The end of democracy is going to happen unless Congress and the people stop him
In a sane world this would be a serious. Impeachable thing to suggest. But now it’s just Monday.
There you have it. Intent…in black and white.
Bongino was needed for the propaganda war more than law enforcement.
So, it will be 46-4 next election, got it. Kamala won 19 states I think.
I hope the DNC, Elias Law Group, etc, are ready to file an armada of injunctions against the Trump/Heritage Foundation war on American democracy in the midterms.
>President Donald Trump suggested that his party should seize control of elections in ‘at least 15 places’ and brazenly repeated a number of blatant lies about his electoral history in Minnesota and Georgia during a Monday phone interview with a right-wing podcaster who briefly served in a top FBI role last year.
It goes to show that elections are still a threat to this administration.
But more importantly: *do not wait for the midterms*.
**There are 44 elections in February alone** [according to Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Elections_calendar) that are spanning: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, New Jersey, Louisiana, Texas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Georgia, Iowa, Wisconsin, Delaware, Maine, and Pennsylvania.
Change *does not* start at the midterms or presidential elections; those elections only reinforce. Change *starts* at the numerous state, county, judicial, sheriff, mayor, city council, and education board election that happens between *now* and the midterms.
*Every* seat Democrats win at *any* level makes rigging the midterms that much harder for Trump. So *do not wait* until the midterms. Exercise every ounce of your right to vote *before* Trump moves to end them.
*Do not wait for the midterms.*

Watch wherever there is voter fraud, Trump received 100% of the vote 🤣.
Did god of self righteousness Bongino ask him about his involvement in the Epstein files, why they won’t release them all, and why the ones that *have* been released include dozens of unredacted victims’ names and photos?
How bout Noooo (insert bugs bunny meme here)
This is the plan. Control elections, subvert the will of the people. Trump and his cronies (entire cabinet) need to be fumigated from the White House like vermin or cockroaches.
Soon, you’ll have checkpoints at every state border, checking your political affiliation and asking why you’re visiting, how long you intend to stay, etc.
Reminder: Obama was criticized for days over wearing a grey suit.
Everything he says, imagine if Obama or Biden had said it. Republicans would storm the WH.
What is taking his health so long? Its obviously failing him, but not fast enough…
Because when loses, the law is coming for him
Democrats should start impeachment and force Republicans to defend the statement.
Reminder:
The Executive branch has no Constitutional role in federal elections.
Our founding fathers could see this sort of corrupt intent a mile away when they drafted the Constitution. It’s why states run and certify elections for federal office.
>Trump told Bongino there was “something in the water” in Minnesota
Yeah, and it’s the chemical weapons that your ICE agents are illegally using on citizens
Maybe try winning the elections with popular platforms that fucking help people
How can any conservative support this??
This is Stephen Miller. Trump is not coming up with this on his own.
Bongino saw firsthand that Trump raped children and this is how he spends his time.
And states should ignore this clown and hold elections as normal as the constitution dictates. What are current democrat leader doing to protect voting?
Fuck you Merrick Garland! Of course his own administration isn’t going to prosecute him, but you had so many slam dunk chances to put him away forever. Instead we’re stuck in this hell loop of insane behavior that does t even phase anyone anymore. THE PRESIDENT SHIT HIS PANTS LIVE, AND NO MEDIA OUTLET IS RUNNING WITH IT. 10 years ago this would be non-stop news.
What does that mean exactly? Take over what?
The sheer desperation of this administration is palpable.
The president is a pedophile, our foreign policy decision process has been completely tainted by blackmail for years, ICE and mass deportations are completely reviled, the economy is awful, everyone hates his foreign policy, protests are growing larger and more organized, his polling on every key issue is deep underwater, Democrats are beating Republicans in deep red places.
Everything is going bad for him, and he’s going to throw out the Constitution in its entirety because he and his aides are terrified of all the retribution they have exposed themselves to in their incautious accumulation of crimes.
The ACLU should sue immediately. Court cases take time. Let’s get the ball rolling.
Wait until we find out why trump was obsessed with Hannibal Lecter, kid veal is on the menu for these pedillionaires ….. Also this is how they get off when their floppy mushrooms can not even chud up anymore, Pedobirds of a feather Flock together
where is mini hitler doing shows out of?
I recommend everyone be ready. Organizing will need to be fast and late if it’s online due to surveillance. If you aren’t on the ground now at protests you’re going to miss your last chance at a democracy.
Republicans should really stop hating America
Quiet piggy!
Are 7 of them the swing states?
They are going to have ICE patrol the voting areas to instill fear on legal voters….I guarantee it.
This election is going to be something
The Raffensperger call should be enough for him to be imprisoned. Unbelievable that people voted for him after that. Truly unbelievable.
Taking over voting locations is explicit authoritarian talk for “rig the voting at those locations.”
Trump has exposed how Republicans have no respect for democracy as evidenced by their continued support.
I have never said “over my cold, dead body” and literally meant it, but here we are!
“We lost these 15 places, even though we cheated. We need to take over those locations to cheat better.”
At what point do we realize the Epstein class is a cancer that must be excised from our country permanently before they kill the entire thing?
Keep on cheating Donnie! You’re a fraud and a loser!!
We have no choice but to defend our election sites ourselves
To be clear, this is impossible without marital law and a new constitution. At which point, why bother with elections at all.
The more important point is that the President lacks a 5th grade understanding of civics.
The dictator knows there’s no future for his administration unless he rigs the system. Ya’ll Americans gonna be kissing organised elections as a whole goodbye soon if this clown stays around.
Impeachable offense!
Absolutely insane dictator behavior. He must be impeached!! What’s wrong with everybody?!
