A spokesman for the Joe Biden campaign has threatened to have President Trump escorted from the White House if he does not concede the election.
The comments come as reports suggest the President has made no indication that he will concede if the media declares Biden the winner.
Trump’s campaign has refused to back down as they pursue litigation in states in which they are disputing the validity of a number of ballots.
“I’m not thinking about concession speech or acceptance speech yet,” the President told reporters. “Hopefully we’ll be only doing one of those two. Winning is easy. Losing is never easy. Not for me, it’s not.”
Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates issued a response.
“As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election,” Bates said in a statement. “And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.”

Over a period of years, I spent time studying the history of the 2nd Amendment and the militia.
I dropped by law schools, bookstores, along the way of my various travels.
I was particularly disappointed, in 1984, at a bookstore across the street (to the north) of the White House. I thought, “Surely there will be material here, regarding the Bill of Rights - including the 2nd Amendment.” Nothing. Just a bunch of liberal law school wishful thinking that is designed to teach students how to mis-interpret the Constitution.
Around 1993, I dropped by the HQ of the National Rifle Association. They do have material about the history of the 2nd Amendment. But they were closed, at 4:30 PM. (But, I ordered a lot of material by phone.)
I kept looking. And what I eventually accumulated, was a lot of info about the history, going back several centuries in Europe and particularly, England.
The militia principles that we operate by, developed mostly in England, over centuries of conflicts and civil wars, there.
Let’s say there are three political entities, somewhere in England, at some point in time way back when. A, B, and C.
A and B get into a fight. C is out of it, but observing from a distance.
A orders A’s people to Arms (capital “A”). B orders B’s people to Arms.
A beats B. C, watching from afar, does not like the result.
A is a bit alarmed over the years that B (having recovered) and C have become closer together and formed a mutual defense pact.
B and C, together, manage to enforce rules limiting the types of Arms that A is permitted to use.
A becomes more alarmed and decides to surprise attack C, the bigger opponent.
Neither C nor B expected that; B, being the weaker of the two.
A prevails! Why?
Because A, having noticed how, during a previous conflict, some of the A “troops” did well, got off his horse and talked with his men.
A unit leader who had been killed early in battle, was replaced by a new leader *appointed by the men of the unit.*
That was a major event in western history. A military officer appointed by royalty, died, and was replaced by a new “officer” chosen by the survivors of the unit . . . and the unit kept on fighting, without consulting royalty (though they did hasten, after victory, to make known these steps taken).
A figured, very quickly, that his men should thereafter pick their own officers. There followed a more interesting period of training these picks, to get closer to a match with what A (royalty) expected in behavior and performance.
Finally, A had what he figured would work. And he attacked C (above).
B and C, were still demanding a lot, and would not consider their troops choosing officers. And, too many of C’s troops, were not led well, while from the outside, C’s troops appeared to be well Armed.
What A did, caught on. It had been for a while before A’s decision, something that had become a practice in the towns.
Royalty for a long time, chose the town Sheriff. But along came a smart royal, who decided to allow the townspeople to choose their Sheriff.
That was the notion that caught A’s attention.
Whom the people will pick vs. whom the “experts” pick.
Whatever their titles of the periods in which they lived, royalty, military, and law officials wrestled with each other and the people, over this matter:
Who is going to be in charge.
The fruit of it:
Townspeople picked their Sheriff.
Militia people picked their leadership (up to a certain extent), mostly based upon lessons learned previously, the hard way.
Self-determination, grew; and with the arrival of the printed Bible, more of that.
This concept grew, as it went westward to The New World, gaining distance from the immediacy of royalty. Further away, and faced with conflicts about which decisions had to be made much sooner than waiting for some reply from England via a sailing packet.
We have the right to exercise martial power in an emergency, when either:
a) help is distant, or
b) present leadership fails and/or fails to act properly; but
this means, we only may exercise martial power by doing it lawfully.
In old times, royalty authorized the militia to exercise martial power.
In The New World, that royal authorization was replaced by the uniting colonies’ established legislatures and town councils. (This was a lengthy and strenuous transition.)
The militia, in the United States of America, is not what the liberal media and several other people portray.
The militia is not a gun club, nor an association of sporting enthusiasts, nor militaria enthusiasts, nor “vigilantes.”
The militia principles here, are the same, at the national level, state level, and local levels (towns and counties).
The militia are not authorized to exercise martial power, unless one of the following authorizes martial power for benefit of the state, county/counties, and/or towns:
a) the governor of the state
b) the lieutenant governor of the state
c) the state legislature.
If the governor fails, or bows out, then the lieutenant governor can authorize the militia to exercise martial power.
At any time, the state legislature can override either or both such governors, and then the legislature (usually a committee) authorizes the militia to exercise martial power.
In the absence of all three of those, a county Sheriff in the state, can authorize the militia of the Sheriff’s county, to exercise martial power.
A county commission (elected) can override the Sheriff, and authorize the militia of their county, to exercise martial power.
The ultimate deciders of exercising martial power, are the people - thru either:
a) the aforementioned representative leaders, or
b) a vote by the people of the county, or a town, that is in need of its own militia.
All of the authority, is civilian, and the militia *MUST* adhere to that authority.
Exercise of martial power must be lawful.
This particular concern, was one of the reasons behind the way that the 2nd Amendment was written. It was among the major concerns.
The militia of a town, or of a county, or of a state, can muster on their own. They can train on their own. They can keep and bear Arms.
But, they cannot exercise martial power, except under civilian authority as outlined.
The militia in the USA, are *not* autonomous.
The militia, here, only works with the backing of a majority of the people who require their defense and protection. The people have to stand up and vote for it, and support their declaration, by backing the militia whom the people have voted to send in harm’s way.
About that last part, there? Geo. Washington would write letters every week, seeking the sustenance required by our revolutionary efforts.
“As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election,” Bates said in a statement. “And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.”
The AMERICAN PEOPLE decided Tuesday you worthless twit yet you and your cabal of miscreants could not accept the inevitable outcome of 4 more years of the TRUMPINATOR so ya’ll decided to totally corrupt the next to the last box left for a peaceful transition of power. Now you and your ilk will reap the whirlwind of your perfidy. Furthermore, the United States Government and WE THE PEOPLE are perfectly capable of escorting your traitorous commie azzes into prison cells in Gitmo where you may ponder the error of your ways for the numerous CRIMES AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
He will need corn pop to do the heavy lifting
The young rich man/lawyer had no family just wealth.
A working man with a pick-up and young kids is in somewhat of a different place and would be considered “an infidel” as per scripture for not providing for his own. That said some men like that might feel that he has to win a free safe world for his children and will fight as best as he can while trying to keep his family safe.
The Israelites would not allow a newly married man to fight for at least for a year until he had sired an offspring and could see to his family’s comportment while he went off to fight.
If not... I'm not wise enough to address the subject except to say that I do believe in the God we're taught about by Christianity, and I do believe in Biblical prophecy.
Anything else I could say is already obvious to people like yourself who are paying attention. (Well... I do particularly detest the media, I'll work that in...)
I'll still be paying attention, watching, and doing my best to take care of business and look out for my wife and a few others... I'm in my 60's now...
Physically, do you feel any different than you did in your 50s?
And I agree with all you said.
The SCOTUS is loathe to get involved with elections but in this case I think they will here the arguments.
plus Alito is still mad that they didn’t pay attention to the SCOTUS decision that observers could get closer :)
I've been told that I get around pretty good for a guy my age, although I do carry some extra weight now and feel the affects of age in a couple of places.
The best thing I've ever done for myself was to get away from the drinking and partying scene with fake friends, which happened back in my 20's.
This would end the GOP as we know it but how does that stop voter fraud?
They had a chance to hold onto power but when the GOPe sandbagged Trump, they committed political suicide. The republican party is dead to me. ~ MAGA Party Member
Seriously thinking of switching to Indy.
My local Rep organization is full bore MAGA types so I kinda feel bad about that.
I can’t guarantee that it won’t, and I’m pretty sure the democrats have honed the fraud skills to a fine point. But, one reason they get away with it is because of complicity of republicans. If you eliminate republicans and replace them with a party the fights it is not unreasonable to hope for a different outcome. I’m personally prepared for this conflict to go beyond the ballot box, but I would prefer a different solution.
DEMAND THAT BIDEN CONCEDES!
I would take a look at Constitutional Homeland Security- A Nation in Arms by Dr Edwin Vieira. Also, his 54 min presentation on YouTube is spot on.
We don’t have the culture or platforms for a civil war. Not in significant numbers, and the left knows it— they never would have done such a brazen act if they thought the American people would take up arms and demand justice.
Thanks for the ref.
