          There’s a contingent of democratic senators who are ready to relieve Chuck of his office. I think either that scares him into holding the line or his capitulation loses him the leadership position.

          There are 44 other Senators who can kill the bill by simply stating their intent to filibuster. Even if Chuck caves.

      What do you need to do?

      This EO has all of the legal weight of a blog post.

      Article 4 Section 1

      Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

      The only groups that have power over elections is the State and Congress.

      Trump can draft an EO declaring himself king of mars. He can write anything in an EO, he’s the E. A state can simply ignore it, it has no chance of surviving a motion for a TRO.

    Trump can make all the lists he wants, he doesn’t get to say shit about how the states run their elections or decide whether or not he accepts their results. Those results are officially certified by the electors of each state and Congress counts the electoral votes, NOT Trump. Federal office holders cannot be electors.

    We literally had an attempted coup on Jan 6th 2020 to prevent those electors from doing their jobs. They were unsuccessful.

      A bunch of states are going to kowtow to him anyway, a judge is going to declare it unconstitutional, Trump’s going to throw a hissyfit & bomb Djibouti or some shit as distraction and Congress is going to pass it anyway.

      Trump is an utter moron, being supported by utter morons, with utter morons calling rational people “the real morons” for daring to ask “wait, what?”

        And based on some of the alleged quotes from the man himself that hes said to his victims about making their whole family dissappear if they ever reported him, possibly murderer as well. If not directly, by giving the order and paying the murderers.

        It’s going to be decades before we learn the full scope of what hes done, and Ill bet you even then, there will be people that defend him and claim its all fake news, even after hes roasting for eternity in one of the lower circles of hell.

      I definitely get and feel similarly, and I guess this aint a bright spot but unless things change drastically and rapidly so there are very few places on the planet that will be able to serve as a refuge for the pain coming over the next few years. The best we can all hope for is that the US collapses rapidly before the technofeudalists and christofascists can further cement control

      No person needs permission from a leader to vote.

      Leaders are elected first in the hearts and minds of the people and then at the ballot box.

      A leader can try to take away the ballot box, but they can’t take away people’s will and leaders who forget this will ultimately lose one way or another.

    As I’ve said, many a time, once dictatorship’s instantiated, he’ll not just remove the vote from all non-Republicans, he’ll de-naturalize all non-Republicans, then they can be ICE’d…

    making it criminal to do ANY trade with “illegals”/woke.

    I found out that he & Miller had a 1-MILLION deportations quota on ICE, for their 1st year…

    You’re too far in nazi territory, when you’re doing that kind of shit … there’s no pretending that away, any more than there’s any pretending-away Israel’s admission that it’s annexing territory from Lebanon, once it’s got Hamas controlled/down…

    Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Millei… same fundamental-values, they’re demonstrating…

    & the fools who are “certain” that social-pressure will prevent the tippingpoint from being crossed…

    …solving the wrong problem, while helping the enemy that is walking our world into its “secondary-crime-scene”, for our world’s butchery…

    The Great Filter’s actual! This century is it…

          You can’t move 100M anywhere for a lot of reasons.

          • You don’t want to have a corresponding loss of whites defeating the purpose especially if its your more skilled and valuable people leaving first.
          • You don’t want them taking their wealth with them
          • Nobody can absorb that many people not singly or even all together
          • A substantially portion will refuse to leave
          • You can’t give due process to a sufficient number or yet pretend that due process doesn’t exist

          If you let it play out naturally you’ll have concentration camps, a death toll that would shame Hitler, and nobody coming to the rescue because nobody invades a nuclear armed nation. After that you’ll have a psychotic insane dictatorship threatening all of you and potentially touching off Armageddon after threatening everyone and attacking some of you.

          The uninvolved can still die of starvation after the bombs drop.

            Yeah, a hundred million people displacing to…wherever is going to put a lot of refugee crises to shame. Even a tenth of that would constitute a huge problem. I feel that this is Miller trying to pretext death camps and mass murder.
