Breaking the social safety net is a feature, not a bug. Republicans hearing this be like "CRY MOAR! We're coming for your Medicaid next, ya deadbeat!"

They’re saying the quiet part out loud and using it for their campaign:


To quote the last line…

“I’m Andy Barr and I approved this message to give woke liberals something else to cry about.”

edit: fixed that quote

So to be clear, to win wars, Trump thinks we need to have mass surveillance of American citizens and AI that will kill people.

They are telling on themselves again.

TBF those are very valuable tools to have when you're a dictator after you've refused to leave office despite it being in violation of the Constitution. That seems like the sort of thing that might actually cause mass uprisings.
 
Hegseth out on a bender and upset at more "elite" schools, saying that there will be no more graduate studies for military personnel at those institutions.

Apparently, Hegseth wants only the dumbest. Dude is going to get himself blown to smitherines by a howitzer barrage in the next major ground war because leaders lead from the front and only people on the front line matter.

He will try, but it will fail hard since it means the end of the USA of a global power.

Not sure what that is supposed to mean. Trump and cronies aren't going to back off stealing the election because they worry it would hurt the USA.

This is someone that tried to steal an election that he clearly lost.

This time he will be cheating every way he can imagine up front and after the results come in.

They will be coopting more news sources by the day. MAGA just bought CNN to go with CBS and FOX... So the disinformation will drown out more and more of reality...

Once they lock down the media in a few years the MAGA dear leader will have 80% approval just like Putin.

ah there it is, the real fucking with elections

https://bsky.app/profile/adambonin.bsky.social%2Fpost%2F3mfuouxwnws2y

highlights include (but not limited to)

An effective poll tax on absentee voting through the requirement of a notary.

Voter ID would be required Proof of citizenship is required on the voter ID. Meaning no state ID would be sufficient. Only a passport would suffice.

All adjudication of matters to take place in federal court, in the state capitol, rather than in state court with courts local to the voters.

Clearing all voter rolls entirely and requiring everyone to reregister, in person, with the necessary proof of citizenship on hand.

Registration must be locked in 30 days before an election and no changes can take place after then.

A national voter PIN to be assigned by the federal government is required to vote.

Elections cannot be certified unless ALL irregularities are resolved for all offices up for election, even if the irregularities are for a different office, or are so small in number as to not change the outcome.
 
Ah, so it's the shotgun approach, throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Well, I mean, this is one of the shotgun blasts, I anticipate many more.
It's not immediately apparent to me why any non-red state would bother complying, but I guess we'll see what other fuckery they want to try. I'm sure they'll illegally threaten federal funding over it.

They also dont need to do it counrry wide. Just in certain areas od swing states

With how they're pissing everyone off, they're going to have a lot of swing areas to cover.

Also think about how many voting areas there are in many cities and how many people you'd need to fuck with stuff. It's not that easy.

That one right there says a LOT.
They want the right to erase all elections if they so much as fart in its general direction.
Trump never would have left office in 2021 if this was how elections operated. Regardless of any votes or vote counts. The incumbent simply, effectively, cancels the election by NEVER certifying it.

Trump has nothing to do with certifying elections and states will ignore this.

Same as with that silly SAVE act. It’s going nowhere.
