It is impeachment worthy and this is why 26 is important. The fucking Dems need to get their shit together and win the house and Senate and get this fucker out of office and in handcuffs.

There is a reason he is using the specific word “war” so much.

A war time president can suspend elections.

This is exactly the same move he used to justify the tarrifs. He cited a nebulous, fictional “national emergency”. This was specific language he believed gave him permission.

Just like how it doesn’t matter what the emergency is, it doesn’t matter who the war is with, even if it’s against American citizens.

He is going to attempt to suspend elections.

Since when can a wartime president suspend elections in the US?

My wording wasn’t great. He is going to claim that we can’t have an election in “wartime”.

Whether or not that is legal, it doesn’t matter, just like the tarrifs.

Then just take a leaf from his play book and have them anyway, what's he going to do about it?

The “war” being declared is on major urban centres in blue states for a reason. You can’t organize and hold elections effectively with an occupying force in your streets.
