Here it is Americans. Its time to put that love of liberty and freedom to the test. Or are you all going to sleep meme your way through a fascist power grab.

[-] 4grams@awful.systems 14 points 3 hours ago

Kinda seems like we already did.

[-] Reginald_T_Biter@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

This is nothing. There are nightmarish depths yet to plumb.

No, this is not that.

Orbán never fucked around with mail in voting in this way.

Hungary never got this bad.

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 29 points 6 hours ago

LMAO. If the dems did this, the maga cunts would be like "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" but daddy dumpy does it, and they're probably rejoicing.

[-] ImmersiveMatthew@sh.itjust.works -5 points 4 hours ago

And the good Americans just passively accept. Who is the bigger problem?

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

Way to victim blame. Only psychopaths and sycophants pull this shit

[-] frostysauce@lemmy.world 2 points 47 minutes ago

Obviously the ones actually doing the horrible things are the bigger problem.

[-] Ogy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

... Definitely the trump cult? Like yeah, you could argue that Democrats are also a problem, but the 'bigger' problem is pretty fucking obvious

[-] Uranus_Hz@lemmy.zip 27 points 8 hours ago

But seriously, how is that supposed to work? Is the USPS supposed to open all the envelopes and determine if the voters are registered?

[-] Uruanna@lemmy.world 20 points 5 hours ago

They just seize everything by default. They'll get back to you later about which ones are illegal.

[-] jve@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

April.. ah what the fuck

[-] core@leminal.space 51 points 13 hours ago

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 9 points 6 hours ago

[-] tinfoilhat@lemmy.ml 18 points 13 hours ago

So the USPS doesn’t have to do this, they don’t report to the president, and I don’t think this is in any way legal.

If the postmaster general follows this order I would hope anyone in Congress could haul him in and have him arrested.

States run elections, period, and this is blatant election tampering.

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 45 points 15 hours ago

The postmaster was appointed during trump's first term and was constantly trying to destroy the USPS then, and has been trying since.

They are sitting on a huge pension fund that team trump wants to embezzle or spend on war.

Biden admin did not push to get rid of him, so this was part of a bipartisan finance driven plan to destroy the USA.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 18 points 14 hours ago

One more Biden/Democratic failure. They had four years to get rid of that traitor who was systematically destroying the USPS, and after trying absolutely nothing, they were out of ideas, and he's STILL there. They aren't any more effective when they have power, than when they don't. Fucking LOSERS.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Last admin didn't do enough AND you have a child's point of view of the nuance of that actual situation and the board of governors. Also, as others have pointed out, DeJoy is gone, but only to go back to privately grifting. Further, last admin was the most progressive of my lifetime, but it still wasn't enough. You seem to gauge success based on your gut and guess what your gut is full of, friend?

Try not to speak with righteous, blustering confidence while your head is all the way up your ass... The words get muffled and it's hard to hear you embarrassing yourself.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I gauge the success of the Biden administration, like all presidencies, based on its outcomes:

  • Covid Vaccine Program: 100% success, or as much as possible since Trump encouraged the anti-vaxxers, and screwed up herd immunity.

  • Post-Maga Economic Recovery Program: Every Democrat President has to open with an economic recovery plan to fix the mess left behind by EVERY Republican/MAGA president, and Biden's was very successful.

With those two initiatives, Biden could have been in the Top 10 of presidents, but he had to do a good job for the rest of his term, which he didn't.

After the Covid and Stimulus programs, his most urgent priority was to gain control of MAGA, and deal with them as the genuine National Security Threat that they had become. They had thrown a goddamned VIOLENT INSURRECTION, and tried to overthrow the government!

That happened only a couple of weeks before Biden took office. He would have been well within his Constitutional and legal rights to step off the podium after his Inauguration, and immediately ordered the round-up of all MAGA leadership, remanding them to Guantanamo Bay for extensive interrogation. What nation allows the leadership of a proven treasonous organization to wander totally free, and even openly plot to steal the NEXT election? It is literally the most egregious case of Presidential Malpractice I can think of.

And now MAGA is back, and Trump has taken a baseball bat into the World's China Shop, because he's trying to distract from the last 10 carefully balanced global and national institutions he's destroyed. Now he's working on the delicate oil/fertilizer/food balance, just so he can manipulate the markets, and make people forget the name Epstein, another major issue that the Biden administration badly neglected.

Trump was elected partially because Biden's lack of action on the Epstein Files made many Republicans assume that it was because it was filled with Democrats, so they voted MAGA to get justice that the Dems wouldn't offer. One more easily avoidable Biden failure.

MAGA came back because Biden was too weak to even look in the same direction of the worst National Security Threat since the Civil War, and for what? The simple reason is that Democrats are too obsessed with being polite to that very same National Security Threat. MAGA doesn't deserve politeness nor respect, they deserve prison, or worse, and the Biden (and Democratic) Ostrich Doctrine has badly damaged the entire world.

It's all about outcomes, and while Biden had a couple of successes, he blew it badly in some vitally important ones, and the primary outcome of the Biden administration was the recovery of MAGA.

For that, Biden's legacy is justifiably ruined, and he will be permanently ensconced in the Bottom 10 of American Presidents.

I see the situation very clearly, while you're still out there simping for the guy who had the best opportunity to stop MAGA's rise, and didn't even bother to acknowledge that they were a problem. And I'M the one with my head up my ass?

[-] AWTM_James@sh.itjust.works 9 points 13 hours ago

He's not still there though. But don't worry! He was replaced by an equally shitty bootlicker

Just like other past irregularities, mild repurcussions after the fact is too late when the election is already stolen.

I just instructed the president to lick my balls. I don’t think he will though.

[-] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 hours ago

Their username contains “bill”, so maybe they're Clinton, possibly aka Bubba, in which case according to the Epstein files Trump may have already blown him, unless Bubba was the horse...

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 5 points 9 hours ago

I think he only rapes girls tho

Good point.

One of the great failings of this government is not providing a punishment for repeatedly issuing unconstitutional orders. He has exactly zero incentive to stop.

[-] Pulsar@lemmy.world 80 points 19 hours ago

Our Congress has allowed a lawless president to do whatever he wanted. It is a MAGA coup dresses as Republicans.

Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
