That giant squishing noise you hear is the sound of millions of leftists prolapsing their colons in rage.

quote:

President Trump on Tuesday left the door open to declaring a national security emergency and federalizing control over the November midterms.

Conservative commentator Wayne Root suggested during an interview with Trump that the president could declare a national emergency if the Senate does not pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act.

The legislation, which Trump and hard-line House GOP lawmakers have pushed Senate Republicans to pass for months, proposes requiring Americans to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and show photo ID at the polls.

“If you do this in the next month, we will get photo ID, proof of citizenship and a limit to mail-in ballots, and you don’t even need the Senate’s help,” Root said to the president, regarding him declaring a national emergency.
Trump cut Root off, saying, “Let me just say that stranger things have happened, OK? I’ll leave it at that.”

Securing elections is considered banana republic?

And yes fwiw if the dems required to have ID I would be all for it.

It’s not an emergency if it’s contingent on your preferred piece of legislation passing.

That’s called a pretext.

If a Dem declared an emergency over elections, 99% of this board would have a freakout.

I agree with POTUS Trump. The current state of our domestic politics and the lack of security in our national election system is a National Emergency that threatens the National Security of the USA.

POTUS Trump - please implement Executive Emergency Action now.

Not if it secured elections. The left declared emergencies if it protects the integrity. Prove me wrong.

Banana Republic was the 2020 election with mass distribution of mail in ballots, delayed counting, ignoring certification rules, etc.

Impeaching a president for a phone call with a foreign leader inquiring about the blatant corruption of his predecessor VP and future opponent, all of which has been documented as true.

I could go on and on.

Dems cheat. They admit that they cheat. They brag that they would DO ANYTHING to thwart Trump. They brag about resisting his presidency from the inside with shadow government.

There is absolutely NO reason why ID’s should not be required to cast a ballot. Unless you are a Dem and you plan to cheat.

Again the context matters. If they are doing it to secure elections yes 100%. If they did it to allow illegals to vote yeah there would be a problem.

Ever since at least 2000, the party not in the White House has always spread fearmongering that the party in power would cancel elections.

Democrats claimed Bush would do it.
Republicans claimed Obama would do it.
Democrats claimed Trump would do it.
Republicans claimed Biden would do it.

Now here we are…
