Attorney General Todd Blanche has declined to pledge DOJ’s independence from the White House and would not rule out similar suits in other states
Donald Trump says he ordered the Department of Justice to sue the state of Alaska in an effort to block the results of a U.S. Senate election from being certified, unless the incumbent Republican wins.
Government attorneys filed a lawsuit Friday arguing that the presence of Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. on the ballot would confuse voters who support the sitting senator, Daniel S. Sullivan, in the unusual matchup of two candidates with the same name up against a Democratic candidate.
“I’m the one that said do it,” Trump told reporters Friday. “They have two Dan Sullivans.”
Trump’s admission of an extraordinary intervention in the nation’s elections follows the president’s threats to overhaul election administration and assert federal control before critical midterm elections with the balance of power in Congress, and fate of his final years in office, at stake.
If that moron had any neurons at all, he’d know to keep his plots quiet. How can someone simultaneously so stupid and evil become President of the United States?
Because a lot of Americans are fucking stupid and racist
Bigotry of all kinds (racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, etc…) are a symptom of stupidity. Only stupid people cling to uneducated beliefs and refuse to believe the information that explains why they’re wrong
The answer is enough stupid and evil people chose it. They literally chose the rapist, traitor liar.
He knows he doesn’t need to keep quiet because nothing is going to be done about it
He does it because there are absolutely zero consequences for him doing it.
The dude has effectively gotten away with being a rapist and a paedophile. A little thing like election interference won’t stop him.
