US President Joe Biden has said he is not confident there will be a peaceful transition of power if Donald Trump loses the presidential election in November.

"[Trump] means what he says, we don’t take him seriously. He means it, all this stuff about ‘if we lose it will be a bloodbath’.”

Mr Trump’s comment that it would “be a bloodbath for the country” if he loses the election, made as he was talking about the auto industry in March, triggered a wave of criticism.

The Trump campaign, however, said the comment was specifically about the auto industry and had been deliberately taken out of context. It sent a fundraising email which said Trump’s political opponents and others had been "viciously" misquoting him.

lol classic biden

come on joe, it's been established that you can "say it like it is":

trump is going to incite riots and violent insurrection, he's going to demand the military stage a coup, he's going to call for civil war. trump is 100% going to attempt 1/6 ver 2.0 and there isn't a human being over 5 on the planet who doesn't know that to be the case

The one thing I am fairly certain about though is that, assuming riots like that are happening in D.C., Biden will not hesitate to send out forces to stop it. Trump could have but didn't want to.

There might be a few more Ashley Babbits this time.

My dad tried to talk about how "they just killed her" a while back...

I was like: they gave her a lawful order. She was literally breaking into one of the most secure facilities in the world. She saw the trained men with the loaded firearms pointed at her and proceeded to move through a broken down door..

And then don't forget that oath... From all threats foreign and domestic.. she was a domestic threat. And the agent removed that threat.

Shut him right up.

These idiots want to fafo? I hope dark Brandon is waiting for them.

And she had military training and knew exactly what orders that guy had, so she knew it was going to happen, she was just betting that they wouldn't dare or that their group of insurrectionists would overpower them. But she failed on every count and paid with her life.

It's not just a lawful order though. Let me handcuff you is also a lawful order. They warned her, and everyone else at that door, that it was off limits and they would shoot.
