Whether or not it was meant to, that chicken is sure as hell coming to roost now. As I type, it is legal for the US President to simply call a hit on me, as long as he claims he was acting in the interest of national security, we have no protection from him except for the threat of bad PR. You know, the one thing Trump has never been afraid of.
That raises the question: how deeply psychotic would Trump's statements have to be, to trigger the 25th? He's telling his rally crowds this week that American kids come home from school having been put through gender reassignment surgery -- without the parents' consent. This is barking mad, but he's still their boy. (And he's already in diapers, remember.)
Or simply by getting his corrupt Justices to say it’s an official act for him to disregard the statutes requiring another election in ’28.
Fugeddaboudit.
By military force, or threat thereof. Denial of the use of the National Capitol to certify any such thing, arresting/murdering those who don’t get the hint ..,
It will get darker before it gets lighter, no doubt about it. Luckily, fascism rarely has staying power. It always gets screwed in the end, as it can't deliver on its grandiose promises but is forced to use violence more and more often as core social institutions start to break down in favor of the croneyism necessary to keep the chambers loaded.
Oh. You seemed to imply he could stop an election from happening at all not just refuse the certification thereof.
Because it is working. His polling has improved since "they are eating the pets" and their 19th century anti-immigrant bigotry push. He lied about the illegals getting FEMA money and FEMA is ignoring the SE. And now he is continuing the push this concept that the left wing is trying to replace you. He is going with what works in America today thanks to shitty far right media.
The States can do whatever they want. They can send whoever they want to Washington, and once they get there, they can yell and scream.
I wouldn't be worried about hit lists. The big problem that matters in Project 2025 is the attempt to reclassify government workers, so they can be fired based on loyalty lines. The trouble with this is that the bureaucracy is a pain, but at least the people running it, understand it. The Project 2025 wing wants loyalty, not competency. And while the Government through shear inertia got through the first Trump Admin, if they dismantle things, it could make it much harder to do the second time around. People really have clue just how much is done locally with Federal dollars.
Harris still in the game, and may win handily in EVs (or barely in EVs). I'm not understanding the deficit she has on senators in PA, MI, and WI. It makes little sense.
Pffft! With your few hundred posts? You haven’t even been warned (afaik) for personal attacks against resident rumpsuckers!
Wouldn't that be against the forum rule prohibiting Hait speech?
