I can’t imagine Trump leaving office willingly, and I suspect these “jokes” are about the fact that he can’t either.
Note the I said I can’t imagine him leaving willingly, not that I can’t imagine THAT he would leave willingly. Two different things.
When I say I can’t imagine it, I mean just that: That I can’t picture it. I can’t imagine what it would look like.
Can you picture a Trump concession speech upon losing the presidency? Can you imagine what he would say, how he would acknowledge and accept defeat?
Can you imagine a defeated Trump inviting his successor to the White House, as Obama welcomed him? Can you imagine pleasantries for the cameras?
Can you imagine the transition? The two and a half months of Trump defeated-but-not-yet-removed-from-office? What would he say? What would he do? What on earth would he tweet?
Can you imagine him attending the inauguration of his successor? Can you imagine what he’d do that night? The next day?
I can’t. I can’t imagine any of it.
And I don’t think he can either.

I recently remembered that I was banned from the AOL chatrooms in like 1992 for using crude language against a neo-Nazi.
I was a man ahead of my time.
Somewhere I still have a copy of the article a Chicago alt paper wrote about the scandal of my censoring. @mrspete convinced the reporter that I was newsworthy, as I recall.

More than a month ago, Nancy Pelosi was quoted in the New York Times saying that she thought Trump might not step down if he lost the election. It was a one-day story, and she hasn't made any public statement on the topic since.
The Democrats should be making public preparations for the possibility of a stolen election next year, and mobilizing the public against that possibility. So far they're doing neither.
Who the Democrats nominate as president will matter a lot as to how effective an attempt to steal the 2020 election would be. On its own, it may well not matter enough to stop a serious attempt.

The weirdest thing about all the "the debate lineups were fixed!" stuff is the idea that you'd bother to stack the lineups for the first debate in a series of eleven.
Set aside that the DNC didn't set the lists. Set aside that the candidates had people in the room when NBC drew the names. Set aside that three of the four possible results for the top three had one of them left out from debating the other two.
(And don't tell me that Bernie-Warren one night, Biden the other, wouldn't have brought out conspiracy theories. Or Warren-Biden one night, Bernie the other. Or, hell, all three one night, nobody the other.)

Trump totally insulted Ireland and the PM. First, he wanted the PM to come to his golf course for a state visit (even though it was approx 180 miles from the capital) and so instead they met at Shannon Airport. #trump #Ireland businessinsider.com/varadkar-met-t…
Then, just as the reinstitution of a border with Northern Ireland under Brexit has heightened tensions and fears of a return to sectarian violence, Trump comes in praising borders and walls. #trump #Ireland washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
Finally, when asked if his trip to Ireland was just to promote his golf course, he said "this trip is really about great relationships that we have with the U.K" ignoring the fact that Ireland has not been part of the UK since 1922. #trump #Ireland washingtonpost.com/world/europe/i…

Lisez et relisez cette phrase (et le passage souligné en rouge) sur la campagne #Trump et la #Russie du rapport #Mueller, elle revient 2 fois dans les 15 premières pages. De la notion de "collusion" qui est d'ailleurs aussi beaucoup discutée dans les 1ères pages. #teasing
2) Après le résumé du volume 1 sur 7 pages, dont le texte précédent page 5 est extrait, le rapport #Muller narre d'abord ses découvertes sur l'opération de déstabilisation de l'élection US 2016 par l'IRA de Prigozhin, proche de #Poutine, sur les réseaux sociaux.
3) Cette partie très caviardée sur l'ingérence de l'IRA russe sur les réseaux sociaux conclut clairement: l'IRA de Prigozhin viola les lois US contre l'influence étrangère des campagnes mais les campagnes locales de #Trump contactées par l'IRA ignoraient l'origine russe (page 35)

PLEASE RETWEET THIS, OUR ALLIES ARE BETRAYED.

Think about how many more of our military may have died without any allies in the middle east.#Trump is a RUSSIAN AGENT, knowing or unknowingly, our intelligence community is NOT defending us from ALL enemies, foreign or domestic.
If even one military member in Syria is killed trying to retreat from Syria, #POTUS should be charged for #Treason, #AbuseofPower, #Espionage, #Conspiracy with a foreign power
1)#Russia
2)#Turkey
3)#SaudiArabia
4)#Iran

For his own personal interests, NOT national interests
By publicly announcing a military movement to the world, including the time frame, it could not be MORE treasonous and is BEYOND ignorance, it is TREASON.

Beware the Wolf Moon, like the "Ides of March", it will mark a new beginning for a government of, for, and by the people.

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
