So, Trump won't "commit to a peaceful transfer of power". SO. EFFING. WHAT? [View all]

Why even ask him if he will? Doesn't just asking him imply that he has a CHOICE? He does not have a choice!

He does not consent to the election. Will that stop it?

He does not consent to being criticized. Has that stopped it?

He probably would not consent to Joe's next breath. Is Joe still with us?

We will drag his skanky ass out of the White House if he refuses to leave after losing the election and it will mean NOTHING that he doesn't "consent"! All the breathless outrage about his arrogant statement has done just one thing: it has moved 203,000 covid deaths to the back burner.

When has "I don't consent" ever stopped a criminal from going to prison?
