Originally published at: Democrats Issue Stark Election Warning: ‘I’d Be Shocked If He Didn’t Try To Cheat’ - TPM – Talking Points Memo
The alarm bells are ringing. Five House Democrats appeared at a shadow hearing on Wednesday during which they warned that President Donald Trump and his allies are actively trying to interfere with next month’s midterm elections. While the members of Congress were clearly concerned about Trump’s ongoing efforts to suppress voting, they also touted their…

They aren’t “trying to interfere…” They are interfering. Please stop hedging.

“And the American people are punching Trump right in the nose.”
And instead of blood, gravy will come out.

History is being written right now, and I say DJT will be known as the most corrupt leader (sorry, I cannot associate his name with the Presidency) in our nation ever. Ever!

This shouldn’t be controversial: Donald Trump will do everything he can, legal or otherwise to stay in power and out of jail.
Everything is on the table. Everything. Consider the violence of Jan. 6th 2021, and how even though it was shocking, it was also kind of half-assed, and didn’t accomplish what he wanted.
He could send troops to the polls, despite what the constitution, the courts or state governors say. He could direct local officials to file legal challenges where the GOP lost. He could have the DOJ investigating candidates, even arresting them on phony charges that won’t stick. The GOP led congress may just refuse to seat winning DEM candidates. Whatever it takes.

Haters going to hate, cheaters are going to cheat. They already are: we know Democrats have to win by 4-5 more points to overcome the Electoral College structural disadvantage. Fox uses the Soviet firehose of disinformation 24/7, with the goal of making truth unknowable. Trump picked Supreme Court, the big tech money. Now we know what you would get if you crossed W.C. Fields with Adolf Hitler.
PS Thom Hartmann has done commentary on the history of Republican Presidential cheating and provides evidence that no Republican has won an election since Nixon legitimately.

Democrats Issue Stark Election Warning: ‘I’d Be Shocked If He Didn’t Try To Cheat’
Well duh. Why wouldn’t he. Cheating is all he knows.
The real questioni is how many people are going to be willing to go to the mat for him. He is an 80 year old who is in declining health, he lives in an information bubble that would make Hitler in his 1945 bunker seem well informed. I doubt any of his syncophants will stick with him. The tech bros don’t really fight. They just supply money. I am wondering if the masked men in ICE and Homeland Security are prepared to fight for him.

Kimberly Guilfoyle thought there would be no paper trail if someone wires $100K to AMEX to pay off her credit card bill. These people are corrupt and stupid. I found it interesting that she was aware of stuff not being in emails from that WSJ article yesterday. Trump is an mornon but he never used emails to avoid direct evidence.

My question is what will the States and Counties do when, not if, but when he sends ICE and the FBI and the Military and the Secret Service to the polls?
Court orders, injunctions, those are words on pieces of paper unless they are enforced.
