experience in public service and a good understanding of democracy and threats to it. He also has a team of people who understand exactly what is going on. I'm sure they have discussed how to handle this.

....photographs from that balcony that overlooks Central Park. Great pictures (that's where he's standing there)

I'm so jealous of him for where he lives.

He became a dog lover later in his life. He covered it on The Closer or The Resistance series of political rants. And he always throws some sports into the mix. He used to live at tRump Tower and took a loss when trying to sell it 3 years ago.

handle it if Trump does try it. It's the sort of thing that could set off internal street fighting before Biden gets sworn in - or right afterward.

I feel sure that Biden, his team, and his supporters have thought about this possibility and have plans for handling it. But it sure is unnerving and annoying.

I posted something similar to this in that a friend of mine suggested Trump will not leave office and will declare himself the legitimate president ..that post was deleted because I was "peddling right-wing talking points, smears, or sources."

Was this removal a mistake or is there something I dont get

You perhaps should try "Community Help" forum & see what folks suggest.

If you didn't copy that post, perhaps you remember it in as many details as possible.

Rethugs won’t support it, they’re too skeered of his base. If Dems start getting too close to it, it’ll at most be traded off for something else, like Covid relief for states. Even if we win both Georgia seats. We’re not going to risk alienating alien mcconnell because his wrath will hold up every bit of progress we need. I hope I’m wrong!

I’m counting on NY to pin him to the ground instead.
