The poor news anchor lady on CNN is trying very hard not to cry on TV. This is like watching a train crash

18,000 votes left to count in Georgia I believe. DH is just checking the numbers. If thats right...

It's no wonder, I feel like crying and I don't live there.

This is absolutely awful.

He's just going to try and hold the USA to ransom isn't he☹️
Obey me or I will destroy you

Pomegranatespompom · 06/11/2020 00:10

Yes he’s been deserted apart - apart from family who now think they are like the Kennedy’s. Worryingly.

Roussette · 06/11/2020 00:10

Hmmm... they're saying that on CNN, exactly what I said

May I just say that I'm sincerely grateful to MN for being a public forum where we can openly state our opinions without (for the most part) facing dire consequences.Smile

He’s absolutely crazy. It’s scary
This monster is inciting violence

SinisterBumFacedCat · 06/11/2020 00:11

I feel sorry for the people counting, he is making them a target.

@cantdothisnow1

What is the process, in the United States, for dealing with a President who is unfit for office on the grounds of insanity?

Surely someone must be looking into this?

He's really dangerous and utterly insane.

Need to invoke the 25th Amendment
BubblyWater · 06/11/2020 00:11

Expecting him to do this and actually seeing this playing out is making me nauseous.

RedToothBrush · 06/11/2020 00:11

DH predicting Biden wins Georgia by about 2000 votes.

lionheart · 06/11/2020 00:11

It is extraordinary even after all the other shit he's pulled.

Yohoheaveho · 06/11/2020 00:12

He must have power at any and all costs like a fat orange gollum☹️

Derxa might tell you you are a meanie. It's killing me.
Roussette · 06/11/2020 00:12

I agree. it's upsetting. One man just one man holding a country to ransom, inciting violence, reducing a wonderful country that we loved... to this.

Dramaofallama · 06/11/2020 00:12

I remember earlier this year, when some of the democratic states put a lockdown in place and trump blasted them on twitter and encouraged the people to revolt and protest against it. I said to my friend, 'it's like he wants to start a new civil war', I now genuinely believe he does.

It's like he wants to be seen as some martyr for the US in years to come.

TokyoSushi · 06/11/2020 00:12

@Roussette Who do you think the person that would intervene would be?

Clearly somebody needs to take hold of him, like a tired and unreasonable toddler, and cart him off, but who would do that? And would he listen?

Thats the plan. Get the country to burn because he didn't get his own way.

This was the only way Trump was ever going to leave the White House.

anewdispensation · 06/11/2020 00:13

It is terrible. This is what you expect from fragile democracies in some African states (I’m from there and we are used to all sorts of antics). But this is the fucking USA. Wow!

I worry because African leaders who are not known for smooth transition of power will be getting emboldened and now rubbing their hands in glee at what’s unravelling. This is a dangerous precedent to set. I am livid! For purely selfish reasons and how this will set African democracy back

SanFranBear · 06/11/2020 00:13

Sad I'm pretty speechless...

tobee · 06/11/2020 00:13

@RedToothBrush

So will Trump call for violence.... ?

Sharp intake of breath

cantdothisnow1 · 06/11/2020 00:14

Thank you BlueCat, how is it invoked?

Surely both democrats and reasonable republicans can see that this can't continue?

This man cannot be allowed to rule for another 60 days, he's unhinged.
