The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary. It’s horrible what’s going on,"
Didn’t he, uhm, just recently voted through mail in Florida?
He also cheats on his wives, cheats on his taxes, cheats taxpayers out of their own money by funneling back into himself, cheats his contractors out of payments… It’s literally all he knows. Every accusation is a confession.
WATCH: Trump
No thanks!
Rules of the comm say you have to use the exact title of the article. I had taken that off and then realized it had to stay if the post was to remain up.
Yeah, I think it’s safe to say that no one wants to watch an orange pustule erupt.
Well, it allowed my silly joke, so I approve. :)
Now that the dominion voting booths are rigged the only way that the Republicans can really lose an election is with mail in voting, so all this makes sense
His hands are tiny lol
executive order
That’s as useful as a fart
Depends on what people do with it. If state governments comply, then it works. If they don’t, it doesn’t.
I suspect some states might comply, but others probably not.
Tell that to DOGE and the destruction it left in its wake
Seems like more people should be upset about this, but I guess we’ve all given up on democracy.
On the bright side, at least kids in the future won’t have to memorize the Bill of Rights.
This just happened yesterday. Take a deep breath already
kids don’t do that now
Apparently, neither do adults.
Most people probably aren’t aware of it yet.
Lemmy gives us a very skewed perspective on how informed the general population is.
But there are already lawsuits being prepared.

You, maybe. Certainly nowhere near ALL. I was out there on Saturday. It’s FAR from over.
Equal and more equal.
Probably:

Yeah, this is extreme even for this administration. Even the rubber stamp Supreme Court will have to reject this one.
The question is whether Drump believes it himself or just cares about the temporary scare suppressing voting, hoping to draw it out until November
“The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary. It’s horrible what’s going on,” Trump said, repeating his false allegations about mail ballots as he signed the order. “I think this will help a lot with elections.”
“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth.”
George Orwell, ‘1984’
As an American, Is there a way to not be on his list?
The only people on the list already voted for him three times.
I think you missunderstand the full purpose of these lists. As a black man I don’t won’t anything to do with an fascist regimes “list”
While they are stupid, they’re not that stupid. If the next election shows voting for Republicans at like 90% levels, people will not accept it.
…but if it shows places that were at 45% at like 51%…
We already accepted it. Millions of people were purged from voter rolls. Polling stations in Democratic and minority areas were shut down. Mail-in ballots were discarded. Bomb threats in Atlanta. Hell, Bush v Gore was a stolen election.

Give him a few million dollars.
States control elections. Donny can fuck off.
He’s going to say his people have to run blue states, and if they don’t go along with it he’ll try to say their elections don’t count.
Then have congress just not come into new session to seat anyone.
Even if the article didn’t explicitly talk about it it’s weird how many people really can’t see that coming and legitimately think he’ll start following both letter and spirit of the law.
Not saying that he won’t try, but the president has no (constitutional) say in the sitting of congress.
I looked it up and in Powell vs McCormack (1969), the Supreme Court ruled that the speaker of the house has no authority to deny a representative sent by their respective state. So, unless the current Supreme Court decides to overturn that precedent, it would require a 2/3 majority vote of the newly-seated house to expel someone, assuming I’ve understood correctly (which is questionable).
Tl;dr: I think even this couldn’t necessarily prevent folks who win in November from serving.
The president has no…
When was the last time that mattered?

Buddy…
You don’t think John Thune and Mike Johnson wouldn’t listen to trump if he says to not call the new Congress into session?
How the fuck can someone be so authentically naivie in 2026, to think the mastermind conspiracy of that is just too far fetched?
Like, you might as well have said:
Of course billionaires pay taxes, it’s the law
Tl;dr: I think even this couldn’t necessarily prevent folks who win in November from serving
I legit can’t tell if that’s a typo or brainrot. But you still don’t understand any of this
Did you used to work for the Justice Department, by chance?
“Guys, it turns out that molesting and raping children is indeed illegal for an American citizen. I think we might be able to prosecute Trump, and a whole lot of other people. I’m gonna share this with the office, I call it The Epstein files.”
tl;dr: Trump owns the Supreme Court
Yeah this will be shot down so fast, I’m not worried at all
…by whom?
As right wing as the Supreme Court is now, there’s no way they allow this. They’ve already shot down less overt shit he’s wanted.
Even if they do though, I don’t think the Democratic States would comply regardless of a SC decision saying so. It is so clearly unconstitutional that I think they would outright refuse that interpretation.
Even if they don’t comply, it will be used to muddle the veracity of the elections. Maybe he’d just ignore the results from those states. And by the time all THAT is sorted, it will be too late and we’ll be even MORE fucked than we already are.
The judicial system
Pretty sure this is gonna be a literal whitelist, as in white voters.
This is very clearly what they wanted all those state voter rolls for.
If the US has free and fair and honest elections, the Republicans will lose their majorities, therefore Trump (with the brazenly dishonest support of the corrupt and compromised conservatives of the Supreme Court) will see to it that the US does not have free and fair and honest elections.
Pretty much, but as others have pointed out elsewhere, it’s difficult for him to rig the midterms for a number of reasons. It is entirely possible that both the House and the Senate will lose their majorities, even with all these obvious efforts to rig and cheat.
How is this not election interference? I mean even proposing a law to interfere is interfering. I know that existing laws have very specific wording, so my question is, why the fuck did this not cover it. It’s insane how obviously unconstitutional this is to a degree that these fuckers should be imprisoned for even the intent to make this an EO.
You’re making the incorrect assumption that Trump is beholden to the law.
Laws only matter if someone enforces them.
I mean, he already straight up admitted the 2024 election was rigged.
He may be immune to laws, but he throws people under the bus left and right. I’ll take those small Ws when they come
Im not convinced. It was shown fairly conclusively that there was no significant voter fraud in the most recent election, and trump still won. Yes, there was some, namely the whole musk thing, but it wasnt that impactful. The issue is that there is nothing to vote for. Democrats are controlled opposition, simple as. A vote for democrats is a vote for delaying fascism, not a vote against fascism. So many people sat out the last election because democrats refuse to budge on the genocidal tendancies, and theres no reason to believe that they will attempt to do any better this time around because thats not how controlled opposition works. If we had even one serious candiate, they would easily dominate both sides of the political spectrum. But that would directly hurt the interests of the powers that be.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to whether youre willing to die on the hill of capitalism. Its a failed system, and unless the US decides to get with the times and become the ungovernable intollerant left, then the US as a country will burn within the next 30 years.

Voter fraud has always been a red herring distraction. It’s election fraud that’s a problem (ie what Trump is trying to accomplish under the guise of ending voter fraud).

They wouldn’t be on the ballot again if the non-voters would instead become avid primary voters and nominate more progressives. Nobody in office gives a shit about the opinions of non-voters. The more non-voters, the better for those already in office.
If you haven’t already been doing so, between now and Election Day in November, CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION STATUS!
Y’all better be doing this. You gotta get rid of this guy, I’d love to come back 🙂
He’s realizing that he won’t be able to stop the election from happening, and that the SAVE Act is DOA. Grasping at thinner and thinner straws.
The people will vote. The states will count the votes and ratify winners. By November, the election will be among the largest midterm tidal waves in history.
Trump’s impotent rage will be the next operation epic fury and will yield similar results.
saves act is more than likely to hurt republicans overall, since likely the places that only issue passports are far and few between.
