What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

Organized pedophilia OTOH was fine.

He's using the RSV not KJV!  He really is the Antichrist!

I noticed that too.

In his defense he has never read a word of it.

Maybe worried he catches THE GAY from the KJV.

Trump holds a Bible like it burns his hands to touch it.

For those inclined to that belief system, seems to me Trump would be a pretty good fit for the Antichrist.

Isn't the Antichrist supposed to be convincing and charismatic though? 😄

The first report here about the Georgia governor cancelling an election was not quite accurate.

There was a petition in court to hold an election to fill a GA supreme court seat that will be vacated after the November election.  That petition was denied. 

Te report was perfectly accurate.

Note that this article here seems to leave out a rather key element to this entire scheme.

The "resignation" that is happening in November? It is for a seat that would be vacated in the normal manner in December.

So the justice is "resigning" the seat he would have vacated due to his term ending like 4 weeks later. And he is doing it months and month ahead of time, so that specifially, they could cancel the election that was scheduled to elect his successor.

Normally, his term would end in December. The election to see who fills that seat should have happened a couple weeks ago. But he "resigned" his seat in advance a week before that, so the governor could accept his resignation, in advance, while allowing him to serve out the rest of his term (other than the 4 weeks between his resignation and when his term was up), and allowing the governor to appoint his successor for 2 more years beyond that, and cancel the actual election.

Forget whether this is technically legal (it appears to be due to a loophole in how the law was written). It is clearly a gross violation of the intent of democracy. I don't care how many justices pretend like this is ok. It is almost worse BECAUSE it is technically legal, while being obviously criminal in its actual practice.

It is an issue of how the Georgia constitution was written. Why would you presume it was written with the intent of anything like our modern conception of democracy?

Well it was written in 1982. I guess that distant and exotic time had ancient concepts of democracy that are hard for our modern minds to grasp.

It was revised in 1982, but also 1982 Georgia was effectively a one party state (but with an ascending Republican party).

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

My Admin has done more for the Black Community than any President since Abraham Lincoln. Passed Opportunity Zones with @SenatorTimScott, guaranteed funding for HBCU's, School Choice, passed Criminal Justice Reform, lowest Black unemployment, poverty, and crime rates in history...

...AND THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

Sounds like a threat.  Also ... more than any president since Lincoln?
