38. Stop with this nonsense

You can not stage a coup on a “might violate constitution” scenario. Biden and Harris have very prescribed roles and since Trump will not be in office until they leave, they can’t interfere with a peaceful transfer of power under the guise he will violate the constitution. The country doesn’t work that way.

Is it frustrating that we all know he will go down that road after he’s in office and no one can do anything about it now since he isn’t currently in office doing those things? Of course. But that’s the bind they are in.

Hopefully they’re using this time to drop as many poison pills into legislation as is legally possible right now.
