TSF, i'm sure, knows he's dying. He also knows losing this November will destroy him. He KNOWS he has got to win to continue destroying our country. So i'm just saying HE will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to cheat,to win in November. I feel EVERY blue states, (especially tossup states needs to be 100% prepared for recounting votes. Maybe, if legal use Go fund me's to help pay if the vote recount is needed, People we need to VOTE like never before. Also don't even think about using postal service to mail ballots. Drop them off personally. PLEASE!

Everything he has done, and destroyed since January 2025 has been to distract from his "Epstein Connection" or to stay in office to "shield" him from its consequences.
I am sure that part of the destruction, and the disastrous "escapade" in Iran have something to do with certain videos
Like so:

that Pitin and Netanyahu, lords of the world's best spy agencies, must have in their possession to dangle over him and make him dance to their tunes

otherwise, I TOTALLY AGREE
He's not doing this for fun, however sadistic.
It's to keep him from paying for his EpsCrimes.
And that's why he's so desperate.

Trump is an incompetent bumbling idiot. All he knows are con games and money laundering, but those two are masters of their craft.

(24,722 posts)This is not the first rodeo for most states dealing with election interference and disruption. Many states are collaborating and war gaming various scenarios.
The states have fought back effectively against election interference in many recent elections, with negative consequences for the evildoers- just ask Tina Peters, Rudy Giuliani, Kari Lake, and John Eastman, among many others.
As Count Floyd used to say Ooo! Scary!
No he wont.
They KNOW they are going to lose BIG, and are acting like it (and this has been confirmed by numerous reports from both congressional and WH sources).
99% of the Republican ratfuckery and chicanery has already been frontloaded in the form of voter suppression laws and gerrymandering.
Whatever else they have up their sleeves will be desperate, Hail Mary political theatre.
NO- the elections wont be cancelled
NO- there wont be nationwide martial law
NO- the military isnt going to seize ballot boxes
NO- there wont be ICE agents at every polling place (they dont even have enough to deploy at the mythological strategic blue precincts, which dont exist, and cant be predicted in a climate where 2024 Trump +20 districts are swinging 15-30 points towards Dems in actual elections)
These ambiguous, amygdala-tickling fear mongering posts Do NOT help us prepare for November.
No, just NO.
If folks have money to spare, donate it to Democracy Docket- they are the experts at handling elections challenges, and will make challenges for Democratic candidates when legitimately warranted (DD does not react to kooky CT nonsense)
But above all, never, ever forget this one absolute truth:
Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless
Nothing can stop the Blue Tsunami in November.

(22,652 posts)Is at the tossup states. Mark my word that is where they will pull their shit. I even expect THEM to do some wild and crazy thing (illegal of course) but they own the DOJ to help them along. This election will be one for the record books, no doubt in my mind. I'm just saying recounts WILL be needed in TOSS UP STATES. We have to have big plans to FIGHT these bastards!

(24,722 posts)And why do you think the swing states dont already have BIG PLANS in place?
bluestarone
(22,652 posts)Problems in their voting precincts? I;m talking about every precinct in every tossup state. My only plan that I have control of is VOTING and help in my state voting precincts. That's all i can do.I am allowed to be worried about ICE interference.
Fiendish Thingy
(24,722 posts)Here is why any attempt to strategically deploy ICE in every precinct in every tossup state will fail:
1. They simply dont have enough agents. The swing states are generally considered to be MI, PA, WI, MN, GA, NC, NV, ME and AZ. This year, for the senate, AK, TX, OH, IA, and NE must be also considered toss up states (IIRC, IA, AK, and OH are officially rated as toss up by Cook).
Thats 13 states, with tens of thousands of precincts. Even if ICE assigned just ONE agent per precinct, they wouldnt have enough.
And they wont be able to select strategic blue precincts to target with their limited number of ICE agents
why?
Because:
2. Over the past 18 months, in actual election results in places like FL, GA, and TX, in districts that Trump won by +20 points in 2024 , Democrats have been over performing by 15-30 points, winning the vast majority of these races, and coming too close for Republican comfort in the rest.
In a few of these races, it was mathematically impossible for the democrat to win without getting a significant amount of votes from republicans
Under those conditions in DEEP RED DISTRICTS, it will be impossible to strategically target precincts to disrupt without risking compromising races Republicans have a chance of winning.
3. The widespread suffering caused by this administration has crossed all racial, regional and partisan boundaries, and will continue to worsen and unite the majority of the people against republicans from now until November.
Republicans KNOW this.
When our amygdalas get tickled, and fear bubbles up in the deep dark recesses of our minds, it is critical to stop and Do. The. Math. in order to answer the question of How would they do this thing I am afraid they will do?
If we let fear overtake our critical thinking, we become irrational and incapable of acting effectively.
The republicans KNOW they are going to lose the house, and the odds of losing the senate are increasing daily. They are acting like they know this, with a record number of retirements by those who dont want to serve in a minority congress. The Trump WH has been holding meetings to strategize how to defend against a Dem majority house.
This is why I say, confidently, repeatedly (but not cockily) that NOTHING can stop the Blue Tsunami in November.

(582 posts)You are exactly right. He will do ANYTHING to capsize or overturn the November elections. Anything.
He will try to negate results, file lawsuits to stop counting and order his subordinates to refuse to certify Democratic wins.
The "rigged elections" lies will start early and last forever.

(5,066 posts)I understand the sentiment, but where does it end? From now until November PEDO-TUS will be trying to scare and intimidate certain voters. Seizing past ballots has already been a reality as a show that his thugs can pull it off. So should we not drop our ballots off since he may try to seize those too? Should we not vote at all since he's threatened to put his paramilitary at polling stations.
I don't think we can go on living like he's won every battle. He's actually won very little when it comes to him changing the voting landscape. And I'm not talking about gerrymandered jurisdictions. Those are state and local decisions.
