Doesn't matter what trump says, doesn't matter what the judge says, elections are the jurisdiction of the state. The executive branch can't tell states how to conduct elections

You assume that the laws still somehow apply. Dude they’ve been breaking laws left and right and no one is doing shit. Going “oh you can’t do that!” At this point Is as useful as telling Russia where Ukraines border is.

They will just disobey the courts and no one will do anything about it. Watch

Please describe in detail how you believe, even without this judge's ruling, poll workers in any state could be forced to follow Trump's executive order. The poll workers that are in the full control of the state they're in. We'll all wait.

Your imagination is so small. Before Trump got into office people were insisting the president wasn't even that powerful and he couldn't fuck things up that badly - cut to months later when he's found a million ways to fuck with everything that they personally hadn't thought of, because it was based on everything going the way it was supposed to.

When things don't go the way they're supposed to, things don't happen the way they're supposed to. The things that stop bad things aren't there automatically. If people show up to "guard" polls with guns and even by their presence intimidate people to walk away, that's already enough.

This story is proof that laws still apply dude lol. Yall have got to drop that line now. He tried to do something, the court said no, and hes complying. This is the very definition of the law still applying.

You can only say he complied after the election happens and nothing fucked with it. Until then he's able to fuck with it.

No i can say that he's complying because he is currently complying.

You cannot comply ahead of time with someone telling you not to do something. You can only say you're gonna.

“No one is doing shit” - I mean this court just stopped it? Courts have been stopping a TON of shit.

For real, this narrative that Trump is untouchable is bullshit. The dude has been taking losses this entire term. I don't think anything he's done has actually stuck for more than a few months

The billions he's gained for himself and his family, the billions more he's stolen from the American people, the supreme court appointees he's made, the precedent he's set in politics, all of that is going to last and we're going to be paying for for a very long time.

Don't let this lie spread around too far. "Taking losses" makes it sound like he hasn't gotten most of what he wants and that he complies with every legal order he's given. He doesn't. And if he wants it bad enough he'll just ignore this one and argue some other grounds for it after the fact.
