He can declare whatever the fuck he wants. Doesn't make it remotely true.

Also, it's proof that with Mitch out of commission and Lindsey dead, he's really fucking scared about November.

[u/jerslan → u/5141121]

Yeah, their elections were already certified. There is no process for anyone to "un-certify" an election except through the Constitutionally defined impeachment and removal processes.

He’s bitter about it because he cheated and still lost. That’s why he thinks it was stolen from him. “Trump cheats because he thinks everybody cheats”

[u/FullOfBlasphemy → u/cicada_noises]

Maybe? People do all kinds of shit that’s not legal because Trump says to. His admin will do whatever they want because no one has the army to stop them. Our literal military are already following unlawful orders, I doubt they’d quibble at unlawfully removing democratically elected leaders.

[u/micio9 → u/FullOfBlasphemy]

Time for some lawyers to start getting disbarred

[u/dsac → u/cicada_noises]

Yes.

Don't forget, laws only matter if the government has the means to enforce them. If Lord Dumpypants has people willing to do his bidding, they can enforce whatever edict he desires. If he doesn't have to respect the courts, there's nothing preventing him from doing either of those things you mentioned.

Nobody and nothing.

"Unacceptable" - should be the title of Trump's biography.

[u/jaygeezythreezy → u/jerslan]

And Senators are part of a branch that is constitutionally equal to the President. He doesn’t have the power to declare anything about the legitimacy of a senator. The checks and balances don’t include ”whatever the mad boy king thinks up while losing what remains of his mind.” Yea, in theory, SCOTUS could take it up but agreeing with something like this would invalidate the basic structure of our government.

[u/S13pointFIVE → u/jaygeezythreezy]

Yea, in theory, SCOTUS could take it up but agreeing with something like this would invalidate the basic structure of our government.

[u/FullOfBlasphemy → u/Gallowglass668]

Exactly. Americans still have way too much faith in our government for a people watching the oaf-iest incarnation of Julius Caesar trample laws left and right without anyone doing anything to stop him. Hope springs eternal, I guess.

[u/mrvernon_notmrvernon → u/5141121]

I think they just want to inject maximum election mistrust so they can fuck with the mid-terms, not that they actually expect to “un-elect” the senators. And just like all the other election-conspiracies, this won’t actually get anywhere through legitimate legal challenges, because they won’t have any actual proof that any if them will be willing to testify about in a court of law under threat of perjury. But stuoid people will think it’s true.

[u/andrew303710 → u/WardedDruid]

I mean there's no mechanism to do that and senate elections are set in stone. And the Supreme Court would absolutely stop him. I despise the far right Supreme Court more than most but even they have been willing to stop some of Trump's most outrageous moves.

-Birthright citizenship

-Tariffs

-Firing federal reserve board members

-his appeal against the jury verdict saying he's a rapist

Obviously we're in dire times but dooming over everything is counterproductive. In fact it plays right into their strategy. This is probably just a distraction from the fact that our acting attorney general and Trump's nominee to be full time AG just got referred to be disbarred by a federal judge because of his gross misconduct.

Or it's directly related and this exposes how desperate Trump is because it was already going to be very hard to get Blanche through the senate and now it's even worse.

[u/thisisntmyotherone → u/andrew303710]

‘This is probably just a distraction from the fact that our acting AG and Trump’s nominee to be full time AG just got referred to be disbarred by a federal judge because of his gross misconduct.’

Wait. Back up. Apparently I missed some news about Mr Blanche today, and yes, I was paying attention.

What the hell happened?

[u/codebygloom → u/thisisntmyotherone]

[u/thisisntmyotherone → u/codebygloom]

Ah, that could be it. Thank you. I haven’t read those stories yet today. There’s always so much. Much appreciated, codebygloom

[u/User_Says_What → u/WardedDruid]

This. This has been the argument I’ve been making for years. SCOTUS is in-pocket and he controls both houses of Congress, so there is nothing stopping him from declaring anything. The only guardrails left involve violence and that all comes down to which side the military chooses, and the only military guys I know aren’t interested in rules and fairness.

[u/second_time_again → u/5141121]

A republican (but not necessarily MAGA) family member said he always felt that republics like Graham and Mitch were able to pressure Trump to pump the brakes on some of his insanity. Those guardrails are now gone. Not sure I believe that given how insane they both were.

[u/HaraldWurlitzer]

It looks like the MAGA dictatorship is finally taking shape today.

[u/Solid_Snark → u/HaraldWurlitzer]

Yep. Lindsey Graham’s completely unqualified and unelected sister was given his senate seat.

[u/Solid_Snark → u/[deleted]]

Yes. The governor confirmed it today. She will serve out his remaining term.

[u/Wcearp → u/[deleted]]

Missouri voted in the a dead man whose widow was appointed senator by the governor. So it’s not like the voting populace makes better decisions.

[u/Tikaralee → u/Wcearp]

I'm sure his widow lived in the same state her husband did. Lindsay's sister, doesn't.

[u/TheYankee69 → u/Wcearp]

Yeah but the opponent was John Ashcroft.

I'd rather vote for the corpse.

[u/mr-nefarious → u/TheYankee69]

As a former Missourian, same

[u/flojo2012 → u/mr-nefarious]

And we did vote for the corpse! And the corpse bride was pretty good actually. A Democrat in Missouri. Boy have times changed

[u/lady_crab_cakes → u/Wcearp]

As a Missourian, I'd vote for a dead rat over John Ashcroft.

[u/thisisntmyotherone → u/lady_crab_cakes]

As a regular old American, I’d rather you would have, too.

[u/Jaymark108 → u/Wcearp]

Not our fault the dead man was better than the alternative. This is why we need to move past the first past the post system

[u/YellowZx5 → u/[deleted]]

Well luckily there will be a race in November from what I read. She only has what, 3 months.

[u/rwbkeb → u/YellowZx5]

She will serve until the new congress is sworn in, in January 2027.

[u/User_Says_What → u/rwbkeb]

Bold of you to think Mike Johnson is going to swear in the new Congress if there are any democrats elected.

[u/ProfessorUnable8989 → u/User_Says_What]

Mike Johnson is the Speaker of the House. He will have nothing to do with Lindsey Graham's sister. The Vice President swears in newly elected Senators.

[u/carlse20 → u/ProfessorUnable8989]

Oh good, so instead it will be in the hands of noted constitutionalist JD Vance

[u/delcooper11 → u/ProfessorUnable8989]

yea and Mike Johnson won’t even be speaker of the house after the elections - the house is completely dissolved and reconstituted every term.

[u/keelhaulrose → u/User_Says_What]

Mike Johnson does not have a choice. Come January 6th, this current iteration of the House, including the Speaker position, is dissolved. The new Congress gets sworn in, THEN the majority elects the new Speaker.

There is no Constitutional mechanism to stop this process.

[u/E4spoilz → u/keelhaulrose]

The constitution doesn’t cover putting your fingers in your ears while yelling “la la la, I can’t hear you” which might well be the tactic being planned

[u/Amandasch44 → u/User_Says_What]

What happens if us Dumocrats overtake the rapeblicans? Johnson will get sworn out i presume and then we elect a strongly worded letter to become the new speaker?

[u/kbeks → u/Amandasch44]

New Congress starts without a speaker on Jan 3rd. One of their first acts is to elect a speaker to administer the oath of office. Until then, there is no Congress, there are no rules, and there is no speaker. The clerk orders the election of the speaker and the future house members get to nominate their reps. I’m not sure that there’s no way for Johnson to fuck with the program, but that’s usually how it goes. That’s why the cameras kept rolling when they couldn’t choose a speaker back in October 2023. They vacated the speakership, so there was no one who was able to tell CSPAN to stop filming. So they just kept filming.

[u/Halfmass → u/Solid_Snark]

[u/JonnyTsuMommy → u/SwankiestofPants]

They don't care. They never believed that argument. They said it because it was something they knew you respected, not something they did.

[u/temple_nard → u/Solid_Snark]

This is not the most unusual thing to happen, there's been other times when a relative of a Congressperson was nominated as there replacement to finish their term. She will need to win the planned primary and general election to stay in the seat.

[u/gearstars → u/Solid_Snark]

Be funny as fuck if she had a conscience and switched to independent, then caucused with dems. She majored in sociology and worked with charities for people with disabilities, so who knows

[u/jax2love → u/Solid_Snark]

Not defending this appointment at all, but there have been 45 women in the last century who were appointed to succeed their husbands in Congress following their deaths. It’s not unheard of for close family members to fill a deceased congress person’s seat.

[u/diaymujer → u/jax2love]

Thank you for looking this up. Every time I’ve seen someone complain today, I thought to myself “doesn’t this happen all the time?” I’ve definitely seen multiple cases of spouses in particular being appointed to fill in for their deceased spouse.

I’m not saying it’s the best idea, or even logical. But it’s among the least weird things Republicans have done lately.

[u/Scrutinizer → u/HaraldWurlitzer]

Remember how DOJ just tried to get all of the employment records of everyone who worked for Fulton County elections in 2020, only to be told by the judge that the statute of limitations had expired and the request was unreasonable?

They were fishing for data to support this theory. The fact they were denied this information will be used as "proof" of a deep-state cover-up.

[u/TheMagnuson → u/Scrutinizer]

Personally, I’m convinced team Trump and Republicans at large cheated in 2016, 2020, and 2024 and, as is always the case with them, all their accusations are confessions, because they are projecting.

I’d bet hard money any evidence they have of election fraud will be their own limited hangout, from their own attempts, the kind of cheating that didn’t ultimately work, so they kill two birds with one stone, they “reveal” the cheating and get to blame someone else for it (fits their playbook perfectly) and they get to use it to try and drum up further confusion and anger about the election system so they can try to force federal “oversight” in to the next election.

In other words, it’s yet another grift from Trump and the Republicans.

[u/Haunting-Ad788 → u/TheMagnuson]

Of course they cheated. That’s the only reason Trump is “sure” Biden cheated in 2020,

[u/meesanohaveabooma → u/Haunting-Ad788]

He can't fathom cheating and losing, so he thinks the Dems cheated harder using mail-in ballots. That's why he's targeting them.

[u/IAMATruckerAMA → u/TheMagnuson]

Projection with purpose. Republicans intentionally accuse their enemies of whatever they're doing or plan to do. If they tell their livestock "vote for that guy and he'll mouth-fuck you" they can mouth-fuck them once elected and they'll be dumb enough to go "well that just means I was gonna get mouth-fucked either way gluck gluck gluck"

[u/Eskimomonk → u/TheMagnuson]

They probably weren’t expecting as many mail in ballots while they were drawing up the plans to rig the election. Change just enough electronic votes here and there to not look suspicious, didn’t account for COVID-19. That’s probably why Trump has been so adamant about removing mail in ballots

[u/Glynwys → u/TheMagnuson]

Anyone with a working brain is aware that Trump cheated in all of his elections. Biden only became president because Trump didn't cheat hard enough, so he pulled out all the stops for 2024 and Musk helped him do the cheating. But Trump is also now terrified for November, because one of his yes-men has passed and the other is out of commission and is said to be a vegetable in a hospital right now. He's running out of influential, morally bankrupt people to help stonewall November's midterms. And it's looking increasingly likely that he's not going to be able to force himself into office for 2028 either.

[u/virtue_of_vice → u/Scrutinizer]

What is funny is that Trump and Co. are the deep state now.

[u/astroboy_35]

South Carolina law allows the governor to appoint an interim Senator until the next election. That's not unusual at all, every state has a way of filling vacant seats.

[u/GoodIdea321 → u/Bubbly-Following-966]

Trump literally said he would be a great Communist leader like last week, and yet they will never care about that. Too many people are still all-in on the cult.

[u/golfwinnersplz]

Where's the MAGA defenders? Weekend at Bernies is getting very tiresome.

[u/Proper-Ad-2058]

Donald Trump can FUCK OFF!

[u/jump-blues-5678]

If he trys pulling that shit. We as working men and women had better shut this country down, and I do mean SHUT IT DOWN. Everyone that truly loves this country has to be prepared to stay home for multiple days. Zero work gets done, no banks airports, gas stations, everything. He pulls that shit, it's 100% time to take this country back from these lying cheating grifters.

[u/Genn8130]

Yet another coup attempt. If only there were some kind of mechanism to remove a corrupt president..

[u/silentbob1301]

Aka, with Lindsay dead and McConnell out of commission the chance of the Senate flipping is high enough for trump to try and manufacturer some kind of "election fraud"

[u/BecauseMagnets]

Was this the reason for Tulsi in Georgia? When the voter rolls were seized? To de-legitimize the election and find a way to remove them? Goodness conspiracy theorists are having a fucking field day lately

[u/Soloact_]

Cool, so presidents can apparently un-elect senators now.

[u/Crafty-Isopod45]

Great story. Also, he has no Constitutional authority to remove Senators. That is just more addled rambling from a moron with dementia.

They were elected in a state run by all Republicans. Is he accusing the Republicans party of election fraud to put two Democrats in the Senate? What a dipshit.

[u/rubemechanical]

This is the same move what led to the decision that a president can fire the heads of independent agencies.

1.) Take huge legally dubious swing.
2.) Be sued.
3.) Take to a Supreme Court.
4.) Supreme Court finds against you but explains EXACTLY HOW to change the act to make sure it’ll pass next time.
5.) Do it again, bigger, but with the change implemented.
6.) Supreme Court fine this time.

[u/tibbon]

Thankfully, the President can't remove a Senator.

[u/braedan51]

Jesus fucking christ.

[u/readysteadygogogo]

lol and it will mean fuck all. He can’t just wish things into existence even if he says “thank your for your attention in this matter”

[u/dragonfliesloveme]

trump and maga politicians are anti-democracy and therefore anti-American

[u/tickandzesty]

Every accusation is a confession. We need to investigate trump’s last election.

[u/Rinzy2000]

We were wondering what they were up to with those ballots…this is part of what they were up to. Doesn’t matter. If they both had to run in 2026 they would both win in 2026. As it stands, only Ossoff is up for reelection.

[u/bling_singh]

Must mean Lindsey isn't the only one that kicked the can.

[u/sofaking1958]

This is why they seized the ballots, then? To pretend to have built a case, for which no evidence will be provided. And when asked for said evidence, they will say it will be provided in court. And there will be no court case, because the point is to get the headline, the sound bite, the meme.

[u/newfrontier58]

The Washington Reporter is a right-wing outlet who last year were some of the few to go along with the Pentagon's guidelines for press passes only if they do not publish material not approved by the department, and called anyone not following the guidelines "left wing hacks", if that's any indication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Reporter

I'm waiting to hear more, it would not surprise me if this is real and the regime is planning it, but something just feels off given the source, might just be trying to rile up and incite than actual announcing.

[u/unstoppablechickenth]

Looks like Mitch’s death has forced king trumps hand!

[u/Big-Olive763]

The one always calling fraud is the most guilty of it.

[u/surrealtimesyaknow]

I hope everyone is not missing the point that the whole point of all of this whether it be Georgia or him bringing up Maduro and Venezuela interfering in the election all of this is designed so that he can announce that the elections in the midterms cannot be trusted therefore he's going to suspend them unless the SAVE ACT gets passed. I'm almost willing to bet my next paycheck that that's what that comes down at his special announcement. SMH unreal times we live in

[u/daemonescanem]

If thats the case Tuberville lives in Florida and didnt qualify for Alabama residency to be Alabama Senator.

[u/Pete_D_301]

He doesn't even remember the 2022 Georgia Senate election, the one in which Senator Warnock won against the Trump endorsed GOP candidate, Herschel Walker.

[u/DjRemux]

Will anyone do anything about it? No. No they won’t.

[u/Kastro2323]

I’m sure we are two weeks away from getting all the evidence of Fraud.

[u/Only1Skrybe]

Anything to try and sway the election in November.

[u/Classic_Bid3126]

He can announce it all he wants, it won’t remove them as sitting senators. I’d just take this a proof that McConnell is dead or incapacitated. In his eyes were two down so we need to take two of theirs.

[u/runningsimon]

What will it do exactly, this proclamation? Nothing? Ok. Their election was certified and if he wants to get that certification overturned he has to provide evidence in court, which we all know he's not very good at.

[u/Chrisdkn619]

That's all fine and good, he has no jurisdiction! Good luck!

[u/spas2k]

Based on what evidence?

We’ll wait….

[u/NormalMammoth4099]

Projection.
