  • Pence Said to Have Told Trump He Lacks Power to Change Election Result

    Vice President Mike Pence told President Trump on Tuesday that he did not believe he had the power to block congressional certification of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s victory in the presidential election despite Mr. Trump’s baseless insistence that he did, people briefed on the conversation said. Mr. Pence’s message, delivered during his weekly lunch with the president, came hours after Mr. Trump further turned up the public pressure on the vice president to do his bidding when Congress convenes Wednesday in a joint session to ratify Mr. Biden’s Electoral College win. “The Vice President has the power to reject ...

The old Danish folk tail, by the brilliant H.C. Andersen - "The Emperor`s New Clothes" repeats itself; Eventually someone (of his closest) needed to tell the Emperor that he had no clothes...What a gem that Story was and still is.

Black comedy. If the potential fallout from trump's reactions to losing were not so dire, this would all be hilarious. Pence chose to sleep with a narcissist, he deserves the consequences, as do most of the republican senators. Spare the rest of us.

Whoa, Lin Wood's tweets about Pence proving to be true?
If that proves to be correct (and not more fake news) then the proof of fraud would need to be proved beyond a reasonable dout IMHO,
and if that proves to be correct, then that could be seen as very real problem in the future for the USA.

I disagree on two fronts.

Firstly he has delivered Brexit, the UK has a lower unemployment rate than most countries on the continent and the handling of the COVID crisis is not that bad - the density of our population has caused a lot of issues as we are an overpopulated island with the majority based in the South East.

Secondly It is quite clear that Biden has the early onset of dementia, so even with the departure of Trump, Biden goes straight to number one on the basis of his cognitive state.

Macron is certainly a candidate and he can't blame dementia.

If the VP could overturn the result of an election, then why would we even have an election in the first place? Just have the VP pick the next President every election then. Trump is really dumb.

Get the glocks ready boys! Locked and loaded. Civil war on the way Hahaha.

No but in all seriousness, forget a president elect, America as we know it is ruined. US Dollar has been printed so many times in 2020, that over 30% of the circulating money in America, is printed in the year 2020. Economy is falling, buy bitcoin, buy gold!
Once coinbase comes out with the "CRYPTO VISA" its over for the US Dollar.
