So we all get it. It's another ginned-up emergency

[bigtree]

Congress and the courts are refusing to give Trump what he wants, so he’s concocting a new plan to seize control of the election. Here’s what you need to know:

__The order Trump’s election denier buddies are pushing would use the supposed China emergency as the reason to declare yet another national emergency. The Post’s reporting suggests they will claim that permits them to “mandate voter ID, ban mail ballots, and change voting machines in November’s midterm elections.” How convenient—all the stuff they want to do, but can’t, because the law doesn’t permit it or Congress won’t pass laws authorizing it, tied up with a nice, neat bow into another one of those “uh oh—emergency, so I can claim extraordinary powers” executive orders Trump has become so fond of using.

The reality is that the president lacks constitutional authority to control elections. The Constitution gives that authority to the states. Even if Trump declared another national emergency, there is no basis for the assertion it would permit him to seize control of the elections. All this plot shows is that Trump lacks confidence in his party’s ability to win the midterm elections.

Pro-voter lawyers will go to court if Trump tries to implement this kind of desperate attempt to rig the election. And they will win

1. We are witnessing the very reason the founders gave the authority to

conduct elections to the states. It was precisely so that no yahoo charlatan like Trump could rig them for himself.

2. Yes, nail-head meet hammer.

We are under a regime controlled by a psychopath who has been getting away with lying and doing whatever the hell he wants his entire life.
We are living the reality of his dark personality and character.

3. Straight out of a tyrant's playbook

and it can get much, much worse.

[popsdenver]

4. Absolutely PatSeg

I have been saying for years.......WE AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET......and it is getting increasingly so every day that passes.....

He makes a phony crisis emergency, then announces HE is the only one smart enough to solve this emergency /??????????
Perfect symptom of a Psychopath at work, along with gaslighting the blame to everyone except himself.....

Once again, the Reality is that we have to quit just saying Trump this and Trump that........He couldn't have survived a week into his first term, if it weren't for the backing and enabling of: The Republicans in the House and Senate, The Republican Main Stream Media, The Republican Corporations, and especially the Republican Supreme Court Justices........
And with all of those entities continuing to back him 100%, he will get worse and worse, until THEY all do something about him.
Of course, the next politcian(s)they corruptly install, could actually be worse. Then they can act from the shadows, behind smoke and mirrors with out Trump bragging to the public what they are doing, as well as Trump going off the rails with his own personal tangents.......

There is soooo much impending shit about to descend on us, that hasn't even been realized yet.........

8. We tend to just focus on Trump,

but often forget those in the shadows, many who have been planning and lurking for years.

I was just reading about how Putin increased his power with a series of horrific bombings of apartment buildings that killed hundreds of residents. People were terrified and wanted a strong leader to protect them. Putin blamed the bombings on Chechnya.

The same tactic has been used throughout history by tyrannical leaders playing on people's fears.

11. You can bet your sweet bippy

That Putin has been blackmailing Trump, countless other Politicians, Many of the U.S. Uber Rich, and interfering with the elections since 2015. Putin also went out of his way to continue all of his gathering of scut on these individuals as far back as the early 90's.......And now we are finding that Elon was working with Putin, along with Epstein and Trump, to make it happen........

I can only think, that the reason for Trump/Republicans dragging their feet on the Epstein information, is that Trump has a list of everyone on the Epstein Documents, and is using that information for his greatest grift of all, and is personally blackmailing all those individuals himself.............Not unlike the Mafia's "Protection Money" scams............

14. Most definitely

It has been obvious for a good many years that Putin and/or Trump have been blackmailing and bribing a lot of people in DC. It took a long time to set all this into motion and the Russians with their KGB history are extremely good at what they do. They know how to play the long game. The Russian Mafia is terrifying and they are everywhere worldwide.

I think we all figured out that was what was going on with Lindsey Graham for the last ten years. He couldn't be any more obvious.

5. Dump and Nosferatu have their own little meth lab where they're cooking up some toxic evil shit

All for the benefit of a few top-level assholes while the rest of us suffer....

6. An emergency declaration is a favorite tool of every dictator.

[popsdenver]

12. And the endless

"Executive Orders" another favorite tool of wanna be dictator's political party.............

[usonian]

18. You misspelled "Executive Odors"

Blame spell-checking.

[popsdenver]

20. You owe me a new keyboard usonian

you should post a warning in your title: "Stop eating or drinking anything before reading"

Good one......caught me off guard.....LOL

[usonian]

22. Howard Nutlick is next.

I have a spare keyboard or two, by the way.

7. Thought this was leading to his need to bomb Iran...

Which he is lying about

[liberalgunwilltravel]

9. Such a move will result in

A hot civil war. And since Krasnov and Whiskey Pete have fired all the competent and honorable military leaders, it’s likely to turn out very differently than they think it will.

[bluestarone]

15. Fully agree! problem as i see it is

That what they want? ( I think that is possible as well) When a animal ( TSF) is cornered,(EPSTEIN FILES) expect ANYTHING!

[popsdenver]

21. We have several major Narcissistic Psychopaths

with enough Atomic Weapons to destroy the planet earth one thousand times over.

Putin, NKorea, Trump, Netanyahu...............

If any of them are going down, they are ALL of the personality type of ......."I'll Show YOU.........I Go, You GO.

13. Ginned Up Emergencies

There once was a faction so stern,
Who cried, “It’s China’s turn to adjourn!
Declare an emergency, quick—
Pull a constitutional trick—
And grab powers we didn’t earn.”

They’d mandate new IDs at the gate,
Ban ballots that travel by freight,
Swap machines in the fall,
Just in time for it all—
How tidy when law won’t cooperate!

“Uh oh!” they would solemnly shout,
“An emergency’s breaking out!”
With a flourish and pen,
They’d try once again
To wrap extra powers about.

But the parchment they’re eager to bend
Lets the states on elections depend;
The Constitution is clear,
Despite bluster and fear—
That’s a power it does not lend.

If such a decree should appear,
Pro-voter attorneys will cheer:
They’ll race to the court,
File suit in short order—
And win, as the limits are clear.
