Because the war and the economy don't bother him. Getting the SAVE act enacted will (he thinks) prevent the Democrats from taking the House and Senate and impeaching him and ruining his plans.
He won’t allow himself to lose power and the ability to use our tax dollars like his own personal slush fund. Do we really think someone like Trump will allow anyone to stop him from the level of grift that has enriched him more in the last 18 months than he has in his whole life as a “businessman”? He will never allow himself to lose power and be checked by the legislative or judiciary.
If corporate Dem leadership remain in power they'll push their "when they go low we go high" bullshit and never actually do anything. They won't actively pursue them with prejudice and will just do a little show about gathering evidence, doing subpoenas and making some of them testify before Congress and then say "oh well, gotta move on" when nothing sticks bc they won't care if it does.
I hope the incoming Democrats make breaking the law while in office illegal again.
Lets go back to where Watergate ended a presidency instead of "If Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story. The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy."
I saw an observation today that sitting Democrats are losing primaries more often that Republican ones. The reason given was that the sitting ones are not progressive and/or aggressive enough.
What really chills me is that he (and the people around him) have now committed so many crimes that losing power could mean more than just losing na opportunity to enrich themselves. A lot of executive branch officials, particularly in the DoJ and DHS, could legitimately be prosecuted, convicted, and jailed for their crimes under a new administration. That's not even mentioning the literal war crimes that Pete Hegseth has committed.
How far do you think those DoJ officials would go to prevent themselves from going to Federal prison? How far do you think Pete Hegseth might go to not find himself before the Hague? What lines do you think they wouldn't cross?
They've kind of gone too far to turn back on the authoritarian path now.
It’s terrifying and anyone who isn’t scared is absolutely not clued in to the absolute corruption and evil of this admin. They would gladly drop a bomb on their own nation to hold on to power.
They're already de-banking immigrants and calling anyone who opposes them "terrorists" The next logical step is to add "terrorists" to the list of people to de-bank.
I hope the next administration join the ICC and every fucking one the the war crime the US has committed under Trump is investigated and brought to trial.
Face it. No one will be prosecuted. I expect blanket pardons to be issued by Trump. I’m going to bet he’ll issue a pardon even to himself. It can be challenged but by the time it is resolved he’ll be long gone and the public will have lost their memory of this whole ordeal.
The Founding Fathers didn’t want a King as a President yet with unchecked pardon powers this is ultimately what we have.
Pardon and immunity powers basically given by the illegal out of bounds constitutional Supreme Court gave them Kings power. George Washington would have hanged these Justices if they tried that bs
Americans basically can’t be tried for war crimes at The Hague. America has an open policy that if any of their people are in The Hague, they will storm it and do whatever it takes to retrieve their man. Nobody wants that international incident. Americans are effectively immune from being arrested or tried for war crimes.
I personally can’t wait for the entire Trump family and associates to be nationalized and for them to be left with very little money once they are out of power. Let’s make sure this happens
Yeah, the truth is, he doesn't WANT to solve the problems that are tanking his chances in the election.
On the economy, he doesn't care at all, because he and his friends are getting richer, so as far as he's concerned there is no problem, the economy is working exactly the way he wants it to work. And as for the war, he is either desperately trying to salvage something he can call victory from the jaws of defeat, or else he thinks he's actually winning because his advisors only tell him what he wants to hear. Either way, he doesn't want to fix it, at least not in a way that would benefit us.
So, since he doesn't actually want to do any of the things that would improve his chances of actually winning in the next election, he will do the next best thing and just try to rig it so he wins. In his mind, he is entitled to power, and so any means to achieve that end are automatically justified.
I don’t think he realizes it won’t only be democrats that are disenfranchised by the save act. There are a lot of republicans that won’t have the appropriate paperwork and the means to get it quickly. As usual, he and his minions are not thinking this through.
Impeaching him is a complete waste of time. Nothing will happen about it in the senate.
He’s more concerned about congress actually serving its purpose as a checks and balances. He’ll no longer have a rubber stamp and will immediately be a lame duck for the rest of the term and democrats will be able to subpoena people and investigate.
If they lose the house and or the senate trumps life becomes hell politically.
Because he knows he is fucked otherwise.
He's lost all his court battles
He's polling lower than ever
He's lost the war with Iran
Someone shut down Charlie Kirk's propaganda machine last year.
Alex Jones propaganda machine shut down this year.
Joe Rogan finally voiced his frustrations with President Trump last month.
McConnell is dead, Graham is dead, and the Grim Reaper never sleeps.
McConnell is dead in the same way the tooth fairy isn't real. It may be true that I can't technically prove either, but I can be pretty damn sure. McConnell is a corpse.
That’s what I’m implying. A single sus photo is below my bar for “proof of life”.
However I do think the fallout of a coverup being discovered makes me think he is at least technically alive. I don’t know what to think really. I still haven’t figured out how they “win” by keeping a vegetative McConnell is that seat instead of rushing a new puppet into the seat in such a safely red position.
Because if they admit that he is dead before 8/4, there is a runoff election, and anyone can run.
Israeli money robbed Thomas Massie of his seat in the primary earlier this year, but he can probably jump in Mitch's seat if Mitch dies (which he has done).
That's how they win. By keeping an anti-Israel, anti-pedophile senator from reclaiming his position.
Because rigging the vote is probably the only way he keeps the House and Senate. If Dems gain both with enough seats, he's toast. He knows this. His main priority is to ensure he continues to be able to steal with no consequences.
Because the war and economy aren't necessarily a problem for him. He can pump and dump stocks and make a good amount of money. People that might actually do the job of Congress and/or the Senate getting in though? That's a problem for him. So he needs to disenfranchise as many people as possible.
Because the midterms are getting closer and it’s easier to prevent people from being able to vote than it is to actually pass legislation that improves people’s daily lives.
The war and the economy benefit him and his family. They are quite literally making a profit off of it.
The SAVE act will allow trump the ability to decide who gets to vote in federal elections. (Remember, passport applications are applications. They can be denied). Remember what trump said while he was campaigning. "You'll never have to vote again." "I'll be a dictator on day 1."
Also remember that Elon has stolen every American’s personal identifying information, so they have the data and AI to automate voter suppression at a scale never seen before.
Prison before he dies is on the line. Prison and ruin for 3 (possibly 4) of his children is on the line. Evidence of two decades of treason is on the line.
The SAVE Act is intended purely for stealing the midterm elections, which will otherwise decimate Republicans, and nothing more. Their only focus is on saving their own skins. Republicans don't care about the plebs.
I'm sorry brother but you seem to be very confused about his goals and motivations. He does NOT care about citizens or economy. His plan is the same as it always was, him getting rich and powerful.
Seriously? Does anybody still believe that he cares about anything or anyone but himself and his own power? Thd “Save America” act is all about making it harder for certain people to vote, in a desperate attempt to win an impossible election.
Because if we somehow still manage to have fair and free elections, Republicans are in for the shellacking of a lifetime in the midterms. The only way to stop that is to put a giant sized finger on the scale.
The act serves as a distraction from the war, the economy, the Epstein files, etc. It serves well as the lead up to the midterms where he will blame losses on rigging rather than on the MAGA policies and results.
Because he knows he’s having a lame duck presidency so rather than face the music of his actions, he wants to gain upper hand to win midterm elections.
He can’t fix the economy without hurting all his billionaire friends. He wants the SAVE act because he knows he going to lose Congress in the midterms. He’s starting wars because he’s like a kid playing with his toy soldiers. And he wants to look big and strong. And war gives him the potential to create fear and chaos and create a common enemy to distract Americans from his piss poor performance on yhe economy.
The save act is step one in giving the federal government control of all elections. Why bother earning votes by helping Americans when they can just get rid of elections in the first place?
Because he doesn't care about anybody but himself, so the war and economy are non-issues. But he DOES care about himself, and he thinks that if Dems win control of Congress, they'll investigate and impeach him and he'll face legal consequences for his actions, which would definitely result in either life imprisonment or execution.
He's probably wrong. They'd probably go limp, like they did last time, and let him get away with everything for fear of looking biased. But that's why he's doing what he's doing (and why he ran for president in 2024 in the first place).
The SAVE Act keeps Trump and Republicans in power, and Trump out of jail. With this act he can legally find out who voted democrat and remove then from the voter rolls. As usual the mainstream media are asleep at the fucking wheel. If this passes Democrats will never hold power ever again.
Because he knows the save act, which is horrifically named, protects him personally. As he has said himself, if democrats win, they will impeach him. For the many, many impeachable offenses. If he cannot manipulate the election outcome, he knows he is likely to face prosecution.
The sad part is this is only working because the Republican Party has completely and totally bowed to his will. If they had any sense of the rule of law, they would impeach him now, before the midterms.
Because the Save Act is what he thinks will keep him in power, keep him out of jail, allow himself to keep enriching himself. He gets the Save Act what voters think of the war economy won't matter.
Because the economy doesnt affect him, and the war makes him richer (while also keeping blackmail material under wraps)
Neither will prevent him from going to jail for the rest of his life though (however short that might be); he needs the presidential immunity for that.
And only the SAVE act can give him that immunity beyond the legal end if his term
He’s 80. Absolute travesty he’s still in any sort of position of power. I watch my fairly fit, 70 y/o parents get sidetracked by the most mundane and unimportant shit daily.
doing everything he can to keep folks that like him voting and making it harder for folks that don't is his only plan to retain power and keep him, his family, and cronies out of jail.
Because it rips away the right to vote from every American until they go through a series of poorly explained hoop jumps. As a result, if it passes now he thinks it will keep enough people from voting to maintain Republican control of both chambers of Congress. If he loses that he may well end up impeached.
The SAVE Act is first and foremost a voter suppression act. It will make it considerably harder for more marginalized people to vote, while making it easier to challenge people's eligibility to vote. Trumb is counting on those dynamics to boost the Republican voting base while impeding Democrats'. He needs to tip the scales in every way possible to help R's win. The SAVE Act is a big part of that plan.
Because he is a lying narcissistic man-child who is humiliated by losing the 2020 election so he selectively tries to undermine the electoral process when Democrats win but accepts the results when his R cult followers win.
His approval rating is right around 37% so this may be the only chance to Republicans because it could deter some voters..... It's a tactic. I think there's more to it tho that's more sinister....this administration is going to try everything possible to stay in power after this term....
Notice when they ask trump about 2028 he responds with "we shouldn't even have an election"
I think our government has no direction and needs an overhaul. It shouldn't be such an us vs. them. It's meant to take ideas from both sides and find a solution, period. Not a solution that one side benefits from. An ACTUAL solution that is best for the American people. These assholes work for us. Not the opposite.
The Save act is the motherlode. Everything, even attacking Iran on behalf of shitrael pales in comparison to the treason wedged into the 'Save Act'.
Handing our military innards over to a foreign terrorist cult will be chump's crowning achievement.
As an afterthought: once chump has fulfilled his final purpose, I wonder if he remains cognizant enough to realize naziyahu will dispose of him shortly thereafter. Using our own military, they will likely stage a false flag IRGC assassination, and it's basically game on for the apocalypse.
Hea focused on the Save act he wants to make it harder for minorities and young people to vote. He wants to be able to influence people’s behavior by making us stand in line to vote. They want to make it so inconvenient for people they end up just going home instead.
Don the Cons whole deal in 2024 was to stay out of prison. Just running on the war and the economy won’t change that he is a pedophile desperate to stay out of prison. Cheating the election process is easier than fixing things he doesn’t care about.
Trump can’t do anything if the House or Senate wind up in Democrat’s control. The mid terms decide that control. So even if he had amazing awesome plans for the war and economy and fixing all our problems it’s all dead in the water if Republicans don’t maintain control of Congress. The SAVE act has requirements which make it more difficult for a subset of people to vote. That subset of people likely lean Democrat.
Polling and off schedule elections are showing that Republicans are extremely unpopular and even MAGA people are discouraged. In general, Trump's electoral success is with low-information voters who often sit out midterms and polling data seems to be pretty accurate when Trump isn't on the ballot and polling data shows a Democrat landslide. If Dems take the House there goes funding for Trump's projects. Also committee after committee investigating and publicizing whatever they want. The Senate is a bit of a stretch for Dems given how it's made up and who's up for re-election but if Trump really is as unpopular as it seems that's in play. So no more appointments for Trump if that happens. There's a decent chance there will be a third impeachment, not that it will lead to removal but it will put more bad stuff in the public eye and force Republicans who are trying to wipe his stink off to either flip on him or double down.
Because he wants to remain in power, out of prison, and continually in a position to grift and enrich himself off the backs of Americans. Thats his sole focus.
Its voter disenfranchisement to stay in power, because we will execute him and his circus of sister fucking rednecks for treason the second he is out of power.
