Top left hat. I don’t think he cares much about the constitution.
Is that Zelenskyy there? Imagine having to meet with this pompous asshole in the WH and be forced to stand there and “admire” his fucking stupid old man hat collection.
It’s not a collection. It’s a grift shop. There are multiples of each item. Look at the shelves on the right too. There are stacks of books to be sold.
It’s not a collection. It’s merch.
Yes, that’s Zelenskyy in black.
Oh no, not blasted!
OK, but elections are run by states, not the federal government, and the GOP has worked to defang the FEC, so I don’t know how he actually plans to make this happen.
When has that ever stopped him
When is he gonna announce they’re doing away with voting altogether?
He kinda did during campaign, told his voters they wouldn’t have to do it again, just get him back in one more time. Of course our diligent 4th estate unleashed the hounds demanding answers to what he meant by that…yeah jk they ignored it like everything else he’s done in order to help usher in fascism.
I’m baffled that Trump keeps being allowed to get away with this shit. The Heritage Foundation outright announced the plan for fascism and it’s just being allowed to happen. Whenever Trump does something outrageous, I see people saying there would be consequences if anyone else did it. But why then does he get away with it? What makes him different than anyone else?
It’s a dare for US citizens all over the world! Do you dare travel ‘home’ and face ICE to vote ?? /s
/s
Not really. This is very likely part of the plan.
Yep. Hard to intimidate voters when your thugs can’t get face to face with them at the polls.

Except voting days are during the work week and the majority of the voting population can’t afford to miss work to “bloody well queue up”. Restricting mail in voting is voter suppression in this country.
Why the fuck do you care if someone stood in line to vote anyways?

If you don’t live here, why would you comment about how we vote? Voicing your opinion on a topic that you “don’t really care” about is meaningless at best and harmful at worst. If we were anything alike you’d recognize that, and you’d be advocating for more access and methods for voting, not less.
If you don’t live here, why would you comment about how we vote?
Because America has stuck its fingers in the business of every other country.
How you Americans vote impacts the rest of the world.
And in the case of your current federal government, we are being impacted especially negatively. (As are you guys, but shooting yourselves in the foot is less of a concern to me than the fact that the stray bullets are flying past my head)
Sure but when I comment about Canadian politics, I do a some preliminary research to understand the baseline facts and context before commenting, something this user clearly did not before making a flippant and asinine remark backed up by nothing.
Then more people from all over the world should be encouraging Americans to push for more mail-in voting (and other expanded voting options). Not telling people to “bloody well queue up”.
Dont forget gerrymandering as well, where they put the ballot 50 miles away from your location, so that is convenient for republicans, but almost unaccessible for Democrats
Well if this isn’t a dumb ass comment but hell, go ahead and provide your reasoning for standing in line for hours.
I can list off all of the reasons why the majority of states, including dumb as red states, have no excuse mail in voting.
- Proven increase in voter participation
- Reduction in fraud due to multiple layers of checks and additional time for reviews
- Reduces the cost of having polling stations and workers
- Produces a more informed voting base.
Also, my favorite little tidbit about mail in voting:
The conservative Heritage Foundation, which has warned of the risks of mail voting, found 14 cases of attempted mail fraud out of roughly 15.5 million ballots cast in Oregon since that state started conducting elections by mail in 1998.
But no, really, go ahead and provide your, I’m sure, well reasoned and researched stance on requiring “bloody well queue up”.
The man’s very existence is unconstitutional. He cares not a whit for constitutionality and neither do his enablers
But online voting won’t be touched?
I think online voting is not available in most states. Without looking it up, I think Oregon or Utah is the only state that allows it.
Edit : Most states have it for overseas or for people on military deployment. A handful of states have it for people with disabilities.
For the 679th time.
What are you going to do about it, Keep bleating that its illegal, while they laugh , do it, and secure more power?
I’m gonna post about. I’m gonna post the hell out of it.
Yeah, well, an absolute shit-ton of what that dipshit has done has been blasted as unconstitutional and very little of has managed to be stopped, so you’ll forgive me if I just don’t give a shit how “blasted” his actions get if there’s no actual meaningful impact to them seeing fruition that comes from it.
Cool. Elections are administered by the states though, and my state guarantees mail-in ballots in the constitution. Sooooo, good luck with that, I suppose?
If the Save act goes through I don’t see how they couldn’t do similar with this. I imagine the argument would be the same, that they are not taking the administration of the voting away from the states, just setting a standardized required method. I don’t think he’d be able to do it via executive order legally, but I dont know who would stop it. He could just have the house/Senate pass it like the save act if they so wanted. Your state constitution doesn’t matter at that point. We like to say it’s a free country but it took us 4 amendments just to get to a point that still basically says our people don’t have the right to vote.
The constitution didn’t have a right to vote.
The bill of rights didn’t have a right to vote.
The 15th amendment (1870) said we can’t restrict voting based off Race.
The 19th amendment (1920) said we can’t restrict voting for women.
The 24th Amendment (1964) said we can’t restrict the voting by taxing polls.
The 26th Amendment (1971) said we can’t restrict voters over 18 (previously 21).
Most people think this means all those people have a right to vote, but it is really the government doesn’t have the ability to explicitly restrict those people from voting.
If U.S. citizens had the right to vote none of those amendments would have been necessary and we would be free to vote and our arguments would hold up in court easier. But the U.S. has long perpetuated the lie that we are free. We are a “democratic Republic” where the government can, has, and will try to restrict our freedom at every turn if it benefits those in power.
Tldr; If U.S. citizens had a right to vote, we wouldn’t have had amendments, the Supreme Court would have ruled a long time ago that any act restricting U.S. citizens from voting was illegal.
The ‘if’ in ‘if the SAVE Act goes through’ is doing a lot of work. The recent bill that was passed was only able to be done through budget reconciliation, because you only need 50 votes plus the VP to break the tie. But for bills outside of budget reconciliation, you need 60 votes to end the filibuster. Barring anything unforeseen (recognizing that breaking norms is the norm for this administration), there’s no way I could see it getting through the Senate.
OH NO! Here comes a strong letter
I can see Schumer drafting one up now.
Worst bait ever lmaoooo. Feds don’t run elections, states do.
Until the feds show up with armed troops, and “manage” the election.
Yeah… then the governor can roll out the NG and counter them. It’ll be a huge fucked up mess.
You mean like how they are doing it now, to counter the unconstitutional actions of the federal government today?
Release the Trump/Epstein files
