States are well within their power to ignore most of this. They don’t answer to the executive branch.
The elephant in the room is him ordering the postal service not to deliver ballots from people not on the federal approved voter list. The postal service isn’t state ran. Trump doesn’t have direct control over who the post master is, but the board that selects the post master is mostly empty seats so I guess he could flood it with sycophants with support from congress and appoint a new post master if this one puts up any resistance.
It also seeks to bar the U.S. Postal Service from sending absentee ballots to those not on each state’s approved list.
Legal experts noted other potential flaws with the order. David Becker, a former Justice Department lawyer who leads the Center for Election Innovation and Research, said the Postal Service is run by a board of governors [not state governors] and the president has no power to tell it what mail it can and cannot deliver.
A spokesperson for USPS said Tuesday the agency will review the order. Trump has sought to bring the independent agency under more presidential control, proposing to fold it under the Commerce Department — whose secretary, Howard Lutnick, was on hand for Tuesday’s signing.
The USPS can be bypassed through strategic and frequent placement of ballot dropboxes. I already didn’t use the postal service after the bullshit Trump tried to pull in 2020. It’s better to use the dropboxes in every way except for one, and in my case it’s only a block to get to the dropbox so it doesn’t even apply.
Look for them to seize these along with mail in ballots not on the approved list. We are going to end up either accepting Republicans after they fix the election or taking action.
Seize them out of the sealed ballot boxes? I mean, maybe, but that’s not what is being referred to here - most states with mail in ballots also have drop boxes that do not require mail.
Yes if people adapt why wouldn’t their strategy adapt
I didn’t say it wouldn’t, I said that it doesn’t apply to this instance. People should have been using the ballot drop boxes all along anyway.
They do
You all fucktards voted for the dude. Now suffer the consequences. Better you than us.
Regards, The rest of the world.
You’d fit right in with maga with logic like that.
Other than the fucktards part what exactly is Maga’ish in that comment?
Did the us not have a vote?
Should only other countries suffer the consequences of that vote, and the us population should be exempt from the actions of that vote? (or their inactions of them not voting/protest voting)
The above comment was coarse, I agree. But it wasn’t incorrect in my view.
Edit: yanks always trying to blame others for their fucking bullshit.
You fundamentally misunderstandUnited States politics if you think Trump is responsible for making any important decisions. He is a combination between a scapegoat and a front man.
If we had elected anyone else, the present international policies would be largely the same. It’s the beauty of a two party system that is financed by corporate lobbying.
As I’ve said, many a time, once dictatorship’s instantiated, he’ll not just remove the vote from all non-Republicans, he’ll de-naturalize all non-Republicans, then they can be ICE’d…
making it criminal to do ANY trade with “illegals”/woke.
I found out that he & Miller had a 1-MILLION deportations quota on ICE, for their 1st year…
You’re too far in nazi territory, when you’re doing that kind of shit … there’s no pretending that away, any more than there’s any pretending-away Israel’s admission that it’s annexing territory from Lebanon, once it’s got Hamas controlled/down…
Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Millei… same fundamental-values, they’re demonstrating…
& the fools who are “certain” that social-pressure will prevent the tippingpoint from being crossed…
…solving the wrong problem, while helping the enemy that is walking our world into its “secondary-crime-scene”, for our world’s butchery…
The Great Filter’s actual! This century is it…

I’m really hoping someone clicks on Minecraft.exe before then, to be 💯
Stumbling onto this comment late from a route I barely remember now lol - do you write anywhere? I’d read it probably, I’ve randomly come across a few of your comments by now that are insightful and deliciously dense.
I will, later this year…
You’re decidedly in the minority, if you appreciate my meanings.
I’ve parked a domain for my giving people the actual psychology to dismantle our world’s wrong-function-addiction.
another for gov’t-paradigms/systems that can actually-work…
I don’t expect to be publishing anything until … summer?
I’ll dig-back through my notifications, to find you, to tell you, when I’ve published something for real…
Promise.

Apparently it’s a goal of 100 million removals, nearly one in three of us.
That is what will result in North America by 7y after the tippingpoint is crossed.
1/3 gone.
By the end of WW3, after, … I expect only 100-million left alive, planetwide, in 2085.
IF humankind survives The Great Filter…
If you’ve ever seen a street-drugs-addict die by their held-by-their-unconscious-mind addiction, you’ve seen what humankind is about to be doing,
… only at planet-scale.

Lmaoo I never thought of the Great Filter as a political thing potentially, I always thought of it as a technological thing like industrialization or disease or something. Interesting
