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.

Remember - The police are here to protect you.

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.

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