President Donald Trump on Wednesday cancelled plans to sign bipartisan housing legislation in a fit of pique over Republican senators’ refusal to blow up their chamber’s rules to pass his voter ID bill.
The president had been set to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act in a rare Capitol signing ceremony at noon on Wednesday before attending a Senate Republican Steering Committee lunch.
But with less than an hour remaining until he was scheduled to leave the White House, he took to Truth Social to announce that the ceremony was “hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT.”
Wroth mentioning: the housing bill is veto-proof.
He can try, but elections are a state level thing that he can’t stop. If red states want to abstain, more power to them, but there will be lawsuits, and the citizens will win. Maybe some hopium in there, but most of this stuff is pretty clear cut, and there have been a lot of judges siding against Trump recently, so there’s strong precedent.
Also, god willing, he will be fucking dead by then.
This is wildly naive. It’s unlikely to be Trump’s plan. It’ll be plans made by the billionaire puppeteers of this administration. The ones who bought Dominion and the other major electronic voting machine companies. Prepare for a multipronged offensive by billionaires making all or nothing bets.
My response was only directed and the comment I responded too. I did not include the other factors like fucking with the machines or voter suppression, very real concerns. It was only about Trump blocking an election.
I do agree with your assessment on the matter though.
Yep. This is why Trump is dicking with the post office, which is federal.
Also, if only red states abstain from the elections, then only their representatives and senators will be bogged down in lawsuits. Not a great way to retain control of the chambers.
So far.
Also, I hope you’re right.
