The Washington Post reported that activists are working with the White House on an executive order to declare a ā€œnational emergencyā€ over America’s elections and pave the way for a power grab.

ā€œPro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting,ā€ reported the Postā€˜s Isaac Arnsdorf. ā€œPresident Donald Trump has repeatedly previewed a plan to mandate voter ID and ban mail ballots in November’s midterm elections, and the activists expect their draft will figure into Trump’s promised executive order on the issue.ā€

Peter Ticktin, a MAGA activist in favor of the executive order, told the Post that ā€œwe have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes,ā€ and that ā€œthe president has to be able to deal with it,ā€ including by banning mail-in ballots and certain voting machines.

    They’re admitting he’s a loser and couldn’t do the job?

    Nah that’s Biden’s fault too. But Trump is so much greater than Biden as well.

    It’s a fucking Mobius strip to self-fellatio

      How are they trying spin that to make it make sense? Biden was a regular private citizen when the 2020 election took place. He didn’t even hold any political office at the time. One could even have called Biden and ā€œunemployed old manā€ at the time the election had taken place.
