The biggest joke was Trump trying to pass this off as something Putin said to him.

💪👍
Pedophile trump doesn’t care about the constitution. Never has. Never will. France got it right in 1789. 😎🇫🇷✊
For all the "He doesn't have the power to do that!" diatribe; he's certainly doing it anyway.
FYI: Kings only leave when beheaded.
But Putie said…
Show me ONE republican politician willing to defy trump. …….. I don’t think so.
A step closer to fascism.
The same argument was made about state governors' control over their National Guard. Look how that worked out. I don't share your optimism that Trump can't control state voting rules.
Getting rid of mail-in voting is to silence the vote of our deployed men and women.
Trump really needs a crash course in staying in his lane, and somebody who can enforce it.
Nothing says a secure election like voter disenfranchisement. Fuck those soldiers overseas who want a say in who's in charge of them. Fuck those disabled people who physically cannot vote in person. None of them deserve a say!
Come on! F*ckface von Clownstick doesn't give a damn about the constitution and as long as nobody actually acts against his orders, democracy in the US will go down more and more.
Since WHEN does The Constitution hold any impediment against Trump since he got the Green Light from SCOTUS about Imperial level Immunity whilst President?
Yeah, but all the red stats will change their laws/rules now that he’s said this… Will be up to citizens in red states to protest this BS.
Our Constitution is clearly not HIS! He is following the Russian version.
Or put another way: go fuck yourself, you fat assed orange Nazi cunt.
States need to stand up to Trump. Unfortunately I live in a MAFA state - Missouri. All our legislators bought down to Trump. Gutless individuals.
He wants to ban mail-in and require in-person voting so that he can use the Rehnquist technique: Poll watchers demand conclusive ID from every voter, making for long lines and banning voters who don't routinely carry such ID. Long lines after work discourage more voters. Applied in Blue precincts.
Don't forget to bring your license PLATE to vote in person!
Now ask yourself what percentage of his base understands that...
Damn, he's looking physically bad as each day passes, the dirt nap might be around the corner.
SCOTUS
Putin told Trump to get rid of Mail in voting, probably told him that other countries don’t use, a big lie. Trump is working with Putin to undermine our democracy, it’s obvious. Remember it’s evangelicals that betrayed our nation out of their sick selfishness, one day there needs to be a backlash!
But he'll try. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he took it to the SCOTUS. And we all know how corrupt 6 of those justices are.
But doesn't that immunity thingy kinda undermine the whole "checks and balances" thing?
bsky.app/profile/hope...
That WAS the purview of the states 6 months ago… now, who the f**k knows what the Supreme Court will say?
He is oddly transparent with his idiocy, adoration for Putin, and intent to break our Constitution. He should be impeached again (lots of crimes to choose from), and convicted this time. But that would require strong spines and integrity from the GOP (Groveling Old Patsies) in the Congress.
TL/DR: he’s an idiot
He doesn't care about the constitution. Unfortunately, the judges gave him unlimited power, and he's using it.
Thanks for nothing Kamala…
You mean thanks for everything Putin. How it’s Kamala Harris’s fault when she got zero support from her own party I don’t understand.
FOTUS ignore cuz he doesn’t like being loser!
Uncle George. He doesn’t give a flying fuck about The Constitution.
He also got duped into wanting this by what Putin told him, despite the fact that Russia does in fact have MAIL IN VOTING.🙄
And never mind by getting rid of mail in voting that he’s disenfranchising every forward deployed serviceperson in the Military. Who BTW vote 60+% R consistently.
And overseas dual citizens which is what I am.
Also home bount elderly folks, who also tend to be GOP voters
Mail in voting is safe, and secure. However, same day in person voting is NOT! Any questions why he wants this??
You forgot to mention that the orange buffoon actually uses voting by mail.
The rules are simple: Rule 1. Only votes for trump count. Rule 2. Throw out non-trump votes. Rule 3. Follow rules 1 & 2.
We didn’t think he had the power for a lot of things, yet here we are. No way is he going to let a legitimate election happen.
Exactly!!!
Well it must be true since Putin confirmed it.
Hey TACO keep your grabby hands off my mail in ballot!
This SCOTUS has a way of looking the other way when it comes to the Constitution and him.
Even if states rights are defended by Dems, Donnie dirty hands will muck it up and create a mess of our elections
So that’s it then? You just give up?
Of course not. Just forseeing the future 😉
Hell no!💙
He has to do what daddy wants
Any bets the Corrupt Supreme Court finds a way to let him do it?
They’re in on it. Remember Robert’s name is on the Epstein list. Trump covered up Kavanaughs rapes as well and that corrupt billionaire’s toy poodle Thomas, another sex assaulter is so compromised by he & his nit wit wife a J6 conspirator
You think the court is corrupt now but just imagine what a court with five Trump appointees would do. Third term? 🫡 No mail in ballots in light blue states only? 🫡 Deport U.S. citizens without due process? 🫡
The wanton chicanery of this court knows no bounds.
Wanton Chicanery would be a great band name
They will simply declare him above the law
Would someone please say "But you have voted by mail in ballot. Do you think YOUR vote was counted right?"
He used mail in voting in past elections
PreFuckingCisely!
Is that dung on his face? Putins Doo Doo? Like literally, he went from orange puke to Russian dung. Being the Devils puppet is taking a tole on him. Gargoyle lookin ayaz pedo Potus. FEAR NOT AMERICA WE WILL NOT BOW nor BREAK
He wants to control everything while wearing a diaper which demonstrates how much he can really control.
Exactly….the Convicted Felon seems to think our Constitution does not apply to him. 🤬
I hate to be Randy raincloud right now but if you haven't been looking around lately, he's not exactly giving a crap about the constitution.
We have to stop thinking that we'll shut Trump down with laws. He led a violent attack on Congress, yet got elected and pardoned all of the attackers. He will create confusion about the legality of mail-in voting and in 2026 social media disinformation will finish the job. He will get +++
... people to doubt the reliability of mail-in ballots and that'll suppress voters. He doesn't need to overcome the laws. He goes around the laws. Dems need to step up and defend the reliability of mail-in ballots.
Par for the idiot supreme course…
So far, I don't see too many people stopping him from doing whatever he wants. The corrupt SCOTUS has given him the power.
“the more you tighten your grip, the more starships will slip through your fingers”
This would have been my first reaction to such a suggestion from a politician...a decade ago. But not now. We have an evil, demented President who controls all of Congress and the Supremes. Who will enforce the Constitution? We get through this, there will be a long line at the guillotine stand.
It should be readily apparent that constitution is rapidly becoming an historical artifact rather than the core of our democracy. I hope the entire white fascist Christian nationalist community burns in hell for eternity. They deserve nothing less.
His controller dictates his every move, banning postal votes means serving armed forces can't vote, and that alone is a lot of people denied their legal rights, not to mention people who are housebound or stuck out in the sticks, all told they aren't allowed to vote because of his weakness...
but he is getting away with a lot of stuff there so who is going to stop him. Speaking as someone from the Country above you.
If mail in was a tactic for Dems to cheat and win, how is he the president? Find another lame excuse.
From someone who votes by mail
Trump won't ever be removed by voting. The only way to remove a dictator is the way Hitler was removed.
I think Trump's aides try to keep him busy thinking he is doing something. He won't be as mean to them.
He thinks if he didn’t read the Constitution he isn’t subject to it. It’s not a cellphone user agreement.
I move to not protect “every” voter. Voters gave us #trumpepstein. Maybe we could distract them for a while so us normals and grownups can vote to “right (unfortunate word) the ship” of 🇺🇸 .
Not to mention, of course, that an Executive Order is not LAW anyway!! So, #FuckTrump
He may attempt to prohibit USPS from handling the mail in ballots 🗳. They are easily recognizable. Of course that would violate law of autonomy of USPS. Does he care? No.
Stop throwing Trans people under the bus. 😡
Trump is eventually just gonna straight up make it illegal for people to vote Democratic. He'll sign an EO that declares the whole party illegal or some BS, and then have his personal secret police oversee the midterms. America basically needs international election oversight, at this point.
And some states will acquiesce because he said to do it!
*coughing*texas*coughing*
Trump doesn’t need the power to dictate how states conduct elections if he can just send an army of thugs in to threaten & intimidate voters on Election Day.
Another distraction ....release the Epstein files
And yet, everyone will roll over backwards to comply with his whims.
I still think it's so funny how dumpy trumpy keeps telling everyone he's making America great,but he and his trumanzees are supporting every communist country, buying and making goods in china,no tariffs on russia,red carpets for communist leaders,wow all that money for a communist regime
He knows he doesn't have the power. If he had it, he would have already used it. What he's doing here is laying the groundwork to claim all future elections he or the GOP lose are "rigged" and "illegitamite."
He’s a joke, his EOs are a joke. Just another way of showing off that god awful, ghastly signature, of which he is so proud!
www.bing.com/videos/river...
Putin says mail-in ballots are “rigged” in the U.S.? And Trump is using that b.s. to try to kill them (and voting machines)??? 💥 FACT: RUSSIA USES MAIL-IN BALLOTS. And mobile, and even online voting in some cases. The only thing truly rigged is Trump's low-IQ fucking brain.
That's the only thing He and Republicans can do cheat They are the scum of the world They are the worst of the worst none of them are good
Mail In Voting is in Fact the Most Secure. Banning them automatically Disenfranchises all Military and Diplomatic Personnel stationed abroad.
Such a dimwit loser
The Supreme Court will back him doing whatever he wants because, we are hard broke right now. This is setting a stage for states to decide if they feel it’s still beneficial to remain part of this union. Not good.
Just like if Texas gerrymandered more Republicans so should California for more Democrats, and if Trump a Republican President can do this, then a Democratic President can force states to add polling places, expand early voting and allow water to be handed out to those in line waiting to vote.
Exactly 💯
I read that Governor Polis (Colorado) is looking into it as well. Yes! This could help get Lauren Bobo out of the house.
he's doing this to deter voters and again arrest people he claims are illegal right at polling stations. We #resist with the last of our blood.#freeCOLLIER #STOPREDISTRICTINGTEXAS #STOPGERRYSMANDERINGTEXAS
The Constitution has been shown by Trump, repeatedly, to be entirely optional.
the GOP congress calls him out on nothing! They all need to go!
Each state runs their own elections. Trump can NOT dictate whether states do mail in voting or not.
Correct, but knowing him, he WILL retaliate against any state that didn't "vote" trump.
Will? Did.
You think THIS is the retaliation..??
Because he wants control over EVERYTHING and will try & intimidate anyone who doesn't worship him. He wants to prevent overseas military members/families and civilians overseas from voting. He's trying to rig the next election.
Dear Mr. Takei, You are such a great American I am so sorry for what this country put you and your family through. If we make any progress as a human race, it will be because of your faith. God Bless.
He knows that redistricting won't gain them the seats they need to hold the House. So instead he will try to make all voting in person so he can send out ICE goons to try to intimidate PoC at polling stations. Also planting seeds of doubt to claim Dems rigged elections they win.
He does have the power. It’s not been granted to him by any law, but by the failure of the two other branches, and the two major political parties, to stop him.
And soon he will try to ban all voting
2Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, (US Constitution Article 2 Section 1 Paragraph 2) It's not up to Trump. It's up to the states.
Cult don’t care. Cult hears dog whistle, grunts and farts. Maga.
Disenchanting our military and their spouses. The military has voted by mail since the Civil War.
I meant disenfranchising. Sorry.
is there any evidence to suggest that mail in votes are more likely to be dem rather than gop? I'd have thought the type to vote by mail, army, older people etc would be more inclined to GOP?
The amount of people who don’t know what the tenth amendment is kind of worries me.
America has already let Trump do a lot of things he’s supposed not to ‘have the power’ to do. How is he going to be stopped from cancelling democracy?
Those in the military and stationed outside the U.S. are not going to care that #Trump disenfranchised them while #Republicans watched from the sidelines, right?
"... to protect every voter" - even the MAGAts who want to destroy our society, because that's what democracy means!
That has yet to stop him. He doesn’t have the power to fire members of multimember agencies, but SCOTUS allowed it. He doesn’t have the power to impound Congressionally allocated funds, but he did it.
Okey dokey, there, Donnie. Since you've got such a hardon for mail in voting, let's go back to the last election and pull all of *your* mailed in votes. You hate 'em so much I'm sure you'll volunteer to erase your votes, won't you? You ignorant hypocritical hick
It's very simple really. Steal election, stay out of prison.
Mail-in voting is cheaper and easier that all that equipment, schlepping etc. I've clerked, judged and counted worked elections since the 80s. AND a paper trail for fast easy re-counts.
Gotta love how he takes the word of a man who wants to destroy America over experts, that he thinks denied him the last election.
The rapist not having the power to do something clearly doesn't stop him from doing it seeing as how many times he has broken the law and the constitution in the last 6 months alone. When fascist traitor republicans keep supporting the fascist traitor rapist, nothing is done by the rule of law.
States rule elections not comrade trump
He has the largest unregulated paramilitary force on the planet plus an utterly corrupt Department of Justice, Secretary of Defense, FBI Director and Supreme Court, it would be naive at this point to assume he doesn’t have the power to control the election… … be afraid America, be very afraid! 😱
👍
He'll ban mail in voting by executive order and then send in his armed, masked, unidentifiable agents to steal and destroy all state owned voting infrastructure. Then he's going to blow raspberries and yell catch me if you can suckers into his media platforms. The US military must save the USA. Now!
The 6 members of Supreme Court of Gilead will continue to assist Orange Jesus in his subversion of our democracy
With all due respect we've yet to see Trump hit any limits to his power in this term, his takeover of government and the courts is more or less complete. I hope I'm wrong and there are some checks and balances left, but right now it seems he can do anything he wants.
When are people going to realize that they’re going to have to solve the problem any way they can. Nobody else is coming to their rescue
Trump starts out with an EO nine judges block it he appeals loses the appeal goes to SCotUS, where his fairy godmother will make his wish come true
Because #Krasnov got his marching orders and is toting his boss's* Propaganda... * #PoopinPutin
If they take away my mail in vote it won’t matter. I’ve never been more motivated to vote in my lifetime. I’ll go through Hell and back to get my vote in. As usual this administration has completely swung and missed.
The rotting sweet potato needs a good mashing.
Sorry, Donnie, Washington State begs to differ.
POS for a prez.
Let him destroy the country. Americans are welcome in Colombia anytime
But who is going to stop him? SCOTUS? CONGRES??
Probably NATO
Hey, George is pointing out that Trump can't just control how states handle elections for federal roles. He’s saying the Constitution gives that power to the states, not the president. Straightforward stuff!
I doubt Putin said anything about mail-in voting in the US, considering Russia uses mail-in voting. He either heard it on Fox or it's something one of his cronies whispered into his ear.
If republicans like this idea so much then how about just the red states end mail in voting? Let them screw themselves over!
Sorry, counting on Republican congressional seats to do right is old politicking. They're scared straight and will not do anything to uproot their ability to stay in office with Trumpiere until their 101.
US Constitution Art1 Section. 4. The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof;
As an Emergency Physician, I am responsible for declaring death far more often than I would like. Today, I took the radical step of filling out a DEATH CERTIFICATE for AMERICAN FREEDOM, including its immediate and proximate causes
Democracy died with the patriot act.
Yes it did. When that act was passed, without the congressional nimrods even reading it, that’s when I gathered my family and moved to Canada in 2005
No one read it. I doubt half the people currently lamenting the death of democracy did. THIS IS NOT A DEFEATIST ATTITUDE. DO NOT TAKE IT THAT WAY. It just means we have a bigger fight ahead of us, I want us prepared for that and not declaring victory with Trump gone.
I’m not a defeatist. I definitely meant this as a get your @$$ in gear post!
And even Putin allows mail in voting
And hows that Constitution holding up for ya all now! 6 Months in and he's till using it to wipe himself with little to no resistance.
