They do, but not at the expense of an orderly government that operates on principles. It's a bridge too far for that group.

The thing is I don't think Trump is joking. I said it before, if he loses the election he will do everything he can to say it was rigged and try and retain power but if that does not happen and come January he has to turn over the White House he will be in Russia. He knows damn well that he will end up in prison after his reign of terror and idiocy is over if he stays in the US.

How weird would it be if the president of the United States had to flee to Russia after losing reelection to avoid jail time?

Even the House of Cards writers be like “that’s way too ####ing crazy, no one will buy that” and they wrote some incredibly stupid #### on that show.

If that did happen, I could see Putin taking him in, debriefing him on everything he knows, then turning him in to the U.S. to be prosecuted (or just kill him).

I have a prediction how that may look...

Everything he knows? That would be a short interrogation.

No the best play for Putin is to welcome him in and have him live a lavish life in Sochi doing infomercials for Russia on late night TV like that Chinese guy with the bimbo's on the boat back in the 80's, the most destructive play is for Russia to admit everything and laugh at the US publicaly

'hell yes there was a piss tape, we owned him, and we owned your stupid voters, they did exactly what we told them to and they will again any time we want, we own the senate as well and the congress you cant trust any of them, fox news, we own that, Murdoch''s our stooge as well, there is nothing you can trust now, democracy is dead'

The Republicans have won the popular vote once in the last seven elections, and may soon have a 6-3 edge in the Supreme Court.

Haven't seen Trump's first reaction to hearing about RBG passing which starts at 0:40 of the below clip.

I hate Trump and what he's done during his 3 years for obvious reasons, but I think this is the first time I've ever seen him seem human and genuine in his response. Very odd to see.

Please don't tell me you're falling for that facade. From the moment he heard about her passing, he obviously only cared about flipping the SC seat. Is there any footage of Trump saying anything nice about RBG while she was alive? I've yet to see it.

Yup, he's just spouting whatever his handlers told him to say, since the subject was obviously going to come up and they knew he'd have to give some kind of official statement. If anyone actually believes he's being sincere in that clip, then you obviously haven't been paying attention over the last 4 years.

Yeah, but even with all the chaos in the White House does it actually make sense that an event that major would not be passed on to Trump, and instead he'd find out from a reporter?

All fair comments and to be clear, I'm not sitting here thinking that Trump is going to be any different because of this video. Only posting it because it really is the only time I can recall he's ever appeared real over a very long time.

At least someone is trying! Maybe put it in a KFC bucket next time and it might work.

Remember early in his term when he would give a speech and people would muse if that was when he finally “turned presidential”? Looking for some kind of relatable, admirable human there?

Didn’t happen, was never going to happen, and sure as heck ain’t happening because RBG passed. He is truly reprehensible through and through
