Post-election 2020: Two studies say all hell to break loose

Two recent reports, when combined, paint a dark pathway for America in the coming weeks, a nation set on fire by multiple contentious court battles and widespread daily protests.

The 79 Days Report, by the Claremont Institute and the Texas Policy Foundation, illuminates possible election legal battles on the horizon and how they might play out in the courts. The bottom line? The litigation will be time consuming and combative. There’s no fast forward button to speed up the process. It concludes:

On election night, the winner will not be known “due to millions of uncounted mail-in ballots in 6 battleground states.” Given there’s no clear victor, “intense court fights” can be expected that could result “in a struggle right up to the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress. Uncertainty could extend even beyond this as decisions for both the presidency and vice presidency are battled out in Congress and before the U.S. Supreme Court.” The second report, Hold the Line: A Guide to Defending Democracy, is a how-to manual for organizing massive protests, produced by a group of hard-left “researchers, organizers, and activists.” The report encourages people to early assemble into clusters, to identify the “power holders” they want to “influence,” and then make plans on how to achieve their goals.

The report calls for “large-scale protests,” if the Trump Administration and its allies prevent all votes from being counted, allows ballots to be tossed out, or fails to “remedy irregularities” in the voting.

All the Left does is threaten, loot, and riot.

We are not the Weimar Republic.

They will not tear us apart.

Their treason is being revealed.

The Dem leadership is desperate, and has been given orders by China to win at all cost. And if successful follow China's dectates

If Trump wins, they riot, cause chaos, and demand socialism.

If Biden wins, they proclaim socialism as the rule.

If I remember correctly, the Federal election is Congress

Yes, Article I explicitly grants Congress the authority to regulate elections to the House and certain aspects of the appointment of Senators.

The Founders CAREFULLY excluded all three branches of the Federal government from the appointment of Electors, leaving it to a narrowly defined exercise of validating and then counting the results.

I wonder why they did that?

Hi.

If you have sworn an oath to the U.S. Constitution, then you have no choice but to defend said document.

Is there a better way to die, than in defense of your country?

Well, there is one caveat. My brother was 1st Cav, but he died in his sleep at a ripe old age of 75.

this is not at all implausible.
this coup needs to be stopped

This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

Some nut has already compiled a database of Trump donors with names and addresses from FEC data. I can only assume I’m on it, since I’m over $200.

[Blood of Tyrants]

That is the very definition of terrorism.
