    Probably...it's what dignitaries would do with ex presidents...even ones they despised..he would have been wise to plea bargain his debts away and resign before the election letting Pence pardon him..giving him time to sell some properties and get on his feet again.

    Polls showed Hillary would win nationally and she did, by 4 million votes. She’s not President because she lost the electoral college due to a tiny percentage of voters in PA, Wisconsin, and MI. Biden is winning those states this time around.

    I aint believing anything until they announce Biden as the winner.

    Until then, I dont know what that cheating fuck in the white house is gonna try to do.

    I did my part. I voted.

    Not sure how that correlates to my post...and fwiw, Hillary didn't win by 4,000,000 vote, she won by 2,868,686 votes.

    Maybe I missed something...unless you're going by the "polls" (which are not always accurate) that say Biden is winning certain states...I hope you're right but again, we won't know for sure till "AFTER the election".

    Not popping any champagne corks yet but Biden has the easier path. Trump won the three upper midwest states, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, by less than a percentage. Biden leads in all three. If he wins them, he's in. If he wins Florida he only needs one of the three. If he wins Florida, Arizona, and North Carolina or Georgia, he's in. Since Biden can reliably count on three high population states, New York, California, Illinois, but Trump has to have Florida and even Texas is looking like toss up.

    Trump desperately wants someone to do what Comey did four years ago when, 11 days before election, he announced new investigation of Hillary Clinton's email while keeping silent about investigation into Trump's Russia ties. That pushed undecided voters to Trump, soft Clinton supporters just didn't vote at all.

    IMO, in 2016 too many were polarized by Clinton but luckily for us, Trump is not running against Clinton this time around. I think a lot of voters thought "I can't stand Hillary so I'll vote for Trump, because how bad could he be?"..

    ...well 4 years later we now know the answer to that question.

    Polls are facts. The data is a fact in that you can't deny the data nor the probability as a result.
    I only say this because see it as a done deal and the only thing remaining to be done is to make it more of a landslide so there's zero basis for overturning the election by the Supreme Court. I think we're gonna win by between 10 and 20 Million votes so let's make it a 15 Million vote margin of victory for Biden/Harris. Pour on the coal.
    Georgia is now a tossup state, hallelujah.

    I voted as soon as my ballot arrived in my mail box. Placed our ballots in the drop box that day.

    I seem to remember the right wing contingency around here being pretty loud during the Obama 8 years...I don't expect them to be quiet for a Biden presidency either...they're just not quiet in general....part of the quiet illusion is that banned members were usually pretty loud ...

    The difference is all their loud mouthed talk about how popular Trump is and how he's gonna win reelection vs the absolute wipe out they're facing. That includes idiotic boasting about how Republicans are gonna keep the Senate and take back the House. No, there's gonna be shame o'plenty after this election by the Trump cult.
