Similar crap posted all over various social media platforms.

No way to know how many post in their tidy whites from mom’s basement, (Adam Lanza style), or from foreign countries or were just blowing steam or were serious.
You just won ignore list with your reference to Lanza.

I voted NO because he caved in and started spewing the same lies about whats going on.... He told the truth in January when he told people it wasnt that bad and then for some reason he started going along with this......

That is not even possible.

There are first of all 50 separate elections in each of the 50 states. Then the votes are tabulated by the Electoral College, which the President has no direct contact with or authority over. Then it is up to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to swear in the president, based on the winner in the Electoral College.

This is ALL accomplished without any input or oversight by the President at all. As a result, Trump could not "invalidate" the election results, even if he wanted to.

Leftists are relentless, aggressive, unconscionable liars. Case closed.

It's an attempt to set up a new narrative. They know Harris/biden is a long shot at best so they are trying to gin up more fear and loathing (if that is possible) among the ill informed left. The predictable headlines the day after a Trump win will be "Democrats Outraged" and "Democrats Demand", etc., etc., .

One legal scholar in the report opined that Trump has the power to actually suspend the Constitution in the case of a national emergency. Nobody really knows the extent of these powers because they have been hidden from the American people for fear these powers would frighten them too much.

Assuming Trump would claim voter mail-in ballot fraud if he lost to Biden and he had the power contained within these documents to invalidate the election results by declaring a national emergency, would you support his decision to invalidate the election and stay in office?
Nice try, Democrat! Try to start something that won't happen! Frankly, Democrats, such as yourself, will lose their freaking minds when Biden/Black Female LOSE!! Trump/AMERICA 2020

“I have to see. I’m not going to just say ‘yes.’ I’m not going to say ‘no,’ and I didn’t last time either.”
Our president is a true master at keeping the fake press, like Chris Wallace, guessing! I love it! Trump has FINALLY figured out that every "reporter," including Wallace, is out to get him!

How does that happen? Trump has been complaining about voter fraud since his numbers tanked in March.

I think he could invalidate the results. He's not going to wait around for the electoral college. If he loses the popular vote I think he'll immediately declare the election void because of mail-in ballot fraud--that'll be his excuse to declare a national emergency. Then he'll istitute martial law to suppress the riots that will inevitably break out and use his emergency powers to arrest and imprison the worst of the rioters to put the fear of God into the rest of them. This will look no different than what Stalin did to his enemies to stay in power and I fear Trump has taken his lessons on retaining power from the worst of the dictators because deep down he wants to be a dictator like his hero, Putin.

Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton could do the same thing. It would not have anymore legal effect than if Trump did it. We have a process for this and none of the people directly competing in the election are in any way involved in it. In other words, it works without their involvement.

Also, as we know, over the last four years it has actually been the Democrats trying to invalidate the results of the last election, so clearly it is the Democrats that we need to be more concerned about trying to steal the election - again.
