    Wow fake news much!? He said he WON’T say “they” should cancel it. Then he repeated himself 5 or 6 times to make sure everyone got it. Even though he thinks “they” should cancel it, it’s not something he would say.

    Just so we’re all on the same page. /s

        Yep, he plays and twists positions he’s clearly promoting by prefacing with “how those crazy reporters would react” and it works. The media gulps it down, every time. Just look how every mainstream outlet is sanewashing this specific event.

        This fucking idiot is just rambling about an autopen for a few minutes without a hint of irony that he himself is an autopen because his dementia riddled head doesn’t think. He literally said “now I just sign em all because it’s crazy”. It’s like 4 separate layers of irony.

        What a fucking world.

      Media should start asking this question to everyone in this fucking administration:

      “Will the Epstein Files be released before or after the midterms elections are cancelled?”

    Guys, not sure if everyone gets it yet, so for those who need to catch up: There will not be any midterms. At least nothing meaningful, if they’re held at all. The right is gaslighting and the left is in denial. The right don’t want elections…they can only reduce their power.

    David Frum said it best: “If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”. He’s right, and he would know.

      They might try, butbim not so sure how well it would go. States control elections, so it would be individual red states (or more correctly, states run by republicans) who would “cancel elections”. But those are also the statea full of people who demonstrated they are willing to storm capitals over election shenbanigans (i truly belive most of the jan 6ers really were convinced that the election was stolen bless their hearts).

        It was the MAGAts that stormed the capital because Trump told them to. If Daddy Trump tells them the elections need to be cancelled these people will be storming blue states that try to have elections.

        If only blue states have elections then the Republicans can’t lose any seats.

    Can something really be considered “jaw dropping” when anyone with 2 brain cells has assumed he was going to attempt something like this since he literally said on stage over a year ago, you won’t ever have to vote again?

    At this point, I would say it would be “jaw dropping” for him to just follow the rule of law.

    We all know his goal is to destroy the U.S. (as well as any part of the globe they can seize) and the entire system of government on behalf of his handlers and their corporate interests, right? Surely by now, nobody could still believe that maybe this guy is just exceptionally bad at his job…

    The entire point is to burn it all to the ground, and from there rebuild it in their own image. Realistically, who knows wtf will actually be rebuilt if anything, because if/when it all does finally come crumbling down, they will turn on each other to determine who will seize power and use their hoarded resources to force us to fight each other in a civil war(s) on their behalf.

    Anyway, tldr, sorry to be that person, but this isn’t “jaw dropping.”

      Trump owns the agencies, the national guard, the military and supreme court. All these parts of the power structure have been conditioned to do as he says. And we’ve already seen how he uses them illegally, even openly with ICE.
      Trump doesn’t give a shit about the law, he will make some insane excuse and call martial law.
      Trump has not been seriously resisted yet, how can you claim that Trump or Vance taking power is not an option?

          The federal government is above the states, if it’s federally declared illegal federal police can arrest anyone participating and planning to hold the election anyway. Just like FBI could arrest people for Cannabis even when a state had legalized it.

              He can either arrest his opponent or the administration can just ignore the results of whatever fractured election takes place.

                He can ignore the results or arrest anyone but that just makes him a guy occupying the white house who is no longer the president. They could try their hand at a civil war (if the guns stay in line) but there’s no mechanic available to modify the constitution and give them legitimacy. At best they could depose state governments and put in their own people. But anybody with an army can claim the USA by that method.

              And criminals aren’t allowed on the ballot for presidential elections.

              And the president can’t just start a war and invade another country without Congressional approval.

              They don’t give a shit about the rules in place and will continue to ignore them because there continues to be zero consequences for doing so.

              Trump will sign an executive order saying they continue to hold their seats until an election can be held (which of course it can’t).

        Trump owns the agencies, the national guard, the military and supreme court.

        Which is why the SC ruled in his favor and there are currently Marines and National Guard enforcing state laws in LA and Chicago.
