The dumbest of times.

[bigtree]

John Jackson @hissgoescobra
He really thinks, in a child-like understanding of reality, that’s he’s allowed to just make up laws with an executive order. It’s not even clear that he knows what statutes or constitutions are. The dumbest of times.



Article I, Section 4, Clause 1

"The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of choosing Senators."

...he's giving cover to republican states to move forward with restrictions to the vote, and hoping to intimidate other state legislatures to change their requirements to accomodate him.

Pretending to outlaw voting machines by EO is wild. Trump is convinced he can just keep bullying until he gets what he wants, having convinced a small number of weak people, businesses, and orgs that he's their Mafia Don.

Of course, it's actually Stephen Miller and his goon squad calling the shots at the WH from the Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation playbook.

I heard someone say that Dems are so fired up that they'll walk across broken glass to vote against Trump and republicans. We need to make clear that Trump doesn't actually have unilateral power to mandate these things, and how deep a tyranny against the people it is that he's trying.

1. and may I say this for the at least the 50th time!!!!!!! FAWK HIM.

[surfered]

2. We don't need no stinkin' Constitution.

VOTING MACHINES.

5. He's a rotten spoiled child

Who has never experienced consequences for his vile actions, someone has always covered for him including the media and his dad. The only consequences will be the angel of death due to his disgusting lifestyle.

[Hornedfrog2000]

6. Yeah, heard the broken glass thing before

Yet people cant even stop using social media, which shares a lot of the blame for the way things are going in this country

7. Idiocracy is a Documentary n/t

[Dave Bowman]

22. Absolutely! And a damn good movie also. 👍

[Septua]

8. He doesn't know the job description for the position he holds...

..or cares to know. But he knows what he wants and people like Stephen Miller and Pam Bondi are coaching him on what to do and how to go about doing it.

Trump is neither stable nor genius nor even impressively intelligent. He was born into wealth, inherited substantial wealth and learned early on he could intimidate or litigate or buy his way to what he wanted.

As has been noted, his mentality is more that of a mob boss...

[Dave Bowman]

27. He's been very close to the mob when his casinos were failing. Then it was the Russian mob.

[paleotn]

9. And the states say..."Shut the fuck up, Donnie."

[aggiesal]

28. NSFW. Enjoy!

[Irish_Dem]

10. Supreme Court lets Trump make the laws.

They are too busy taking bribes and going on luxury vacations to give a damn.

[Dave Bowman]

23. They are rotten to the core.

[Irish_Dem]

24. Traitors at the highest levels.

Disgusting. They have no shame at all.

[Dave Bowman]

25. Yes, that's infuriating that they keep getting away with it.

[Irish_Dem]

26. White House, Congress, Courts. Crooked, corrupt, evil.

No one stops them.
No one can.

12. The Orange Wizard of Ooze.

[progressoid]

13. He's just trying to gain back his base. He's said this before in previous twitter rants.

I pointed it out to some Trumpers that he himself has been a mail-in voter. The "discussion" that ensued still hurts my brain.

[Ponietz]

16. Tick tock Chuckles

[niyad]

17. What flavour pizza do you like?

[Javaman]

15. His lazy mind believes he can now rule by edict

Because all the “adults” from his first term are gone and have been replaced by cowards, sycophants, yes men, sociopaths and psychopaths

[Dem4life1970]

18. Other than the Big, Ugly, Liar's Law (B.U.L.L. for short)...

...all of Trump's 7 year old type "Executive Orders" (it's an insult and massive affront to the 45 other real Presidents of the United States and not this fake President to call them Executive Orders) are gone on Day 1 of a new Presidential Administration, hopefully Jan. 20, 2029.

[Rebl2]

19. Don't

Most places require I.D. to vote anyway. Also paper ballots are going to make election results much slower if they have to be hand counted and talk about recounts and lawsuits galore 🙄

[Intractable]

20. He knows what "statutes" are. There are plenty around the capital usually on pedestals.

[Dave Bowman]

21. It was the worst of time it was the dumbest of times.
