Politico: Could Trump Try to Cancel The Election?

Compare these two headlines:

headline1.png

headline2.png

Same propaganda organ -- Same day!

Yes, on the same day, Politico asserted that the authoritarian Trump might cancel the election and attempt to remain president without a vote, and also argued he was too much of a soyboy beta c**k to be the Authoritarian Gotham Needs.


The media is nothing but nonsense clickbait and outrage-farming. They are not serious, and they are unworthy.

I'm not linking the media any longer.

Here's some soft shit Politico crapped out:

Will a president with authoritarian tendencies actually try to suspend a constitutionally mandated presidential election?

That’s the question Americans asked in the spring and summer of 1970. At the end of the 1960s, a wave of violence--domestic terrorism, urban riots, assassinations and rising crime--set the public on edge. A presidential panel, decrying a national “crisis of violence,” found that 41,000 bombings or bomb threats had occurred in the U.S. in the preceding 15 months. Richard Nixon—whose abuses of presidential power would ultimately lead to his resignation—struck his critics as so heedless of democratic norms and the rules of fair play that he was capable of attempting almost anything.

After 2000 words stoking fears that Trump would seize power, the article admits he probably won't -- but he still might.

It is very unlikely that Trump could get away with postponing the November elections; who knows if he even wants to try. But as the Nixon example shows, that doesn't mean we won't all be talking about this as a live possibility as our crisis worsens. Presidents who make a show of flouting norms and arrogating power shouldn't be surprised when large portions of the population assumes that when the crunch comes, they’ll do more of the same.

"This conspiracy theory is probably untrue but that doesn't mean we shouldn't continue propagating it for maximum political value."

The same media that deplatforms competitors and critics for pushing alleged conspiracy theories and misinformation sure does rely on conspiracy theories and misinformation for their revenue.

21 Trump is not a small government guy, and he's never been one. The only way small government manifests in him is in terms of regulation.

He's small government only in this sense: he wants a more efficient, streamlined government. Not small in terms of liberty or philosophy, but in terms of effectiveness and waste.

He is shrinking the size of agencies left and right, he's cutting back on spending through that, but not because he believes its constitutional or better in terms of liberty.

I'll take what I can get.

Veto this shit bill. Order the House and Senate in session continuously, all members present in the chamber, until they produce a bill he will sign.

He would win in November with 49 states.

44 It's certainly better than W.

Other than the idiotic DHS, Bush the younger did try, at least with congress. Every budget he submitted was balanced and shrunk spending. Every time it was ignored and bloated spending was passed.

But Bush could have done with Trump is doing with executive departments and didn't bother even trying, which suggests the balanced budgets were just for show, knowing congress would ignore them like they always do the president's budget suggestion.

51 The worst part of yesterday's "Weak Strongman" analysis yesterday was that Harris wasn't even talking about his own opinion. He just said: let's look at all these various over-the-top caricatures of Trump by his haters and see which one applies to the current situation - his leadership during a pandemic. Oh, the authoritarian one is kinda, sorta close, but let's call him a weak authoritarian to make it "fit."

Please don't forget "DNC Marketing". That's Job #1.

The persuasion tool behind "Will Trump cancel the election?" is the *built in false assumption* (they do this a lot) that he is going to lose, or that he is some kind of loser. At a time when he is very clearly winning.

Assigning it to outrage and clickbait gives them way too much credit. We can all understand the impetus to make money, however underhandedly. What it really is is pure invented Pravda bullshit designed to fool people, divide the country, aid communists and kill America.

guess? Both.

Posted by: Farmer Bob at March 27, 2020 02:01 PM (87EdW)

The meme is that Trump did not act "in time" and the consequences included an economic shutdown, layoffs, unemployment, illness and death. There will be a month of Coronavirus Hearings this summer which is basically going to be a rehash of Shampeachment II: Election Boogaloo. It's going to make us very very angry.

Just wait until this shit dies down. The "Scientific House Liberty Panel of Patriotism, Health and Patriotic Americans Who Love America, Freedom and Science" is no doubt going to do a fake autopsy of "what went wrong" and a full vivisection of the Failed Trump Presidency and it's just gonna be more national broadcasts of OrangeManBad. I can't wait.

136 I was in high school/college during the Nixon years. He was hated by the elites/media, as we all know. But I certainly don't recall anyone expressing a fear that he would try to cancel elections. Remember, this was only 25 years years post Hitler and during the cold war. The idea of a tyrant in the US was unthinkable. A better example of a feared tyrant would be FDR, aka. Mr. President For Life. Dumbest historical analogy I have ever seen.

Posted by: Garth Hudson at March 27, 2020 02:13 PM (ffwQz)

137 OK, let's put together some facts. Many of these so called WuFu deaths are really people dying for other reasons and the media wants to make the numbers large. Most are old and have preexisting conditions.
Where are these "deaths" occurring? Mostly in the ghetto. In Queens were over half of the deaths in NYC are coming from 2/3's of the residents are not native born and most all of them are living in poverty in public housing.
In NO, it's Blacks living in public housing. I suspect the same in Chicago and LA.

It will have even greater effect now that he indicated he would sign it.

NOLA is thoroughly and completely fucked, and the aftermath is going to be worse than the virus. Know someone there who's said "EVERY business in N.O. just laid off all of their workers." N.O.'s main industries are Hotels, Restaurants, Bars, and entertainment in general. They don't have much else going for them anymore.

Another part is YouTube ... something like 70% of videos people watch are from the YouTube selection ... where they list them off the side of the current video (or suggest them on a Smart TV thing)

He thinks there will be no action by congress, they said as much, after he testified to Congress. And he thinks Trump can't win unless some kind of action stops the trend/control. Of course he has a self interest in saying that, since he is seeking funding for his project to reveal in real time when Google/FB are manipulating.


But there is no doubt the massive brainwashing and censorship of Google (like 90% of all searches use them, Bing is maybe 2% I think) ... the Google PsyOp is very powerful ... plus the media of course, and oligarchs like Soros ... etc.

He was enjoying himself, but didn't need to be President. Why stick around being President when you can leave office, stop pretending to love your wife, spin up a "non-profit" and engage in shadowy international crime for fun and profit?

Clinton got everything he wanted, and he didn't need to be President to get it (probably couldn't have gotten it if he were).

If one says "I don't think it's as bad as they're saying," it's gotten to the level of it being almost a firmly held religious belief. And no, I can't tell anyone it's absolutely NOT going to kill millions of people the world over.

I just don't believe it's going to, based on years of experience dealing with infectious diseases... and common sense.

Still, who's going to listen to me. I don't work for the CDC or WHO, and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn last night.

During a Sunday press briefing, Cuomo said 750,000 doses of chloroquine, 70,000 doses of hydroxychloroquine and 10,000 doses of Zithromax were acquired by New York state for the trial.

The problem is that so many right-wing media types are philthy whores who only talk about right wing ideas because that's where the paycheck is. The moment some cock-guzzling commie billionaire starts waving $100 bills at them, they'll expose the RightList alternate communication line and it'll lose it's effectiveness.

He put American citizens in camps with no more than an Executive Order.

I seem to recall that this is not correct. 500k was what he predicted provided that the gov't do what it originally planned to do which was just isolate the elderly and let it 'burn through the population' to develop 'herd immunity'.

So he's affirming here that his original assessment is unchanged.

I however think he's being too rosy, but public relations are public relations.

356 I don't think the majority of people appreciate what a moment in history this is...

When I recommend that Trump veto this bill and hang (mostly democrats) congress out to dry, it isn't just to win this election.

Trump could pull a game changer on a national scale, turn traditionally blue state red and switch a few of the long-democrat victim groups over to the right.

Chuck the 1200 bucks and at least double it. Send it to everyone immediately. If you need to means test something later, then do it later, but for now, get as much money as humanly possible in the hands of ordinary people and small business.

Trump should stay on national TV while the senate and house are locked down and continue to shame them and their pork projects until they come up with the new clean bill.

It would work.

Trump would be a hero of people and the Pelosi's of the world would be the villians.

405 JJ, was merely making the mildly sarcastic (if not musical) point that the instruments of the "coup" you're talking about are Trump and his top advisers - unavoidably.

Either they're dupes, or puppets, or part of the "coup". Reductio ad absurdum - instant, in this case.

Or, perhaps, they're decision-makers making tough calls with imperfect info.

But so far there is perfect resistance here to seeing the unavoidable quandary - participants or dupes? - that is created by the assumption that an "op" is under way.

But I lied, I did say "I give up" after one commenter quadrupled down on his stupid after I (again, indirectly) tried to point him to the logical extension of his assertions. So I'll try to give up again.

This is a strategy. Why make someone you are trying to negotiate with get all emotional and hate you?

At the same time he is relentless and very direct in attacking people like in the press or political opponents (mini mike, slow joe, rino romney,...) because he wants and expects nothing from them.

This is all strategy, but it can make him seem like a bully. The press wants people like TFG who are phony, and DJT is not phony.

I upset some earlier this week, but anyone reading this blog probably knows I worked hard to explain why, as far as the economy was concerned, this was an Extinction Level Event. I'm not that concerned about the virus, I think it'll be mostly finished by May 1. But these shutdowns - the economy is NOT built to handle that, and we were looking at the total collapse of our markets, our pensions, our job markets, in due course our society.

The sudden infusion of $2 Trillion will buy us about 30 days, I think. I hope we don't need to do it again at that point - we might. But we truly, honestly, were standing at the brink of losing *everything*, including the country.

In 2008, it wasn't Bush's moment, it was that dead piece of shit McCain's moment. Nothing moved until he OK'd the deal. Even with Obama's charisma, if McCain had said "No", then went on air with a populist message of bail out the people, not the banks, he would have been president.

473 If Congressmen could work from their own districts, I'd be in favor of increasing the number of Congressmen to 3,142. One from each county in the US. Make it too expensive for interest to just buy Congress and keep the Representatives within lynching distance of their constituents.

474 433 cont.

I think part of his personality is based on the wall street idea of being a BSD (big swinging dick) who simply does not care what others think or are doing. He does what he thinks is right and does not care about appearances.

He does care to the extent that if he is negotiating with a person he does not criticize them to make them hate him, but he doesn't care how it looks to the public.

He also points out press unfairness a lot, but that is because the *injustice* bothers him, not what they think. It bothers him that we live in a world where they get away with this shit. Where they get paid for this shit. Where they are too stupid to see the fucking problems being created by their ideology. That bothers a lot of people but Trump has no problem pointing it out. That is very different from caring what other people think. (I think.)

Exactly!

They still haven't picked up his carrot-and-stick routine, where he will compliment his opponent when they work with him, and sometimes goes out of his way to de-personalize it by saying something like "so and so is a great person!" as he's done with world leaders like Kim. he is showing them how things are when they work with him to encourage more of it.

Ace, as I've mentioned before - you should archive the links to these
shill outlets. I hate clicking Rolling Stone and NYT and WaPo and the
rest of them when you do post. So invariably, I never read the "article".



An archived link 1) will mean only you need to go to the site (which presumably you already have) and 2) freeze their lies for posterity.



Just go to: http://archive.vn/

and paste the link in, and voila! We can all get a good laugh and give them zero ad revenue.

536 Gentlemen, this .... - Trump does have a distinctive and at first odd habit that describe perfectly. He butters up counterparts in an ongoing negotiation or relationship (regardless of what he probably really thinks of them), to a degree that's jarring, especially for a president dealing with a foreign leader. This is a set pattern, but it actually has a bit of extra real value with China, where even ritualistic expressions of respect matter.

The sometimes equally jarring trash talk to such as Romney is just refreshing NYC businessman mouth.

He and yes, I'm not trying to scare-monger here. I don't know what is going to happen and hope the current measures will be successful in reducing deaths/side effects.

I suspect I've been too thin-skinned responding to people who claim this is all a hoax and a scheme of democrats and Chinese communists. I've seen the evidence of this and it's unconvincing to me. I think though that Trump understands, like Tucker understands, that 'Salus populi suprema lex esto' - which is why Trump hasn't totally clamped down and done something like trying to shut down the whole country. The economy is secondary to physical well-being, but still part of the health of our people.

I don't doubt that the Chinese and Democratic Party would love to take advantage of this crisis, but I don't see how they're presently being successful. The facts don't support this thesis, I believe. I think everyone is getting f--ked hard by this thing with or without economic damage.

I don't think it was done intentionally, no way would anyone have guessed we would have reacted this way. Where we differ is that I think this will turn out to be no more than another H1N1 event, which is how we should have treated it.

Now economically, I see our reaction (as Trump does) as an Extinction Level Event, but even there, I think it's being driven by cowardice, fear, and a complete inability of our society to deal with risk on a rational basis. The faster we can get rid of these shutdowns, the better off we all will be.

Mom's a DAR, which as I understand it is very much more 'real' than CAR. But ultimately both sides of my family came here pre-"revolution". It does strike me as a little bit silly, though, considering how many leftist radicals came from England before the revolution and what havoc they have caused.

588 He and yes, I'm not trying to scare-monger here. I don't know what is going to happen and hope the current measures will be successful in reducing deaths/side effects.

I suspect I've been too thin-skinned responding to people who claim this is all a hoax and a scheme of democrats and Chinese communists. I've seen the evidence of this and it's unconvincing to me. I think though that Trump understands, like Tucker understands, that 'Salus populi suprema lex esto' - which is why Trump hasn't totally clamped down and done something like trying to shut down the whole country. The economy is secondary to physical well-being, but still part of the health of our people.

I don't doubt that the Chinese and Democratic Party would love to take advantage of this crisis, but I don't see how they're presently being successful. The facts don't support this thesis, I believe. I think everyone is getting f--ked hard by this thing with or without economic damage.

I think they, democrats/media, are not letting this crisis or any crisis go to waste. I think it was an unknown known when started and we needed time to asses what happened. It was , still is an unstable event. On 9/11 we closed air traffic completely, because we did not know what was in the sky, how many were highjacked and how many more were going to slam into buildings and kill people. Viral disease that takes lives is harder to control.

Personally I think they should have immediately shut down air travel and then from there decided on county-by-county basis what places to shut down. But I suspect our organization isn't good enough to pull this off.

"oh no, green line go down" drives so much decision-making, while nowadays the average person's well-being is so disconnected from the stock market that it's laughable.

You gotta be realistic about this. Cuomo himself seems like he could do a good job, much better than Biden, and is less likely to be just a puppet (like Clinton or Biden would necessarily be.) However, the biggest gains we can possibly get from a R presidency are the change in judiciary positions, both federal and supreme courts. Until we get RBG swapped out with someone reasonably more conservative, and this hasn't happened yet. However, I don't vote so for me this is just commentary on sports.

Cuomo is rather reminiscent of Breznev, isn't he?

608 I'd love to know where those idiots at Politico got that crap about Nixon. I was around back in 1970, and the fact is Nixon was pretty popular at that point in his presidency, at least with the non-Communist crowd. The whole Watergate thing did not come to pass for another couple of years, and in 1970 at least, there was no one complaining about any "abuses of power" by him. Indeed, the main bitch the Commies had was that he was not pulling out of Vietnam fast enough to suit them. He did get us out of Vietnam, but the peace treaty was not signed until January of '73.

In fact, Nixon was never what you'd call a really "conservative" president. The only ones who were really on the prod for him were the usual Marxist bomb throwing Billy Ayers gang and the Black Power Uber Alles crowd.
