Donald Trump’s campaign strategist for his 2016 election win says: “I believe we will have a national emergency declared by late August,” ahead of the Congressional midterm elections due on November 3. “You will have enough evidence by mid-August to show that we have a massive problem” of election fraud, he tells me in an interview. Trump’s televised address to the nation on Thursday last week was the beginning of the process, he says.
The president declassified documents, which he claimed show “shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure” revealed by the 2020 election.
These had been hidden, even from him, by a “deep state” conspiracy of US intelligence services, he posited.
Trump demanded that the Congress pass a bill called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE, Act. The bill stipulates that all voters produce a passport or birth certificate to be eligible to vote. Democrats denounce it as an effort at mass disenfranchisement. The Brennan Centre for Justice at New York University estimates that it could block 21 million Americans from the ballot box.
Under the US Constitution, it’s the states, not the federal government, that run elections. The SAVE Act would force state governments to hand voter roll information to Washington.
Trump sent his Homeland Security Secretary, Markwayne Mullin, out the following morning to issue a threat to state officials: they could face prison time unless they followed the administration’s orders to remove non-citizens from rolls.
Americans, where is your outrage??
we’re too tired, poor, sick and shitting ourselves. oh, and convinced the problem is the immigrants or homeless or brown or trans folks.
So 350 million pussies. Got it.
I guess masturbating over your 2nd amendment was just noise this whole time.
349 million pussies! Leave Luigi out of this!
that’s been the plan all along; from the ones in washington to the capitalists helping because a shit population helps them, too. we’ll sadly never have an actual revolutionary solution to this shit.
I feel like my outrage fuse broke the first time he was elected.
We’re waiting for the Midterm Election. Once that’s over, and the Dems have taken over Congress on a bloodbath, we’ll release our outrage.
We won’t be electing the same loser weenies we elected last time, who absolutely REFUSED to hold MAGA accountable, and then helped them get back on their feet and steal the election again. The next Dem Congress will be angry, and seeking to punish MAGAs for the corruption and treason.
How I wish what you’re saying will turn out to be true.
Yet, most I’ve seen from U.S. Dems is some fancy dressing for Donnie’s address to Congress, some sad letters by Schumer, and Newsom trolling MAGA on Xitter. If this is all U.S. Dems have after YEARS of possible preparation, this revolution will be little more than a fart in the wind.
Half the problem is that Dem voters give their leaders permission to do nothing. Before they’ve even taken back power, they are are already saying “It doesn’t matter, they never do anything to help us anyway.”
How about telling them: " We’re going to give you another shot, but we’re going to elect warriors this time. You better help them fight, or we’re coming after YOU, too."
