"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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
