If Trump pulls this off is it still a time to heal and unite the country or was that just Liberal bullshit? It feels like CNN is preparing its base for what is coming.

Trump was clearly hoping for this when he invited the Michigan legislators to the White House. They spurned him.
Does not look like it is going to happen. Sorry, but the institutions of the republic look like they are going to hold.
... then you lack a basic fundamental understanding of our democracy.
And in the words of yesterday's 21 page blistering 3d Circuit opinion authored by Trump appointed Judge Stephanos Bibas, "Voters, not lawyers, choose the President .... Ballots, not briefs, decide elections."
In that same spirit, blood would flow like a river along our streets if Electors did not honor the verdict delivered by the voters in their respective states.
Unity starts with respect for the truth. Biden walloped Trump in the popular vote, and decisively won the electoral vote.
Put on your Big Boy pants. Embrace the voters' verdict.
It won’t be your blood flowing you candy ass.
You will sit on the commode waft gaseous
nonsense.
self appointed Hollywood elites as their muscle. Not to mention all of the college professors. We need to be afraid, very afraid.

want here. The Left has been throwing a temper tantrum since Trump's Inauguration day. If that is how you "embraced the voters verdict" in 2016, then we are right in line with how you guys acted.
Had he honored his oath of office and made his Administration about the American people vs his own corrupt and narcissistic needs, he would have been supported. But, he chose to govern as he ran — divisive and dishonest. Most Americans are unwilling to embrace deplorable conduct.
Trump’s presidency was further tainted because of the Russian interference in 2016. He both obstructed the inquiry and denied that Russian interference ever occurred. Hence, Trump made it impossible for most Americans to trust him.
However, no one seriously challenged the legitimacy of the 2016 vote count. Hillary conceded. President Obama fully cooperated with the transition.
something he can’t address.
And I see your still hanging onto the Russian Hoax. By the way, we're still waiting on Schiff to show us the evidence he said he has. You treat that ass clown as a hero and he is nothing but a liar and leaker. But the Left seems to embrace people like that.
If Biden is serious about finding common ground, it won’t be with you nutties. There may be some less crazed elements on the right and in the center who want to deal. If not, more of the same, but at least the disgusting Orange stain will be gone.

favored by the peacefull protesters, er, Democrats
with the popular vote of the state. That vote as been certified. Appointment of other electors would be illegal. Another minor one is that the R legislative leaders of enough of these states have already said they won’t interfere to select electors.
and praise the disenfranchisement of American citizens.
And all the time you will call yourselves Americans and Patriotic.
he is abusing it. Which is it? I even posted a CNN video which would make you think it's the truth.

I'll just ignore him the same way I ignored BHO. No matter who wins, there will be no unity in this country. I just like the side I am on. It seems our side has more guns. But most of those guns are going to be lost in boating accidents, which is a shame.
It's become like college football, we tend to see every call from one perspective. It's too bad and doubt it is going to change. We are a "House divided."
the Right will piss and moan about it. Trump stays and cities will burn and of course it will just be accepted. Hell, it will be cheered on as peaceful protests. Some on here did some of that cheering.

creatures on the Right who want Joe in charge. Trump has been a speed bump to the way they are used to doing things. Of course, that will all depend on Georgia. The thought of the Dems having complete control is really scary. We are told here by an expert that Joe is a Moderate and nothing crazy will happen. I believe that about as much as I believed the polls in 2016 and this year.
I think Joe will cater to the radical side of the party or things will get ugly. He is already getting pressure because his choices aren't "black enough". To hell with most qualified, lets just check the boxes on race and gender. But you have to find someone of all these new, made up genders to fill positions. Capital Hill will look like a Burning Man festival.
But I am not enamored with one chamber owning veto power over everything either. But it is where we are now. The days of compromise are dead.

But you do know the dems didn't invent stonewalling the opposition president.
termer. The last prez really elected with a mandate to govern was confronted by McConnell on everything. I would call Barry out all the time for his divisiveness but that’s also where it really started. Ned and the Red Barron supported that strategy all the way. They were also strong tea party deficit hawks until the current messiah turned that into an even worse joke than the D’s.
Resist....the coup starts today...the Russia Hoax....
They did invent a lot of non-unifying activities. And now they call for unity...when they win. My point stands.
If your point is that the Republicans do it too, then ok, but the nation has not seen the GOP do anything like what the Dems have been doing for the past 4 years.
play the same game and McConnell is a wizard.

would lecture everyone on how the Framers wanted us to follow the Constitution. I wonder if he feels the same way now?
They plan on giving their own electors to the winner of the election at large, even if their state goes against that candidate. They will disenfranchise their own voters to nullify the electoral college. But they sure as heck don't want the GOP disenfranchising any voters. Only Dems get to do that.
1930's Germany, baby!

It is couched in great language, but at the bottom of it, they would give their electors to a candidate that their own people voted against.
15 blue states and the District of Columbia have voted for it already.

That statement is 100% accurate. Whether or not their state's population votes for a candidate is irrelevant to whether the candidate gets the electors for that state (if that compact goes into effect).
Certain legal questions may affect implementation of the compact. Some legal observers believe states have plenary power to appoint electors as prescribed by the compact; others believe that the compact will require congressional consent under the Constitution's Compact Clause or that the presidential election process cannot be altered except by a constitutional amendment.

If they did start confiscating guns, where do you think they would start?...in urban areas? I do wonder.
Having said that, I think it is too late to close the barn door on gun ownership...gun confiscation would destroy the Republic. Only a totalitarian state could confiscate guns. I guess that means this is like 1930's Germany.
We might have been able to secure some meaningful compromises on regulations 20 tears ago but not anymore.
The good news about guns, though, is that they are the great equalizer. If we had no guns, burglaries while home owners are present would be much higher (as in the UK), and women and the elderly would be more at risk. Nothing like a pink .38 special in the hands of a small woman to give pause to a would be rapist.
Our part is done. I’m not rioter. I’m happy to gaze and giggle as the libs’ heads explode.
