There's no such thing as bipartisanship in the Cult of Trump.

Anyone caught trying to interfere in the midterm elections should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Of course, that supposes that will be any laws left by the time we get to November.

Well, there you go. Trump wants his own people to "certify" election equipment and to remove anyone already familiar with that process.

Could this imply Trump has specific machines in mind?

This speaks to a man attempting to steal an election.

If this happened anywhere else in the world there would be international election inspectors at the next elections.

I'm old enough to remember when a federal takeover of elections would have been met with calls for 2A solutions to overcome the "tyranny."

Now, those same people will probably volunteer to use their 2A rights to help "secure" the elections.

MAGA idiots have always been the biggest source of danger for tyranny and loss of our Constitutional rights. They're showing it here.

Oh, hell. We knew at the time that these people were loud-mouthed cowards.

When a fully fascist government finally comes for their guns, I imagine we would get a few Alamo-like situations in which the government burns down the resisting residences and allows the defenders to simply roast alive without scoring a shot.

The rest of these peckerwooods are just going to give up their guns.

"----------" that's a word I haven't heard in a long time!

Trump is a chaos agent that was elected by people that hate the federal government. How is what he's doing a shock? They love it.

"Independent", you keep using that word. But I don't believe you know what it means.

But as to the subject of the thread,
He fired those three members of that commission?

I predict that is just the beginning .

Change was needed.

The parasitic elite obviously require more direct intervention.

AIPAC "donates" more than their Congressional pay.

Did the Pentagon just announce budget failures?

So curious, we don't even have ONE audit, but it's worth ignoring all social safety needs to keep that funnel greased.

"It's a Patent office", riiiiiiight.

Muchas gracias to Visitor in #11 for proving what I said in #1:

If Dems gain a majority in fhe House, I predict Mike Johnson will refuse to seat them, claiming fraud and promising an "investigation" first.
Our country has failed, due in large part to Trump and the bootlickers in Congress who are all too willing to let it burn.

We're $40 trillion in debt. That's a budget failure. Hasn't stopped Trump's decorating.

That's exactly what I would do if I was looking to rig elections.

The elections are rigged.

Trump is making sure of it.

I know! Trump is such a hard-worker, some might say he's the hardest.

"An auditor came up to me, big strong auditor, tears streaming from teeny tiny glasses, saying "Sir, your work is hard. Can't you give us a break?! We can't keep up!"

Remember Lucky Larry Silverstein dissecting the twin towers insurance into two 2001 events to try and double his return? He couldn't settle for billions until 2007! Patience is hard work!

Several presidents pass through the oval office and not one takes on the corruption because the "fix" was getting them elected in the first place.

I have no confidence that democracy is alive.

This feels like a long, long descent.
