The Washington Post reported that activists are working with the White House on an executive order to declare a “national emergency” over America’s elections and pave the way for a power grab.
“Pro-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,” reported the Post‘s Isaac Arnsdorf. “President 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.”
Peter Ticktin, a MAGA activist in favor of the executive order, told the Post that “we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes,” and that “the president has to be able to deal with it,” including by banning mail-in ballots and certain voting machines.

If he starts the civil war by ending our vote, do we get to start hitting Ice agents with our cars?
Also make sure to be going 40 or over or they get back up.
Prediction: None of this so called evidence will ever make an appearance in a court room.
Unfortunately we have been boned since the immunity ruling.
By Wikipedias count there are presently 51 on-going national emergencies in USA, 19 of them have been declared by Trump.
The oldest still active one was made by Carter in 1979, it’s a sanction on Iran.
we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes
Of course he is, he benefitted from it. America ain’t coming back until the people take it back, and that’s gonna be done the hard way.
If this happens and civil war doesn’t break out than I fear good people will have lost.
“They say evil wins when good people do nothing. I disagree, it should just be ‘evil wins’.”
So I’m of the opinion that it should be as costly a victory for the bastards as possible.
There won’t be a civil war and the people have already lost. There.
Donald Trump is the national emergency.
Time to organize
The Chinese government hates the US and, if they interfered successfully, would have done so to get Trump into office, since that would cause the most damage.
Huh? It’s our own election system. 2 corrupt parties for a long time. Candidates nobody wants and this is the result
The flood of troll farm misinformation and lies by both China and Russia as well as right wing ownership of MSM all aided in trump’s rise. Yeah, our shitty electoral college that is DEI for mostly empty States handed trump the win.
Own the shit. No one wanted Hillary or Kamala. Presented by corrupt Dems.
Both can be true at the same time. The extreme corruption of both parties because both are beholden to oligarchs are causing frustration, which is being amplified by troll farms.
Sounds about right, there are a lot of pro-trump anti-democrat content circulating in WeChat…
Seems like they are trying to discourage diasporas from voting for democrats
This does concern me frankly. Hopefully its all just his usual limpdick saber rattling. The problem is, if something like this does happen, at this point I don’t trust anybody to stop it. Democrats are too busy playing theater and bending the knee to their corporate overlords to oppose anything Trump does at this point past their usual finger wagging and “almost maybe going to send a sternly worded letter at some point” responses. And if the Supreme Court doesn’t give him the nod to do this he can just, you know, ignore them. Not like he’s faced consequences for that the past… ever.
they succeeded in 2024, with the help elon and the voting machines, DNC is pretty much complicit.
Pretending that Trump didn’t win the election is how you fail to ensure you win the next one, and doom the rest of the world to another MAGA administration.
so it’s been leaked that they’re “working on” an executive order to declare a national emergency?? for the midterms??? you don’t have to “work on” declaring an emergency!!! it either IS an emergency or it ISN’T.
Dear heaven to think how dumb they think everyone is
wait, everyone might actually BE that dumb
You would think… but to the government, “emergency” is just a marketing phrase.
you don’t have to “work on” declaring an emergency
Hey boss, I’m going to be ill a week on Friday.
There’s a lot of evidence to shoddily fabricate.
To me “working on it” implies there are things in motion to manufacture that sense of emergence…
Sitouts still think they did the right thing in 2024. Theres the answer for you.
activists
The Washington Post thinks that traitorous conspiracies on the right are equivalent to protests and demonstrations by other types of “activist?”
The same Washington Post owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos? I’m shocked!
anything to distract from the “distraction esptein files” and to stop it from getting released any furhter.
Oh look, the orange bastard is doing exactly what everybody with a brain knew he was going to do! Too bad 36% of Americans don’t have those. Life must be very difficult for them.
stupid people tend to be happier bc they dont use their little brains to worry or even think about anything beyond their day to day. civil rights erasure? who cares as long as burger hot and beer cold.
Is Media-Ite a credible source?
Pretty much, and the original report was by the Wapo
