Commenting from the bow of my 45-foot sloop on Lake America today, to say I approve this message.

Carl L. McWilliams's avatar

Wake up and smell the coffee America, our Constitutional Republic has fallen. To believe otherwise is "hopeium" and "normalcy bias".

Rick Olivier's avatar

yeah, I was just trollin’ Carney, y’all. I’m just a few miles from the Gulf of AMERICA (! haha) and have never owned a sloop. Other than the John B. On vinyl.

What a great way to start the day..

Beating up lefties and making real Americans feel better.

Nice job.

My 90 year old mother, who was born in the USA and now lives in Canada, is convinced Trump hides under her bed at night to steal her democracy. Yet the last time I visited her there was an election day, and she saw nothing wrong with walking to the polling station, showing her voter ID, and casting her ballot in the one-day-only election, whose results were available the next day. I can't figure it out, but I believe many Americans feel exactly the same way.

Trump is a Nocturnal Genius to hide successfully under so many beds, both in this country and around the world.

Perhaps he has Santa Claus powers

Gwennie's avatar

Hee hee. That's actually the d party...or it would be if Santa stole the presents from kids he didn't like and gave them to kids he did...and paid himself $42 trillion for his hard work.

Here’s a news item from last week:

“A month after the Trump admin declared without evidence that thousands of noncitizens had illegally registered to vote in Nevada, DHS officials were unable to substantiate the claim — finding just 185 potential anomalies, not the 16,000 claimed last month.”

The Administration keeps pretending to “fix” a “problem” that mostly doesn’t exist. Many states, such as Utah and Colorado and Washington, have had mail-in voting for more than 15 or 20 election cycles now with few people from either side of the aisle complaining about the process … until Trump came along and decided that any election a Republican loses *must* be rigged — heads I win, tails you lose.

Trump’s good little buddy Mike Lindell certainly subscribes to that sore loser notion — insisting last week that his election loss in Minnesota (around 45,000 votes) was due to a rigged vote count. The only complication being that this was a primary election, so the alleged rigging was done by other Republicans. Maybe Trump can call the state election office and demand that they “find” 45,001 votes for Mike. LOL. The MAGA base is now eating its own. When you live in a conspiracy-filled universe, it’s only a matter of time.

Meanwhile Trump, who rails against the unacceptable corruption of mail-in voting, cast his primary vote in Florida this month … by mail, of course.

You can’t make this shit up. Good for me but not for thee.

The GOP is increasingly panicking as our highly unpopular president watches the looming midterms approach. An administration famous for its mischief will generate as much chaos as possible in order to sow as much doubt as possible about the inevitable spanking that the party in power is about to receive at the polls (if Trump doesn’t declare martial law in the meantime).

Hold on to your seats, because Trump in his usual fashion will shoot first and ask for a legal blessing later — after it’s too late to actually rectify the damage he’s caused, and his friends on the Supreme Court just tell us to stop worrying our pretty little heads about his increasing authoritarianism.

But We The People are getting fed up with those shenanigans, while his debt hits $40 trillion and our economy works for increasingly fewer people, and the “four week” war in Iran drags on for six months.

Trump better be careful. I am not a violent person. But if Republicans try to f*ck around with my state’s election this November, there will be holy hell to pay.

JDaveF's avatar

Good example of the violent Left.

Freedom 4 conservatives's avatar

GonzoDon says that he/she/it is not a violent person, then threatens violence if he/she/it doesn't get his/her/its way. Typical leftist dirtbag.

Rick's avatar

Man are you bat crap crazy ! You Democrats have lost yer minds...You actually believe are elections aren't fraudulent???

Take it up with DHS and Mike Lindell.

And all those Republican winners in Utah’s mail-in elections.

Rick's avatar

Were taking it up with the Supreme Court!!!If the votes are labeled w a Postal barcode with a legal registration then their is no issue but that's not happening? ID, Paper ballots and 1 day voting! Sucker....

Rosemary B's avatar

so sad. My little brother and my dear older sister read this stuff every day.

They are addicted to Trump hate.

SHUT UP, RETARD. You are truly an ignorant individual ,if you can read this article and that's all you can come up with ,Donald Trump owns you ,he lives in your head ,under your bed and in your tiny little mind 24/7 . Get out get some fresh air pull your head out of your anal cavity it's been in there far too long. Thank you for your attention to this matter Gonzodon. Ask Mommy for a cookie and go have a good cry

Don's avatar

A very well-reasoned, fact-based, point-by-point counter-argument to the examples I cited. Thank you so much for your insightful comment.

Merry McIntyre's avatar

Well, Smarty Pants, why don’t you come & hang out in Minneapolis some time. Maybe the cat would get your know-it-all tongue.👅

Dena's avatar

We in WA state only have mail in voting, no in person voting allowed, we don’t like it & have complained much.

Problem is our state has been run by one party rule - democrats for over 30 years & it’s a mess. Check out the 2004 Dino Rossi vs. Gregoire governor race to get a clear picture of how long the cheating has kept the crazy democrats, now socialists in power. We’ve fought back working hard on gathering signatures to put initiatives like no boys in girls sports & parents rights on the ballot using the referendum process. And guess what? Because we’ve been successful the dems now want to take that process away.

"The president might have to arrest some Democratic governors and hasten them into special military courts on insurrection charges. Henceforth, this will be known as the FAFO protocol."

Now that brought about a smile and a chuckle... me hoping it goes down the way JHK suggest!!

Te Burt's avatar

Yeah, I liked that one, too.

Freedom 4 conservatives's avatar

What no one will say out loud, especially the Democrats, is that most all of those Democrat Governors have, with their "sanctuary" edicts and declarations, already felony-violated 8 U.S. Code §1324. President Trump and the DOJ don't need to search for grounds to arrest and charge them--the grounds are already there. And that goes down to county and local levels, too. The National Emergency Declaration would just speed the process up significantly.

Thomas Madden's avatar

That is sheer fantasy, of course. Wishful thinking. No governors will be arrested, the midterms will not be postponed, and Santa Claus isn't real. . .

JoJo's avatar

I would love it if Bessent removed tax exempt status from the Democrat thieves! But I’ll believe it when I see it.

Trump may be a disappointment this second term to some but he’s still better than the speed train ride to Communism that is the Democrat party.

America is in trouble. Pray for her daily.

George Norwell's avatar

Precisely---it's fair enough to point out where Trump falls short, but we must always keep in mind how much worse it could be under the commies. I'm a big believer in the lesser evil---anyone who advocates for more evil, or avoids the choice, is both evil and stupid.

BTW, I run an actual, real non-profit (a rare disease foundation, basically a children's charity), and we're not allowed to venture into any kind of political activity. These various NGOs, including everything connected to Soros or Singham, or any of these other Bond villains attempting to destroy the world, do not even remotely qualify for tax-exempt status and should be shut down immediately. This is not controversial, it's the law.

Freedom 4 conservatives's avatar

President Trump has accomplished more amazingly good things in the first two years of his second term than most Presidents ever achieved in their entire Presidencies. Of course, the MSM ignores all of that, and the only other thing that pales President Trump's accomplishments is that there is so much wholesale destruction from the Obama and Biden tenures that still has to be cleaned up.

Rosemary B's avatar

yes we must. 🙏🏼

Rick's avatar

A wonderfully optimistic report ! And carries a lot of factuals.

I agree the Democrat Leadership is insane, so STATES refusing to VOTE would

be just another moment in their communal delusion.

We need a couple of major BUSTS.

NGOs without monies are like fish without bicycles.... or something like that.

John Schrauth's avatar

A guy half a mile down my road has a blue house with two blue cars and a blue sign stating "Vote Blue: Save Our Democracy." Democracy this, democracy that, yada yada.

I believe Article 4, Section 4 of the United States Constitution states that every state, including whichever one you are in, is guaranteed a republican form of government. We are not a crude and vulgar democracy. The minority is guaranteed rights in a republic. Was it Franklin who said "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding on what is for dinner?" Let's get on with the executive order!

He’s what they call a blue fruit! Poor thing 🤷‍♂️

Rosemary B's avatar

I am so sorry you have this guy in your neighborhood. I hope he keeps his infestation of stupidity anger to himself

Mark Marshall's avatar

I hope Trump is willing to go that far.

BUT Democrats want mail-in anarchotyranny not because they are insane but because they want to keep on stealing elections.

wkenn's avatar

I'm not sure about mail-in anarchotyranny, however they do want to 'win' an 'election' by any available means in order to continue feeding their grifting habit.

Here's two examples from MA, the supposedly deluxe safe haven state for pols with their snouts in the trough.

Essentially a twofer from Lawrence, MA.

William Wallace's avatar

There’s certainly going to be plenty of dramatics, hopefully our Judicial System steps up to protect our Constitutional Republic from the tyranny of the Grifter Representatives We The People are being held hostage by!

We need honest elections and an Accountable two party Representative System!

The Parties have lost sight of their Core Responsibilities (40 Trillion in Debt) while they’ve been busily stuffing their pockets with impunity with our Tax Dollars.

It’s time We The People end this Charade once and for all.

It’s our Money not theirs!

In This Dimension's avatar

The judicial system refused its original jurisdiction in 2020 when states were suing each other over this. I doubt Roberts has the brains or the balls to do what’s needed to save the Republic. And with Trump STILL having arrested nobody for the coup, kinda looks like he lacks them, too.

As far fetched as it seems, I think there is a better than even chance that Dems could refuse to participate in the election. It fits perfectly with the escalation of their rhetoric and behavior. Just this morning, Chicago's mayor is demanding to know which businesses in his city have contracts with ICE and are doing business with Israel presumably to end any contracts they may have with the city. There are no boundaries on what they are willing to do.

John Schrauth's avatar

Johnson, a supposed educator in a city with 25% illiteracy and virtually no students at "grade level" is an idiot and a fool. Chicago is now run by the Chicago Teachers Union and by extension so is the state. They are a motley combo of DSA and WEF. This is why there is an active movement to split the state. People outside the Chicago Metro will not much longer tolerate a cabal of 85 IQ "school teachers" who can't teach running the whole state. Seven or eight more counties are voting on the referendum this Fall. It has passed overwhelmingly in all the 33 or 34 counties who have already voted on it.

wkenn's avatar

'Chicago is now run by the Chicago Teachers Union and by extension so is the state.'

The same people planning, among other events, a nationwide strike on May 1st, 2028 aimed at shutting down the country.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

If I remember correctly, isn't Chicago divided into wards and each ward can only vote for filling its own position on city council rather than everyone being able to vote for the entire council as we do here in our town? Somehow, the city charter has made it almost impossible to vote for a Republican government there.

wkenn's avatar

These are 'features'. It is the same concept which drives the continued gerrymandering of Congressional districts in the Northeast.

John Schrauth's avatar

Seems I heard something recently that one of the issues dogging Chicago is they are the only or one of the couple of only major cities lacking a city charter. Regardless, a definitely unique form of governance.

wkenn's avatar

Wu in Boston is taking aim at anyone renting parking spaces (let alone renting their private property) to the Federal government in the form of ICE.

https://www.bostonherald.com/2026/08/18/boston-mayor-wu-formally-warns-private-property-owners-not-to-lease-parking-to-ice/

Is there a pattern here?

Darrell Koerner's avatar

How Chicagoans could vote for an imbecile like Brandon Johnson says a lot about the formerly good people of Chicago.

George Norwell's avatar

I've actually known quite a few people from Chicago, and none of them were good. Sociopathic assholes, every one. I realize that sounds rather extreme, but Chicago seems to have become an asshole magnet at this point. And as you and John (below) suggested, all the good folks decamped to Florida and various other sunshine states long ago.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

There's also the other side of Chicago politics. Years ago Bill Moyers did a great documentary on how it was that Democrats got such a lock on the city. I think it was called "Vote for Me" and was shown on PBS when that network was honest. It was shocking just how far the Dems were willing to go to stay in power. Republicans were demoralized in the face of it. And that was in the 1980s! So, I don't completely blame voters.

John Schrauth's avatar

What it says about them is that they moved to Florida and Tennessee.

Suzie's avatar

The DOJ is already sending “minders” to a bunch of states to monitor their election processes and procedures. Rather than the NatSec EO, which would truly create chaos and havoc, (much to the delight of the Left as they thrive on such), the DOJ could empower a veritable army of “minders” to ALL major election states, particularly swing and blue states. The intimidation factor alone, not to mention potentially catching nonsense in real time, could be a powerful tool, especially as time is short before the midterms.

John Schrauth's avatar

That still won't get you into the counting centers or rooms where the truckloads of "mail-in" late ballots from China will be delivered after everyone goes home for the night or there's a "water leak."

News Do's avatar

It also won’t stop the legal posting of unwatched ballot boxes, the collection of ballots from unknown locations, the failure to validate any of those ballots, or the counting of them in secret places. Nor the adjustment of counting machines to reflect a sufficient number of votes to tilt the election in the desired direction.

Jeff Keener's avatar

The USPS should not engage in mail fraud and states who refuse to conform to the EA would be committing mail fraud. Therefore, the USPS should be barred from delivering ballots to/from states committing mail fraud.

Burnt taco's avatar

Don’t forget the dems are teamed up with Carney as the new leader of the newest world order. Grabbing on to the dying corpse of the British empire and their pawns at the WEF/Vatican. We can’t invade America and kill the white Christian with jihadist cockroaches on welfare without the help of the empire elites.

Tired of winning I believe.

Te Burt's avatar

Aren't we all! But that's war for you.

David "JC" Penny's avatar

I think it'll go with Purcell on this one. Not by choice, but by experience. My hunch is that POTUS thinks both houses of Congress will remain GOP majority whether or not he drops the hammer of a Nat Sec EO. He's got 2 years as a Lame Duck that he's gonna need as much of the continued nothing from them....no need to rile the hens [Karens], just yet.

Rick's avatar

If Trump has a congenial Congress, his last 2 years will be anything BUT lame.

The man has the forging power of 10 Paul Bunyons.

In reply to your wisdom, women should never be permitted to vote, nor to maintain any

position in American politics, because women are effn effeminate/pacificists in nature, but

not the nature of American male warriors that are required in American politics. American

Politics is unnatural for females to participate, that is why women are seldom asked and

selected to lead their countries, when males at the same time, have proven worse, similar

to how Kamala Harris was SELECTED, over worthless effn China Joe Biden.

What say thee, America?
