great as it is now under a different president?

It really depends on which F150 you are talking about. Is it an EcoBoost Max Tow? is it just some work truck? Details matter.

I take issue with the "just" in there. Work trucks are the backbone of our economy. Quite the disrespect so early in the day.

Back on topic. I don't think that Clinton would have been as harsh on the heavy duties as most would think. Perhaps not until the second term has been secured anyway. Even then probably just a consolidation. Do we really need a King Ranch™ trim? Biden's not green either, although Harris is more pushy on that topic. Maybe we see an uptick in Raptor sales if Biden wins in conjunction with gun sales. Either way it's bye bye to the 5.0 V8 and the 3.0 CrappyDiesel.

My guess is that instead of dropping a bomb on the dems right before the election(ie Clinton fbi tapes), Trump is going to come out saying they have a vaccine, and that it wouldn't have been possible without him at the helm.

Interesting twist, Kori Schake, an expert on civilian-military relations at the American Enterprise Institute, told CNN that the way the Constitution is written means that Trump would cease being commander in chief on Inauguration Day, even if no winner is formally declared in the election.

At that point in time, the military would have a new commander in chief, the speaker of the House of Representatives, regardless of the whether or not Trump remains physically located in the White House.

And the current speaker of the House of the Representatives is a Democrat, Nancy Pelosi.

From the story at this link, http://lite.cnn.com/en/article/h_fe6...d2f615ca26102a - this all has to do with what powers Trump has to use the military to push his agenda with respect to the upcoming election.

That only works if everyone currently in power obeys the law.

you guys think Trump is going to try to use the military to stay in power? lol

I don't think anything about this because I really don't have a fucking clue what the man will do as do most of us.

Real question - the big military corporate, and no doubt some of the top generals - dont like trump (says hes against endless wars, inflated contracts, etc.).

Does he have enough support from the actual troops to make it work if he decided to stick around?

I think any Republican candidate has the armed services' vote compared to a Democrat in their system. They may be a long way from liking him, but he's leaps and bounds ahead of a Democrat in their eyes.

[revelations]

Interesting article that just showed up on my google news feed:

Traitors tied to the Military Industrial Complex, and other NATO-phile unipolarist ideologues among the military are undoubtedly itching for action, and unless extraordinarily creative and speedy maneuvers can be accomplished by Trump and his trusted allies (who number few and far between) in tandem with his potential allies among the Multipolar Alliance, then all hope for the republic, and global war avoidance more broadly may be lost.

I love that the route appears to go just outside of the BC border. I hope it gets built, it's not a pipeline so, maybe?
