Cool, so that's illegal.
You’re jumping ahead to a conclusion in the speech before even hearing it yourself
There's no jumping going on here. Dude's a broken af record. He can't stop lying about his loss. He will continue to lie about his loss.

Cool, so that’s illegal.
He will continue to lie about his loss.
I mean, he's doing a lot more than just lying. He flubbed 2018 because he wasn't prepared for the popular backlash to his first two years. But now he's got a new crew of pencil necked shits who are much more serious about a Permanent Republican Majority than the last gang.
What worries me about 2026 isn't that Trump's going to try to steal the election. Time and again, the GOP has demonstrated that they are willing to do whatever it takes to manufacture the appearance of popular approval. What worries me is that the opposition party's response to each new encroachment is to just roll the fuck over and blame voters for not voting hard enough.
Whether it's Operation Eagle Eye or EagleAI, J6 or the Brooks Brothers' Riot, the Democrats only seem to want to take power if its straight up shoved into their laps. And even then, they don't want to do anything with it, unless the thing is giving more fascists more money to bomb more brown people overseas.
Trump will go into 2026 saying he's winning. He'll insist the exit polls are rigged and insist his party won in November. And then he'll fight tooth and nail to make his bullshit lies a reality. And he'll have Larry Ellison and Peter Thiel and Marc Andressen and Miriam Adelson and Tilman Fertitta all throwing their considerable wealth and clout right behind him when he does.
I haven't seen anything to suggest Schumer or Jefferies or Gavin Newsom or Tim Walz or any other national Democrat with a hint of clout will do a damned thing to stop him. We'll get a 5-4 decision from the SCOTUS saying Trump is Dictator For Life, and they'll all just shrug and blame Transgender Palestinian Communists for the loss.
LOL it's so cute how she pretends it's not going to just be another long rant about the 2020 election, and how they need to rig the 2026 election to ensure it's "safe" and "secure", just like they did when they called for gerrymandering.
Where are your bingo cards, folks?
- Need to install ICE at every blue or swing polling station to ensure there are no illegals and totally not to harrass and intimidate voters?
- Need to exercise some sort of emergency power to cancel the election?
"Everything he says will be backed by evidence."
Nothing he's ever said has been backed by evidence. Zero things. There is no reason to believe that this will be different.
Seems these days the Republican way is "if we can't find evidence we'll create some"
Alternative facts
Evidence: a tweet where someone claims to have talked to someone who claims they saw it. Boom! What more can you ask??
it's called truth social, so i declare that it's truthful and factual
Everyone lies but meeee! Believe only meeeee!
He once said he'd bang his daughter, and all the evidence seems to back this.
Exactly. This dumbass lied about something really basic like the reflecting pool, making claims that were almost sure to turn out to be blatantly false.
We should be executing these fucks for treason on primetime tv.
Probably the best ratings Trump will ever have.
That would be something to tell the kids about!
States run their own elections. They can and will simply ignore whatever nonsense he says.
They can and will simply ignore whatever nonsense he says.
Yes. On which side of that do you think the national guardsmen will take? What about the Marines or the Navy Seals? What if he has ICE go do his bidding?
I think the national guardsmen will take the side of whatever the courts and/or their home states decide, which is exactly what happened with them after their deployments last year.
I think it's a possibility that ICE could be hanging around polling places, but there are far too few of them and far too many polling places for it to be a meaningful difference.
My advice is to organize. Be a poll worker. Volunteer to escort people to the polls, especially if you're a white male. Use your privilege for good. It has to be too big to rig.
The plan isn't going to merely be ICE intimidating voters.
It'll be ICE seizing ballot boxes/machines and either
- Destroying them
- Falsifying votes for Republicans until they win
- Some of 1, some of 2
Then, their plan is to fight it in the courts until the stolen "new congress" is sworn in
Then do your part and sign up to be an election judge. Nobody who is a poll worker has ever said that an election was stolen.

The federal government and the president control the military. You can't beat Fascism by pointing to "process".
Like, how the fuck many times does the "process" need to be violated for people to stop pointing to it as their protection?
Fascist take power by exploiting this exact type of thinking you are showing here. They don't go "all at once". They take steps forward and steps back. Pushing forward but keeping the idea of "process" for you to cling to.
"They can't just do X because Y"
Then they do X, and Y is vaguely or partially pandered to by the "opposition". Y fails to stop X completely, but "don't worry" we still have Z and Z is really where they'll be stopped.
Rinse and repeat. That's how we got to this point.
Try that with stormtroopers at every polling place, see how it goes.
It's not gonna stop me, is it gonna stop you?
Why are people so brain dead with their individualism? It's not about you! I'm gonna assume you're white and/or don't have a family that you support.
You're not "brave". You're either privileged or stupid if you don't realize that having ICE agents at polling stations is going to intimidate people. Not because they are "cowards" or whatever you're trying to imply. But because the average mother or father aren't going to risk their family being separated or imprisoned.
You're not brave for going to vote. If you want to be brave, go use your privilege on election day, organize with other privileged people, arm yourselves, and remove ICE from your city.
If you're not willing to take THAT risk. Then stfu about your heroic act of "going to vote" when you clearly have no worry of consequence.
See my other comment where I call out my fellow white males to use our privilege and volunteer to escort people to polling places.
Respect. But, in the context I replied to I'll still stand behind what my initial comment. Cheers.
Can, yes. Will? Not all of them.
I'm now convinced they could come out and say "we are running elections now, and by the way Trump is eligible for a 3rd term" and no one would do a goddamn thing.
@HumanOnEarth @Sunflier Democrats would scream and I'd look to leave this idiotic place one way or another. The goal is fear and looking at Levitt and her sugar daddies does that. Get me outta here.
If the Republicans think the 2020 elections were fraudulent they can give up all the seats it gave them.
Spoiler alert!
Spoiler
He's increasing the distance between "free & fair" and "elections"
Someone should do something.
You're someone.

I might believe her even less than trump
King Pedo decrees "no one can vote fer anyone but me! I'm the bestest! Everyone else is awful. Only me me ME!"
Then he shits himself, drools, and wanders off AND NO ONE BATS A FUCKING EYE AND REMOVES THIS CANCEROUS DODDARD FROM OFFICE.
We are not simply going to vote our way out of this
After his "election emergency" thing in a bit, he's going to ensure there are no more elections. Does this cancer need to be cut out with a guillotine's blade?
"Safest and most secure elections in the world"
Note the conspicuous absence of "fair"
there are going to be elections in america, in the same way there are elections in NK. the kims get 99% of the "vote"

Super awkward that the Trump administration killed the project for fully bootstrapped trusted election systems. Literally preventing world leading experts from actually achieving that goal.
I have have never heard anything with an honest eye.
"Don't worry, he'll not get a third term of office."
Eh? how's it going on that front?
