The Washington Post reported that activists are working with the White House on an executive order to declare a “national emergency” over America’s elections and pave the way for a power grab.
“Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting,” reported the Post‘s Isaac Arnsdorf. “President Donald Trump has repeatedly previewed a plan to mandate voter ID and ban mail ballots in November’s midterm elections, and the activists expect their draft will figure into Trump’s promised executive order on the issue.”
Peter Ticktin, a MAGA activist in favor of the executive order, told the Post that “we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes,” and that “the president has to be able to deal with it,” including by banning mail-in ballots and certain voting machines.
Man he’s really got this civil war speedrun record locked in.
Speed run it all the way to the guillotines plz
The French didn’t exactly speed run it themselves.
I’m currently listening to old episodes of the Revolutions podcast, and am midway through the French and it bares no resemblance to what’s going on now. Which, when it gets to the reign of terror, might be a good thing… But that’s the one part of it that I could see happening again.
A lot of the terror was fueled by a murderous little shit with a bootleg newspaper. There’s a reason why lible and slander laws are so powerful in that part of Europe.
The administration bears no resembelence to the french revolution, more to when the rich back a dictator to ptotect them from reform and that dictator ends up cannibalizing them, like with Sulla in rome a generation before caesar. Or obviously hitler.
He’s so old though, the succession will decide it, if they can hold onto it and fix elections for the new guy, with dems being the opposition I don’t see what would stop them either, certainly not newsome.
Yeah, took like 50 years.
Along with a systematic elimination of the nobility and upper levels of the clergy, it was a post-revolutionary faction fight between the middle class (for example, provincial lawyers like Robespierre before he became a pamphleteer) and the working class.
The 1789 revolutionaries didn’t really have much of a plan to govern in the unlikely event of victory, so they started improvising, and that didn’t go well. It also didn’t help that the leaders of every other country in western Europe wanted them dead.
The American revolution, on the other hand, was bourgeois-led, with minimal involvement by working people, and they learned a lot from their initial failed attempt at governance, the Continental Congress, so by the time they wrote the Constitution, they had at least some idea of what would work and what wouldn’t.
The Revolutions podcast is a gold mine. Have you listened to the latest season? You’re in for a big surprise if you haven’t :)
Saw a nice sign in a nearby town: “They want 1939 but they’ll get 1789.”
At least some people are starting to get it.
No clipping and straight to the end, please.
I’d be fine with a BLJ into the guillotine.
Yah! Yah! Yayayayayyayaa 💀

Can we stop with this? This is a ridiculous fantasy that just makes you look immature.
It’s too boring for American audiences. Now, woodchippers on the other hand…
I’d be more in favor of sending them to their favorite place on earth: Epstein’s island. No supplies, no running water, no help. Just a webcam and maybe a drone once in a while.
Woodchippers can’t handle the moisture content, but this is literally what industrial meat grinders are built for.
Or maybe it’s time to revive the method used to rid the world of Manius Aquillius: molten gold forced down the throat.
Without the war, and the civility.
