Open Thread | Just A Reminder About The SAVE ACT

While the true honest voter suppression wrapped up in Voter ID requirements is real…

The true goal of THE SAVE ACT

Is to fundamentally alter our Election system.

Our Election System, by design in the Constitution, was one based on a DE-CENTRALIZED system, with elections being run and controlled by THE STATES.

The SAVE ACT would FEDERALIZE OUR ELECTION SYSTEMS

The Voter ID portion is the nice shiny object that’s simple to try and sell, as the GOP is lying about it.

Explaining the ramifications of a FEDERAL TAKEOVER of Elections, is complicated, and would actually mean that the MSM would have to do some actual work.

But, that’s what the GOP is attempting to do. FEDERALIZE our elections, and make State Election Boards nothing more than rubberstamps.

Yes, it’s true, that the Voter ID portion has the potential to disenfranchise MILLIONS of voters. But, taking control of Elections on a FEDERAL level is the end goal of the GOP.

And, but, another reason to pick up the phone and tell your Senator to VOTE NO.

Trump on Democratic opposition to the SAVE America Act: "They know if we get this, they probably won't win an election for 50 years, maybe longer"

Trump’s new plan to end the DHS shutdown is to combine a full funding plan (unchanged), which already can’t pass without Democrats, with the SAVE America Act, which already can’t pass without Democrats.No changes to either bills. Just take two bills that currently cannot pass and put them together

    The WSJ Editorial Page has been insane since REAGAN was elected.

    WSJ op-ed calls for boots on the ground in Iran, frames the consequences of backing down in semi-apocalyptic terms.

    there is a concerted media campaign right now to pressure Dems to capitulate on DHS funding, and they are trying to push the narrative that the TSA shutdown is somehow Dems’ responsibility. The reality is the Dems have been trying to keep TSA funded the entire time.

    #Project2025 literally outlines a plan to privatize TSA. But they can’t do that while TSA is unionized. Defund DHS → TSA agents miss paychecks → people quit → airports spiral → step in with “emergency” fixes → suddenly ICE shows up in airports as the privatized “solution”

    TSA officers do not “guard exits”
    They operate X-ray machines.
    They interpret threat imagery.
    They run explosive trace detection.
    They manage prohibited items.
    They are federally certified after months of training.

    Tom Homan thinks it’s an exit guard job.

    Republicans want the court to ban states from accepting mail ballots that arrive after election day, something that 14 states allow. Doing so could make it much harder for voters to use mail voting. http://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

    Trump just raged at our NATO allies for refusing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bail him out of the fiasco he created. He threatened to withdraw from NATO with childish insults.

    This is best seen as an admission of serious political weakness. 1/

    TRUMP: Yeah. That’s why the Democrats are going crazy. ICE loves it because they’re able to now arrest illegals as they come into the country. It’s very fertile territory.
