This apparently is the memorandum issued by Trump. There is no justification at all. He's not invoking the Insurrection Act.

Well... yeah. Why not raise the price of cars to discourage the use of cars?
(Yes, we know why — we aren't preparing and structuring life without cars. Our land use and transportation policies are firmly centered around the common use of cars by nearly everyone, around the ownership of cars)

Most of the awful people in the Trump regime are card-carrying Christians. Does this mean they do their awfulness despite their Christianity or because of it?

It means nothing unless...
1. He demonstrates he has the power to ram through a constitutional amendment
2. He's willing to ignore court rulings
We're not going to sit still and allow that kind of illegal presidential behavior repeatedly. He thinks we are — fuck that.

It's fascism - the lying, the gaslighting, the willingness to directly act in violation of the Constitution. The cold inhumanity.

Oh, I get it. The smoke is apparently from the burning of the ballots. So now everyone's supposed to have faith in the results of the voting, without evidence of ballots. God's choice, or somesuch.

One of the primary enablers of this destruction and cruelty — entirely predictable.
