“Well, we’ll have to see what happens. You know that. I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots. And the ballots are a disaster,” Trump said at a White House news conference. It appeared Trump was referring to mail-in ballots, which he has repeatedly condemned, without evidence, as susceptible to massive fraud. The president had been asked by a reporter if he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power, “win, lose or draw.” When the reporter noted that “people are rioting,” Trump replied: “Get rid of the ballots, and you’ll have a very — you’ll have a very peaceful — there won’t be a transfer, frankly, there’ll be a continuation.” Donald J.

Types of coups:
Failed coup.
No regime change, such as when a leader is illegally shuffled out of power without changing the identity of the group in power or the rules for governing.
Replacement of incumbent dictatorship with another.
Ouster of the dictatorship followed by democratization (also called "democratic coups")
Military coups are, for the most part, outside the American political tradition. Talk of military coups, however, tends to surface at times when politics are divided and the nation is under stress. Such talk has resurfaced during the recent election season and a YouGov poll of Americans even found that support for a military coup, while perhaps not actually strong, was certainly stronger than many might hope.
The 20th Amendment is often referred to as the Lame Duck Amendment. ... It was passed by Congress on March 2, 1932, and ratified on January 3, 1933. The amendment changed the date of the Presidential inauguration from March 4 to January 20. If the electoral college failed to elect a President, or the election became the responsibility of Congress for any other reason, the architects of the 20th Amendment wanted to ensure that the incoming Congress, with its fresh public mandate, would do the choosing.
It never EVER should have been, “just listen to what trump is NOW saying,” followed by a laugh and a sarcastic eye roll! Ever since Trump was dubiously injected into the position as President, the common theme has been, oh Trump, that’s what makes him special, he says what he thinks, he breaks all kinds of norms. Ha-Ha, and each day, he was permitted to that crazy uncle always invited to the family gatherings, he has become more insane, more belligerent, more vindictive, more aligned with the most despised despots and dictators of the world, and more inclined to FUCK any and all CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS. As I write this we HAVE ONLY 38 Days, 16 Hours, 10 Minutes, and 35 Seconds, to decide, the fate of just how dangerous this nation may become, because, of Trump’s desire to stamp out democracy!
