Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Also he's 0 for 17 on suing states for their voter rolls.
Unfortunately, a lot of red states probably handed the voter rolls over willingly, without needing a lawsuit at all.

A couple thousand ICE agents spread across 110,000 polling places in the US?
Good luck.
Doesn't have to do them all. Democrats are super concentrated relative to Republicans. Here in Georgia, if ICE would shut down just Fulton county, they'd shift the state-wide margin by close to 10 percentage points, and that's just 40 polling sites.

Key swing states have been systematically limiting the number of voter locations and ending other means of voting like mail-in. Expect to see squads positioned around key Democratic cities within swing states. Also expect "emergency situations" like the threats to voting locations like last time. That strategy didn't get nearly enough attention.
They have around 30,000, and will likely expand that rapidly before the election. They just have to slow stuff down and dissuade enough swing voters from showing up.

It has to be some kind of mass psychosis at this point, the amount of faith Americans continue to have in systems that the fascists have systematically subverted and destroyed on their path.

What the article isn't saying is that Bannon himself is part of the plan, making sure everyone knows a national emergency is coming, getting in front of it. Bannon's not talking about election insecurity out of concern: telling the media now is his part in making it happen. This asshole WANTS a third term and everything that goes with it, including ICE at polling stations:
Steve Bannon Doubles Down on Third Trump Term -- Newsweek, April 2026
Also, it bears repeating: before you give this asshole too much credence it's best to always keep in mind that Bannon was arguably Jeffrey Epstein's best friend. So close were they that Epstein was on his way to meet Bannon the day he got arrested in 2019. His very last text was to Bannon as he was being detained at Teterboro Airport, telling Bannon their plans are "All canceled" now.
To quote one of Bannon's texts to Epstein,
Somebody explain to me how there’s rampant fraud but also the republicans took the house, senate, presidency, and the Supreme Court. That makes no sense.
The fraud is rampant. It's called gerrymandering, closing polling locations, poll taxes (ID requirements that cost money), propaganda, voter intimidation, etc
Republicans are obsessed with voter fraud because they are the ones doing it and they can't comprehend that everyone else wouldn't be too. "I cheat all the time, how come I can never catch the other guys cheating?"

The only national emergency is him raping kids. Bullshit cunt of a president. Even Joe Biden was better.
Biden was the first president since the 70s who tried to enforce antitrust laws, meaning going against megacorporations to reduce anti-competitive practices.

The number of noncitizens on the rolls is microscopic compared to the election results. Removing these votes does nothing to change the outcome.
Only by removing citizens under guise of checking the rolls can they hope to gain an upper hand. This is a conspiracy to steal the midterms.
Its the most obvious conspiracy ever too. But americans are dumbfoundingly moronic so they will probably just allow this to happen.

Imagine what the US would be like right now if Kamala had won. The US likely wouldn't be as hated or disgraced as it is now.
There’s no conceivable way things would’ve been worse under Kamala. She wouldn’t have played three card monte with the nations coffers, she would have been professional and dignified when talking to press and to foreign leaders, and she wouldn’t have hammered on the DARVO button at the first sign of criticism.
Anybody that disagrees, well, enjoy your koolaid.

non north American curious: Donnie announced a third term yesterday I think, does this means that Obama can also run? it would be interesting to see it, because from what I see in social media, Obama is loved and missed
There gonna say: you are allowed two consecutive terms. Obama already had those.
Dirty trick that should not be able to stand. But this is an authoritarian society we are talking about

I have no doubt that this will happen. The Iran war is about to hit a nasty escalation with usa ground troops. It will not be a decisive victory because Iran makes about 55,000 drones a year. Last year it shipped them to Russia. Now they will be used against americans and the other gulf states. Desalination plants will be the first targets and then watch the whole mideast explode and the world economy tip into recession and possibly depression.
This could well happen soon and then drumpf will cancel midterms.

Everyone thinking there's no way this will work is 100% the reason it inevitably will. Y'all keep believing in the system...

The evidence is coming from inside the house.
It's wild that this writing has been on the wall since at least before he was reelected, and it literally does not matter at all.

So, his administration is still sticking with the story that china took information from millions of ballots, but didn’t change any votes. How exactly does showing your photo id protect from that? What are they doing to safeguard our polling data? Oh, right, nothing…not even a slap on the wrist for china because “that was a long time ago and they’re a different country now.” It’s all just going to be a bullshit excuse for what’s coming from him.
I think everyone has been mostly peaceful so far because we’re expecting the midterms to change things. If he fucks with the elections, it’s not going to remain peaceful and he’ll use that as an excuse to use the military on citizens and jail democrats.
