I would look at the Trump playbook to see how the GOP handled Mueller's investigation. We could get an AG that will do a "pre-release" report that portrays it all as "nothing to see here" and say it doesn't matter, you can't prosecute a president while in office, etc. and release a redacted report that shows little more than "the". The GOP showed us the way and that will apply in all things where the GOP has set precedent.

We would also call it a hoax.

The law is for all- if with any reasonable doubt anyone is guilty of any crimes, they should pay. period. I get irked when rich or famous people pass with nothing but a slap on the wrist.

How do you respond?
I need to know if this is before or after the aliens have landed so that I can come up with a reasonable response.

A pig flew by and stole them.

I don't know... it could be an interesting thought exercise. If an election is not reliable, we are in big, BIG trouble.

Just look at other countries where widespread corruption makes almost every election, every policy decision, ever single move is a hot mess because everybody thinks it's rigged. And, truth is, it might be: by the ruling party, by the other party, by external interests, by hackers with nothing better to do than mess things up. I mean, Venezuela is a great example.

I know there are laws and policies about what to do if an elected official can no longer hold their seat, but do we guidance on what to do if an entire election is rigged? What if the tinkering only applies to a swing state or two, or what if it only applies to a handful of positions while all other races seem to be valid? What if the source of the crime was foreign... how do international policies come into play?

I'm not a lawyer nor do I play one online, so I wouldn't even know where to look!

You know what's a fun thought exercise?

The mass hysteria leaves the trumpers and they go back to being nice little conservatives.

Wouldn't that be nice? If the GOP went back to the core values that made me join them in 1983 instead of fringe conspiracy theories and fear mongering that they've all embraced? If they would go back to being the party of the boardroom instead of the party of the buffet line?


Won't happen, but it's nice to think about.....

Let Biden do his thing.

Take that energy and go forward with it.

Scrutinize him at the same level that has been done to Trump.


Read deep into his policies. Pay attention to those more radical around him and watch the influence unfold.

Remember his gaffes. His Promises. His stances.

The best thing to happen is if he plays Moderate and doesn't get steamrolled by his more Leftist party members.

But the more you go on about Ex-President Trump, the more fuel you give to those far Lefter policies.

They will make mountains out of molehills regardless to push their agenda. Don't make it easy.
Exactly.

Have impeachment documents drawn up and ready to be voted on the day he takes office.

Have a foreign agent create a faux "dossier" detailing scandals and foreign influence, and distribute it to the media (by federal agencies of course).

Start a multi-year investigation into his dealings with foreign nations, prosecuting his long time friends and associates, until they provide "dirt".

Have a faux "impeachment hearing" to entertain the weak minded.

Investigate China and Ukrainian funding of the entire Biden family.

Just for a start.

Oh, I forgot, get out your pink pu**y hats and march in the streets over the accused rapist in the oval office.

I'm afraid that point has passed. After the 4 year temper tantrums, lies, insults and slander from the left, I don't think you're going to find that conservatives are just going to roll over and pander to them. Not that you'll see them put on pink hats, loot businesses or burn neighborhoods like those on the left, but I suspect some remember "Resist" quite well.
