Trump just posted that he will have an "Election Integrity Army" in every state

[senseandsensibility]

this November, according to Aaron Rupar on bluesky. We have been warned. I may not know much, fellow DUers, but I know that this "army" will have nothing to do with election integrity.

Then again, it shows how skeered he is even after the SC and VA judges did their best to hand the midterms to him. He knows it's still not going to be enough.

1. EIA differs from DEI in what way, exactly??

Trump's got some buffoonery to 'splain.

[Chipper Chat]

2. Doesnt he mean "Erection Integrity Army"

[ColoringFool]

10. He Wishes.

3. Not to interrupt this thread, but it is the Epstein Integrity Army.

Release the damn files unredacted RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

[calimary]

4. Sounds like something he'd do

to force his way on all the rest of us.

There WILL be payback, donald. No idea when, where, how, or from whom. But it will be coming.

It IS coming.

5. I'm pretty sure that fouls election law!

I’m certain we have heard this tom *uckery before! Time for a meeting of the Secretaries of State! We don’t need to hear this crap for another two years!

6. So says the POtuS who attempted to overthrow the results of a fair election

He is telegraphing his intent to STEAL the election by force with his private army of fascist thugs.

Will the mainstream media spell this out to make the American people understand this threat?

7. Wait...

Tammany Hall again?
Wait…
No Shit!!!

17. He makes Tammany Hall look like the Little Rascals..

8. There Will Be No "Army"

Just limited gaggles of zealots pretending they're doing something & imagining they have any influence.

11. Yep. One simply has to compare the number of voting precincts nationwide...

to whatever "army" the magats could somehow scrap together. Donnie is spouting bullshit. Another day that ends in Y.

9. Gestapo...without the secret part

Gestapo:

The Gestapo (short for Geheime Staatspolizei or Secret State Police) was the official, brutal secret police force of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. Established by Hermann Göring, it was designed to identify and eliminate threats to the Nazi regime through surveillance, torture, and arbitrary detention, operating above the law and without judicial review.

18. It's what I call Trump's goons because it's exactly what they ARE.

[Ford_Prefect]

12. IMO If he does this they will be arrested and barred from the county. My local county clerk has said as much.

[usonian]

13. ICE. and why it's urgent to sent ICE to Iran, all of them, right now.

Arrest and detain all those mines in the sea.

14. Trump has a huge problem

I doubt Trump's fan base cares about his pedophilia. I have seen A LOT of huge pickups with two bumper stickers on them: one demanding pedophiles be killed next to a Trump campaign sticker. Like the Sesame Street song goes, one of these things is not like the other.

What they DO care about is paying $200 to gas up their F-350 pickups, and Trump is wholly responsible for that.

It's come to the point where Trump has decided the only way he can keep his congressional majority is to deploy goon squads, probably exclusively in precincts where it is felt that a lot of Trump opponents live.

[paleotn]

15. Your last statement. Exactly! We shouldn't let this bullshit frighten us.

They're going to do what? Monitor every voting precinct? Nope. There are over 175,000 voting precincts nationwide. And voting is a state matter constitutionally and jealously guarded. Good luck with interfering with that on the state level. It's just the usual bullshit he spouts when he knows he's in trouble and running out of options.

And state supremes didn't hand him the mid terms. Most red states are gerrymandered to the hilt anyway so there's really not much squeeze left. And what there is only dilutes red votes. In this environment where he and his party are grossly unpopular, that's dangerous for Republicans. Taking a few safe, greater than +10 red districts and doubling them to only +5 red runs a hell of a risk. Fear of that risk is what drove Indiana Republicans to balk at further gerrymandering. It becomes self defeating after a point. Many Republicans think that point might have been passed already.

16. Thank you for the somewhat optimistic

and reasonable, fact based post.
