Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

This is absolutely the plan, and he's going to do it no matter what. He can't afford to let the House flip, and have a new crop of Progressive, Democratic Reps screaming for MAGA blood, take charge of investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers. We have NEVER suspended elections in this country, not even during the Civil War or WW2. That's a BRIGHT RED LINE, that must never be crossed. It is the official end of American democracy, and ends our obligations to this government.
Politicians are the most cowardly animal in the human jungle. When they start to feel fear, they surrender immediately. A perfect example is the Epstein Files. They couldn't get enough votes for a long time, but when a few MAGAs crossed the aisle, and refused to be intimidated, the rest of MAGA became afraid of being saddled with accusations of covering for Pedophiles, and they ALL voted for it. Even Trump had to go for it.
We have to make them feel like that about Martial Law, and cancelling elections. We have to make it VERY clear to all MAGAs that is is beyond unacceptable to support that, and the personal consequences will be far, far worse than just losing their jobs.
We are starting to see more serious cracks in MAGA. This nonsense about Greenland, and ICE, and Venezuela, and Iran, etc. is starting to get to them. They don't support any of it, and every day they are forced to defend the indefensible, just to protect the MAGA Grand Extortion Scheme, that doesn't help them, just the Sociopathic Oligarchs. They have to take the heat, while Trump and his buddies light cigars with embezzled $100 bills. I heard one MAGA Rep say that while we will never hear it from them, ALL of his colleagues are really upset about this mess.
Call your MAGA reps and senators, and tell them you're a big MAGA supporter, but you didn't sign up for this at all. Make them believe that their constituents have their backs. Give them the courage to resist MAGA's worst instincts, and hold the line on elections. We need to tell them that if he cancels elections, we absolutely need House MAGAs to vote for impeachment, and Senate MAGAs to vote for conviction. It's not about preserving their party any more, it's about preserving America. Do they want to be the people whom world history will record as giving away America, and the world, to traitors, rapists, and pedophiles?
Make them fear us more than MAGA, and they will dance to our tune, and they are already getting nervous and warming up.
