Trump tries to do illegal shit every 10 minutes
As Legal Eagle did a video on it, his care for it being legal seems to be little to nothing at all. GL HF
Aren’t the state’s responsible for running the election system?
Yes, until the Scabrous SCROTUS says the president is as well.
Yes
Democrats are currently furrowing their brows, drafting stern letters, and making appeals to norms and traditions.
What do you need to do?
This EO has all of the legal weight of a blog post.
Article 4 Section 1
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
The only groups that have power over elections is the State and Congress.
Trump can draft an EO declaring himself king of mars. He can write anything in an EO, he’s the E. A state can simply ignore it, it has no chance of surviving a motion for a TRO.
they got to ride that thin line of not alienating the fence sitters of genocide and not genocide, and still pretend to care to feed their vote blue no matter who base
Elections are 100% controlled by the states, there is nothing they can do to force states to comply with this stupid shit. Trump is an utter fucking moron.
Trump can make all the lists he wants, he doesn’t get to say shit about how the states run their elections or decide whether or not he accepts their results. Those results are officially certified by the electors of each state and Congress counts the electoral votes, NOT Trump. Federal office holders cannot be electors.
We literally had an attempted coup on Jan 6th 2020 to prevent those electors from doing their jobs. They were unsuccessful.
Nailed it. And to quibble, Jan 6th 2021 :)
Being technically right the the best kind of right.
If you’re a registered Democrat, you’re going to get a late night visit from ICE.
castle doctrine gonna suck for ice
Own a modern firearm to shoot fascists foot soldiers, as the founding fathers intended…
Fuck that we tally ho.
They are not prepared to deal with cannons. Or revolutionary war recreationists
States rights blah blah blah right?
Federal elections, instead of state elections?
So that means no more electoral college, right? Right?
FUCK YOU RAPIST
Goddamn I want to leave this country, but no one wants immigrants from the US and I don’t blame them
I definitely get and feel similarly, and I guess this aint a bright spot but unless things change drastically and rapidly so there are very few places on the planet that will be able to serve as a refuge for the pain coming over the next few years. The best we can all hope for is that the US collapses rapidly before the technofeudalists and christofascists can further cement control
The only country I can easily emigrate to is arguably worse. Which is doubly sucky
As I’ve said, many a time, once dictatorship’s instantiated, he’ll not just remove the vote from all non-Republicans, he’ll de-naturalize all non-Republicans, then they can be ICE’d…
making it criminal to do ANY trade with “illegals”/woke.
I found out that he & Miller had a 1-MILLION deportations quota on ICE, for their 1st year…
You’re too far in nazi territory, when you’re doing that kind of shit … there’s no pretending that away, any more than there’s any pretending-away Israel’s admission that it’s annexing territory from Lebanon, once it’s got Hamas controlled/down…
Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Millei… same fundamental-values, they’re demonstrating…
& the fools who are “certain” that social-pressure will prevent the tippingpoint from being crossed…
…solving the wrong problem, while helping the enemy that is walking our world into its “secondary-crime-scene”, for our world’s butchery…
The Great Filter’s actual! This century is it…

Lmaoo I never thought of the Great Filter as a political thing potentially, I always thought of it as a technological thing like industrialization or disease or something. Interesting
States are well within their power to ignore most of this. They don’t answer to the executive branch.
The elephant in the room is him ordering the postal service not to deliver ballots from people not on the federal approved voter list. The postal service isn’t state ran. Trump doesn’t have direct control over who the post master is, but the board that selects the post master is mostly empty seats so I guess he could flood it with sycophants with support from congress and appoint a new post master if this one puts up any resistance.
It also seeks to bar the U.S. Postal Service from sending absentee ballots to those not on each state’s approved list.
Legal experts noted other potential flaws with the order. David Becker, a former Justice Department lawyer who leads the Center for Election Innovation and Research, said the Postal Service is run by a board of governors [not state governors] and the president has no power to tell it what mail it can and cannot deliver.
A spokesperson for USPS said Tuesday the agency will review the order. Trump has sought to bring the independent agency under more presidential control, proposing to fold it under the Commerce Department — whose secretary, Howard Lutnick, was on hand for Tuesday’s signing.
Fuck, this whole scenario is going to end in a lot of violence isn’t it…
50% of the boys and men in Germany were dead at the end of WW2
Our only possible way out right now is if he dies. Soon.
