Russia, Putin, fake news, Comey = = Trumpster
The kkk has arrived. Kleptocratic kakistrophic klusterfuck
We have an enemy of the state that was elected by fraudulent means.
Time for our government to step up and insure that we the people got a legitimate election, by redoing the election.

(56,538 posts)Otherwise, how long do you think McConnell would have found a way to prevent Obama from taking the oath of office in 2008 and 2012? A year? Two years, until the first Citizens United Congress could take office?

And I am looking at a recent redo election in South America recently.?

(40,416 posts)We are a constitutional republic!!!! We have laws, none of which allow rerolls of the electoral dice.
Please stop posting such madness.
Thanks.

(40,416 posts)None whatsoever.
pbmus
(12,439 posts)Cry to our reps about it..?
longship
(40,416 posts)Implying that there are is wrong.
There is a very good reason why this is so. In our constitutional republic we have a centuries old heritage of accepting election results.
Now, I could get on board with an argument that this is a constitutional crisis. However, any call for a reroll of the dice has no credible basis. PERIOD!! Our laws do not support such a thing.
Calling for an election redo is at best ignorant of US law.
My question would be simple. How does that work? And who decides?
That's right. There is no way it works. Nobody has the power.
Enough with this utter rubbish.
pbmus
(12,439 posts)Where a Trumpster was elected thru hacking, fake news, Comey ...
Now, what can be done about a fraudulent election.?
longship
(40,416 posts)You have no leg to stand on. Under our laws, THERE ARE NO FUCKING ELECTION REDOS!!
Arguing for one shows ignorance of over two centuries of our constitutional republic.
There is no mechanism for undoing an election. NONE! Other than impeachment and trial in the US Senate.
Some people here need to review their constitution.
pbmus
(12,439 posts)Or associates...!
longship
(40,416 posts)And calling for one is extraordinary ignorance.
Again...
How does that work?
Who gets to decide?
There are no answers to those.
So stop ringing that cockamamie redo the election bell.

(364 posts)Can't they do something - create a new law for instance?
longship
(40,416 posts)Or that any law would apply retroactively to a previous election?
The redo the election argument is as delusional as anything I've heard.
pbmus
(12,439 posts)I will ask again, what can citizens do about fraudulent elections?
longship
(40,416 posts)I will ask you one last time about election redos.
How does this work?
Who gets to decide?
Please be specific. And cite the appropriate laws.
I'm done with this idiocy.
pbmus
(12,439 posts)How would that ever work..not
longship
(40,416 posts)No fucking election redos.
Bye, and best wishes to you. Indeed, to us all.

(2,064 posts)and that work is long, difficult, & expensive, but in the end the only way short of armed revolution that we can depose a sitting POTUS. Better to get busy working on the 2018 midterms than to send Jill Stein your hard earned money so she can tilt at windmills. If you're going to donate money, donate it to the DNC - especially if Rep. Keith Ellison is tapped as the new chairperson.
As for the armed revolution, I wouldn't go around advocating that unless you want to wind up in jail. I don't think Orange Julius Caesar Trump will flinch at locking people up and throwing away the key if there's even a whiff of revolutionary uprising amongst the common folk.
