Breaking: Michigan sends absentee ballots to 7.7 million people ahead of Primaries and the General Election. This was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue Secretary of State. I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!..

There is currently a FEMA level disaster happening in Midland with four separate dams either breaching or outright failing, bridges collapsing, and Dow Chemical in its path, and this is the Michigan tweet he decided to send. It isn’t even accurate. She’s sending out absentee applications, not ballots.

well, tD is on record now. anything bad happens and it's on him

Michigan sends *applications* for absentee ballots to all its voters, and the president goes ballistic and threatens retribution.

But the Republican governor of Georgia just straight up cancels an election to appoint a Republican to the post, and of course, no worries!

State of Nevada “thinks” that they can send out illegal vote by mail ballots, creating a great Voter Fraud scenario for the State and the U.S. They can’t! If they do, “I think” I can hold up funds to the State. Sorry, but you must not cheat in elections. @RussVought45 @USTreasury

He's not going to go quietly. It will be interesting to see how Republicans in Congress play it.

So, does Ron Johnson and Lindsey Graham's head explode if Barack Hussein Obama had fired all his Inspector General's?

This is the most fraught time since Lincoln. This is really quite worrying.

We’re at a dangerous point right now and I’m not sure we know how bad it is.

And conservatives are fine with Georgia cancelling their election since a republican is appointed.
They’re showing us out in the open how they intend to steal the election

My big question is what line are republicans in Congress not willing to cross? It seems to far we don’t have an answer to that.

So far I have it gauged somewhere around outright abolishing the 13th Amendment +/- a wee margin.

There's no line. The'll do anything they need to to steal the election. The only question is on 11/4 when they announce they've "won," what do you and I do?

We have to start with a 100% boycott on all work and purchasing, and force the 1% to remove them. And with our free time we literally stand in the streets and make crowds of millions in cities that say no more. A velvet revolution. It's either that or guns, and whichever side uses guns loses to the US military.

I think the country is divided into three camps on this.

40% think this is America at its best and we are great again and love what trump and other elected republicans are doing and saying.

About 25% know how God-awful 5h!tty the mess we are in is and that we are at an inflection point, that this is the most danger our system has faced since the mid 19th century and trump literally may be the end to our country as a functioning democratic republic.

And finally about 35% think things are going in a troubling direction but don't believe the end is anywhere near and we will simply solve this by making another course correction by electing someone besides trump in November. That final 35% also has no fear of what might happen after the November elections and that all things will simply progress as normal, with a run of the mill transition to a new government and by next summer all will seem normal.

I think this is accurate.

Now here's the problem as I see it: the 40% Dumpies are all in, mentally. Everything Fox et al says is gospel. We know Dump will say he won and anything else is "fake" and "illegal." We know if the GOP gives even a tiny indication they will go along with it, or at least look the other way, then the RWNM will scream everything Dump is screaming -- a major political party will commit treason against the US Constitution.

The 25% will be in the streets, but what will the 35% do? How far gone are they? How lazy and soft? The Plutes will take the path of greatest profit -- capital would churn live babies into a slurry if there was a penny extra profit in it, it is by definition amoral -- and the entire structure of capitalism from finance to media to retail will defend capital interests.

So we have to make it more profitable for the Plutes to put down the coup than go along with it. The way to do that is massive withdrawal from the economy, at every level. Do the 35% have the onions for that? Or will they shrug and say, well, Singapore runs well enough, who really needs democracy?

Re: POTUS 45.64: Governance By Unhinged Twitter Rants

I believe those percentages are accurate. And the sad thing is that 40% that are locked in is the biggest number. And that's been the problem every election cycle since 1980.
