This tweet serves as a timestamp for the moment when it became obvious that he is going to suspend elections.
I’m not sure what the justification will be. Not that it’ll matter, because the reason will be wholly invented.
I don’t have a crystal ball. Just a working set of eyes.
@ejsiii3@AZCowboy72 @fightingsully @mattvanswol@BernieSanders You have to be clinically fucking retarded if you think that anyone who has amassed >$1b in net worth without dramatically exceeding a 5% CAGR on said net worth.
Translation (since you’re retarded) the growth of their wealth will ALWAYS outpace this tax.
Jesus Christ.
@countersources @RepDonBeyer Suddenly, when it’s Trump doing it, everyone understands nuance.
Since you are now newly capable of nuance, there were no “pallets of cash” - we unfroze Iranian assets that we had seized. We gave them back their own money.
@Beans84811745@tripgabriel Fundraising on White House grounds is a violation of the Hatch Act, but you’re out here calling other people idiots.
Jesus Christ.
@FranzEB7@KobeissiLetter This is the S&P500 versus Emerging Markets
Money has aggressively rotated out of US markets, beginning almost immediately when Trump was sworn in.
The chart doesn’t lie.
I’ve been thinking more about this, and believe this will materialize as a massive ICE presence at polling stations that lean blue / purple.
It’s far less obvious than suspending elections outright, but effectively achieves the same outcome.
Massively suppresses the blue vote.

@rugbyphilosophy@AnatoliUkraine@RpsAgainstTrump There’s a certain cadence that these chatbots carry - I don’t really know how to describe it. It’s almost arrogant in the ways it tries to be clever with a turn of phrase. There’s usually a three-part staccato element of the reply, like here.
No real human talks like that.
@TheColonel8275@cbeckj@Anarchronia@grok@keodark@adamscochran For some reason twitter doesnt give me notifications for your replies, BK.
I’d like to hear your point though - if not for the regulatory restrictions of the NFA, why do we not see more widespread use of suppressors in mass shootings?
@cbeckj@TheColonel8275@Anarchronia@grok@keodark@adamscochran Constitutional carry removes permits for carry, not regulation. Whether a legislature allows it is a policy choice, not a constitutional ruling.
We both want fewer bad actors having guns. Drawing from the NFA’s effectiveness in reducing proliferation gives us a framework.
@cbeckj@TheColonel8275@Anarchronia@grok@keodark@adamscochran Interesting point.
@grok FOPA and the Brady Act are statutes, not court rulings. Can you cite a judicial decision that held gun registries unconstitutional, rather than Congress choosing to prohibit a federal registry by statute?
@cbeckj@TheColonel8275@Anarchronia@grok@keodark@adamscochran The Heller decision did not rule on constitutionality of gun registries.
What court decision are you referring to?
In any such case, gun registries already exist - namely for SBR’s, SBS, DD’s, and MG’s
So what are you referring to?
@cbeckj@TheColonel8275@Anarchronia@grok@keodark@adamscochran Carol, it’s beginning to seem like you’re allergic to nuance.
It has stopped the proliferation of suppressors and MGs.
You could abolish the GCA (which I’m in favor of doing), and bring a certain class of weapons under the NFA retroactively. Forego the tax, and register them.
@cbeckj@TheColonel8275@Anarchronia@grok@keodark@adamscochran I would agree that in the US wherein owning guns is a constitutional right, you can’t prevent mass shootings entirely.
However, you can certainly REDUCE them.
The NFA has demonstrated that it has effectively regulated the proliferation of such items. We can draw ideas from that
@cbeckj@TheColonel8275@Anarchronia@grok@keodark@adamscochran Completely misrepresenting everything I typed out to exhaustively clarify my point, and nearly hyperventilating as you do it.
Why?
I want to keep my guns. I want you to keep yours.
I have deliberately acknowledged what you say I haven’t.
Take a breath, Carol.
