Zelenskyy made a mistake when he told Krasnov that he had to cancel elections in Ukraine because of the war. Krasnov opined, "why can't I do that?"
It is coming.
Also, Bibi has a copy of the Epstein files, Bibi owns Krasnov as much as Putin owns him.
I want to see if Krasnov's fossil fuel friends can still rig the price of gasoline to keep it low? If gasoline prices skyrocket in the US, inflation is going to skyrocket. This war may end Krasnov's reign.

(31,866 posts)but Iran is not Venezuela. Maybe the Ayatollah was bought off and this is Kabuki Theater for regime change, but if Iran fights back this war will go on for years.
We should put NOTHING past this sadistic
maniac as he cares for NO ONE but himself.

(31,866 posts)Postponing the election will be child's play for this fascist Supreme Court. Another SC already allowed the brother of the presidential candidate who was about to lose, stop ongoing vote counts. What law gave the SC to stop the vote count in Florida?

This is doom porn, and it's not going to happen.

(1,636 posts)If red states wanted to go along with it, then they will have functionally zero members in the House and lose 20 or more Senators. That doesn't sound like a great plan for them so they won't cancel their elections either.

(151,038 posts)when he tried. Trying to cancel elections simply will not work.

(6,694 posts)Trying to use this as an excuse to cancel elections, he'd be shut down by the courts before you could blink.

(31,866 posts)that claim that Krasnov can't break the law. I hope you are all right.

(22,720 posts)But nobody gets to disobey the laws of physics.
Cancelling the elections is physically impossible, at least not without a military coup, and they seem to be preoccupied right now.

(20,431 posts)Hes going to stay in power by canceling the elections but it also may end his reign?
With all due respect, pick a fucking lane already 😂

(31,866 posts)Politicians were never going to save our country, it is going to take an uprising of the people, and with this war we will get a significant number of unwashed Magats to join us.
Krasnov is president until 2029 but with this war he may not make it that far, canceling the 2026 elections will only keep Magats in control of Congress and will they continue to fluff Krasnov when unwashed Magats hit the streets?

(1,636 posts)All of the House seats are up, and 33 Senate (and 2 special elections) are up. So since elections are run by the states, no blue state is going to go along with your hypothetical. So if red states did, they would have very few House seats, and lose 19 Senators automatically. Which even without doing the math, puts us in control of both houses of Congress. So no, red states won't be going along with that.

(46,097 posts)But will depose Trump before then? How? Impeachment and conviction? Both Trump and Vance? Who do you think the repubs would install as president beteen now and 2029?
Your thinking on this is seriously clouded.

(46,097 posts)Seems like you've got all the bases covered.
I'm thinking the correct answer is none of the above.

(21,930 posts)It's way past time to Impeach and REMOVE him. ( i do know that's impossible with our numbers) But it's a good thought.
gab13by13
(31,866 posts)I said he would cancel the elections, he isn't up for reelection until 2028. Canceling the 2026 elections would keep Magats in control of Congress but the war will be so unpopular that unwashed Magats are going to turn on him.
The people who are criticizing me are the same ones who told me that Democrats need to GOTV and beat them at the ballot box and then Krasnov steals the election.
Politicians are not going to save this country, the people will have to rise up and throw out the billionaires.
This war will bring unwashed Magats to our side.

(130,074 posts)We had elections following the economic crashes of 1929 and 2008, after 9/11, during the pandemic, and every other national crisis I can think of. Trump is about as popular as an infected hemorrhoid right now, and states manage their own elections. There's enough catastrophizing going on as it is.

(4,807 posts)before the courts kill off any such attempt...
There, fixed it for you....
As a citizen of the state of Michigan, I am confident that any such illegal and un-Constitutional executive orders which might be issued by Trump will be IGNORED by the Democratically-controlled regions of my state, as well as by the Democratic Governor and Secretary of State--
---and if the counties controlled by Republicans try to go along with it,
well, they will just eliminate a lot of Republican votes from the statewide totals!
B.See
(8,197 posts)But TRY they certainly WILL, either to 'mess with' the election, or WORSE. In fact it's ALREADY in the works... the plans and the lies they'll use to implement / justify it... like they've justified every other abhorrent (but certainly 'not at all likely') thing they've done.
