[Bo Zarts]

5. (Or NOT held ..)

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Evidence of Republican Party intent to legislate & erode the Constitution

[SergeStorms]

20. Or "re-write" the Constitution.

Just so he can add "small changes" which would make being a dictator easier for him.

That's the problem he has with the people who wrote our country's founding documents. They were so inconsiderate when it came to insane dictator "wanna-bes" like him.
There ought to be a law.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

7. Maybe he should move to the UK then

Nah they wouldn't let him in.

[sop]

8. Looks like Schnecksville is the new Nuremberg, Trump's own MAGA Reichsparteitagsgelnde*

*The Nazi (MAGA) party rally grounds in Nuremberg.

[Fla Dem]

9. He wants to move it to Tuesday so if he's elected, he can stop the Hush Money Trial.

[Midnight Writer]

30. They may call it Stormy Monday, but Tuesday is just as bad.

[vanlassie]

36. OMG

[3auld6phart]

10. Damn that

Bag of filth is still taking up space here. I there no end to the torture?.

[Hotler]

11. If the right takes power this will be the last election until the dictator is removed by force. nt

[brush]

12. the dictator wannabe moron still thinks parts of the Constitution can be done away witn...

any time he feels like it. He'll soon find out he can't as his first criminal trial starts tomorrow.

[Kid Berwyn]

13. Republicans should be ashamed.

…And held to account for helping Putin foist the bronzed traitor on America.

[CrispyQ]

28. Bronzed? You're too kind. He's fucking orange.

This alone is evidence that he's not playing with a full deck.

[Kid Berwyn]

31. Good catch! "Bronzered" is a much more apt word.

Trump wouldn't wear COVID medical mask because it smeared his bronzer

ETA: As in "the unsplendid bronzered beast."

14. Override the Constition?!?

JFC, he actually said that out loud?

[Pototan]

15. By the way, the incumbent party can call an early election

in the UK. Or, the coalition government calls for a vote of "no confidence" triggering their election. But it's not next week, in any case. The is still a decent interval until voting.

[Wonder Why]

23. On the other hand, it's not four years of campaigning! Just think! No lying political ads for YEARS!

[edhopper]

16. If this were the UK

he would have been out in 2018 when his Party lost Congress.

[BonnieJW]

18. If this were the UK

He would be in the Tower of London waiting to be beheaded

[dalton99a]

17. "Trump Uber Alles"

[Mysterian]

19. And the MAGA sheep bleated their approval!

As their god-emperor promised to destroy the republic of the USA.

[paleotn]

21. A moron leading the morons.

To paraphrase Matthew 15:14.

22. Ole Abe called it

“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.”

—Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to Col. William F. Elkins, November 21, 1864

29. FAKE NEWS

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/abraham-lincolns-capitalism-prophecy/

These words did not originate with Abraham Lincoln, however — they appear in none of his collected writings or speeches, and they did not surface until more than twenty years after his death (and were immediately denounced as a "bold, unflushing forgery" by John Nicolay, Lincoln's private secretary). This spurious Lincoln warning gained currency during the 1896 presidential election season (when economic policy, particularly the USA's adherence to the gold standard, was the major campaign issue), and ever since then it has been cited and quoted by innumerable journalists, clergymen, congressmen, and compilers of encyclopedias.

[SARose]

32. Thanks

I had no idea.

I kinda think FAKE NEWS was a little harsh, though. 💕

[Charlie Chapulin]

24. He wants the election Tuesday

Because he is going on trial Monday.

[Liberal In Texas]

25. Bingo!

[Irish_Dem]

26. This is what the GOP wants too.

It is not just Trump.
It is the whole lot of them.

Voters and elections are in their way and a nuisance.

[CrispyQ]

27. Next Tuesday? LOL. He REEKS of desperation!

He's terrified of this trial. Michael Cohen said there were going to be surprises & he knows pretty much everything.

Also, there's the whole mental & physical component of having to behave & keep quiet & being constrained for hours at a time with limited bathroom breaks. He was allowed to walk out of the civil trial but I don't think that's the case in this trial. He will be forced to sit there quietly & this will eat away at him as he grows more & more uncomfortable physically but doesn't want to let on that he has a bathroom issue.

It will be interesting! My husband thinks someone in the Trump family is going to die before tomorrow morning.

33. If TFG is re-elected, there will be no future elections

[Ping Tung]

34. I didn't know that prisons even have constituons to override.

[jmowreader]

35. Well...this makes sense

By November all the money he's taken in donations to his campaign will have been spent on appealing his New York State conviction, his probable Georgia conviction and fighting his two federal cases.

Other than that it makes no sense: Almost no one likes the bastard now. Why does he think he's going to get elected again?

[StoolPigeon]

37. I'd like to help you out, Trump.

Just stop by my office Monday morning.
