#Trump starts an unnecessary war at the behest of Israel and the US Israeli lobby that he now doesn’t seem to know how to win or end. So he totally tires of the #IranWar and appears now obsessed with his #ballroom, #VoterSupression and the continuing campaign of vengeance against his perceived enemies. After telling us that taxpayers wouldn’t pay a dime for his ornate, gilded ballroom, he now asks for a billion dollars to fund the project. Uh-huh. The #Republicans war has already cost 14 American lives, hundreds of injured and cost us $25 billion. Not to mention our depleted arsenal. There’s no end in sight - so more of our resources and our $$ down the drain. This at a time when the average American is suffering a severe #affordability crisis and the #TrumpRegime is cutting funding for basic services and our safety net. This is crazy stuff. What’s worse is our descent into #billionaire designed & funded #fascism. At the end of the day, #RepublicansDidThis to us. Remember in November! #USPol #USPolitics

"This is an effort to change the very basic nature of American democracy. This is the institution of American authoritarianism, and it is happening right here in front of us. And if we don’t call it that, and if we don’t recognize that all of these things are tied together, we are going to be powerless to stop it."

"If Democratic leaders were so unelectable, the Republicans would not go to such lengths to rig district voting maps and keep Democratic voters from the polls. Indeed, while voter fraud is vanishingly rare, the Republicans are using the specter of it to engage in election fraud: manipulating the mechanics of an election to favor one side over another.

“At bottom, Trump’s rant clearly signals his intent to use presidential power in every conceivable way he can to swing the midterm elections against Democrats.”

“Trump’s claims are so far from anything even remotely legal or constitutional that I doubt even the corrupted federal judiciary will have much truck with it.”

Allison Riggs, after a six-month battle, sworn in to North Carolina Supreme Court:
---
“This is a victory for North Carolina voters and the rule of law,” Riggs wrote on social media last week after a federal judge ordered her 2024 victory to be made official. “But we must keep fighting to elect judges who will put the Constitution over party and personal ambition.”

North Carolina, keep your eyes open. Votes are being thrown out:
NC Supreme Court votes to throw out some, but not all, ballots contested in 2024 race for seat on court

I simply can't shake the feeling that the #Election was stolen via #VoterSupression & #TossedBallots, and the people who did it KNEW that #Democrats couldn't cry "Stolen Election" & demand #Recounts without looking like crybabies & total hypocrites, so we'd rather roll over and not question the result than look like a bunch of sore losers.

THEY KNEW that after ridiculing The #TreasonWeasel for claims the 2020 #Election was "stolen", Dems would rather roll over than look like hypocrites & crybabies if we dared suggest 2024 was "stolen"."Recounts" won't reveal #VoterSupression & voter purges.
And don't forget 65 "bomb threats" at polling places across the country. #Investigate2024

@dymaxion Massive #VoterSupression was enacted by #BananaRepublicans in #Congress and legislatures in #RedStates - and condoned by the Roberts #SCOTUS.
But how much more #VoterIntimidation resulted from #BombThreats to polling places in #Democratic districts of #BattlegroundStates ? #TrumpRussiaCollusion has never stopped!

Salon (Heather Digby Parton)
There has long been a belief among a certain set of America's white elites that democracy is good in theory and a very nice idea, but really we can't let the riff-raff have the last word. Our history of denying the voting franchise to vast numbers of citizens goes all the way back to the beginning and we're still fighting over it. That's also why we're stuck with the Senate which gives two senators to states that have more cows than people and two senators to states that have many more people than cows. They finally managed to allow direct election of those senators, which was a step in the right direction, but the Senate is an undemocratic institution.
