Trump To Punish States For Not Ceding Election Authority

Trump Order Includes Provision That Could Punish States For Not Ceding Authority Over Election Admin To DOJ

I remember a few years ago when Biden signed an EO offering states more resources and data sharing and Republicans whined and complained that it was executive overreach. Republicans in states like Texas, Missouri, and Ohio sued claiming that only states are allowed to run elections and not the federal government.

Now, Trump signs an EO that’s draconian and authoritarian. It oversteps his power and demands that states run elections the way Trump wants or else he’ll cut their funding. Crickets from Republicans.

NO MALARKEY

I remember when the Democratic Party nominated Joe Biden, the only moderate among Warren / Sanders / Kamala / Beto / Buttigieg / Bloomberg / Marianne / Klobuchar / Tulsi / Yang / Patrick / Kraus / De La Fuente / Steyer / Booker and about a dozen others. The Democrats knew and understood that America was a centrist country, and only Biden could beat Trump, and only under circumstances where, say, a once-in-a-century global pandemic that originated halfway around the world could be blamed on Trump and a visibly failing Joe Biden could run for President under tightly controlled circumstances, let’s say, from a basement.

And then, the rest of the Democratic world pretended, post-election, that Joe Biden was not non compos mentis. And the talking heads/ Big Media / Big Academia / Silicon Valley / Hollywood / BigLaw / BigLabor all lauuuuughed and laaaaaaaaughed as their long-past-his-prime, doddering old fool of a President, easily led by Progressives enacted their radical agenda to the detriment of America. They printed money, they closed America for business, they kept children out of school and with a collective straight face, they and Lady MacBiden looked into the camera and promised that Joe Biden was of sound mind and body, knowing the entire time that the ol’ brain synapses just weren’t firing, but they didn’t care because without a working, functioning President, they could let slip the dogs of Democratic war and completely undermine the country with funding for the most ridiculous, stupidest, out-of-left-field causes that you literally couldn’t make that shit up.

And then, with four months to go, and Biden literally unable to form a cogent thought, the Democrats needed another President who was as broadly, ridiculously FAR FAR LEFT as the people pulling Biden’s puppet strings, so they nominated an SF/Berkeley far Left Progressive who was considered the most Left Senator by GovTrack, even more left than Bernie Sanders. This candidate ended up repudiating all of her prior positions, including:

1. Defund the police
2. Donate for bail for the MN rioters
3. Against plastic straws
4. Against fracking (she claims she’s been for fracking since 2020…but she lied, she didn’t support it, she only said at the time that Joe Biden was for it).
5. Against off-shore drilling
6. Against the American pipeline.
7. For decriminalization of illegal border crossings.
8. Called for getting rid of ICE.
9. Against private health insurance/medicare for all (she sponsored the darn bill, even the left-wing Urban Institute claimed it would cost $34 trillion over a decade, and would have kicked 180 million people off of private insurance)/Single Payer
10. Green New Deal (she supported AOC’s version in the Senate)
11. Mandatory gun buy-back programs, banning of AR-15s.
12. Supporting packing the Supreme Court
13. Federal jobs guarantee

The panicking Dems realized that they needed this half-wit in the White House, otherwise, the country would find out the perfidy that had been going on in Biden’s name. You know, Joe Biden, about whom Obama once said “Never underestimate Joe Biden’s ability to fuck it up.” So they raised over a billion dollars and outspent Trump 5:1…and the American people caught on to the fact that Kamala Harris was an incipient disaster.

And so they voted in Orange Man Bad.

And now you get articles from Big Media who claim they knew it all along that Joe Biden had lost it.

We were right: New books expose truth about Biden’s failing health

“I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I

Incidentally, Harris still thinks she would have beaten Trump if she’d had more than 107 days to campaign. Hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, sister…you were losing ground.

Cooler heads are prevailing. Looks like she’s leaning to a run for California Governor in 2026. Not surprisingly, she has given no interviews and not sought the spotlight. Basically, people close to Harris think she’ll glide into the CA governor’s mansion if she runs, and two potential competitors have said they’d drop out if Harris enters the race.

There are some who think denial is a river in Egypt.  Had she campaigned longer she might have lost a couple of marginally blue states.  Did she fail to notice her popularity started to slide as soon as voters realized what an empty vessel she is?
