President Biden said he is “not confident at all” that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025 if former President Donald Trump is defeated.
“He means what he says. We don’t take him seriously. He means it. All the stuff about 'If we lose, there’ll be a bloodbath, it’ll have been a stolen [election],'” Mr. Biden told CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa in his first sit-down interview since announcing he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination. The interview will air on “CBS News Sunday Morning” on Sunday, Aug. 11.
“Look what they’re trying to do now in the local election districts where people count the votes,” said Mr. Biden. Repeating a familiar maxim about elections and democracy, the president said, “You can’t love your country only when you win.”
I wonder if someone in power could perhaps do something about that, Joe? Maybe the president or someone like that?
I’m sure he will, this is more to prepare public when they will need to shut them down.
Fortunately, he won’t be in power if he loses, so his expected Joe Six-pack rioters won’t have the federal government backing them up this time.
If only he had access to the largest police and surveillance apparatus in the history of ever. Maybe he could, y’know, prevent the inevitable bullshit and bloodletting.
Trumps lies about 2020 were such outrageous bullshit anyway, there wasn’t a single solitary shred of a molecule of truth in any of it. ZERO TOLERANCE, ZERO PATIENCE for that fucking guy and his inevitable bullshit parade.
Fool me once . . . shame on . . . shame on you . . fool me twice . . Y- . . Y’can’t get fooled again.
largest police and surveillance apparatus
Who do you think the people who want to use violence to overthrow the election are?
We all know Trump won’t accept the results. He didn’t in 2020, and in 2016 he claimed it was still rigged against him even when he won.
It’s really weird when you think about it.
Umm what does trump have to do with the transfer of power if he does not win? What’s he gonna do? He has no power.
Fake electors, compromised voting officials, and likely another terrorist attack.
He has no power?
He has a fucking rabid cult of gun toting neonazis he has been stoking another insurrection to for years. Which is Biden’s point here.
Oh please try with guns. Those people need deleted.

See, this is how smart it was Biden not running again.
I completely forgot he existed, and has just been chugging along doing president things.
not to mention he flubbed even this question. he said if he wins first, then corrected himself to say loses. I’m so glad he’s not on the ticket anymore.
This is probably in prep for shutting shit down. If you start warning people now, it’ll be “I told you they were gonna wild out, and we’re handling it” not “release the rabid dogs on the opposing party”.
It doesn’t matter. The vp has the ability to arbitrarily change the election outcome. RIGHT DONNIE?
Maybe we should have given harsher punishments to the people who tried doing that the first time around?
Why are you trying to make elections political?
That’s pretty difficult if the fucking supreme court is literally by people who support the MAGA rioters
I mean, look at Germany. Not punishing the Nazis harder the first time worked out so well [in hindsight]
Luckily we can learn from their mistakes and…
Wait…
Shit.
Maybe if we had an Attorney-General who did things other than try to ensure he gets into nice country clubs we’d do something about this.
Too bad.
Well, you’re the boss. Prepare for what you expect, and lock the rioters up.
I understand Joe Biden here.
So another attack on the Capitol, ha. Handle it better at least, Joe

Wikipedia about this sourceNobody invited you, everyone hates you, please go the fuck away. In b4 my comment gets removed for being “uncivil” toward a bot.
Just block it, damn
If I block it, I can’t downvote it.
It’s literally an advertisement for a paid news website. Why is it allowed to spam every news post with ads?
The fact that it also provides some lawyer’s heavily-biased opinion on the bias of news sources is moot. This is 100% an underground advertising campaign for a paid service.
When I saw how they rated Wonkette.com, that was about as much as I needed to know, LOL.
Just out of curiosity (and my own laziness) can you share how they rated Wonkette? (It’s like rating The Onion, I would guess. How& why do they rate that?
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/wonkette/
Overall, we rate Wonkette as strongly left-biased based on story selection and opinions that always favor the left and denigrate the right. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting because satire is mixed with factual news, which is misleading.
Yeah, I think Wonkette is meant to be satire first, and news second. It’s like the Daily Show. It uses news as a basis for jokes.
i’m reminded of the old reddit days, where i saw way more people complaining about reposts in every single thread than i saw actual reposts
The real reposts were the people complaining about reposts the whole time.
I think the problem you would have is calling the bot a bot. Calling out bots is uncivil, and the bot that looks for the word bot will let you know that you used the word bot.
I swear to god, I’m going to pistol whip the next guy who says “bot.”
Hey Farva. What’s that gross type of fly that lays eggs in your skin?
You mean a bot?!
You’re talking about a bot, right?!
Jesus, could everyone please stop using the B-word?
There once was a bard with a knack,
For writing b-words back-to-back.
His bouncy, bold ballads,
Like Sir Bacon’s word salads,
Had the brutish boors taken aback.
Non-human autonomous online programmed agent…

The bot was implemented by lemmy.world admins in conjunction with support from the moderators of News, Politics, and World News.
So, yeah, it was invited, not everyone hates it.
How much is Ground News paying lemmy.world for the advertising?
None, it is not a paid advert.
