The president has never said that he will not participate in a peaceful transition of power.

I’ve not seen any report that he made a statement affirming that he would not peacefully transfer power.

As I’ve seen it reported, he “failed to commit to a peaceful transfer of power.” (Is this inaccurate?) Failing to commit is not a declaration of participating or not participating.

I didn’t think the question was accusatory. In the congressional hearings, questions of this form are frequently presented. In the many technology hearings (there have been hearing with Apple, Google, Twitter, and Facebook in the last year) representatives from the company are asked if they will commit to something or another. Sometimes the answer is yes, but not always. When the answer is not a yes there has been a statement to go along with it.

We now have a president making openly authoritarian statements. How did it come to this? And why does anyone support it?

Thank you for recognizing the truth of what was said and what was NOT said in this situation.

If you would take the time to actually read the article rather than buy into the lies you may find truth. Check out what @ThinkingSapien said in the post above yours.

I think those two questions are intertwined, that some of what we have come to is the result of previous actions being tolerated, defended, and protected. With a bit a condemnation from his supporters he might be motivated to make the commitment.

Off topic, Bill Maher had said that he bets Trump 1,000,000 USD that if Trump looses the election, that Trump will not leave the office peacefully (October 18, 2019). I wonder if Trump were to loose, would he take Bill up on that bet. Trump earlier tried to take Maher to court to get a prize when Maher said that he would pay for proof that Trump was not the son of an Orangatang.

BTW: I want to point out this entire discussion is hypothetical. IF he looses after Election month (as we may not know the results the day after election day) then that may be the time to have the less hypothetical discussion about it.

Russia interference has been proven by the federal government. It is a non-partisan issue. Folks need to stop fooling themselves.
 
@Horton what did I get wrong in the account? Is he not making openly authoritarian comments, and if he hasn’t (if he’s being misconstrued somehow), would you condemn him for it if he did make authoritarian comments?

Added: which article are you referring to? The Guardian one? I did read it (it’s only two paragraphs and seems like a summary) and still don’t see what you’re disputing?

Collusion with American citizens is a different issue. The fact is that Russians tried to influence American elections to aid Trump. Government security officials all admit this.

Its time to let go charges of hoax. The Russian effort was and is real.

" WASHINGTON — Russia is using a range of techniques to denigrate Joseph R. Biden Jr., American intelligence officials said Friday in their first public assessment that Moscow continues to try to interfere in the 2020 campaign to help President Trump."

You’d have to include the American government’s intelligence organizations in that assessment of error.

Those who push the Russian hoax have done more damage to the US than the Russians could have dreamed of.
 
What exactly are the facts of the Russia hoax, in your opinion?
