It’s Wednesday. There are 587 days until the midterm elections. The Greenland invasion begins, the brain worm guy is going to kill (more) kids and the Atlantic calls BS.
Hot Wheels is the perfect name for Asshole Abbott. Sending immigrants all over with no warning
Like B6, Jas has a knack for nicknames. Make it stick. And if the magas get butt hurt, fuck them. It’s all manufactured outrage when we recall all their slutty insults.
We know that the next Democratic administration is going to blow most of Mango Mussolini's barbaric and illegal executive orders out of the water. The problem however, is there won't be another free or fair election. Sure they might hold a show piece one like North Korea and Russia but the results will be decided well in advance.
The small but still active remaining MAGAts are going to claim that they worked too hard to go back to the ways of liberal snowflakes. We talk about Congress worried about their upset constituents - sure if there was a fair election in the near future but there won't be.
A President who is threatening to imprison American citizens in an El Salvador concentration camp (illegal) and one who defies Federal judges orders (illegal) is not going to hesitate to make up some bullshit excuse and have his brainwashed Fox hosts repeat ad nauseum like it's an established fact.
As long as the country has electronic voting, the elections are hackable. The old time paper ballots, even the hanging Chad‘s, are better for election security than electronic voting. He’s also going to infiltrate voting by mail. We can’t let that happen, too many disabled and elderly depend on mailing in their ballots. We don’t have two years. We have now.
150%!! I’m only going to paste a bit from Marc Elias “Democracy Docket”, who’s on the front lines fighting for us but this is from this morning….
The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s authoritarian dream is not the courts — it is free and fair elections. While the courts can stand in the way of his twisted vision for America, they can never completely halt it. Trump knows this.
Trump operates on the assumption that there will be no political check on his power. His plan to subvert democracy depends on the subservience of a Republican-controlled Congress. His worst nightmare is a scenario in which Democrats flip one or both chambers in 2026.
It was only a matter of time before Trump turned his attention to attacking free and fair elections. Election denialism is the foundation of his movement. Election subversion is essential to maintaining his power. Voter suppression is a tool Republicans have wielded against those who do not support him.
For weeks — almost since the day he was sworn in — Trump has quietly mused about attacking elections. He referenced “election integrity” in a sweeping White House memo targeting lawyers who litigated against his administration.
At an event announcing a new Hyundai steel plant in Louisiana, Trump used the opportunity to air his grievances about lawyers and voting rules. He claimed that lawyers had behaved “very badly, very wrongly.” As a result, he declared, “our elections are very dishonest, very corrupt.”
That was merely a prelude to the executive order he and his team issued the next day. Titled Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections, it is a rambling document that asserts powers the president simply does not have.
Fuck it, here’s the rest, have a read…
It would disenfranchise millions. It seeks to restrict what ballots states can count. It purports to give DOGE unspecified powers to review state run voter rolls. No wonder vote suppressors and election deniers from coast to coast lavished it with praise.
If, as Mario Cuomo once said, “You campaign in poetry, you govern in prose,” then Donald Trump issues executive orders as performance art. Like many of his others, this order is confused, rhetorical and — in places — nonsensical. It asserts facts that are not true and claims authority he does not possess. It is not meant to be taken seriously or literally. Rather, it is the empty threat of a weak man desperate to appear strong.
The Constitution is explicit about who has the power to determine how elections are conducted:
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
States have the primary role in setting election rules. Congress can override those rules by enacting laws. The president is not mentioned — because he has no independent role.
In fact, Congress has already enacted laws governing many aspects of elections. Those laws are just that — laws. They cannot be altered or overridden by a piece of paper in a fancy folder, no matter how forcefully Trump signs it with a Sharpie.
Calling it an executive order may mean something to him, but legally, it is irrelevant. Neither the Constitution nor the law cares about his feelings.
Trump’s advisors undoubtedly know this and have likely explained it to him. But Trump doesn’t care. He believes that by signing an outrageous document filled with threats and bluster, he can intimidate state and local officials, lawyers, judges and voters. He is counting on us being too scared to fight back.
He is also counting on voters not caring enough to exercise their rights. By making the process seem complicated, contentious and dangerous, he hopes to bully the election system into submission.
We cannot let that happen.
I have already announced that my team will sue to block this executive order and any other attempts to undermine free and fair elections. Our track record proves that we litigate aggressively — and when we do, we typically win.
That is why Trump is attacking me. It is why he went to the Department of Justice to call me a “radical” trying to “turn America into a corrupt, communist, third-world country.” It is why he is attempting to destroy my former law firm, where I defeated his legal team more than 60 times in 2020. And it is why he singled me out in his recent White House memorandum.
I don’t care what Donald Trump says about me. I wear his scorn as a badge of honor.
But one lawyer — or even a thousand lawyers — won’t solve this problem alone. It will take the civic courage of thousands of leaders and millions of voters.
This executive order is bad — cartoonishly so. But it is also a wake-up call for those who believe the danger of election subversion has passed.
To the contrary, it has only just begun.
And so has our fight
So think again. We have to fight this fucking fascism and the fucking Republicans because they are all POS!!!!
Let's get in the habit of making financial donations to people like Melanie Stansbury. The rest of the Democrats who are begging from us but lying low and not helping us don't need our money.
Trump is telling people that we Americans have no choice and can't do anything to stop him from taking us to the end of the world, As the world is doomed ,Don't watch the News as It does not Matter. I say this is a call to all those who are not with the destruction of America. WE CAN NOT LET THIS HAPPEN . Brothers and Sisters ,Fathers Mothers. We are bigger than this Stand!
On the Tufts University Student. Apparently her sin was to sign an op-ed asking the university to recognize Palestinian Genocide and divest from Israeli investments. So far not ONE word that she mentioned, much less supported Hamas. Even IF you think that because SOME students supported Hamas, that Khalil must have supported them too--even if you think that, the excuse doesn't seem to be in play here. Nor, apparently did she in any way threaten Jewish students. So it's official: disagreeing with the actions of a foreign government is grounds for revoking a visa
So if we turn all Russian on the subject of Ukraine, everyone with a visa or green card who has criticized the invasion of Ukraine is fair game.
Remember when trump suggested that foreign students who graduated from a US university automatically get a green card??? Clearly he didn't pass THAT one by Miller.
A call for a DOD military coup, and to elect veterans en masse to Congress and the presidency.
We have reached a moment in U.S. history that few of us thought possible- when patriotic Americans have just cause to call for a military coup against the president and his co-conspirators in Congress- for their crimes against the Constitution and their reckless endangerment of individuals, society, the United States government, and the soldiers of the U.S. Armed Forces.
It is the duty of every patriot who loves this country and the ideals, the principles for which it stands, to demand action from the Department of Defense to relieve them of command; to stop ICE, DOGE and whatever other secret police the president employs to terrorize the population and suppress the free exchange of ideas, of speech, the right of due process, and the right of assembly.
To petition the U.S. Armed Forces to relieve them of command, secure government facilities, redeploy fired federal workers, and hold new elections in November 2025. Elections that are fair, transparent and not corrupted by big money. This is the moment to elect veterans en masse to Congress and the presidency... Americans who have demonstrated love for country, respect for process and protocols, and who adhere to a military code of honor. They're trained to respond effectively to emergencies, to set up OPS, lines of communication, chain of command, developing contingency plans. And to coordinate with their active duty colleagues.
If you agree that urgency calls for radical, unprecedented action, please broadcast these sentiments to your followers, elected representatives, and communities. Before we're all disappeared and it's too late.
I love that the Signal case is going to Judge Boasberg!! Haha karma is a bitch and I love her 😍
I'm retired military. Cuss away my friends.
I’m not but I’m reading Rumor of War (Caputo) and gonna let the cuss words slide for awhile.
exactly, ex usn 87-93 sailor and keep the cussing coming..
the cussing adds to the article

Trump’s only hope to get reelected is to fully corrupt voting. He has inferred that Musk helped with that in the 2024 Election.
You nailed it. That's what SO FUCKING MANY people and politicians refuse to understand.

Thank you, Melanie Stansbury! YEAH!
Let's get in the habit of making financial donations to people like Melanie Stansbury. The rest of the Democrats who are begging from us but lying low and not helping us don't need our money.
Yeah I feel sorry for Boasberg though and hope he’s got 24 hour marshals lined up already.
This was supposed to go below 👇🏻👇🏻
Problem is, the marshals are compromised as part of Felon's DOJ
Yes I’m aware but my Dad was a federal judge and marshals are pretty tight w their protectees. I suspect they’ll find a way.
Trump is telling people that we Americans have no choice and can't do anything to stop him from taking us to the end of the world, As the world is doomed ,Don't watch the News as It does not Matter. I say this is a call to all those who are not with the destruction of America. WE CAN NOT LET THIS HAPPEN . Brothers and Sisters ,Fathers Mothers. We are bigger than this Stand!
Cuss away! I’m swearing with you!
Molly Ivins first called Abbott “Hot Wheels” waaaaay back in the 90s. Everyone with a brain in Texas calls him that. Damn, GOPers are such whiners.
I’m in the profanity club as well! And quite frankly I fucking love it. So, please do not change a thing.
Arrested for miscarriage? WTF? Clearly, someone needs to file suite against god....
If we could check the historical record to the beginning of time, fetuses and babies have killed more mothers than the other way around....
Can't wait for Judge Boasberg to subpoena Walz and Hegseth. They will no doubt lie under oath. Try it boys, I dare you!
I must be confused. I could have sworn this was the party always chicken squawking about states rights.
"He wants to federalize all elections and let Elon Leon audit everything."
Now Trump will want to get on Sygnal so he can send group chat invites to his dictator friends; why not share all the “not classified “ information?!
