(iii) Proposed provisions specifying that the USPS shall not transmit mail-in or absentee ballots from any individual unless those individuals have been enrolled on a State-specific list described in subsection (b)(iv) of this section with the USPS pursuant to this subsection.
LMAO. If the dems did this, the maga cunts would be like “OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!” but daddy dumpy does it, and they’re probably rejoicing.
But seriously, how is that supposed to work? Is the USPS supposed to open all the envelopes and determine if the voters are registered?
April… ah what the fuck
Well thats election interference
remember, every accusation is a confession.
Yeah that’s the point.
All this does for mail voters is require them to get their ballots earlier than usual. There are many reasons to hate Trump but this is not it.
If so, why bother doing it? He didn’t issue a pointless executive order, did he? … Maybe your interpretation is incorrect.
Nah, it’s pure vote tampering, well-worth hating the Republican administration for. People will forget, people have busy lives, much more than people will decide to send in the ballot early and they know that. As a bonus it would no longer give people a deadline to convene around – will the ballot be delivered in two days? Three? What about a mail delay? Idk how you could see this as anything but despicable thuggery.
Good thing I vote online.
I just instructed the president to lick my balls. I don’t think he will though.
Depends. Are you 12?
I think he only rapes girls tho
Their username contains “bill”, so maybe they’re Clinton, possibly aka Bubba, in which case according to the Epstein files Trump may have already blown him, unless Bubba was the horse…
Good point.
Are you Benjamin Netanyahu? Because he would.
So the USPS doesn’t have to do this, they don’t report to the president, and I don’t think this is in any way legal.
If the postmaster general follows this order I would hope anyone in Congress could haul him in and have him arrested.
States run elections, period, and this is blatant election tampering.
The postmaster was appointed during trump’s first term and was constantly trying to destroy the USPS then, and has been trying since.
They are sitting on a huge pension fund that team trump wants to embezzle or spend on war.
Biden admin did not push to get rid of him, so this was part of a bipartisan finance driven plan to destroy the USA.
One more Biden/Democratic failure. They had four years to get rid of that traitor who was systematically destroying the USPS, and after trying absolutely nothing, they were out of ideas, and he’s STILL there. They aren’t any more effective when they have power, than when they don’t. Fucking LOSERS.
Last admin didn’t do enough AND you have a child’s point of view of the nuance of that actual situation and the board of governors. Also, as others have pointed out, DeJoy is gone, but only to go back to privately grifting. Further, last admin was the most progressive of my lifetime, but it still wasn’t enough. You seem to gauge success based on your gut and guess what your gut is full of, friend?
Try not to speak with righteous, blustering confidence while your head is all the way up your ass… The words get muffled and it’s hard to hear you embarrassing yourself.
He’s not still there though. But don’t worry! He was replaced by an equally shitty bootlicker
Sure, but it’s just one more major example of how infuriatingly weak the Biden administration was. They didn’t even try for justice at all, or attempt to avoid an even worse future For America. Literally nothing. Even with the Insurrection, they only punished the foot soldiers, and NONE of the leaders, who should have been hanged.
Yep. Legally they couldn’t fire him, and they prided themselves on following the law. Trump regime has no such qualms and breaks the law with impunity daily, knowing that it will take years for challenges to work their way through the court system, and then finally wind up at the corrupt Supreme Court which will take their side.
they prided themselves on following the law.
Except international law against genocide, occupation, and human rights violations.
Somehow MAGAs get anything they want, and Dems cant figure out how to get ANYTHING they want.
Biden couldn’t fire DeJoy directly, but he appointed a majority of board directors who could fire him, and then they decided to not remove him. Choosing appointees who will carry out the presidents agenda is a primary responsibility, and Biden seriously blew it. Again. I understand why it didn’t occur to him, he could barely remember his name, but he had a whole team which should have been picking up the slack, and they obviously failed.
And even if his administration can be excused for that bit of incompetence, he could have removed DeJoy “for cause,” such as inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance, all of which he’s been criminally guilty.
They had multiple LEGAL options do get rid of him, and MAGAs would have availed themselves of all of them, and then some, but Biden couldn’t do the bare minimum of vetting his appointees for those who were committed to his agenda.
Dems are OBSSESSED with being more polite to corrupt treasonous genocidal pedophiles, than fulfilling their Constitutional responsibilities to their own voters, who are desperate for real action from their elected representatives.
Not to mention Merrick Garland. 😩
ANOTHER unforgivable sin of the Biden administration. Trump’s treason unfolded completely in the open, as he announced, schemed, promoted, organized, and launched a violent Insurrection to overthrow the government and install himself as Dictator-For-Life. We watched every minute of it LIVE, from his first Save The Date announcement - “Will be wild!” It was the most open & shut case in legal history.
But Biden appointed the most feckless REPUBLICAN to be his Attorney General, who proceeded to dither and slow walk the case, giving Trump a two year head start to run out the clock, and if there was anyone who knows how to manipulate the court system, it’s Trump. It’s one of his few talents, all of which are criminal.
Trump will always be considered the Worst President in history, he’s already earned it many times over, but Biden will be in the Bottom 10, for allowing Trump to regain power.
You know that Dejoy guy isn’t there anymore right?
The fact he didn’t try to get him fired is not helping Democrat neo-liberal’s case of being paid opposition.
Just like other past irregularities, mild repurcussions after the fact is too late when the election is already stolen.
Not in Trump’s America.
Elected by Trump.
No consequences.

Donny needs to fuck off and not be alive.
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
We really need to start melting them down.
One of the great failings of this government is not providing a punishment for repeatedly issuing unconstitutional orders. He has exactly zero incentive to stop.
Our Congress has allowed a lawless president to do whatever he wanted. It is a MAGA coup dresses as Republicans.
This is pretty much the Republican project all along.
There are no laws; we made the whole thing up
Checks and balances doesn’t work if one party is in charge of everything. I found the John Oliver episode about Hungary to be particularly terrifying.
Imagine if Trump rigged the election so they had a super majority in the senate and a majority in the house. They could rewrite the constitution. What then?
Link?
Checks and balances doesn’t work if one party is in charge of everything.
Nixon could not have been convicted without Republican votes. But Nixon resigned, because he knew Republicans would vote to impeach and convict him. So the system can in theory work, even if the system depends on policing its own.
It is in fact quite normal across democracies, for stuff like this to depend on the votes of the party in power.
The problem here is that Republican representatives are traitors to their oaths. And more importantly, that Republican voters are not demanding their representatives to not be traitors.
So Republican representatives simply know that they only get reelected if they act tribally Republican. Note that this is generally not a problem with Democrat voters.
Nixon had to be charged with crimes and serve prison time for the system to have worked. As usual politicians get that magical get out of jail card when the exact opposite should be happening. They should be held to much higher standards and punishments.
Ford pardoned Nixon, and Ford lost the next election. And the pardon probably played a part in Ford losing. So the system still sorta worked then, if imperfect.
Nixon was never officially charged with any crime. The modern day pardon is an extremely corrupt practice as evidenced by the current administration. It should be removed entirely honestly.
If it is allowed it should be the responsibility of a non-partisan committee. The president could refer someone but should have zero power over it. I think it would still be abused, but at least there could be some checks and balances.
Just make it for death row inmates only. Other than that it should just be handled by the courts.
So Republican representatives simply know that they only get reelected if they act tribally Republican. Note that this is generally not a problem with Democrat voters.
Ironically, it turns into a problem for Democrat voters.
Re-writing the constitution (e.g., amendments) also takes approval from the states themselves.
According to … the constitution
There’s some circular logic happening which Trump sees through. Much like SCOTUS, the constitution can’t enforce itself. So you can just bully it.
There have been cases before where the States threatened to delcare the Constitution null and void due to a pending violation. Contrary to what people think, the States have quite a bit of leeway to deal with things. So far, they have been trying to deal with things legally.
True. I guess he can interpret it however he wants and trust that the supremely court will back him.
I saw he will be the first president sitting in on arguments to the supremely court. I wonder if this is an attempt to intimidate justices that might go against him.
I mean if that doesnt provoke a civil war nothing ever will
It won’t. I’d be more likely to leave the country than to die for it.
what I don’t understand is why don’t they just come out and say “ok, no more elections. this is a dictatorship now” like they keep tip toeing around it, they keep breaking the law, insider trading, illegal operations, all of it and they’ve gotten away with it every time. So why do they keep teasing something they know they have a strong possibility of getting away with? who are they afraid of?
They’re following the Hungary model, which in turn was a variation on the Russian model.
What they’re attempting is a “legal coup,” which is the typical modern democracy-to-authoritarianism transition. They want to retain the facade of constitutionality and lawfulness, to avoid creating an armed insurgency situation, and to avoid burning the value of the current economic system by crashing the stock market or causing investment to flee.
Doesn’t Russia still hold elections where Putin always wins? Or North Korea?
I think the idea is you keep having elections so you can say you won.
As opposed to the wonderful and free America, which holds elections where we get a choice between one of two candidates favored by corporate oligarchs. Candidates who are appointed to the candidacy, if the parties so wish, by “[going] into back rooms like they used to and [smoking] cigars and [picking] the candidate that way”, as acknowledged by our own courts.
Sure, a third party candidate can run, but without funding they have no actual chance of winning even if their message would otherwise resonate with the public. That’s not a functional republic or a functional democracy, it’s democracy theater put on by our ruling class to appease the working masses.
Whataboutism.
A. We weren’t talking about that.
B. Yes it sucks too, but the alternative, which we were actually talking about, is objectively worse.
-
I know, you were spreading western exceptionalism talking points, which is what I wanted to dispel.
-
North Korea has killed fewer people than America. I’m obviously not pro-Russia but just quantifiably, they have also killed fewer people than America (especially if we’re talking Russia as a current political entity and not USSR). Both also contribute less per-capita to the climate change destroying our planet. So “worse” by what metric exactly?
Now they are talking about killing people and the climate. How far we stray, to be edgy.
What are you yapping about?
-
It’s to pacify the enlightened centrists who will go along with it as long as it’s supposedly ‘what the people want’.
What’s that!!? The fat orange child rapist who tried to incite an insurrection a few years ago is now trying to fix and fuck things up in other ways?
Well well well, what a complete and utter shock. If only there was a way for america to have seen this coming…Tried to incite and succeeded at inciting insurrection.
He’s not leaving in 4 years.
No but it would be a miracle if he lived that much longer after that.
Impeach him now
Drag him into the street and beat the sack of shit to death. Fuck this crap man.
I have seriously never hated another human being with the unquenchable fire with which I hate Donald Trump. I’ll help, if we ever drag him out!
UHM, THEY LEGALLY CANT??? 😭
He can’t legally rape children either but that didn’t stop him.
Literally hasn’t ever stopped him doing anything
yeah, though we really wish prone would do their jobs and impeach him and jd out already
Who’s gonna stop them?
