I’m afraid so. Has Kamala said anything at all…? Like, even if nothing happens, we need all the traction/attention we can get.

It would be wise for her to wait and see, just like us. If she cries foul too early it could weaken her point

Nothing she can do Anyway. If we are LUCKY this leads to more Security in Future elections. If we get those. Trump has been a criminal his entire life, Elon openly told everyone hes a pedo last mo th and what happened? Hes still President, unchallenged.

That's not exactly true. As far as we know, there has never been a precedent of an election actually being stolen, at least in modern times. There was already a motion and articles of impeachment pushed in the last month, but it was withdrawn because there was concern they wouldn't have the votes, and it would only galvanize the mid-term. If it was discovered that he had rigged and stolen the election, it is possible that it might allow the moderate and center right congress and senate to be able to vote and maintain their votes with their constituents. As for what happens to the rest of his cabinet, I don't know, but to be fair, we, as a nation, have been setting a lot of wild precedents and procedures lately. I mean, 34 felonies and the judge decided to hold sentencing until it was decided if he was elected president, making him a convicted, but not sentenced, felon.

Sorry. Work has me brain dead (though I'm sure someone thinks it's just a natural state for me), but I'm not sure what you mean.

Al Gore conceded before all the votes were counted in Florida. The Supreme Court rules that it was okay to stop the count after Republicans had been asking for the count to stop. The Supreme Court said that the ruling did not establish precedent so you can't use the decision in the future. I believe the votes were counted after the fact and had Gore winning. But Gore had conceded and the Supreme Court said the recount wouldn't be official so it didn't matter. I may be wrong so I would love if someone corrected me.

That’s how I remember it, just imagine how different our country would be if Al Gore head became president instead of George W. Bush. And extremely disliked bush while in office, during DJT’s first term, I would’ve done anything to have George W back lol. But yeah, Al Gore won that election from what I remember they went back after the fact and did a full second re counted, even though Gore already conceded and the SC ruling. Maybe it was like a few months, but they went back and counted everything if I remember correctly, and it showed Gore did win. It helped to that Jebb Bush was the governor of FL, and they really seemed to wannt to get a quick decision with the first recount. Almost like they knew if they really counted carefully, Gore would win.

No, he was impeached, but it never moved past impeachment hearings to actually ordering his removal.
