of course they are, can remember Rachel Maddow in October 2024 saying you’re not really voting for the person you are voting for democracy vs autocracy, it is that simple, you are voting for the future of the country

I thought that was the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax? So now we are going to call it the China, China, China interference? Geez, give us a break. This is so disgusting. SCREAM

Trump has no power over midterms, and no EO will unlock powers over midterms for him. States, and no executive branch, is administering elections. Trump can go pound sand.

If China or the democrats or (insert today's boogeyman) had the power to interfere in elections in 2020, surely they would have done it again. Of all the excuses, they choose literally, the easiest one to dispel.

Spreading this propaganda does MAGA's work for it. There is zero legal or Constitutional basis for this. None. Zilch. Nada. This story, which does not quote a single legit constitutional lawyer, is intended to make us scared and say "What's the use anyway?" Stop sharing this drivel!

Desperation will stop at nothing..... Those on the right side of history will stop @ nothing either. There's a hell of a lot more ppl on the right side of history & this bullshit stops now. The fascists are not going to win, We the People won't let them.

Unconstitutional. The real question is how long will Roberts n his gang postpone pondering the inevitable festering lower court fisticuffs when it ends up in SCOTUS. Until after midterms?

Recent rulings blocking parts of Trump’s voting-related executive orders held that the president “lacks the authority to unilaterally alter election procedures,” reaffirming that those powers rest with Congress and the states (Brenan Center) .

A president cannot use an executive order to forbid states from using electronic voting machines or to ban mail‑in voting; those decisions belong to states (and, to some extent, Congress), not the White House.

Dems can't wait. They need to stop being reactive and more proactive. So I will keep asking this question: what are Dems willing to do to save our Democratic Republic?

Good thing EOs arent worth the paper they're printed on, especially regarding the STATE RUN elections. More opportunities for capitulation in advance, and I'm sure some will eagerly take him up on it.

Because it is alleged in the Epstein files that Trump raped a 13 year old. A national emergency is a good distraction, it's better than a full blown invasion of Iran. Farage Pam Bondi Kash Patel

Pre-November: Thumb on scale November: Claim victory prior to results November-January: Demand impractical audits for Dem victories January: Instruct Mike Johnson to not swear in Dems

No matter what happens, on January 3rd at noon, there is no speaker. The House is run by the clerk until a speaker is chosen. Not saying ratfucking wouldnt/couldn't happen but it makes it way harder.

furthermore, the states run and ratify their own elections. So Trump can bully and extort and threaten but can't actually unilaterally exert any direct power over state elections. of course there will be ratfucking, but these particular levers will not be available to them.

Trump is working to steal the midterm election. Are you ready? Buy your Trump-5-tined Pitchfork now. Select the name you want engraved on each tine! Donald, Don Jr, Jared, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, maybe Pam 'hidethefile' Bondi, K$H, or Nutlick? Put a fine point to it. Rise & tine MFs

It STILL wouldn't empower him to do shit about state elections. He can call anything he wants with executive powers and only his pet states will respond in kind. Which will require him to send troops into all other states. Which will result in civil war. Bad for business.

Hmmm, so there was election interference in 2020 but not in 2024…and THAT’S the basis for an EO??? Trump/MAGA logic is really hard on the brain 😏

But the boot lickers in MSM report them as if they are. "Trump sings Executive Order declaring left handed people must self deport ! " "News at 6 !"
