October Surprise?

So, I keep hearing about an "October Surprise" that will drastically affect the election. How about this for a series? One, the Longshoremen go on strike. Two, a week or so before the election, things start getting worse. Three, there's no end to the strike. Four, whoever's pulling the strings gets Buydem to declare something akin to martial law, somehow inferring that we can't hold the election because of the strike. Five, this country becomes one huge shithole over the next year or two.

Maybe that's the tinfoil hat talking, but it sure looks to me like it's the perfect opportunity for our not-so-illustrious government to do something to completely upend the election -process.

    Another scenario is that of Trump getting assassinated before Nov 5. Would that enable Vance to be the candidate for Prez? To my knowledge, there is not a precedent for this. But it is a valid question.

    I remember thinking on July 13th that the assassination attempt was a maneuver right before the RNC Convention when the ticket would be officially set. And with Vance as VP.

    And what about a successful assassination of Trump if he does win and before "Jan 6" 2025 when certification would actually be delayed?

    Bingo. Rather than piss and moan about being "disenfranchised" (whatever the hell that means), get off your ass and follow the damn rules.

    Russia doesnt want nuclear WW3- doesnt benefit them at all to turn russia into a modern day chernobyl.

    China might take over Taiwan, but wont gain anything really s Taiwan would be destroyed.

    Israel and the middle east keeps the arabs quiet, fighting the jews. Nicler waar there wouldnt do anything.

    EMP attack on USA woul render USA powerless for a long time. Likely to happen.

    I think she WANTS a quick election, with all the provisional ballots pushing her over the top. Why ANYONE in their right mind would actually vote for her to run the country totally escapes me. She has not idea what to do.

    I think the other countries would NOT want nuclear WW3. Biden/Harris wants regular wars to repay their donors' promises. They want wars somewhere else, not in the USA. Look at the slow progression of Unraine and middle east wars. Israel could just nuke Iran and be done with it for a LONG time, but they dont.

    I agree totally. Otherwise, elections are a waste of time and dont mean anything. Check out "provisional ballots" to see what a farce it is already

    The deep state relies on the willingness of the sheep to do everything they are told. That willingness is very fragile when the left goes bananas

    There will certainly be an October surprise to give Kamala a boost. Plus the "provisional ballots" will put her over the top (look that one up to see how bad it is." The longshoremen strike will add to the inflation, but probably not fast enough to affect the election.

    I don't know, it's not a bad prediction but there is way too much evidence 2020 was rigged and J6 was staged, there is no way America should lay down and let it happen like South America, Great Britain.

    That's what you get from the media today, both sides lie, and manipulate polls. Polls are useless when it's so close. The left even manipulates voting counts as to win, no matter what the perception polls indicate. i understand they are short of poll workers, and the job pays $200 a day. I think it would behoove the right to provide an honest election poll worker to every vote counting location.

    Point of interest: Back in the day, both the "D's" and the "R's" attempted to recruit Eisenhower to run under their ticket before he announced his affiliation with the "R's".

    There is no election process anymore. Fake polls, mail-in ballots that dissappear or multiply, no exit polling of any consequence to have an idea of irregularities, and anyone who suggests that the elections are not 100% fair and legitimate is immediately skewered as a conspiracy theorist whack-job. The difference between the US and Russia is that the elite have agreed to take turns in the US.

    Elections should be held on one day, with no mail-in ballots, and no early or late voting, show your ID at your designated polling place, period.

    Part of the army will have its hands full protecting the guilty in D.C. and state capitals from the rest of the army.

    I'd say that I'm probably over 50% on the chance that the government will find a way to stop the election process. They are that desperate about not letting Trump take office. Would they let the world enter total chaos that involves the deaths of millions of people? .....Of course they would.

    Because all voting is super local. I doubt that they can come up with a "good enough" excuse to stop the voting from happening. It would literally have to be a NATIONWIDE BLACKOUT. And the ANSWER to that PREVENTING the election...

    SHOULD BE those in power, step down, and award the race to Trump so he can get the lights turned back on.

    But I 100% expect them to set the place on Fire when they lose, before they exit. It's what they do!

    Well, here's the thing: the Liberals have zero compunctions about accusing Trump of what THEY really want to do, and even crazier things than that. I heard No-Joy Behar say that Trump was going to jail all comedians. That's just crazy and I guarantee he never intimated any such of a thing. I mean, why would he? (In addition - it's hilarious to think she fancies herself as a "comedian?" Get real, Joy.)

    So you think that Dems wouldn't arrange for Biden to not wake up? He's already half-dead. You don't think that she wouldn't pronounce Martial law? I no longer think that there is a step too far.

    But I do sincerely hope that you are right (and I agree that it's UNLIKELY, but I don't consider it impossible.)

    They can't invoke Martial Law and cancel the election...Kamelips couldn't be elected, then. The only option would be for Biden to not wake up, before November, and make her president, immediately.

    Then SHE could pronounce Martial Law to stop the election.

    However...none of this will actually come to pass.

    Can not imagine things being so disrupted in the US that an election can not be held AND the present admin maintaining power. HOWEVER, in such a case, I will be happy as a clam that my house will not be overrun by anything short of an Army platoon.
