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.

        ‘The democrats didn’t run a primary 4 months before the general election, so I’m going to sit out because the VP of the current president stood down because I was mad that he had a debate and did poorly whilst being sick and being jet lagged. The democrats also said I couldn’t be a member of the Pink Pony Club and I didn’t like that.’

      They are still insisting that they are in the right.

      I say that a movement that can’t be bothered to vote, or even spoil its ballot, is not credible in doing the higher order civil disobedience.

        They literally expect people to fight a civil war against the Republicans, then they expect to have a seat at the table in the restructuring of the government.

        They are literally the reason this shit is happening. Fuck the Idle Left. They do nothing but complain.
