A Washington Post op-ed published Thursday suggested Americans should prepare for war if the election result is anything but a landslide for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.The op-ed, titled “What’s the worst that could happen?” is written by Rosa Brooks, a law professor at Georgetown University. In it, Brooks notes that the Transition Integrity Project, which she co-founded, “built a series of war games,” gathered participants “and asked them to imagine what they’d do in a range of election and transition scenarios.” “A landslide for Joe Biden resulted in a relatively orderly transfer of power. Every other scenario we looked at

The one scenario they didnt game out was a decisive Trump win.
Curiously, in every case, Trump and his supporters went violent out of the gates, while team Biden pleaded for calm. The exact opposite of what would happen.

I love the fact that the republicans used are all serious never Trumpers what a load of 5hit! Looking at our current situation the violence is caused by the left, no matter how they try to spin it it is not Trump causing the rioting it is the left.

FTA … "Team Biden repeatedly called for peaceful protests, while Team Trump encouraged provocateurs to incite violence..."
Seriously? … could they be any less self aware? Their twisted media is leading them into another serious disappointment.

Poster 3, with as much as they plan to cheat, they expect all precincts in the USA to exceed 100% participation.
And even then, they're not completely sure they have the votes. Their printers of new mail in ballots may not have enough ink or paper to reverse Trump's margin... or the Republicans in the Senate... or protect the Democrat House.
They ARE covering all bases that matter to them.

People on the right are getting sick and tired of being blamed for the violence on the left. We all know who goes off when they do not get their way. We know where the violence is coming from and where it will, doubtless come when the President is re-elected. The old bag has already called for Biden to never concede. What kind of evil resides in the heart of this witch who would interfere in the peaceful transition of power? It has been a hallmark of our governing process from its inception.
The democrats are playing with fire if they believe that Americans will stand for the nullification of our votes by massive fraud on their part. This is why it is imperative that we go to the polls. My concern is that there has not been enough done to make sure the election is safe and secure. Why this issue was not hashed out after the 2018 mid-term election is beyond me. Clearly, there was massive fraud in some states. Now we are faced with the same scenario nationwide. The slippery slope stated years ago when we allowed voter registration at the DMV, same day voting, mail-in voting which is not Absentee Voting, vote harvesting, etc. Look what what has come of all of this. We expect massive voter fraud. Once again, our elected officials have let us down. They have not protected the most important right we have as citizens, a secure, safe, and fair election. Shame on them. Democrats never let an opportunity to cheat and steal get away from them. Now they have so corrupted our elections that many Americans fear our votes will mean nothing. The best hope we have is that a massive number of voters go to the polls in numbers that cannot be questioned. We cannot allow the democrats to steal this election. It is the most important one in our history. It will determine if we will continue as a Constitutional Republic or fall into the nightmare of socialism. Go vote as if your life depended on it, because it does. God help us to defeat the monsters who would destroy our birthright.

This woman inhabits a planet that the rest of us aren’t familiar with. One where ‘experts’ are readily available to feed her fantasies. Back on Earth we watch night after night as Leftists, Marxists, and domestic terrorists destroy everything in sight. In her world Trump supporters are the dangerous ones. This is what happens when your brain has been shrink wrapped by academia and you become incapable of reasoned thought.

Don't be surprised by anything the Democrat propaganda machine cranks out, no matter how incorrect, absurd, or outrageous. Think of CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and most newspapers as Pravda-- or, more accurately, Baghdad Bob. The good news is that except for a few out of touch lofos, everybody knows it.
"Prepare for war if Biden doesn't win," is fear mongering, and there will be much more of it leading up to November. The Democrats, through their propagandists, will try to frighten you away from the polls. This will be one of their main tactics, and the riots are just one way of instilling fear. Antifa and BLM at the polling places themselves will be the ramped up version of it. Be ready for that, and be brave. Nothing less than America herself is at stake.

This is what the "Transition Integrity (sic) Project" is, from Wikipedia: "Initially convened by Rosa Brooks, a law professor at Georgetown and former Pentagon senior official, and Nils Gilman, a former vice chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley and historian at the Berggruen Institute, members of the Transition Integrity Project include: Michael Steele, a former chair of the Republican National Committee; John Podesta, former White House Chief of Staff to former President of the United States Bill Clinton; former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, former Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson, former Democratic National Committee Acting Chair Donna Brazile, and journalists William Kristol, Edward Luce, Max Boot and David Frum, as well as approximately seventy other individuals.[3][5][6]." So much for "integrity" on the part of Rosa. I wonder what she teaches her students at Georgetown??

Welcome to Guatemala. The democrats have turned us into a 3rd world country, have set us back 100 hears in technology and 200 years in race relations. Democrats want us to vote like a banana republic. No secure balloting, no secure polling places, just mail in fraud. This is how Castro, Hugo Chavez, Saadam Hussein and the rest of the dictators got into office. Got it..

The government is what the founders wanted to protect us from, when they issued the bill of rights.
The liberals will never get our guns away from us, after what we have seen from our fellow citizens in 2020.
Even the gun control advocates want to have protection for their home and family.
200 years of peaceful elections means nothing to these idiots who hate their country.

The article doesn't mention that the chief board member of the TIP is the former legal council for George Soros' Open Society Foundation and that many others on the board and at the Berggruen Institute are members of the CCP. This is a continuation of the decades long effort by Soros to get state AGs elected so that they can contest the election count in the court and make sure that Biden wins regardless of what happens on election night.
The announcement by Zuckerberg at Facebook that they will block any information on news agencies that call the election on November 3 is also part of this. They have similar agreement with Lachlan Murdoch to prevent any of the Fox anchors from calling the election unless it is a Biden landslide.
They are counting on the hapless Republicans to not be prepared and to not have competent and aggressive election officials defending the integrity of the vote in key swing states to pull off this coup d'état.

This inability to accept defeat comes from years of schooling where even the loser gets a participation prize. Now the left expects to win every time and they get ugly (Uglier?) when they don't get their way. That the WAPO would even publish this tells you a lot about the state of affairs on the left.

I suspect that if Trump wins and rioting increases/breaks out, he will not hesitate this time to call in the military (ala Little Rock in the fifties and Los Angeles in the nineties). These privileged little snowflakes may be in for something they didn't bargain for. It just might be the only way to convince these misguided tools that rioting isn't worth it.

Its finally clear why the Atlantic published the shameless hit piece on Trump that he disrespected veterans of WWII when he visited the gravesites in Europe. It ties into the letter that was sent by the two colonels to the Joint Chiefs that was published in the Military Times. They were arguing that Trump should be removed by the military if he doesn't leave the WH on his own. This was shot down by Gen. Mark Milley but the strategy of the article is now clear. They are trying to poison the rank military people and prepare them to follow (unconstitutional) orders to remove Trump by force. As AG Barr said to Wolf Blitzer, "These people are playing with fire".

Listen up all WaPo pagans:
"Many are the plans in a persons heart, but it is the LORD'S purpose that prevails".
Proverbs 19:21
His purpose prevailed in 2016, didn't it? Is Hillary in the Oval Office?
God is in everything and is in control of EVERYTHING!! WaPo's god satan still reports to our Lord and is only allowed a very limited amount of authority.
The Lord has a purpose for allowing all of this insanity and chaos to continue. I know when that purpose is fulfilled it will stop.
WaPo and all on the left should be aware that God Always Wins!!!! NOTHING they can try will prevent that from happening.
Threaten us all you want, WaPo. You don't frighten us.
Even with that being said pray hard and often for our country and the President. Pray against the plans of the left especially against voter fraud. Pray that patriots win.

The notion that sure Trump might win on Election night, but that he really didn't win because the mail in ballots weren't counted yet really irks me. They want fraud so badly they can taste it or barely conceal their glee. We need to get out and vote in such numbers that Trump smashes both the popular and the EC votes If we win big, they can't cheat, at least not credibly.

We have no choice but a mail-in ballot. We personally drive them to the polling precinct and put them in the "big box" ourselves on election day.
I'm confident the Trump campaign is fully aware of Dim fraud tactics and have counter measures in place. President Trump is telling his supporters to track their mail-in ballots and if they are not coded as counted, to vote in person. Whichever vote is tabulated first will nullify the "extra" vote. The enemedia is having a meltdown, "Voting twice is a crime! Why is the President telling his supporters to vote twice!" It was the theme of yesterday's "press" briefing and Kayleigh took the kindergartners to task. I think this is just one tactic Trump has planned to upset the election battlefield. PDT is not the type of man to give the enemy any inkling of his strategies and tactics, therefore there have been no public announcements about the voting process until now.
The right-wing of the Uniparty has as much influence in the mechanics of this year's election as they did on the RNC convention. The Grand Old Party has been "fundamentally transformed" and belongs to patriotic citizens committed to restoring America's greatness. God is at work in the world and Donald J. Trump is His champion. First and foremost we must put on the Armor of God and pray unceasingly for our country and our president. I remind my fellow Catholics that our Holy Mother is America's patron saint under her title of the Immaculate Conception. Next month, on October 7th, we celebrate Our Lady of the Rosary and the Christian victory against Islam at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 when Catholics across Europe stormed heaven with daily rosaries. May the angels think there's an earthquake from the sound of rattling beads!

I hope and pray that Trump wins in a landslide. I think that's now the most likely scenario. If he does, the left will explode in anger and riots will occur but mostly in the blue cities. They will be severe and even those cities will have to respond with lethal force until enough rioters are killed to discourage the rest.

#36- Voting live is preferable; however, for people coping with health issues who cannot risk or endure standing in long lines—including long lines for early voting—an Absentee Ballot is a welcome option. For those voting via Absentee Ballot and able to drive, personal delivery to the local Board of Elections is recommended; for those who cannot drive, calling the local Board of Elections to ask about that state’s regulations for delivery by a representative of the Absentee Ballot voter is another option. Memory is hazy, but think in one particular Midwest state there is a form to be completed by the Absentee Ballot voter authorizing another individual to hand-deliver their ballot to the local Board of Elections.

In college I took an elective course, "Latin American Revolutionaries." With few exceptions, the dictatorships gained power by what was called an "auto golpe" or "self stroke." They gained power via election, usually with a great deal of fraud, and then when in office simply disregarded their countries constitution to overthrow the government they are supposed to be.
Democrat (Progressive) administrations - along with their Republican (RINO) fellow travelers have been doing much the same by rationalizing unconstitutional acts by willful misconstruction of the "commerce clause" and the various "auras and penumbras" of non-existent intent in or "between the lines" of the actual constitution. Arguing for their "living breathing constitution" is a direct violation of an oath of office to support and defend the Constitution.
A coup de état can be - and the one under way now is - an inside job.
Deep State traitors in the Russia Hoax conspiracy and it's attempted cover up are just as guilty of sedition, I would argue treaso,n as the thugs of the BLM's Marxist leadership or the corporate executives who knowingly contributed millions to fund their rioting and mayhem.

Anytime the Democrats blame President Trump for anything, like loathing the troops, you can bet that such a label actually belongs to them. I would never vote for a liberal Democrat due to my experiences during the Vietnam War. First the Democrats voted to send the US military to fight in Vietnam then when things got rough with American troops on the battlefield in Vietnam, the Democrats did an about face and essentially abandoned the war.
Before the invasion of Iraq took place Joseph Biden and other Democrats voted for that war, but once American troops were on the battlefield and the situation got rough, Biden and the Democrats did another about face and started opposing that war.
Biden and other DC “UniParty” politicians do not represent the troops, they represent the global investor class that gives those politicians as much money as they can suck out of that investor class for themselves, their families, and their campaigns. If you were to look closely at the Biden family it is almost certain that Biden family and other “UniParty” politician’s family members, along with the families of other “UniParty” politicians have received a lot of money through US Government contracts and foreign aid relating to Afghanistan, Iraq, and other countries. As long as the endless Middle East Wars go on with American involvement, the US Government contracts will continue and the cash cow will continue to exist for the global investor class, “UniParty” politicians, and their family members. That’s a big reason why the “UniParty” politicians and the globalist investor class hate Trump, in that Trump opposes American involvement in the endless Middle East Wars, and intends to bring American involvement in those conflicts to an end. Once American involvement ends, so will the big US Government contracts. The “UniParty” politicians and their global investor class do not want that. Got it!
