President Donald Trump is openly hinting at taking over the midterm elections by declaring a national emergency.
Newsmax’s Wayne Allen Root interviewed Trump just after midnight Tuesday morning, and said that Trump had the right to declare a national security emergency next month, forcing through photo identification, proof of citizenship, limits on mail-in ballots, and other heavy voting restrictions. Trump seemed to like that suggestion, but didn’t want to tip his hand.
“Let me just say stranger things have happened, okay? I’ll leave it at that,” Trump said.
Trump is afraid of massive Republican losses in November’s midterms, and has been unsuccessfully pushing his allies in Congress to pass the draconian SAVE Act. With that appearing more unlikely each day, Democrats and other Trump critics are raising concerns that he may take drastic action, such as declaring a national emergency and maybe deploying legions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to the polls.
In fact, Democrats have been trying for close to a year to get documents from the Department of Homeland Security regarding its policies and memos on sending ICE agents to polls. Agents were seen at polling places in Texas during its May primaries and in California in June, but when Democrats used the Freedom of Information Act to investigate, they were sent useless press clippings.
If Trump tries to invoke national security to take over federal elections, it would shatter precedent and could set off lawsuits and protests across the country. His repeated, disproven claims about voter fraud and rigged elections suggest that he’ll make the same excuses in November. The question is how to ensure a fair and accurate result that can stand up to his attacks.
Because he is legally protected by the office of the president. Once he leaves, he will be prosecuted, and will go to prison for the rest of his life, for multiple offenses.
LOL. Name one President who ever suffered consequences for his actions. Ever.
When did that become a LAW? Its people like you that allow them to get away with it. Posts like this tell them that you expect them to get away with their CRIMES, and you’ll accept that outcome, even if you hate it.
Instead, you ought to be making it very clear to not only MAGA, but also the Democrats, that you DEMAND punishment this time, and you will accept nothing less, or the Dem collaborators will suffer the same fate.
The Dems are already getting the message, and making plans for the Democratic House after the Midterms. They know they won’t get any legislation through, Trump won’t sign it, so they are already making plans to turn all their committees into investigative bodies, and start forcing them to testify and explain themselves. That’s a LOT more than they did during the Biden Admin.
Besides, no president ever deserved serious punishment more than this cartoonishly corrupt, treasonous pedophile. It doesn’t make any difference what precedents or customs are, this Psychopath has shattered them all, and is deserving of punishment like no previous president.
Finally, YOU may be skeptical of the Dems willingness to punish MAGA, but MAGA isn’t. They are sure that the Dems intend to punish them harshly for their crimes, because they know they deserve it. Let’s not disappoint them.
Name one president who has committed this level of treason, pedophilia, and corruption.
There are only two possible endings to this - We are all enslaved, or MAGA gets crushed and purged from our government and society. As long as we are between those two outcomes, we are not done.
It’s either MAGA, or us, and there are a LOT more of us, and we’re angrier, and smarter. They will not escape punishment a second time, or the Democrats will join them.

John F Kennedy
If it actually came to that (and I don’t see why it would) he would flee to Russia or Saudi Arabia before spending a day in prison.
That’s fine, let them deal with his nonsense.
You misspelled Florida
It’s Mueller Time! rides again
Can you pass your copium, I’m running low.
He’s as likely to go to prison as he is to have his face on Rushmore
