I believe this falls into the category of, "your gun, your foot" at this point.

I've seen a lot of these, but this one is particularly "special."

Actually, I have no problem going with paper ballots again, but instead of electronic machines, not in place of mail-in ballots, which are, in fact, paper ballots.
Isn't it the case that like 98 percent of the country votes with paper ballots? Or with machines that generate a paper ballot?
Y'know, there's only one person I've ever heard of who kept enemies frozen in carbonite as a trophy, so...I guess they're equating tfg with Jabba the Hut, a gross, disgusting, giant maggot looking, crime lord.

So, he is Emperor Shaddam IV from Dune (not to mention from the clunky 1984 Dune)? The funny thing is I have imagined Shaddam, after he was deposed by Paul Atreides (aka Muad'Dib, aka Kwisatz Haderach), sitting in his exile on Salusa Secundus whining about how unfair everything was to him.
On a side note, Christopher Walken was recently announced as taking the role of Emperor Shaddam IV in the upcoming Dune Part 2.
Didn’t the birthers used to mock, saying Obama was our “savior” and we worshipped him? I wouldn’t be caught dead doing any of costumed activities the MAGAts adore.
I wasn’t as aware of their projection proclivities back then.

Speaking of projection, the birthers also claimed that Obama would refuse to leave the WH on January 20, 2017.
I'm beginning to think/fear that the OSG thinks that, if he is re-elected, he can proclaim himself President-For-Life and Don Jr. (or maybe Ivanka) as his successor and that he can cancel the 2028 election. I really think that he wants to be (and thinks he can be) King of the United States.
After he met Kim Jong Un, early in his presidency, he referred to Un's president-for-life status and joked (was he joking?) that we should try it.
Considering that the independance war was about kicking out foreign royalty I keep wondering where these people got their education and desire to establish themselves in similar position. Like the Constitution had never been written. But then again, that paper was for "we the people" nor for fake bilionaires...

I just read a alternative history book called the last president. Seems relevant. It's about if Nixon got away with everything and in all his paranoia takes things as far as he can. Domestic terrorism attacks, assassination of opponents, replacing the upper echelons of the military with yes men. Luckily it has a happy ending
I have a different social media site in mind for the title of "Fake Twitter"...

New court documents have revealed that former President Donald Trump had a direct role in the legal strategy used by his team in their efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
A Thursday brief filed by John Eastman's attorneys in a lawsuit against the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack argued that Eastman—a Trump attorney who implored Vice President Mike Pence to block the congressional certification of states' electoral votes—has attorney-client privilege covering more than 100 documents because he worked on Trump's legal team.

Trump fears that by laying the groundwork to overturn Roe v. Wade, he has enraged ‘suburban women’ and given his enemies an opening, sources tell Rolling Stone
Donald Trump is on the precipice of achieving the most lasting and impactful part of his presidential legacy, as the justices he put on the Supreme Court prepare to help overturn Roe v. Wade and cement the former president’s status as a hero to social conservatives. But for a man who rarely opens his mouth without talking about his own (real or alleged) achievements, Trump has been near-silent on abortion since it became clear Roe was going under.
Instead, Trump has been privately fretting about what the impending collapse of abortion rights will do for his own political prospects, telling those close to him that the issue could hurt him with “suburban women” should he try to retake the White House in 2024. “Suburban women have been a recurring concern for [former] President Trump, including during the 2020 campaign, when his smarter advisers were sounding the alarm to him about how he was losing suburbs. He is … worried women in the suburbs could punish him for this one day, [too],” said a person familiar with the matter.
In the weeks since a draft opinion to overturn Roe was revealed, Trump has barely talked about the issue during interviews, at political rallies, and in his social media posts. According to two sources familiar with the matter, this is indeed an intentional and calculated silence. In recent days, Trump has told some of his allies and counselors that “suburban women” and other key voting groups don’t like hearing about the issue, as they are simply more pro-choice than the mainstream of the Republican Party and conservative movement. He has also told several associates that if he went too hard now on the topic of overturning Roe, it would give his enemies the chance to “use it against” him — the strong implication being, according to the two sources, that if Trump ultimately runs for the White House again in 2024, it could be more a political liability than an asset.
