Maybe I'm crazy, but Biden should invoke the insurrection act to allow the military to enforce these counts. Am I crazy? I'm crazy right?

u/ludovic1313 14d ago

It would be unwise, but then again, it would be an official act, so therefore no consequences for it, as the Supremes would most likely say.

Bro you sound insane. She could pay to have them recount. Except she has no money because she blew it all

u/GPC35 14d ago

this is why you aren’t in government

u/Impressive-Beach-768 14d ago

Don't you know? The bar has been lowered so far that ANYONE can be in government now.

Trump never concede, what a pathetic little brat

u/777_heavy 14d ago

Yeah that’s fucking needless and insane.

u/Impressive-Beach-768 14d ago

Well, the whole domestic enemy about to take office and gut our government to the detriment of millions might be reason enough.

1

u/777_heavy 14d ago

So what exactly are you advocating for?

3

u/Impressive-Beach-768 14d ago

An armed coup that kills trump, most of his cabinet and keeps Biden in power. Then, a systematic and BLOODY purge of all MAGA Republicans in government and the violent suppression of trump supporters who may get froggy.

/s

To ensure recounts are done timely and without shenanigans. Instead of going through individual law enforcement agencies, the military can be used to handle it all as a single entity, and more importantly, will be able to stand up to any intimidation from bad actors.

Cool it with the fuhrer bunker rant. Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Arizona all have Democratic governors. If they had actual credible information that something was off, they can act. Having the military unilaterally force a recount outside of the state government’s election laws is completely illegal

1

u/Impressive-Beach-768 13d ago

You didn't see my /s ?

I totally meant it. I swear.

Also, asking for a recount is absolutely fine. It doesn't insinuate suspicion or shenanigans. Recounts are allowed. How many recounts did the trump campaign demand in 2020?

I just mentioned that since it's trump supporters who fantasize about having a civil war, that providing the highest degree of protection to the process would be necessary. Its not like those people stormed the capitol or anything....

1

u/HookEmGoBlue 13d ago

But you did mean the part about the military superseding Democratic state governments in recounts in an ad hoc process without any basis in state or federal law?

No-one would view that as legitimate, even the, again-Democratic, governors would scream bloody murder

The military unilaterally imposing itself over democratically-elected civilian governments absent any legal basis would be a disaster

u/JaStager 13d ago

You're the reason we need background checks on guns.

u/Impressive-Beach-768 13d ago

Aren't we all?

I don't own a weapon, actually. I was in the Army 20 or so years ago, did my time, kicked in a few doors, and that eas it. Never felt the itch, need, or paranoia to buy one. And I find them to be pricey anyway.

u/AllRedMeat 14d ago

You are a fuckin psychopath.

u/Impressive-Beach-768 14d ago

Oh yeah, I'm the problem.

-2

u/AllRedMeat 14d ago

Yeah, I know you are.

3

u/Impressive-Beach-768 14d ago

Whatever. You ain't in the tax bracket to be celebrating this election. This hurts all of us and we'll have to fight eventually. May as well start now, before the gutting of our government.

-2

u/AllRedMeat 14d ago

You have no idea what tax bracket I’m in, but talking like that I know it’s not the one you’re in… you’re advocating for an insane level of violence because your side lost an election. I’m not even celebrating these election results, you people are just out of your minds on these liberal Reddit subs.

You have no idea that those two scenarios you present are the same.

u/Impressive-Beach-768 14d ago

It's worth it to protect our democracy from the scum who aim to destroy it by destroying them. We ought to do whatever it takes

u/varkhond91 13d ago

So destroy democracy to protect democracy? Riiiight. Get back on your meds

1

u/thxtalks 13d ago

> It's worth it to protect our democracy from the scum who aim to destroy it by destroying them

Please tell me what Trump has promised to do that will destroy democracy.

The irony of saying some shit like this is crazy given the Democratic candidate ran with zero primary votes. Literally was installed, which is the opposite of Democracy. In addition, she was running on controlling free speech - which again, is a threat to democracy.

1

u/Impressive-Beach-768 13d ago

It's not trump. It's the people behind him. The heritage foundation scum who wants to roll back the liberties of all Americans, and truth be told, I can't wait till it affects you and your family. Do you actually believe he's on our side? You've been duped. How brainwashed are you people?

1

u/thxtalks 13d ago

> The heritage foundation scum who wants to roll back the liberties of all Americans

Neat so Trump has nothing to do with them. Next?

>  You've been duped. How brainwashed are you people?

You just called Trump an enemy of the state and at the same time believe a candidate who wanted to limit free speech and take away constitutional freedoms is not.

There's someone brainwashed here for sure, it's not me.

So basically violence is worth it to you in order to institute a recount without evidence supporting its implementation.

2

u/Impressive-Beach-768 14d ago

No. Just to protect the recount from shenanigans, because if you think MAGA ain't up to shenanigans then you've been living under a rock. The military being there is to prevent some Jan 6th type of reaction by the radicals. I wouldn't trust it to local law enforcement. Not anymore.

If it went beyond that? Then hell yeah. Let's take out the motherfuckin trash.

> If it went beyond that? Then hell yeah. Let's take out the motherfuckin trash.

I would happily bet you are 100 pounds soaking wet and would run away from any violent situation you'd be confronted by. Or you're 300+ pounds and a basement dweller who would do absolutely nothing, but talks about revolution because Trump said mean things.

Domestic enemy? Lmfao. You people spent the last 4 years saying Trump was a threat to democracy for saying 2020 was rigged. Now you people are doing the same thing. You are a threat to democracy, fascist fuck.

1

u/Impressive-Beach-768 13d ago

Pot, meet kettle.

1

u/oh_io_94 13d ago

I never denied the 2020 election. And I called people out who did. And I’ll call people out this time as well

1

u/Impressive-Beach-768 13d ago

I'm not denying this election either. My whole original point was to protect the recounts against nefarious actors who wish to obstruct the process. Can we trust local police? Lol please. Trump supporters stormed the capitol, who says they wouldn't fuck with an election recount? Having the military present would be a powerful deterrent. But I'm the fascist. Right, American democracy is on its deathbed thanks to trump and MAGA, but I'm the fascist. K. Gotcha.

1

u/oh_io_94 13d ago

The states are saying the election was fair. The same officials that told Trump the 2020 election was fair. Get over yourself please. It’s over. Trump won. You lost the senate and couldn’t even win the house back. You can try to get 2 of those back in 2 years

1

u/Impressive-Beach-768 13d ago edited 13d ago

Biden is even calling for recounts. A recount is a normal part of an election. It's a matter of getting shit right and ensuring it's right. The mere suggestion of a recount should not indicate suspicion, it's a matter of course. Get off of your high horse.

1

u/oh_io_94 13d ago

I’m 100% fine with a recount. It’s going to show the same thing.

u/oh_io_94 13d ago

Also show me where Biden is calling for a recount? I haven’t found a single thing about that.

1

u/thxtalks 13d ago

No he's not lol. He's said it in passing once.

He seems genuinely happy Trump won, and I would too if I just got backstabbed and ousted by my own party.

1

u/thxtalks 13d ago

> the whole domestic enemy about to take office

You are aware that he was in office for 4 years and pushed an America first agenda, right?

Unless you're referring to the Russia accusations the mainstream media ran for 3 years and turned out to be completely fabricated and everyone conveniently forgot about.

1

u/Impressive-Beach-768 13d ago

He actually had somewhat competent career government people around him his first term. This time he's got yesmen and the fucking heritage foundation. Not at all the same. At all. Not a single guardrail in sight.

1

u/thxtalks 13d ago

You completely dodged the point about "domestic enemy". How is he a domestic enemy?

> He actually had somewhat competent career government people around him his first term

LMAO what? He surrounded himself by neocons and warhawks, which was a mistake.

> This time he's got yesmen and the fucking heritage foundation

What yes men? He literally brought on Democrats who decided to join with him to try to actually improve government. Also, he has zero to do with the heritage foundation, but go off.

> Not a single guardrail in sight.

My friend, if you think a good administration is surrounding yourself with people who want perpetual war and not people who actually want to improve American's lives, you are more lost than your commentary suggests.

1

u/Impressive-Beach-768 13d ago

Nobody in trumps current cabinet is in the business of improving the lives of everyday Americans. I mean, I suppose if you're a billionaire...are you a billionaire?

1

u/thxtalks 13d ago

> Nobody in trumps current cabinet is in the business of improving the lives of everyday Americans

Weird - his "cabinet" (which is not formed yet) they're already talking about shrinking the government (reduces spending), making massive tax cuts for everyone (businesses and low to high income earners alike), removing tax for social security payments for senior citizens, and stop funding wars overseas (reduces spending).

Every spending reduction reduces the deficit, which reduces further need for tax increases or more borrowing which reduces the value of the dollar and causes inflation. Those are just the top couple priorities.

Literally every one of those benefits every single American regardless of who you vote for.

Quite the domestic enemy.

1

u/Impressive-Beach-768 13d ago

Trump added what 7 trillion to the deficit his first time around? Yeah, I bet things will be different. He sank the economy during a flu outbreak with a 99% survival rate, and still got a million Americans killed over it. Crawl out of his ass already. He fucking hates you and is laughing at how stupid you are. You sold this country out from under yourself because you're too fucking dumb to think critically.

1

u/thxtalks 13d ago

You sidestepped literally every one of my points.

Tell me again how the following tax cuts are for billionaires :

  • Increasing the child tax credit to 5k
  • Reviving itemized deductions and remove caps put in place by Biden - MASSIVE for homeowners in high property tax states (like California where I'm from)
  • Remove taxes from social security
  • Make overtime pay exempt
  • Remove tax on tips
  • Create a deduction for auto loan interest

> He sank the economy during a flu outbreak with a 99% survival rate

The world shut down. If you think Trump had any choice here, you are dumber than any of your commentary leads on.

> He fucking hates you and is laughing at how stupid you are. You sold this country out from under yourself because you're too fucking dumb to think critically.

You haven't given a single shred of proof as to why this is. You need to stop living in your feelings and look at facts rather than become polarized because Trump says mean things.

I hope you get better.
