    Because they were attempting to over throw the election because they didn't accept the results.....why do you think terrorism can only be limited to the WH?

    Looks like the GOP is jumping on the bandwagon and might be ready to formally attempt to delay the election....

    Oh.... Wait........No they're not...

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/gop-senators-shoot-down-trump-165157025.html

    And then there's this dipstick

    SNIP
    Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., asked if the president has the right to delay an election, responded: "I'll get back to you."
    ENDSNIP

    Gore asked for a recount after he lost by 400 votes.

    comparing that to Trump saying the election should be delayed cuz he doesn't trust mail-in voting, is absurd and ignorant

    Why would they? The DC Metro police locked people up over 200....not really sure about Portland...that city seems to support the leftwing terrorist that have been rioting since 2016 when they couldn't accept the election.....the Feds have certainly got some recently though...when they went after a Federal Court house

    Yes he and again Clinton in 2016 would not accept the results of the election....they didn't trust it....Gore went so far as to attempt to block mail in ballots as well....https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-2000-11-21-0011210060-story.html

    also he lost by 537 not 400.

    It's amusing that Cry Baby Trump, who throws his pissy tantrumps at every instance of a return to normal having to be delayed due to his bungling the pandemic response, is so scared of the democratic will being expressed in timely fashion.

    “This is going to go away!”

    “It’s going to disappear!”

    "One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear!”

    “And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away!”

    “Looks like in April, you know in theory when it gets a little warmer,
    it miraculously goes away!”


    Cry Baby Donny is going to go away!

    So true, Ron.

    An completely misguided "False Equivalency" that is barely worth dignifying with a rebuttal.

    Yeah, Obama, Bush, Clinton and many presidents before all went public weeks before the election and suggested it be postponed for their own benefit.

    I remember it well.

    NOT!

    Don't try and put Trump with the rest of em because he's not like the rest of em.

    He's a scumbag dictator who hates the election that will block his totalitarian rule.

    And item number one on the shopping list of scumbag dictators is always the same; get rid of free elections!

    Know your history.

    No, you stated what your concerns are. I pointed out how they were utterly baseless, and the system was already prepared to deal with them. Not only with the concerns you brought up, but with potential problems you don't even know to be concerned about.

    I still assert your real concern has nothing to do with what you've posted so far.

    Yes, you answered some...but the questions still remain...how long will it take to put the Dems plan in place to do all mail in voting? or even expand it....we have less then 100 days til the election.....will the office be able to process alll this and get ballots out in time for them to be counted in 3 months.

    Obviously I have other concerns as well.

    And this article says the DOJ dropped every single charge against every single protester.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...s-against-all-inauguration-protesters-n889531

    The motion to dismiss charges by the U.S. attorney's office seemingly ends an 18-month saga that started with the Justice Department attempting to convict more than 190 people.

    More than 200 people were arrested after the protest, during which several store windows were broken and a parked limo set ablaze. Two group trials ended in defeats for the U.S. Attorney's Office, which was hindered by the fact that most protesters wore similar black clothing and covered their faces.

    The first trial ended with acquittals for all six defendants. After that defeat, the government dropped charges against 129 defendants, including Petrohilos, saying prosecutors would focus on the defendants against whom they had the strongest evidence.

    But a second trial for four people in May ended in acquittals on most charges and a hung jury on the rest.

    Lots of arrests and no convictions.

    No jail time.

    Which means no crimes were committed

    Sounds like they dropped some charges, lost a case, and contineud with the others where they had better cases.

    I figure it's only a matter of time before Trump suggests American-Idol style voting, online or over the phone, with the bottom person getting eliminated each week.

    Guess who's gone first? Sanjaya Trump

    Not at all.....arrest are a little more then mere accusations....which let's face it....is all the Dems have had against Flynn, Trump etc.

    with that said.....I wasn't the one that said what they did was treason...you are the one that claimed in your hypo if people didn't accept the election and rioted committed treason.
