Political Roundtable / Trump's literacy level« Last post by rainman2 on Today at 12:09:24 AM »Regarding the orange meatball’s claim to have the “highest IQ on Earth” and to know “more about everything than anyone else,” I would like to remind the viewer that he writes at about an average 4th grade literacy level.
I think he is very insecure, because he is smart enough to know that he is dumb - but not smart enough to competently project any pretense of real intelligence (except perhaps to people whose literacy level also hovers somewhere in the elementary school range). In either case, this should stand as a reminder to us all. The guy who brags about how tough he is in the bar is *never* the mostly deadly person in the room. The guy who says he was a stud athlete or a war hero was never either one of those things. Likewise, when a guy tells you how smart he is, he is actually just letting you know that his brain is mediocre at best. I have not yet seen any exceptions to this rule. I now regard it as one of the basic standards when measuring the people whom I meet in business and in pleasure. 4

Political Roundtable / fancy meeting you----« Last post by rainman2 on October 06, 2026, 11:39:58 PM »Trump met with a convicted election tamperer in the Oval Office to discuss midterm "PLANS" — and a Trump ally let it slip on live TV.
Ed Martin, a former Justice Department official, told Real America's Voice that Donald Trump sat down in the Oval Office about two hours earlier with Tina Peters, the former Colorado clerk convicted over a breach of her county's voting equipment. The topic, per Martin: "election integrity," and "the plans." What plans? Martin wouldn't say. But he offered a clue about where this is headed. Congress stalled the SAVE America Act, which would impose new citizenship documentation and ID requirements for federal elections. "If the Congress won't pass the Save America Act, and they won't," Martin said, "then the president's going to have to do what he's going to do, and it is not a local issue when it's national security." That’s not a security issue! It’s an unconstitutional threat! A Trump ally just suggested the president may act alone on elections if Congress won't give him what he wants, weeks before voters go to the polls. Martin even conceded elections are under local control, then argued that "national security" gives Washington a role anyway. His evidence? An August letter from DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin claiming voting machines use parts from China and Russia and are therefore "compromised." But that letter's own review found no voting system had been compromised and no votes had been changed. Mullin used it to tie federal security grants to random manual audits of paper ballots. The company in the room is telling, too. Peters was convicted in 2024 on seven counts, four of them felonies, after prosecutors said she let an unauthorized person access Mesa County's election system while hunting for evidence of 2020 fraud. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis reduced her sentence earlier this year under heavy pressure from Trump. Now she's reportedly advising the president on election policy. Host Eric Bolling then cited Fox News' $787.5 million settlement with Dominion as proof that machines were "compromised." It proves the opposite: Fox paid that sum because it aired false claims about the 2020 election. Martin dismissed the case as "lawfare" and repeated the false claim that no 2020 lawsuits reached the merits. Martin never said what Trump might do. That's the point. A president meeting a convicted election tamperer about secret "plans," while an ally warns he'll go it alone, is exactly the kind of ambiguity that should make all voters nervous. P 8
Political Roundtable / Trump running Paxton's campaign--« Last post by rainman2 on October 06, 2026, 11:36:38 PM »YIKES! A disastrous audio leak torpedoes Ken Paxton’s Senate campaign as he’s caught admitting that his entire campaign is run from D.C. by Trump.
This does NOT fly in Texas… “I’ve never been in a race where I felt less control over the campaign and, like, what issues are going to matter because it’s all coming, you know, from D.C.,” Paxton whined in audio obtained by Politico’s Playbook. “I don’t control message or what we’re doing.” “I can't— I have no, I don't have the ability to change anything,” he went on. “So I have to live with whatever I've got. So it is a challenge and it's, that's what the, hopefully this polling will help us figure out…” “Make sure that we are maximizing every cent so that people understand the difference between him and me,” he added. The “difference” is that Democrat James Talarico is running to represent the people of Texas, not the corrupt, oligarch, pro-pedophile interests of this historically crooked White House. The difference is that Talarico isn’t a serial adulterer who was impeached by his own party for bribery. That would be Ken Paxton. The humiliating recordings — which amount to Paxton admitting that he’s a puppet of the national Republican Party in a state that prizes its independence above all else — were made at a private fundraiser in D.C. This is just the latest embarrassing leak for Paxton as just last month a recording revealed him admitting that Trump’s midterms convention hurt his polling numbers. One person who attended this latest event told Politico that while Paxton avoided explicitly spelling out that Trump and his minions control his campaign, “everybody around him knew what he was talking about.” If this spineless cretin can’t even stand up to Trump while campaigning, imagine how much more craven he’ll be if he gets into office. He’ll serve as a mindless rubberstamp for more war, more Epstein coverups, and more sweetheart deals and crypto scams for Trump and his family. Ken Paxton is bad for America, but he’s even worse for Texas! 9

Political Roundtable / Canceling 2026 midterms---« Last post by rainman2 on October 06, 2026, 10:39:08 PM »Brent Molnar: A Voice of Reason
Canceling the Election Is a Trap Trump Cannot Win I’ve been working on this one for a while. Hopefully it answers some questions. If the Trump regime issues an executive decree ordering states to cancel, postpone, or suspend an American federal election, we need to be ruthlessly clear about what happens the following morning. This is the institutional equivalent of detonating a bomb at the bedrock of the republic. The moment a president declares that citizens cannot vote, the American system violently fragments into an immediate, uncontainable collapse of constitutional order. The first domino to fall is the illusion of federal authority. The United States maintains fifty separate, state-run systems governed by the Elections Clause of the Constitution. A president possesses zero constitutional or statutory authority to alter a federal vote under the Insurrection Act, the National Emergencies Act, or the pretext of a foreign bioweapon. The second an executive order lands on state desks, the country splits in two: blue and purple states will reject the decree and keep polls open, while cooperative red governors will shutter polling sites, impound ballot machines, and deploy state troopers to lock out voters. The legal system will suffer immediate whiplash. Within minutes, civil rights organizations, election boards, and disenfranchised citizens will flood courts with emergency petitions for injunctions. In state after state, judges will issue orders declaring the cancellations unconstitutional and commanding local clerks to administer the vote. When compliant governors defy those court mandates, the judiciary reaches its operational limits, leaving armed state police standing between citizens and the ballot box while turning local election workers into political hostages. Then comes the constitutional trapdoor that compliant states step into: legislative suicide. Governors who cancel congressional elections assume they are preserving power, but the Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution operates with mechanical finality. It dictates that the terms of all 435 members of the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate expire automatically at noon on January 3. If red states refuse to vote, their seats sit empty. The states that held their elections will send certified delegations to the Capitol to form a rump Congress where the seated members hold commanding supermajorities, handing full control of taxation, spending, and impeachment to the opposition faction. Any attempt by partisan holdovers to physically block the newly elected Congress from taking power collides with basic legislative mechanics. Under the Twentieth Amendment, the term of every sitting Representative, including the Speaker of the House, expires automatically at noon on January 3. An outgoing Speaker lacks authority to lock the chamber doors because an outgoing Speaker holds no public office. Procedural authority falls solely to the nonpartisan Clerk of the House, whose statutory duty is to call the roll of certified winners. Supreme Court precedent in Powell v. McCormack explicitly requires seating any member holding certified state credentials who meets constitutional qualifications. The members present on the floor will elect their own presiding officer, swear themselves in, and assume the full legislative authority of the federal government. The economic catastrophe will unleash within hours. The global supremacy of the U.S. dollar rests on institutional predictability and the peaceful transfer of power. If global markets realize that the American electoral process has broken down into authoritarian decree, Wall Street will crater. Credit rating agencies will immediately downgrade U.S. sovereign debt to junk status. Foreign central banks will dump Treasury bonds, triggering a currency freefall and an inflationary panic that wipes out domestic capital. The business community will recognize that an administration willing to cancel the vote will readily nullify property rights, contracts, and regulatory protections. The streets will erupt. Disenfranchising tens of millions of citizens by executive fiat will provoke the largest civil unrest in modern history. Mass strikes will paralyze supply chains, transit networks, and ports. When millions of people lose their peaceful mechanism for redress, the social contract dissolves. Cities will face general strikes, state capitals will operate under indefinite curfews, and the executive will deploy federalized National Guard or active-duty troops onto American streets to preserve public order, turning the military against the civilian population. Historically, canceling elections outright backfires by stripping regimes of international recognition, inviting devastating sanctions, and provoking general strikes. Modern autocrats like Viktor Orbán, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Vladimir Putin practice competitive authoritarianism: keeping elections operational while weaponizing state media, redrawing legislative districts, disqualifying opposition candidates, and tilting administrative rules to guarantee victory. Leaders succeed in stopping elections solely by achieving complete capture of the military and police while operating without decentralized counter-institutions. In a federalist system with divided powers, an executive attempting to stop the vote merely isolates their own faction while the remaining machinery continues running independently. Trump faces a fixed constitutional clock, and his team recognizes that canceling the vote leads to structural failure. The strategy has shifted from administrative suppression to visible panic, dangling $500 rebate checks and campaign promises of $5,000 payouts to keep voters on board. Cash promises offer temporary distraction, but the legal and procedural machinery of the vote remains absolute. |
