    We know what’s going to happen next.

    This year Trump is going to either suspend elections, or more likely, send thousands of ICE troops to interfere with voting in cities in purple states. Swing a few statewide elections his way.

    In a couple years, assuming he’s not dead, his stolen Senate and the cowardly bootlickers in congress will attempt to create legislative cover for this “third term”. They don’t have the juice to repeal a constitutional amendment but it won’t matter. They’ll play act at legislating to give Fox News some sound bites and tell everybody Trump deserves a third term because he’s the biggest, bestest good boy in the whole world.

    The only remaining question is if everyday Americans have enough sense and strength to stop them. Impressed as I am by some of the folks out there now… I doubt it.

      He’s definitely laying the groundwork for stopping the elections, though I don’t think he’ll succeed (but sadly he may). However, I believe we’ll have economic collapse before he has a chance to run for a third term, and it may come as early as this fall.

        Which is by design. It’s why to GOP is going after mail in votes and why polling places have been disappearing. It’s why election day will never be a holiday. They want in to suck to vote. They want you in line for hours without food or water.. They want you to have to arrange time off of work to do so. They purge voter rolls. Etc… Etc.

        It’s easy to blame individuals for systemic problems and call it a day, but you lose out on some nuance at best and some major issues in reality.

          That explains some people not voting. It doesn’t explain a full third.

          Some people are just fucking lazy and they need to be shamed for it. We should attempt to fix all the issues.

    In the past, this alone probably would have been enough to impeach…. What an incredible country we have now. What does Schumer have to say on this?

    ‘We’re working to get to the bottom of this and with increased police cooperation we can come to a resolution that will please the GOP enough they will glaze my face’?

        ‘Any words on the fascist orange turds remarks, senator?’

        ‘Gluck Gluck Gluck Gluck’

        ‘Wow. Powerful response from the senate minority leader, and now, Dave, with the weather!’

        ‘It’s fascist weather out there!’

          It’s I.C.E.-y out there. So remember to bundle up, carry your umbrellas, and wear your respirators to stay warm safe. Stay together and take care of each other.

    If he’s so certain about those “achievements”, why is he so afraid of letting the people judge him for them?

    Deep down inside, narcissists are aware of their ineptitude.

    Elections are overated! It’s not fair that the folks in power for the past three generations have been scamming the public and get booted out of the house and senate whenever they are in charge whether they are Dems or Repubs!

    There will be no midterms. Maybe you disagree. Ask yourself, though: Can you say with certainty that this administration won’t cancel the midterm elections? A lot can happen in ten months.
