Let’s just take a look at those four items.
The first one is being pooh-poohed by all the experts. “He can’t do that, the constitution is clear that states control elections.” He’s just having a tantrum.
Ok, but who’s going to stop him? How would he “take over” the election systems and “nationalize” elections? I don’t know. Declare martial law? Say we’re at war? Do you doubt that he is capable of trying anything?
Perhaps he could do it the same way they did it in Georgia. I don’t know where he came up with “15 places” but I assume he’s thinking about states where the Republican Party has control and could unilaterally declare that certain big city elections offices are corrupt (or something.) I’m not sure where this might be and it’s doubtful that he can get enough critical mass to swing an election doing this but you never know.
I still believe that the real plan is to contest the election and throw the next Congress into chaos as the cases wend their way through the courts. And who knows what the Supremes might do if it gets to them? I’m sure Johnson and Thune will be happy to help.
Republicans are now saying that state control of elections is wrong because they have different standards so maybe the Supremes are open to that argument now”
I doubt he’s going to get anywhere with this but I’m not going to dismiss these threats because I still recall this:
This time he will still be president and he has a crew of ruthless henchmen in the DOJ, DHS and the military who will do his bidding. So, no one should be too sanguine that he won’t do anything. The only thing that mitigates against it is that he’s drunk with power and only cares about himself so he no doubt figures he can do whatever he wants whether he has a GOP Congress or not.
Pirro? I think she may have had an extra glass of wine at dinner. That statement is like waving a red flag in front of the gun nuts.
Blanche: That’s a great quote and should be what he’s remembered for. “It’s not a crime to party with Epstein.” Love it.
Trump’s tantrum about Harvard is hilarious. Harvard refused to buckle under to his administration’s blackmail. So now he’s going to sue, just like he’s using Trevor Noah and the IRS and the DOJ and anyone else who looks t him sideways. But the fact is that Harvard won and he lost. If only all the elite institutions had banded to get her and told him to pound sand last year, this administration would have gone differently.
It was just another morning for the GOP — and the rapidly accelerating destruction of America.
