Donald Trump is a sore loser, to say the least. On Saturday, the former president called for the termination of the Constitution in order to overturn the 2020 election results. In Trump's latest rant on Truth Social, he referred to himself wrongly as the "rightful winner" and called for his installation as leader of the free world.

"Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution," Trump wrote in a post on the social network Truth Social. He further alleged that "Big Tech" was working closely with Democrats. "Our great 'Founders' did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!"

Trump's public appeal to end American democracy followed Elon Musk's release of internal Twitter files on Friday evening, which detailed already publicly-known information about the company's deliberation surrounding the New York Post's publication of files from Hunter Biden shortly before the 2020 election.

The push-back to Trump's post was swift on Saturday. White House Deputy Secretary Andrew Bates released a statement condemning Trump's remarks. "The American Constitution is a sacrosanct document that for over 200 years has guaranteed that freedom and the rule of law prevail in our great country," Bates said. "The Constitution brings the American people together — regardless of party — and elected leaders swear to uphold it.

"It's the ultimate monument to all of the Americans who have given their lives to defeat self-serving despots that abused their power and trampled on fundamental rights," he continued. "Attacking the Constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our nation, and should be universally condemned. You cannot only love America when you win."


Others took the ex-president's words as motivation to keep folks from becoming complacent when democracy is at stake.


Trump just called for the suspension of the Constitution to overturn the 2020 results.
Georgia VOTE.
You stood tall against Trump and his minions last time. A win for Warnock is another win for democracy.

— Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) December 3, 2022

"Trump just called for the suspension of the Constitution to overturn the 2020 results. Georgia VOTE," Senator Amy Klobuchar tweeted. "You stood tall against Trump and his minions last time. A win for Warnock is another win for democracy."


A few hours ago the leader of the republican party donald trump called for destroying the Constitution and making himself dictator.
— Bill Pascrell, Jr. (@BillPascrell) December 3, 2022

Some, like Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr., called-out Trump's actions for what they are: dictator behavior.

"A few hours ago the leader of the republican party donald trump called for destroying the Constitution and making himself dictator," Pascrell said.

Still others are astonished that there is anyone who is still falling for Trump's bullshit.


"Donald Trump continues to push the Big Lie. It's astounding how many Racist Idiots still believe this Bull Crap," Rob Reiner wrote.

On Friday, Trump was accused of "explicitly sanctioning tax fraud" by Manhattan prosecutors in the criminal tax fraud trial against several of his companies. Last week, Trump got trolled by Milo Yiannopoulus and white supremacist and Holocaust-denier Nick Fuentes, who along with Kanye West had a private dinner with him at Mar-a-Lago. Trump announced his third presidential bid in November.

So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.Our great “Founders” did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!

What the uproar reveals is that Donald Trump is the most influential politician in the United States.  Trump has more political influence than any other living President.  Trump barks and the entire political system jumps.

The continued influence of Donald Trump demonstrates that there isn't any political leadership in the United States.

I seriously doubt that Desantis could beat Biden. None of the states that Biden won are trending republican. In fact, the opposite. Red states getting redder does not help the gop... 

Until the gop comes up with a much less divisive candidate the electoral map is not going to flip for any MAGA nutters. The Trumpian candidates belly flopped on November 8th. Trump's influence is wanting even as he wildly flails publicly.

The five & dime crystal ball says Trump won't be the nominee.  And Biden's handlers may not be able to control him for the next two years.  After all, Biden won the midterms, didn't he?

That's correct.  Red states becoming redder doesn't help Republicans.  Of course, blue states becoming bluer doesn't help Democrats, either.  Suburbia will be the battleground for 2024.

DeSantis did win the midterms.  Biden was only the opener for Obama.  So, DeSantis becoming the Republican nominee means that he'll be running against Obama.  Biden will be able to stay in the basement.

Until the gop comes up with a much less divisive candidate the electoral map is not going to flip for any MAGA nutters. The Trumpian candidates belly flopped on November 8th. Trump's influence is wanting even as he wildly flails publicly.

A winning Republican candidate only has to ignore Democrats' divisive issues.  The best response to Democrats' identity politics would be 'let children do childish things'.  The Presidency requires a grown up.

So in the continual obfuscation, the intent is not just to opine, not to perhaps inform, but to accept the worthless purpose to ‘confuse’. Evidence is ample.

Wouldn't a fraudulent election have already allowed 'for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution'?

Obviously those who jump every time Trump barks gives a shit.  That's what I've observed.  Apparently the White House is scared shitless because they are doing a lot of jumping.

Donald Trump has just spoke to his 'masses' in that manner he does of putting everything out in the public. We, our leaders too, had better be on their  Ps and Qs. This SOB just made his wish known that he wants to be president (now!) and he is testing to see if his minions will pick it up, run with it, and make it so!  Donald Trump is asking his supporters in the millions to revolt against the CONSTITUTION! Cause a new revolutionary war that ends in the takeover over the entire government or at a minimum installs him as President of the 'red states' of America!

That SOB Trump has farther sanctioned a new more dangerous insurrection in this country, and he did it knowing that he is a declared presidential candidate for 2024.

Now then I ask: Where is the OUTRAGE?!!!

To paraphrase a Christmas classic "look mommy, every time shit comes out of Donald's mouth countless liberal heads explode".

Why does the left say everything that comes out of Donald's mouth is a lie yet they decide to believe he is telling the truth when he spouts some obvious shit?

Trump is news.   He is the only announced candidate for the GoP nomination and he is out there making increasingly bizarre statements.   On top of that, there is all sorts of activity taking place as a result of his actions while PotUS.

Of course people will comment on this.   It is news and it is strange;  a perfect combination.   And the commentary is clearly NOT simply coming from liberals.

So why are you wondering why a mostly news-oriented forum discusses something that is very newsworthy?

Look!

The man dissed the so-called, "patriots' " constitution and his enablers are yet looking outward instead of inward. Disturbing!

What Do MAGA Republicans Believe

By Donald Trump   -  September 1, 2022

During his four years as President, Donald J. Trump’s administration delivered for Americans of all backgrounds like never before. Save America and the MAGA movement is about building on the Trump administrations accomplishments, supporting the brave conservatives who will define the future of the America First Movement, the future of our party, and the future of our beloved country. Save America and the MAGA movement is also about ensuring that we always keep America First, in our foreign and domestic policy. We take pride in our country, we teach the truth about our history, we celebrate our rich heritage and national traditions, and of course, we respect our great American Flag.

    We are committed to defending innocent life and to upholding the Judeo-Christian values of our founding.

    We believe in the promise of the Declaration of Independence, that we are all made EQUAL by our Creator, and that must all be TREATED equal under the law.

    We know that our rights do not come from government, they come from God, and no earthly force can ever take those rights away. That includes the right to religious liberty and the right to Keep and Bear Arms.

    We believe in rebuilding our previously depleted military and ending the endless wars our failed politicians of the past got us into for decades.

    We embrace free thought, we welcome robust debate, and we are not afraid to stand up to the oppressive dictates of political correctness.

    We know that the rule of law is the ultimate safeguard of our freedoms, and we affirm that the Constitution means exactly what it says AS WRITTEN.

    We support fair trade, low taxes, and fewer job-killing regulations, and we know that America must always have the most powerful military on the face of the Earth.

    We believe in Law and Order, and we believe that the men and women of law enforcement are HEROES who deserve our absolute support.

    We believe in FREE SPEECH and Fair Elections.  We must ensure fair, honest, transparent, and secure elections going forward – where every LEGAL VOTE counts.

Observe the 'writer' and the date. The ignoramus LOSER (Donald Trump) who is talking out-loud about 'ending' our constitution and dividing the states as 'spoil' just so he can have the pleasure of 'being somebody' that he once was and "f-ed" it up royally!
