I really don’t foresee the military intervening in his behalf. They’ve sworn an oath to defend the constitution, not the president. If anything the military will bring order to any street chaos magas decide to wage.

In the U.S. military, we swaer an oath to protect the U.S. from all enemies foreign AND domestic.

Facist dictators count as domestic enemies.

The military brass doesn’t care for Trump, anyway....

As of 20 Jan 21, Donald Trump will have no more power than the White House gardener.

It's over, he's done.

Let him go.

Don't keep coming up with scenarios to worry over.

The only worry now is the scorched Earth revenge he has the opportunity to pull over the next 74 days.. especially if republicans enable him & go along with whatever crazy crap he dreams up to stick it to America with.

Trump was a draft dodger and mocked POWs. The military isn’t going to back him.

:roll:

DTS doesn’t exist. Those who don’t detest him are living in some sort of alternate reality, for one.

And for two, the trump crime family is about to get RICO’d and their house of cards empire dismantled bit by bit over the next couple decades as assets are seized and sold to pay back taxes and that help fund the green new deal. :) Gonna be plenty of good watching yet! Especially if they let him tweet from jail. 8)

Lock Him Up!!

Maaaaaybe he won’t have an aneurysm, stroke, or heart attack on the golf course anytime soon & he’ll live long enough to die in jail. 8)

Trump is still at it (his ALLCAPS, not mine):

I wonder if he'll do a runner?

He's not got much going for him: unemployed, a shedload of pending legal cases to defend, massive personal debts (plus business) due within a few years, nowhere near as wealthy as claimed, etc.
Maybe Argentina? :lol:

The more Trump speaks against him losing the election, the more schizophrenic he sounds.

Now I am starting to believe my husband and mother and when said a few years back he may have schizophrenia. It wouldn't surprise me or he is just lying lying lying but he sounds schizophrenic when he keeps speaking of these conspiracies against him. Schizophrenics believe their accidental lies because to them they're real because it's their delusion.

I was telling my husband today imagine if he killed himself for losing or he flees the country like the Nazis did. They all went to Brazil. It seems like that is where every criminal goes to avoid being convicted. How does this work? Do they not allow people to be extradited from their own country when they have fled there?
