This is getting much simpler.
Trump wants the SAVE America Act to change the rules for the midterms.
It can’t get through the Senate.
So Wayne Allyn Root just proposed the workaround directly to Trump:
“If they never get the SAVE America Act done, you have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections.”
Root told him that would allow Trump to impose:
“photo ID, proof of citizenship and a limit to mail-in ballots”
Trump’s response:
“Stranger things have happened, OK? I’ll leave it at that.”
That’s the story.
Congress won’t pass the election rules Trump wants.
His allies are telling him to declare an emergency and impose them anyway.
Trump just declined to rule it out.
And this isn’t coming out of nowhere.
A draft executive order (#1522607) already lays out an emergency framework for federal intervention in elections.
Steve Bannon has publicly discussed establishing the national-security “predicate.”
Tina Peters says she discussed eliminating voting machines and mail ballots with Trump and afterward said:
“There is a plan.”
Trump has emptied the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission months before the midterms.
And now the emergency workaround has been proposed to the President himself.
He didn’t say no.
One important point: Root’s claim that the Supreme Court has already given Trump this power is wrong. INS v. Chadha did no such thing.
The issue isn’t whether Trump clearly has this power.
It’s whether he is willing to claim it.
We can't compromise with the opposition party at this time, for their own sake as well as ours. The DSA is leading the charge, but the whole party is generally in favor of cutting off support for our capitalist proxy states, which is effectively the same as destroying the republic.
The reason Lincoln had to burn down the South wasn't just because of slavery. His first plan was to prevent new states from joining as slave states. This would have meant free states eventually overpowering the South politically and economically to the point where slavery would have been peacefully phased out. Of course, Democrats could do the same math and decided secession/war was worth the risk in order to maintain an independent slave empire.
The immediate cessation of slavery was a Republican policy victory that was won as spoils of war, but the main reason Lincoln fought to preserve the Union was to maintain the existence of at least one government on earth that would be of, by, and for the people. In other words, the Three Principles of the People.
Trump's plan is to replace the income tax with tariffs and tolls on international trade, leveraging our military, geography, and culture to maintain a political union while implementing laissez-faire economics domestically. This combined with a potential victory over the PRC is an existential threat to everything the Democrats stand for as a party. We know they're not going to comply, so we have no choice but to treat them as an insurrectionary force.
There is indeed an emergency. And by the way it's certainly a more real and urgent emergency than the corona hysteria. That was worse than the Stamp Act and still deserves serious, massive, spectacular retribution.
haha!!! Your ability to string bs together is extraordinary. Only problem is there are too many who think like you.
Thank you.
And yes, exactly. That's the beauty of it. They relied on superior numbers for mob rule and it turns out I have the bigger mob. All of the communists' weapons have been turned against them in a magnificent anti-fragile spiral.
They think power comes from the barrel of a gun. My gun has a longer barrel. The Keynesians' money printer is paying me to buy Bitcoin. Every safety net that they built has become my rug pull. They captured the world's governments and left the hearts of the people to me. They opened the gates between Hell and Paradise. Now Hell is enjoying a Golden Age, virgins and all. The overeducated brokies are planning a revolution but the rich that know what's good for them have already invested in mine. Workers of the world are uniting for capitalism. Karl Marx conquered the Old World and left the New World to Ayn Rand. Mao built a new Qin and Lai will revive the Han. 1776 stands with 1911. Xi wants peace and unity. He's going to have it.
It's over and it's happening. It's not liberty or death. It's liberty and death.
You should write a horror movie script. I'd watch.
Someday when this is over.
