State election officials were left unnerved after being summoned by the FBI to a mysterious conference to discuss “preparations” for this year’s midterm elections, which President Donald Trump has recently called for Republicans to “nationalize” in violation of the Constitution.
On Tuesday, election officials in all 50 states received an email from Kellie M. Hardiman, who identified herself as an “FBI Election Executive.”
Hardiman said the officials were invited to a call on February 25 with “your election partners” at the FBI, the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the US Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), and the Election Assistance Commission (EAC).
ICE won’t care about warrants. They’ll go in without them. They have Trumps blessing and that’s enough.
The voting machines will absolutely be or already have been fucked with. Using those alone is insane enough. Of course privately owned voting machines in the US will be tampered with, that’s part of the point of using them with the other part being money.
The best solution might in fact be a reboot. The only thing that will fix this is public action because it won’t shrivel and die over time. I think that’s what their citizens are hoping for while hoping their military go pick on other countries for a while, leaving them alone.
God I’m sick of their shit, I really am. Just do the right fucking thing.
What do you mean “reboot”?
Splitting into more than one nation. Societal breakdown then a rebuilding of the current one.
They seem intent on repeatedly doing the hardest, worst things in its current status.
Can you point to a historical situation that resolved like that?
Like that seems like what will happen if they are unnopposed entirely. That is the goal of the billionaire class right now: rebuild everything according to their vision. That is all in line with the billionaire worldview.
Historically, things can and will absolutely get worse.
I suppose Slovakia and the Czech Republic might be an example, if you’re talking about splitting and going forward.
Not really though, because this set of circumstances is unique. The US is where it’s at because of indulgence, laziness and selfishness. Germany isn’t a suitable comparison because it was oppressed and downtrodden by outside forces and breakdown from a war. The US is where it’s at because its people haven’t wanted, over a period of time to do certain things like vote.
I agree, things will get worse because what Churchill said is spot on…Americans will exhaust every option before doing the right thing. Right now the right and easiest thing is to go peaceful shutdown. It’s price is far higher than voting, but lower than civil war, demonstrating Churchill words in action. The sooner it’s done, the lower the cost.
Thats a fairly thoughtful analysis. The collapse of the USSR might also be a model, but none of those are ‘good’ outcomes
