Follow The Clickbait

"We all need to take this very, very seriously," Elias said. "This is a five-alarm fire. This is an alarm in the middle of the night that is warning us that the arsonists are on the loose. They are pouring gasoline on the foundations, and they are lighting matches."

Trump has repeatedly refused to rule out sending federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the National Guard to monitor polling places across the country. Last week, Trump was asked again about his plans for the midterms, at which point he uttered his "do anything" comment.

At the same time, Elias noted Democrats appear to be relying too heavily on American institutions like the courts to thwart Trump's assault on democracy. Elias added that it shows Democrats "don't want to accept that things are as dire as they are."

"They want to assume that the institutions are strong," Elias said. "They want to assume that the guardrails will hold. And you and I have been doing this long enough to know that the guardrails are not holding. The institutions are not that strong, and some of them are in complete collapse because they've capitulated."
It has been six years. Every single "stolen election" theory — from 2,000 Mules to servers in Italy to Georgia suitcases — has been debunked, crushed in court, painstakingly explained, and none of these guys ever have the goods cause it's all nonsense to please POTUS. It's embarrassing for Bartiromo that she is still giving this airtime, and anyone who still falls for this chasing the next new reveal needs to get away from their computer.
60+ cases that never got anywhere in court, and an assault on the Capitol that didn’t change the outcome of the 2020 election, and yet “the guardrails aren’t holding”? 

I agree several states have surrendered voter rolls to the DOJ when that never should have happened, but there’s still that pesky matter of evidence. That’s where almost everyone of the 60 cases in 2020 ran aground. They never got past the challenge to the charges. Trump never had evidence of electoral fraud, and filed suit in order to fish for it. Anyone who’s ever been fishing knows why the metaphor is a “fishing expedition.” You drop bait into the unknown, hoping a fish is there. Civil suits don’t work that way. As Trump found out, over and over and over. 

So now what? Have the courts abandoned that principle? Will they let Trump challenge whatever race he chooses, after the fact? And then what? Order new elections in a crazy quilt pattern across the country, across House districts and state races?

Yeah, that’ll happen. Just like the National Guard and ICE will patrol every polling location in America: everybody everywhere all at once. Sure, Trump will do anything. Just like he’s going to wipe Iran off the map; or destroy its civilization. Or bomb the country into submission. Or send in special forces to recover nearly 1000 lbs of enriched uranium. You know, the way they do in the movies. 

Oh, wait, he may do that one. Or try to, anyway.
They will certainly try to use that one. But we all know the problem with trying to prove a negative. Blanche is promising to find evidence where evidence doesn’t exist. Sound familiar? And when he has it, or says he does, what will he do with it? Take it to court? Too late for that. Use it to get into court in 2026? Irrelevant and inapplicable in too many ways to count. Take it to social media? How’s that working out for Trump’s agenda and his approval? Or the polls? Trump’s minions go before the cameras every week, knowing the clips will show up in Twitter. They keep telling us everything is fine. Is that working?

Or maybe Blanche will just keep saying the truth is out there, but the deep state is very, very good at hiding it.
Or maybe Blanche and Trump are just full of shit, and the more people say so, the more obvious that will be.
