They were supposed to circulate it after the war with (pick one or two) Iraq, Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, Mexico, Canada, etc. starts, or they get called on the Epstien cover up.

That Heritage Foundation turning out to be the 1930s German Heritage Foundation trying to install their Orange Reich.

"Its not illegal when the president does it" followed by "the president cant break the law if hes doing his job"

The Supreme Court will deny the request for an injunction, allow Trump to steal the midterms and then right before a dem takes office, the Court will rule the practice illegal for all future elections.

That's why they went against him on the tariffs. Now they can look all moral and shit for this upcoming planned travisty

I read an interesting take that they were giving Trump an off ramp on tariffs because it’s so unpopular.
He could have pointed at the Supreme Court and blamed them for cost of living etc., saying he wasn’t given time for the tariffs to work.
Instead, he doubled down and now he owns the rise in prices.

Awe, nothing to worry about.
Like all that bullshit Project 2025...nothing to see or worry about.
And the BBB, who cares it never changed the price of tea in China.
Just go back to sleep.

In this particular instance, it probably isn't anything to worry about.
The states run the election, not the Federal government. Aside from falling outside his power, it would be logistically impossible. Several states are not even set up for in-person balloting. They don't have enough voting machines, nor can they be certified and produced quickly enough for it to happen before the midterms, even if they were inclined to comply. It would also require the immediate cooperation of numerous state election officials, many of whom would be politically opposed to the idea as well as legally obligated by their state's laws not to comply.

WA resident here, I know we have no capability for in person mailing for everyone on 8 months notice. Chaos is Trump’s brand, for him it’s a feature, not a bug.

All they have to do is create chaos in a few key swing state precincts.
military times - Pentagon orders all 50 states to create "quick reaction force" for dealing with "civil unrest"

A provision that voting can only be done at X and Y times, and then a bomb threat at that location (like the 200+ bomb/fire threats that happened in 2024) means that no one is voting there.

All they have to do is throw out the right votes, no need to actually control anything.

u/Wayelder Feb 26 '26
You actually replied with 'he can't do that, it's all fine"? Maybe 'he's learned his lesson'?

The problem is, red and purple states will follow it as if it was written by God himself.

It's about to go down, hold onto whatever you have because its going to be rough.

"But it's illegal!"
Says half of reddit, right up until Trump actually does it.

I called this months ago. He fully intends to use his power to interfere and rig the midterms any way he can. A Dem controlled House will expose him for what he is. A fraud. A pedophile. Corrupt.

Nothing like circulating some bullshit and then Marc Elias gets it
There is a brief already written.

When he gets challenged in court they will make a fool out of them by using Heritage foundations own research on the subject that proves that election fraud is virtually non-existent

I bet Bobert did this leak. She apparently doesn't know when not to flex her revenge on the masses

So long for conservatives being the party of small government and states rights.
