Bring your bear spray. There have been sightings.
As long as the DOJ is controlled by Trump they won't charge him over anything no matter how blatantly he is rigging the election in his favor and how obvious it is that he should have lost.
Remember when Bill Clinton met Loretta Lynch on a tarmac and the Republicans completely lost their shit?
A former president being seen speaking with the current Attorney General, and it was a massive fucking deal. Because they made it a massive deal, and Democrats allowed them to make it into a massive deal.
Don't ever let Republicans claim to care about this kind of shit.
Yes but the Democrats will maybe come into power eventually and they'll need something to pardon Trump over
All things change and any of us left alive when they do will remember.
I don't know why after a decade of Trump people think "ummm akshually that's illegal" means anything.
They're breaking the law. Openly. THEY ARE DABBING ON YOU.
The question isn't if they can legally - they cannot. Nor if they can - they are. It's what are you going to do to stop them?
In the Untied States it's illegal to depict a living person on a coin. Trump coins are a monument to the law motvapplying to him
I had to look it up to see what Trump/DHS's unconstitutional argument will be to ignore this. The "..." omitted sections show pretty clearly what they will say:
Whoever, being an officer of the Army or Navy, or other person in the civil, military, or naval service of the United States, orders, brings, keeps, or has under his authority or control any troops or armed men at any place where a general or special election is held, unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both; and be disqualified from holding any office of honor, profit, or trust under the United States. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/592
"...is held, unless such force is necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States, shall be fined..."
So their first-year-law-school failing DOJ leads will argue that they need ICE there to stop voter fraud, which force is necessary to "repel armed enemies of the United States" since hypothetically the rampant fraudsters could be armed.
Either Trump will just do it without any lawsuit-ripening warning, or if his demented brain reveals his plans early and a suit is filed in time, the Supreme Court will hear the emergency appeal of the inevitable district and appellate findings that it is unconstitutional, and issue a shadow docket ruling that overturns the (ruling upholding the) Constitution without comment or reasoning.
Not sure if the supreme court will do anything. Already declined to intervene on the USPS issue, saying damage needs to be done first
for which dickhead will promptly issue pardons.
Administration continues to plan treason and nobody stops them.
If the president says he's going to interfere in the election, he should be immediately impeached and removed from office as soon as possible! Instead everybody says he's just joking and my therapist thinks I shouldn't worry until I know for sure something bad is going to happen
It's only treason if it doesn't succeed. If they get away with it, it's patriotic revolution. Just ask Washington, Jefferson, Hancock, etc.
"DHS chief says ICE will be killed at polling stations for preventing voting" is what actual, freedom-loving Americans should be saying.
Literally what the second amendment is for
FEEL FREE TO VOTE FOR WHOMEVER YOU LIKE, CITIZEN.
I mean, I'm very white, but it still feels like this with all their false positives. Even if they don't actually shoot me, I have a ton of medical issues and will 1000% for6 in their prison.
Still won't vote orange though.
Exactly who will they be arresting?!..illegal immigrants randomly showing up on election night??
people who don't vote for dumpy mcshitpants.
Voters who speak spanish
Maybe citizens who got citizenship because they were born in US but they parents were migrants. Maybe they want to take their passports and deport with others (like germans did with german jews before WWII, they basically canceled their citizenships)
I think its time for citizens to start pushing back against this gestapo bullshit. We outnumber these pussies like 100 to 1
We outnumber them hella more than that. The question is, have you been organizing in your community?
When a country has a gestapo and uses state terrorism to suppress opposition... Isn't there a word for that?
I've called it a while back. Make a database of people's political affiliation using social media posts and other sources. Have agents sit outside polling places with facial recognition technology that flags anyone on that database that is likely to vote Democrat and detain a number of them until the polling ends then release them without charge. This prevents them from voting and can have a significant impact on the outcome of the elections.
On top of that they're going to have mail in ballots thrown out, further interfering with free and fair elections.
This is coming. Trump knows he will have his ass absolutely handed to him in the mid terms given his well-deserved abysmal approval rating. Better fight back now.
And if the US ever manages to recover from this blatant establishment of a dictatorship, every single one of those who participated at this should be charged at the fullest extent of the law. There is no claiming ignorance of what they're doing. Even floating the idea of sending ICE to arrest people at polling places is a violation. They know damn well that they're rigging the election.
They know it, and they know that we know it. They don't care. That's what people aren't seeing straight enough. Trump and the Guardians Of Pedophiles ate blatantly trying to cheat amd telling people how much they're going to cheat. Now, show me one, single US citizen that's done anything concrete to actually stop him. I'll wait. Instead, there will be more protests. Then he'll call the protesters unpatriotic traitors and MAGAts will eat it up. They'll not only cheer for him as he sacrifices our democratic elections, they'll say it was the right thing to do to "save America" from people smarter than them. Which is everyone too intelligent to be a MAGAt.
They're daring us to try and stop them by force, in order to invoke the exception in the law another commenter cited. They want to pretend that us trying to stop their coup makes us the "armed enemies of the United States" instead of them.
This is the consequence of failing to prosecute Trump for Jan 6.
Immigration and custom enforcement in places deep inside the country where only citizens gather.
Right... how stupid do you need to be to still believe this is about immigration?
DOJ has TOLD the Supreme Court what the law REALLY is.
DOJ must know more about law than the Supreme Court.
Then...what do we need the Supreme Court for???
SOME Laws are OK to Break!
-People CHEERING on the Kidnapping of Children whose Parents are here ALMOST Legally!
In the mean time democrats are fighting Hassan Piker. For fuck sakes... They're responsible for bring back orange turd as much as the republicans
We went to war over black people having humans rights.
What makes them think we won’t go to war over an actual takeover of our country? If they won’t allow us to vote them out peacefully, what do they think we’re gonna do? Roll over and spread our asscheeks?
If they won’t allow us to vote them out peacefully, what do they think we’re gonna do? Roll over and spread our asscheeks?
I mean... they've been raw dogging you lads for the past couple of years and you've done pretty much that. 🤷♂️
They've drank their own koolaid and think the kill bots will be ready in time.
Yeah, I mean that seems like the American way lately.
checks all grand playbooks of 2024-now
i'm a bit worried here
I'm a 6 for tall white male. If anyone gets in front of me before I vote in person, I'm going to fuck up your day. And if you attempt to stop anyone else from voting, I'm gonna spend the same energy. Fuck this Nazi shit.
Arrest people for what ?
Being brown while voting.
Most likely it is going to be a whole lot of "arrest anyone with slightly foreign appearence, ignore their paperwork, let them out in 3 days after enough lawyers get involved and the person has overwhelming evidence they are legal citizens".
Can’t vote for the opposition if you are arrested and shot in the back. 🫲🍊🫱
if they really want a fight, theyll get one
