MSNBC's Morning Joe sounds alarm over GOP's 'clear intent' to steal the 2024 election for Trump

[UCmeNdc]

"Why are they changing election laws in states where Donald Trump won?" Scarborough said. "They're afraid in 2024 he may not do as well, it may get closer and they may need to steal the election. For those of you, again, when you hear about voting reforms, you hear about a lot of the challenges that this country and this democracy is facing, it's so important to look at the two phases these Trump-friendly states are doing."

"The first phase, of course, is putting up roadblocks to prevent [voting], especially for Black voters and other people of color, but even more frightening than that for all Americans is the fact that they're trying to change the rules on the counting of the votes, changing one state legislature after another in Trump-friendly territory is trying to make it so state legislatures can throw out your vote," Scarborough added. "If you don't vote for Donald Trump, if they don't like what your community does or your precinct does or what your state does, these Republican legislatures that are Trumpists are now passing legislation that takes the power away from election officials and takes the power away from secretaries of state and governors."

1. NO Joe... the most dangerous thing about this...

the staggering truth is that they are doing it in the service of a Traitorous CRIMINAL and insane mass murderer who we all, after four long years of his former *residency, know should be in a prison cell, and not the Whitehouse.

THIS is the 911 here! An entire political party is arrayed to allow this to happen!

It is not just TRUMPISTS; IT IS EVREY REPUBLICAN THAT IS SILENT ABOUT THIS!

Collins, Murkowski, Romney, Cheney, Kinsinger,... Beuller...Beuller??????

[Champp]

4. Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!!

[UCmeNdc]

6. Agree 100%

[Texin]

14. I agree. It's not clear to me at this time whether tRump's still got any mojo.

It appears to me he's begun to lose his luster -- after all, he was always fools gold.

[FalloutShelter]

16. I agree.

That makes this Rethug Kabuki all the more dangerous.

Trump is only "running" because the election $$$$$ grift is the only revenue stream remaining for him. His properties are in decline and under investigation on all fronts in the US and in Scotland.

He no more wants the JOB of President than I do, though I would objectively do a better job. Not really, but a horse would do less damage. Maybe the rethugs could run Incatartus.

[Justice matters.]

15. THIS

And HE helped that CRIMINAL almost DAILY for him to get close enough to steal the 2016 election with PUTIN's aid too.

[Mad_Machine76]

22. Exactly

Almost the entire Republican Party is either blackmailed by or in thrall to or afraid of this madman. This madness is not what the future of the GOP, let alone the country should be.

[spanone]

2. We are in deep shit with these ignorant fucks. They are set to steal future elections and will.

[Liberal In Texas]

3. The insurrection didn't end on Jan. 6.

For TFG to stand up in public and outright lie about something as easily provable as the results of the "Fraudit" and not to have a major party disavow it is more than troubling.

[ecstatic]

5. I really don't understand why Democrats aren't taking this more seriously

An infrastructure bill means nothing to me if my basic rights as a US citizen have been stripped.

Our "majority" could be lost at any moment. We're in the middle of a pandemic, we have q-terrorists running amok, and several of our senators are in their late 80s. I don't understand why securing our democracy isn't the FIRST priority.

There's no doubt in my mind that if the situation were reversed, Moscow's bitch would have done EVERYTHING in his power to fix it. I'm disappointed, hurt and angry but still hoping that something will be done soon.

[Boomerproud]

8. I'm constantly amazed at their complacency.

That is from the top down. Are they going to call us Cassandra when it happens?

[spanone]

9. I haven't heard one voice countering TFG's lie from Saturday....

[CrispyQ]

12. +1

Even if they pass these great infrastructure bills, if the Republicans get back in power, they'll undo all of it.

No one can demoralize the dem base better than the Democratic Party.

[doc03]

7. And we have one Senator letting it happen. nt

[kentuck]

10. If you can't win it fairly...

...then steal it legally.

[BradAllison]

11. Geez maybe we should do something about it

But first we have to convince "Moderate" Democrats to vote for a Democratic President's entirely reasonable infrastructure bill.

[uponit7771]

13. Only 64% of democrats believe Voter Suppression is a problem (link)

[Escurumbele]

17. What bothers me the most about all these 2024 talk is the insistence that trump would run in 2024

He should be in jail by them, why insist that the buffoon will be a candidate come 2024? This is pathetic, if this guy is not made to pay for all his crimes prior, during and after his stunt as POTUS then we are in deep shit, there is no other way to say it.

"The Rule of Law" is meaningless, it is just rhetoric if people like the trumps, Giuliani, Hawley, Bannon, and you know the rest, are not made accountable for their crimes...Enough is enough, the buffoon MUST NOT be able to run in 2024, HE and his cronies MUST be in jail.

[yaesu]

18. The flushed turd will always be a problem as long as MSM keeps hin in the news & blogs keep repeatin

that crap.

[PortTack]

19. The Dems in congress have passed another voting rights bill. They are working on a carve out

Or another way around the filibuster to pass voting rights. Why do ppl here keep saying they aren’t working on it. Geez

Quit being arm chair politicians and Support our dem leaders!!

[Mad_Machine76]

23. +1

Didn't Schumer hint at something a week or so ago? I think that they're also busy with the infrastructure bills and they have to do something with the debt ceiling because the Republicans are trying to blow up the country over that too now.

[Ford_Prefect]

20. Well look who just woke up and smelled the covfefe. Where was he when the Tea Party was spawned???

We are soooooo far beyond irony here.
