Pelosi Warns What Will Happen If Trump Narrowly Wins in 2020

Moderate Right said:
Of course. That's because it was Obama's deep state DOJ with Trump as president.

So you acknowledge then that there was a separation between the WH and the DOJ. Thank you.

Do you want to make those bets or are you too insecure about the strength of your position?

I don't know what happened between you and Calamity, but I'm not Calamity. Are you confused because both of our user names begin with "C?" I run into conservatives who welch on their bets all the time. Fletch surprised me by being an honorable person when it came to paying up after losing a bet. Are you not as honorable as Fletch?

I'm not going to make a bet on something we won't know the answer to until 2025.

Redactions are minimal and anyone who bothers to read it knows what it says. Enough there that anyone not the president would have been indicted many times over. BTW, report is online for anyone to read.

But but but Democrats say they haven't read it because it was redacted. They keep on saying they want to read the report. They have even subpoenaed Barr to provide the report so they can read it.
 
Cardinal said:
Yes, but one side doesn't deligitimize multiple democratic norms and institutions in order to combat that threat to power. Trump has already done that with every threat to his power. He will do that with his election opponent as well. Whoever wins the Democratic Primary will find themselves under investigation by the DOJ.

really?

you serious think this Russia special counsel probe was legit and not some phony campaign trick to combat Trumps election? really?

No democrat had read the report made available - at democrat insistence, I should add - that was specifically about 99% unredacted, at the time Barr was testifying before the Senate. A day or two afterward, I understand a single democrat finally decided it might be a good idea to take a look.

I know nothing about Barr's ass and tongues.

How was that sourced? Or was it?

What is a multiple democratic norm and institution?

Another baseless prediction. Maybe meetings of DOJ heads and candidates on back lots of airports? Unfounded claims of foreign collusion? That sort of things?

If you didn't read it, you were as prepared as Senate democrats to conduct hearings on it. So take heart. And I understand that lizard breath is a term of endearment on the left.

When the left have nothing, out comes the name calling.

Wow. You've really turned into a hermit since Nov 2016. I don't blame you though. It was pretty humiliating.

Yeah, been keeping company with folks with no stability problems. You were going to substantiate your ridiculous claims?
 
Cardinal said:
Yes, but campaigning is how they deal with those threats, and when they lose elections then that's the end of that. That's not how trump rolls.

You're making an attempt at humor, correct?

It was reported by the various media that covered Barr's appearance before the Senate. I can't say whether I watched it on Fox, ABC, or what outlet, but you can Google it for yourself, if you're interested. I suggest you do that, since you've already questioned my veracity.

There was no separation between the WH and the DOJ during the Obama years. Should we have put Republicans in charge of the DOJ under Obama? I mean we had Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, Obama's team. Now if you want to make it a rule that the DOJ should be staffed by those of the opposite party we can have a debate about that. Certainly didn't have that under Obama.

Yeah, not a cult at all. Perfectly normal Americans.

Can you show where it was not legitimate? From a legitimate source? Fish or cut bait, my friend.

Ummmmmmmmm, well Nadler is subpoenaing Barr to release the Mueller report isn't he? We'll start with him. Why does Nadler need the Mueller report if he's already read it?

Well, if you had been keeping up you would know that he wants access to the underlying data. BTW, there used to be moderate republicans and moderate democrats in congress. Where did they all go? And what happened to the Republican party? They used to be dedicated public servants, imbued with integrity. Where did they all go?

Like MR, I'm not much interested in making bets out to 2024.

If I was afraid of my position, i wouldn't be spreading it around on internet websites.

Then you agree that my prediction is likely correct. You can pretend to deny that, but your fear of agreeing to a bet on that point speaks for itself.

i don't agree to anything you say.

As for bets. I once again affirmed yesterday that I can't predict outcomes 2 minutes in advance.

The weakness of your conviction speaks for itself.
 
Bill Maher had been making this point pretty much since Trump was elected and I waved it off for a long time for a few reasons, but the longer this goes on, the more I think there might be something to it. That being said, even if Trump "refuses to leave" or something, the new President can still be sworn in and Trump can be forcefully removed and escorted to the gallows for all I care.

The worrying part is what Trump will do as it becomes more and more clear in the lead up to the election that he has no chance, if he starts acting out and the Republicans in the Senate don't start actually doing their job.
