The Very Real Scenario Where Trump Loses
and Takes Power Anyway
Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/20/2024 7:33:37 PM
Four years ago, a sitting president — rejected by American voters — attempted to seize a second term anyway, plunging the nation into confusion, conflict and, in its last gasp, violence. Now, Donald Trump’s political comeback has revived a sense of dread among the officials and institutions who stood in his way last time: Could it happen again? Dozens of interviews with people deeply familiar or involved with the election process point to a clear consensus: Not only could Trump make a second attempt at overturning an election he loses, he and his allies are already laying the groundwork. “The threat remains,”

President Trump called on a crowd of supporters to "forgive" President Biden after he compared the former president's supporters to garbage.
"Wow. That's terrible," Trump said, invoking Hillary Clinton’s infamous "deplorable" remarks in the weeks before the 2016 election. "And then she said irredeemable. That didn't work out."
The Republican nominee called on his supporters to forgive him during a packed rally at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. "Garbage, I think, is worse," he said. "But he doesn't know. You have to please forgive him."

Joe Biden might just have formally ended Kamala Harris' campaign on Tuesday night.
The Democrats were trying to go all in attacking the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, demonizing it as a "Nazi rally" and criticizing what a comedian said there about Puerto Rico. But then Biden blew all that away in his criticism by calling Trump supporters "garbage," as we reported earlier.
Politico then tried to spin what he actually said but was caught because video was released showing what he actually said.
Kamala Harris, draped in a dark pantsuit with a white silk blouse, made her closing argument to the American people as her campaign reaches its final days. Her so-called "Turn the Page" speech was immediately overshadowed by her boss, President Joe Biden. As my colleague Sister Toldjah covered, Biden undercut his VP with this brain-dead commentary. So much for Harris owning the news cycle. Between Trump and Biden, Harris will be lucky if they remember she's running. Seriously, there are political folks who have said that Joe Biden is not doing this to Harris deliberately. I have serious doubts that this is the case. While this article is supposed
Biden: Trump Supporters are Garbage

You could tell that Democrats were feeling desperate by the way they latched onto a joke by a comedian at Trump's Madison Square Garden event. It was a combined effort by the entire national media, the Democratic Party and even the Lincoln Project which started running an ad based on comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about Puerto Rico. Kamala HQ ran a Tim Walz reaction video. I seriously can't count how many articles the NY Times has published about this, but it's at least 15. NBC News has published at least nine or ten. It's about the same at the Washington Post. Suffice it to say the media has acted
President Biden raged against “Kill Tony” podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” and suggested that was a good description for supporters of former President Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said during a campaign call at the White House Tuesday first reported by NBC. “Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.”
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s unAmerican.”
Vice President Kamala Harris pivoted to a message of unity in her closing argument to the nation on Tuesday night, after having spent the last weeks of her campaign insisting that her opponent is a fascist whose election poses an existential threat to the future of the nation.
Addressing a crowd of supporters from the Ellipse in downtown Washington, D.C. — the same spot where Trump, on January 6, 2021, infamously urged his followers to march on the Capitol — Harris cited the Capitol riot as the primary example of her opponent’s unfitness for office. “Look, we know who Donald Trump is.
The Left Is Now a Joke

The Democrats have coalesced around a closing message, and it's not just that Donald Trump and half the country are Nazis itching to round up women and force them to bear blond children as their husbands, boyfriends, and boyfriend's boyfriend are carted off to the gas chambers; they have another message they want you to hear: Trump's supporters make unfunny jokes.
That's right. A so-so joke is going to put Kamala Harris over the top. The Democrats and the left went INSANE over this joke, and are using it as a wedge issue, claiming it proves what we already know: Trump is Hitler.

after Host Rejects Kamala Interview over
Campaign Demands 10 replies
J.D. Vance, former president Donald Trump’s running mate, will sit down for an interview with Joe Rogan on Wednesday after the podcast host rejected a potential interview with Vice President Kamala Harris due to her campaign’s demands.
The Harris campaign insisted that the podcaster travel to her and limit the interview to one hour. After the news of Harris’s terms broke, the Trump campaign jumped on the opportunity to get Vance on the podcast and agreed to have the episode taped at Rogan’s studio in Austin. A Vance spokesperson confirmed the episode will be taped on Wednesday. It will be released later this week.
Is this panic ... or is it overconfidence? Assuming it's real, of course, it might be either.
Until one looks at the polls, that is.
Over at our sister site Twitchy, Sam J flags some developing news out of North Carolina, where the presidential race appeared close a few weeks ago. Now it appears that Team Kamala has pulled advertising in the entire state over the last week of the election, presumably in connection with Harris' "closing argument" today on the National Mall: If true, it's a strange decision. The Harris campaign has raised more cash
I don't know what the vote counts will be, whether they will be mostly accurate, what shenanigans might take place or not, or whether the obvious preference cascade will carry Trump over the top next week.
But one thing I do know for certain is that if Donald Trump wins, the violence and rioting will be off the charts.
The mainstream media and the Democrats like to memory-hole the fact that rioting was significant after Trump's 2016 victory, and that was well before the "Trump is Hitler" narrative began being sold to us. In those days, he was a sexually harassing buffoon with a bit of Russian agent thrown in.
The House Judiciary Committee is examining a new whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by FBI Director James Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation.
An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee.
The whistleblower disclosure said that two female FBI undercover agents successfully infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honey pots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail.
Give the man some credit. He could have stayed on his yacht and just ignored the whiners in the Post newsroom who are still unhappy about his decision not to allow the paper to run a Kamala Harris endorsement. Instead, he took the bull by the horns and his employees know they are living in a dream world, one in which people trust the pronouncements of journalists.
We must be accurate, and we must be believed to be accurate. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but we are failing on the second requirement. Most people believe the media is biased. Anyone who doesn’t see this is paying scant attention to reality,

Michigan Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell surprised CNN’s Jake Tapper by insisting that former President Trump has shared plans to put people into internment camps if he’s re-elected. Dingell was asked by "The Lead" host on Monday how she felt about various Arab American Michigan voters protesting President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, while other Muslim leaders recently endorsed Trump at a rally.
Although she acknowledged the Muslim and Arab American community is not a monolithic voting bloc, Dingell argued they need to be told Trump would only be harmful to them.

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has reportedly told the newspaper that it needs to add more conservative columnists in a bid to make the paper more balanced.
The directive comes as the paper has lost more than hundreds of thousands of subscribers over the last several days after Bezos killed the Editorial Board’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
NPR reported that by midday on Monday, more than 200,000 people canceled their subscriptions, more than 8% of the company’s total number of subscribers.

Actress Teri Garr has died at age 79.
Garr died Tuesday morning in Los Angeles after a long battle with multiple sclerosis, her publicist, Heidi Schaeffer, confirmed to The Post.

GRAHAM "Dingo" Dinkelman was a renowned South African wildlife conservationist, snake handler and broadcaster. The popular YouTuber tragically passed away on October 28, 2024, following a month-long battle in hospital. His death was the result of complications from a venomous snake bite he sustained while working with reptiles, a field he was deeply passionate about.
Dubbed the 'South African Steve Irwin', Dingo had amassed more than 100,000 YouTube subscribers and over 600,000 Instagram followers at the time of his passing. Graham Dinkelman was born on June 15, 1980, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
From a young age he displayed a keen interest in wildlife, particularly reptiles.
He attended Maritzburg College,
Nothing says joy like an abortion, am I right? If you cringed reading that, take it up with Vice President Kamala Harris.
On Friday, just 11 days from the election, the Democratic presidential nominee campaigned in Houston in part to boost the Democrat running for the Senate. But she wasn't here only for a Senate race.By talking about abortion and basking in the fame of a celebrity or two, Harris tried to make an example of Texas while peddling a false narrative about joy and freedom to women.
I hope women see through this charade.

Is the Left Preparing for War If Trump Wins
15 replies
The propaganda campaign labeling Donald Trump as an aspiring dictator determined to use the military and national security apparatus against his political opponents is designed not to affect the upcoming election but rather to shape the post-election environment. It is the central piece of a narrative that, by characterizing Trump as a tyrant (indeed likening him to Hitler), establishes the conditions for violence — not just another attempt on Trump’s life, but political violence on a massive scale intended to destabilize the country.
As I write in my forthcoming book Disappearing the President, Democratic Party research and media reports show that many senior party officials and operatives are preparing for
There appears to be some election shenanigans happening on the Left Coast. In Oregon and Washington, someone dropped incendiary devices into ballot drop boxes. In Washington, hundreds of ballots were torched in the process; the ones in Portland were not damaged. The incidents are reportedly linked, which has led to a federal investigation. Authorities have a vehicle of interest connected to the ballot box fires captured on video, though the license plate was missing. (snip) This is something to watch since the Washington fires occurred in congressional races that are toss-ups.
So much for Iran's encirclement strategy in the Middle East, if these reports turn out to be accurate. Not only did Iran lose much of its advanced air defenses in the Israeli strike over the weekend, their forward proxy army may collapse soon as its terror troops head for Syria.
