The Democrats can’t accomplish their malevolent, far-left goals without resorting to fraud, corruption, malfeasance.
For rational Americans who are scratching their heads at the latest Democrat putsch — a demented, incompetent candidate — it’s not about Biden. Biden will never be president. They intend to get their Soros puppet in by any means necessary.
Leftist Harvard Prof Pushes Scenario in Which Pelosi Could Become President
It’s difficult to know when to take Laurence Tribe seriously.
By Western Journal, August 4, 2020:
Yes, the notoriously left-leaning Harvard law professor is one of our nation’s foremost constitutional scholars. You might not agree with him, but he’s been both massively prolific and influential in his work.
For better or ill, Tribe was the legal mentor of Barack Obama. He helped kill Robert Bork’s nomination to the Supreme Court through his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. He’s argued a not-insignificant number of cases before the high court. Conservatives may loathe him, but he’s one of the most important legal minds of the past century.
He’s also a man who’s come undone in the age of Donald Trump, using his Twitter account to spread misinformation about the president when he isn’t coming up with his own:
What if we were to learn that Trump suppressed scary information re COVID-19 (and the needed federal response) in January to postpone the economic turndown until it could no longer endanger his Senate acquittal? Retweet if you wouldn’t be surprised by his making that tradeoff.

This is like watching the final years of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, when he became obsessed with the paranormal and convinced that fairies existed and had been captured on camera. The difference is that Doyle wrote “The Hound of the Baskervilles” and not “American Constitutional Law,” and he wasn’t being invited on MSNBC to talk about the existence of the fairies. (To be fair, that might have been a bit anachronistic.)
Laurence Tribe says there’s a “fail safe” built into the U.S. Constitution if Pres. Trump loses the election and refuses to leave office: “On Jan. 20, 2021 if there has not been a new president elected, at that point, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, becomes president." pic.twitter.com/vuvzll5ib3

Thus, if you heard the situation Tribe described on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show on Friday regarding what would happen if no presidential winner were declared by Jan. 20, 2021, due to delays or mail-in ballot difficulties — that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would take office as the next president — you were probably wondering whether this was Tribe speaking as a constitutional scholar or as a man who could use a nice, long rest.
The answer: It’s not as bonkers as you think, but the situation also isn’t as well-thought-out as you would expect from one of our top constitutional scholars.
“There is a procedure — it’s a very elaborate procedure — in every state for resolving disputes by the date of the so-called safe harbor on Dec. 8,” Tribe said.
“So, really, all of the efforts that Trump is making to both pretend that he can extend the date of the election, which everyone understands he can’t do that. That date is set at Nov. 3 by act of Congress. All of that is designed simply to cast doubt in the way that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin wants to, and the way that [former Trump adviser Steve] Bannon has tried to do from time to time on the ability of our system to work,” he said.
As for the part about extending the date of the election, Tribe is accurate — and everyone understands, by this point, that the election isn’t being postponed.
The question is what happens if the states haven’t decided winners by the inauguration date.
As for Putin and Bannon, this is Tribe we’re dealing with. There’s always something lurking behind the Trump presidency.
“They’re trying to make it look chaotic, but there’s a fail-safe mechanism built into the Constitution itself,” Tribe said.
“That is no matter how much dust he throws into the gears, at high noon on Jan. 20, 2021, if there has not been a new president elected, at that point, Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the House, becomes president of the United States.
“And all of these enablers … at that point would risk committing federal felonies if they were to exercise power which they no longer have because Trump would no longer be president,” he said.
Tribe went on to emphasize that “the default solution in our system is President Nancy Pelosi.”
“You have made, I think, a lot of people’s nights, Laurence Tribe,” Reid said, grinning. “President Pelosi, hmm.”

So, is Tribe right?
The answer reveals the problem with national mail-in voting: maybe, sort of, we don’t know.
First, in terms of Pelosi becoming president in the event of a delayed election: For once, Snopes’ rundown on the matter is pretty accurate. Trump would have to leave office on Jan. 20 — but Pelosi would have to leave earlier, on Jan. 3, as would all 435 members of the House.
Thus, the president would be the president pro-tempore of the Senate, next in line for the office. There would be 65 senators left sitting, a majority of them Democrats. They would likely select a Democrat to fill the Oval Office until the election was held. Of course, as WUSA-TV’s set of constitutional scholars pointed out, state governors could potentially fill those Senate seats.
That’s not going to happen, though, so the question is whether Pelosi would become the president if there were troubles counting mail-in ballots.
The answer, in that case, is a shrug emoji. We don’t know how and when congressional races will be decided. Two Democratic Party primaries for House seats in New York City alone are still being decided — and they took place on June 26.
Laurence Tribe’s answer, in short, isn’t nutty. It’s also not nuanced.
It should give us some of the frightening prospects that an election conducted by national mail-in voting might produce.
And, alas — sorry, Joy Reid, but President Nancy Pelosi probably won’t be happening.
That still doesn’t mean we might be opening Pandora’s Box.

Well despite silencing them out there are quite a few with tenor but are blacklisted “verboten” for sure all across the “Fake News” media to silence any legitimate responses.
WE must get their messages out in any venue possible across the arenas of “inform-ation” as loud as possible thru 11/2020 for they know this is the final war to win ideology…!

Look for the path of least resistance:
If Fingers gets elected, his running mate takes over maybe even before the inauguration. One view of him crying, in diapers, will do it.
Then, if something bad happens to her, prior to a new VP being named? Like, she accidentally hangs herself in the shower, or something?
Nancy, if she still holds the gavel, is your new POTUS.
Much easier and much more likely. Never forget, both Clintons are still out and about. Hillarycide is just an email away. She probably has a few servers in her basement, just for this.

You see my friends, creatures like this so called professor really have the slightest idea what would happento him and his collegues if and when there was a second Civil War or Revolution. He thinks that the like of Nancy Pelosi, Chucky Schumer and their Cabal would be in Charge of the Country. Poor pathetic fool would most likely have to flee to Canada to escape the hangman along with all the other Royalist(Democrats in the country .. Ya see professor We Americans are a strange breed of humanity, we let others people and countries push us around all the time. But when a certain point is reached the reaction is phenomenally terrifying. WE STOMP YOUR ASS INTO THE GROUND !!!! Be careful of what you wish for, for it might not turn out like you’d expect.

As long as people like Laurence Tribe appear influential – especially in hazardous and anxious times, we will experience revivals of anti-Semitism.
Tribe, for all his supposed intelligence, is oblivious to this – and frankly, I would be surprised if he even cared.

Clearly anti-Americans like Traitor-Tribe not only “don’t care” they’re actively working to take “Americ as Founded” down to be replaced with Atheist Marxist socialism under a Globalist NWO run by the UN in a One World Government….been set up to take this nation starting over a 100+yrs ago by other such chameleon socialist’s under Woodrow Wilson + John Dewey…!
All Traitor-Tribe + his ilk are “useful-idiot” shills for this same purpose…!

“WE the (real)People” who stand on OUR 3-Founding documents as Framed can + will only back up so far…!!!
MEANWHILE
Trump must quietly re-acquire ALL themassive amount of military equipment, arms + ammo Obama had illegally distributed thru-out all the *DC unelected (public unionized) Deep-State Globalist agency entity’s…!!!
They all should be divided up and partially given to all (R) Sheriffs and all the rest stored in those counties local temporary armories following what saved Israel seen in the “Old Testament Book of ESTHER”.
On the other hand this mirrors also what was done in the planned Democ-Rat Confederacy by “Secretary of War” Floyd under Globalist bankster President Buchanan as he bankrupted America by 1860 = handing Abe a bankrupt nation + an unCivil War on day one of his innaugauration along with his own 1st assassination attempt on his the way to DC = all paralleling Trumps nonlethal coup …so far….!!!

This is what the riots and violence has been all about. Now they’ve inserted the voter mail ins into the process….which can’t be counted or discounted for months.
They have plotted to find a way to forcibly remove the President from the White House….remember what they said…..”if Trump won’t step down we’ll go in and forcibly drag him from the White House.” They floated the idea of forcibly removing Trump months ago…..ergo, now we have the loons talking about some archaic rule ….and to insure it…. they have started the corrupt voting idea.
All of you are there that think this is a joke or impossible….better be stocking up on ammo….because one way or the other….the violent people in these groups intend to start a civil war.

Yes + Yes tho it’ll be millions of UN CCP “Peacekeepers” already here that’ll be deployed to shut it down.
Soros pd. snowflakes couldn’t mount a successful civil war…!
Sadly OUR Constitutional militias were never fully reconstituted after the unCivil War and was replaced by an unConstitutional “Standing Army” which is now run by Obama appointed Globalist Brass along with a military armed DC unelected Deep-State agency cabal…!
