@rbreich Don't we all know? ‍️

@rbreich Trump does not care if there’s no one left in the USA, except for his personal allies and white men. The only thing he cares about is his monstrous ego, more billions, more power, more bullying and extortion of other people, corporations and countries. Once media understand Trump has no conscience or morals or principles, and start spreading that message, there may be an end to this.
Too many are still writing of his administration as if the US population mattered to him. It does not.

@rbreich

What does "if Trump allows midterms" mean?
What do you know that I haven't already considered yet?

By my thinking, he can not stop the midterms.
His EO failed and the SAVE Act does not look like it will pass.
Even declaring war won't stop the midterms.
Declaring a national emergency or martial law SHOULD get struck down immediately and our military will not back those maneuvers as they are sworn to the Constitution.

What did I miss in the news?

@rbreich @MrBranch40 The top of your military has been purged of illoyal individuals. Besides he has put unlawfull things into motion every single day. A few of them has been stopped but that has taken almost a year, in almost never ending courtbattles.

But will he also try to stop special elections - which has gone pretty well so far ?
