Donald Trump announced Sunday that Republicans plan to dispense a large “Election Integrity Army” to every single state for the 2026 midterms – invoking his debunked claims that the United States does not have fair elections. In a message on his Truth Social platform the president appeared to attribute his “Historic Election in 2024” to the fact that the Republican National Committee sent thousands of volunteers across the country to poll watch or assist with election litigation through a volunteer program. “During my Historic Election in 2024, when I won every single Swing State, and decisively won both the Electoral and Popular votes by wide margins, the Republicans had an Election Integrity Army in every single State to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote. We will be doing the same again in 2026, but it will be much bigger and stronger,” Trump wrote. Trump did not elaborate on who would be part of the “Election Integrity Army” or how large it would be.

      If we don’t kill him now, it will be too late by the midterms.

      If you weren’t an ML, I’d have a discussion with you, but since you’re clearly only interested in watching the US catch on fire, I don’t think talking to you would be useful.

      I’m emigrating in July. Fuck you people.

      LOL.

      Where to? I’m struggling with visas for places my wife and I want to live. We have backups where it’s not an issue, just less ideal weather.
