It doesn't matter. This is going to be like 2020, where the outrage was so strong that it overwhelmed all their cheating schemes. That's why he's so fixated on that race. He knows he cheated, and should have won. If Biden won, it can only mean that he must have cheated worse, so if he can find evidence of Dem cheating, it will be end of the Dems, and MAGA will be in power forever.

He can't possibly believe that Biden had that many legal votes, because them he'd have to believe that he's hated that much, and he thinks people love him.

It's how a dumb 9 year-old thinks, but that's Trump.

If Trump tries to invoke national security to take over federal elections, it would shatter precedent and could set off lawsuits and protests across the country

Oh no... not lawsuits and protests! That will spell doom for him. No way he could ever recover from that.

We need to all be eyeing the break glass solution: a general strike. If Trump subverts the elections, then we turn off the economy until fair elections are held.

Trump always lies about his accomplishments. He never lies about what he wants to do.

Just so we are clear, taking acts to directly impede the democratic process across the country.

That's High Treason, right?

If someone openly talks about plotting to commit crime, something should be done to stop them

it would shatter precedent and could set off lawsuits

Lawsuits would be useless at that point, absolute performance theater.

How are you all feeling about Democratic Socialist Francesca Hong's last second loss to Crowley in the Wisconsin primary after five USBs had the "wrong info" and a huge vote dump at the end to give the establishment Dem the win despite trailing massively? Myself, I'm of the opinion we can't trust our elections

Time to prepare for mass protests. Completely surround the White House if he does that.

This was the plan since day 1. Don’t act surprised now or when there are armed men at polling stations on Election Day.

He has a compulsion to brag about his crimes.

is it time that the UN starts to talk about putting [armed?] observers on the ground to make sute that the elections are not tampered with, like they do for other 3rd world countries?

As a former National Guard officer I am concerned that the Guard will be turned on us and most of the Guardsman will not push back. I live in the South and I know most of the state governors will do nothing. I hope the blue state governors do something. I hope the Guardsman remember their oath. I am not hopeful. Prepare for the worst.

Ceuta in Spain was just a trial to see how fired up would be the public reaction. They managed to organize 60,000 young men to crush the border in Spain.

While trump is not in great terms with Mexico gov, he’s certainly in good terms with other fascists in South America. If he pull out something like this on the US land border 2x 3x times bigger would be enough for him to declare national security emergency.

News at 6: Trump and his Heritage Foundation pals do more illegal shit with zero repercussions.

Establishment politicians: We fOlLow the LawS, dRasTic mEasUrEs are AntI-aMeRicAn!

Trump and Co.:

He can try, states are going to vote though.

America held elections during the literal civil war, we can hold elections while an orange vapor balloon tried to fat on them.

We just need everyone to see what’s going on and overcome fear. Once people hear about this nonsense I expect any remaining people that aren’t awake yet but can be reached will wake up and they won’t tolerate it.

“Let me just say stranger things have happened, okay? I’ll leave it at that,” Trump said.

I’d love to hear some specifics. I doesn’t feel like things have ever been this crazy.

The Antichrist who hates America and is raping children while stealing billions doesn’t want to be held accountable? Crazy!

This isn't shocking and has been floated around the real question how will people respond to it. It doesn't help they gave him that semi king status where anything as a Presidential act is fine to do.

He isn’t ‘mulling’ it or even considering it, it’s already set into motion. They’re going to steal the midterms. Everybody knows except for the American people it seems who will gladly except their already shithole country will become that even more

Is there any legal precedent for what happens when would-be voters are detained in front of polls by federal agents for bullshit reasons that definitely have nothing to do with their voter registration? If not, I'm sure there will be.

The surest way to turn a +/- 2 Talarico electorate into a 5-6 point Talarico win is to openly try and fuck with the election.

Even in Texas. Even when (some of) the Republicans are as corrupt as god makes politicians, including the candidate and their governor. Turns out, it's a lot harder to propagandize people in the middle of the bullshit you're pulling.

Incidentally, that's why some of your Republican friends and family are at their most reasonable immediate after something happens. They haven't received their lines yet, and the feelings of the story are still their primary decision drivers.

C'mon father time! What the hell is keeping you. And bring your friend with the scythe.
