Fewer than one in three U.S. adult citizens voted for Trump in 2024.
About 70% didn't vote or voted for someone else.
Russiaโs Central Election Commission oversees vote counting and election certification.
It seems to be working out pretty well for Putin.
About a year ago, Trump slapped tariffs on an island inhabited only by penguins. We should probably check in on them to make sure theyโre OK.

- Children may be held by CBP, ICE, or ORR.
- Each agency keeps separate records.
- Data is often delayed or incomplete.
No single realโtime count of children exists.
Thatโs coercive compliance...
Even if you donโt expect to be targeted, the possibility is enough to change your behavior.
It's a fear-based system: they donโt need to detain everyone, just enough people that everyone else adjusts.
It's a sign of authoritarianism, not Freedom, not Liberty.
When politicians face a groundswell against them, seizing control of the voting process itself is the only sure way to avoid a loss.

- modify timelines and administrative rules
- adjust voting procedures
- set national standards
Like Tariffs, the president has no inherent election authority; all power comes from Congress.
The most serious threat to our democracy is a president manufacturing an emergency to seize delegated control over state voting systems and silence his opposition.
Tactically that's best done, while a different emergency is manufactured as a distraction.
A realโestate mind sees the Constitution like zoning: the rules matter, but the real action is in how power bends them.

03.02.2026 13:42 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0If the federal government acted as the Jim Crow actor, Congress would use its Elections Clause power to impose restrictive national rules that states couldnโt escape.
Congress would source of the barriers.
Jim Crow voting laws were harsh tools to block Black political power.
States used poll taxes, literacy tests, grandfather clauses, whitesโonly primaries, and registration traps to shrink the electorate.
These rules let local officials deny ballots almost at will.
Jim Crow was named after a racist blackface stage character from the 1800s.
The name became shorthand for the segregation laws that followed because the character embodied the same demeaning stereotypes those laws enforced.
Congressโs power to override state election rules was weaponized during Jim Crow, but in a very specific way.
Congress refused to use that power to stop states from suppressing voters.
The Constitution lets states run federal elections, but Congress can โmake or alterโ those rules.
That override power can be exploited by bad actors to impose restrictive national standards, shorten timelines, limit mail or early voting, tilt oversight, or reshape procedures for partisan gain.
A president stepping into criminal investigations to chase a personal grudge doesnโt violate a specific constitutional clause, but it still damages the system of checks and balances meant to stop any president from weaponizing government power.

MTG now recognizes that she was exploited by a malignant narcissist who abandoned her once her utility ran outโa textbook cycle sheโd been warned about repeatedly.
She's proven her bad judgement. Leaders steer us around problems, not into them.
