Schiff Trump’s refusal to commit to peaceful transition shows he is ‘desperate’ and a ‘would-be dictator’

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) swiftly condemned President Trump’s refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose the November election, tweeting, ‘This is how democracy dies.’Trump told reporters on Wednesday afternoon that mail-in ballots are ‘a disaster’ and officials will need to ‘get rid’ of them. Trump has been claiming, without any evidence, that more mail-in ballots being sent due to the coronavirus pandemic will result in a rigged election, and it won’t be in his favor.Schiff tweeted that Trump won’t commit to a peaceful transition because he is ‘so desperate to cling to power,’ and that’s also why he ‘seeks to throw out millions of votes.’ The Republican Party is ‘too craven to say a word,’ he continued, but Americans ‘will fight back.’Schiff later appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show, and said now is the time for ‘all good people of conscious to speak and to act to preserve our democracy, because there is no longer any question about this president’s intentions. His autocratic intentions are as clear as the writing on the wall.’ Trump has ‘so clearly telegraphed his intent’ not to give up power if he loses re-election, and his statements are those of ‘a would-be dictator,’ Schiff said. ‘There’s just no ignoring them anymore. There’s no wishing them away. There’s no pretending he doesn’t mean what he says. There’s too much evidence to the contrary.’Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) also spoke out against Trump’s remarks, although his tweet was milder. ‘Fundamental to democracy is the peaceful transition of power; without that, there is Belarus,’ Romney said. ‘Any suggestion that a president might not respect this constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable.’ Catherine Garcia

    Eaglemoss Graphic Novel Collection #2 Harlan Ellisons The City On The Edge of Forever The Original Teleplay

    In Volume 2, Dr. McCoy accidentally injects himself with an overdose of a hallucinogenic medicine and travels through a portal to the past, causing the whole future to change. Kirk and Spock must f…

    I was unaware of how different the original script was, and judging from Harlan Ellison’s introduction to the book, I can see why he was so consistently unhappy with the story that eventually made it’s way to television. Stories change for TV, we all know that the original script never makes it through the process without being effected by it, but the extent that this story changed is remarkable. Just as remarkable though, is that I’m able to see where it went and why it went there, this original version has only Kirk and Spock in it without any mention of McCoy, then on the planet’s surface this original story has actual Guardians that are walking around and doing things. The broad strokes are still there, time travel, love, death, and tragedy, it’s still a great story with art work that really works.
