    Not a day should go by that the discussion in the public square, in the media, and among ourselves, isn't about the President refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power. No question to a Republican should start without getting a reaction, on the record, about it.

    Seriously, we cannot let this one slide as just another crazy thing the crazy president crazily said because he's a crazy norm-breaking crazy guy. This is beyond norm-breaking or lib-owning. This one should be the red line for even the die-hards. This is the moment.

    BTW, this isn't just the president saying that he won't commit to a peaceful transfer of power. This is the president saying he wants to "get rid of the ballots" so that he wins and so that there is no need transfer power to anyone else.

    "We wanna get rid of the ballots, and we'll have a very peaceful transfer. There won't be a transfer, frankly. There'll be a continuation." A month and a half from the election, this is what the President of the United States is saying from the White House.

    “Even if Mr. Trump leaves office in January, the country is likely to be plagued for years by this delinking of public debate from reality. If he wins, his war against truth surely will escalate.” V-good ⁩ editorial.

    Pathetic. Trump's absolute loyalty to Putin remains unwavering.

    I asked President Trump at the WH who he thinks poisoned Alexei Navaly. After an extended “uhhh,” he replied: “We’ll talk about that at another time."
