It'll further distract the public from the pedophile being ousted, also he plans on this getting much more out of hand so he can declare martial law... and BOOM... the piece of shit can cancel midterm elections because he's a scared little pedophile and knows he's cooked.
Midterms are already happening. And Republicans need them to happen anyway.
How so? Voting doesn't start till March. The primaries in November. Republicans control all branches currently, if the pedophile cancels midterms they'll still have control.
Campaigning and fundraising is already happening but both parties. If there weren't going to be midterms, the GOP would not be freaking out about them, campaigning, or fundraising. And they are freaking out about them.
But most importantly there is no such thing as "canceling midterms." States run them, not the federal government. I will be at the polls in November and for the primaries before that and you should be too.
This is just moving the goalposts anyway. I was told that we would never have elections again. We had a lot of them in 2025 and they went very well for the Democrats. Then I was told midterms wouldn't happen. Well they're sure about to. And now it's already moving to "midterms will happen but there will be voter suppression." Yeah, welcome to America. There's always been voter suppression. And we vote and make progress anyway.
Are you a hallucinating llm?
Well it'd... uhhhhhh... errrrrr... WOKE! LIBRULS! ANTIIIIIIFAAAAAAAAAA!!!
In all seriousness, he wants blood. He wants more people to die for the """crime""" of opposing him.
“Jonathan Ross, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who killed Good, suffered internal bleeding to his torso during the encounter, a Homeland Security official told The Associated Press”
The fuck he did.
Fuckers pulled out their thesaurus to describe a bruise.
that didn't even happen
It happened later when the ghoul was laughing back at the office
A 2-inch bruise could technically be considered "internal bleeding."
He was in no way struck by the vehicle
It was when he got his tiny pecker caught in his zipper pulling it out to victory spank
It was from when he flopped onto her hood to get a better angle to shoot her in the face.
And we are still going to protest around the US. We citizens are united with Minneapolis folks.
Also by doing this what stops people from now attacking the military, ICE, and DHS since we will already be in the locked down people are worried about.
People wanted a general strike...this is one way.
See how fast these corporations turn on Trump.
The money wheel gets gummed up at all, and he's a dead man. He won't do shit.
Edit: as soon as I made this comment, this sick and twisted fuck echoed my sentiment 🤣 https://www.rawstory.com/michael-flynn-insurrection-act/
Don’t be silly, she would have done the exact same thing or something. They are basically the same person, don’t ya know. Republicans and democrats are the exact same, and my write in vote for my cat was the morally correct choice.
Also this
the actions here demonstrate both how absolutely unintelligent him and his admin are, along with how easily fooled he believes average citizens to be
