  1. I usually respect your opinions, but this one is pretty short-sighted. It seems clear to me that this is a pretext for sending ICE to intimidate voters in blue precincts. There doesn’t have to be a legal mechanism when he has a devoted paramilitary agency.

  2. every day i see hundreds of comments of people spinning elaborate scenarios to explain how trump can control everything and all opposition is futile. a) i think a lot of you need to log off and stop following professional doomsayers. b) i think a lot of you are cowards

  3. Isn’t this another action that would disenfranchise the very voters that he has relied on to win elections too? I don’t doubt that some Republican state legislators would comply to please him, but I’m not sure it would work out for them.

  4. They may have their reasons for introducing some scepticism. 1. If Congress choose to do nothing about it, and 2. If the supreme court choose to interpret it as such and grant him some new powers.

  5. Easy to see SCOTUS letting Trump get away with this.

    Hard to see Dem state election officials carry out these orders, and they cover every swing state but GA.

  6. the learned helplessness is so weird. There have been some significant victories so far this year from people fundamentally standing in place and telling Trump to go fuck himself. And people are desperate not to learn from them.

  7. "Nothing matters" because the entire Republican party, Dem leadership, social media, and most traditional media, support or sanewash Trump.

    Sure get mad at people shouting at the void while you have the privilege of an audience within an institution which has gleefully run interference for him.
