This was the plan from the beginning. Don’t act surprised now or when there are armed men at polling stations on Election Day.
Drump is one of the most hated presidents in US history, seriously none of this will work out in the favor of the Republican party. Fuel shortages start soon, all thanks to Trump's economy.
Can't win because you're shit? Cheat.
I never thought in my lifetime the United States would need "International Observers".
Yeah that's for countries that don't respect democracy, not.... Oh nevermind.
I'm not sure the last time I saw the phrase international observers offhand (I am sure it's happened but just missed it) but they are definitely needed in that country. They seem to be degrading themselves to third world, in function if not by cold war meaning.
Welp.
We lived long enough to see America become a 3rd world shithole.
Edit: Don't care if I get banned. This traitor's head needs to be on a pike.
Statements like this make me think you haven't been paying attention.
Always was.
Never bought into the whole America #1. Maybe in the Olympics.
Anyway, good luck, 'Murica. Time to fight or die for realsies.
i think it's so funny how americans think they live in a democracy while one guy just fires whomever he wants.
But not just anyone.... The court said he couldn't fire that guy from the fed, cause that's clearly the only important thing that the president needs oversight on /s. Despite the fact that he's destroying the economy other ways. It's all fucking ridiculous
Yeah we in the rest of the world call that a "dictatorship" m'dudes.
Was there always a lack of repercussions to illegal actions or were administrations playing nice for the most part?
I'm guessing like with other actions some federal judge will ask to reinstate them when it's far too late
There were repurcussions most of the time until Nixon got pardoned. Grant got a speeding ticket on a horse from a beat cop who knew exactly who he was, and Grant paid the ticket. But after Nixon, all bets were off.
There was a supreme court decision during the current administration that basically said the president can't be held accountable. It's completely insane.

Oh my god how much more evidence do you need to acknowledge they're in on it?
It was a lot easier to believe the illusion before the Orange Don.

Not just any 'ol democracy, but the bestest one ever!!1!!
Democracy requires public commitment, but people will always choose what benefits them in the shortest expanse at the cost of long term benefits.
When the ancient greeks who layed the groundwork can pinpoint the cycle to a fault, isn't that a sign of a system that is dubious at best in its performance?
he's setting himself up for a coup from a general, at this point it could really happen
Fired the Democrat, but "allowed the Republican to resign". That is some petty shit. Not that it surprises me coming from Trump and the hairs he has hanging on to his balls like DeWitt.
Can't wait to see how much phantom voter fraud his administration uncovers exclusively in states run by people Trump personally doesn't like. With no mention of how they know there is any fraud to begin with since it seems like they have fired everyone on the Federal side that had any direct insight into elections with this announcement.
I'm sure someone in the media will get right on that line of thought when the time comes. /s
Seems petty on the surface, but doesnt that leave the democrats able to apply for unemployment, while the Republicans can't because they resigned?
Really interested to know why nobody near this guy has any spine whatsoever.
Dude is trying to steal the next election and install himself as king, amd we're all just shrugging our shoulders. Let's see how that works out for us.
Thanks SCOTUS!
This right here is the final straw. Cancelling the independence of federal agencies will turn this nation into a capitalist MAGA shithole faster than anything else he's done.
I used to believe that we needed to add 4 seats to SCOTUS, but I no longer believe that. Now I believe that we need to add at least 20 seats to SCOTUS, with rolling term limits. The count shouldn't be so close that one bad faith president can negatively manipulate policy for the next century. It should include rolling term limits, so every president gets to appoint a few, but not enough to steer the direction of the court.
We have to strengthen the independence of the three branches of government, and this is how we do it for SCOTUS.
This is it. His big move. It's all out in the open now and the endgame is midterms. C'mon citizens of all stripes, choose neighbourhood reps to watch and video all the polling booths on election day. You'll need that insurance.
