A secret 17-page draft has been circulating among pro-Trump activists and the White House that would potentially give President Donald Trump the path to "unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting," a The Washington Post report revealed Thursday.The draft executive order claims that China i...
This is only technically true. He’s found a loophole where he makes an obviously illegal order, and that order is in effect for months before it is struck down, and then he can just make a new order like he’s doing right now with tariffs. He keeps getting away with it because the legislative branch is complicit.
What happens if he declares that to prevent voter fraud, voters need to prove eligibility in a way that prevents poor people, or people who have changed names, or people who live in a home owned by somebody else, or nationalized citizens, or people living in selectively restricted voting districts, or people who have a skin tone inaccurately recognized by specifically choosen facial recognition software, or people who are “accidentally” detected to be inactive voters, or people who are just afraid of being disappeared by ICE from voting, and it is enforced long enough to impact the election? Will he finally be thrown out of office before the election? If not, will the people illegally prevented from voting have their votes counted after the order is struck down? Would those people be able to vote before some other illegal order goes into effect or would elections and their results be constantly delayed?
Court delays are how we ended up with W, which led to 9/11, Iraq, the 2007 housing bubble, Obama, the backlash, the Birthers, and Trump.
They can certainly keep trying loopholes and no question he has been allowed to get away with way more than any citizen, let alone president, should. But this is ‘Better Call Saul’ style lawfare, it seems very clever and kind of shocking that he can get away with it but gravity always kicks in eventually. His former biographer Michael Wolff has spent a shitload of time w him and I think correctly has said Trump is not some kind of evil genius, he’s not Hitler he is a Hitler FAN, and thus, quite stupid and quite crazy. He is chaos. And while you can get by on that for a little while, eventually it collapsed and everyone associated with him ends up dragged into the abyss. It’s possible he may walk away or pass away or whatever without consequences but make no mistake… He is and always has been, a deeply damaged and mentally ill person who cannot help breaking everything he touches. This guy burned away his dad’s fortune, self destructed a reality TV dynasty, served as president and STILL managed to become the first president to be charged w a felony and then he ran on exposing a pedophile network that HE WAS INVOLVED IN. Do the math man, apples still fall from trees and Trump ain’t magical. We may be about to witness the most spectacular and public failure in human history.
