I think he's going to sieze ballot boxes in Democratic cities in November

Trump posts discredited conspiracy theories following seizure of 2020 ballots in Georgia
.....

In the hours after FBI agents seized 2020 election ballots from an elections facility in Georgia on Wednesday, President Donald Trump posted a series of thoroughly discredited conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election -- and the 2016 election too.

Fulton County officials said Wednesday that the FBI seized original 2020 voting records while serving a search warrant at the county's Elections Hub and Operations Center. The FBI said they were conducting court-authorized activity at the facility, but said they would provide no further information.

Late Wednesday night, the president reposted to his social media platform a claim that Italian military satellites had been used to hack into U.S. voting machines to flip votes from Trump to Joe Biden.

"China reportedly coordinated the whole operation," the post reads. "The CIA oversaw it, the FBI covered it up, all to install Biden as a puppet."

He's going to send the military in to sieze voting machines in Democratic cities in the mid terms.

Bank on it.

And I've yet to hear a plan to stop him.

I’ve yet to hear a plan on how he would successfully seize ballot boxes in all Dem cities.

(No, yesterday’s raid in Georgia doesn’t count)

They are resurrecting the conspiracy theory that Trump lost due to foreign interference.

And now he has lackeys running the agencies.

Responsible adults need to intervene and put his ass in the corner. TIME OUT Donny. You are wrecking this nation from the inside out. ENOUGH.

the tinpot dictator in the WH has ordered the FBI to seize 2020 ballots in Georgia in an unprecedented action.

If this was tried during an active election, this would end up in the Supreme Court I suspect, and with the makeup of the SC as it is, makes people quite worried.

Even during the fiasco in Florida in 2000, that wasn't done.

In my view the only way this can be stopped is too have a massive turnout of voters vote out trump and his republican thugs so the election wouldn't even be close.

The only way they have a chance is if it is a very close election.

If we are able to win back Congress and the WH, the people trying to destroy our Democracy need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
