The Washington Post reported that activists are working with the White House on an executive order to declare a “national emergency” over America’s elections and pave the way for a power grab.
“Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting,” reported the Post‘s Isaac Arnsdorf. “President Donald Trump has repeatedly previewed a plan to mandate voter ID and ban mail ballots in November’s midterm elections, and the activists expect their draft will figure into Trump’s promised executive order on the issue.”
Peter Ticktin, a MAGA activist in favor of the executive order, told the Post that “we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes,” and that “the president has to be able to deal with it,” including by banning mail-in ballots and certain voting machines.
His MO has been to use “emergency” as a power grab even when nothing gives him any powers over these issues even if he claims an emergency.
Fuck you, you fucking orange turd. If everything is an emergency, then nothing is.
Just like every other shithead dictator. It’s well past time to go sic semper tyrannis on him.
Well that’s because the courts avoid defining what an emergency is in every single case. No court is ultimately willing to limit his power. Even the last tariff case was shot down because the law he used didn’t have language about tariffs in them, not because it wasn’t an emergency.
Same as ‘think of the (insert impoverished group du jour)…!’
Nah bro, trump does every night while he’s trying to pork melania.
