You mean to tell me that Trump is NOT omnipotent, and the states and the people are NOT powerless, despite what I keep reading here?

I thought all his wishes, demands and orders were executed flawlessly, producing the desired, successful results each and every time, and now I’m seeing that the states are pushing back and resisting this push to fascism?

now paid with the taxpayers credit card plus interests to the wealthy.

It's a Fascist regime.

Good luck identifying them to arrest them later?

They can't even find Renee Good and Alex Pretti's murderers

IIRC, they have identified at least one of the shooters in one of those murders, maybe more.

They are being protected by the current administration, but that won’t last forever.

The state of Minnesota just indicted another ICE agent who shot and wounded an unarmed man shoveling snow in his yard.

They want to be fascists, but instead they are just chaos-sowing failures.

After the Blue Tsunami is November, the Reckoning will begin, first with congressional hearings, then, in 2029, with prosecutions.

It could be interpreted to mean anything short of an on the spot lynch mob for every defendant accused of any crime is Justice denied.

and tell me it's not the case in his cases.

he’ll summon the fortitude to sign on to this. But I don’t count on him opposing Trump openly.

He and COO Gabriel Sterling aren’t MAGAts, but they’re also very conservative Republicans who know what it would mean to take on Trump directly.

or if it is BS chest thumping.

So what army is going to arrest these highly armed goons when/if they resist arrest? And will they be shot for their armed resistance?
Can such goons be served with an emergency cease and desist order signed by a judge? They will have succeeded in mass disruptions and intimidation by their armed presence at polls. They must be immediately removed from polls as soon as they appear or else they achieve their masters' goal of voter suppression through intimidation. They are the ones who must be intimidated first. And of course, any legal actions taken against them after this will hold them accountable in court at a much later trial date.

All the defeatist Doomers seem to think things will unfold thusly:

1. Goons show up at polling places

2. Goons do whatever the fuck they want to voters and ballots

3. Nobody gets in their way

4. Success! Rigged election!

Numerous states have already been war-gaming various scenarios and strategizing responses. They have been doing this throughout the Trump era, intervening numerous times to thwart bad actors (just ask Tina Peters and Kari Lake).

P.S. you haven’t done the required math to prove your imagined scenario is even feasible. There simply aren’t enough “highly armed goons” to successfully disrupt enough polling places to affect the outcome, not when 2024 Trump +20 districts are swinging 15-30 points towards the Dems.

for all the polls. However, what about the J6 goonns that he wants to pay as a private army? If they try to intimidate voters, it would be in select places where the count might be close.

Throughout the past year, 2024 Trump +20 districts have been swinging 15-30 points towards the Dems- in FL, TX, GA and other deep red areas.

Selecting areas to “strategically target” will be impossible in 2026 precisely because of this Dem overperformance.

They may try to disrupt the elections, but they will fail, and some people may go to prison, or even die trying to protect the political future of one man.

I’ll save you a spot by the punch bowl.

I agree there are lots of what if scenarios that may play out. And I remain hopeful that the goons will be met with anticipated responses to thwart them even if they appear not to be able to affect the outcome of elections. And I also hope you are right about the math adding up to the largest blue wave defeat of anti-democratic candidates ever. Not a doomsayer but just wondering about possible scenarios because there are always unforeseen actions taken by those desperate Trump forces who are willing to do anything to try and win. Some pundits are even asking what happens if Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to seat newly elected Democratic representatives in The House due to some trumped up "voting irregularities" to be settled in court. I remember the precedent of Al Gore's stolen election that was "settled" in court. But I do hope all the war-gaming scenarios will be totally effective in defeating every instance of election rat-f***ing attempted by all the fascist goons, Justice Department stooges, Cabinet members and Congressional sycophants.

That includes Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project, who did a recent clickbait video on the topic.

Johnson’s term as speaker, and the terms of all representatives, ends at the end of this year.

On January 3, 2027, the 435 members-elect, as certified by their respective states, will convene at the Capitol and select a new speaker, who will then swear the rest in en masse.

There is a procedure where a member-elect can object to the seating of another member-elect, and there is a reason it hasn’t been used in over a hundred years at the beginning of a new congress, not even for George Santos: because it would set off a domino effect of tit-for-tat objections resulting in not a single member being seated.

Once the members-elect are certified, the courts have no role or jurisdiction in the process of seating and swearing in representatives.

Any imaginary doomsday scenario must take these facts into consideration rather than simply jumping to the end result and proclaim “he will just do it”.

It's the one thing we've got. Don't lose it or we lose everything.

paid off! Merci ma belle!

Donald Drumpf would think of that?

I hope NC will be one of them.
