President Biden said he is “not confident at all” that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025 if former President Donald Trump is defeated.
“He means what he says. We don’t take him seriously. He means it. All the stuff about 'If we lose, there’ll be a bloodbath, it’ll have been a stolen [election],'” Mr. Biden told CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa in his first sit-down interview since announcing he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination. The interview will air on “CBS News Sunday Morning” on Sunday, Aug. 11.
“Look what they’re trying to do now in the local election districts where people count the votes,” said Mr. Biden. Repeating a familiar maxim about elections and democracy, the president said, “You can’t love your country only when you win.”
Maybe we should have given harsher punishments to the people who tried doing that the first time around?
I don’t know, I think it’s pretty unreasonable to assume Trump will attempt another coup. What, does he have a coup for one special? /s
I’m glad Biden’s calling this shit out now, and hope they’ve got a plan when a few dozen Arizona counties refuse to certify the results.
One saving grace is this time, it ain’t the diaper in Chief calling the shots. Biden won’t hesitate to call the national guard if need be.
That being said, i think the violence is gonna happen at State capitals this time… I hope I’m wrong.
“Average American president attempts 0.004 coups per year” factoid actually just a statistical error. Average American president attempts 0 coups per year. Traitors Donal, who dyes face orange & attempts over 0.25 coups each year, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
Hell, i’m not confident there’d be a peaceful transfer of power if he wins
Chances are high it will not be peaceful for anyone on his stupid enemies list AFTER the transfer of power.
The transfer of power from Biden to Harris should be peaceful because Trump isn’t involved in it.
2021 wasn’t peaceful only because Trump still had power. If he has no power, you shut that shit down and it’s peaceful.
“I want a permit to protest the counting of votes!”
(Checks history) “Yeah, permit denied.”
I live in Baltimore. That shit doesn’t scare me. I’d like to see them try.
Trumpers who advertise as such on their vehicles and try starting shit have been known to leave with a couple extra “vent holes” on their vehicles.
I have been watching The Wire again so I feel like I also live in Baltimore (I live in Ireland)
We all know Trump won’t accept the results. He didn’t in 2020, and in 2016 he claimed it was still rigged against him even when he won.
It’s really weird when you think about it.
