Basically the license plate and sticker readers are attached to highways. Highways are regulated at the federal level. But approvals were already given and the infrastructure is already in place. So right now the federal government would have to get a favorable court order and then show up themselves to take the infrastructure down. Because the state is just going to ignore him. Which because of the way federal/state powers work is something they can do to an extent.

Oh Tigers also kill by ripping and shredding when the occasion calls for it…

Yup this is the problem with digital news. It isn’t naturally archivable. You can’t go to a library and check old issues of stuff that was removed from digital storage.

This is a direct violation of rights under the US Constitution. If they can detain and send non citizens abroad with no due process then there is no functional block to them doing it to citizens. All the same reasoning applies because the US Constitution gives everyone in the US rights. The only thing protecting citizens right now is the lack of a law directing their deportation and the willingness of ICE to check documents.

Wow you dodge the entire issue of the US Constitution and legal Asylum so well. I’d like to see you in a Dodgeball game.

Oh yeah, there’s no way he can legitimize this and he would if he showed up.

A new constitution is a really bad idea until we can do a lot more organizing. Conservatives have been practicing for a convention for at least 20 years. If we called one right now they’d steamroll the liberals and we’d have an actual king again.

Yeah I never claimed this would be easy. It’s all predicated on people showing up. Because of course if we just sit there and go, “oh dear, someone should do something.” Nobody is going to do anything.

Lmao that’s the truth, I’m pretty sure those trunks add taste.

Man we need better tone marks for text language. I wasn’t mad at you, just making conversation.

Okay so a video form of the same data I already looked at isn’t going to convince me any better. In order for the rest -

Auditing the 2024 election. Every swing state does an audit. They already do the simple thing the article admits would show a hack had occurred. Look up Post Election Audit.

One Amish guy’s friend is not data.

Trump, Musk, and Musk’s kid making comments are not evidence unless they say, “I changed the numbers in X state.”

And Gillibrand is a conservative Democrat. It’s absolutely possible for people to vote for her and Trump. Most people weren’t even aware of project 2025. In exit polling the biggest factor was the economy.

I’m going to say the thing I came here to say one more time. You are borrowing trouble you don’t need and isn’t real. Take a step back and actually look instead of going down the doomhole.

No, in the USA States have a limited form of sovereignty. They elect their own officials and hold all powers not expressly given to the Federal Government. So while the President has some law enforcement agents, most of them are actually employed by the State Governors and Counties/Cities. The Governors have a Secretary of State that is also elected who are responsible for running all elections in the state.

So if Trump tried to make an Executive Order that only Republicans could vote, (this is meant to be an extreme example, it would backfire hilariously in real life), the states could legally ignore it. However if Congress passed that as a law and the Supreme Court upheld it then the states would be legally bound to prevent anyone not registered as a Republican from voting for federal offices.

The thing is the Republicans don’t have enough of a majority to just pass any law they want. So it’s very unlikely there will be an extreme voting law in the next 2 years. So if federal agents showed up trying to enforce an Executive Order from Trump it is highly likely they would be arrested by the state or city police for interfering in voting.

I’d like dev access please. I have ideas.

A partial count is a common and effective means of preventing exactly this problem. Every swing state does a Post Election Audit.

None.

I’d like to speak to your manager, I was promised a sonnet about the love of pumpkin pie and all I got was bigotry.

Mmm Tamales.

But yeah I’m not restricting my definition of restaurant to a building. That cuts off entire categories of awesome food.

That’s not what I’m saying. The entire point here is that he does not have the physical power to interfere in state elections without an act of Congress. The states would arrest any federal agents trying to do so. This isn’t a “gentleman’s agreement” that nobody is enforcing.

So the problem with a Man in The Middle attack is the numbers won’t sync. And not on fancy charts. It’s like saying cashier drawer theft would go unnoticed because there’s no camera. When they count the drawer at the end of the night they’re going to know. When they get the hard copies of the ballots at the end of the night they’re going to know.

That article tells me nothing. And yes I’m familiar with the idea of manufactured consent and the history of the business plot. That’s not really relevant to actual evidence of hacking. And star link isn’t a magical device. It’s basically a really powerful wifi router. You could just as easily accuse the cell towers or the ISP cable nodes. There’s no magic tech there to get into places unnoticed unless starlink is the only router it ever touches, and that’s not how any of that actually works.
