What’s the worst that could happen?
Washington Post ^ | By Rosa Brooks SEPTEMBER 3, 2020

Posted on 09/04/2020 10:16:37 PM PDT by 11th_VA

We wanted to know: What’s the worst thing that could happen to our country during the presidential election? President Trump has broken countless norms and ignored countless laws during his time in office, and while my colleagues and I at the Transition Integrity Project didn’t want to lie awake at night contemplating the ways the American experiment could fail, we realized that identifying the most serious risks to our democracy might be the best way to avert a November disaster. So we built a series of war games, sought out some of the most accomplished Republicans, Democrats, civil servants, media experts, pollsters and strategists around, and asked them to imagine what they’d do in a range of election and transition scenarios...

Picture This:

Trump refuses to concede, alleging on Twitter that “MILLIONS of illegal ALIENS and DEAD PEOPLE” have voted in large numbers and that the uncounted ballots are all “FAKE VOTES!!!” ...

For obvious reasons, we couldn’t ask Trump or Biden — or their campaign aides — to play themselves in these exercises, so we did the next best thing: We recruited participants with similar backgrounds. On the GOP side, our “players” included former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, conservative commentator Bill Kristol and former Kentucky secretary of state Trey Grayson...

(ROFLMAO ...)

Without the Billionaire Globslists pouring cash into these propaganda outlets they would have turned belly up long ago.

Real people don’t buy this crap.

Millions of children in CA and across the United States are not in school this fall, and are not learning. No sports, no music, no drama, no friends.

They are isolated in their lonely dark rooms in front of a screen. Even 5-6 year olds, crying and resistant.

And it appears indefinite.

"and ignored countless laws"

I mean, what's the point of naming any of them specifically?

So far, this guy on Twitter seems to be the whistleblower he claims to be. His following posts are dated July 31 and I think he answers the rhetorical question, "What's the worst thing that could happen? [Note: Scott Adams tweeted about this recently so it's known, and surely President Trump and his adminstration are prepared]

I'm hearing some disturbing things now. The Dems/DS intend to "Take" the election. They know they can't win, they know the vast public opinion is against them. So they intend to just take it, claim they won.

They do not have access like they did when Obama was in power. Their control over the fraudulent voting mechanisms, satellites, rigged voting machines, mail in voting, etc. Is Much less than in 2016/18. Pres.Trump is doing a great job at cutting off their schemes

So they intend to just "take the election". On election Day and night if their comrades in the mainstream media are going to report that they won. They are just going to flat-out report incorrect numbers to solidify in everyone's mind that the Dems won.

They will use every means of illegal voting scams to back this up. They intend to intimidate and destroy Republican votes anywhere they possibly can. They want to rush their "newly elected" people into office with very fast local swearing in ceremonies. Just like Obama's BS

"office of the president elect" stunt. They will officially Not acknowledge any results that doesn't benefit them and challenge anything else they can
 
John
@Johnheretohelp
 
And they will support and encourage riding [rnote: rioting] as a means to enforce there newly elected officials. They also intend to declare the presidential election for themselves, with the MSM backing it up on every channel 24/7. And they will lead a massive march,protest,riot
 
John
@Johnheretohelp
 
To the White House to remove President Trump. If he would not be removed they intend to have their president address the nation from Congress. And their president will run the country from Congress.
 
John
@Johnheretohelp
 
The MSM will not allow President Trump any air time and will block everything possible from being communicated from the rightful president.
 
John
@Johnheretohelp
 
This is bad. The riots, the taking over of police stations, shutting down and ceiling off federal buildings, this is their practice run for what happens the day after the election.
 
John
@Johnheretohelp
 
The riots have quieted down right now but that is by design. Untold millions are flowing into these groups and they are stockpiling right now. Round two is coming, bigger, more violent, more focused, and able to hold out for months.
 
John
@Johnheretohelp
 
They are being directed and supported by hostile foreign governments and leftover Deep State players within our own government.
 
John
@Johnheretohelp
 
They do not care if the economy is crashed, if people are out of work, they welcome the violence. They want the violence, that is part of their plan. If there is a great deal of violence their new president or ask foreign Govs to help establish order.

I have also heard but they will not declare a vice presidential running mate for Biden, at least not officially, because if things go their way and they have him as their phony president Nancy Pelosi will be announced after the election as the vice president
 
John 
@Johnheretohelp·

They cannot win, they do not care about any of us or the country, they have shown how they welcomed, promote and celebrate violence against us. they know that prosecution's are about to start and after another four years of President Trump's successes
 
John 
@Johnheretohelp·

They will be in prison and their party destroyed forever. They are fighting for their survival and the law does not apply to them.

@Johnheretohelp·

I've gotten this from several sources now. Supplies online MRE, survival food, are being bought out, so they can last for months. It is extremely well-financed well-planned and directed by hostile foreign and internal actors.

What we had hoped and prayed Mightily would never happen, could be just a few weeks away.

Sure, if you don't know what laws he's talking about, you must be stupid.

the antifa that i keep seeing on youtube do not seem to be in the habit of taking the advice to be peaceful at all seriously. they don’t have enough guns and they are concentrated in non-farming areas separated from each other. the only way they could prevail over a fraudulent election is imho by a military coup. so perhaps the question boils down to which side the military would choose in such a situation, trump or biden? i don’t know the answer but i would hope it is trump since if it is biden it would be military versus most of the rest of the country. again, however, i wonder if the military would be outgunned by civilian militia. and with all due respect to the air force and navy, one needs boots on the ground to hold territory.

Looks like a list of suspects who inadvertently offered their names up for further investigation/scrutiny.

Rosa Brooks is a seditious POS whose husband is a retired Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel, and an 0bama @sslicker.

This POS is making a REAL threat.

President Trump has broken countless norms and ignored countless laws during his time in office…

Why couldn’t the RATs find any of these during their phony impeachment process? Not a single one.
