So according to Trump advisors the plan is on election night if Trump is up by even 1 electoral point he'll declare victory and ask the Supreme Court to end the election and voting, regardless of the 270 threshold. So even if its Trump 7, Biden 6, Election over, Trump wins.
And I don't doubt for a second the Supreme Court would let him.

The GOP can just send in rioters to counting stations like in 2000. They already have precedent to stop the count
I think Biden will win, so I'm a little less worried. Trump won because of a perfect storm of the Comey emails, running against an unpopular candidate, nonvoters, and cheating.
Biden is MUCH more popular than Hilary, we're seeing record early voter turnout, and Trump's attempt at manufacturing a scandal in Hunter Biden failed miserably.

Hey, don't worry. Just use the actual facts.
'Pretty cool. Right?' Unfiltered moments from Trump's 18 interviews with Bob Woodward
Author and veteran journalist Bob Woodward conducted 18 interviews with President Donald Trump for his new book, "Rage." The wide-ranging conversations are a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes.

Trump Told Woodward that he knew it was Deadly Stuff in February 7th
He also said it was just going to go away.

And then he said that he always knew it was a Pandemic.
AP FACT CHECK: Trump says he always knew virus was pandemic
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is revising history as to how he described the dangers of the coronavirus as it swept across China and showed early signs in the U.S
apnews.com
So, "Oh Gee, Americans who weren't given the same information as the President of the United States who used his pull to downplay what he already knew to be a deadly pandemic got together in a show of support" isn't that much of a point as much as it was... of course they did if they didn't know how serious it was.
No average person or city worker will EVER be more informed than the President of The United States about a Pandemic. To equate their importance when one gets info from the CDC, and the other dictates what the CDC can say... I mean, there are no words for that.
It's like taking a picture of people who used to work in Asbestos factory in the 1900's and saying "Hey, if it was really so dangerous, why are they working there?"
For the record, I believe a lot of the blame falls on Trump. There were plenty of outstanding individuals who stepped up and risked the careers they fought their entire lives to get. And then once they were fired for daring to contradict the Word from Up High, there were Toadies who were ready to fall in line with whatever Lie the Administration was going with. They also deserve the blame.
CDC? You mean WHO, right? They were the ones who kept saying that there was no evidence of human-to-human spread. Were they Trump's puppets too?
And would you like me to quote Dr. Fauci saying that masks weren't recommended for the general public on March 8th?
Or was he just a puppet of the President too? Maybe he didn't get the same information as the President?
Or hey, how about this one when he says that he originally discouraged mask-wearing by the public because he didn't want to create a shortage (which would never happen, because, as he himself says, you could just put on any old cloth).
Perhaps Trump knew something that Fauci didn't, is that what you're saying? Or perhaps he was just a puppet and Trump was telling him what to say?
1) I don't doubt Republicans will cheat. I think the cheating will be worse by Democrats.... and the cheating will be much less likely to be reported. I think it is the only way bad touch Grandpa can win this thing. No one wants to vote for him.
2) We already have some curbs on Presidential power. Congress is hiding from their duties. They let Executive Orders go without a fight. They let bureaucrats do their jobs. And worst of all, they let POTUS get us into wars without a declaration. Limit POTUS power? Work on getting Congress to do its job.
You may very well think that, but you are obviously completely wrong. There are lots of people who don't like him, but see him as the lesser evil. We've known this forever.
Trump has been an unmitigated disaster, and many legitimate US voters have decided they'd prefer a mitigated disaster as PotUS.
Right. And when masks became recommended shortly after, Fauci changed his advice to meet the new evidence. Meanwhile president Trump, through word and deed, has continued to discourage mask usage to the current day. So when you said people change their tune in line with the evidence, some people conspicuously haven't.
We might also note that Trump has simply replaced a load of people who said what he didn't like. Who's Scott Atlas? A neuroradiologist with no specialist expertise in public health and infectious diseases, whose primary recommendation for heading up a coronavirus task force is that he says what the president likes hearing. As the CDC director was overheard to say, "everything he says is false", and according to Fauci, "I have real problems with that guy. He's a smart guy who's talking about things that I believe he doesn't have any real insight or knowledge or experience in. He keeps talking about things that when you dissect it out and parse it out, it doesn't make any sense."
And that's the sort of person Trump has chosen to get his scientific/medical information from, and then disseminate to the general population. I'm sympathetic to the fact politicians have to weigh the scientific and medical against other considerations such as the economy. But at the point they're simply disregarding science and medicine so they can carry out the economic and political policy they want whilst suppressing the bad sides - such as people dying - they deserve our utter contempt.
True. It'll probably get thrown out as well because it's too close to election date.
Supreme court will uphold this, especially if he declares on November 4th.
dude, why e-celebs
Pretty on point?
@3:35 Biden is likely to do things that are divisive.
Seriously? Trump has gone out of his way to be divisive. He supports only his Americans. Those who bend a knee. Trump ridicules whoever, fires whoever, lambasts whoever, chooses sides constantly when things come about instead of stating that Americans need to pull together.
Gorfias, this is biased stuff here. Trump kept his promises? Like Mexico was going to pay for the wall? They haven't. That it was going to be the strongest wall that was ever built, because believe him because he knows walls? It's already at risk of falling down. He was going to protect Medicare and Medicaid? He puts them up for budget slashes any time he can.
I won't say Trump didn't do anything. He gave Tax cuts, He got Judges, stuff like that. But other things he gave up, couldn't get done, or abandoned.

Donald Trump made voters a number of promises before they elected him. But has he kept his word?
www.bbc.com
But the Trade Deals? Yeah, he pulled out and penned a new one. That led to Tariffs and mom and pop store owners having to charge more for their stuff.
He didn't pull all troops. And his actions were even criticized by his own officials.
He did, indeed, cut regulations. Because businesses couldn't go under such weight. What were some of the things repealed?

Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule, Methane and Waste Prevention Rule, Temporary Suspension of EPA Enforcement, Nondiscrimination provisions in the Affordable Care Act, Clean Air Act: Emission Standards, Clean Power Plan, Fiduciary Rule, Dealer Markups Guidance (a rule that stopped Car Dealers for charging higher interest due to Race...), Net Neutrality, Arbitration Rule (which allowed class action lawsuits be levied to financial institutions to provide the opportunity for alternative legal recourse for harmed consumers against these financial companies), Title IX Guidances on Transgender Student Rights
Yeah, he kept his promises. To his donors. And bad things happened to average citizens, or ineffectual measures that break down under their own weight... literally. I mean, Jesus Christ, the Fiduciary Rule was repealed?! As someone who works in Insurance, he basically said it was ok that we can rip off old people. No he didn't basically. He said it. If the law is repealed, we aren't held liable if grandparents go bankrupt if we mishandle the money. America is thereby a little bit greater...
Your youtuber is just stating talking points that were fed to him. Points that if one did five minutes searching would show that even in his half-truth, the reality actually doesn't bode well. Bad Promises Kept aren't a good thing.
I'm impressed that people keep finding the time and effort to sit down, watch a video and then debunk it with links. Didn't click on that myself, cause I knew what it'd be like.
I dunno why'd even consider e-celebs relevant to politics at this point Like legal eagle, he did entertaining stuff but now he's some kind of source for the elections.
