The vice president told a crowd of roughly 20,000 in Dallas that former President Donald J. Trump had said he would terminate the Constitution in a second term.

“Consider: Donald Trump has openly vowed if re-elected he’ll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country and even, and even and I quote, ‘terminate’ the United States Constitution,” Ms. Harris said.

              Are you suggesting that an attempt to halt the certification of a presidential election endorsed and encouraged by the sitting president in the hopes of avoiding abdicating power is equivalent to a protest over police brutality?

                Legal warfare, I dont like it either, but the losers do this a lot. If jan 6th was an insurrection or whatever, what was May 29th?

                  Show me one time Democrats have attempted to stop the certification of an election by force. You can’t just pretend this happens as a standard matter of course.

                  what was May 29th?

                  May 29th was a riot and not an insurrection because it had nothing to do with trying to overturn an election. Are you getting it yet?

                    Its not the same mechanism, but Hilary with making false russian claim and Gore with all the counting shenanigans.

                    How were they going to overturn an election by occupying a building?

      Dismantling two and a half centuries of checks, balances, and protections isn’t half as easy as you may think.

      The jury is still out on whether he’s capable enough to do it if he wins again. This said, who the fuck wants to take that chance?

      Trump is also a selfish, amoral piece of shit that will pull us out of NATO and kowtow to Putin as he expands across Europe. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself, and the foreign countries and businesses he’s forever indebted to.

      The only “upside” to this guy is the delusions he’s selling his fanclub on. They’re all lies, but America is infested with enough idiots that we’re now having to deal with this situation.

      I’m so ashamed of this segment of my countrymen. What absolute rubes Trump voters are.

        If he is going to destroy the government why even bother with an election and just say he is permanent president? And of course you are flying the Ukraine flag.
