"Trump says Republicans should 'nationalize' elections, take control from states"

 



Remember when Democratic Presidents Obama and Biden told Rachel Maddow on her cable show that the Democrats need  to take over the voting process?

No. Of course not. Because if either of them had ever uttered such insane rubbish, the Republicans in Congress and around the country would have swallowed their tongues in paroxysms of hot red rage.

But Trump just recently suggested that very thing. 

That insane thought sprang from his fatuous, witless brain and then his vocal cords, by vibrating air from his lungs, produced a buzzing tone -- sound waves that were then shaped into words by his throat, mouth, tongue, and lips, which acted as resonators and articulators to produce the words that this senescent fool expelled on the Dan Bongino Show: 




 Trump calls in to the Dan Bongino Show: "The Republicans should say, 'We want to take over. We should take over the voting.'"



WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Republicans should "nationalize" the voting process as he continues to level unfounded claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election more than five years after losing to Joe Biden. 

Trump called for Republicans at the federal level to seize control of elections from states during an appearance on the podcast of Dan Bongino, who returned to his show on Feb. 2 after resigning in January as FBI deputy director in the Trump administration.

Trump, obviously, has never read the Constitution. He's a dull-witted and lazy man who cares nothing for the rule of law; and, apparently, he believes anything that his putrescent mind imagines will be implemented and carried out just because he says so.

 
Article 1, Section 4 of the Constitution explains that the States have the primary authority over election administration, the "times, places, and manner of holding elections".

  1. When asked about past conflicts of his statements and, you know, thuth, on the Sean Hannity Show, Bongino had this to say...

    "You know, listen, I was paid in the past [on my podcast], Sean [Hannity], for my opinions. [Now] I'm paid to be your deputy director [of the FBI], and we base investigations on facts".

    A tacit admission from Bongino that statements he made on his show were not true, or not factual. How do know this? Because hannity asked him about the contradictions between his podcast statements and statements he was then making as the Deputy Director of the FBI.

    This is where a US President went to call for the federalization of the US elections, in violation of the US Constitution he swore uphold and defend.

    To a show hosted by an admitted liar, to lie himself.

  2. On the interwebz the question on everyone's mind is this: if the Trumpstein files had dropped with any other president that would be it. All congressional business would screech to a stop and the hearings would begin. Millions of pages of documents and yet still there are GOP lackeys telling the talking heads that if there were any evidence... What do they think witness statements, call logs, and flight logs are? They have the evidence, they just don't want to go after anyone powerful and apparently the names included in the files are the very elite of the elite.

    And now this - the president of the USA trashes State's Rights and the Constitution and just casually announces that he wants to take over the election.

    I've been advising using the law and courts to do our fighting but... wow. Haven't heard any strategies from my usual voices. Perhaps they are conferring with all the Constitutional lawyers they know. And perhaps they are thinking about how to enforce a judgement against the president and his cabinet when they've ignored the 90+ previous judgements which ruled against them.

    Violence is so close and I'm doing everything I can to deluge the ether with for the good of all and may it harm none. Bullets = harm so no to bullets, yes to citizens finding their courage to do the correct thing because it's the correct thing to do.

    Off to meditate. Stay frosty my friends. MAGA is popping like kernels of corn because they are waking up to find it was never the Drag Queens.

  3. It seems the demented one believes that Dem votes are cheating. As for Hannity, the college drop out is paid $36 million a year by faux noooze.
    Really hard to believe, the whole chaotic gang would be jailed in a functioning democracy.

  4. Be prepared. For either marshal law or nationalization of elections. The rethuglican fascist party will do everything its Fuhrer Trump demands. And the corrupted scotus will bless it for their Fuhrer Trump.

  5. Actually Grey, the question on everyone's mind is who is going to return their land back to the people they stole it from. Boston, Philadelphia, NYC all should surrender their houses back to the people they stole it from.
    That is what Billie Eilish is going to do and the left wing community needs to follow her lead.
    As to nationalizing the elections, won't happen but good fodder for the left.

  6. Yup, like J6 2021 was a tourist tour, not an insurrectionist attempt. Like Trump was going to announce his better Healthcare plan which never hapened. Like ICE murdering innocent people on their streets isn't true. Like the thugs Fuhrer's corrupt scotus would never overturn Roe-v-Wade. Like he ended 8 wars.

    Your nuts skud and you, in your daze of illusions, continue supporting your Fuhrer and his fascist party. We know you're damn proud of supporting chaos, division, hate, and the unconstitutionalliy of your Fuhrer's continuous attempts to overturn our democratic republic.

    You're part of the problem skud and it's obvious your damn proud of it.

  7. Les, You are well aware I am not a fan of trump's but I am a fiscal conservative and support neither party because both of them have no plan of fiscal conservation.
    I will admit I detest hypocrites from both parties but the democrats seem to exude this trait the most. With their tax the rich and support the illegals until it comes to really supporting them. They were in support of biden until they weren't and when it was reported by the liberal press that biden was cognitively impaired they kicked him to the curb. They want to house illegals and homeless as long as it is in another neighborhood. Have you opened your house to an illegal family or street resident. Have you pledged 20% of your wealth to a charity. Didnt' think so even though a vow of poverty is part of the Buddhist belief. I may be nuts but at least I am not a hypocrite.

    1. Skud... to answer your question... yes, I've had people staying at my house who have been here illegally. I've housed them and hired them. We give over 20% of our income to churches and organizations that serve homeless people and people in their own country, so they can have a better life and support their families where they'd prefer to live.

      Does that allow me to say your your views are a bunch of BS?

      You've never once offered a solution to anything anyone here has criticized about the Trump Admin, the MAGA crowd or your group, feckless conservatives. But you'll slam "sleepy joe" or the "swell guy" in a minute.

      How about you deal with post?

      President Trump said the federal government should takeover and run elections in our country. He said it. His press secretary tried to say he was talking about Voter ID, but then he doubled down in the Oval Office after that.

      A US President is openly talking about ignoring the US Constitution.

      And his supporters in Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson among them, defend saying "he believes" as you do, "the 2020 election" was rigged and stolen from him.

      Newsflash... there's no proof, no evidence, no grassy knoll, no second gunman, nothing.

      This is why Dub keeps asking you to clarify your point on the 2020 election. because you're a troll, unable to concede.

      You amigo, and all your Trump, current GOP supporting MAGA trolls are killing our country, one lie after another.

      Here's the question Skud... maybe you'll reply.

      Do you believe Joe Biden was legitimately elected president in 2020?

      One word... Yes... or No.

      Can you do it?

  8. Not that I disagree with Billie Eilish but when was she elected queen of the left?

    Your final comment to Les - LOL you aren't a hypocrite skud? ROLF ROLF LOLOLOLOL skud, your picture is literally the illustration of the word hypocrite.

    Also please explain to me how a person at their immigration hearing at the Immigration office is an "illegal"? I ask because of the footage shown of ICE arresting folks at their freaking immigration hearing that they'd been appearing at for years. Seems like they were doing things the "right" way and yet were deported because their skin tone wasn't the hue our current admin values.

    Your talking points are failing you. We see exactly who you are skud. Your lies will not protect you this time. We said what is happening in Minneapolis was going to happen and you called me (and others) hysterical and deranged yet here we are.

    Trump said on air that he wants to nationalize elections, you say never going to happen, that it's just "fodder" for the left. Yeah, sure skud.

    I'm will never not you on anything skud because your track record is crap. You probably remember our conversations differently. Yeah, that's a mental illness where you are always the victim/hero and never the bad guy. It's a handy coping mechanism to prevents you from having to look closely at what you say or do because your memories are covered by the patina of the cult.

    And skud, for the record, both parties aren't killing citizens in the streets. Both parties aren't violating peoples rights to due process. Both parties are not the same and that the fact you keep saying they are is can be attributed entirely to your indoctrination into the MAGA cult.

  9. Dave, The actions of ICE is not appropriate and is out of control. The issue that is not addressed is why this is happening. Had the former president not opened the border and invited millions of illegals to cross the border maybe we wouldn't have this issue now. I know you won't place any blame on beach chair but that was the start.
    You want me to answer you question about the 2020 election. I would rather live in the present than the past and that election is past.

    1. But, Skud, you just brought up the past when you blamed former President Biden for the border problem. I guess you’d rather live in the present when government goons are brutalizing, shooting, and killing Americans in the streets of Minnesota. Or is that too far in the past for you to care about?

  10. A confirmation of allegiance to authoritarianism and chaos by again not answering directly.

    LMAO!

  11. Ms. Shaw, The past is directly related to the present. Had we not allowed millions to enter we would not have to make millions leave. I don't think the method being used is correct but I also think attacking LEO's is not correct either.
    What I question is why conservatives don't rally in mass to protest against abuse of police and why the left doesn't protest the against child abuse. Guess neither cares because the media will not attend a peaceful event.

    1. The past is directly related to the present you said while also saying "I would rather live in the present than the past and that election is past."

      Guess I am wrong. skud doesn't have just a reading for comprehension issue, they have a reading AND writing for comprehension issue.

      You think the left isn't protesting against SA against children? Wow. Just... wow. You do remember the GOP has used the SA of children against the LGBTQIA+ community for more than a minute?

      Have you viewed any of the signs carried by protestors not already sanitized for your viewing pleasure by your voices of authority? I'm thinking not as your comments would be different if you had.

      Anyone else notice that skud is painting themselves into a corner?

      Nowhere to run now except your own thoughts skud. Good luck, you are going to need it.
