   Why was the area cleared, and people gassed with pepper spray, etc.?   
   These were all peaceful proteters, including women and children. None   
   of them violent. What was the reason? Why did the president order law   
   enforcement (military, etc.) to act against their fellow Americans?   
      
   So he could have a photo-op in front of a church while holding   
   a bible upside down.   
      
   What a beautiful sight. Innocent men, women and children suffering   
   so a madman could do his thing at a place of worship. What kind of   
   a shithole this country has become.   
      
   I hope, and I pray to God, that this nightmare will soon end.   
      
   I have no doubt, absolutely no doubt, that Biden will win the election.   
   However, as to being allowed to take office is another question.   
      
   You know what that means.   
      
   The peaceful transfer of power is a fiction. A polite fiction.   
      
   There will be no more American experiment. Democracy will be dead.   
      
   "Trump isn't looking for a second term - he's looking for a do-over"   
   ~ Biden for President campaign   
      
   Al Gore won the election, defeating George W. Bush.   
   The USSC decided, by a 5-4 vote, to award the presidency to Bush.   
   Nothing compelled Gore to concede.   
   So why did he do it?   
   He did so "for the good of the country."   
   Those were his own words.   
      
   The other day Gore said he was out of options once the USSC made   
   its decision. But that was not true, given his previous statement.   
      
   But I am not going to quibble on what Gore said. You can look it   
   up on your own time if you want to verify his comments.   
      
   The real question is, what if Trump refuses to concede, even after   
   losing? Can he be compelled to leave if he refuses to concede?   
   No ruling by the USSC can do that.   
      
   According to the 20th Amendment, a president's term in office   
   "shall end at noon on the 20th day of January" after an election.   
      
   Now, please tell me, who will be POTUS at 12:01 on January 20, 2021?   
      
   Will it be the man on the left, who swears on a bible held right-side   
   up? Or will it be the man on the right, who swears on a bible held   
   upside-down?
