1. Trump can’t federalize elections and he knows that. 2. That doesn’t mean he won’t try, so what are WE going to do when he inevitably does?

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people. Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech. They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

Holy shit. He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him. His hands were on the pavement when he was shot. He never had his hand on a weapon. Cold blooded murder.

These numbers are a shitshow. The GOP knows they’re not sustainable, but they’re too afraid to actually do anything about it. That’s why you’re seeing so many of them resign. They understand what’s coming in the midterms.

What a fucking embarrassment. Trump says part of the reason he’s pushing for Greenland is that he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize, so now he doesn’t think “purely of peace” Looking forward to Mike Johnson not seeing this letter until 2050.

Secondly, if they somehow did succeed in cancelling midterms, there would be no Congress to approve a budget. Treasury can’t release funds without Congress. Nothing would get paid. We would default on our debt. The global economy would collapse, and the midterms would be the least of our worries.

This is a big no-no in armed combat. It’s like dressing up as a doctor or a nurse and then shooting someone. If this is proven accurate, it’s 100% a war crime.
