He's feigning ignorance of an election he posted an endorsement of literally hours previous. He must think everyone is as brain addled as he is.

It may have been one of the Stephen's or Karolyin' who posted that shit.

Aye, possible.

I'm working off cliff notes here, but it's hard for me to see funding all of the government except DHS with a later legislative skirmish around ICE tactics being anything other than a win for the minority party. There has to be leverage there that can be used to improve things. Like, you all can't hold food stamps hostage but depending on votes we can hold your military police hostage unless you truly back off and de-escalate.

I agree completely. Let's see if Schumer and Jeffries show some spine.

Question. Trump is claiming he needs to “control” a dozen or so state elections to prevent undocumented immigrants voting.

Can undocumented people vote in general elections? What ID do you need to get on the register?

ID laws to register and to vote are different from state to state, but you still have to be a US citizen for your vote to count in federal and state elections.

Do people attempt to vote illegally? Yes. Does it actually impact elections? No.

It's a red herring.

The executive branch doesn't run elections. States do. States would have to willingly comply with Trump. Maybe some would, but not all. If he ran in 2028, which would be illegal, I doubt he'd be on the ballot in every state. To change this, 2/3rds of the states would need to ratify. There's no ratifying shit in the constitution in this political age.

When I vote, I get asked for my driver's license. This is to make sure I'm at the right polling place to get my ballet, if I'm voting in person. Voting by mail, they send me a ballot. You have to sign up for that with your information. Undocumented immigrants can't vote, they aren't registered. You need to register to vote. Trump is a big fucking liar. Voter fraud is rare and by the evidence we've seen, it's usually right wingers doing it.

You guys are getting way too worried. There's a bunch of people who believe in a little something called the 2nd Amendment - they told me that when the government starts to encroach like this, they'll rise up to defend us from it.
