Well, that's obvious. He keeps telling people they "won't need to vote anymore".
Like you, I wouldn't mind. And I agree that most of the military would support the constitution.
But you know how it is: when a dictator comes to town, he's usually a colonel, not a general.

CONGRESSMAN ANTHONY DβESPOSITO INTRODUCES RESOLUTION TO EXPEL CONGRESSMAN GEORGE SANTOS FROM CONGRESS
https://desposito.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-anthony-desposito-introduces-resolution-expel-congressman-george
Mark Robinson Is the Perfect 2024 Republican Candidate
This guy fell out of the wackadoo tree and hit every damn branch on the way down.
By Charles P. PiercePublished: Sep 23, 2024 10:18 AM EDT
I have a modest proposal to bring before the country. It is my considered opinion that weβd all be much better off if the Republicans were to stop inflicting candidates on the rest of us who seem to have been recruited from the nuthouse.
Our latest example is Mark Robinson, the GOP lieutenant governor of the newly insane state of North Carolina who is currently the Republican candidate for the top job. Robinson fell out of the wackadoo tree and hit every damn branch on the way down.
By the way, that was apparent even before this week, when the trolley went off the track for good. From The New York Times:
Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson of North Carolina, the Republican nominee for governor with a long history of inflammatory and offensive remarks in the battleground state, on Thursday vowed to stay in the race as CNN reported that he had once called himself a βblack NAZI!β and defended slavery on a pornographic forum.
In an 82-second video released before the CNN article had published, Mr. Robinson sought to undercut the report, which unearthed old comments that he had reportedly made on βNude Africa,β a pornographic site with a message board. Mr. Robinson, a social conservative who has been a strident opponent of transgender rights, also posted about how he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, according to CNN, describing himself as a βpervβ who liked βtranny on girl porn.β
This is not the kind of lede that any consultant wants to see written about his candidate. That is especially true when the candidate in question has already established his high-wingnut bona fides by doing things like bad-mouthing the survivors of the Parkland school shooting and confessing to being, to be generous, at least Hitler-curious. The CNN story in question is insanely detailed and the details areβ¦well, insane.
Yet privately under the username minisoldr on Nude Africa, Robinson graphically described his own sexual arousal as an adult from the memory of secretly βpeepingβ on women in public gym showers as a 14-year-old. Robinson recounted the story as a memory he said he still fantasized about.
None of this prevented the former president* from calling Robinson βMartin Luther King on steroids.β CNN explains:
Robinson, who would become North Carolinaβs first Black governor if elected, also repeatedly maligned civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., attacking him in such intense terms that a user accused him of being a white supremacist. βGet that f*cking commie bastard off the National Mall!β Robinson wrote about the dedication of the memorial to King in Washington, DC, by then-President Barack Obama. βIβm not in the KKK. They donβt let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!β Robinson responded.
Robinsonβs unique choice of language further links him to the βminisoldrβ alias on the pornographic forums. Uncommon phrases such as βgag a maggot,β βdunder head,β βI donβt give a frogs a**,β and βI donβt give two shakes of itβ were used both by minisoldr on Nude Africa and by Robinson on his personal Facebook page.
Look, I happen to live in a state severely lacking in crazy under the color of law. Here in the Commonwealth (God save it!), our pols are occasionally crooked, and occasionally stupid, and even, very occasionally, Republicans. But even our Republicans generally color inside the lines.
I mean, Mitt Romney was our governor, for pityβs sake. He was shifty, and he doesnβt have the intellectual honesty God gave a ferret, but there was a certain comfort in going to bed at night knowing that you werenβt going to wake up to a story about Willard surfing around a website called Nude Mormon.
But the Republican insistence on nominating crazy people elsewhere affects us all. If you nominate and elect Tommy Tuberville to the United States Senate, we all have to pay a price. If you allow rancid weeds like Matt Gaetz and Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene to grow at your grassroots, cut them off before I have to put up with them.
I remember when it looked like Nevada was going to inflict Sharron (The Chicken Lady) Angle and Maryland was going to hand us the famous non-witch Christine OβDonnell, and I thought that truly was one step beyond. Turns out there is no Beyond. Mark Robinson is proof of that. He should stay on the ballot. He is the perfect GOP candidate for 2024.
This is entirely on the Republicans. Itβs up to them to shut down the asylum. Itβs up to them to pull up the drawbridge at the doors of Bedlam. The Democratic partyβs job is to beat the crazy people, over and over again, until Being Nuts is no longer a viable political strategy in this country. As I said, Iβm willing to tolerate a certain amount of crookedness and a certain amount of political duplicity. Iβll even celebrate a certain amount of chicanery, as long as it is well wrought and does no lasting damage. Those are the things that leaven the bread of self-government.
Another one....

MAGA Sheriff's Post About Harris Yard Signs Gets Department Booted From Election Duties

This is big. I'll throw Taylor Swift into this mix.
Something like over 400,000 new people registered to vote after Taylor's endorsement. Of course none of those people have been polled, so any close poll they post is utter garbage.
Four reasons why it is MORE likely that Harris voters will be underestimated in this election
Trump maxxed out his support from 'hidden voters' in 2020, surpassing 2016, but I don't believe there's any way he can pull that trick one more time, especially with the way everything has been going for him. He's shedding support rather than adding it.
Instead, I think the polls are under-counting Harris supporters this time, while pollsters have tried to adjust to account for those 'hidden Trump voters' of 2016 and 2020 by inflating the presumed 'Trump vote'. I believe the pollsters will dramatically underestimate support for the Democratic ticket.
Reasons:
#1 Democrats had little in-person ground game in 2020 because of COVID, while the Republicans DID work door-to-door-- and I believe that factor alone accounted for much of Biden's under-performance vs. his polling. THIS year, it's the OPPOSITE-- Democrats have the ground game, while the GOP is relying on outside groups to do their canvassing for them--- people whom leading Republicans are now fretting about, because they have little evidence that the job is being done.
#2 DOBBS DOBBS DOBBS!!! Women aren't forgetting it, and Kamala Harris is doing everything she can to remind them about it. Democrats have been over-performing their polls in elections ever since, because women outnumber men, they are pissed, and they are VOTING for Democrats!!! Special elections, which have been shown to be predictive of later presidential election results, have all been going in our party's favor, with our candidates out-performing their polls by an average of four percent, and sometimes as much as eight percent! (THERE's your "hidden voters"!)
#3 New voter registration among young people and young women has been spiking in excitement over the Harris candidacy, and we now have the "voter enthusiasm" advantage over the Trump voters. This is big. I'll throw Taylor Swift into this mix.
#4 The endless stream of Republicans endorsing the Harris-Walz ticket and speaking out against Trump grows bigger by the day-- and is giving disgruntled Republicans "cover" to vote against Trump. We didn't have that in 2020 except for a small handful, but now it is a river demonstrating how Trump is losing support from members of his own party.
My conclusion:
There isn't going to BE any "overstatement" of Harris support by pollsters prior to this election, and I believe I have just shown FOUR BIG REASONS why it is more likely to be support for Harris which will be underestimated in this election.
It will all come down to GOTV in the end, of course,
but in 2024, we are NOT
"sailing against the wind" !!!!
All the wind is at our back!

Mike Johnson Nears a Deal With Dems in Last-Ditch Bid to Avoid Shutdown
TRY TRY AGAIN
The House speaker will try again to avert a government shutdown, this time with a βbare-bonesβ continuing resolution.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly secured a tentative agreement with his Democratic colleagues in both chambers of Congress to avert a rapidly approaching government shutdown.
The development comes less than a week after defections in his own party defeated the speakerβs attempt to pass a spending bill paired with extra legislation prohibiting non-citizens from voting.
The new spending bill will be βa very narrow, bare-bones CR including only the extensions that are absolutely necessary,β Johnson said in a letter to colleagues on Sunday. He brokered the deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Democrats, according to The Washington Post.
Congress has until Sept. 30 to fund the government before facing a shutdown.
Johnson previously tried to pass a spending bill with the SAVE Act attachedβa Trump-endorsed bill that would ban states from registering non-citizens as voters. Fourteen Republicans joined Democrats to defeat the bill last week.
βSince we fell a bit short of the goal line, an alternative plan is now required,β Johnson wrote in a letter on Sunday. βThe feedback and ideas from everyone have been very helpful, and next week the House will take the initiative and pass a clean, three-month CR to prevent the Senate from jamming us with a bill loaded with billions in new spending and unrelated provisions.β
The new bill would fund the government through Dec. 20. It also includes an additional $231 million in funding for the Secret Service to βcarry out protective operations, including activities related to National Special Security Events and the 2024 Presidential Campaign.β
Johnson admitted the new bill was βnot the solution any of us prefer,β but said funding the government was necessary so close to the election.
βAs history has taught and current polling affirms, shutting the government down less than 40 days from a fateful election would be an act of political malpractice,β Johnson wrote, citing a survey that found a majority of voters, including moderates and swing voters, oppose a shutdown.
Schumer said in a statement Sunday that he was hopeful that both sides would be able to come together by the end of the week to pass Johnsonβs billβif the normally disjointed House Republican caucus continues to cooperate.
βIf both sides continue to work in good faith, I am hopeful that we can wrap up work on the CR this week, well before the September 30 deadline,β Schumer said in a statement. βThe key to finishing our work this week will be bipartisan cooperation, in both chambers.β
In a statement released on Sunday evening, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) also offered light praise of the new legislation, which the congressman called βdevoid of any partisan, right-wing policy changes that House Republicans inappropriately attempted to jam into the appropriations legislation.β
He added that his Democratic colleagues would βcollectively evaluate the spending legislation in its entirety.β

Burns also remarks on how the Republican Party has βmorphedβ into an βincredibly dangerousβ group that needs to be reformed. βItβs going to be difficult for the Republican Party to figure out a way to escape the specific gravity of the darkness that engulfs it.β

Melania Trump promotes new memoir by bragging about 'evisceration' of Kennedy rose garden
This lady was a sex worker/model with no sense of taste or style. This person destroyed a historic landmark and converted Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden to a putting green. This person is now bragging about this act to promote a book
https://www.rawstory.com/melania-trump-rose-garden-stories/
Among the controversies during Donald Trump's administration was the destruction of first lady Jacqueline Kennedy's rose garden just outside the Oval Office. Now Melania Trump is promoting her new book with a video bragging about removing it.....
According to Mrs. Trump, she felt a βdeep responsibilityβ with the White House landscaping and hoped to respect the stamp from all first ladies. The preservation however, was a complete elimination, leaving Americans aghast and claiming, "God this sucks."
βWhen the committee for the preservation of the White House asked me to renovate the Rose Garden I felt a deep responsibility to respect tradition and to preserve its grandeur for future generations,β Mrs. Trump says in the commentary. βIn my book, I share the story of this journey, how my team and I worked to safeguard this piece of our history.β
At the time, Trump pulled out all of the multi-colored roses, flowering trees and tulips that served as a backdrop of announcements and press conference by presidents for decades. Americans took to social media disgusted with the move.
Historian Michael Beschloss called it an "evisceration." All of the roses were removed and replace with box hedges trimmed in rounded shapes and in a zig-zag pattern along the side beds. Between the hedges were all white flowers.
Mrs. Trump was criticized by one MSNBC panel as making it look like "The Beverly Hillbillies." She complained in press interviews for the "damage," but it was met by the public with more insults from critics claiming she made it look like "a cheap golf club." She was accused of "arranging the flowers on the Titanic."
