  1. Flooding American cities via insurrection act. Banning mid term elections. Taking Greenland from a NATO ally. Any one of these godless acts will turn a fully armed America into a boiling caldron of hate and rage. And trump is promising all three. JFC.

  2. We are moving from the “its just a joke, he would never do it” to “early stages planning on feasibility and possible consequences”

    Expect the usual right wing chuggers to rationalize this by tuesday morning (after watching their stock portfolio collapse first)

    You can fucking bet as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow that he has entire groups of people dedicated to trying to figure out how to stop or game the midterms.

    Just like with everything else, the stupid shit cant keep his mouth closed when it comes to his actual intentions.

    Badmouths greenland -> makes actual economic strongarm attempt to get it.
    Bad mouths Venuela’s president -> takes him out.
    Bad mouths the midterms ->hmmm

  4. Elections run on a clock. They don’t run on permission. Anyone who tries and dismiss an election or its results is a tyrant.

    We held an election during the Civil War. We were adamant about holding that election as precedent against future tyrants who try and dismiss future elections.

  5. Why do people keep believing he has the authority to stop the elections, we’ve held elections during actual world wars. He doesn’t, the states control elections, it’s in that document we use as our foundational document, maybe people have heard of it, the Constitution.

    Naw yall are crazy k-k-karoline “legit” leavitt promised he was joking. Are you telling me she’s just another worthless lying asshole? No way not her, she’s got class and honor look at how she takes care of her dad ..what that’s her dad’s slightly older friend. Well shit. We’re all fucked. And not like kkkaroline were gonna get it real hard.

  7. I don’t believe he has the support to handle doing something super duper crazy. This would be one of those red lines that would backfire so spectacularly imo.

    A similar thing is already happening with Greenland. His ideas are pure batshit insanity and there’s no support domestically, abroad… from anywhere save maybe a giggling Putin.

    If he plays the fool enough and starts walking over a chasm, where’s the support going to come from.
