"...Trump says he will only accept the midterm results ‘if the elections are honest’ and again pushes to ‘nationalize’ voting.

President Donald Trump also refused to rule out a third term..."

"..Just to be clear. Trump has broken the law countless times now. Just because it is illegal, doesn't and won't prevent him from collecting ballots from across the country with the use of federal forces such as the FBI.

Lots of people say this won't happen because it is unconstitutional. Or because it is obviously state jurisdiction. That. Doesn't. Matter. He. Doesn't. Care.

A State's only recourse would be to have the national guard or police physically prevent the federal employee from doing this. There are likely few governors or mayors who would go to this length.

By the time the boxes and hard drives are in D.C., lawsuits are too late. And the election results become immediately into question. And we would officially be in a Putin era government.

States need to start deciding now what they would do in the instance of the federal government seizing their ballots.."

Comedians are not funny anymore because they are caught up in trying to be polirically correct and that runs in diametric opposition to the whole point of comedy.

Make America Happy Again. MAHA.

Every Apple device I own expires. The batteries suddenly start losing their charge…all on cue. The ‘apps’ will no longer work, etc.  it is planned obsolescence. Diabolical, predatory, emblematic of our parasitic society. All of these devices designed to facilitate communication between people have alienated us from one another more than anything.
You need to buy a newer one.

AI writing is easy to spot. It is repetitive, dull, and akward.  Any student caught using AI should be expelled. It's as bad as plagiarism. It is just another reason for people not to learn essential skills from an early age....like forming a sentence, solving a problem, reading a book, going to a bar and picking up a girl instead of using some bullshit "app" like a nutless fairy.
Somebody sent me a 350 page book written entirely by AI. It was very well written and totally unreadable.

The prot6esters are mentally ill - clearly. They don't represent even a significant minority of Americans. they are the lunatic fringe. What they are 'protesting' is their own failure at life.

You might want to check the polls.  Fact is, most of America is represented by the protestors. 

It's easy to forget, up there in your bubble, but folks like you are the actual outliers.

There's 340 million Americans. The protesters are a fringe minority. They speak for no one except themselves and the particular psychological pathologies they present. They are directionless trash.

I am sure that makes you feel good but it 'taint true.
